OUR RIGHTS IN BEHRING SEA

OUR RIGHTS I'm BEHRINGs SEA-
Congressman FELTON, of San Francisco,
makes the rights of the United, States in
Behring Sea plain. he points out that 1t is
a matter of history that Russia fronq her dis.
covery of Behring Sea down to the cession to
the United States, controlled the navigation
of its waters and the taking of its marine
life. To this end her navy patrolled It, e::d
in pursuance of her laws has taken, confscat-
ed and burned maurading vessels. She has
since pursued and ia now pursuing the same
policy in her part of Behring Sea. When
Russia sold us Alaska she ceded us all her
rights in that part of Behring Sea east of a
line laid down BY the treaty. She still main
tains-and enferces-her rights on the sea
west of that line. AS to the assertion that
we joined with England in protesting against
Russian manifestoes claiming exclusive right
over the Behring Sea waters so long ago as
1891, Mr.. FELTON, states that these protests
were evidently made in reference to waters
south of the Behring Sea, and ADDS: In all
protests, correspondence, negotiations and
treaties, there is no allusion to Behring Sea,
Aleutian Islands, or to any region of country
or sea. within 1000 miles Of its eastern bor-
der; hence the sovereignty asserted and
maintained by Russia over that sea from its
discovery to its partition and oession to the
United States, period of over 140 years,
has never been officially questioned or denied;
and again, had it been Understood that the
waters of the Behring Sea and its marine life
were free to fishermen of all nations, includ-
ing ours, there could have been no incentive
on the part of our government for its pur-

TIE ELIxIR OF LIFE.

The elixir of life first made known by Dr..
Brown-Sequard continues to attract much at
tention. In various places in this country it
is being tried on Sold men who sadly need
something of the kind, and wonderful stories
are told of it's effecta But the tales about it
are not as wild as they were, and it is no
longer even asserted Mat it will make the old
stay young, and doubt is expressed as to Its
being anything more fhan temporary stim-
ulant. And DR.. Hamrnond, who was at first
quoted as unqualifedly in its favor, now
warns the people that ifs use must be very
careful unless it is desired to kill somebody.
The elixir will now, ofcourse, have full
and fair trial. and itswill not be many
months before we shall know whether OF not
valuable remedy has been added to the
physicians resources. Already there are in
dications that it will not aamount to much,
and some reputable and experienced physi-
clans are denouncing it.

The Princess of Wales has, it is said, been

ture. The Princess has taken great pride in

cipline has been extremely beneficial. The
Prince Of Wales has sometimes pleaded with
her in vain to give her daughters holiday.
She has often answered that, as they were to
hold high social positions, they had no time
to waste while acquiring social graces.

A dispatch of the 9Th from New
Brunswick, N. j., says: Last night and
this morning a fatal riot occurred at the
Sayerville brickyards, five miles below
this city. Agent E. z. Henderson with
100 men, started last night to put in a
spur from the main line of the
Raritan River Railroad across the
land of ex-Freeholder Edward Fur
man. down through the brick
yards to William +. Fishers yard. Fur
man was opposed to their crossing his
land, and called out his men. The rail-
road men were reinforced by backyard
lei favorable to the railroad until by
midnight 500 men were engaged in
the fight. Furman's men attack
ed the railroaders, and burned
the ties, material and a car.
Pistols, clubs and stones were freely
used. George Messenger, one of Fur
mans laborers, was killed outright. He
was knocked down with a club, and q
sharp pointed crow-bar was TANNED
through his head. John Kennedy, a
railroad man from South Amboy, was so
badly injured that he died in an hour.
At 4 o'clock this morning, Sheriff
Flick, of Middlesex County, called out a
posse OF fifty men and went to the
scene. Whenthey reached the place all
was quiet, and the railroad men had
stopped work to recruit their force.
The Raritan River Railroad is a new
enterprise, running from South Amboy
to Bound Brook. Gen. E. r. Ripley, of
New York, is president. Furman COM
plains that the company is crossing his
land without his consent, which the
company claims he had given.
Up to 6 O'Clock this EVENING" all was
quiet, but the railroad men, who are en-
camped in the woods near the disputed
spot, are being heavily reinforced from
all along the line, and trouble is expect
ed tonight, as both parties are deter
mined.

to fly about at such a lively rate that
they thought it the best policy to quit
also. They were received with cheers
by the strikers and taken along further

