The Fisheries Controversy

HALIFAX, N. S., December 12.- An
important move in the practical settle
ment of a vital point in the fisheries
controversy was made here. On Sat-
urday the Gloucester schooner Magyar
ton, Captain Campbell, arrived from the
banks with cargo of halibut. Under
the treaty of 1918, Captain Campbell de-
clded to enter part of his cargo here
and enter it at customs. pay the duty
and transfer the balance to Boston.
He landed 5000 pounds of packed fish
on the public wharf. right under the
noses of the customs officers, delivered
it to Phelan q Son. agents for the Bos-
ton, Halifax & Prince Edward Steam
ship Line, who shipped it for Boston.
CoDsul-General Phelan frankly admit
ted that the transshipment had taken
place, and said the fact spoke for itself.
The shipment was not made under
moduS VSVendi, but under the rights
claimed by the United States under the
bonding arrangements of the treaty of
Washington. 1t is known that Consul
General Phelan has been in constant
Geographic communication with Secre-
tary Bayard. The Dominion officials
know all about the transshipment, and
the fact that they have not interfered is
taken as an evidence that the trans
shipment is made with the appreciation
Of the Canadian government, and that
it betokens the abandonment of the
vital feature of the Canadian position.

A Fatal Explosion.

CHICAGO, December 11.-Shortly be-
fore o'clock this morning an explosion
took place in divers oatmeal mills, a
two-story brick building on Halsread
Street, near Fulton. The mill was sur
rounded by number of frame build
ings. and the roof of the mill was raised
in the air aud fell upon several of the
buildings, crushing them. No lives
were known to have been lost, however
outside of the night force employed in
the mills. Of these, Charles Miller, the
engineer, John Smith and Ernest Cas-
ter, millers, are known to be IN the
ruins. John Holmes, another miller,
was blown out of the second story into
jured. The fire which ersued lasted an
hour. The greatest damage. next to
the building itself, will be in the de-
struction of the window glass in the
vicinity. The entire fronts of building
for block, on either side of the mills,
are cracked and the windows broken.
A rough estimate places the loss at
$1,000 A battalion of twenty tiremen
and over 100 volunteers are at work.
CLEARING AWAY THE RUINS
of last nights explosion. Ernest Cas-
per, one of the three known to be dead,
was at work in the engine cupola at the
time the cupola was lifted almost en-
tire and thrown distance OF sixty
feet upon the south side Of the street
The mutilated form of Casper is some
where under the wreck. The body of
John Christensen, kiln man, the second
known victim has not been found.
Charles Miller, the engineer, is also
buried under the debris. The proprie-
tor and manager of the mill were on the !
ground early this morning, but have
been unable to learn positively the |
cause of the explosion. Each thinks
the oatmeal dust may have caused it,
put the terrific force was unprece-
tented if this theory be accepted. No |
,ther reasonable explanation is offered,
Plate glass was shattered

Arraigning Cleveland.

Concord, n. H, Sept. 4.-The
Republican State Convention to-day
nominated David III. Goodell for
Governor. Chairman Haynes, in
speech, made a bitter arraignment
of President Cleveland and his admin
istration- He said
The murderers who occasionally
find their way to the scaffold in this
State are probably no better and no
worse than the two who have been
commissioned by Grover Cleveland
to assist in his great work of refor
ing the government. The forgers
inside the walls of cur prison are
probably quite as accomplished
gentlemen as the seven who have
been notified by Grover Cleveland
that ''reposing especial confidence
and trust IN your loyalty, honesty
and integrity, we hereby appoint
you" etc.
For every known and convicted
criminal today held by yonder prison
we can name his counterpart in crime
nominated to public Office by the
President. There are murderers and
forgers, robbers and thieves, EN-.
bezzlers and wife beaters, bribers and
blackmailers, and so on through the
list, and they numbered at the last
count 21S, with several back districts

