WHAT BLAINE SAID.
His Reply to Lord Salisbury ON the Behr-
ing sea Matter.


WASHINGTON, January 5.-The PreSi-
dent to-day transmitted to the House OF
Representatives further correspondence
on the subject OF the Rehring Sea con-
troyersy between the United States and
Great Britain. Lord SaliSbUry's letter
To Sir Julian Poncefoute, dated August
.. is confined to decision of the Russian
ukase and the treaty of 1925. He argues
that Mr.. Blaine has misinterpreted Mr.
Adams position, and closes with the
statement that il the differences still
exist, his government Is ready for I'M
partial arbitration by methods to be
agreed upon in concert with MIR Blaine.
Secretary Blaine'S letter TO the same
minister. dated December - last be-
gins with an inSiStance upon the cor
rectncsS Of the position assumed by the
United States. He believes that the
controversy turns upon one point
whether the phrase Pacific Ocean
used in the treaty of 1924 and 1879, iu-
cluded Behring sea, bounded by Great
Rritian. II the United States can prove
the contrary. her case is complete and
undeuiable. Therefore Mr.. Blaine en-
ters into an exhaustive argument based
ON Bancroit'S history, a-d goes to ShoY
that Mir. Adams and his contemporaries
had distinct understanding that the
phrase. "Pdcilic Ocean," included the
waters of Behring sea, then known 70
all the world as the Sea Of kamschatha.
As stronger evidence OF his correct
ness. Mr.. Blaine cites the protocols OF
the treaty of 1924 to show that Russia :
relinqnishment OF jurisdiction applied
only to tLG territory between the ilIty-
ath and siytieth degree, also other De
niable points OF proof lie speaks OF
the enormous injury inflicted by vessels
under the British flag upon the United
States fisheries aud suggested that she
send an intelligent commissioner to the
Islands. Again he objects to the form
icl The proposed arbitration and says IL
viii am0uhl " sq4ethins t9ngl6le u
aroat Britain consents 10 aroltrate the
real questions discussed Tor the last TOUR
Years. What were the rights exercised
bv Russia in Behring sea? How far
were they conceded by Great Britain?

ocean9 Did not the United States az
ls.;ira all Of Ers.!a's rights? What are
The present rights OF the United states.
and II the concurrence OF Great Britain
i found necessary then what shall De-

Mr.. sherman said that the sudden

THREE PRECIOUS PHIALS,
Filled With mph-Treasure Brought
Oyer by a Jersey Physician.

New YORK, January a.-One OF the
passengers on the North German Lloyd
steamer Saale. which arrived here from
Bremen yesterday, brought with him
precious treasure.
The passenger was DR.. Joseph w.
Stickler, OF Orange, y. j., and his valu-
able charge was three phials OF DR..
Koch's lymph, probably the largest
amount of the liquid ever brought In
this country by one man.
DR.. Stickler sailed from this city on
the Cunard steamer Seryia, on Noyem-
Der 20, and on reaching Liverpool at
once continued his journey 20 Berlin.

about two weeks, sailing from Bremen
OF his hOmeward Journey on Deccm-

DIR. StIck!er found berlin filed with
physicians from all over the world,
among the number between 1000 and
/ 300 from the United States. All were
at work seeking to learn rs much as
possible about the wonderful liquid aud
the method OF using IL. Some OF the
medical men, however, derived no great
benefit from their stay. For instance,
one American physician. DR.. Stickler
said, was in Berlin only four hours. He
visited one Of the hospitals where the
lymph was In use, and then started Oh
his hOmewdrd trip. DR.. Stlckler worked
hard the two weeks he spent In Berlin,
visiting hospitals daily. observing the
method OF incubation, watching the
effect Of the medicine and talking with
eminent physicians about DR.. koch's
discovery.
~ see In mogning paper" said Dr.
Stckler TO the reporter, that com
plants are made in Berlin that DR.. Koch
is using his discovery TO make money.
Such is not the case. a. know. One
physician offered DR.. Koch $1,000 for
some Of the lymph, but met with :
prompt refusal. At the Libbertz

SECRETARY NOBLE TALKS.
He Explains the Indian situation-Tired
of IdIeness.

