their rooms. Ten of the stoutest Of
hcers Of the Montreal police stood
guard over the prisoners. and when At
tOrney Tachereau, the prisoners coun-
sci, tried to get through their line he
met anything but polite treatment. The
clash came about over q runor that the
prisoners friends had plan to rescue
them. 1t was necessary to get the pris-
Oners out of the hotel, and so Judge
La FOntaine was sent for and told
them that an important point was to
be argued. Followed by a dozen law
yers, the judge went to the corridor and
within fifty feet Of the rooms occupied
by Gaynor and Greene he opened court
Lawyers of the defense declared they
knew Of a plot on the part Of the
United States authorities to kidnap the
men at night and hustle them out Of
the country in the same way they had
brought them from Quebec to Mon
treal. Mr.. Tachereau demanded that
his clients be at once removed to the
common jail where they could be safe
" locked I'D. Crown Prosecutor Lem
ieuleux had no objection, but Senator
Dandurand acting for the United
States, denounced the statement Of a
plot as a falsehood. It was zen de-
clared, amid great excitement tnat the
reverse was the case ana the excuse OF
placing the prisoners in jail simply
meant that as soon as the men were
out Of the door Of the hotel, hired men,
hiding near by, would spring upon the
party and drive them TO a safe place.
Judge La Fontaine said he would go
in and see the prisoners, but Inspector
Mcmahon showed him back, and,
backed up by the other nine men,
shouted defiance to judge or lawyer
who dared to try to get into the room.
Some Of the lawyers decided to see
the attorney general. who is in the
city and point out to him that no one
had a right to maintain a private pris-
on. Others followed them and the po-
lice cleared the corridors.
1t was decided by the officials that
keeping the fugitives incommunicado at
the hotel was illegal, and the men were
remanded to Jail. As soon as they were
in their cells they were brought out
again on writs Of habeas corpus and
taken to Quebec, as told in the fore
going.

M nor and Captain Greene have
won the first skirmish in the
fight against extradition to the United
States, and tonight the two men are
in Quebec, where they believe proceed
ings to force them TO return to the
United States to answer the charge Of
defrauding the United States govern
ment can be successfully fought.
Tonight at L o'clock a special train
from Quebec arrived on the Canadian
Pacific with High Constable Gale and
assistants, armed with a writ Of ha-
beas corpus
They got into a cab and drove to the
Montreal jail. to which institution
Gaynor and Greene had been commit
ted by Judge La Fontaine during the
afternoon.
Apparently, Governor Valee and his
guests awaited their coming, for in a
short time Gale appeared, accompanied
by Governor Valee and Messrs. Gaynor
and Greene.
A quick drive was made to the Place
Viger station, and an hour after the
arrival Of the special train it departed
with the IugtILNeS IRON the AtnsdlCei
courts on board Half an hour later
the regular train for Quebec departed,
having on board Donald McMaster and
Chief Carpenter.
They went to answer the writ Of ha-
beas corpus served on Carpenter.
Incidentally, Mr.. McMaster will use
all his efforts to see that Governor
Valee returns his prisoners to the Mon
treaI Jail The question as to whether
he shall do so or not depends entirely
upon the legality Of the arrest. The
case will come up in Quebec tomorrow.

Expedition TO Martinique Deferred
From Landing Neal, st. Pierre.
Fort de France. Martinique. May 10
Acting Governor L'Huerre and the
other insular authorities and the COM
mittee of doctors, who embarked on
the French cruiser Suchet; proceeded
on that ship to St. Pierre to determine
whether there was danger in permit
ting the examination Of the ruins to
continue, insomUch as a large number
Of the corpses buried there are in a
state Of putrefaction.
As the authorities were about to de-
bark at st. Pierre a large quantity Of
lava flowed into the river Blanche,
and this, accompanied by an enormous
cloud Of smoke, made il appear doubt
full whether it would be possible to ex-
anime st. Pierre. because Of the dan
ger of being lost in the ruins. The
party did not land and the Suchet
steamed to the north.
In the direction Of lie Prechur the
appearance of the volcano was not so
terrific. The ground at lie Prechur is
covered with a thick layer of cinders.
and the limbs of the trees are weighted
down with them.
After the cruiser passed Cape St.
Marie the cinders on shore were seen
to be less thick. and gradually de-
creased as the vessel approached Basse
Point Here the Suchet anchored and
a small boat came out from the shore,
bearing persons who asked for food.
Thirty EIGHT barrels Of biscuits and
hogs were distributed. There are 500
inhabitants at Basse Point, and a num-

leaving all their property behind. The
river at Basse Point is filed with mud,
which appears to be congesting. The
bridge has been destroyed. The river
water has ceased to flow, but cattle get
water from the springs in the neighbor-
hood.
There are several very fine sugar
cane estates in the vicinity Of Basse
Point Several women with their chill
dren and baggage embarked on the
Suchet there and the cruiser returned
to st. Pierre. The return trip was
quite difficult as the coasts were at
times hidden from view.
The temperature was 291 degrees
cenugrade. Upon reaching st. Pierre
the second time the government au-
/ thoriues landed. There was a strong
odor of burt flesh in the town and flies
were beginning to COngregate in great
numbers.
Difficulty is had in burning the
bodies. The committee Of doctors ex-
aiming the ruins declared that in
some parts of the town it would be i'm
[ possible to let the work of excavation
continue.
Access to st. Pierre is difficult today.

A gentleman entered an Augusta
barber shop. the other day, for the pur-
pose of securing a shave. He was an
affable. agreeable sort of man, a
stranger in the city, and the tOnsOfial
artists were all attention. There was a
lull in business when he came into the
shop and the BARRIERS lined up in front
of their chairs and waited for him to
select the workman he desired to
shave him. This he did and the bar
Der began the job. He scraped away
upon the mans face with politest care
and finally finished the work. The man
paid for the shave and then startled
the artist by saying, That must have
been a good razor you shaved me with
How much is it WORTH" The barber
saw visions of wealth looming before
him. THAT razor. SIR" said he in the
most bland and childlike manner, sis a
fine one. and is worth $3.50 OF any
mans money" Yes" persisted the
man. but what will you take for it?'.
The barber hesitated. We'll, now, l
need the money pretty badly. and you
can have it for just n two dollar Dill
The gentleman paid the money ana
took the razor. Then he went to the
window, raised it and slung the razo"
far out into the Kennebec river. The
barber was astounded and he family
casped: What did you do that for?!'
The man was mad at this and he
turned around and said. THAT razor
was mine and 1 had a right to throw
II away. I don't propose to have II
hack another mans face as mine has
lust been hacked with it.

John Merrill of Orono, an inmate OF
the Soldiers Home at Togus. claims to
have invented a lever motor power IN
which the dead center" is overcome
and the power generated by any
source, such as hand. steam, electricity
or water, is greatly multiplied. In all
estimates of the causes which are liable
to produce loss of the impelling power
the dead center" has always peen
taken into account. The use of a crank
in machinery is to convert an alternat-
ing straight motion into continuous
revolution: but there are two positions
in a crank in which the connecting roo
exercises no power whatever-Wheh
the arm of the crank is parallel TO the
rod. and again when the
crank is at the opposite point of IT'S
course. These two positions are caiiec
dead centers." and to invent a ma
chine wherein these dead centers ane
consequent loss of power should DC
done away with has been a dream OF
inventors for many a long year. MI
Merrill believes he has surmOunted INV
difficulty and with his machine Is en-,
ahIed to annihilate the dead center.
