THE BEHRING SEA DISPUTE.
The Number Who Would Separate Cam
ada From the Mother Country.

LONDON, Aug. 1o.-The Behring sea dispute
has had one effect in England, that of greatly
increasing the number OF English who would
gladly see the dominion separated once for all
from the mother country. Several times the
people of Newfoundland, by their conflicts
with the French fishermen, have nearly en-
broiled England and France and there does
not appear to be any prospect that the Cana
dians will ever be on friendly terms with the
people of the United States. The intense
hatred between the English and French fac
tions has also created much uneasiness at
home.

FALSE REPORT OF INDIAN OurRAaEs.-Adjt.

Gen. Kelton has received a telegram from Gen.
Miles at San Francisco informing him that the
commanding general of the Department of the
Columbia telegraphs that Capt. Luhn, fourth
infantry, sent with his company to Calispel,
outrage, reports, under date of August Z. that
there we're no haystacks burned and no threats
made by the Indians. Some land was burned

was started by the Indians. Capt. Luhn has

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON. Aug. 10.-Mrs Maybrick monopolizes
the public attention. No case for twenty years
has excited SO much interest. The defense
was very able, but Judge Stephen secured a con-
viction. The very impartiality of his way OF
putting things added to the force of the strong
opinion he had formed on the evidence. The
popular agitation against hanging her owing
to the element of doubt will add great weigh,
to the movement against capital punishment.

THE ARGUMENT Is
that il public feeling is against an irrevocable

that il public feeling is against an irrevocable
sentence in the absence of such certainty it is
better to have no death penalty at all. The
agitation is partly due to an unreasoning SYM
pathy with Mrs. Maybrick. A curious freak OF
popular feeling is erecting her into a heroine.
Ladies are prepared to present her bouquets and
people praise her fortitude. Yet even if inno-
cent Of a cold-blooded murder, she is guilty on
her own showing of carrying on intrigues from
her husbands death bed and helping him to
poison himself. The agitation is very strong
and includes several leading barristers and doe
tors, but Matthews, the home secretary, is un-
likely to yield to coercion. He will form an
independent judgment and stick to it. His
success in the Llpski case where the prisoner g
confession followed his refusalk kof areprieve,
will stiffen him considerably.

An article In Truth unkindly suggests that
Joe Chamberlain, from his past success in nego-
tiating fishery treaties, be appointed a royal
commissioner with full power to settle the diff
ferences arising from the rivalries of the
press on his American experience or a suspi-
cion that he was over-reached by the cunning
Yankees has greatly changed Mr. Chamber
lain's political and social status. His associa-
tions now are altogether with the aristocracy,
and his Transatlantic acquaintances will be
grieved to hear that he does not hesitate to
pronounce the United States an awful example
to the people of Europe, and repubicanism a
gigantic and dismal failure.
WATER FAMINE THREATENED
A water famine is threatened in Vienna,
where the warnings of the engineers have been
disregarded for years. The city is now brought
face to face with the certainty of a short water
supply in the dry winter months, while at
present and for some time past only the most
stringent regulations, enforcing economy on
the part OF householders, preserves the daily
supply, and that only for the most crying ne
cessitles. New works are talked of, but nothing
has been done, and these when decided on
will take several years to complete the city in
the meantime will be in desperate plight.
The French minister of agriculture in his re-
port just made public greatly deplores the ex-
termination Of the swallows in France, which
has taken place within the past two years. The
farmers, he says, now greatly miss these useful
insect destroyers. Two years ago the feathers
and wings of these birds came into vogue for
ornaments for women's hats. and the swallows
were slaughtered by Wholesale.

CHAPTER VII.
"MOSS COTTAGE.

1t is all over. Coming down is
not as bad as we thought it would
be. We can realize only about so
much sorrow or disappointment. AT
ter that we are indifferent to any in
crease. The sudden death of my
father had stunned and stupe6ed u.s.
Loss of property. change of plans,
descent in the social scale seemed
nothing in comparison with the great
calamity which had befallen us.
The affairs of the estate seemed
to be in as bad a condition as the
Deacon had feared. Everything was
sold except the little Moss Cottage
and furniture enough to make it
comfortable. What could not be
disposed of at private sale was sold
at public auction | tried hard to
induce my mother and sister to spare
themselves the trial of witnessing the
sale and formal breaking up of our
home They insisted however, up
on going through it all. My mother
did not shed a tear in presence of
any one How much she wept alone,
I know not. Little sister Nellie
bore up bravely till they sold her
pony. She could endure no more,
but burst out crying, and went into
the house of neighbor till the auc-
ton was finished That night we
took tea for the first time in our new
home.
1t had been arranged that l should
go into the bank next day as book
keeper No one knows the struggle
it cost me to give up my college
course, but still | felt that it was
right that I should earn bread for
the family, and so | gave it up.
And l gave it up cheerfully; not even
my mother knew the severity of the
conflict between inclination and duty
When Deacon Johnson asked the
president to give me place in the
bank, he replied: eyes, there is a
vacancy; John has good blood; he
is honest; l am glad he has pluck
enough to go to work and support
the family; he can have the place.
So my future seemed to be decid-
ed. We were to begin life at the
bottom of the ladder, and struggle
with poverty. My fathers mansion
and that of the president of the bank
had stood side by side; naturally we
had moved in the highest circle of
society. We had a great deal of
company, large circle of acquaint-

