the Bangor News.

From the Bangor NeWS
 Best informed authorities on the situa- ton in Maine sardines state that the total 1906 pack to date Is between 100000 and 500 GOO cases short of the total number to this date last year. A. s. Treat, the travelling representative of a canning com pany. who passed through Bangor Mon day after a two weeks trip to Passport and other packing centers. said;
 "The sixty odd factories in Maine are not getting enough fish to keep one fac tory busy. The packers. however, are putting up a better class of goods thaa usual. The oil sardines are very fat, but the fish run large. counting four to eight fish to the can. The fish seem larger this year than usual Most of the fish now coming in are being packed in key open ing cans.
 "A consensus of opinion among the fish. ermen and ca nners Is that if they do not get fish by August 20 the prospects for a pack this year will be extremely poor. It is estimated SO far that the pack is more than 100000 cases short of the catch to this date last year. Some of the fish ermen say that so long as the dogflsh stay on the coast there will be a pack of sardines or lnackerel The dogfish eat the sardine herring The fishermen say that the dogfish are thicker this year than formerly"

Official informal

Washington, Auguse 16.-'fhe following dispatch was received by General Aims worth the military secretary, from Ma jor Penrose, commanding the battalion of the Twenty-ffth infantry, negro troops, stationed at Fort Brown, Tex, and gives the first official information regarding the disturbance at Brownsville, which was alleged to have been caused by the pres enf of negro soldiers. Major Penrose was not in possession of all the facts when he sent the dispatch which follows:
 Referring 10 your telegram of yester- day a shooting occurred in Brownsville about l2:1O morning of 14th, in which one civilian was killed and the chief of police wounded in right arm. which had 10 sbe amputated. Believe shooting was done by enlisted men of this post. but have not a s yet been able to detect guilty party. Am conducting most thorough in- Vestigation possible and working in per feet harmony with citizens committee and mayor of Brownsville. Guard of one third of garrison, one company constant ly on duty; all enlisted men confined strictly to post and no one allowed to enter but mayor, members Of citizens committee and those having official busi- ness Conditions well in hand by both mayor and myself No trouble since shoot ing and anticipate none. These facts re- ported to department commander by wire and mail.'
 It is stated at the war department that no new policy has been inaugurated in the matter of sending negro troops to va rIous military posts in Texas. In fact. kt is said more negro troops have been sta toned In Texas than In any other state and no complaints have arisen heretofore Nor has the race issue ever been raised so far as known at the department. Both the negro cavalry and infantry have often been stationed along the Rio Grande from the gulf to the western border.

TWO MEN ARRESTED.
Are Charged With Murder of George
 Shumate at Coalburg.

On warrant sworn out by Coroner Parish. John Miller and Tite Parvin. both of coalburg, were arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff ]. P Brents and locked up in the county jail charged with the murder of George Shumate on July 29 last.
 About 10 o'clock that night Shumate was found on the Five Mile creek bridge unconscious and bleeding from five gun shot wounds Henry Ragland and Bay Rochester, two young men of the com munty. who first saw the wounded man. reported the case to the police here. Shu- mate was brought 10 Birmingham the next day and placed in St. Vncent's hos pital, where he died several days later and Henry Ragland and Bay Rochester who, it was thought. knew more about the murder than they were wiling to ad- init were arrested and lodged in jail After a few days for lack of proof against them they were released.
 Although Coroner Paris has believed that he would ultimately find the guilty persons. there has been so much mystery about the whole affair that 1t was only few days ago that he got hold of what he regards the right clue
 The day of the murder there was a general row in the neighborhood of up- per Coalburg about a girl and a wedding in which, Shumate seems to' have taken the part of peaeemaker.
 It was on his way from the scene of the trouble to d friends home in Coal burg that he was shot. In view of the fact that he was not participant in the row It was thought he was shot through mistaken identity
