TURNING THE TABLES.
A Canadian Vessel Seized by
Chicago Authorities.
The 0leomargarine Bill Passes
the House.
One Hundred More Apaches on
the Warpath.
"Whose OK is Gored''P

CHICAGO, June 3.-The Canadian stes IN
barge, Nipigon, arrived here to-day, and
Collector Seeberger will not allow her to
depart until instructions are received from
Washington. The seizure of the vessel is
due to the fact that she failed to touch at
Mackinaw or ~Sheboygan on entering
American waters for permission to proceed,
as is required by law. The penalty is
the forfeiture of the vessel and cargo.
Capt. Conlan says his reason for not obey
ing the law was that the boat had sprung
a leak in a storm. The men were re-
quircd to work necessarily at the pumps,
and TO have put in to either of the ports
mentioned would have endangered the
lives of the crew. The vessel arrived
here in a sinking condition. The captain
reported the circumstances to the collec-
tor, but the latter said he could not de-
part from the rule except upon instruc-
tons to that effect from Washington.

American Citizens Demand FRO
lection.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-The chair laid
before the senate several messages from
the president vetoing several pension bills.
They have been published already.
Mr.. Dawes presented a petition from
the city council, of Gloucester, Mass,
which was appropriately referred, praying
for retaliation on the Canadian govern
ment for the seizure of American fishing
vessels. In presenting the petition, Mr..
Dawes said it seemed to be the disposition
on the part of the Cana ian government
to harrass and embarrass citizens of the
United States engaged in what could not
be but considered lawful commerce.
Simple commercial transactions, such as
the purchase of provisions merely, had
been the cause of the seizure of vessels of
the United States. 1t seemed to many
persons. Mr.. Dawes said, that there was
some dilatoriness on the part of those
clothed with the duty Of protecting our
commerce. He had no doubt the com
mittee on foreign relations were giving
the subject proper attention, but Mr..
Dawes inquired whether the committee
could give some assurance, that might GO
to the public. that measures would be
taken which would protect our citizens in
their rights.
Mr.. Dawes remarked that it could not
mittee, that armed cruisers of the Cana
dian government were about the waters on
the borders of the three mile limit in
search of American vessels, in order that
they might, under some pretext or other,
seize them. The entire absence OF any
armed vessel of the United States in those
waters to protect our fishermen in the ex
ercise of lawful commerce, led Mr.. Dawes
to inquire whether that absence was from
any lack of proper power in the premises.
In reply, Mr.. Edmunds said no legisla-
ton was necessary unless it might be by
appropriation of money, and hardly that
to enable the president OF the United
States who Is commander IN chiei OF oul
armies and navies' to send out any vesseI
OF the United States, II we happened t(
have one that could SWIM Edmund'
presumed 1t would not be considered DIS
courteous to express the hope that a shi'
otthe United States government would II
due time appear In northern seas at Q
proper and respectful distance from shore
OF her majesty dominion, to give som'
little encouragement to American e'tizen'
engaged IN lawful pursuits.

No Excuse.

"But, could not it be possible that
on account of the fog the engineer OF
the Woburn train ran by the signals
without clearly seeing them p asked a
reporter of General Superintendent
Mellen after the accident at Whining
ton, Mass, last week.
"No such excuse is admissible for a
Moment" was the reply. alt is an
engineers business to get out and
climb pole if he cannot distinctly see
a signal otherwise"
If the railroad engineers and con-
ductOrs throughout the country could
be thoroughly inoculated with this
notion accidents would practically be
ut an end. At the particular point
where the above accident occurred
that cost one man his life and others
serious injury, the interlocking system
of switches and signals, considered the
best system yet invented, was in use.
All the care that the management of
the road has taken to protect the lives
of it's patrons was frustrated because
one man couldn't see the signals"
and therefore went ahead guessing
that they were all right.

The New Tariff Bill.

Mr.. Morrison introduced his new
tariff bill Monday. There seems little
probability at this juncture that it will
become law though it is said that
Randall and other conservative men
have promised it their support.
Vermont farmers will find something
to interest them in the provisions of
the bill, for among the articles added
to the free list are hay and potatoes.
OF hay we imported last year $4,000
tons, the duty on which is 81 per ton.
OF potatoes Cts, 900 bushels were i'm
ported, the duty being Is cents a bush
ell. Lumber, hewn and sawed, is also
added to the free list as we'll as timber,
squared and sided, not specially enum-
Grated or provided for; sawed boards,
plank, deals, and other lumber of hem
lock, wildwood, sycamore and bass
wood, and all other articles of sawed
lumber. The bill also proposes Il gen.
eral scaling down of duties on finished
lumber. The silver question will
probably OvershadOw the Morrison
scheme at present but it seems likely
to give rise to considerable discussion.
1t touches every industry in the land.

Good, But not too Good.

1t would seem that a paper may be
thoroughly good as political organ
and yet not take particularly high
ground on moral questions. For ex-
ample, the Tribune, that representa-
tive of all that is good in republican
politics, goes out of it's way to sheer al
the decision of Secretary Villas not to
give the city of Baltimore a Sunday
morning delivery of the mails. Mr..
Villas declined to grant the request
''Out of respect to the moral sense of
the community" "But Villas" says
the Tribune, ''whO is so tender of Bal
timOre's Sunday morning, showed that
he cared nothing at all about the best
interests of business men," The bet
ter class of the republicans, however,
heartily approve the action of the sec
rotary.

All One Way.
Rotary.

Gov. Robinson of Massachusetts de-
livered n stirring speech before the
Essex club last Saturday in favor of
biennial elections. He hit the nail on
the head when he said: "Put your
finger on Vermont and travel over her
hills, and with the exception of one OF
two men, you will find just one voice
about it. If you look Yer
mont over with microscope, you will
hardly find II man who favOrs the old
system ne-tenths of the people are
one way" .....
Perhaps the strongest statement in
favor of the old system is given by
Senator Edmunds, whose letter to a
Massachusetts man on the subject will
be found in this issue. 1t only goes to
show that man who is pretty gener-
ally on the right side of all questions
may occasionally get on the wrong
side of IA single one.

ing at Salt Lake City among the legal
men because of his arrest as he is re-
garded as the chief mind in the Nor
mon church, whose authoritative voice
from his retreat gave orders to the
faithful to stand firm and support pO-
lygamy. The fact is the ways of the
Mormon saints, these days, are not
ways of pleasantness.

there was higher obligation than
