Shameful Treatment OF Peaceful Natives
by American Fishermen.
BosroN, Oct. IA sad tale oi out
rage and rapine comes from the peace
iul island OF Iceland, where the simple
hearted natives, following the yirtuous
prccepts of their ancestors, know
naught OF jails and police. This lack OF
so-called civilization has been taken ad-
vantage OF by sailors visiting the
isle, which, disgraceiul TO relate
are mostly Americans. Some
faint reports oil the recent
goings i'll Iceland have reached here,
especially some OF the acts brought out
by the arrest OF the crew recently OF
the schooner T. D. Winohestcri in these
waters. \ letter just received here by
the fishing companies from Consular
Agent II. G. Cram, begging that the
companies take some active measures
looking to the better control OF their
crews while in lCeland's waters gives
the first Official information OF the real
state OF affairs there. Says he:
"lhc situation is desperate, and il
not at once remedicd, will lead to the
interference OF the Danish Government
and result in the
EXPULSION OF AMERICANS
From the island. As it is the people
have appealed to the king. During the
past season, when tho halibut industry
look n big increase, these waters have
been infested by New England fishing
crafts, the crews OF which have been OF
the most brutal and disreputablc char
acter. Not only have the lives OF some
oi the captains been in jeopardy,
but tie case OF the inhabitants on shore
has been worse, rs gangs OF intoxicated
Aueri can fishermen roamcd over the
island, insulting the people, outraging
the women, stormed ut night the homes
OF peaceful cottaScrs and. beating in
their windows and doors, dragged the
inmates from their beds and maltreatcd
and robbed them. There are no jails
and police, so the men 20 unpunished.
The sailors have, on threats OF murder,

The arrangement that Sir John Macdonald
lined In despatch sent from Ottawa to the
British government asking the latter's per-
mission to negotiate. First, Sir John wants
a renewal Of the reciprocity treaty of 1854,
with some alterations and extensions, but
covering presumably the same subject
matter, namely, the natural products of the
two countries; second, admission of Cana.
dian fish In return for facilities for United
States vessels to purchase bait and supplies
along the Dominion coast and tranship
cargoes; third, protection of mackerel and
other fish on the Atlantic ocean and inland
waters; fourth, relaxation of the seaboard
coasting laws of the two countries: fifth, re-
taxing of the coasting laws of the two
countries on the inland waters dividing Can
ada from the United States; sixth, mutual sal.
wage and saving of wrecked vessels seventh,
arrangements for settling the boundary be-
tween Canada and Alaska. 1t will be seen
that there is no proposal here for reciprocity
In manufactured goods. The Dominion
wants US, a nation OF 60 900 of people, to
open our markets to their natural products,
and in return 1t will open the market of Its
100000 people to our natural products.
That is reciprocity of the jug handle variety,
very attractive no doubt to the Canadian
farmer and miner, but hardly so welcome
we imagine to the American farmer and
miner. The Dominion wants free entry in.
to the United States for its fish, in return for
which it will afford privileges to our
fishermen which the latter have over and
over again declared they can much better
afford to go without than to pay the price de-
manded. The Dominion also wants to take
part In our coasting trade in considera-
tion of which privilege 1t will allow our ves-
sells to take part in its comparatively limited
coasting trade. We don't believe that our
State department will give these propositions
a moments consideration. Indeed in his
dispatch to Mr.. Baksr. Mr.. Blaine has al
ready natisfied the Dominion that it will be
Of no use for it to submit them.

The latest scheme Of the free coinage men
is to tack Senator Vests free coinage amend
ment on to the pension appropriation bill
when it comes to the Senate. send it back to
the House with this amendment and get it
adopted there and then put the President in
position where he must approve the bill
with the amendment or veto 1t, and thus
leave the pensioners unprovided for. This
scheme has the merit Of shrewdness, though
1t smacks strongly of dishonesty, but it will
not accomplish what the free coinage men
are after. Rather than giyehis consent to
free coinage the President would undoubt-
eddy veto the whole bill and call an extra
session of Congress to provide for the pen
sioners. That such plot has been devised
shows that the silver men are desperate and
that they greatly fear delay.

as he lay back putting his cigar. Il
was in California, and while there L
freuuentled very fashionable place.
There came to that place every night q
Young man. We all liked him, because
he seemed rather innocent, and many
Of us gave him the advice to stay away,
but he only smiled and said he would
some day.
zone night he came7 looking rather
pale, for lately he hadjlost heavily. lie
sat down and commenced to play In an
excited manner; but game after game
he lost He took out his pocketbook
and placed the contents on the table
and lost. Then l saw him turned pale
and take a package from his pocket
and stake that-it belonged to his firm
and he lost it.
"After that he passed in his watch
and received the cash, staked that and
lost. Two of his rings followed and
lost. We all felt sorry for him and
heartily wished he would win. At last
all he had was a thin gold ring, not
worth much. He looked at it, and the
expression that came over his face IS
one that | shall never forget.
.'He passed in the ring, and although
il worth about 81 the cashier advanced
$50. He played, and the boys put up
all his money, the firms money, his
watch and rings against the $50, and he
won. Then. when success came, he
laid his head on his arm. We waited
five minutes tor him to get up, but he
did not, and then we lifted his head up
and saw that he was dead.
eve found out afterwards that the
ring which changed his luck was his
dead mothers ring. l often tried to
think what agonies he must have suf-
fered; what .recollections must have

The sanctity OF the Tomb.

Greek and Roman alike paid the
greatest respect to the remains of the
departed, and were very anxious that
nothing should disturb the ashes or the
bones of the dead or violate the sancti-
ty.. of the sepulchre. Everybody will
recall the lines or Shakespeare's tomb
at Stratford-on-Avon, but for downright
intensity of anathema the following
would be hard to match in modern
times:
l give to the gods below this tomb to
keep, to Pluto and to Demeter and PerSe-
phone and the Erinnyes and all the gods
below. If any shall disfgure this sepul-
chre or shall open IT, to him let there be no
earth to walk, no sea to sail, but may he
be rooted out with all his race. May he
madness, and whatever ills exist for beasts
or men, may these light on him who dares
move aught from this tomb.
This is from tomb at Athens erected
by Borrowing wife to her husband,
"most SWEET but similar expressions
are very common. Sometimes in addi-
ton blessings are invoked on the man
who leaves the tomb undisturbed, or
who will make libations to the dead.
Sometimes we meet the request that
flowers may be thrown upon this tomb.
In some cases the sanctity of the
tomb is defended, not by supernatural
terrors, but by the prosaic statement of
the fine to which the offending person
made himself liable. Sometimes the
particular form of declaration which
was most to be feared was mentioned
with the simple directness which one
may admire but dare not initiate. Corn
