marvellous state. We repeated the same
experiments upon him that we had done
in the first instance. We drove steels
through his limbs and scorched the palm
of his hand with living coal. We
stopped up his nostrils, ears, eyes and
mouth and then the doctor worked on
him for half an hour or more. The effect
of death was in this case more pronounced
than in the former. The natural pallor
of the old mans face, his flowing white
hair and beard made him appear like the
carved figure of some old Indian Chief
tain in one of the royal burial grounds.
1t impressed us as though we were in the
presence of actual death and we instinc-
lively spoke in whispers.
When the doctor was tired he turned
the body over to the woman, who made
certain passes over it, and slowly ano
terribly the old man regained his senses.

OTTAWA, May 26.-The Dominion Govern
ment have Informed the owners of sealing
vessels on the Pacific coast that they can
offer no assurance that their vessels will be
free from molestation If caught by American
cruisers in Behring Sea, and that in hunting
seal in those waters they take the whole
responsibility for what may follow.
This is the outcome of the recent con-
ference at Washington. Mr.. Tupper, Min
lister of Marine and Fisheries. returned to
Ottawa greatly disappointed at the result of
his mission. He does not say how the matter
stands between Secretary Blaine and Min
lister Paunceiote, as any hint as to what has
been done would seriously impair negotia-
tions and possibly defeat any arrangement.
Acting upon the assurances of Sir John
Macdonald in Parliament recently, that
there was every reason for believing that
the Behring Sea difficulty would be salts
factorily settled, the British Columbia
sealers have gone into the business largely
on the courage received from the Premier,
who, 1t now appears, is desirous of counter
acting the evil effects his ill.advised utter
ance are likely to produce.

city happened early this morning. Messrs.
property on the south side Of the city. Re-
Gently company has been building direct
line to Sioux Falls, seven miles east. This
movement greatly doomed the east side prop
erty at the expense of the south side. There
was only one possible entrance for the line
to the city, on Tenth street. People who
own property in other portions of the town
determined that the line must not enter the
town. Sunday morning. gang OF men un-
der Pettigrew & Tate. began laying horse
car track on Tenth street. The mayor and
police appeared, and after sharp contest
induced them to quit till Monday. Sunday,
the electric motor people assembled gang
three miles east of the city. armed with
heavy wagon spokes. At half-past ten, 20
large wagons with these men dashed into
town and took possession of Tenth street.
They were ordered to lay the track peacea-
bly,, If possible, forcibly, If necessary.
The men anu wagons occupied the middle
OF the street, and the mayor and 80 police
were on the ground also. Two hose compa-
MES had laid hose in readiness for use In
case of riot. The horse car people tried to
compel them to disarm the motor company's
men, but failed. Precisely at midnight
dozen wagons passed rapidly into the street,
and dropped ties and rails, which were
quickly put in place. In fifteen minutes
three blocks were laid.
Meantime the horse car people had spiked
some rails into ties, and advancing down a
side street attempted to lay. But the other
crowd promptly seized this track and, rolling
1t end over end, smashed it to pieces. The
horse car people made no further effort, but
laid one block on an uninterested street.
Meantime the electric motor people hired a
special engine. and running to Canton, 20
miles, got District Judge Aikens and brought
him to the city just before midnight, making
the run in 80 minutes. Aiken Immediately
issued an injunction on the horse car people
and ended the fuss. The latter threaten a
long and bitter legal fight, and it is impossi-
BILE to see the outcome. The people who fa-
vor the motor line talk of making things
very warm for the horse railway company.
The latter claims that it has an exclusive
franchise for sll the streets in the city, and
that the other line will abridge its rights
in entering the town. This morning the
horse car company offer to compromise by
dividing the street. United States Senator

follow the decision made by this court more than

NEW YORK. May ga special to the

crisis in the quarrel on the so-called French
shore of Newfoundland may soon be reached.
Maddened by the neglect of the English
government, and the increasing incursions
of the French, the unfortunate fishermen of
the west coast are banding together to main
tain their rights. Under the modus vivendi
recently arrived at between the English and
French governments, the captains of the war
vessels of either country are invested with
jurisdiction over the fishermen on the French
shore, and it is claimed that the French are
taking advantag of this power to forclbly
expel Newfoundlanders from their own bays
