When bilious disorders are the
cause of dysentery or diarrhoea, OF
when they accompany those diseases,
the system must be cIeansed and the
bilious disorders corrected before the
dysentery or diarrhoea can be per-
manently cured. For this purpose
always use st. Patrick's Pills, and
after they have operated, take Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and speedy cure is certain.

Twelve Men Sink Beneath the Waves
With the Unfortunate Steamer

LONDON, Jan. 12.-The steamer Britain
MA from Leith came into collision with the
steamer Bear from Grangemouth in the
Firth of Forth, Scotland, at an early
hour this morning. The Bear sank
immediately, the crew having no

selves. OF the fourteen men on board the
Bear twelve went down with the vessel
The two others were rescued by a boat

ing slowly in the direction of Leith They

hawser connecting the vessels was snapped
asunder, and before another line could be
carried to the damaged vessel it gave
a terrible plunge and sank beneath the
waves. Fortunately, the crew had put on
life belts after the collision with the Bear
and all, with the exception of the chief en-
glneer, managed to keep afoat until they
were picked up by boats from the steamer
Thames. The chief engineer went down
with the vessel and nothing was seen of

The Behring Sea Controversy Before
the Highest Tribunal in the
Land.
Joseph ChOate Petitions the Supreme
Court for Writ Of Pr0hibi-
ton,
To Restrain the Alaska District Court
From Selling the British
Vessel.

| WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-The Behrino
sea fsealers controversy came up in the
| United States supreme court today on a
motion which has in view the judicial Ge-
| termination of the dispute between the
| United States and Great Britain, over the
| seal fisheries.
| Joseph Il. Choate, in behalf of Thomas
Henry Cooper, owner and claimant of the
British schooner W. P. Sayward, seized
| in the waters Of the Behrihg sea, by the
! revenue cutter Rust, petitioned
the court for a writ of prohibition to be
directed to the judge of the district court
of the United States of the territory of
Alaska, restraining him from proceeding
with the condemnation and sale Of the
vessel. The object is to have the court
take up and pass upon the question of
jurisdiction over these waters. The chief
justice gave the attorney general two
weeks to file an answer.
The brief field Mr. Choate begins by re-
citing that by the law of nations, the
municipal laws of the country have no
extra territorial force and cannot operate
on foreign vessels on the high seas and
it is legally impossible under public law for
iUrelgn vessel to commit breach of
municipal Jaw beyond the limits

making states; that the seizure
of foreign vessel beyond the limits of
municipal territorial Jurisdiction for a
breach Of municipal regulations is not
warranted by the law of natians and such
seizure cannot give jurisdiction to the
courts of the offended country. Last of
all where the alleged act was committed by
d foreign vessel DIT the place of seizure be
pond the municipal territorial Jurisdiction
that by the law of nations the British yes
sells sailing on the high seas is not sub
lect to any municipal Jaw except that of
Great Britain. The court is informed that
Sir John Thompson, her majesty's attor-
ney general of Canada, authorizes this
motion to be presented with the knowl-
edge and approval of the imperial govern
ment of Great Britain.

O'BRIEN TO JOEN PARNELs..
The Split in the Irish Party Gradually
Becoming More Serious

LONDON, Jan. 12.---It is reported that
Justin Mccarthy has written to Gladstone,
apprising him of what was done at the
last Boulogne conference.-the absolute re-
fusal to resign at the bidding of Parnel,
of the approval of that resolve by Healy
and Sexton, and asking the Liberal leader
for counsel.
Gladstone is said to have replied that
he regarded the conference as most COM
promising, and believes the easiest way
out of the difficulty is the best-get rid of
Parnell---that is to be done at al
most: any sacrifice. According to
all accounts the attitude as
sumed by Mccarthy has angered O'Brien,
who may join Parnell, but awaits the ar
rival of Dillon before taking decided
action.
There is every indication of serious
split in the majority of the Irish party.
Parnell's tactics are succeeding in dividing
his opponents and rendering himself indis-
pensible.

INDIANA'S GAS SUPPLY.
No Diminution of Pressure in the
Vicinity of the Wells.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 12.-The Sentinel

gas fields of the State as to the present
condition and prospects of the gas supply
The tenor of these reports is encourag-

other leading gas towns no perceptible
diminution of pressure is reported There
is an abundance of gas for domestic, manu-
featuring and Illuminating purposes, and
there are absolutely no indications of
falling off in the supply. Many wells have
failed but wells sunk in close proximity
to them are yielding freely.
