HAS NO JURISDICTION.
A British Columbia Decision ON tho Boring
Sea Matter.

Sea Matter.
Justice Drake, Of the British Columbia
supreme court, has rendered q decision
which declares that the government of the
United States has no jurisdiction over
Bering sea outside of the marine league
limit. The question came before the court
in civil suit brought by Henry Baxter, Of
Seattle, Wash., against Solomon Jacobs,
Of Victoria, for violation Of sealing con-
tract. Jacobs is the owner Of the schoon-
ers Mollie Adams and Webster. In Janu-
ary, 1889, Jacobs contracted to sell to
Baxter; in Seattle. at stipulated price.
all the sealskins taken by his two vessels
during that year. The schooner Webster
was lost in storm, but in April, 1883, the
Mollie Adams delivered her seasons catch
to Baxter. A verbal agreement was then
entered into by Jacobs and Baxter to
the effect that the Mollie Adams was
to return and take seals in Bering
sea and deliver the skins to Baxter at the
price stipulated in the contract. The
Adams went to Boring sea. and returned
last November, but instead Of delivering
the skins to Baxter Jacobs sold them in
Victoria. Baxter then brought suit against
Jacobs for damages by breach Of contract.
The defense held that the contract was
not valid. as sealing in Bering sea- was in
violation Of the United States statutes,
and called Mr.. johnson, Of Port Town
send, as legal expert to establish in court
the American law relating thereto. He
read sections Of the statutes governing
such cases, the amendments enacted by
congress in 1889 and the presidents procla-
nation. The court, however, decided that
the contract was valid and refused to
recognize the jurisdiction of the United
States in Bering sea outside Of one marine
league from shore of American territory.
1t as held that the law existing where the
contract was made had no bearing in court.
Baxter was awarded $4,19l damages. Both
defendant and plaintiff are American citi-
Gems and the schooner is an American ves-

a SOUTH DAKOTA SUMMARY.
Touch the Railroads Gently.

At a special meeting of the Aberdeen
Commercial club the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Reports from the state legislature
now in sessi at Pierre indicate disposition
on the part of some of the members to intro
duce measures that in the opinion Of the mem
bers Of this club viii be fatal to the progress
and Advancement Of railroads, which are 30
necessary to the future development tf our
state: therefore be il
Resetyed, By the members of the Aberdeen
Commercial club that they believe the
railroads should be let alone for the present.
By their liberal donations TO the needy
and suffering. giving as they have hundreds of
thousands of dollars in freights, they have
shown their friendship to the farmers in sub
stantial manner, and We believe it for the in
terest OF the individual as well as the state that
they be treated in the same liberal manner so
far as legislation is concerned and inasmuch as
the railroads have indicated further disposi-
tion to be more liberal In the way Of bringing
In seed wheat at a very low rate we believe the
legislature should at least show justice to them
by refusing to pass at this time any severe leg
islation.
Resot5ed That 1t is the sense Of this club
that the governor will advance the material in
terests of the needy desiring seel wheat in
South Dakota by calling delegate convention
at an early date at some central point for the
purpose of devising means for purchasing seed
wheat. and that he urge upon oil counties to send
at least as one representative county COM
missioner, and that the railroads be also urged
to have representative present, as well as ele-
yators, bankers, loaning companies and bust.

ST. LOUIS UPPER TENDON.

A Priest Scores Society People for Bad
Behavior.
An indictment Of scandalous proper
tions has been presented against the @best
society" of st. LOUIS by Catholic priest,
backed by a host Of witnesses. Lately at
st. Alphonsus' Catholic church James
Hunt Lucas and Prudence M. HUT were
the contracting parties in the most fash
ionable wedding Of the year. The wealth.
lest and most exclusive circles of st. Louis
were strongly represented, as the bride
and groom were connected with the most
ultra -fashionables. No one was allowed
in the church without a card of invitation.
The people who attended the wedding
showed themselves SO devoid of respect,
not to say common decency, that they
were threatened with expulsion from the
sacred edifce. They talked, laughed,
joked, stood on seats, passed around
candy, and even hung their wraps on
images and in the confessionals. Father
Brown denounced them from the altar. A
witness says:
4In the first place agreat number Of ladies
were in full dress, which in itself was
shocking, for when they were all seated an
observer was inclined to think they had
come to witness theatrical show, and rot
the performance Of solemn ceremony in
the house Of God. They showed no re-
spect whatever for the place they we're in.
They talked, joked and laughed, and even
passed around candy to while away the
time. Twice Father Brown came out and
endeayored to effect quiet. The first time
he exhorted, the second he threatened.
Both his threats and his exhortations were
equally unavaiiing. In fact, some Of the
people, instead of being stung to the quick
by his just rebukes, were highly offended
at what he said and continued their dis
graceful conduct. When the bridal party
finally arrived the people abandoned all
idea of propriety. They stood upon the
seats Of the pews and sat down on the
backs in order to obtain good view."

The Montana Legislature Accomplished
Nothing.
The life of tho Legislature of Montana
has expired by constitutional limit and
both houses have adjourned sine die. The
treasury is empty, not a single appropria-

EXCITING RUNAwAv.-Peter
Rasmussen, who lives in the Red
hills south of Salem a few miles,
came to the city this morning and
tied his team, hitched to a heavy
wagon, to an electric light pole Oh
the north side of the Court house
square. In the wagon he left his
little boy, five or six years old, t'
whom sitting there alone became
monotonOus, so after awhile he took
the whip and commenced cracking
IL over the horses, whose jumping
around seemed to tickle him very
much, as he laughed and enjoyed
the "fun" hugely. But the animals
didn't aud in a short time they
broke the halter with which they
were tied and started. They ran
down Court street to Liberty,
where they would have cOllided
with the electric car only for the
promptness of the conductor, who
struck one of them with q rock and
turned them south. They kept
Liberty to State street, where
they would haye run into
the improvements at the Capital
engine house were it not for Gus
Strang, who turned them up State
street which they kept at lively
gait until they reached Church
street, wi ere they turnedlsouth and
kept that street over all the bridges
until they reached Mr. A. Bush's
fence, where they turned west
and ran toward South Salem.
Here they were overtaken by q
man who followed on horseback
and were brought back to tie city
with nothing broken or injured ex'
cept one tug. The little boy through
all this long run Kept to the wagol
with true heroism and those whC
watched the flyers rs they turned
the several corners held their breatl
with horror as they contemplated
what the result might be. Ever!
now and then at turns and crossing
he would bound into the air like ,
ball, but always came down in the
sarle place. He came back to the
city badly scared boy, but wholly
uuaurt.
