CHAcAGo, Feb. pa Daily Neacs
Washington special asserts thai Secretary
Blaine and British Minister Pauncefote
ave reached an amic lb!e agreement on
the Behring sea controversy, aud the
question of damages sustained by British
vessels will be submitted to arbitration.
Details of the agreement cannot he o5-
tanned. bat it is known that the United
States will not, under any circumstances,
permit foreigners to catch seals even In
disputed waters during seasons when our
citizens are prohibited from doing SO
Tie dispatch says that foreign powers
have never been formally notified before
that these waters were considered a
closed sea, and foreign fishers had nomi-
nal liberty to enter waters from which
thew had not been formally prohibited.
Our seizures therefore were illegal. The
conclusion IS drawn that in the agree
ment Blaine comedies this fact and
Pauncefote comedies the right OF the
United States to prohibit poacaing here
after: therefore the United States will
nav what damages may be assessed by
arbitration, and England guarantees tht
there will he no more trespassing.

pany to Appear in Cheyenne.

goers Manager Rhodes has lately become
very aggressive, but the people have SO
far supported him. The success Of the

company it is only necessary to state that
it contains l25 members and travels by n
special train consisting Of three baggage
cars, three sleepers and a dining car. The
company is the strongest aggregation pre-
senting grand opera in America today,
and has received the most fiattering no.
tees from the press of all the large cities

as that Of Patti, Albina or any of the

portion Of this magnificent combination,

ROBERT W. BAXTER
The Young Old Timer Made Super
lntendent at This Place.
F. L. Corwin, Who Has Been Train
master, Also Promoted.
Mr.. Ryder Returns to PocateIle--'
Trainmaster Bierd.

R.. w. Baxter has been promoted tc
the superintendency of the Wyoming di'
vision. with headquarters at Cheyenne.
Mr.. w. L. Ryder is transferred to the
Idaho division. from whence he came to
this portion of the system. +. Il. Cor
win, who has been trainmaster at this
end. succeeds Mr.. Baxter as assistant
superintendent. with Office at Green
River. These changes were announced
yesterday to take effect Immediately.
The new trainmaster has moi yet been
named, but it Is more than probable that
w. G. Bierd, yardmaster here, will be
called to that post and sent to Laramie.
He is thoroughly competent and has
earned promotion.
w. E. Green resigned the manage
ment of the Idaho division. Gossips de-
clare that he had trouble with Mr.. Resi-.
guie, who is in charge Of the system west
Of Cheyenne. but this Is doubted, as Mr..
Ressiguie has given frequent public ex-
pressions OF his appreciation OF the worth,
ability and interchangeable energy of Mr..
Green. The latter is 4 very sick man.
he has been fighting snow day and night
for three months. and has been on duty
when he should have been in bed and
under the care of physicians. ". +.
Green is every inch a man, and his Chey-
enne friends hope and trust that he will
o recover health. Position will come
to him.
Everyone knows the new superintend-
ent. His popularity is established and
htness recognized. The men on the
Wyoming division swear by dob" Bax-
ter and will do everything in their power
to contribute to the success Of his admin
istration. His preferuent is an applica-
ton of the civil service rule favored by
President Adams and Vice President
Holcombe. Mr.. Baxter entered the en-
ploy of the Union Pacific as a call boy at
Rawllns pretty near twenty years
ago, and has been true to every trust i'm
posed upon him since hat time. He has
been chief dispatcher of this division and
served with marked distinction as train
master at Omaha.
MIR. Ryder has been here bat a short
time, but has han died the division well
since his advent.

Is this gratuituous utilization OF
George Black right? Is it Christianity,
is it charity, is it fairness to exhaust the
vocabulary OF malice on a dead felon2 Is
not biRotry rampant when in the full
knowledge thut Black was received into
the Catholic church, it is sluringly as
serted that he died impenitent? Can
these public censors search souls? 1t is
entirely within range of human posi-
bility that the truth of Blacks final pro-
testation Of innocence, made with the

this cutters mep'
That evening Andrews and his wife
had to go over to sit up with sick
neighbor, leaving me alone with the
lovers. After the "sputter -" had been
lighted Sue said to me:
You wont keer, will you"
About what?"
And pop said you wouldn't laff
nor litter"
aAt what?"
"Dave and me is goin' to court"
$50 right ahead my dear girl. l
am very near-siyhted and hard of
hearing, and you needn't be afraid of
me-"
They sat down on the door-sill, and
soon Dave queried:
Hain't nobody looking, be thar"
Guess not"
Then I'm goin' ro!''
"No you hain't."
But | must 'causs | orter!
He put his arm around her waist,
and there was another long silence.
Then he said:
Kin squeeze yer hand?"
"Noap."
But | orter."
"Well mebbe."
"And YOU hain't kissed me for
hour"
"Davidi"
"But l orter to be kissed. And
YOU orter to be kissed"

"Course know best. Haven't l

Well mebbie I orter."
"We's gwine to be crakingly had
py.''-" Yes"
"Never git mad?'-" Noap."
I went of to bed and left them
there, and shouldn't wonder if they
put in most of the night at it. At
about ten O'Clock next morning the
people began to drop in, and at eleven
the marriage took place. The groom
had weak spell, but braced him up
and when the fatal moose was adjusted
and the trap sprung his conduct was
fair to medium. After dinner we
formed in procession and escorted
them to their new home. Almost
everybody had come laden with some
sort of present. In the center OF the
cabin was my surprise, and no crowd
of people were ever so dumfounded'
Mrs. Andrews drew the articles out
and it took every ones breath as she
shouted:
"Real tea and coffee and saleratus
And here's cotton cloth and pins and
thread And here's sugar and molas-
ses and soap! And here's crockery
real crockery and knives and forks
and spoons and"
But all the women were crying by
that time and all the men were trem-
bling with excitement. They laid it
onto me, and l had to own up, and
then Andrews called out:
"Yere, Dave, Sue-gii right down
on yer knees and sw'ar to the stranger
that you'll pot-luck with him and his'n
as long as grass grows and water runs.
and may the world never desert him!'
And who could ask for greater re-
wards
