The Conemaush Calamity.

II is impossible to realize the magnitude
| of the Conemaugh valley disaster. We
! know that thousands Of lives were lost, and
many millions of property destroyed in the
short space Of an hour or two, but we can
not realize the agony those endured who
were caught in the rushing food, or i'm.
| priSoned in burning houses and on the burn.
ing bridge, with no way open Il
escape. We cannot appreciate the
greatness of the sorrow that fills
the hearts of thousands who have lost
wives, husbands, children, brothers and
sisters In mechanical sort of way we
say that not only have thousands of fami-
lies been rendered homeless, but that death
has entered thousands of households. and
IN some instances, taken one or more of
their members, and in others left only one
or two, or none, TO mourn for the dead, but
this conveys no idea of the actual condition
of affairs. We cannot comprehend fully a
calamity in which entire families were de-
stroyed and their homes wholly blotted out
of existence.
The beautiful homes and the thriving
towns which dotted the valley. where are
theys They, and the well-cultivated farms
which surrounded them, have disappeared
almost as completely as if the earth had
opened and swallowed them. Here and
there are seen heaps Of ruins left by the
receding flood. Everywhere there is death
and desolation.
Those who escaped are heartbroken. The
most of them have lost some portion of
their families and all of their property.
Hundreds of them will never see the faces
Of their loved ones who were lost, because
the bodies of many of the victims have beea
consumed in the burning debris, and de-
composition will make it impossible to recog-
nlze other victims when they are found.
The suggestion of the physicians that the
debris should be permitted to burn in order
that the bodies contained IN it might be
consumed, seemed like heartless one. but
was it not a wise one? Nothing can be
done for the dead, but much can be
for the living. Those who inhabit
the valley must remain there.
They must rebuild their homes
and restore the places laid waste. 1t will
be days before the bodies can all be re-
covered from the debris, arc, in the mean
time, they will decompose to such an ex-
tent as to cause sickness Exposed as the
people are, and broken down with grief,
they will be very susceptible to disease. If
the air becomes infected with poison the
horrors of typhus fever epidemic
may be added to the calamity that has be-
fallen them.
1t seems almost impossible that there
should be men 50 depraved as to rob the
dead at such a time of distress and disaster.
Those Of the thieves who were caught were
dealt with as they should have been. The
fear Of death alone could keep them from
the nefarious work.
1t will be weeks before the full extent of
the calamity is known. A census will have
to be taken TO reach the number of the lost.
There are those who believe the number of
the victims will be between 5000 and
$1,000. 1t is to be hoped that this estimate
will be shown to have been far too large.

Congressman Houk, of Tennessee, will
probably sue in vain for favors from Presi-
dent Harrison. Some years ago the Pres-
dents brother, Carter, wanted to be inter-
nal revenue collector in Tennessee. Gen.
Harrison presented his application to Presi-
dent Garfield, who gave him reason to
believe it would be favorably considered.
The recommendation of Congressman
Houk was needed, however, aud this Mr..
Houk readily promised, but he failed to
keep mis- promise. When Gen. Harrison
next called at the white house about the
matter he found that Houk had recon-
mended some one else. The general was
greatly put out, and he withdrew his
brothers application. He probably remem-
bers these things. and no doubt Mr.. Houk
does, too

The movement in behalf of cotton bag
ging as substitute for jute bagging seems
to be progressing satisfactorily, and the
chances are that it will be successful. The
jute trust viii have itself to blame if it
finds big supply of bagging on its hands
at the end Of the year. Last year it was
grasping. 1t wanted to make an enormous
pile of money in a very short while. This
year it has deemed it expedient to reduce
its prices. but in view of last years expert
ence the farmers don't feel as if they want
to have anything to do with jute bagging.
The general use of cotton bagging would
greatly increase the consumption of cotton.

Some weeks ago NJ. Pasteur, the great
French scientist, said that there was no eff
cacy in mad stone, but he probably did
not expect every body to believe him, or, if
he did, he expected more than he had a
right to expect. The mad stone is still
being applied to persons bitten by animals
affected with hydrophobia. One of the
latest cases is that Of an Indiana man, who
sent to Kentucky for a mad stone which
was applied to the wound; and at last &C
counts it was said to have drawn most of
the poison from it. The belief in the vir-
tue of the mad stone is strong, Ialthough it
hasn't much to rest upon.

The Behrlng Sea Question.

