England has ii in mind to propose an inter.
national conference to decide whether Behring
sea is an open or closed sea. This conference
would give to the maritime powers Of Europe
the privilege Of deciding whether they should
enjoy the valuable right Of intercepting and
killing fur seals in Behring sea or whether the
exclusive right to kill the seals in these waters
is in America. The tendency Of these powers
would naturally be TO decide in their own favor.
They are interested parties in the controversy,
and their opinion in their own favor should
weigh no more than the single opposing opin-
ion Of the United States. II this country ever
submits the Behring-sea question to arbitra-
ton the arbitrators will be selected from ma
tions which are inland and shipless and dc
not covet the Alaskan seals. Other nations, II
suggested as arbitrators, will naturally be
challenged on the score Of interest.

The squabble over politics in connection with
the distribution Of the Conemaugh valley relief
fund having died down. and the threatened dis
order among the workingmen having been
quelled, a new cloud appears above the hori.
zon. The relief commission who went from
Philadelphia to the scene Of the food some time
ago decided not TO let any newspaper repre-.
sentatives accompany them; and one reporter
after having been ordered from the train by
Mayor Filter, printed q pretty severe article on
the commission, describing its trip as a junket
and its work as ineffective. Mr.. Fit!er replied
by denouncing this as mere bit Of maliciou;
vengeance, but the reporter stands by his as.
sertions and decls:es that he is prepared tc
prove them. Whatever may be the truth of the
matter, it cannot be denied that the commits
sion did an unwise thing in deciding to eject
newspaper men from their train. No reliet
commission in such case ought to have any
thing to conceal, and no attempt ct conceal
msut can be made without arousing unpleasant
comment

WHITE GAPS IN WELLS.
They Wreak Themselves on the
Domicile, as No One Was at
Home.

Home.
Special to the Globe.
,SYKEsToN, N. d., April 12.-At last
the peacefulness of our county is dis
turbed by the sudden appearance of
White Caps within its borders; though,
contrary to their usual custom, they
make themselves painfully known to
some of our citizens without the intro
ductory letters of warning. The trouble
seems to be over an insignificant portion
of Uncle Sans domain. About three
years ago one William Pinkham, an old
gentleman, filed a presumption claim.
Heiimproved the same by putting nearly
the entire quarter under cultivation.
But, as mis- family was nicely situated
on an adjoining quarter, he never took
up his residence on his presumption. A
short time ago Norwegian by the
name of Halle, at the instance of a
neighbor named HaaIand, filed pre-
emption claim over the presumption
claim of the aforesaid Pinkham. Pink
ham then changed his filing to a home
stead and moved onto the claim in dis
pute. Soon after, and on dark and
dreary night and without warning.
along comes a wagon load of friendly
neighbors to make Neighbor Halle a
visit. They failed to find him at home,
and began to leave their regrets by de-
molishing his domicile, household eff
fects, etc. Thus ends the first
CHAPTER OF WHITE CAPS.
1t seems that the clerk of the district
court, Athow, drew out the filing papers
of the claim-jumping Halle, and soon
after the close of above scene Mr..
Athow received letter informing him
of his shortcomings. and notifying him
that the same band of men, or Caps.
| that visited Halle, were ready to make
a similar visit TO any other resident of
the county who wished to meddie with
peaceful citizens affairs. All is quiet
at present writing.
Postmaster Covell still holds the
fort and gives general satisfaction to
! the patrons of the office. Two or three
petitions are out, however, to secure
! his removal on the ground that he is a
Democrat He is, therefore, resigned
| to his fate and in readiness to give up
the ghost when the sentence shall be
| gwen and execution issued.
| Weather delightful and ground in
| fine condition. Most of the farmers are
| about half through seeding. The COM
secure about 1000 bushels of wheat for
| that portion of our settlers who lost
! their crops by frost last season. There
| seemed to be plenty OF seed in the
! county, however, as the commissioners
are obtaining their supply from other
| settlers who have an OverpluS in their
| granaries. Price paid is 81 per bushel
| for No. hard.

Falls for the capital, of course, but he is
not spending his substance in pushing
her candidacy. Another might think
that the shrewd speculator was
thus dashing to and fro in the
hope of cornering some more
good corners. But all this is
incorrect. The truth is that PettigreY
is already drumming up recruits and
enlisting supporters for his senatorial,
campaign. Any one who knows Petit
Crews style of politics knows that he
never waits for anything to come to
him, and that he never sends small
boy after it, either. He always goes
himself. That is one of the secrets OF
his success in politics. He does not
work through agents. He pulls off his
coat himself and goes at men square in
the face. The other day he was at
Watertown. Gov. Mellette happened
to be there at the same time. The two
CHANGED to get together. and as result
it is said several appointments will be
made which will conduce to the politis
cal happiness of both. From now OH
Mr.. Pettigrew may be regarded as in
the senatorial race for business, and it
there are any who hope to accomplish
his defeat they had best bestir them
selves, and that at once. :;

visionary institutions never managed to
get any further than the 'tapis" stage,
so that the securing of a canning fac
tory has become quite as hoary chest
nut as the starting up of the Queen
Bee mill, or the discovery of Tascott.
This is all frankly admitted, but
Sioux Falls is to have a canning factory
here now. sure enough. A local stock
company has been organized. The
stock is placed at $4,000, all of which
has already been paid in. III. b. Kelly,
of Vinton, To-, who has managed the
Vinton canning works for the last five
years, is here to take charge. Contracts
have already been made with farmers
Tor tomatoes, string beans and corn. A
large storage room, 60X1S0 feet, two
stories high. will be built. Work on
this is to begin on Monday. The fac
tory will have capacity of
ONE MILLION CANS
annually. and will employ during the
season from $50 to 200 hands. The
idea is to can only the choicest goods
and to make the Sioux Falls canned
article as famous as her granite now is,
and as her soap is becoming. There are
no Ifs" lands" nor "peradventures"
about it now. The contracts are all in
black and white, and the average Sioux
Falls citizen feels as good about it as if
he had just realized as per cent rise on
his real estate.
Speaking of real estate reminds me
that have had but little to say of realty
of late. This was not because that arti-
Gle was becoming less prominent in the
daily life of deniZens here. but because
other things more pressing called for
treatment. Since the first of January
real estate has been very active. 1t is
easy to say this, and it means little.
The term ''active" is entirely relative
and not at all satisfactory. To show,
therefore, what is meant by the express
sion as here used, below is given a
compilation of the weekly sales since
the first of January up to date:

very successful with it. / don't know

never heard of a country where better
results could be shown for the
work of practical man. During my
eight years here l have not fed my
cattle on an average more than ninety
days each winter, and l have done this
with only the cows that ! milked:
From the increase of the 100 head that |
brought with me l have sold $4,000
