that he has done all that was required

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April Pin the
ease Of the OntonagOn & Brule River
Railroad Company against Alexander
IecIalre. Of the Marquette, Mich. land
district, the secretary of the interior
to-day decided that the railroad
company is entitled to make Sc

granted limits Of the Marquette * State
Line Railroad, although within the in
dcmnity limits Of the Ontonagon d
state Line Railroad, of which the
Ontonagon 4 Brule River Road
claims TO be the successor. He holds
that the withdrawal of 1856, of the lands
within said limits was for the benefit OF
the Marquette q State Line Road, and
that the release to the United States of
lands within said granted limits
that had formerly been certified
10 the Marquette & State Line
Road, was a complete abroga-
sion of said withdrawal The lands in
question, said to aggregate about s., 900
acres, are held to be subject to home

oBTiTNED MS RIGHTS.
\ Wealthy Colored Man Gets Even With a
Chicago Restamrant Keeper.

Daniel Scales, of Cleveland, negro
who by his own efforts has amassed a
fortune of 100000, added little to it
on the 23d at the expense of one of Chi
cagO's Doodle county commissioners,
and in addition vindicated the civil
rights of colored citizens. Scales had
frequently been a guest at the Breyoort
House and never suffered anv discrim-
lnation on account of his color until
one day he patronized the hotel restau-
rant shortly after it had been purchased
by County Commissioner Wasserman.
Then the walters, apparently by instruc-
tlons of the proprietor, ignored Scales
presence, and in response to demand
for the bill of fare, handed him one
which had naught added in pencil to
every price quoted. Scales gave no at
tention to pencil marks, and found him
self charged 80 cents instead of cents
for cup of coffee, and as a total for his
modest meal, $3.50. Being threatened
with arrest. he paid the full amount and
sued for damages. Since the suit was
filed Wasserman has been arrested,
tried and convicted upon charges of
robbing the public treasury. The jury
gave the negro a verdict for S25. Wass-
erman, owing to his incarceration, could

DR4M4NIC SUICIDE.
Duluth Man Invites His Friends to Wit

Andreas Refers suicide at Tower,
Mimi, is probably unparalleled in one
respect at least. He invited a number
of guests at the Pioneer Hotel to come
and see him kill himself. Thinking
that he was up to some practical joke
the gentleman accompanied him to
see the fun. Arriving at his room he
deliberately pulled a revolver and aim
ing at his stomach pulled the trigger.
The ball, however, struck button and
g'anced off. Realizing now that he was
in earnest. efforts were made TO secure
Refer and induce him to desist from
his purpose, but he managed to elude
his pursuers ana finally managed
to get a ball through vital
organ which ended his life on the 25th.
Refer was known by all settlers at the
head of the lake, and he was the last
man anybody would ever suspect would
take his own life. He bad lived in and
about Duluth for many years and fol-
lowed the calling of an explorer. He
was not known to have any relatives in
this country, but was possessed of con-
siderable means

SIGNS OF INPROTENENT.
The Emperor's Condition Somewh hat Nor
SatiSGaetnry

Berlin, APRIL 24.-The North Ger
man Gazette says that the Emperor S
condition shows clearly perceptible
tendency towards slowly pro-
gressive improvement. His fever
has diminished regularly during the last
few days. His temperature to-day was
SO degrees, Celsius. His physicians hope
for further abatement in view of the
recent symptoms developed and they
find especial reason for hope in the re-
turn of his appetite. The fact that the
Emperor has hitherto taken fair
quantity of nourishment is solely due to
the urgent recommendation of his
physicians. Good results followed
the observance of their advice and
his maiesty's present disposition to
take solid food is a satisfactory symp-
tom. But, says the paper, it is neces-
sary to exercise caution in pronouncing
judgment in the present aspect of the
case. The Emperor showed some emo
ton on receiving Queen Victoria to-
day, but he apparently suffers no i'll eff
fects from the meeting. DR.. krause will
leave the castle for the present.

Execution follows sentence very
swiftly in England. The utmost period
of delay does not go beyond a month,
and often execution takes place ten
DAYS after a sentence. There is no ap-

odds are ninety-nine to one that a man
sentenced to death in England will be

And his musket molds in his hands

And the soldier passing fair.

Kissed them and put them there.
Now don't you go tin come" he said
And don't you make any poise :"
So toddling of to bis trund bed
he dreamt OF the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming, al angel song
Awakened our Little b BJy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Aye, faithful 10 Little Boy Blue they stand
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of little hand,
The smile of little face
And they wonder, a. waiting these long years
through,
In the dust of that little chair.
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
since he kissed them and put them there.

Sealing Matters.
OTTAWA. Ont, April 26.-ln the House

anilaated discussion On the Behrlng s

convinrad that the English authoritil-
La5 been lax in their mode of de2lIn
with tie question ana had not aCleu VI
y1rousIy enough.
Sir Charles Tupper said the British
nlenipotentiaries were prepared 20 take
this question up, but were met on the
part Of the administration of the United
states bv the statement that the matter
had not reached the proper stage, that
the claims had not been distinctly
formulated on the part of the British
government and that the question was
undergoing diplomatic negotiation be-
tween the two governments. 1t is only
recently that fall information had
been placed in the hands of
Her Majesty's government, so as
10 enable that government to
state the amount of the claim against

ana ample reparation for all injuries
done British subjects in Canada in con-

nd no possible doubt. [Cheers.l ]
The Canadian government, he con-
tiuued, has collected most full
snd complete data by which
tbe question would be placed before her
majesty's government TO enable En-
z0ana to obtain redress for injuries in
tlfsed, and he had no hesitation in saw
rg that he was satisfied redress would

Mr.. Mitchell said that the explanation
WAS unsatisfactory to the House and to

Gian government to insist on prompt ac-

commit outrages and to put additional
