RETICENT ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Government Officials Decline to Talk Of
Samoa or Behring Sea.

WASHINGTON, May 3l.-State depart
ment officials absolutely decline to discuss
the Samoan conference or the Behring sea
matter. Of the former they admit that
matters are in such shape as to warrant
the expection of speedy conclusion of the
conference, the comparatively uninl-
portant details only remaining to be adj
justed. But upon the provisions of a
treaty, if a treaty has yet been drawn, they
refuse to talk further than to say the
public must receive its information re-
specting treaties in the usual course,
namely after action upon them by the
United States senate, to which body all
treaties must be submitted for approval
before they become public. The
reason for this lies in the
fact that important amendpents are
often made by the senate after treaties
have been arranged by the diplomatic
officers of the treaty power. So radical
are these changes in fact that they have
caused the fracture of pending treaties.
notable instance occurring in the last con-
gress.
So far as can be learned there is no new
phase in the Behring sea matter. The
presidents proclamation appears to have
closed the history of the case and it can not
be that there has been any correspondence
between the government of the United
States and Great Britain on the subject.
According to the position taken by the
United States government by congress
sional declaration the jurisdiction of the
United States over the waters of the
Alaskan side of Behring sea is not ad-
mitted to be subject for negotiations.
Our government simply asserts its abso-
Lutte rights and admits the existence Of no
question for negotiation.

and this Is putting 1t at a small figure.
Fully 1000 persons have been killed in one
way or another, and several of Hayti's
best men are gone. Take, for instance.
General Telemaque, who was killed at the
beginning OF the war in the street fights at
Port-au-Prince. It's been a bad war.

losses to her crops, and the Hayti coffee

TYRONE, Pa, May 31.-The Juniata
river has overlooked its banks at this
place and flooded the entire southern por-
ton of the city, causing great destruction
TO property and the streets. People living
in the flooded districts had to be removed
from their homes in wagons to places of
safety. All the railroads centering in this
place are greatly damaged by the floods.
The water has never been known to be SO
high at this place.
At Curwensville one man was drowned,
and at Clearfeld two young ladies were
drowned in trying to escape from the
flooded district.
The Susquehanna river has overfowed the
banks at Clearfield and the entire place is
under water and all means of escape cut
off. Many people have gathered in the
the court house and opera house as a place
of safety. This evening it is still raining
hard and the waters rising rapidly.

Not So Funny.

effervescence of boyish force is conducted
away from mischief making by fishing

tools. A sailboat may Quench boys
desire for sailors life, and camping
out in the woods may cool his ambition
to go west and fight the Indians. Mr..
j. I. Trowbridge, in The North Ameri-
can Review, tells how one boy learned a
similar lesson at a much greater cost.
A few years ago some youngsters in
the suburbs of Boston conceived the idea
of going west and becoming cowboys.
First, however, they thought best to get
little practice as amateurs. They would
lasso COW.
The leader, the Buffalo Bill of the
party, having to act the double part of
horse and rider, tied a clothesline to his
own waist and made a loop Of the other
end which he throw over the cows horns,
as she was quietly feeding in the pasture.
1t took her some time to find out what
the fooling meant. Then she made
things lively for the cowboy" The
part of the lasso thrower was sue
cessful, but the part Of the horse was a
failure.
He was thrown to the earth, and one
continuous streak of COW, rope, and
foolish boy went flying across the
brambly field, and over walls and fences,
to the amazement of spectators, and to
the especial profit of nobody but the
village surgeons, who were sent for,
after the rope-along with three of tic
boys ribs-had got broken.
a general impression seemed to be left
upon the youngsters that there was not
so much fun in lassoing COW as they
had expected.

GREENsBURG, Ind, May 31.-About
midnight last night the White Caps called
at the residence of Clint Drake, who re-
sides in this city, and made inquiry for
John Forster, the lover of the daughter of
the farmer who is supposed to have been
poisoned in Marion township. They were
all masked, and made a thorough search
of the house for the man they wanted.
They left, and shortly afterwards called
again, but failed to find their man. Drake
married sister of Forster. 1t is supposed
they came from Millhousen, or from that
vicinity,as some of the parties are showing
a great deal of indignation against the
two lovers, and they had reason TO believe
that they would find Forster at brakes.
Matters are growing desperate, and some
thing is likely TO drop soon.

daredevil preceded on his mercenary mis-
sion, calling upon each passenger in SIM
liar manner. AS he relieved each passen-
ger he made him walk ahead, and kept up
this programme until he had visited every
coach in the train. Having secured some
thing from every one, he backed his way
out, still holding his revolver before
him, and leaped from the train in the dark
