BEHRING SEA.
England and the United States Likely to
Have Trouble,


Have Trouble.
OTTAWA, June 24th.-It is stated in Off
cial circles that no notice will be taken at
present by either the Dominion or British
Governments in regard to protecting Brit
ish sealing vessels in BehriDg Sea. The
question as to the right of the United States
to exclusive jurisdiction, will for the pres
emf, DE held in allegiance, as on good au-
thority it is learned that the British Gov
eminent is seeking the cooperation of sew
eral maritime powers of the world with a
view to joining in dispute of the United
States claim, and in reference to the cues
ton of arbitration. The British Govern
ment requested the Dominion Government
to take no action until a settlement had
been arrived at in this way.
1t is stated that several of the maritime
powers which have been invited to take
part in the settlement support the conten-
ton of the British Government that the
Behring Sea is not a close sea.
1t is also stated that claims for damages
through the seizure of British sealers by
United States cruisers will also be sub
mitted to arbitration when the question of
jurisdiction is taken up.

Gil to-day. City Attorney Mcfarland
handed in an opinion on the petition of
the labor organizations to avoid contract
labor on the proposed building of the
sewers, in which it decides against the
petitioners. Carl Browne, of the Cactus, re-
piled, scorching the City Attorney pretty
severely, when Mcfarland called Browne
blackmailer and liar. In turn Browne re-
ferred to Mcfarland as blathersk!te. Both
men were greatly excited and were edging
close to each other, when member of the
Council put stop to the proceedings. 1t is
highly probable the men will come together
this afternoon. when trouble is expected.

rho Fata of tha Rnnaln.

Twenty years ago there roamed over
the plains and mountains of the far
West nearly $4,000 buffaloes. To-day
there are less than 500 head of the animals
in existence. There are but eighty-fve
head of wild buffaloes, 304 alive in cap
tivity, and about 200 under the protec-
tion Of the Government in Yellowstone
Park. There is also said to be about
$50 head in the British possessions,
north of Montana, but this is rumor.
OF the eighty-fve head of wild buffaloes
which are known to exist, twenty-five
are in Texas, twenty in Colorado,
twenty-six in Wyoming, ten in Mon
tana and four in Dakota. The statistics
have been carefully gathered by the
officials of the Smithsonian Institution.
and 1T is absolutely known that the
number stated comprise all the wild
buffaloes Of the world The skeletons
OF the numerous herds of a score of
years ago are bleaching on the Western
plains, tribute to the powers of the
American Nimrod.

"Put my face on his, Susy; yes, I

They lifted her face to his; his eyes

quietly go to sleep.
And in that sleep she crossed the river

it's no use saying that l ever shall try

Deacon Hawley stood that November
wrapped up in fluffy comforters, shaggy
great-coats, and knit blue and white
mittens, looking like a great huge
medieval giant, with nothing visible but
his bright steel-blue eyes, the tip of his
nose, and a great deal of grizzled beard.

Matilda had just finished off a batch of
mince pies, old-fashioned gingerbread
and cranberry tarts, with the luscious
crimson pulp prisoned beneath bars of
snowy crust. There they stood in
tempting array, while Matilda herself, a
tall, blooming maiden of twenty, in a
striped calico dress, with her curls fast
ened back into net, was pouring some
sort of golden batter into a colony Of
small tin patty pans, to make the cup
cakes in which the deacons soul de-
lighted.

AMAZED The HEARERS.
Two Ministerial Plagiarists Preach tn,
Same Sermon in Succession,

succession
Two village newspapers up this way
are exchanging stories of their expert
ences in reporting plagiarized sermons,
says Middletown correspondent of the
New York Sun. The Gardiner Weekly
set out by telling of church in that vii
lage whose pulpit is supplied by two
preachers from neighboring towns on
alternate Sundays. The other Sunday
Pastor A. filed the pulpit and preached
an unusually brilliant and effective SER
mon. The next Sunday Pastor B. in
turn occupied the sacred desk, and
amazed the congregation by preaching
word for word the sermon they had
heard from Pastor As lips week be-
fore. 1t is intimated that each had
cribbed the discourse from an old book
of sermons and had preached it from the
same pulpit in serene confidence that
the plagiarism would never be found
out.
The Ellenville Journal matches this
story by another of a clergyman in that
village who brought to the Office the
manuscript of sermon he had preached
the previous Sunday, and procured its
publication as original with him. A day
or two later somebody handed the editor
q New York paper with the alleged
original sermon reported in its columns
as having been preached by an eminent
Brooklyn divine month before.
A similar incident relates to an elo-
quent and much-admired discourse
preached by another Ellenville clergy
man. Before publication day." says
the editor, ''we stumbled upon a sermon
In an old magazine, printed thirty years
before. We gave out two pages Of the
old magazine to the compositors, and
printed the matter in the Journal as a
report Of the eloquent discourse we had
listened to on the previous Sunday. We
were rewarded by receiving from the
preacher cordial congratulations on the
strict accuracy Of our report of his Sc

DAN REMEMBERED HIM.

a Horse Recognizes o Friend Whom He
Has Not Seen for Years.
Taverner tells a good story in the
Boston Post apropos of the subject Of
memory in horses: happened to be the
witness of an odd scene the other day
which, when recounted, may possibly
amuse the reader. One of those not in
frequent, but must confess usually fic-
titious necessities had arisen which
take me TO stable-on this occasion to
large establishn ant in the vicinity of
Chardon street. 1t was about FIVE O'Clock
in the afternoon and various people
were starting for home, among them a
man and woman who had remarkably
intelligent-looking gray horse. just as
he began to trot down the lane by which
the stable is reached from the street, q
stout party" who, I noticed, had been
watching the gray very intently, sud-
denly cried out in loud voice: Dan,
don't you want piece of cake2' The
horse stopped short, pricked up his ears,
looked around and uttered q faint
whinny of recognition and assent; nor
would he go on until the stout man had
come forward and explained his inter-
ASASAS. ~ oPPOoEO0 tudt several years
before he had brought the horse from
Vermont, where he had owned him for
some time, and as the beast was par
ticularly docile he had taught him the
true sense of the question, the sudden
asking Of which brought the animal to
a standstill. 1t is well known that
horses never forget person or place,
and scarcely an event. No matter how
much time has elapsed or how greatly
the horse may have changed in disposi-
ton, one word from former master will
establish Immediately the old relation
between them.
