Frsnchmau, M. Paul HONS shrugged for
the supremacy in roped ring in Madi-

have gone on for another hour, but the

not allow the bout to 20 on after mid
night, stopped the match In most I'M
satisfactory stage at midnight.
Rons held the upper hand at nearly ey'
cry stsge OF the contest, but he lacked the
cleyerness OF the smaller man who was
never caught unswares at any moment
and Roeber though by many years the
older and In stature far inferior than

afternoon by the steamer Astoria. re-
ported that the ship Astral was unable
to get under way OFF the bar owing to
her anchor being foul. Her crew it was
reported, refused to weigh anchor with

be impossible to hold the ship up in The

fsrEcIAL ro LIE PREss.l

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l
Augusta, February 6-Hanno M.Gage,
Esq OF Portland, before the committee
on legal affairs this afternoon, present
ed the case OF the Madison Falls Power
company. Mr.. Gage explained that a new
draft of the bill provided that the lines
of the company should not extend into
the elites OF Portland and South Port
land and that the lines should not be
erected on private land within 100 feet
of building without the consent OF the
owner thereon.
MIR. Gage said that 1t became necessary
sometime ago for the Haskell silk mill
to obtain power, and the Dana warp mill
having bought the old wooden mill, need
ed more power. The parties found a tine
power at Madison Falls and the lsgisla-
ture not being Ia session, power COM
pany Was formed under the general law,
but under the law OF 1896 the company
could not 40 into towns already occu
pied by similar companies, The men,
bers of the company as co-partneIs could
supply power TO the mills, but 1t Is
found that they have abundant power
to supply other plants and so thsy want
the powers asked for IN the bill. AT
present the corporation has only the
power to hold the property. The electric
power Is distributed by oo-partner-
ship. 1t is necessary In order to carry
out the project in business-like way,
to have an organization which would

The company wants to take stock In
ether corporations, q thing which has
been granted times without number to
other companies. Next Is the transmib-
sion and sale of electricity. Here the
company expected TO meet opposition
under the law OF 1875. Now its members
could furnish power "a individuals and
the complny believed 1t should have the
right to furnish the power As corpora
tlon. In doing this, the company offers
no new competition TO existing oompa-
MES because It can already compete with
them through It's members acting as in
dividuals In Westbrook, the s, ID. War
rem company Is now furnishing electric
power as individuals. The only thing
the company would gain by incorpora-
tion, It can accomplish now. There
is no question but as individuals we
can furnish electric light anu power
anywhere in the state. The policy OF ths
state has been to permit corporations.
Large enterprises cannot be successfully
conducted by a oo-partnershiD.
MIR. Gage then took up the provision
OF the bill which gives to the company
the right OF eminent domain in private
land for the purpose Of maintaining a
pole lire. There are many corporations
In Maine which have much greater POW
ers in this direction. When you run a
pole line over private land by purchase.
you are apt to get squeezed as we did.
After you have bought land of 45 people
out OF so, the other i've are likely to put
high prsce on their property.

the committee, saying that he appeared

and It's allied concerns. 1hess compa.

Washington, February 6-Heresofore
the talk OF an extra session OF Congress
has been regarded as largely msnufac-
tnred in order to hreak down the opposi-
ton to the ship subsidy bill. But II
seems now as though the intImations OF
an extra session come from the White
House, ana with more authority. The
evening Star this evening prints the fol-
lowing significant article;
"If action with reference to Cuba and
the Philippines, the construction of the
Nicaragua canal and measures for the
development of commerce isc delayed
until next winter, close upon the next

Irritating questions were disposed OF
earlier and the public mind given time to
settle down TO an understanding and ac-
ceptAnce of accomplished designs 1t Is
suggested, too that by inviting Congress
to share the responsibility for the action
that is to be taken instead OF relying
entirely upon executive authority, the
President will diEarm criticism of the
sort that was common during the late
presidential campaign. Some OF the lead
ing men in Congress are credited with
a disposition to shrink from their share
In the responsibility for the settlement of
the pending questions, especially with
reference TO Cuba, preferring to shoulder
1t all upon the President, whom they
would be ready enough to put the blame

Heed, for instance, or some other such
man were q candidate before the oonven-
tion his candidacy would probably be
predicated upon disaDproyal OF some
feature of the policy under the MsKinly

who feel uncertain what the future may

untried questions upon the President,
remaining themselves in an attitude
which will admit OF their being foremost
in assooiating themselves with the sue

II mistakes are made and public senti-

play part in the disinciination In
Congress to share responsibility with the

"None who opposed the calling to-
gether of Congress venture the deoIara-
ton that delay OF action is desirable. and
some who are most opposed to an extra
