Elkins Wants Damages.

The seals In Boring sea are giving the
government an immense amount OF trouble
Secretary Blaine made himself sick in try.
ing TO ward off serious trouble with Eng
land about them, and the agreement he
made by which neither this country nor
Canada shall take any seals this season, ex-
cept $500 for food for the ma
tives of the Alaskan islands, has
opened the door for trouble with
the North American Commercial
Company, of which Mr.. Steve Elkins, the
great friend of Mr.. Blaine. is the chief
member. The North American CONNER
cial Company has a contract with the gov
eminent by which it is authorized
to take $1,000 seals each year. The
agreement with England prevents it
from getting any seals of consequence this
season, and, therefore, it wants the govern
ment to make good the profits it would
have made had it been permitted to carry
out its contract
1t is worthy of notice that the company
did not make a very vigorous protest
against the agreement with England It
didn't desire to take seals provided the gov
eminent would pay it as much as it would
make if permitted to take them. And it
looks as if it Lad pretty good claim against
the government 1t kept very quiet while
the negotiations with England were in pro-
gress, because it felt pretty certain that it
would lose nothing whether the negotia~
tions were successful or not.
Its claim can hardly be regarded as a
IL So - g
allowed that sum it will have no cause to
complain. 1t will be great deal better off
than if the agreement had not been made,
because the seals will be much more
numerous next season than they are this,
and the company. probably, will then be
permitted to take more than 60, 900 seals in
a season.
The agreement by which the sealeries are
closed this season promises therefore TO be a
very good thing for the North American
company. If it gets its claim for damages,
aud there Is not much reason to doubt that
it will, its treasury will be just as full as If
it took all the seals its contract
calls for. And if it had
taken $4,000 seals this season
there would not have been, from all ac-
counts. many seals to take next season, and
therefore Its contract with the government
would not have been a profitable one. By
giving the seals a chance to multiply the
value of its CONTRACT is increased. 1t is GER
tainly increased great deal if the claim
for damages is admitted. Mr.. Elkins is
very shrewd business man. And Mr.. Blaine
probably knew that the North American
company would claim damages if the
taking of the usual number of
seals this season was prohibited. But he
said nothing about that phase of the matter.
He thought probably that it was wiser to
get rid of one troublesome question before
considering another, and, besides. he may
not have been averse to letting his friend
Elkins have a chance to get a nice little
sum in the shape of damages from the gov
ernment

A Mad Ruler.

The opinion prevails in Port-au-Prince
that Hippolyte, the president of Hayti, is
insane. He certainly acts as If he were
No sane man, unless he were 6 monster of
wickedness, would be guilty of such crimes
as he has committed recently. His brutal
soldiers, by his orders, have shot to death
some Of the leading men of the republic,
and the hopeless victims were not even
given a trial. Some were murdered in the
streets, and four were dragged from the
Mexican consulate, where they had sought
an asylum.
And when the diplomatic corps called
upon Hippolyte to protest against the viola
ton of the Mexican consulate as an asylum
of refuge they were outrageously insulted.
For short time they thought they were to
be shot, 1t is said that the colored Ameri-
can minister. Frederick Douglass, trembled
with fright. 1t would not be surprising If
he should ask for leave of absence. He
has had all the experience in the Black Re-
public that he wants.
The British and German consuls talked SO
sharply to Hippolyt to that he in turn became
alarmed, and begged the consuls to say
| 1OehAhb w bhoh AooPCCbAfo kONoIuIuoutS
| about his treatment Of them. And he
promised solemnly that in future he would
respect the residences of the members of the
! diplomatic corps.
Hayti is in a worse condition to-day than
1t has been for years. Neither life nor
| property is safe there. And the prospect
for the future is not bright. The tr nth IS,
the Black Republic is a failure. Hippolyts
is king rather than president, and a
very despotio one. And for years there has
been no stable government on the island.
One revolution has succeeded another with
remarkable rapidity, and each one has been
marked by barbarities that have shocked
the civilized world.
The blacks of Hayti are not fit for self
government. They are ignorant. supersti-
tious and brutal. They have no idea Of what
good government is. They are obedient to
force only. Their beautiful and fertile
island is relapsing into wilderness. Even
the roads are being oblIterated. And if
any part of this country should pass to the
absolute control of the blacks a similar con-
dition of affairs would exist in that locality.

Computations of the prospective amount
that the government will be called upon to
pay out in sugar bounties as calculated by
the financial editors of various prominent
newspapers in different parts of the country
disclose quite discrepancy in the amount
and diversity of opinion as to the crop
aggregate. While two or three estimate
the total amount of the required bounty
money at SS,000,000. the New York World
puts it at Sl2, zoo, 900 aud the Philadelphia
Record reckons it at SIS. 900. 900. and init
mates that that may prove rather under than
over the mark. AT all events it will amount
to enough to make the planters feel pretty
comfortable and cause the instigators and
supporters of wildcat tariff legislation to
feel strongly inclined to kick themselves
across the continent.

fire in an almost empty stationary engine

down to warm, got very sudden start up

Since he got back he has lost faith in
engines, and spends most of his time in a

to warm up" he will probably build his
fire on top of something that will not be
likely to let go SO impulsively. and then
he will not warm up quite 80 high.

W. r. G. Installation.

The regular annual installation of Of
fcers of the Womans' Relief Corps of
this city took place in Odd Fellows
hall on Saturday evening. 1t was a
quasi public affair. The ladies of the
corps with their husbands and the
members of the post with their wives
filed the hall to overlooking.
Mrs. Ida w. Moore acted as INSTALL
ing officer and she did the work with
much credit to herself and honor to
the organization. Those installed
were: Mrs. Alice NJ. Seeds, president;
Mrs. Angus NJ. Hoover, senior vice
president; Mrs. Martha Merriield, jun

After this the proceedings were in
formal and thoroughly enjoyable
evening was spent by all. Short i'm

and interesting recitations were given
by Misses Cora Keller and frankie

dered by Miss Lizzie Anderson. The
supper tables next appeared loaded
down with good substantial eatables to
which the great number present did
ample justice.

A FORMER ABILENE TOUGH
DOES UP SALINAITES.
The Gullible Villagers Fork Over All
They HaVe-He Ends Up by Forg-
ing Check and Then Takes French
Leave.

According to reports the little village
of Salina, 25 miles west of here, has
been again done up, this time by one
of Abilene's cast off residents. Bill
McCardy was for time a dishOnored
tough of this town. He had no re-
spect for the powers that be and came
within an ace of having his graceless
carcass inside the bars on various Oc-
casions. Finding life too severe a
struggle in the metropolis he concluded
to 90 to a more verdant region and of
course tackled Salina.
Arrived there he felt the need of
some money and persOnating deputy
revenue collector he strutted around
in great style. By some means he be-
came possessed of some revenue cOllec-
tors blanks and when after ordering
and taking drink at one of the hotels
he demanded the houses license there
was CONSERVATION on all sides. He
produced his documents and threatened
immediate arrest unless money was
forthcoming to the amount of $50.
The proprietor did not have that
amount of cash, but fOrked over $50
and gave the rascal. revolver to
balance the account. McCardy made
life a burden for the people of the town
for day or two and getting into debt
on account of some gambling debts
forged the name of William Peters of
this place to check and paid his hotel
bills with it. Then he skipped on the
winds of the morning and the police
officers will probably not get glimpse
of his features soon again.
