RUSSIA AND PERSIA.
DOUBT IN OFFICIAL CIRCLES IL BERLIN
OF NEGOTIATION OF TREATY

Berlin. Dec. 1.-THE news Of a Russo-Persian
treaty is received with considerable DOUBT IN
official circles here. Such a convention would
be quite inconsistent with the eisting treaties
between Persia and other countries. and espe-
ciallv with one made between Germany and
Persia in 1871 which requires years to de-
nc-.nce.
The "Lolai Anzeiger'' accepts the reported
treaty as fact of the first importance TO the
diplomatic world. and considers Persia to be
to-day economically q province Of Russia and
that its political dependence upon Russia is a
certain consequence Inc paper says -
Britain is the only sufferer. and that Russia Is
now within measurable reach Of footing in The
Indian Ocean.

MARCONI HOPES TO SETTLE,

TROUBLE WITH CABLE COMPANY,

CASE OF FAILURE TO AGREE. INVENTOR

s.. Johns. \. F, Dec. 1.-THE Marconi Wire
,see Telegraphy Company Of London and the
.nClo-American Telegraph COMPANY. also of
,ondon have opened negotiations for the settle
n,ent Of the difficulty between them arising from
Nr Marconi's work here. In the mean time. as
n is important that MaTconi's operations be ex-
,edited he will cease his experiments here and
will leave next Sunday for Nova Scotia where
IN the event of the failure of the present
negotiations, he Will select another site for
wireless telegraph station The inventors work
IN Nova Scotia will occupy him about a week
He will then leave there for London via Hall
fax
Marconi expects that the negotiations between
the two companies viii be satisfactorily termi-
mated before he reaches England. In this case
he will make his preparations for the erection
Of a wireless telegraph station either at St.
Johns or Canso. Nova Scotia. If Nova Scotia
is selected the station there will probably be
erected next spring
The local press criticses the action of the
anglo-Americaa company and expresses its re-
Eret al such proceedings. which, it says. are
likely 10 jeopardze the chance of the colony
secure wireless telegraph station.
There is a widespread and growing feeling Of
Indignation here over the Anglo-American COM
pany's attempt to stop Marconi. The view taken
by the public is that the company. seeing that
only TWO years of its monopoly remain should
not prevent the colony from enjoying the bene-
fits Of the new invention, especially as il may
take that period to perfect the Marconi system
The Anglo-Arerican company's position is SAID
10 be that it is taking action to protect its legal
rights. It offered objection while the Mar
conf experiments applied merely to reducing the
number of wrecks saving life at sea. or assist
ing in navigation by making ocean signalling
possible. But when the experiments assumed
the form Of q competitive commercial enter
prise, the company felt it was justified in pro-
tecting itself
Marconi was visited officially at Signal Hill
to-day by Governor Boyle, Premier Bond and
the Executive Council The government Off
Gals. before visiting Marconi, had 10 consider
the protest against their going. made by the
superintendent Of the Anglo-Amerfcan com
parry. who contended that the government

to popular anger at their lax enforce ment. MT. Pearson was regularly noIn- mated by the prohibitionists, and in dorsement of his candidacy was nar- rowly prevented in the democratic con vention. At the polls the temperance democrats and republicans rallied to his support, but his election was sur prise tc all parties. He is the first pro hibition party sheriff to be elected in the United States, so far as is known.
 He is man of strong individuality He is q reformed drunkard, and in his early days reached a level of degrada- tion from which since his conversion to abstinence he has done much to res cue others. He was probably the first man in Maine tovote the straight pro- hibition ticket. He voted it, indeed, if it be not paradoxical to say so, before there was a prohibition ticket in the field. by writing Neal Dow's name on 8 slip of paper. One of the election off cers held it up and said: ''This is Sam Pearson's vote; we'll count it scatter ing" And young Pearson answered with spirit: "Well scatter it till the rum shops of Maine are c1osed.''
 Mr. Pearson served with distinction in the civil war. After the war he came to Portland. In 1872 he began his Cos pei mission work, and since that date he has held S.229 services. conducted 35. funerals and 229 marriage ceremonies and, with Mrs. Pearson, has made 15,347 visits to the poor. Tn England he se- cured over 100000 pledges to temper ance He is an indefatigable worker anda man of tremendous energy. What he will do now with the power of the sheriff's office at his back is awaited with interest, and with trepidation by not a few.

4 PREACHER-SHERIFF.
Cumberland County, Me-, Has Thts Unique Combina ation in Rev.
 Samuel r. Pearson,

A minister Of the Gospel who is at the same time sheriff is q good deal of q novelty even in these days of political novelties. But Rev. Samuel F. Pearson, sheriff of Cumberland county, Maine. is marked man because of other and more important considera lions, for his election by one Of the most phenomenal political landslides in the history of the state may have some far-reaching re- suits. It is hailed by the prohibition ists as the beginning of q movement for a more rigorous enforcement of the prohibitory liquor laws of the state, and Mir. Pearson's victory is attributed
