She half hesitated. Tom beside

kittcry. Me, Aug. G.-Frequent ref
erence to the place Of conference of the
peace commissioners as being in New
Hampshire rather than in Maine. has
led to thorough examination of the
official files at Washington relative to
the so-called Portsmouth navy yard"
1t appears that when Congress, about
1900, decided TO locate navy yard at
that point Oh the Atlantic coast it pro-
cured IS acres for the site, under the
Impression that the land was in New
Hampshire.
The navy yard was, therefore, Off
cially called the Portsmouth navy
yard" and has since been SO referred
to in all government documents.
\ few years after the name was Civ
on TO the yard doubts arose as to
whether the site of the place was in
New Hampshire or the State of Maine
and Il little investigation showed that
the land originally had been Il part OF
New Hampshire.
That POINT being settled the govern
meht at Washington promptly applied
to the State of Maine for the jurisdic-
the navy yard at Portsmouth. That
was i'll 1871. and few weeks later the
request was made and the Legislature
of the state of Maine granted the de-
sired ctSSion with the right, however
of serving processes and arrestinG
criminals III the navy yard.
Now, whenever there is a civil pro-
cess to BE- served and a criminal to be
arrested within the limitations of the
navy yard. il is Il sheriff from Maine

New Hampshire.
This has been the case for 81 years