-nr Editor: feel like congratu-

abundant crop they have harvested
this year.
We, too, have had a great yield of

surplus is greater than ever before,

David Henry Dodd, Berlin, n. Y
Was called an S-foot giant and his
actual height was feet and 3 inches
That made him valuable for show
purposes had he consented to become
an exhibit in the museums; but he
could not bring himself to that, al
though he was farm laborer, and
might have multiplied his income by
changing rural labor for public idle
pess- About two years ago he hired
himself out to Barnum. but a week
of experience with the circus as the
new Goliath was all he could stand
He couldn't bear to be gszed at and
commented on, and not afterward
did he quit his mountain home.
I'VE would gladly have kept him"
says Theodore Hamilton. one of
Barnum managers, but he really
was SO nervous when looked at that
1 guess heidi have died of st. Vitus'
dance if he hadn't quit"
There has not, in many years, been
a better opening for a giant than
now, so the showmen say. ANY man
who measures seven feet and q half
can almost fix his own price. That
stature has never been exceeded so
far as modern authentic history tells,
except by Chang, the Chinaman,
whom Batnum exhibition for several
years. He lacked only three inches
of being eight feet. Chang was an
educated Mandarin of refined tastes,
and after accumulating $4,000,
enough to make him a Vanderbilt In
China, he retired to his native land
No offers have since tempted him to
become an exhibit again, and he used
to declsre that only desire to journey
in all civilized lands induced him to
make his tour, which lasted six years
Peter Feketi, the Hungarian giant
whose death was reported last week,
was to come to America ne xt Winter
He was seven feet four and very
heavy. The American giants of re
cent times, Captain Bates, Captain
Goshen and Anna Swan, were all
less than that In statute, and they are
all dead of consumption, the common
destroyer of such overgrown persons.
There Is not at present in the show
business In this country, according
to the manager of the largest museum
in New York, a giant exceeding seven
feet, counting out his hair and boot
heels. So the deceased David Henry
Dodd was a man who wouldn't i'm
prove his good opportunity.

London stating that the new treaty
between this country and China bad
been rejected by China, Boss Scott,
Clevelands Congressional henchman
on the 4th, inst, hastily offered a
bill to exclude the coming of Chinese
workmen into the United States

it would not pass the Senate, and by
its failure to pass that body the shout

Iy kept up against Harrison from
this to the end Of the campaign.

Scott issue the bill for electioneering
purposes News, however, has been
received at Washington that the re-
mort of the failure Of the treaty In
China, was not correct, that the Chi

Why we claim the Senator.

W. C. PoMERor has many friends
who are desirous of seeing him re-
ceive the nomination for State Sena-
tor and among letters received from
his friends we publish the following /:
We claim that Juniata county is
entitled to the Senator at this time,
notwithstanding Perry and Mlffiln
both present candidates, Mr.. Pome-
rov should have the nomination with

tom within this Senatorial District
To rotate the office-and both parties
followed this rule until four years
aro-It had been the custom hereto
fore to have the candidates OF both
parties from the same county. In
1873 DR.. ID. NJ Crawford and John
Balsbach of Juniats were the contes-
tants. In 1880, Chas- H. Smiley
and Mr.. Markle of Perry were the
In 1884, Chas- H Smi-
lev of Perry and Col Selheimer of
Mifiiu were the contestants. In
1884 AIifiin county according to our
former rule Was entitled to the Re
publican nomination, but made no
claim for it and transferred her right |
to the same to Mr. Smiley of Perry |
The Democracy followed the old rule
and nominated Col Selheiner of Mif-
film county. Now in 1855, Juniata
by right and justice should have the
nominee for Senator-and her peo-
pie claim the same not only because
it would be. Just, but that it woul d
be expedient. 1t Is more than like
ly the opposition will take their can
didate from Junista-and We should
have ours here also to combat his IN
fiuences. We say to the Conference
of this district, nominate William G.
Pomeroy the choice of Junists, and
you Will have a candidate who will be
strong before the people. and one IN
whose election we are confident.
