SOLDIERS IN RIOT.
ArtiIIerymen, Citizens and Police Clash
At Port Townsend, Wash.

Port Townsend, Wash. Dec. 11.-For
the second time within a month a con-
fiict between artillerymen from Fort
Wor1en and Port Townsend citizens
and the police. developed last night in
to a riot Charles A. Kaiser, bar ten
der, was beaten into insensibility by a
crowd of soldiers who took possession
of his place The police, aided by cit
liens, finally suppressed the disturb
ance after Kaiser had received half a
dozen scalp wounds, eight soldiers had
been arrested, several others severely
beaten with baseball bats in the hands
of the local authorities and plate

WORK OF FIREBUG.
Com'r. Carr Convinced One Caused the
East Machias Fires.

Bangor, Ne, Dec 11.-Hon. S. w.
and T. E. Hartnett, State detective,
who have been investigating the in
cendiary fires which have destroyed
he plant of the East Machias Lumber
Co. at East Machias, within the last
tx months, were passengers on the
45 express for Augusta Friday after
noon.
Commissioner Carr and Detective
Iartnett have been in East Machias
for several days consulting officials of
he East Machias Lumber Co and resi-
dents of that town to see il any clues
an be unearthed that will lead to the
conviction of the guilty Parties.
Mr.. Carr was interviewed by a Com
nercial reporter at the Union station
Friday afternoon and the commission
er stated that there was NO doubt that
a firebug was responsible for the three
fires which have totally destroyed the
fine plant of the East Machias Lum
Der Co. He said that the ground had
been thoroughly looked over and, while
there was no doubt that the fires were
Of incendiary origin, no clues as to the
identity Of the guilty parties have been
secured. Commissioned Carr stated that
ne did not know whe ther there would
lie any further action by his depart
n?ent in the matter or not.
The visit Of Comm issIoner Carr and
Detective Hartnett to East Machfas
was hurried by the destruction carly
Sunday morning, Dt,c. 5, OF the board
ing house and dwelling, both of Which
were occupied at tue time of the con-
fagration.
Within the last SIX months. there
have been three good-sized fires at
East Machias, including last Sundays
and all Of them have been confined to
the plant of the East Machias Lumber
Co. At the two previous ones, saw
mills, planning and shingle mill were
destroyed. With the, destruction Of the
boarding house and dwelling Sunday,
the total boss ent allied amounted to
100000.
The wipiilg out Of the lumber plant
has placed the inhabitants of East Ma
chias in rather a hard position. East
Machias is Il struggling village Of about
1860 people and the principal employ
ment for good majority Of the men
was obtained in the lumber concern.
With the destruction of this plant, the
principal industry of the town was
etfaced and unless it is rebuilt within
a short time it is said that many Of
the residents of the place will feel the
pinch of hard times.

No Immediate Dissolution
Of Parliament.
Government. viii Choose Own
Time For Dissolution.
Budget to Be Feature Of Program
For Next Parliament.

London, Dec. 1.-THE governments
determination that there shall be no
immediate dissolution of Parliament,
but That the ministers will meet in
Parliament at it's next session with an
important program. of which the
budget will be leading feature was
announced by Premier Asquith at a
banquet given MIN at the National Lib
eral Club tonight by 200 members of
his party as a mark Of their appre-
citation and confidence.
The occasion had been anticipated
with great interest as affording Mr..
Asquith an opportunity to explain his
policy in the face of the rejection by
the House of Lords on Liberal bills.
In a speech justifying the legislative
work the Liberals already have ac-
comDlished. Mr. .AsGuith invited the
party t. treat the veto of the House
of Lords as the dominating issue in
politics, but he declined to dissolve
Parliament, he declared, at the dicta-
ton and caprice of the Upper Cham
ber. To admit such a claim on the part
of an irresponsible chamber, the Pre-
mier said, would be immeasura bly, alb
surd. for it would render the Liberal
government subject, session after ses-
sion to a series of general elections.
The government would. therefore.
choose its own time for dissolution.
With regard to the next session of
Parliament, Mr.. Asquith said the chief
work would be concerned with the
budget and the weighty domestic
problems therein involved and on it the
government would stand or fall, or at
any rate be judged. 1t would raise
again, in its most acute form, the pre-
mier concluded. the great controversy
of free trade versus protection.

| HOLIDAY TRADE
Gives an Air Of Activity
Among Retailers,
Winter Clothing and Iron Pro-
duCtion Also Shows Life.
Old Orders in Wholesale Lines Nov
Ing weII-..Mew Orders Fair.

New York, Dec 11.-R G. Run &
Cos. Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
Retail trade is active. in Holiday
goods and winter wearing apparel,
while wholesale and jobbing depart
ments are seasonably quiet as to new
business, but there is good move
ment on old orders, and manufacturing
operations are not curtailed. Mercan-
tile collections are more prompt, and
the steady gain in production of pig
iron is a most encouraging Indication
of confidence in the leading industry.
Seasonably quiet conditions are re-
ported in the primary markets for cot
ton goods. stocks being reduced as far
as possible before making inventories,
but there is confidence in normal re-
vival in January unless raw material
becomes unsettled. Export trade re-
mains dull If this situation does not
change it is probable that machinery
now employed on coarse goods for the
foreign market will be diverted to
lighter fabrics for use at home. Mar
row print cloths have been supported
by liberal purchases, but operations
in wide goods at second hands have
had demoraiizing influence.
Expected advances in prices of foot
wear have been asked by New Eng
lend manufacturers and while the rise
tendsto restrict new business, the raw
material situation seems to warrant
the small increase of 21a to 5 cents a
pair. Statesmen are returning for the
holidays, after placing fair case con-
tracts for spring goods deliverable up
to March and the distribution Of sam
pies has been sufficiently large to
promise a seasonable demand after
Jan. 1. There is seasonable quiet in
leather trade. Orders are largest from
shoe manufacturers in the Boston dis
trict, who allowed stocks to fall so
low that material is needed in filing
current orders. While harness leather
is especially cuiet, prices are fully
tanners anticipating a
good demand next month.
Failures this week numbered S12 in
the United States against 322 last year
and 42 In Canada compared with So a
year ago.

LEE TOWN HALL BURNED.
Other Buildings Catch Fire and Still
Others Are Threatened.

Lincoln, Me-, Dec. 1.-THE Town hall
in Lee, village II miles east of this
place, was burned tonight and nearby
buildings caught fire so that the entire
population of the village was forced to
turn out to prevent the blaze from
sweeping disastrously along the main
street. A dwelling house adjoining the
Town hall was burned, and the store
of Mrs. G. B. Wetherbee, dealer in
hardware, also caught fire
A strong wind was blowing and at
the time news Of the fire was sent here
it was feared that the village people
would be unable to control it.
Later it was announced that the fire
was well under control, and that no
assistance would be required from this
town. The only building burned be-
sides the Town hall was the residence
OF George w. Coffin, and a stable also
belonging to Mr. Coffin. The Wether-
bee store was only slightly damaged.
The snow fall of this afternoon COW
cred the roofs of the nearby buildings
and was Of great assistance to the viii
layers in their battle with the flames
The total loss will not exceed $4,000.