At $50 on the morning of the 1st inst.
tire broke out in the extreme upper
story of William Listman's Touring mill
and for an hour and a half the immense
structure burned with unexampled
ferceness. The mill is located Just
north ofJohn Paul's saw-miIl and yards,
and to the south of hat is G.. l..
Colman's mill. A brisk north wind
blowing at the time made the
situation the most ~precarious these
great establishments have been placed
IN since the great fire hat swept the
fire got across into the edge of Paul's
yard, and it seemed certain that every
thing must 60. kilograms were sent to
W1nona and Sparta for engines, but 1T
was two hours before they arrived,
and by hat time the limits of
the fire were defined. The mill was a
brick veneered structure with an iron
clad elevator attached, and providen-
TALLY the elevator was on the south side
where the greatest danger was. The
main structure fell half an hour before
the elevator gave way, and that burned
out like a vast chimney, the flames
shooting up into the air fifty feet from
its top.
The mili-yard swarmed with men
watching the flying sparks, and dozens
of times inclpient fires were suppressed
with pals of water. After the elevator
was over and the only other thing
burned at this point was a few piles of
lumber in the north end OF Paul's yard.
But while the danger was greatest,
word was passed that the island was on
fire. This island is below both saw
mills, mostly made land, ard used ex-
clusively by Paul & Coleman for piling
lumber. 1t is estimated there is from
20,00C. 900 to %, 100000 feet on the ISL
and, and the only ~redeeming feature of
The fire three years ago was that this
property was saved. The island has
quite a system Of water works and sew
eral watchmen, who were doing all
they could to %extinguish the flying
sparks that fell in showers all over the
island. 1t caught in two places quite
tinguished, but the other burst into
fierce flames, such as immense piles
of dry lumber only can make. At this
time fire is still burning, but its
limits are thought to be defined, and
the loss will probably amount to
100000 or 100000 feet of lum-
Der, though this is a rough estimate.
Although the burned lumber be-
longs to Mr.. Paul, and he carries a large
insurance. Listman's mill was valued
at $l25, 900 and the insurance is $50. 900.
There was but a small amount of wheat
in the elevator and all the flour was
cleaned out, except about 200 barrels.
The owners are William and Charles
Listman, G. L. and l.. G. Colman, who
are equal partners.
At IL o'clock the fire seemed to be
fully under control. The loss on lum-
Der is $4,000; nearly or quite covered
by insurance.

IMPORTANT PATENT DECISION.
The Right to Grant a Rehearing in a Case
Finally Disposed of.

Commissioner Mitchell, of the patent
office, has rendered an important de-
cision in the interference case of
| Daniels vs. Morgan, which involves
the question of the right of a pat
ent commissioner to grant a mo-
ton for a rehearing Of a case final
ly disposed of by his predecessor
excepting in the cases either of fraud,
error IN computation Or of the discov-
| cry of new evidence. On March %.
1889, Commissioner Hall, having previ-
ously heard the parties to this interior
ence, awarded priority Of invention
to Morgan. Four days later a motion
for rehearing was filed, and under the
commissioners direction the motion
was assigned for hearing April
10, following. At that time it
was fully understood by him that his
successor was to take charge or the of
fee from and after April l. The motion
for rehearing, alleging that in the for
mer decision were palpable errors of law
and fact, came before the present COM
missioner on the day fixed by the for
mer commissioner. Thereupon counsel
IOr Morgan presented a motion to dis
miss that motion of Daniels for
rehearing, stating as the ground Of
said motion, that it asks for a reconsid-
OIL az VA ~ 0OSlOAOA vi ~ iOIIu0I GULF
missioner upon the same facts and evil
dence upon which such decision was
based, contrary to Rule IA of the pat
ent office, and to the rule and practice
of all the executive departments of the
government. After an exhaustive re-
view of the case in which he cites
precedents established, the commits
sioner says: "While it NAV be
admitted that the rule limiting the right
of an administrative officer to review
his predecessors decisions may be ap..
plicable to the commissioner in his ca
pacity as an administrative officer, it is
equally clear that it is not binding upon
him in the discharge of his official du-
ties in determining questions inter
parties, in such sense that the power
of the commissioner to establish
rules and regulations is subordinate
thereto. He holds, therefore, that anle
IA is not inconsistent with the law,
within the meaning of section 4S7, Re-
vised Statutes, but is a reasonable rule
in cid of a procedure essentially judic-
ial, and therefore, the motion to dismiss
for a rehearing, Tor want of Jurisdiction,
is overruled."

IT HAS COLLAPSED.
The Copper Syndicate Goes to the Wall
The Conference.

The Conference.
BosToN, Mass. May 1.-The morning
Hercld has a three column cable dis
patch from Paris on the failure of the
copper conference. The amount of
copper Held for money advanced to the
syndicate amounts to 175 900 tons $780,
900 tons of which is in Paris an the
balance IN London. The Paris h !ers
are the Bank of France, which hs co.
00O tons, and the Rothschilds Il 1000
tons. Barring Bros. are the largest En-
glish holders.
The Rio Tinto Company insisted that
the American mines should send only
20 per cent of their surplus copper to
Europe, a proposition that Col. Liver
more, representing the Calumet &
Hecla Company, would not agree to.
The correspondent says: The confer
ence has failed to arrive at any agree
ment written or verbal and it has
broken up without fixing a price. The
American committee have left Paris in
disgust and will sail from Liverpool for
New York to-day on the Servia, and by
the time this message is printed copper
will be put on the open market and be
sold for what it will bring.
