Tho Duebor Wnteh Caso Manufacturing
Company will resume work In eovcrnl do
partmonts tomorrow. A. full force of
hands will not bo put on this wcok, but It
Is expected that by Monday, nil prepara
tions for resuming operations on a largo

TO LIFT THE ASSIGNMENT.
Tlicro Is a bright prospect that tho as
signment will bo lifted even sooner than
was anticipated. With this end in view,
Judge W. R. Day, W. W. Clark and Col
onel W. A. Moore will loavo for Cincin
nati to-morrow and they hapo oro their re
turn to havo accomplished tho raising of
the assignment.
To a News-Democrat reporter this af
ternoon Judgo Day said-: "Tho Canton
banks havo already signed an agreement
to roleaso tho mortgage and -allow
1ho assignment to bo terminated, and tho
property turned over to thoIDuebcr Watch
Caso Manufacturlngeompany. Tho prin
cipal creditors are tho Clovoland banks
which have paper to tho amount of $110,
000. Cincinnati bunks holding "?13,000.
Charles D. Rood holding (98,000 and tho
Canton banks $17,000. Of tho Canton
banks, Georgo D. Hartcr & Bro. havo
U0,000 and tho First National Bank,
$7,000. Tho Canton banks havo olready
signed the agreement. Mr. Rood has not
been scon but I havo no doubt ho will
readily glvo his consont. Tho Clovoland
banks are inclined to bo lenient and
I think wo will Jiavo -no trouble
with tho Cincinnati banks. When theso
principal creditors sign tho agreement, as
wo havo every reason to bellcvo they will,
tho assignment will 'bo terminated. We
havo no fears of tho smaller creditors re
fusing to give their 'Consont, but if neces
sary they will bo paid off. With tho con
sent of the Cleveland, Cincinnati and Can
ton banks and Mr. Koodfwo think the
assignment will bo lifted shortly."
Tho Enquirer this morning has tho fol
lowing regarding tho Duober assignment:
"Yesterday Judgo -Goebol approved tho
agreement that was entered Int6 between
creditors of Mr. Dueter and tho citizens
of Canton, whoroby tho Hampden Watch
Works will resume operations. This
completes tho mutter, and nothing re
mains to prevent tho starting of tho watch
factory.

of tho factory, saying that a commltteo of

and that sho had been very low ever sinco.

DID THEY ELOPE?
Hobart Cully and Ma3gio Mnckoy
Loavo tho Oity.
It is Supposed They Havo Left for tho Old
Country The Wife and Mothor Talks.
Mrs. Robert Cully and Mrs. Julia
Mackcy appeared at tho Mayor's oillco
this afternoon, with copious tears stream
ing froi.i their eyes. Whon Interrogated
by a News Democrat reporter concerning
tlnj causo of such a general broken up
feeling, Mrs. Cully said: "My husband has
run away with my sister and I want them
brought back."
Further questioning elicited tho history
of tho matter ho far as Mrs. Cully or Mrs.
Mackoy know. Tho main actors in tho
drama nro Robert Cully, who is ono of tho
principal witnesses In tho Maxwcll-Bord-ncr
aitalr and Magglo Mackcy, sister of
Mrs. Cully, a comely littlo lady of 23 sum
mers, who has been employed with tho
Canton Baking Company.
Cully has been working nt tho Clovoland
& Canton freight depot, but was discharg
ed on Friday of last week, and paid In full,
tho amount being $41.25. Ho has been
drinking of late and It v. as for this reason
that ho was discharged. Last evening ho
failed to go to his homo nt 225 East Third
street aud his wifo becoming anxious re
garding his whereabouts Instituted nn in
vestigation, soon coming to tho conclu
sion that her husband nnd her sister had
left tho city tognther.
Mr. Androws, of tho Canton Baking
Company was seen this afternoon by tho
reporter and stated that ho had often
noticed Cully hanging about tho establish
mont and that ho had seen him and Mag
gie In consultation on different occasions.
Cully was In tho habit of dropping around
to tho bakery nearly every evening after
his work was finished, and ho and Magglo
would talk for somo tlmo. Sunday morning
Magglo asKou Mrs. -Andrews u suo couiil
-getaway for a couple of days as sho wan
ted to make a visit. Upon being given
tho required leavo of nbsonco tho young
lady stated that sho didn't want to go un
til tho next Monday noon. Sho therefore
worked until that time, gotting up at 4
o'clock Monday morning nnd getting tho
w ashing done before dinnor. At 1 o'clock
she left tho storo nnd has not beon seen
since. Mr. Audrowsfltatcd that he sus
pected something was in tho wind, as
Maggie took a number of dressos with her,
in fact all the good oneB
sho had. Throo weeks ago
sho received n letter from tho Anchor
Steamship Company regarding pasnago
to Europe on that line. Sho was paid up
in full, and had bcon very saving, couset
quontly had considerable money on hand.
Cully stated to tho men ut tho freigh
depot that if any word should corns from
his peoplo in Scotland, to hold it until ho
returned. Ho stated that ho was going
away for a few days but failed to suy
which way ho was going.
Mrs. Mnckcy, who Is also an important
witness In tho Maxwell caso, and is tho
mother of tho missing girl, said that sho
was certain that Cully had for somo tlmo
been saving his money and giving it to
Magglo to keep for Jihn. It is probable
that tho couplo havo sulllcient funds to
make the trip to their friends iu tho old
country should theydeslro.
Mrs. Cully is positive they liavo gono to
gether, aud is anxious that they bo
brought back and punished.
It is said that they loft for tho cast ou