WASHINGTON, January 5.-Secretary
Noble was questioned to-day as to what
action had been taken on the recon-
mendation of Gen. Miles that the Indian
Agents OF the South Dakota agencies
be relieved from further duty, and that
their places be filled by military officers.
The Secretary said he did not care TO
discuss the matter further than TO say
that the subject had not been mentioned
to him by any one with authority 10 act
in the matter. IL is believed, however,
that should General Miles recommends
tion be submitted TO him by the Presi-
dent for his views, the Secretary would
strongly oppose the transfer. The
Secretary spoke with some earnestnesS
Of the reports that have been in circu-
lation, recently to the effect that the
Indians were in starving condition and
that the pending trouble grew out Of
the fact that the Government had not
kept its agreement with the Sioux, but
but on the contrary had already begun
to cut down the rations supplied to
them in violation of all treaty obliga-
tions. The Secretary denounced these
statements as unqualifiedly false.
The story OF starvation among the
Sioux was pure fabrication. For ten
long years the government, in fulfill
ment OF its treaty obligations, had been
feeding the Sioux in idleneSs. Some OF
them, however, were thrifty farmers
and good citizens, but large proper
tIon were a thriftless and indolent set,
perfectly willing to spend their time in
idlenesS and In finding fault with the
government on every conceivable pre-
text.
Members OF Congress, very properly,
began to inquire whether it was the
purpose Of the government TO continue
indefinitely and forever this policy OF
feeding Indians who persisted in living
in idleneSs. They thought 1t about
time 10 test their ability TO support
themselves. And so the appropriation
was reduced by Sl00,00O, not very
large amount when compared with the
vast sum which the usual appropriation
called for Thereupon the Indians i'm
mediately began TO complain, but made
no effort 10 feeding themselves. They
occupied a vast territory, containing
thousands OF acres of productive land.
They were supplied with everything
necessary to improve it aIr> raise good
crops, but they preferred to do nothing
and let the Government continue TO put
food in their mouths. 1t was time, the
Secretary thought, that these people
should be compelled to do something
and he had lost patience with those who
upheld the Indians in the idleness. He
sincerely regretted that the recent ac-
tiQn OF the military had resulted in
bloodshed and he congratulated himself
that his department was in no sense re-
sponSible for II.

EMMA ABBOTT DEAD
fRE PATHETIC DEATH BID SCENES OF TIE
PRlaA DONNA.
She Was Confident Shs Was Going to Die, and Re-
marked That the Next Song she Sung Would
Be in Hsavsn-Shs Faced Death
Without Any Fear.

MINSEAPoIIs, MINI, January D.
Honest Little Emma" is dead.
Col. John T. West to-day received n
telegram stating that Emma Abbott. the
famous prima donna, died at Salt Lake
City at ,:iO this morning.
The body will be embalmed and sent
to Chicago. Her father, Seth Abbott,
who lives here, will go TO Chicago.
Pneumonia ended the life Of the noted
songstress. She contracted a cold in
the new Opera House at ogden, Utah,
last Monday night, and, despite the in
functions OF her physician, determined
TO carry out the programme previously y
arranged. At the Wednesday matinee
she broke down and had to be assisted
TO her room.
Emma Abbott was born In Peoria, H.,
80 years ago. In the days OF her sue
cess she often related TO her friends,
how, as 4 girl OF & or : years, she had
wandered about barefooted and in her
only gown, made from a coarse sack.
She began to win admiration when only
years old, and while still child sung
to applauding audiences in small Illinois
towns. One day Clara Louise Kellogg
heard the little girl singing TO herself
in the open air. She recognized the
possibilities of the unframed voice, and
hastened to help the embryo songstress
TO advantages for cultivating ii. Miss
Abbott's name of the stage was Mrs.
Wetherell Her husband died about
two years ago in the same section OF
country where the songstress died.
Miss Abbott was one OF the wealthiest
people connected with the stage. She
was making preparations at the time Of
her death TO hire European theatre
either in London, Paris or Berlin
and open an opera season at popular
prices there next season.
CHICAGO, January at noon to-day
Mrs. l.. Abbott Clark, sister OF Emma
Abbott, received the following tele-
gram:
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, January ,.
Miss Abbott died at 40 o'clock this
morning leave tonight with the body

The INDIAN WAR.
No Fight Yesterday-Coi. Forsythe Is Re
lieved OF His Command.

WAsHNGToN, January 5.-A dispatch
received by Gen. Schofield from Gen.
Miles at 6:35 this evening indicates that
there has been no battle with the In
dians to-day. This was The latest dis
patch received up to midnight.
The report Of the relief of Col. For
sythe OF his command OF the Seventh
cavalry by Gen. Miles, which has been
telegraphed east from an unofficial
source, is confirmed at the War De
partment to-day. The officials, how
ever, show a decided dsincliaation 10
talk about the matter.
Neither Secretary Porter nor General
Schofeld is willing to say much on the
subject, although both practically admit
that General Miles did not act entirely
upon his own Sponsibility. Secretary
Porter said: General Miles did it. 1t
is very much mixed up matter and
may explain 1t later
Gen. Schofield was rather more COM
municativc. He said: There IL not
much that ! can say about ii just now,
but am willing 10 explain as far as
can. 1t has been suggested by
peISOu MuoM tduuOt ulcu-
ton, that it would be well to
look into the matter of the fight on
Wounded Knee creek the other day, in
asmuch as the reports that several In
dian women and children were killed.
Accordingly Gen. Miles at suggestion
from here relieved Col. Forsythe OF his
command pending an investigation.
1t Is Surmised by some officers that the
person who suggested" the investiga-
tion is the President, whose suggestion
as to the army has all the weight Of or
ders.
Gen. SchoGeld has received two tele
grams from Gen. Miles in regard TO the
Indian troubles. The first, dated Pine
Ridge, 5. d., January 3, is as follows:
Col Forsythe reports under date Of
the second inst. the following casualties
in a skirmish with hostiles in White
Clay Creek, ). d., near this agency, De-

geant Theodore Raynor, Troop X, eth

The other telegram bore the same
date and gave the list of the killed and
wounded Knee fight of December 20.
The list does not differ from that al
ready given IN these dispatches.