ances. When we sold the family
mansion, and moved into small
cottage at the edge of the village,
when we disposed If our carriage
and dismissed our servants, it was
for our friends, of course, to choose
whether they would visit us in our
new home. 1t was for them to de-
eide whether the acquaintance should
continue.
The president, who was always a
man of few friends, had appeared
more friendly since our loss of prop
erty. But | could not help asking
myself the question whether our
our change of circumstances would
have any effect on his daughter, to
whom l was engaged, and who was
very high spirited and sensitive as to
what the world might say or think.
But was not left long in doubt.
Before the tea-table was fairly clear
ed, she came as usual without any
ceremony, and her first exclamation
was: "How coy, you will be just as
happy as you were in the big house;
| am afraid | shall come too often. !"
'rrhe little cottage will be a good
place to slit our friends said my
mother.
eff that is to be the test of friend
ship. | am glad / am the first visitor, :"
said Mary cheerfully.
My heart felt lighter. We gath
cred round the open fire, and were
really happy. AS We walked toward
her home together, I said to her:
"Mary, we were engaged when our
circumstances were very different; /
will release you now, if you desire it. "
"You had no choice in regard to
the matter, you did not make the
circumstances, and you are not res
ponsible for them. was engaged
to y0u, not to your fathers Money!.
However, if yen wish to make it an
excuse for breaking our engagement,
l am ready" she said somewhat
sharply.
"Why. Mary; you are cruel to sug-
gest such an idea," I said hastily.
"And you are cruel to suspect me
of such supreme selfshness, as to dis
card you, when misfortune and ca
lamity have seemingly united to
crush you. l thought you knew me
better, John AS she finished the
sentence, she raised her eyes to
mine; they were full of tears.
need not tell you my answer. It
was satisfactory to her; it might
sound silly to disinterested party.
But there was one thing for which
| was not prepared A few of our
former friends were even more in
innate and social than before our
misfortune, but the greater part of
our acquaintance never darkened
the doorway of our little cottage
We were the same, but our circum-
stances had changed. They were
the same, but we knew them better.
The loss of our property had carried
us down long distance in the social
scale.
Continued nest aOeek.

was too great to continue. Mlstor-
tunes seldom come single. It will
be hard for the children; they know
but little of the bitterness of poverty"
Thus far only the Deacon and my
mother had spoken. Nellie and |
had listened in silence and astonish-
ment. AS the Deacon rose to de-
part, turning to me, he said: "John,
if you will step into my house in the
morning, we will look over the pa
pers together. You may be able to
see things in different light"
He went out. There was long
silence. My mother was the first to
speak. "Well John, this is sudden,
unexpected, but not SO bad as it
might be. 1t is doubtless all for the
best. I am glad you are SO nearly
through college,
eff things are as they appear to
be, | shall not return to college," |
replied "My duty is plain; my
place is here; my books must be laid
aside; | must earn my bread. "
No, John, she said quickly, "you
must not sacrifice yourself for us; it
is not right; your father would not
wish it.
"My father said to me the e5ening
before he brought you here, If | live
I expect you to love your new mother
and sister; if | die, | expect you to
take care of them. The latter con-
tingency has now come. | think it
will be my duty to give up my col
lege course
This | said firmly. but sadly My
little sister q shall always call her
little-she was then thirteen years of
age) who had not spoken after the
Deacon came in, threw her arms
around my neck aud said: Johnny,
| Go not care if we are poor, if you
will only stay at home all the time.
We will sell the big house and live in
Moss Cottage We will dismiss all
the servants and | will wash the
dishes. We will sell the carriages,
and walk instead of riding We will
wear our old clothes, and take a
back seat in church." Her words as
| now remember seem like prediC-
tons
My mother rose, took the old Bi
BILE, sat down in her accustomed
place and said: "Children, we will
not decide anything tonight. it is too
sudden, it is too unexpected, the cir
cumstanCes are too new and strange
for us to come to any definite decis-
ion. We shall do we'll to ask Jesus
before we make any radical changes.
1t will be best to sleep before we
form any plans for sthe future. I
know what poverty means; | know
what hardship is; | know how
friends desert one when riches fail.
"You know nothing about such
things, but l hope you will both be
able to endure cheerfully whatever
may be before you. 1t may be that
God saw that we had SO many bless
ings that we did not appreciate them

favorable to the development of no.

whole case with Jesus She opened
the Bible and read few verses from
the 14th chapter of Johns gospel.
She then bowed, and talked with
