The first two weeks of deer hunting in
Maine show total of 224 deer killed in
the region north and east of Bangor.
The number killed last year in the same
time was 44s. This is accounted for by
the poor hunting conditions, the dryness
Of the woods making still hunting al
most impossible. Now, however, a
heavy rain has fallen, drenchng the
entire State and it is expected that for
the remainder of the season the record
will be at least up to past records.

Decision of Law Court.

In the Case George n. Page, Trustee, In
Equity VS. Abner Paul marston ct ais.
The supreme court has recently hand
ed down an opinion in the Page-Marston
case which involves something like
$4,000 The rescript was drawn by
Judge Whitehouse.
The will of the late Abner Coburn
gave a certain share of his estate to
AlonZo G. Marston to be held in trust by
him for his son, Abner Paul Narston.
Aionzo G. Marston declined to accept the
trust and George N. Page was appointed
trustee. Abner Paul Marston became of
age, Oct. 4, 1899, and the plaintiff asked
for decree of the court as to whether
the trust ended there or continued after
wards.
1t appeared that young Marston be-
fore reaching his msjority made three
assignments of his share to four different
parties to several loans aggregating
500, $50 and they also made answers to
the bill in equity of Page. 1t also APP
peared that in January, 1900, Alonzo c.
and Abner Paul Marston made a Joint
conveyance of the entire porperty to
George H. Collins as trustee.
The defendants all contested that the
trust ended at Abner Paul's majority
and the court in its rescript by Judge
Whitehouse so holds and after reviewing
the case at some length, Judge White
house concludes the decree as follows:
"a decree is therefore to be entered
that the bill be sustained that the plain
tiff be authorized and directed to present
to this court held by single Justice, an
itemized account of all his receipts and
expenditures and charges for compen-
sation as trustee of Abner Paul Marston,
with full statement of all his doings in
the administration of that trust, that
the same may be examined either by
such justice or by master to be APP.
pointed for that purpose, with a view to
the final settlement and confirmation of
the same; that when such accounts shall
have been approved and allowed and all
the dOings, contracts and conveyances
of the plaintiff as such trustee, shall
have been confirmed by the court, upon
the execution and delivery to the plain
tiff of sufficient release, signed by
Abner Paul Marston and George II.
Collins of all claims against him as
trustee and discharging him from all
further liability on account of such
trust, the plaintiff shall convey, transfer
and deliver to George Fl. Collins, the
grantee and trustee hereinbefore named
of Alonzo G. and Abner Paul Marston,
all of the property and fund belonging
to this trust, remaining in his hands and
possession, and that thereupon the trust
be declared terminated and the plaintiff
discharged from all further RESPONSE
bility Hereunder, except for the exc
cution of deeds of conveyance of any
portion of the trust property which he
may have become bound to deliver by
virtue of contracts that shall have been
confirmed by the court"

Portland Press The American reply
to the French note may fairly be de-
scribed as non-committal on the most
important points. While it does not
actually dissent from any of the French
propositions, it assents to none OF them
unreservedly, except possibly the one
that suggests the guarding of the route
from Pekin to Tien Tsin so that the
powers may be able to send help to their
ambassadors in case of need. The atti-
tude of our government is practically
that all the suggestions of France and
the other powers should enter into the
negotiations, but none Of them be re.
garded as condition precedent for
beginning the negotiations. What our
government Is anxious to do is to get
negotiations started. Some of the other
governments appear anxious to retard
them, by surrounding them with impos.
sble conditions.

no opinion is expressed as 90 their ac-

the fac. that such extensive Increases
In railroad charges have been brought
about by the method described, must
be OF significant import and furnish
a weighty argument in favor of meas
ures which will be effective TO secure
compliance with the primary require
ments of the act"
These changes were made without
hearing and against protests OF shippers
and whatever may be the merits Of the
complaints the report urges that the law
ought to be so amended as to insure a
determination whether the rates are just
and reasonable and redress II they are
found unjust
Reference is made TO the several con-
ferences had vita high railway Officials
early in the year with view TO gaining
from each promise 10 maintain .hsir
published rates and to the good effect OF
these conferences In checking the rate
decentralization then prevailing. 1t IS
denied that the conferences ought to
secure agreements to maintain rates,
their only purpose being to secure good
faith in observance Of published tariffs.

unreasonable rate when the $500 terminal
