blaine and salisbury.

Mr.. Blaine's reply to Lord Salisourys
evasive offer of arbitration in regard TO
Behring Sea is as able as it is adroit. IL
is strong, concise and to the point.
There is no verbiage about it, no play
ing with words, none OF the solemn and
cumberson cant of conventional diplo-
macy. The questions which the United
States government is willing to arbi-
trate are stated with such explicitness
as to leave room for no pretense of mis-
understanding on the part of Lord Sails
bury. The secretary of state politely
but decidedly corrected the British
premier's pretended misrepresentation
of the position of the United States, in
several particulars. He declares that
the United states, providing the arbi-
traitors decide against them, will pay
just damages to owners of Canadian
ships seized, If in case we shall win, the
seals taken by the Canadian vessels are
to be paid for at the market price of
seal skins. This proposition is so man.
ifestly fair thatiit will be difficult for
Lord Salisbury to refuse it. Mr..
Blaine holds that the United States,
without recurring to its interested and
superior rights in Alaska" has las full
authority to go beyond the three mile
line in case OF proved necessity as Great
Britain possesses" This is something
which Englishmen cannot deny. And
he shows conclusively that the British
parliament no later than 1889 passed a
law to control the fisheries in no less
than 2, 700 square miles OF water off the
northeastern coast of Scotland, Alaska
is as much our territory as Scotland is
Great Britain's. If parliament, I'M
challenged by the world, can pass and
enforce laws regulating fishing over
that great sea area, why may not the
United States prescribe space around
the Pribylov Islands in which similar
prohibitions may be enforced?" This
is pointed question, which the Brit
ish government and its servile
defendants in the mugwump
press Of the United States will find il
hard to answer. Mr.. Blaine makes it
still harder for them by proposing as
the needed legislation by congress
covering our rights in Behring Sea- a
paraphrase of the act of parliament
covering the British rights claimed of
the coast of Scotland. In conclusion,
Mr. Blaine shows that Russia claimed
and exercised undisputed sovereignty
over Alaska, and that for the first nine
teen years OF the United States posses.
sion of Alaska, England did not ques-
ton our rights over the Alaskan seal
fisheries. He adds, trenchantly: 1T
is yet to be determined whether the
lawless intrusion OF the Canadian ves-
sells in 1886 and subsequent years has
changed the law and equity OF the case
heretofore prevailing" Americans OF
patriotism will be sure that it has not

The Premium on American Gold Reduced

NEW YORK, May 25.-The Post says:
About II o'clock it was reported, and is
undoubtedly true, that the bank of En-
gland had reduced its premium on
American gold eagles one-half penny
per ounce. AS for the Bank of En-
gland, there Is no reason for cOntinu-
ance of charging a premium for gold, as
it has already largely reinforced its
specie reserve. 4S7,O pounds being re-
ported as having gone into the bank in
bullion to-day. All things considered,
the exports of 100000 gold from this
country have put the Bark of England
in a position where it will be able to af-
ford relief to others instead of purchas-
ing the whole money market in order to
maintain its own position. The whole
financial condition of Europe is still
very satisfactory, but as far as this
country is concerned, Europe can not
draw any more cash out of US than we
owe, no matter how badly they might
want it or how much premium they
may be willing to pay for gold.

A TRAVELLED CORR Sc.
A Widow who Has Carried Her Hus-
bands Body Over the Country.



From the NeD York World.
ST. PAUL, MIMI, Jan. 30.-The most
Travelled corpse in the United States is prob
ably that of John 8. Cornish, who de-
parted this life ten years ago, and which
has been iourneying to and fro ever since in
obedience to the orders of Mrs Cornish,
who cannot exist in comfort unless the
body of her husband rests within short
distance Of her.
Mr.. and Mrs Cornish were married in st.
Paul in 1889, and after q brief aud happy
honeymoon, left the city for Los Angeles,
Cal, where they intended to reside. In the
fall of the same year. while riding with his
wife, Mr.. Cornish was thrown from the
buggy and killed outright. The widow was
inconsolabie and her mental sutferings were
terrible to witness. She was completely
Frustrated, and fears for her sanity were
entertained. The body of hor husband was
embalmed, funeral services held and the
body placed in vault. Here it rested for
two years until Mrs. Cornish concluded to
move to Freeport, III. She packed her
household goods and with them had the
body of her late husband shipped to her
new home. In Freeport the corpse was
placed in a vault and rested for FIVE years
undisturbed by friend OF foe. After living
in Frecport for five years Mrs. Cornish
concluded that Dayton, o., was q more de-
sirable place Of residence and SO, packing
her effects, she ordered the body and her
goods sent along TO Dayton, and in due time
they arrived in safety. Mrs. Cornish was
evidently impressed with Dayton, for she
had handsome vault fitted up and for
another five years the bones of

HENS WITT STRANGE PETS
One Ministers to a Trio OF 6parrows
and Another TO Kittens
A.. vi Tys~,1s

and Another to Kittens
From the Eelo York Times
LANCASTER, PENN, Jan. 80 - John
Stewart Of Columbia owns a clucking hen
that is carefully nursing a trio Of sparrows,
fnIly grown and able-bodied. Charles
Starbaugh of Hanover has hen that is
bIooding in a most affectionate way over a
pair Of kittens
The sparrows iutter about In the bushes
and in the trees near the farm yard during
the day, keeping as near as possible in the
neighborhood Of the hen, whose wings un-
fortunately do not enable her to accompany
her adopted brood; but at nightfan all the
sparroWs like LITTLE chicks, come back and
gather eagerly beneath the protecting wings
of the mother hen in her nest in the chicken
yard. Before dnybreak, however, they set
up great chatteripg. and, becoming real
sparrows again after q nights rest, take
leave Of the old hen and start out again on
their customary excursions. The sparrows
we're placed with the hen last summer, be-
fore they had learned to fly, their parental
nest having been destroyed and the father
and mother sparrow driven away IN q
storm. The affection existing between
them and their foster mother, the hen, Is
the wonder Of the neighborhood.
In the odd case Of the kittens at Hanover
the situation is similar. The pussies some-
times wander away from the old hen, Dut
she soon hunts them up and gathers them
under her wings. They seem content with
the hen, except when they happen to get
very hungry. Then they return to their
real mother. She does not appear to be a
bit jealous of the interest taken in her chil~
dren by the old hen.
A Maltese cat belonging to Farmer How
ard Murphy of salisbury township, over in

took fire, whereupon she ran to the barn
in flaming condition, moving aud squeal-

municated to the straw in the barn. and
soon the entire structure was reduced to
ashes and its contents consumed, although
frantic efforts were made to get out the
live stock and implements.