The state department refuses to saw
whether there is any correspondence in
progress between England and the United
States relative to the latter's claim of ex-
elusive jurisdiction of Behring sea. The
probability, however, is that there is no
such correspondence, and that England is
not preparing to question the claim of this
country. She has had ample opportunity
to deny this claim, and, doubtless, would
have done so before this time if she had any
intention of denying it,
This country claims only what Russi 81
conceded by treaty in 1867. Since that
time the treasury department has twice
decided that this county has jurisdiction of
Behring sea and England has made no pro-
test. In 1881 it was reported to that official
that unauthorized persons were taking seal
in Alaskan waters, and he had notice pub
lished in all the Pacific coast papers pro-
hibiting the killing of fur bearing animals
within Alaska territory or the waters
thereof, or on the islands of st. George and
st. Paul. In 1886 Secretary Manning re-
peated this decision. 1t would seem that
England would have dissented from it if
Canadian vessels, engaged in taking seal
in Alaskan waters, have been seized by our
revenue cutters, and, in one instance, three
of them were condemned by the United
States district court of Alaska Their
counsel pleaded that the court had no iuris-
diction of the subject matter of the action.
because the vessels, when seized, were more
than three marine leagues from the shore.
This plea was overruled and Judgment
given against the vessels. The vessels were
subsequently, released by executive author
ity, because of defect in the act creating
the court which rendered the Judgment of
condemnation.
The situation, therefore, seems to be about
this: The United States has constantly as
serted jurisdiction over Behring sea, and
England has raised no question about it.
When vessels carrying the British flag have
been seized in Behring sea for taking seal
their counsel has asserted their right to do
SO provided they did not approach the
shore nearer than three marine leagues. If
it be true that three British cruisers have
been ordered TO Behring sea to protect
English vessels in taking seal there the
probability is that the right of the United
States to the exclusive jurisdiction Of that
sea will soon be the subject of controversy
between the two countries.

THE NICENE CREED.
A Disputed Clause Attacked in the Epls-
copAl Convention.

". y Sun.
1t is rather strange to see theological
controversy which convulsed the Christian
wcrld for six centuries, and finally ended
in the separation OF the Eastern from the
Western Church, revived at this late period
here in New York. The Episcopal General
Convention was occupied for two days last
week 10 discussing what is known as the
flioque clause Of the Meme Greed, the op-
position 10 that clause on the part OF a
few members Of the Convention, who cher
ish the project of union between the
Greek aud the Anglican Churches, taking
the form of an opposition to the entire
creed. The victory was overwhelmingly
on the side of the defenders Of the creed,
flioQue clause all, but that an effort was
needed to achieve it ia remarkable.
TIE creed in its original shape, as
adopted by the Council of Nice in the
year 327, is accepted not only by ortho-
dox Protestants, as we'll as by the Roman
Catholic Church, but also by the Greek
church. In some unexplained manner,
however, the words fliOque, signifyiDg that
the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Son as
we'll as from the father, were added to it
at a later date, and are now generally re-
gsrded as a part Of its text, By Protest
ants and Roman Catholics alike, while
they are vehemently rejected by the
Greek Catholics.
OF the nice theolC gical point involved in
the controversy, it is of course out of cur
province TO express an opinion, and We
speak of it only 10 dispsl the erroneous
idea which has got abroad, that the whole
creed, and not merely this disputed clause,
was attacked by those who spoke and
voted sgainst making its recital obi
gatOry.

WASHINGTON, D. O, October S.-For
the second time in the history of the Uni
ted s;atss Government, according to old
residents, police were to-day stationed
around the White House grounds to ex-
clude American citizens. The first occa-
sion was on the fifth of last March, the
day after President Harrison's Inaugural
ton. Then the police prevented the pub
lie from entering the grounds, and subse-
auently when complaint was made the re-
sponsibility was laid on Russell Harrison,
son Of the President, it being alleged that
he had the police stationed without the
knowledge or authority Of the his father.
To day the thing was repeated. During
the forenoon a Gordon Of police was placed
around the White House grounds and
Thousands of American citizens were pre-
vented from entering. Benjamin Harrison
enioys the distinction of being the first
President whoever surrounded himself by
police TO exclude from public grounds the
people who had elected him. Mr.. Hal
ford, of the Associated Press, brother of
the Presidents Private Secretary, had to
explain that he was newspaper man and
show his eredetials to get in TO the grounds.
