Bristol, Sept. 1 l.-rTh autumnal meet
ing of the Association of Chambers of
Commerce of the United Kingdom opened
her today fo' a two day's session. The
attendance is unusually large and an in
teresting session is expected. Among the
many important matters, which will be
considered by the meeting will be . the
proposition to start a movement in favor
of cheaper postal, telephonic, telegraphic
and parcel post rates between Great,
Britain and France. There is scarcely
any doubt that the convention will sup
port such a movement,, but it is more than
doubtful that it will be possible, at least
at .the present time, to carry the plan to
success. Should the Chambers of Com
merce express themselves in favor of the
plan, an effort will be made to . interest
the French and the British governments.
It is not believed, that, even if the two
governments should favor such a plan,
they would car to assume the responsi
bility of making such a change without
first submitting it to the International
Postal Union. The probability is that
some of the other countries belonging to
the International Postal Union might ob
ject to such an arrangement, which would
give the two countries considerable ad
vantage over other countries belonging to
the Union. At all events, the matter will
be thoroughly agitated and every effort
will be made to bring about the desired
end.

the fruit offered for sale in the several
stores in the city and confiscated fourteen
boxes of apples and pears, afflicted with
codlin math. Yesterday State Commis
sioner Judd Gaer. of the Cove came over
to investigate the matter. The law which
has been on the statutes for several
years is very strict on offering for sale
infected fruit and is just as binding on
the dealer. The commissioners hav
decided to strictly enforce the law from
this time on.

BARTLEII DIDN'T TESTIFY
E. W. Bartlett ha returned from Port
land after sitting in the witness ssllitry
nineteen day. H was called to Port
land to testify in the May case but wa
never cailed to the stand. He save there
war over a hundred who like himself
were closeted in the third story of the
court house and never appeared on the
stand. In regard to the propabi'iti of
convicting May, the attorney stated that
if the trial convicted May alone there
would be little diffiulty for Prosecuting
Attorney Heney to land him in prison
but as the prosecution has to prove Sor
enson, Jones and Mays alik guilty of a
conspiracy to defraud the government
there is much uncertainty. Because the
indictment allege a conspiracy ths
vidence must show that each individual,
seperately is guilty and connected with the
conspiracy. On Innocent, all innocent
lhe object in calling Mr. Bartlett wa
primarily to identify legal paper that
had been sen' to the prosecution.
