THE BEHRING SEA DISPUTE.
Comments of the London Press on Lord
Salisburys Letter.

LoSDoN, March 1.-THE Standard
says of the Behring Sea papers: Both
nations will rejoice that their differences
have been placed in such shape as TO
make arbitration possible and proba'
ble." 1t adds that nothing could be
more barren or irritating than an at
tempt to consider the result from a
polemical standpoint.
The Times says: at is difficult TO
i'm agine how Mr.. Blaine can persist in
keeping the quarrel open aft9r Lord
Salisbury has accepted the bulk OF his
own proposed terms for conference, or
can make ii grievance. The terms
declined have been shown to be mani
festly unjust to England" Continuing,
the Times says: The result OF the Ca
madam elections, following the popular
reaction against the new tariff law in
the United States. may induce him (Mr.
Blainel to reflect that more success
would be gained by fair and amicable
dealing than by high-handed action and
tall talk -

SPRINGFIELD, LII, March lin
mediately after the election OF Gen. Pal
mcr was known the church and fire
bells OF the city began TO ring, and
above his voice, when addressing the
Joint assembly, could be heapl the
triumphant melody OF the bells. Every
factory and manufacturing establish
ment in the city, quite regardless OF the
politics of the prOprietOrs, blew in
unison their whistles in appreciation OF
the fact that Springfield now claims
both of Illinois Senators. Private res
licences hung out their flags and from
the staff Of every public building
in the city foated the culors Of the ma
tlon. Tonight the festivity still con-
tinues. Fireworks and skytocketss
from the public SQUARE must be visible
to the Ilionis farmers. For manf miles
over the praries Chinese lanterns, trans
parencies and illuminatlOns on every
hand testify the admiration OF the titi-
zens OF Springfield for their distinguish
ed fellow towsman. The Democratic
members OF the General Assembly have
have been wearing cOnspicuously their
'iOl" hodges and amid their rejoicing
they have started movement to pro
cure and present to Messrs. Moore and
Cockrell two magnificent badges, sur
passing in beauty, cost and workman
ship anything yet devised. Indeed it
seems that the general rejoicing has be-
come infectious. It is hardly an exag-
geration to say that everybody In
Springfield is celebrating tonight. All
parties seem to be well satisfied with the
election OF General Palmer.
Republicans almost to a man are graf
flied with the action OF the 100 Republi-
can members In voting on the final ballot

4 Horrible Confession Made 10y a Dying
Murderer.


TACOMA. WASH. March IT, \ promi-
ncnt physician Of this city has Just
made horrible and startling rcycla-
tion.
He alleges that he was called, two
months ago. To the death-brd Of a poor
Swcde named Lars Peterson, who told
the physician that he wished his dying
confession written, and 10 is ~ follows;
Tcdcrscn worked in Armour's pack
ing house in Chicago until lSs., then he
went To Sioux City. to Silverhorn'S
packing house. where he worked until
the spring Of 1889, when he killed man
named Larson HarStrul. who worked on
the night shift, cleaning tho floors in
the killing rooms. He stabbed Harstrul
many times. and his blood flowed down
the gutter TO the fertilizer, mixing with
the blood of the swine killed that day.
Petersen then put the body in the chute
and ran IL in among 10000 carcaSseS
killed that day. Near morning he took
the body to the chopping blocks cut 1t
/ i'm pieces, covered them with salt and
ran them TO the freezing rooms, among
piles of pork left there for months. lie
then burned the clothes in the furnace.
Petersen lived in Sioux City for two
months after the murder, and then
came here. The physician can give no
good reason why he did not make the
alleged confession public before.

CHARLESTON, March ll.-DetailS OF
bloody and fatal fight at dance in
kentucky have just be received here at
Kilgore, a railroad town in the eastern
part of the State There was big ball
Monday night, at which Kentucky
bourbon flowed freely, and it was not
long till the men were all gloriously
full. Between two OF the dances a
quarrel arose over woman, and
some one fired. A panic ensued, and
there was rush of terrified women to
escape the murdcrouS shower OF bullets
fIom the fusiade that followed. Shcr-
man Lucas. miner, was the first to
fall, and his friends rallied to the rescue.
Lines were formed, and from ten tJ
twenty men on side began 10 fire. The
LlGHrs WERE SHOT ouT,
and only the flashes Of fire that cleaned
from the muzzles OF the re-
yolvers broke the inky darkness.
Men huddled in corners and in
the darkness escaped the flying balls.
From 80 to 100 shots were fired and the
battle only ceased when the ammunition
was exhausted. When the smoke of the
battle cleared away six men badly
wounded were found lying in pools OF
blood upon the floor. Sam Bunting.
Charles Bunting, Jef Waugh and Da-
vid Waugh were so badly injured
that their death was expected at
any moment when last heard from.
sherman Lucas aud Andy Howell are
expected to die. though they have
chances of recovery. Many Others were
slightly injured. No arrests have been
made, as II was impossible in the dark
ness TO tell who did the shooting.

organization are included the Stonecut-
