TIE BEHRING SEA MATTER

The statesmen Of the Dominion Parlia-
ment, according to Sundays dispatches
appear to be possessed of the idea that the
American Government is not only pre-
pared to eoneede all that the British Gov
eminent has claimed regarding the Behr-
ing sea question, but that it has given the
Dominion authorities assurance that such
settlement of the matter will be speedily
accomplished. When Mr.. Pope declared
in the House that his Government would
not see the rights of Canadian seal fishers
trampled upon, he did that which ID worthy
of commentator. No one wants to tram
pie on their rights, much less the Ameri-
can Government. The question is, what

Vivid Description of the Magnificence of
that Great City.
The Hangtown correspondent of the
Folsom Telegraph is bit of wag, as the
following, taken from his last letter to that
paper will indicate:
at is seldom that town like Hangtown
Crossing can furnish the world with the
sensational news that we do, but it goes to
show that the people of Hangtown and
vicinity are OF an enterprising and push
ing class. You can take the whole world
through and you will not find a place
where you can step off the cars and meet
the number of fine carriages, hotel buses
private conveyances that greets your eye
when you step on the marble floor in the
depot at Hangtown Crossing. To describe
the beautiful hotels or even private resi-
dences would be foolish undertaking, as
it can't be done. They will have to be
seen to be appreciated. You can travel for
miles after you leave the depot and you
wonder if you ever get out of the limits of
the city. of course city of this size has
more or less sensational news, which towns
of minor importance cannot boast of. Las
week gave you some of the few incidents
that transpire daily in our burg; but to
give you full particulars you would be COM
PEELED to issue daily which, of course,
town like Folsom cannot support" etc.

THE SAMOAN TREATY.

The full text of the Samoan treaty is
published After all the fears expressed
that the American Government may have
been outgeneraled in its settlement, it
turns out that the treaty is about all we
could ask for. The three signatory Pow
ers are declared to have equal rights in
the Islands The restoration of Malietoa
is ordered; no mention is made of Vice
King. A Supreme Court is established
and its jurisdiction defined. The three
Powers name the Chief Justice, and if
they disagree, the Kings of Norway and
Sweden are to nominate him. The Pow
ers agree to pay the salary of the Court
for the first quarter. The independence
of Samoa is recognized and guaranteed
forever. The right of succession to the
throne is to be determined by the Supreme
Court, if disputed, and its judgment is to
be final, but the Samoans legislate as to
the line Of succession and election of
Kings. The future alienation of lands by
Samoans to foreigners is prohibited but
lots and lands may be leased for terms,
under approval of the Chief Justice. This
officer may also suggest the passage of
laws to the Samoan Government. Really
this Chief Justice, who constitutes all
there is of the Supreme Court, though he
may name associates, is ruler of the
Islands, since he dominates the succession
to the Crown in the event of disagree
ment, controls the letting of lands,
and has final Judgment in the most i'm
portant matters the Samoans can bring
into Court. He is given fine salary, and
has powers that in the hands of a
Yenal man would enable him to con-
troll the politics and trade of the
whole Kingdom and fashion its society.
A Court of Claims is established to
settle existing land titles. All lands held
by title are declared prescriptively held if
possession was acquired prior to August
Is, 1879, the date of the ARglo-Samoan
treaty. Just what the effect of this is we
cannot now know, but we must assume that
the provision is Just since it was agreed to
by all the Commissioners to Berlin. A
Municipal Council is provided for Apia.
The members are to be property-holders,
and elected by popular vote, but the Presi-
dent of the Council is to be named by the
signatory powers, and has the right of in
terposing vetoes. He is to be receiver of
revenues under the treaty, and is to report
his accounts to the King and the NUM-
cipal Council quarterly. One article fixes
the schedule of custom charges on imports
for the purposes of revenue. The sale or
giving of liquors, malt or vinous, to ma
tiYes, is prohibited; license taxes on GER
tain classes of business are specified, and
the importation and sale of firearms and
ammunition are placed under severe regula-
tions, and their disposal to native Samoans
is strictly prohibited. The Municipal
Council is charged with enforcing the
treaty provisions, and is also to name
penalties for its violation, within the Apian
territory only. The new treaty is to super
sede all others, but it is to be of no effect
until the Samoan Government gives assent
TO it.

A CoLoRED MANS OPINION.
He is Tired of Negro Problems, Lynch
LAWS and Mob Rule.


