unjustly court-martialed and dis
missed from the Army. In 1878 bv
direction Of President Hayes a search

facts in the case was made hy a court

and reported that the Judgment of the
original court-martial was based
upon totally erroneous Impressions.
not only respecting what his conduct
really was, but respecting all The cir
cnmstances under which he acted. and
added that justice required that the
findings and sentence Of the original
court-martial be annulled and set
aside, and that he be restored TO the
position of which he had been de-
prived, such restoration to take effect
from the date of his dismissal from
the service 10 was not until 1855 that
Congress took action and restored him
TO his rank in the regular army. but
under the influence Of party prejudice
denied him the pay or emolutions dur
ing the time that he was uniustly de-
prived of his commission. which
amounted 20 a large sum of money.
This latter stipulation was contrary to
all precedents and i'm violation Of
every principle of equity and Justice
Mrs. Porter is oevr 20 years OF age
and has daughter dependent upon
her for support It is submitted that
the granting OF the pension provided
for in the bill is not by any means an
act of 'favoritism' but proper rec
ognition Of the long, faithful and dis
tinguished service which General Por-
ter had rendered to his country in two
wars. I trust that the bill for her re-
lief may be farorably. but in a very
meager and inadequate way. some
compensation for the pay and emolu-
ments of which her husband was so
uniustly deprived.

from North Dakota a question. He
spoke of some 200 or $50 widows

to ask him if there are any of those

lost for a long period of years the pay
and emoluments to which they were
entitled and we're deprived of them ia
this way? That is what diferentiates
this casef from the others
IL was brought out that as result
of unjust accusations General Porter
was deprived of almost $4,000 he
otherwise would have received.
Senator McCumber continued to fight
strenuously against the enlarged pen

with the Delaware Senator and the bill

Two hundred and thirty-six pounds of mail left Cnalakleet this morning at o'clock for Nome. It contains four pouches. which means first class mail. and two sacks of second. The information was conveyed by tele- grams from the Unalakleet postmas- ter to William McManus.
 This mail is without doubt the one which was dispatched from Panama February 12. It has now. therefore, made the greater part of the journey from that point to Nome in 12 days and will arrived here on the next trip but one. That is 1t is due here next Sunday or Monday. 7 The emergency mail Is also now en route from Panama here according to telegram from Chief Mail Clerk Handles This message reads: -----

SKIRM|SH WON
 BY TURKS
Special Nugget Ssrvies.

LONDON, Feb. Dispatches re- ccived yesterday state that the Turks have won another rather important fight against the Bulgarians on the Gallipili peninsula. The full forces were not engaged and the fight con- sisted of an engagement of outposts with endorsements sent from the main bodies. The Bulgarians were driven back to their lines with rather large loss but nothing more decisive can be claimde.
 The fight had the effect, however of raising the spirits of the Turkish army.
 It is believed likely that negotia- tions for peace may be begun again and Turkey will probably he offered better terms.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 23. - If a country aver seemed to be abso- lutely sure of going to war that coun- try is the United Stats today. Right at this moment troops and war vessels are moving with all the ap- pcarance of preparing for the strug- gle and no one seems to doubt now that Mexico is about to receive a bloody lesson.
 Five thousand troops are moving at this moment on Galveston from diff. fcrent quarters and on the fourth day of March an Amrican army of no less than 10000 men will be concen- trated at that point ready to march across the boundary line.
 The shooting of Madero and Suarez is regarded here as a direct slap in the face at the United States government vIdIng a guard wnICn wUuIu tain to make such an attempt entire ly out of the question.
 President Taft made a statement today in which he declared that the movement of troops towards Mexico

OUTSIDE MAIL
 FROM UNALAKLEET

Judging hy the wording of this telegram it would seem likely that the first class mail WAS put all together and shipped Saturday to make speed, and that all the second was held back by Handles until the emergency car riers started today.
 The first class shipment would likely be a regular mail and the first class from the emergency mail. However, that is only a surmise founded on the fact that the amount of second class to leave today is so large.
 Next Saturday. Sunday or Monday, 1t is safe to say, outside mail will ar rive here. Since the interruption only one mail from outside arrived ana that was so small as hardly to be worth taking into account.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 23.-Madero. former president of Mexico, and SuareZ. former right hand man of Ma = dero, were shot and killed today.
 The story of the authorities --is-to the effect that an attempt was made to rescue them while they were being conveyed to the pcnitcntiary in an automobile but no one believes this. It has been mooted all over the city since Maderos capture that some such trick would he employed to take his life without letting the killing have the scmblance of murder.

 President lIucrta makes the asScr- ton that Madero and SuarcZ ccrtain- ly tried to escape when the attempt q rescue was made. He declares that the two men would not have hccn shot otherwise.
 In an official announcement made after the shooting he said

and particularly the assembling of brigade at Galveston were only pre- cautionary measures.
 "The next step, and the final step" says the president. "will be the sending of four transports and two briGades to Galveston"
 It is considered by some that this mobilization may mean nothing more since Secretary of State Knox had distinctly warned Huerta against summarily executing the ex-president.
 The idea that the shooting was ne- cessary is regarded here as ridiculous. It Is pointed out that Huerta could easily have avoided any attempt at rescue either by sending the prisoners secretly to the penitentiary or by pro than a desire to be ready in case Mexico breaks out in revolution again although it is deemed possible that shooting as sufficient cause for war.
 The president is quoted as having said that the American government did all in it's power to save Madero's life

Shoe Factory to Stay.

There have been rumors for some time
that the factory Of the Mutual Shoe
makers, Of Ellsworth, was to move away
from this city.
General Manager Normandy has ex-
pressed himself as not satisfied with the
financial support given him here, and has
been in negotiation with business men OF
Biddeford with the view OF locating there.
A meeting of the stockholders was held
Monday, at which about thirty were pres
ent. The sentiment OF the meeting was
all against the removal of the factory.
There is evidently a disposition among
the Ellsworth stockholders to allow Mr..
Normandy to withdraw, If he desires, and
to continue the factory here under the
management of P. B. Russell.
The factory has already shown profit,
but is handicapped by lack of working
capital. Mr.. Russell is thoroughly COM
retent shoe man, and having the confidence
of the people of Ellsworth he would
doubtless command the financial support
necessary to make the factory a success.
Another meeting OF the stockholders
will be held in few days, at which def
mite action will be taken.

Congressman-Elect from Third Dis
trict Takes Oath.
Hon. John A. Peters. the new congress-
man from the third Maine district, re-
ceived an ovation from the republican
members OF the House when he took the
oath of office at Washington Monday.
The attention of the country was GEN.
tired on the election in which Mr.. Peters
defeated W. R. Pattangall, his democratic
opponent, and there is a disposition on
the part OF the republicans to make much
OF the victory as indicating disapproval
of the Underwood tariff bill and the Will
son administration generally.
When Mr.. Peters stood up, as his name
was called, the republicans commenced
cheering. They cheered when Representa-
tive F. E. Guernsey, of the fourth district,
presented him to Speaker Clark, and once
more when, after having subscribed to the
oath, he took his seat.
