MR.. DINGLEYS CONDITION
Exceedingly Frecarious, but No Symptoms
for the Worse Appear.
Heart the Greatest Con-
Germ NOw-T.le Other Sick
People.

The condition of Representative Nelson
Dingley, jr., who has been i'll for some days
with pneumonia, was unchanged today. DR..
Deale realizes the serious condition of his
distinguished patient and remtiined at his
bedside all night. The progress of the dis
ease seems to have been stayed The
greatest concern, however, is felt over
the enfeebled condition of the patient's
heart, which requires constant stimulation.
If the heart can be kept going until the
patient regains some of his lost strength
great hopes are entertained for his re-
coVery. Meanwhile everything possible is
being done and the wonderful vitality of
the distinguished son of Maine is helping
the doctors not little. Mr. Dingley rested
quietly most of the night and was as easy
during the forenoon as his aggravated ner-
vous condition would permit. His weak
ness continues, but there were no symp-
toms for the worse today. His condition
Is stlil exceedingly precarious.

De CASTRO CALLED DOWN
Civil Governor of Havana Has Become Very
Demineering.


HAVANA, January 9.-Senor Fernandez
de Castro, the civil governor of Havana,
acts as though he had his former powers,
He has ordered the Hygienc Hospital to be
closed. General Ludlow, the military gov
ernor of the district of Havana, who had
not been consulted in the matter, was dis
pleased when he heard of the action taken
and directed that the hospital be reopened.
De Castro ordered the newspapers last
week not to print certain business adver-
tisements which were distasteful to him.
They did not do so. General Ludlow will
probably remove the civil governor.
John Gary Evans, though not exactly
alcalde or mayor of Havana, has been Ci-
rected by General Ludlow to reconstruct
the minor courts and supervise the police
and some of the civil departments.
A dispatch from Remedies says that Gen
eral Maximo Gomez danced polkas and

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA,
SO Far Money Orders Are Concern
ed 1t VIII He Secured.

Superintendent Metcalf of the money or
der office returned to the city this morning
after his official visit to Ottawa. As stated
IL The Star Saturday, Superintendent Met
calf went to Canada to discuss with the
postal authorities a reciprocal arrangement
with respect to money orders. The results
of his labOrs were most fattering. A de-
tailed account of what was accomplished
was printed Saturday. Superintendent Met
calf stated to reporter of The Star this
morning that while he was in Ottawa he
accomplished several other important mat
ters which will rebound to the great bene-
fit of both countries. In every country in
the world, with the exception of Canada,
Great Britain and three colonies, the maxi
mum amount of a money order Is 800. In
the exceptions it is $50. Superintendent
Metcalf says the Canadian authorities as
sured Linn of their willingness to increase
the amount to 800. This will be accom-
plished by March. The most important
concession obtained was the acceptance of
the Canadian authorities of proposition
to include our new possessions in the new
arrangements. Money orders intended for
these countries, however, will have to pass
through the Washington office, since all the
postal stations in the islands made sub
stations of the Washington office. Under
the new arrangement a postal order for
s1OO or any amount, in fact, may be sent
from any part of Canada to any post Of
flee i'll our new possessions for exactly the
same rate We could send a similar order
from any point in the United States.

Local Bills in the Senate.
FAIR PROGRESS MADE.
Meeting of subcommittee of the
Joint High Commission.

The American and Canadian commission
ers held brief joint session TODAY follow
ed by meetings of the subcommittee on
the northeastern fisheries and on the ship
ment of goods in bond. Fair progress, it is
thought is being made on both these i'm
portant subjects. The fisheries problem is
particularly complicated, and made the
more so by many long standing disputes
growing out of the wide ramifications of
the subject. 1t is hoped by the commission
that this is one of the subjects on which
a mutually satisfactory agreement will be
reached before adjournment, as it will re-
move a serious source of friction between
Canada and the United States. The mat
ter is not yet finally adjusted. The same
is true of the Bering sea problem, though
no meeting of this committee has been
held for some days.
There will be a meeting tomorrow in
Washington of lumbermen from north
ern boundary state and Canada to
discuss the situation with a view
to suggesting the basis for a COM
promise, which will be acceptable to the
lumber interests of both countries. 1t is
probable that they will formulate a me-
mortal of some sort to lay before the joint
high commission. If the composition of
tive of the interests involved, its recon-
mendation will have weight with the joint
high commission.
1t can be safely stated despite contrary
reports, that the absence of eX-Secretary
Foster and Representative Dingley will not
seriously interfere with the conclusion of
the commissions work.

NAVAL GOVERNOR OF GUAM.

Burglars Make Good Haul at Ash
burnham This Morning.
HEAVY CHARGE OF DYNAMITE USED
Building Almost Completely Wreck
ed, as Well as the Vault.
NO CLUE TO PERPETRATORS

AsHBURNHAM, Mass, January 9.-The
safe of the First National Bank of Ash
burnham was blown to pieces by dynamite
about o'clock this morning. The interior
of the bank was badly wrecked and all
windows were blown out. A sum of money
estimated at from $1,000 to s., 900 is miss
ing. There is no clue to the robbers.
Deputy Sheriff William II. Richardson,
whose home is next to the bank building,
was awakened by the shock of a heavy
explosion, which made his house tremble
and made the windows rattle. Locating
the source of the explosion. he at once
gave the alarm, and thorough examina-
ton of the place was made
Bank on the Second Floor.
The bank is on the second floor of a two
story brick building. The street docr Of
the main entrance had been forced open
with jimmy, and similar process was
applied to the door of the bank upstairs.
The burglars evidently charged the iron
safe heavily with dynamitcSs for the safe
had been blown to pieces. Two of it's
doors We're found half way across the
room and a bar of iron had been blown
through a window and nearly across the
street. All the windows in the place were
demolished and the furniture was badly
splintered. A large quantity of notes and
drafts and about 500 in money were found
scattered about the floor
CASHIER Sawyer, who arrived at the build
ing early, at once began an examination Of
his books and valuables. Owing to the
complete wreck of the safe his task was
a difficult one, but carly today he made an
estimate that the robbers had taken at
least $1.5oo and perhaps the punder might
amount TO s2,o9o.
The loss to the building will probably
amount to zoo
1t is not believed that any large quantity
OF notes or drafts was taken.
Looks Like Work of Amateurs.
The general appearance of the place in
dicated that the burglars had worked reck-
lessly, and from the havoc created it is
judged that the burglars knowledge of
safe blowing was limited. The authorities
have in mind the work done recently by
burglars at the Bethel, Me-, savings bank,
the Wrentham National Bank, the Phoenix
National Bank of Phoenix, r. l. and a
Vermont bank within the past few months,
although there is nothing in the line of
positive evidence to show that all these
banks were visited by the same men.
