WAUKEsHA Dec. 15.-Gossips here are
talking of nothing now but the second
marriage of Addison Ressiguie and his
wife, who were divorced here about four
months ago. Mrs. Rcssiguie left here a
few weeks ago in response to tender
letter from her former husband, and now
comes the information that the twain were
married by a Cincinnati justice of the
peace The story of this separation and
consequent union, if fully told would

Another Crisis Has Been Reached in
the Negotiations With the
British Government.
Blaine and PauncefOOte Cannot Agree
on Modus Operandi to Effect
an Agreement.
The Secretary is Utterly Dissatisfied
With the Overtures Made by
Sir Julian.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-It appears
that another crisis has been reached In
the negotiations between this govern
ment and the government of Great
Britain with regard to the seal fisheries
of Behring sea. 1t is learned from q
reliable source that Secretary Blaine
intends to send to Congress within a
very few days special message on the
sub ect, which, while presenting the
communications which have recently
passed between the two governments,
will declare another failure of the sides
to agree even upon MODE of proceed
Ing to effect final agreement.
Both sides, it appears, are willing to
leave to arbitration the question of the
United States sovereignty in the
waters of the Behring Sea, and conse-
quently the right of United States cut
tiers to seize or interfere with Canadian
sealing vessels outside of the three
mile limits But they cannot agree
upon the method OF getting at this ar
bitration, and they cannot agree upon
a temporary regulation to be applied
during the time which must elapSe be-
fore the result of arbitration can be
known
The British minister proposes that
understood that all ea-huntng in any
part of the Behrng sea shall, be entire
lV prohibited during Nav and June
and from October till December. and
that during July, August and Septem-
Der no marauders shall be permitted TO
land on the seal islands, and that no
sealing vessels shall be permitted to
approach within three miles of the
islands.
Secretary Blaine is utterly dissatis-
fed with this proposition. July to
September he regarded as the very best
poaching season, and the British min
listers proposition would secure
the poachers from interior
ence outside of ten-mie limit
during that period. Besides,
Secretary Blaine is perfectly confident
that the ten-mile limit prohibition
would not prohibit, and considering the
thick fog in which the sea islands are
almost always enveloped it is by no
means certain that the mariners, who
have been in the habit of landing
stealthily on the sea islands.
would be restrained from con-
tinuance of their thieving by the
paper prohibition which Sir Julian
Pauncefote suggests. Nothing W IL
satisfy Oecretary Blaine but the appli-
cation during the months OF July,
August and September OF the out and
out order of exclusion from Behring
sea which Sir Julian suggests for the
months before and after that period.
There is the rock upon which the
negotiations split. Mr. Blaine will not
accept what is offered and Pauncefote
will not offer any more.

IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.
Ex-Banker Coolidge of Waupaca Brought
Into Court by His Creditors.

WAUPAcA, Dec. 15.-It looks as if Evan
college, the ex-banker and ex-member of
Assembly, and the present postmaster
here, was in serious difficulties through
affairs connected with the management of
his bank. Saturday afternoon Justice
Woods, of Weyauwega, issued warrants
for the arrest of E. Coolidge, which we're
served today, on the charge of receiving
money upon deposit when he knew he was
insolvent. and also On the charge of is
suing false statement of the condition of
his bank ON July7, last. The complain
ant in each case is Dewitt Wave, of this
city. who is a creditor of the defunct bank
to the extent of $4,000. Other creditors
are interested in the prosecution, and they
state their intention to follow the matter
to the end. Mr. Coolidge is now under
bonds for examination on another Grim
inal charge, similar to that in the war

JOHN DILLON SPEAKS.
The Celebrated Irishman Is Utterly Dis
gusted With ParneIPs Methods.

gusted With ParnelPs Methods.
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Mr. Dillon has
issued lengthy letter to the press as to
the more recent events In Ireland. He
says he has been from the first strongly
opposed to any personally offensive at
tacks on Parnell, although it must be adj
mitted that the cruelty unjust charges he
has levelled against the members of his
party and the extraordinary methods by
which he has sought to suppress all eX-
preston of opinion hostile to himself
renders it very difficult for his oppo-
nents to maint ain an attitude
of moderation. Dillon deprecates in
strong terms some of the language which
has been used in Ireland on both sides,
the past few days. Referring again to the
attacks on Gladstone and Morley he says
that he is convinced that there is not a
shadow of foundation for the charges
made against them. Charges which
would never have been imagined much
less uttered says he, ''but for the O'Shea
diverse case and Giadstone's letter" Dill
lon speaks of the charges against Glad
stone and Morley as gross and monstrous
insult Dillon says that his reli-
ance for satisfactory character
of the home rule bill has always
been, not on the pledges of any English
statesman, but on the honesty and indie
pendence of the Irish party, and above all
on the unity of the national feeling of the
Irish race He still has hopes that the
conference between O'Brien and Parnell
may result in restoring unity; but in the
meantime Parnell has plunged Ireland in
to a conflict which wrings the heart of
every Irishman with pain and humilia-
ton. He has done it for d personal
end, and Dillon feels bound to say
that since he has commenced his Irish
campaign Parnell has used language and
done acts revolving to every free born man,
and if he Dillon could meet Parnell in
Ireland he should tell him that unless he
very much altered his course he was nc
fit leader for nation aspiring to be free.
Dillon in closing strongly appeals to the
people In Ireland Notwithstanding the
Parnell for his past mighty work.
Will Distribute tho Funds
NEW YORK, Dec. ia circular letter
has been issueu by the Irish delegates tC
the treasurers of the funds at all points
where they have spoken. Before they left
Ireland clear understanding was arrived
at that the funds collected in America
should be used for the support of evicteo
tenants. Joseph E. Kenny and Alfred
Webb, who were appointed treasures
of the fund, have taken OPP
posite sides in the present controversy
But in every case the delegates say, we
are quite confident that the money if sent
to them will be honorably applied to the
purposes for which it was subscribed. They
therefore earnestly request that any funds
in hand be Immediately forwarded u
Dublin, payable to the joint order of
DR.. Joseph E. Kenny and Alfred Webb.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Pension After
ney Lemon was before the Raum investi-
eating committee today. He testified that
he never recommended to Commissioner
Raum the appointment of any person in
