In BRIEF. The coming of the Spanish
torpedo tlotilla TO Porto Rico is to be re-
garded as a hostile demonstration toward
the United States from the fact that the
Spanish can have no use for such vessels
in their war against the Cubans. The
torpedo boat is for naval warfare exclu-
sively, but the Cuban insurgents have no
navy and no Seacoast towns. IL the event
of their reaching the seaooast at any point
a cruiser or a battleship might be useful
but not a fleet of torpedo boats.
Tnree vessels of the Puget Sound Alaska
fleet, have sailed from Seattle for
the north. They We're the Alliance, Re-
lance and Huenome, carrying all told $50
passengers, so head of livestock and 1000
tons of supplies. The Alliance, with 275
fortune seekers aboard, is bound for Cop
per River, but en- route she will also stop
at ports Fort Wrangel, Juneau and
Skaguay. Pension frauds, said by the
investigating agent of the pension de-
partment to be the greatest ever known in
the United States, have been discovered in
Providence, r. ]. Two arrests were made
March 2lst, and Is other warrants have
been sworn out against claim agents of
Providence and vicinity. ~. There are
thirteen ''hornets'' in the torpedo fotlla
which is now en- route from the Canares
for Porto Rico. They may find hornet S
nest in the American waters. -. During
the past week two battleships were
launched the Kentucky and the kearsarge
but year must elapse before they can
be made ready for service.

The Heirs of DR.. Garcelon.

LEWISTON, Me-, March 81. Four New
York drafts, each of the value of $500,
arrived in this city today and were deliv-
cred to the local heirs of the estate of
DR.. Seward S. Garcelon of California
The heirs are Charles E. Garcelon, Mrs
Hannah Farr, Mrs. Chas. E. Haley and
Miss Lizzie Jones. The estate has been
the subject Of protracted litigation for
several years and SO persistent were the
parties who sought to break the will that
the Maine beneficiaries had nearly aban-
doned hope. Bowdoin College receives a
large sum by the final disposition of the
case.

NEWS or THE WEEK.

MAINE MATTERS. General Charles w.
Roberts died at his home in Bangor.
March 23d, of cancer of the stomach.
complicated with other ailments. He
was nearly SO years old. Deceased was
native of Oldtown, Me-, but lived in Ban
gor most all his life. He was twice the
Democratic candidate for governor, in
1870 and 1875, both times defeated; and
was collector of customs at Bangor from
1887 to 1891. He was colonel of the 2nd
Maine regiment in the Rebellion and later
breveted brigadier general for gallantry
on the field. He leaves a wife and two
daughters and two sisters, one of whom is
the wife of Chief Justice Peters of the
Supreme Court. The Orono accident
goes down i'll history as one of the mex
plicable of railroad mysteries. The COM
missioners report that after an exhaustive
investigation they cannot find out what
threw the train from the track on January
10Th and caused the death of four persons
and the injury of many. If they cannot,
nobody can. -. The biggest pennant that
is likely to fly in Maine for some time is
the one 243 feet long which the officers of
the gunboaJ Machias obtained in China
and have presented to the town of Machias.
So. Governor Powers did credit to him
self and his State at the Boston Sports
mems show. He was the special guest
of the Sons of Maine in Somerville,
Mass, March 23d, and had a reception
and banquet. Speech making constituted
the programme. Governor Powers words
were of patriotic nature. .. Portland
has contributed generously for the relief
Of the suffering Cubans. Other Maine
cities might well follow her example,.
Maine day at the great Sportsmen's show
! in Boston appears to have been a most
decided success. A long and very sharp
hearing was held before the Governor
and Council March oath, on the matter
of Withholding the stipend of the York
County Fair association, that has been
given so much publicity. Eminent counsel
appeared on both sides and it was decid-
ed to withhold the 1897 stipend, amount
ing to $40, on account of alleged gambl-
ing, immoral exhibitions and liquor sell
ing on fair grounds but to grant the 1896
stipend of S17O.. The annual meeting of
the Maine Schoolmasters Club was
held April LIST at the Tontine Hotel
Brunswick. The business meeting at was
followed by prandial exercises at S
o clock. Among other speakers GA the
occasion was Supt. Mary S. Snow.

ENGLAND'S I~NDIGNATION.
France Does Not Think She VIII Pick
a Quarrel With Russia.

London. August 12.-Thc morning pa
pers express the growing indignation of
the country at the position of affairs
in China.
The Daily Graphic says:
If this state of things continues. the
guns will 90 OFF of thcmsclves."
The Shanghai correspondent Of the
MaiIy Mail who processes to divulge the
terms of Il I~oAg-eNisting secret treaty be
tween China and Russia, says:
1T is nothing less than an offensive
alliance. China undertakes to regard
Russia rs having prcponderating inhu-
encc i'll all questions of commercial and
internal politics. while Russia will sup
port China against all open door dc
mands. Russia finances China's internal
developments. and China grants Russia
preferential rates in certain areas. and
railways built i'll the ioint interests OF
the two countries will be under Russia
practical control.
Russia will assist China III developing
her military and naval forces: and China
will cooperate with Russia aS an ally.
This treaty has been i'll allegiance since
Ii Hung Chang visited the Gar. That
1t has become operative at the present
momcn in respect to the Pckin Han
kow and Niu-Chwang contracts is signi-
~ticant."
The French press comment glccfully
upon the situation. and the newspapers
at Berlin and Vienna are at no pains to
hide their satisfaction at the discontinue
Of England. The Continental press re-
CARDS the project Of an AncIo-Amcrican
alliance rs chimcrica1. These journals
consider that the United States have
had enough of war for the present and
will not care to give Great Britain any
thing more than support i'll China.
Therefore. they argue. England is not
likely to pick a quarrel with Russia hui
will content herself with seeking com
pcnSatiOn elsewhere.

termination of the war brings before
the State Department many far-reachine
subjects for determination. Probably the
most important of these Is the estab-
lishment of plans of government for the
various possessions acquired 10y the Uni
ted States, most of them permanent. and
Manila temporary with the chance OF
permanency. There is the attending
question of dealing with the people oi
the acquired territories. These larger
questions are being considered with great
care and deliberation and there Is not
likely to he any haste in reaching con
illusions. The matters of pressing I'M
portance are the appointment Of commits
sionerS to arrange terms of peace AT
Paris and the military commission to
meet at Havana and San Juan.
1t seems to be settled that Ambassador
