STAFFORD SPRINGS.

Dr. Whittemore of Middletown gave a strorg no license address to large congregation in the Gong regational church Sunday evening.
 Matthew O'Brien of Bridgeport will give an address in the interest of no license on Haymarket Square Sat urday evening, and Rev W. s. Mo- Intire of Rockville will speak at the same place on Sunday afternoon at To o'clock
 The registration is very heavy this fall, the license issue having spurred both sides to unusual efforts. There have been added 108 new names, of which 94 are in the second district and l 4 in the first. In the new reg istration it is thought that the license voters outnumber the others. It looks like very close contest, with the re- suit in doubt
 The republican probate convention for the Stafford and Union district will be held at the Springs House, Friday, Oct. 9th, at 10 a. m. Law yer R. H. Fisk is the only one we hear mentioned for the nomination. He is especially we'll qualified for the position, and if elected will probably appoint for clerk his father, Judge M. B. Fisk, who retires from the of fee of judge on account of the age limit.
 Principal F. F. Dunfield of the high school has resigned his position, to take effect in about three weeks. Mr. Dunfield has a more lucrative position offered at Worcester. where he will teach English in the South End high school. The principal has been here two years and has made many friends who will regret his de- parture, while congratulating him on lis promotion. He is an earnest and capable worker, and his interest in athletics has made him popular with the student body. His successor has not been selected.
 {Communicated.)
 Hon. Oliver W. Stewart addressed about seven hundred people in Hay market Square last Friday evening. He gave a forcefu1 address on the economics of the liquor problem. He drew a masterful picture of a new commonwe edith, which he asked his hearers to suppose they were about to form. Representatives of several trades and professions were heard in their own behalf in applying for cit izenship. The liquor dealer vas de- barred from mem bership because he could say nothing but "When you are strong, will make you weak; when death is far off, will draw it near" "- He promised to be an "unproduetive" and destructive' applicant for mem- bership.

 AGREEMENT Between United States

 - The Asreemept Binds Both Countries to Consult Each other and Act To- sether in Event of Conn
 plieatiOns.

Washington. Nov. 27.-DespIte of- fIcial reticence, information from re- liable sources has been oh htained of an agreement of far-reaching import ance between the United States and Ja- pan, covering the policy Of the two countries~in the Pacific.
 The agreement Is based upon the idea of encouraging and defending free and peaceful commercial development in the Pacific. It contains not only mutual guarantee to respect each oth- er's territorial possessions there, but defines the attitude of the two coun- tries toward China, binding each to defend by every peaceful means. Chi mas independence and integrity and to give equal commercial opportunity in the Chinese Empire 10 all nations. But more important stili,- the agreement in the event of complications, threatening the status quo, binds the United States and Japan to consult each other with a view to acting together.
 The agreement has been drawn up in the form of declaration and con- sists of five articles, ol which the fol- lowing is an accurate and faithful de- scription:
 The first article gives expression to the wish of the two Governments 10 encourage the free and peaceful de- veiopment of thsir commerce in the EdCkucs
 The second is a mutual disclaimer of an aggressive design and contains also a definition of the policy of each Gov ernment both as directed to the main tenance of the existing status quo in the Pacific and the defense of the prin- ciple of equal opportunity for com merce and industry in China.
 The third article contains a state- ment of the consequent firm" reel procal resolution of each Government to respect the territorial possession In the Pacific of the other.
 In the fourth article, the United States and Japan express their deter mination .'in the common interest of all the powers" to support .'by all peaceful means at tleir disposar' the independence and Integrity 0f China and the principle of equal commercial and industrial opportunity for all na- tons in the empire.
 The 6fth article mutually pledges the two Governments in the case of the occurrence of any event threat ening the status quo, as above describ- cd, or the principle of equal opportu- nity as above defined" to communicate with each other for the purpose of ar- ranging mutual understanding with regard to the measures they may con- sider 1t useful to take.

'EDMONDSON IS STILL MISSING Hunt for Morgan County
 Man. FAMILY. BURNED TO DEATH Believed That He, Too, Lost His
 Lite. Mystery of woodland Kills Not Clear cd. And Several Theorses Are Advaneed--An Accident
 Or Murder.

Decatur, Nov, 27-(Special)--All day officers have been searching this portion of the state for Tom Edmond son. who is believed by them to have set fire to his home near Woodland mills this county Wednesday night after niurdering his wife, his mother and three small children. No in- formation as to his whereabouts have been learned by the officers.
 Tonight ex-County Tax Collector Josh Wallen, who resides near the scene of the murder said that n re- liable man had told him that he had found in the ashes of the ruined home jaw bone and some of the teeth of Tom Edmondson and that there was no question that Edmondson perished In the fire. This places the horrible affair in q different light.
 The EdmonJsons resided fin 4 lor house and both the house and barn were burned. It is said that Edmond sons mother had about ss,000 in coin buried near the house. Whether or not this money Is missing cannot be aseertained. The old woman was serI- ously i'll and whether or not she per- ished in the fire is not definitely known.
 So far as can be told the horribly burned bodies of only five persons have been found yet, there were six In all and Mir. Wallen Is quite sure that EdmOndson himself was one of the number who lost his life. @ If Edmondson, committed the crime and escaped with his life he has suo- ceeded In evading the officers in marvellous manner as no trace of him whatever has been found
 The burned body of a little girl was found buried in a pile of cotton seed in the. barn.

 M. Laptcheff. Minister of Com- merce. will come to Sofia December I. ostensibly in connection with the affairs of his department. the budget of which he must prepare. President of the council. Matinoff. says that M. Liaptcheff soon will return to Con- stantinople and resume the negotia- tions looking to settlement of the difficulties between Turkey and Bui- garia which are proceeding smoothly but very slowly
 What the attitude of Bulgaria will be in the event of hostiiities between Austria Hungary and Turkey Is a question that is beginning to claim attention here. It has revived specu- latlon concerning the existence of some sort of Austro-H -Hungarian-B Bulgarian convention. A cabinet minister said today that Bulgaria's hands are ab- soiutely free to act in whatever man. ner she may consider advantageous. Direct co-operation between Austria and Bulgaria was unthinkable, he add. ed, but Bulgaria would have to resist the temptation Of a favorable moment for the invasion of Macedonia unless Turkey had given previous guarantees of her intention to grant equal civil and political rights to the Bulgarian population of Macedonia.

Three Bullets Were Fired Into Body of the AHurdererss Brother and Two Into Hia Aged
 MOther.

New York. Nov. 27.-with aim SO deadly that all five shots he fired took effect, Will Kallebrun of Jersey City tonight shot and killed his brother Leo and then his aged mother, Mrs. Victoria Kallebrun.

Kallebrun had come from Jersey City with a friend, Albert Trogunwycs. to secure money from his brother Leo, and the shoot ing resulted from the fact that Leo would not give him the money.

 Kallebrun was arrested. At the po- lice station he told his friend Tregufi- yves that he was dazed and did not know what he had done.
