ment Of their mines. The interest is
general and specimens of ore are pour

A CLERICAL ERROR
Causes Sheriff Pearson His
First Bit of Trouble.
Attempts An Arrest Without Warrant
and Counsel Advises Resistance.
Scuiile Ensucs in Court Room and Man Now
Threatens Suit.

Portland, Me. Jan. 11.-Daniel ]. Des-
mond, who had been arrested on the
charge Of pocket peddling by Sheriff
Parsons liquor deputies and held by
the municipal court. was, this after
noon, discharged by Justice Strout, on
account of a technical error in the COM
mitment papers, which charged that
Desmond maintained nuisance be
tween Dec. "a. 1901. and Jan. 4, 1901
The first 1901 was of course a cleri-
cal error.
As Desmond was leaving the court
Sheriff Plummer asked the county at
torney if he could be arrested again
The county attorney said that he could
but without waiting to learn how, the
officer started after his man. He was
followed by Deputy Skillings.
Plummer took hold of Desmond. His
counsel. Mr.. Comedian, asked the Off
Ger if he had a warrant. He said he
did not but was going to hold Des-
mond until he got one. At this Mr.
Comedian advised Desmond to resist
arrest. The mans friends crowded
around him, and Deputy Skillings got
into the crowd and attempted to as
sist his fellow officer.
For few minutes there was a scufIle
in the court room which threatened to
develop into q riot. County Attorney
Whitehouse, however, quieted matters
by directing Plummer to release Des-
mOnd.
Mr. Comedian says that he shall
bring suit against Sheriff Plummer for
$4,000 for assault and battery and false
arrest.

RUSSIA DENIES BAD FAITH.
Claims to Have Kept Agreement -Chun Calls
on German Minister.

Pekin, Jan. I'm. De Giers, the Rus
sian minister to China, denies the cur
rent report that Russia is endeavoring
to make special agreement with China
irrespective of the other powers.
Had this been the case" he said, to-
day, lit would not have signed the
joint note, although probably so far as
Manchuria is concerned, Russia and
China will make special arrangements
which will not conflict with any trea-
ties or agreements made by Russia and
the other joint powers.
Il do not believe that Russia has any
intention Of keeping Manchuria. In
deed she is placing all the Chinese Off
Gals possible in office. Probably, how
ever, it will be necessary to guard the
railroad for an indefinite period. / do
not believe that there are 100000 Rus
sian soldiers in Manchuria.'
With reference to the claim made by
some Of the other ENJOYS, NJ. DeGiers
was very positive in saying that Rus
STA had not violated her word in taking
a concession at Tien Tsin.
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang are
still awaiting instructions from the
court regarding the agreement. Both
claim that it is practically certain the
orders will be favorable, enabling them
to sign Immediately.
Prince Ching says proof of the
courts intention to order the affixing
of signatures is to be found in the fact
that Prince Chun has been designated
to go to Berlin to express China's re-
greet for the murder of Baron Won Ket-
teller
