The seizure of Canadian railway cars at
Detroit has been entirely eclipsed by the seiz.
ure of five miles of the track of the st. Croix
& Penobscot railway, a road which runs
from Calais, Me-, up the st. Croix valley to
Princeton, in the same state. At Barring the
road crosses the St. Croix river into New
Brunswick, and for five miles is undoubtedly
within Canadian territory. The road has
been built for some years, but the question
of collecting duty on the materials originally
used in construction has never been raised,
although they were wholly imported from
the states. Recently, however, the line was
entirely reftted with new ties, rails, fasten.
ings and a telephone service. In bringing in
to Canada the materials used in reftting the
line, no representations were made to the
Canada customs department, and according.

have been seized by two officers from st.

burn il such as to cause the gravest appre-
tensions of his family and friends concerning
his recovery from the illness which has pros
trated him since the eventtul evening OF the
caucus. His exertions during the campaign
were too much for his constitution, and when
the end came he was completely Frustrated,
and his nervous system was unable to sus-
tain the tension to which it had been subject
ed. With q relaxation of the active work
there was q complete collapse and the dis.
tinguished Mill City citizen has been confined
to his bed ever since the result of the caucus
was announced. Although it was generally
known that Mr.. Washburn was i'll, the Sc
rious nature Of his sickness has been carefully
concealed from all save his intimate friends.
One of the causes assigned for his illness is
over indulgence in cigars, a habit to which
he was unaccustomed, and it is well known
that during the contest for the senntorship
1t was very rarely that Mr.. Washburn was
visible in the rotunda of the Merchants with
out q cigar in his mouth.

The Samoan Affair.

The Baltimore Suns Washington corre-
spondent had an interview with Secretary
Bayard on the Samoan question. Mr.. Bayard
says the question for Americans to consider
is whether we shall continue to maintain
neutrality as between Mataafa and the Ger
man or assume the role of belligerents to-
wards Germany in behalf ofthe two claimants
to the throne. This far Germany has given
us absolutely no cause for war. The flag
which was burned in Samoa was not hoisted
in assertion Of American rights. There is no
analogy between the cases OF Samoa and
Hayti.

Handwriting ON the Wall,
Cincinnati Dispatch.

A young woman's boarding school,
in this city is just at present discuss
ing the practical joke which a few Of
the pupils played on one ofthe teach
.ers who is far from popular. Two
of the girls gained access to her room
the other afternoon and painted in
phosphorus on the wall facing the
head of her bed this thrilling inscrip-
ton: "This night shalt thou surely
de-" - .'
About 10 o'clock that night the
teacher retired and the girls watched
for her light to go out. 1t was some
time before this happened, and then
there was a profound silence ofabout
three minutes. When this was
broken. it was shattered all to pieces
by a blood-curdling yell which rang
through the building to it's farthest
confines. A rush was made for the
room of the ancient maiden, the
continued shrieks serving as a
guide.
One of Impractical jokers led the
procession and Immediately struck q
light. The teacher was found fat
on the floor with her face firm, still
screaming, what's the matter?'
said another teacher who now made
her appearance. With some difficulty
the victim was led to explain. But
as there was now q light no signs of
the inscription were visible.
The teacher was induced to look
for herself but, though the letters
were gone, she felt assured that the
Almighty had serveda summons ON
her as he did on Belchazzar Of
Babylon. She was put to bed and
another teacher Hgreed to sleep with
her to keep her quiet. As soon us
the light went out both women
yelled more piercingly than before.
This time the principal determined
on an Investigation. The wall was
examined and the causecof the nlys-
terious inscription ascertained. The
school is talking and laughing over
it and the obnoxious teacher is look
