STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting Of Governor and Council
Thursday, April 2, at 10 A. M.

A matter of much interest to the
members of the different organizations
of the National Guard Of the State is
the issuance of the new Springfield
rifles of the 1903 model, and there is
not a small amount Of speculation
among the Guardsmen as to when the
new rifles will come along. Some Of
the rifles have already been received,
but only 100 of them, and they will not
be issued to the troops until the whole
number for which the requisition was
made some time ago have been re-
ceived. When that time arrives the
Krag rifles with which the Guard is
now armed will be exchanged for the
new arms. The ammunition now on
hand in the State will also be ex-
changed for a like amount of 1903
ammunition, as that used by the Krag
rifles cannot be used in the new rifles.
1t is understood that there is quite an
amount of ammunition now on hand.
Arrangements have been completed
by Gen. Crozier, chief of ordnance of
the army for the issue of the new
Springfield rifle, 1903 model, to the
organized militia of all the states and
territories under the law governing
Sucn issue, anu III ADDITION 10 tne lew

rifles have been supplied to the

New Jersey, West Virginia, part of
Minnesota, part of New York and the
Hawaiian islands. A letter has been
sent to the adjutants general of all the
states and territories that have not yet
been supplied stating the readiness of
the department to furnish the number
needed and explaining how they may
be obtained. Each state governor is
required to make a requisltion and the
ordnance department is prepared to
ship rifles and equipment enough for
the actual enlisted strength of the
National Guard of each state, with 10
per cent added for newly recruited
strength up to the authorized strength
Of 1854 men for engineers, 100 for

The Board of Railroad Commits
sioners received a notification Monday
from the attorneys of the town of
Orono that it would enter an appeal to
the supreme court from the commits
sionerS' decision of March 4, last.
ordering the Bangor Railway and
Electric Co. to strengthen the bridge
across the saltwater branch at OrOno
and ordering the town of Orono to pay
$25OO toward the repairs which, it is
estimated. would cost $4,000.
The appellants contend that the
bridge over which this railroad passes
is not one erected by the municipality,
and therefore the Board of Railroad
Commissioners had no authority in
law to entertain or act upon the petit
ton so far as the same relates to the
inhabitants of the town or OrOno. but
should have dismissed the same
agreeabIy to the motion of the in
habitants of the town Of Orono.
The appellants further contend that
'if said bridge can be held tc be a
bridge erected by said municipality
and the inhabitants of the tawn OF
Orono can be required to maintain the
same in whole or in part, for the use
and benefit of the said Bangor Rail-
way and Electric Company. then said
Board OF Railroad Commissioners has
not fairly and justly apportioned the
expense of such repairs between said
Railroad and Electric Company and
said town, but has unfairly and un-
justly apportioned the same and
placed upon said town burden when
It ought not be compelled to bear.
That, as said bridge has ever been
kept in repair SO as to be safe and
convenient for travellers with horses.
