Modern roets whom one meets are apt
to say THAI poetry is not read at all.
Byron's Murray ceased TO publish poetry
in 1880, just chen Tenhyson and Brown

ably Mr.. Murray was wise in his gen
Grafton.
But it is aIso likely Tat many persons
eve row are attached to poetry, though
they certainly do not buy contemporary
verse. How did the passion come to
them? How long did it stay? When did

kind Of dream Of fairyl#nd ard enchanted

no conscious pleasure in poetic style,

JOHN BULLS MOVE
The Behring Sea Controversy
Transferred to the SUI
preme Court.
The Action a Surprise to Many,
Including the Attorney
General.
But Mr.. Blaine Says He Has Antici-
pated It-He Will Be Heard
From Later.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.--The Behring
sea fur seal fishing question has been
suddenly and unexpectedly brought be-
fore the supreme court of the United
States. Sir John Thompson, attorney
general for Canada, through Mr.. Cal
deron Carlisle, the American counsel of
the British legation, and Mr.. Joseph
Choate, associate counsel, have made a
motion in the court for writ of prohi-
bition commanding the United States
district court at Sitka, to annul the pro-
ceedings by which the schooner w. P.
Savward was hbelled in 1887. This
move on the part of the Canadian Off
Gals, it was stated, was made in behalf
of Canada by Sir John Thompson with
the full knowledge and consent of the
British government, the purpose evil
deutly being to appeal from the state
department to the supreme court to set
tie once for all the dispute. The move
ON the part of the British government
seems not to have been expected and the
attorney general was taken by surprise
when the motion was made by Mr..
ChOate.
The question of the jurisdiction of the
United States over Behring sea is dis
cussed at great length in the brief filed,
from the British standpoint, as cut
lined in Lord Salisbury's last commune
cation to the British minister here.
Blaine Anticipated 1t.
Secretary Blaine, when asked about
this movement on the part of the Cana
dian governments counsel, said: "This
is something which has been threatened
for some time, and of which I have been
quite aware 1t is, therefore, no sur
prise to me, as had anticipated it.
have nothing whatever to say on the
subject now, but shall probably have
something to say officially later, and SO
I don't think it best to talk for publica-
ton at this time You may say, how
ever, that the department is not taken
unawares.
When ased whether or not this case,
having been brought up in the supreme
court, would result in transferring the
controversy from the state department
to the supreme court, the secretary said:
I'll would prefer to remain quiet on the
subject just now There will be some
thing official to say later on. can say
that +nis is no coup on the part of the
British government in the least.

Tie Financial Bill Still Under Discussion.
To Investigate Boodling Rumors.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-In the senate
Mr.. Platt explained that he did not call
up the copyright bill according to notice
because the senator in charge of the
financial bill refused to continue de-
bate on it, but he would call it up just
as soon as the finance measure had been
disposed of. Mr.. Paddock gave notice
that, without regard to the copyright
bill or any other bill, he would at the
first opportunity call up the pure food
bill. The financial bill was further de-
bated, Messrs. Allen, Cockrell and Berry
participating in the discussion in favor
of free coinage. The bill was then laid
aside. After short executive session
the senate, at $40 p. M, adjourned.
The House.
The house passed a resolution dis
charging the committee on rules from
further consideration of the resolution
looking to an investigation of the silver
pool and providing for the appointment
of a committee of five to investigate the
matter. The consular and diplomatic
bill was reported and placed on the cal
endar. The appropriation bill was then
taken up and discussed, without action,
until adjournment.

The Congressional Committee Makes q
Report on the Ohio Case.
w ARLINGTON, Jan. 13.-The report of
the select committee Of the houss which
investigated the Ohio ballot box for
geries during the Campbell Foraker
campaign, has been submitted to the
house. 1t reviews the sensational evil
dence adduced, and finds that the alleged
contract for ballot boxes was dictated
and prepared by Richard G. Wood, and
that all the signatures appended were
forgeries 1t also finds that Richard G..
Wood, Frank l.. Millard and Frank Da-
Wis were the only persons directly or in
directly aiding or abetting in the prep
aration of the forgery; that MiLard and
Davis were guiltless of their part in the
transaction and that Wood uttered the
forgery for the purpose of recommending
himself to the mayor of Cincinnati for
the appointment of smoke inspector. 1t
further finds that
Governor Foraker and Murat Halstead
aided in forgery; the former by exhibit
ing the paper to several persons, and the
latter by publishing it in The Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette; bat generates
both of them as not cognizant of the
fact that the paper was forgery.
1t exonerates all the persons
whose names appeared on the
alleged contract from any improper con-
nection with the ballot box contract,
and says that there never was any other
contract relating to ballot boxes in
which any of the persons were inter
ested. The findings so far are approved
by the full committee.
