grandmother, and was brought home
from Portland, whittier he had gone, by
Sheriff Lang, but the relatives refused to
appear against him and he WAS released.
This affair, together with the fact that a
dangerous looking knife was carried up
on his person, was considered In de-
termining the length Of the sentence.
Officers Clifford and Weston had busy

who was known by his comrades as
freddie" was arrested but made his es
cape and has not been seen since. Judge
Bachelor imposed fine Of So and costs
In each case and, In default of payment,
all were committed to jail for thirty
days. subsequently, however, Reding-
ton paid his fine and costs and was dis
charged.
Philip Wilson, who had been arrested
by Clifford, on warrant sworn out by
Sheriff Lang, was also arragned, Tues
day morning, charged with single sale.
He plead guilty, was fined 500 and costs

Changes at the Commonwealth

Changes which mark an era In shoe
manufacturing in Skowhegan are being
made at the factory of the Common
wealth Shoe & Leather Co. and the re-
suit la likely to be increased production
and the employment of an increased
number of hands.
Ever since the beginning of the shoe
business here, In 1888, through all the
changes In proprietorship 1t has been a
Mckay factory, that is, the process
used In attaching the upper to the sole
was the Mckay method. This ia now to
be changed and the Goodyear is to be
given the preference hereafter. Some
Of the Mckay machinery is to be retail
ed for the present, as the company has
some trade on Mckay goods that must
be taken care of but half the output will
be made by the Goodyear process at
once and the proportion gradually in
creased until the Mckay is nearly or
quite eliminated.
shifting demands of trade. The Mckay
method has for many years produced
the best medium priced shoe but OF late
certain factors have come into the mat
ter which has made 1t possible to make
a Goodyear shoe and market it at about
the same price as the Mckay, aid, at the
same price, the Goodyear is the favorite
with the public.
Superintendent Stafford has been aware
of the trend toward the Goodyear so
that the change has been contemplated
for some time although nothing has been
said about it outside the offices OF the
company until very recently. 1t will
involve considerable new machinery and
a general Encouragement of the factory.

and the building will be finished within the year.
Another special feature of commencement will be
the report of the committees the 81 600 900
tennial endowment fund. This project has been
under way for year. and the prospects good
that even IL the full amount is not promised now,
II will be within short time. So many courses
of study and research have been recently added
that the present financial condition of the uni
versity is not sufficient to meet the demands OF the
increasing number of students
The baccalaureate sermon will be preached to-
by the president OF the university. Mon
day will be class day. Tuesday alumni day. and

BALFOUR TO REMAIN.
HIS Party Strengthened By Liberal
Discussions.
(By The Associated Press.)

London, July 2.-It was nine years ago to-day
thet the Conservatives entered on their long
tease OF Office. Lord Salisbury became Prime
Minister for the third and last time July 2. 1895
Lord Halsbury the Lord High Chancellor and
LORD Ashbourne. the Lord High Chancellor of
ireland. are the only two Ministers who hold
the same posts as they did then.
IN spite Of inCessant attacks on the govern
ment In Parliament in the last weeks and the
difficulty of maintaining anything like normal
maJorities. there is reason to believe that
Premier Balfour has any present intention of
rendering his resignation have the Liberal
leaders at this moment any real desire to at
tempt to force him to take this STEP Mr. Bal
TOUR recognizes that 1t is not in accord with
strict parliamentary principles TO transact the
nations business by of the closure. as
ne proposes doing for the remainder of the SEES
Sion The Premier pointed out in the House of
Commons yesterday. however, that In view of
lhe persistent obstruction tactics of the Oppo-
sitlon to all the governments main legislation,
there was no other course open to him.
Mr.. Balfour desires to remain IN power at
least until important pending questions set
tIed, such as Tibet and the Russo Japanese
war, and he also is determined to carry through
the larger domestic legislation promised in the
hlnB S speech. for instance, the Alien bill and
the bill to compensate owners of saloons for
deprivation OF their licenses when the govern
ment reduces the number of such houses. The
government is not seeking to curtail the ses-
sion OF Parliament and does not expect ad-
journment until late in August.
The attitude Of the Liberal leaders in the
house OF Commons in desiring the retention of
Mr. Balfour In power grows out of their opposi-
ton TO Lord Spencer, the Liberal leader in the
House of Lords, who in the government
resigns. would naturally be selected to be the
new Premier. Moreover they do not wish at
the present time to undertake the mana cement
or some of the questions now pending.

terial can be delivered. The pavement in Liberty
st. has already been torn up.
The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has been
trying TO get this permission since the trolley
crossed the bridge. Now. IN returning to
Brooklyn. they have to turn sharply to the right in
coming on tho bridge. and to Fulton-st

FRANCE MORE STABLE.
Delcass6's Sirth Anniversary of Ser
Uice Is Significant.

Paris. July 2-M. Delcasse the Foreign Min
lister. to-day passed the sixth anniversary of
his continuous service Minister for Foreign
Affairs The event notable. as he is the
first French Foreign Minister to attain that
length Of service The anniversary would have
passed unnotced had not Ambassador Porter
called 1t to NJ. Delcasses attention. The date
wildly fixed on the Amba ssador's memory
as 1t marked the beginning of the efforts of NJ
Delcasse and himself to combat adverse French
sentiment growing out OF the Spanish-American
War.
NJ. Delcasses lengthy service is significant of
the growing stability OF French ministries.
Heretofore the constant changes were recog-
nized serious defects IN the French system
they prevented continuity OF governmental
policy. From 1870 until NJ Waldeck- Rousseau
formed Cabinet there were twenty-eight
French Cabinets. NJ. de Freycinet had continu-
Gus service through four years. covering five
ministries. NJ Cookery still holds the record
for service--namely, seven years-as Minister OF
Posts and Telegraphs, but NJ. Delcasse Is the
first Foreign Minister having long tenure.
France in this matter is taking pattern
from the stability OF Russia's foreign system.
in which there only three Foreign Minis
tiers between 1913 and 1S95-namely, Nessel-
rode, GortchakofT and De Giers. NJ. Delcasse' 8
service has established continuity of French
foreign policy and has been marked by many
notable successes. His hold now is so strong
that the retirement OF Premier Combes would
probably leave VI. Delcasse the Foreign Minis
ter Of Cabinet.
