Newfssndlaad won Her Case.

LONDON, May 30 The general opin-
Eion.ef gsA NewfoundIand question, not
withstanding the strained congratula-
tions of tha government newspapers, is
that the Newfoundlanders have got the
best of the affair, and have given Lord
Salisbury a chance for respectable re-
treat by passing bill that, all parties
understand, Is not to be enforced. This
result is chiefly due to the firm attitude
of the Newfoundlanders and to the
alarm caused by the news of the dis
loyal demonstrations at the celebration
of the queens birthday. This convinced
the government that the Newfoundland
ers were in earnest, and would start
another Boer war, if driven to despera-
ton.

Sommelsdyk, whose vessel was in the
harbor and who took prompt measures
for the general protection, wholesale
massacre would, it is thought, have

from Loss of Memory.
NEW York, May 30-The World says
that ex-President r. B. Hayes, who suf-
fered last winter from severe attack
of the grip, has had his memory affected
as an after effect of the disease. He can
talk but q minute or two, when he for
gets the topic of conversation. A cloud
seems at intervals to obscure his mental
vision, and he must pause until it passes
and leaves his mind free again. Even
then, on most occasions, he has COM

talking about. Mr.. Hayes feels his mis-
fortune keenly, but his friends all hope
that his affiiction viii not be protracted.

Proposed Closed Season Excites Sealers
Mt victoria--saiisbury Denounced.
LONDON, May 30.--A dispatch from
Victoria, B. c., says that great excite
ment prevails there over the proposed
action of the British government to pro-
hibit British subjects from catching
seals in the Behring sea during pro
posed close season, and that sealers
openly propose to evade any law that
may be passed ON the subject. The feel
ing in London and Liverpool among
merchants interested in the seal fisher
les, outside of the American is very
strong against the proposed measure,
and the government is freely denounced
for a eowardly surrender to the United
States. Sir Edward Reed, prominent
Liberal, said that the government
seemed to be clearing its decks for ap-
preaching complications in Europe, and
evidently did not intend TO have an
American quarrel on hand when Euro
pean troubles were threatening. Gen.
Allan said that the Canadians might get
better terms now than later on, should
EnglaGd become involved in foreign
war. Gen Allan thought the best thing
for the Canadians was TO acquiesce in
any course that the government should
deem best, no less for their benefit than
that OF the Americans.
Prohibit Seal Fishing.
LoNpoS, May 30.--I. is understood
| that the Behring sea bill, which is to be
| introduced in the house of commons, will
| totally prohibit the fishing for seals for
a year. The Standard, in commenting
ON the measure, says: If the bill is an
essential portion of the international ar.
.angement for the general restraint OF
the capture of seals it will be welcome
but If It imposes disabilities on British
subjects, while it leaves the hands OF
/ American adventures free, vast
amount of explanation will be necessary
to make it palatable to parliament OF
the country.

AFLOATER DISCOVERED.

Some little boys playing and fishing in
the river near the Wichita and Western
railroad bridge yesterday afternoon, were
Mortified at sight of the body of a small
child floating in the river. They at once
rushed to the city and notified the author
tiles of the fact. Coroner Badger, Chief Of
Police Burrows and deputy sheriff i'm
mediately started out to the scene of the
find and drew out of the current of the
river the lifeless form of little baby.
The body was in state Of decomposition
and emitted a very offensive odor.
\ closer inspection revealed the fact that
the skull of the babe was broken. It Is
surmised that the body was thrown into
the river some distance away as it showed
signs that it had been in the water for
some time. 1t is thought that the babe
came down from Hutchinson, as parties
along the river testified to having seen
something they supposed the body of the
babe floating, but as the river IS quite
high and the current swift, they were I'M
able TO take it out. The authorities at
Hutchinson have been notified.
