run taster than a white man. farther
than an Indian, and in both showed
that man was organized to be master of
the beast. To elucidate the last clause
OF the preceding paragraph REQUIRES the
recital Of an anecdote. Capt. Harvey
carefully attended to his company's gar
den, which on the frontier was necessary
for the comfort as we'll as the health Of
the men. The beds had been carefully
spaded and roped, when one of the
numerous dogs, a half-grown mongiel
hound, came walking across the care
ully-prepared ground, and the captains
stormlng at him In tones and language
not suited to the pulpit, frightened the
dog SO that instead of going out by the
walk ne ran across the bed toward gap
IN the fence. The captain started in
full run after the dog, which had to
jump on the fence and off it-fatal dis
parity to the dog for the captain
cleared the fence at bound, which
brought him a jump nearer to the
dog, and then he began an even run up
the long slope which led to the fort, be-
fore reaching which Harvey mastered
the dog and Rover suffered in propor-
ton to the length OF the chase. Can't.
Harvey was also bold horseman, fond
of the chase, good boatman, and skill
1ul IN the use Of a spear as fisherman.
Neither drinking nor gaming, he was
clear Of those rocks and shoals of life
In frontier garrison, and is no doubt
indebted to this abstinence for much of
the vigor he has possessed to his pres

Arrest of a Prominent Baltimore Attor-
ney Serious Charge.
BALTIMORE, May 29.-Col. William
Louis Schley, claim and pension AGENT
was arrested yesterday under an in
dictment found by the United States
grand jury, charging him with aiding in
the making, forging and counterfeiting
of voucher for the purpose of obtain
ing money from the United States.
Dist.-Atty. Hayes fixed Col. Schley's
bail at $1,000, which was fur
nished. Mrs. Laura Weaver, widow,
who was entitled to a pension, died
a year or so ago without having received
it. It is charged that her son, August
Weaver, induced Mrs. Catherine Miller
to impersonate his mother, and that
Col. Schley prepared the voucher pur.
porting to have been executed by Mrs.
Weaver, knowing at the time that Mrs.
Weaver was dead. August Weaver and
Mrs. Miller have also been indicted,
and are out on bail. Col. Schley SAYS
he did not prepare the voucher. He
has been in the pension business for
twenty. five years.

NOTHING TO NEGOTIATE.

The Government Says England Has No
Claim Whatever on Behring Sea.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 31.-So far as
can be learned there is no new phase in
the Behring Sea matter. The Presi-
dents proclamation appears to have
closed the history of the case, and it
cannot be learned that there has been
any correspondence between the gov
ernments of the United States
and Great Britain ON the sub ject.
According to the position taken by the
United States government by congress
United States over the waters of the
Alaskan side of Behring Sea is not ad :
mitted to be a subject for negotiation.
Our government simply asserts its abso-
lutte right, and admits the existence of
no question for negotiation.

Can Draw Back SALARY

CHICAGO, Ill.,, June aside from any
sentiment or feeling in the matter, the
return of W. ]. McGarigle is not bad
financial move for him. He pays a fine
of 81 ,000, and he can now prosecute his
claim for $l,87496 salary as warden OF
the county hospital, for which
he holds unpaid warrants. Against
these warrants the county has no de-
Tense nor no set-offs. 1t is supposed
that McGarigle also holds a number of
other county warrants which he bought
up from time to time during the "boo-
dle'' regime. He is now at liberty to
prosecute his claim on these.

AIeS u sensation
VICTORIA, B. c., May 3O.-It is re-
ported that British naval officer, dur
1ng the progress of a luncheon given by
a local clubman, in responding to the
toast of the navy, said in substance that
there would be some fighting
soon in Behring Sea if the
American authorities attempted to
prevent Canadian sealers from
hunting there. No attention would be
paid to the presidents proclamation,
he said, and the admiral would not only
dispute the claim of the Americans to
exclusive sovereignty in the disputed
waters, but if american cruisers should
take into custody Canadian sealers
caught fishing there the British men Of
would take steps to recapture them.
He said, further, that the admiral COM
