STANDS BY MARCONI.
Newfoundland Will Back While
Experimenting.

st. Johns, N. F., Dec. 1S.-Marconi is
today awaiting a cable message from
Londo announcing the result of the
negotiations between his agents and the
Anglo-American Cable The
inventor fears the latter will insist that
he must not engage in commercial bus
mess here until after the expiration of
the company's monopoly. Marconi is
not disposed to agree to such a condi-
ton. believing he can perfect the means
for signalling between Cornwall and
Nova Scotia within a few months. He
has now practically decided to visit
Nova Scotia on Sunday but this does
not necessarily mean that he will aban-
don Newfoundland on account of the
Angio-Anferfcan
Superintendent Mackey, manager of
the Anglo-American company in this
colony denies that he protested to Gov
ernor Q yesterday to the latter Wis
iting the Marconi station. Mr.. Mackey
admits calling upon the governor, but
says the call was a purely social one,
and that as to Marconi's affairs, nothing
in the nature of a protest transpired.
1t is certain however that the cabinet
met yesterday forenoon, prior to visit
ing Signal hill and discussed whether to
go there ur not. The premier. Sir Rob-
ert Bond, says the government decided
to support Marconi while his work is
experimental, on the ground that its
scientific value should be ascertained
in the interest of the whole world, with
out taking sides in the controversy.

DIR. is OUT.
New Turn Taken in National Aid
Trouble.

There has been a new turn in the Ma
tional Aid association tangle. DR.. e.
G. Spinney. who was elected president
of the National Aid by its old board of
directors when it was proposed to on
solidate the National Aid with the
Bankers Union, yesterday resigned
and the affairs of the order were placed
in the hands of w. f. Porter, chairman
OF the board of directors.
This change was brought about by
the failure of all of the subordinate
lodges of the National Aid to ratify the
proposed contract made between the
officers of the order and DR.. Spinney as
president of the Bankers Union, where
by the latter agreed to pay all of the
liabilities of the National Aid, aggre-
eating about $50, 900, in consideration of
the consolidation of the two orders. A
number of claims against the National
Aid have been presented to DIR. Spinney
for payment, but he has refused to pay
them except in proportion to the mem
bership of the National Aid which has
gone into the Union.
E. d. McKeever, who represents a
large number of the creditors of the
National Aid, stated recently that the
best and most honorable procedure I'M
der the circumstances would be the APP
pointment of a receiver to wind up the
affairs of the National Aid, and this is
the plan which will now be followed.
Steps will be taken at once to secure a
receiver, after which DR.. Spinney offers
to pay the receiver three dollars a head
for every m of the National Aid
who goes into the Bankers Union
This will doubtless go a long way
towards liquidating the claims against
the National Aid.
This arrangement has been presented
to W. V. Church, state superintendent
of insurance, and has received his APP
provaI
Mr.. McKeever says that several other
orders are willing to pay more than
three dollars a head for the members
they get from the National Aid, and as
all the members will probably go to
some order, it is quite likely that
receiver to liquidate all of the claims.
No arrangements have yet been made
for the receivership, but it is probable
that they will be shortly.
