Uncle Sans Rights in the Bering Sea to

Uncle Sans Rights in the Bering Sea to
Be Surrendered to John Bull.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-The Bering
sea negotiations have taken favorable
turn, and the governments of the United
States and Great Britain appear to have
at last reached basis upon which to
settle their difficulties. A communica-
ton from Lord Salisbury to Sir
John Pauncefote. British minister
here, under date OF February 11th, was
made public by Secretary Blaine tonight.
In it Lord Salisbury says dispatch
from Mr.. Blaine, under date of the 18th
of December last, has been carefully
considered. "It is now clear" he adds,
"that the advisers of the president do
not claim that the Bering sea is mare
clausem, and indeed that they repudiate
that contention in express terms. Nor
do they rely as justifi-
cation for the seizure of British ships
in the open sea, upon the contention
that the interests Of the seal fisheries
give to the United, States government
any right for that purpose, which ac-
cording to international law, it would
not otherwise possess. Whatever inn
portance they attach to the preserva-
tion of the fur seal species, and they
justly look on it as an object deserving
most serious solicitude, they do not con-
ceive that it confers upon any maritime
power rights over the open ocean, which
that power could not assert on other
grounds"

HURRAH FOR PALMER.

The II. M. Il. AS Decide to Vote for an
Honest Man.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, March 10.-There
appears to be no doubt tonight that
John M. Palmer (Democrat) will be
elected to the United States senate to-
morrow. After long talk with Gem
eral Palmer, this afternoon, ,Represen-
tatives Moore and Cockrell issued a
lengthy address to their party (the'
Farmers Mutual Benefit association) ;,
setting forth the efforts they have made
to secure the election of an Independent
candidate to the senate; their efforts
with the Republican party, and the at
tempt to elect Streeter. They go on to
say that the Republicans have secured
from Streeter such concessions and
promises as would, if carried out.
entirely unfit him from conscientionsIy
representing the principles of the farm
ers' party. Finding it absolutely inn
possible to elect an Independent, they
have concluded that their next duty is
to select man who, while not repre-
senting the principles of their organiza-
ton in full, is in sympathy with many
OF their demands, and comedies the
needs of redress in legislation, which
has grown up under the rule of corpora
tions and monopolies.
Being satisfied they say, 'sthat we
could not elect man who would fully
represent our people, we today called
on Mr.. Palmer in the interest of our.
people to ascertain what assurances and
hopes he would give us in regard to his
future official action affecting such legis-
lation as our people demand. This in
terview, we must say, was satisfactory,
eveven beyond our expectations. While
he does not fully represent us, he has
forced us to believe that he is an honest
man. We are more firmly convinced
than ever that the future prosperity and
happiness of this country depends on
the success and growth OF the independ-
ent party. An independent political
movement by the toiling millions is the
only hope of the people. In view OF the
facts above stated, we will tomorrow
cast our votes for John H. Palmer, and
bring this prolonged contest to close"
Representative Taubenock, the other
F. M. B. A. man, has repeatedly declared
that he would never vote for Palmer.

Whereas, In the course of events,
over which we have no control, our CO.
laborer in the interest of Democracy,
free government and advanced civiliza-
ton, Hon. George Hearst. while serving
at the post of honor to which he was
chosen by the people of the state OF his
adoption, departed this life; and
Whereas, By his demise we are ad-
monished that while in the midst OF life
we are in death, and that it is not given
us to know whatlthe hour may bring forth
and that man being mortal is bound to
die, and to that end should keep his
household in order; therefore be it
Resolved, First-That in the death
of the Hon. George Hearst, while until
stricken by death, discharging the du-
ties of United States senator for the
sovereign state of California, the senate
of the United States lost an honorable
and useful member, and the nation a
statesman of undoubted patriotism,
broad views and general usefulness not
surpassed, if equalled, by his cotem-
porarics.
Second-That in his demise California
loses pioneer OF commanding presence
among the argonauts, a race of men who
formed the civilization of the state, and
of whom she is Justly proud, and who by
his private life and business relations
demonstrated to the world that an hon
est man may acquire great wealth with
out depressing his fellow man, or ally
ing himself to corporations or trusts for
that purpose.
Third-That the Democratic par
ty, not only OF the State of Cal
ifornia but the nation, has by his

useful alike to party and mankind.

Southern Floods,

NASHVILLE, March 10.-The river fell
slightly today, but is expected to rise a
foot when the water from the upper
river reaches here. The submerged
lumber yards are all protected by
booms, and the damage IS not very
heavy. In the low-lying portion of the
city fully 1000 houses are vacated on
account Of the floods, and among the
poorer classes there is considerable dis
tress.
AUGUSTA, Ca, March 10.-The city is
in darkness tonight, high water having
interfered with the electric light and gas
companies. No mail was delivered to-
day, and business is practically sus-
pended.
ARKANSAS CRY, Ark, March 10. The
river has risen over two feet in the past
twenty-four hours. While the levees
can safely stand two feet more, the out
look is not encouraging.

