BERANG SEA.

1t appears that the Bering sea matter
will be settled satisfactorily to both Great
Britain and the United States without any
trouble. There will be no more war talk
over it and the growing cities and towns OF
Puget Sound that scarcely ever see war
like vessel can now rest easy. The senate
when it meets will not delay the ratihca-
tion of treaty for the settlement Of the
controversy. President Harrison is to be
given great credit for bringing about the
way for modus vivendi with Great Brit
ain, during the illness Of Secretary Blaine.
All extreme positions were abandoned by
the chief executive who is remarkably
good lawyer on International as we'll as on
other questions. The final settlement Of
the question, after brushing aside all di-
plomatic chicanery is as honorable to the
United States as to Great Britain. BY the
cooperation Of the two countries, the seal
fishing interests Of Bering sea will be pro
tected and the pirating proolivities of yes
sells of both nations stopped.

Female Book CanKassers.

Housewives often complain that the fe-
male book canyasser comes in upon them
fortified with the knowledge Of Their
names and the fact that they have on
former occasions INDUCED in the folly of a
subscription to work in parts, and that
intruder until they have again Welded to
her solicitations to put down their names.
There is but one way to get on with these
agents, if you want to get them out. Care
fully refrain from entering into discus
sion with them. Say firmly that YOU do
not want the book, adhere to that line
alone, go not an iota beyond or behind or
beside ofsa II; Say INC" plainly, and nothing
to work, invite her to depart, politely but
positively. But never argue; then you're
lost, and she will get your name and YOU
will get LAUGHED at bE your husband.

bloody anarchists. Here is what the Chi

are prepared to give the police big dose

time was at hand in which the police will
be completely annihilated." Another that

WASHINGTON is one of the few states in
the union where there is no danger of the
aggregation of untaxed property by re-
igious seots. General Grant warned the
people of the country against it fifteen
years ago. Since that time the value of
untaxed "church" property-so called in
this country-has risen to nearly three
thousand million dollarsl 1t is quite
needless to ask where this scandaIous and
infamous abuse will end. Every man with
the least bit of gray, matter in his head
can see that it means disaster to our poster
ity, and SO sure as darkness follows daylight,
so surely will the continued accumulation
of untaxed church property in the United
States lead, in the near future to confsca-
tions perhaps at the point Of the sword.
The amount that could be secured from
the annual taxation Of church real estate
would be sufficient to place every pauper
family now starving in the cities of the
United States upon fertile lands Of our un-
occupied territories

MINISTER DOUGLAS,

In the Course of AN Interview, Denies
that His Resignation was Made by Re-
quest, or that There was Any Friction
Between Him and the State Department
or the President.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Minister
Frederick Douglass denied, in an inter-
view yesterday, the statement that his
resignation as Haytian minister was
requested. "In no manner" he said,
'either the president or the state de-
partment intimated that my resigna-
ton would be acceptable. On the con-
trary, ] have received only the kindest
treatment from both the head of the
government and the department. My
resignation was rendered on purely
personal grounds. The labors at Hayti
had become onerous to me, as I
foresaw would be the case, and
my resignation therefore followed. At
the time l accepted the ministry to

would only be possible for me to hold
the position for two years, and then I
should ask to be relieved. When was

llayu one more year, So, you see,
there was nothing sudden or forced
about my resignation at this time"
Mr. Douglass said he had no COM
plants to make against the president
and the department of state. but he
considered he had full cause for griev-
ancc against some others, and par
ticularly against number of news

garding his official work. At the

A CANUCK SENSATION.

Bombshe1l Thrown Into Canadian
Political Circles In the Shape of the
Resignation Of Sir Hector Langevin from
the Ministry in the Face of the Pending
Investigation of Alleged Boodling-A
Denial of All Charges
OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 12.-Sir Hec-
tors Langevin's resignation proved II
bombshell in political circles, and is
the sensation of the day. 1t was to.
tally unexpected at this stage of the
proceedings in the investigation now
going on. Before the privileges and
elections committee yesterday Sir Hec-
tor read q lengthy defense. He said
he would preface it with the statement
that he had resigned in justice to his
colleagues in parliament and the
committee. His statement was
very voluminous. lie denied en-
phatically all the charges pre-
ferred against him and asserted
his innocence in the most positive man
ner. 1t was absolutely false that he
had ever received $40, 900 from Owen E.
| Murphy; he had had no relations what
ever with Murphy. lie was not aware
that his son had received cent either
indirectly or directly. He contended
that his administration of the depart
ment of public works was perfectly
honorab bic and that there had been no
manipulation of public contracts. In
support of each assertion he quoted
documents and papers which he con-
sidered irrefutable proof Of his inno-
cence.
With regard to Mr.. Peters, who said
he gave Sir Hector $40, 900 in 1887, tho
minister said he had no recollection OF
the transaction. Even if the payment
was made for election purposes, as Mr..
Peters had declared under oath, it must
be remembered Sir Hector pointed out.
that this alleged occurrence took place.
six years after Mr. Peters had ceased
to perform the work of the public
works department..
Sir Hector reviewed all the evidence
in a most comprehensive manner. He
denied that he had ever profited by any
OF the contracts, and says he has never
had private dealings with any contrac-
tors or anybody, inconsistent with his
position as minister of the crown.

Greevy, member of parliament for

the public works scandal, will resign

until the fact is thoroughly proven that
it is practical TO cause rain by artificial
means. The gentlemen of the scientific
party are highly gratifcd with the re-
