A Little Surprise Over a Decision of the
supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-There was some
thing of surprise in the Supreme
Court of the United States when Chief
Justice Fuller announced the courts de-
cision in the BehrinR Sea matter.
A decision was not expected at this
time, but Mr.. Calderon Carlisle, who rep
resented the British government in Wash
ington, was on hand. Attorney General
Miller was absent.
The decision was rendered on an ap-
plication filed by the Canadian govern
ment, for leave to file a suggestion for a
writ of prohibition in the case of the
Canadian schooner Sayward, which was
Hbelled by the United States for catch
ing seals in Behring Sea.
Chief Justice Fuller announced that
the court had decided to grant the Brit
ish government leave to file an applica-
tion for a writ of prohibition in the mat
ter, and directed the issuance of a rule
ordering the District Court of Alaska to
show cause why the writ should not be
issued. The Chief Justice said in deliver
ing the decision that the Supreme Court
undoubtedly had jurisdiction in the mat
ter.
After a whispered conversation be-
tween Mr.. Carlisle and Solicitor General
Taft, representing the United States, the
former said that Mr.. Taft was DESTROYS
of having an early day set for the rule to
be made returnable, and the Chief Justice
settled the question by selecting the
second Monday in April.

PITTsBrRG, Pa, Feb. 3.-The Ship Canal
Commission held it's final meeting in
this city, and the cost of the artificial
waterway, which is to connect Pitts

make the report to the State Legislature.
The railroads are expected to meet the
project with aggressive hostility, and
the Commissioners report will thorough
Iy inform the Legislature On every point
on which the railroads can make any
pretence of opposition.
The route recommended as the most
feasible coming south takes in the towns
of jamestown, Sharpsville, Sharon, West
MiddleseX, Pulaski and Newcastle and
strikes the Ohio river at Rochester, 80
miles west of Pittsburg.
There are no great engineering difficult
ties to surmount, and it is believed that
the work can be completed in four years.
The Commission will ask the Legisla-
ture for the appointment of committee
to take charge.

Ocean Grove Receives the Victim of an
Overdose of Morphine.
AsBURY PARK, N. j., Feb. 3.-The re-
mains of Helen Potts, who died from an
overdose of morphine in New York, were
brought to Ocean Grove for interment.
Miss Potts was one of the most popular
young women here. She graduated from

pupils that ever attended the institution.

OF the Collge of Physicians and Sur

Miss Potts of her headache, is we'll

were found against him, but he has
never been tried because of illness. His
trial is now set down for Thursday,

GUS Prisoner Who Fled Years Ago.
BENNINGTON, Vt, Feb. 3.-Some time
sirce, stranger calling himself John
Rice registered at the Elm Trca House
in this place. A few days afterward he
disappeared, taking with him $9S and

ALL FAVOR HOME RULE,
The Liberals Wiling to Concede to Par
nall'S Terms.

The Liberals Wiling to COHcede to Par
msll's Trrms.
LONDON, Feb. SIT appears that the
main point of difference which prolonged
the Boulogne conference and almost de-
feated the efforts at reconciling the Irish
factions was in regard to the coustabu-
larry. Messrs. Gladstone, Morley and
Harcourt being unwilling to agree that
the constabulary, as it is, should be
tnrned over to the control of an Irish
Parliament, and Mr.. Parnell, on the other
hand, insisting that nothing less would
suffice.
On taking the sense of other promi-
nent Liberals, however, it was ascer-
tanned, rather to the surprise of Mr.
Gladstone, that the prevailing sentiment
was in favor of genuine home rule for
Ireland, including the control of the po-
lice as non-military.
1t being made apparent that Dillon,
O'Brien and Gill were with Parnell in
requiring a substantial assurance as to
the character of a home rule bill, Mr..
Gladstone made those assurances
through Mr.. Morley. The result of the
Hartlepool election also greatly strength
ened the faith of Mr.. Gladstone in the
ability of the Liberal party to give Ire
land what she desired. The result is an
agreement that, it is believed, will be
satisfactory to all parties.
The arrangement, however, comes too
late to get rid of Mr.. Parnell He has
succeeded in again firmly entrenching
himself in the affections of the people,
and the virtual concession of what he
demanded has again elevated him to IA
place of commanding Importance in the
eyes. of the British Liberals, as was evil
dent on his return from Ennis. He
looked laughter than ever, and there
was an air of triumph about him that
arrested the attention of everybody.

LONDON, Feb. 8. The Tories and Dis
senting Liberals are preparing for des-
perate struggle, now that the Home Rule
programme is revealed, and the indica-
tions are that the religious issue will be
made prominent feature of the anti
Irish agitation, and that the cry of
priestly influence will be raised on every
platform. The Liberals are satisfied,
however, that this argument will have
but little effect, and they propose to
keep British reforms to the front, and
not permit Irish Home Rule to stand as
the sole issue before the voters.