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.
The Vote Yesterday Was Not q Test Of
the Candidates' Strength.

SAN Francisco, March 10.-The Call
will say editorially tomorrow concerning
the senatorial contest: '.The vote in the
separate houses is hardly a test of the
strength of the several candidates. In
some cases the vote of member repre-
sents his first choice. and in others the
fulfilment.of an obligation. The belief
is general that the majority of the legis-
lature have determined that no accident
shall happen in the way of election
until the several candidates have
been confronted with the alter
native Of defeat or the production
of some kind of argument that will APP
peal most powerfully to the lowest order
of understanding. There are a good
many men in both houses who depre-
cate the use of money in legislation of
any kind, but the men of this class are
not strong enough in number to prevent
combination large enough to deter
mine the result. Talk on the street is
that if the combination have to vote
without compensation, they will vote
for candidate whose name has not yet
been prominently mentioned.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Bol6ssy Kiralfys Water Queen at the
Grand,

a spectacular fairy show known as
The Water Queen was put on last night
at the GRAND. There are number of
very excellent features in the show.
The story of course is nonsense, and the
scenes all tinsel, but the performance
of the Dare brothers on the horizontal
bar discounts anything of the kind on
the boards. The same is true in their
line Of the jugglers, Leonce and Lola.
The man is perfectly wonderful in his
feats of balancing. Four Gaiety girls
in skirt dances created the widest en-
thusiasm, and the song and dance turn
of Evelyn Pollock and j. G. Slain fairly
took the galleries by storm. Miss Flor
ence Brandon and Miss Pollock made a
decided hit.
But the feature of the play that
created by far the largest part of the
merriment that carried all parts of the
house away, was group of half dozen
figurantes procured by Messrs. McLain
& Lehman, to help out the show. This
bouquet of posies from local parteres in
the most recherche circles of the angelic
city set finely off amid the lesser glories
of Kiarlfy's famous ballet grip. The
clown of the regular troupe fairly went
into ecstacies of admiration, and the
question of the hour is, whose type
writer's did the local impressario or kid
nap for the occasion?
The show with these local accessories
will be put on tonight again, regardless
of expense.
Tomorrow night All the Comforts of
Home replaces the spectacle.
Of this show the Hartford Times says:
"Fun is the keynote of the evening; a
mere tiifle in play, mere sketch in
construction, it affords continuous and
magnificent opportunities for comic
stage business, bits of farclcal horse play
and character acting incisively tipped
with burlesque, and yet all is bound
together in comedy lines, all we'll held
by reins that never allow gallop over
into broad farce or burlesque, and how
ever effectively the actors and the scenes
play for the laughter of the audience,
they keep to the comedy trot. The act
ing was superb, much genial horse-play,
much clever stage business, every now
and then dash of broad farce or bur-
lesque color, but superb in utilizing the
particulars for comedy, for bright char
acterization, for active acting altogeth-
er."
DIVIDE MUSIN.
Next week, at the Los Angeles, Ovide
Musin, assisted by very competent as
sistants, will appear in a concert of un-
mistakable merit.
The New York Tribune in recent
notice said: "Unlike other foreign
artists who come to this country, Musin
has the wisdom of surrounding himself
with first class company, and is happy
when his company receive some of the
glory he receives each night, hence his
great success, both financially and artis-
tically, in this country. On his last
California tour he played fifteen nights
to an average Of $1,000 per night, the
largest receipts ever made by any vir-
tuoso in America"

COLONEL sTEvENsoN's CLAIM VETOED.

OF Colonel Stevenson for $1,000 for sur
veying Suisun bay and the San Joaquin

At the conclusion of Leake's testi-

The Horrible Fate of James Cald-
well.

well.
James Caldwell met with a terrible
accident yesterday morning, resulting in
his death. 1t appears that he attempted
to drive a team, loaded with barley,
down hill in the vicinity of the Ever
green cemetery. There were no brakes
on the wagon, and notwithstanding that
Caldwell was advised not to go down the
hill without first blocking the wheels,
he foolishly made the attempt which
cost him his life. Half way down the
hill the horses became unmanageable.
Caldwell was knocked under the wheels
by the falling barley sacks and was fa-
tally injured. Officer Farmer reported
the accident, and Doctors Morrison and
MacGowan were soon in attendance, but
the wounded man never recovered con-
sciousness.
The deceased was native of Pitts
burg and leaves wife. Atthe coroner's
inquest verdict was returned in ac-
cordance with the above facts.

when man appeared at the back door
witha shotgun and blazed away. Ha-

The thought came to me that many

He came in at that moment and
