ACTION NOT FINAL.
Colonial premiers' Decision Must Be
Ratified By Leaisisturss.

London, Aug. 12.-While, the results
of the colonial conference. which end
ed. yesterday. are generally considered
satisfactory as far as they go. it must
be understood that their enforcement
depends ultimately upon action by the
colonial legislatures and by the i'm
peral ministers whose departments
they concern. In addition to the Aus
tralasian naval arrangements by which
the Australasian contributions are to
be largely increased on condition that
certain vessels be Differed and manned
entirely by Australasians, no general
increase in colonial naval subsidies was
agreed to-
The preferential tariff arrangement
is in a nebulous condition, depending
entirely on future arrangements be
tween the mother country and each in
dividual colony. the understanding be-
ing that such arrangement would fol-
low the general lines of the Canadian
tariff. The foregoing arrangements do
not represent the unanimous opinion of
the conference, but each resolution wa;
adopted by a majority vote.

THE VERMONT CAMPAIGN.
The Clement Mccullough Fight |
Rather Warm at Barre.

Barre. VT, Aug. 12.-Barre seems to be
the center of the political agitation ii,
the state between the Clement and Nc
Cullough factions. There are two Repub
lican committees here, each claiming to be
the legal one. One was elected last June
at a regular caucus by owed 800 Republi
cans, and when elected was supposed to
didates for governor, Mccullough, Proc
tor and Clement
About two weeks afterward it was
found that five of the seven members ia
vored Clement and they called another
caucus and resigned but the caucus re
fused to accept their resignation. On
Aug. =, the Mccullough people got to
gether and elected Il committee of seven
winch was called the regular Republican
city committee.
The Republican state committee and the
county committee, yesterday. met the city
and town committees of this county in
Montpelier. They refused to recognize
the city committee elected last June but
instead recognized the one chosen, Aug
2. as the regular Republican city commit
tee of Barre. When the latter committee
was elected, two of its members belonged
TO the other committee and both have de
clned to serve. Their places have been
hlied and the committee now has seven
members all favorable to Mccullough.
New headquarters have been opened
here by the Mccullough and Clement men
and each faction will make a hot fight
to carry the county
Inc Mccullough men will hold caucus,
tomorrow night, to nominate candidates
for representatives: on Thursday night

At MOTHERS CELLAR GRAVE.
Bartholin Seen There, July 30, by Real
Estate Agent.

Chicago, Aug. 1Z.-An important de-
velOpment in the Bartholin Mitchell
murder mystery was made, Monday,
when it was discovered that VIII Bar
tholin had been surprised July 80, while
standing at the cellar grave of his muir
dered mother. by real estate agent.
Peter Van Vlissingen, who holds a
mortgage on Mrs. Batholin's home, sent
MS agent to the Calumet property to
appraise it, the afternoon of July 30.
The agent after unsuccessfully ringing
the front door bell repeatedly. went to
the rear of the house and looked
| through q basement window. There he
saw Barthoin standing in one corner
| looking at the floor, apparently alb
sorbed in thought He went to the door
and told the agent his mother was in
| Milwaukee and she would not return
for several days. Shortly after this
conversation he was seen to leave the
house and the same evening he called
| at Minnie Mitchells home. The couple
left together and the girl did not re-
| turn.
| Late developments, today. indicated
| that BarthOiin may have made a care
full survey of the field where Minnie
Mitchell's body and clothing were
found. William Waldrop told the po-
lice that, July 50, he met Bartholin at
| 18th and State streets within few feet
of the spot where the dead body of the
young mans fiancee was found. Wal
drop talked with Bartholin, whom he
knew personally. The La; ne saw Of
BaItholin was wnen the young man
boarded northbound street car. 1t
is supposed that the murder of Minnie
Mitchell took place the same night.
The police are using all their ingenu-
ity to force Oscar Thompson to give
additional information about the crime
or crimes. They have been working on
the theory that the Mitchell girl may
have been killed there and taken in
Thompson's laundry wagon to the lone
ly field. A test is to be made to prove
this theory. The horse is to be started
south and left to it's own instincts in
hopes that it will stop at 18th and State
streets.
At the inquest over the body Of the
elder woman. which was found, Satur-
day, crammed into a hole in the cement
floor Of the Bartholin house, neighbors
readily identified the corpse as that OF
Mrs. Batholin. The burial Mon6ay, of
Minnie Mitchell by her family removed
all doubt in the public mind that the
body found in the field at 74th and
State streets last week was that Of the
young woman who was last seen with
Bartholn.
The complete hearing over Mrs. Bar
tholin's body was postponed by the
coroner until Aug. q, in the hope that
additional clues to the murders may be
obtained.
1t developed, Monday, that Young
Barthclir had quacrelleG with hi,
mother just before she disappeared
over the question of bringing his pros
pective wife to live ut his mothers
home.

MED the petition of Adde r. Keller
for 4 temporary injunction against
Frederick Belts and others for the APP
pointment of Il receiver for the funds
which the latter is supposed to have

while l am satisfied from con

has been fraud of the greatest kind
you are asking in a court of equity for
relief by way of a temporary injunc-
ton, but it does not appear from this
bill just why the relief should be
granted.