edly bronght before tho snpromo con,
of the United States, when Sir Jolrra

through Mr. Cnlderon Carlislo, the

counsel, made a motion in tho court for

It ! England's Appeal.
This move on the part of tho Girradtao

half of Cnnndn by Sir John Thompson?
with tho full knowledgo nnd consent of
the British government, tho purnoso ev
idently being to appeal from the stato
department to fho supremo court to soU

on the part of tho British govcrnmont
seems not to hnvo been, oxpected, and
the attorney general was taken by sur
prise when the motion wns mado by Mr.
Clioato. Tho court ordered that two
weeks' timo be granted to tho attornoy
general to make a showing in opposition;
to tho motion. Tho British governmont,.
it is believed, has had this matter he

1' o Question
of theinrif-dictinii of thn TTnWn.T Mn(o-
bverthi' Bohrinc- sea is discussed nt
great length in tho brief filed jestordajr
from tho British stnndpomt ns outlined,
in Lord Salisbury's last communication,
to tho British minister here. In sub
stance it is urged thnt if Russia evar
had jurisdiction over theso waters be
yond tho Marine league, not conceding:
at all that she had, it was not by virtue
of her posoessions in the Aleutian
islands and Alaska, but by tho general
consent of other nntious. Then the
treaty between Russia nud tho United"
States is quoted from to prove that tmv
only cession Russia made to tho United
States wns of the territory of Alaska
nnd tho Alontinn islands, and "tho
waters adjacent thereto." Argument is.
made to prove thnt the wnters adjacent
thereto nro and could be only thosa
waters within tho Murine league from,
the shores. It is claimed that the lan
guago of the treaty clearly indicated
this.
On Theno Point
the brief says: "Tho proceeding how
sought to be prohibited is nn nttempted
exercise of jurisdiction, not under thfc
gonernl law ninritime, but under at
municipal stntute. In order to sustain:
tho jurisdiction in this caso, theroforo,
it most necessarily nppear that tho act
committed by the master and crew of
the Hay ward, for which the condemna
tion nnd forfeiture wns fought, was an
net in violation of Ojp laws of thtfr
United States, dono niiuVonnnitted in a
placo subject to their legislation and.
judicial jurisdiction."
The Ru88o-American treaty of 1821 in,
then examined to determine what it pnr
ports to grant or convoy to the United
States, nnd the conclusion is renched
that it does not ospressly convey any
domiuion in tho wnters of Bering sea.