Laws and Mob Rule.
LOUISVILLE (Ky.), January 1Sth.-H.
NJ. Turner, d. D., of Atlanta, Ca. Bishop
of the African Methodist Church, arrived
here yesterday and was asked what he
thought of the bill before Congress which
proposes to give national aid to such col
ored people ss might desire to return to
Africa or elsewhere, and replied by saying
God grant that the bill NAV pass.
The white people brought US here against
our will, now they ought to provide for US
to leave if we desire. Besides we must
work out our destiny, anyhow, and if a
portion of Us think we can do it better
elsewhere let the nation help us to do it.
''If the bill meant compulsory expatria-
ton l would fight it to the death, but as ii
is voluntary on the part of the negro, let
it pass as soon as possible. The negro at
best is but scullion here, and he can be
no less in Africa. I am tired of negro
problems, lynch laws, mob rule and con-
tinual fuss, and million of other negroes
are tired of it.
I'VE want peace at some period in our
lives, and if we cannot have it here, where
we were born and reared, let that portion
of Us who choose to try another portion of
the world have a little help. This nation
owes the negro $40,000,000,000 anyway, so
give US little to emigrate ou."

IF the news of recent bloody battle
between the Republicans and Monarchists
in Brazil is true, the wisdom of the United
States in Withholding recognition of the
provisional Government will be justified.
If the people are battling to determine
what shall be the form of government,
then the country is as yet in an unsettled
condition, and to recognize either side
would be, at the present, unwise.

THOSE who have imagined that railroad
operating is the easiest and most profit
able of engagements, and that its incon-
veniences and drawbacks are trivial, must,
by the present season, be pretty well dis
abused of the notion. They now see that
the cost of operating roads single season
may swallow up the profits of an entire
year, and possibly more; they must by this
time realize that the wise railroad oper-
ator always takes into account wide mar
gin of outlay for just such blockades,
washouts and natural Instructions to traffic
as are now published to the people daily.
Railroad precedence carefully calculates
the drawbacks, and endeavors to distribute
their cost over the annual business, though
it is not possible to do it in all cases but
the demagogic and the unthinking anti
railroad agitator considers the railroading
problem from the standpoint of fair
weather operation, and this accounts in
part for the false conclusions he reaches.

There are 1000 diamond cutters out of
work in Amsterdam alone. At meeting
of more than 1000 of them recently held
there, NJ. Van Praag attributed the want
of work chiefly to the high prices of raw
diamonds, and next to the tendency of
jewellers to trade in raw diamonds instead
of devoting themselves to their prepare
ton Tor the market. The speaker coun-
seled either the establishment of work
ingmen's company, with 500 grinding

the transfer of the trade to London, where

Candy That Didn't Co Down.

George Harmon, manager of Central
Music hall, Is very fond of candy. Heis
seldom without box of bon bons on his
desk. George has many callers and they
all help themselves to his candy, so he
finds he does not get many sweetmeats
himself in the long run. Hepays for the
candy all the same, and this calling bust
ness has worried him for some time. The
other day he unbosomed himself to his
friend and neighbor, Mr.. Boles, of whom
he buys his candy, and he told him his
plight. III fix it." said Boles; and he
made up box of very inviting looking
bon bons from common bar soap. These
George put on his desk The first man
to call was viii Shafer, of the Audi
forum hotel. He picked up a bon bon,
said Good morning" spat it out, and
then Harmon said: Good morning!
Have you used soap" Will said he had,
but he would never do it again. Joe
Oliver, of the Peoples, was the next Wis
itor. He took apiece of the alleged candy
AID then turned pale and went out.
But the victim Harmon was waiting
for his hated rival, Adonis George Fair,
of the Haymarket. Finally Fair dropped
in. "Ah, me boy, these look lovel y, he
said as he bit into an alkaline bonbon.
For moment his face paled, and then,
rather than look like sucker, he bravely
downed the rest of the soapy candy.
He did not care to award Harmon the
laugh on him, and he made his bluff
stronger by calmly chewing a second one
of the bogus creams. This was too
much, however, and as he talked with
Harmon the soap began to get in its
deadly work, and Fair began to froth at
the mouth. He hastily rushed toward
West Side car, and was SO mad that he
thought the man was getting personal
who handed him handful announcing
an important meeting of the ''Lathers'
Union that evening. Now Harmon can
put the choicest confections on his desk
and have them all to himself. Chicago

In the bestowal of nicknames the
pages seem to delight in contrariety.
For example, Mckee Cochrane, who is
OF an extreme blonde type, is called
Ethiope, and Albert Mackey, whose ex-
ceedlng generosity has made him the
favorlte of the group, is called Shylock.
Events in the careers of the boys also de-
termlne their nicknames, as in the case
OF Logan Harris, handsome little fell
low with bright, twinkling eyes, who is
called Pie because when he was being
initiated to the secrets of page etiquette
he was informed, and he believed. that
1t was his conventional duty to buy
round of pie at the Senate restaurant
for all of the other pages. He bought
along with this experience, the name
which will not leave him, at least until
he quits the atmosphere of the Senate.
To interview a Senator who has

newspaper men pretty difficult thing
to do. But compared with interviewing

at once it is as easy as rolling off the
traditional log. l met the boys alto
