WILL BE HARMONIOUS.
Jay Goulds Views on the Prospects for
Traffic.


NEW YORK, May An talk with a
reporter today Jay Gould said that he
thinks that the meeting Of the Western
Traffic association Wednesday will be a
harmonious one. 1t is quite possible that d
question Of joint agencies will be seriously
considered. The association, he said,
should prove powerful influence for
good and the effect of its future actions
should be shown. The information caused
a turn of the tide and undoubtedly
averted panic. Mr.. Gonld said his trip
to the east made him feel very hopeful
He found the crops in a fine condition and
the prospects generally encouraging He
has not sold any stocks; on the contrary,
he has been an extensive buyer, and at no
previous time in twelve months has he
is impossible to say whether we
we shall have active money this
year, but money will be comparatively
easy until late in the fall and even then
we may not experience the slightest
stringency. especially if Europe buys our
bread stuff, and there are more than
reasonable prospects that it will.
He feels convinced that matters
are on the mend and he repeats
his belief that the present is not
simply bull movement but that the year
will be bull one.
President Hughitt, Of the Northwestern
road, thinks the western traffic meeting
will be a peaceable one. Hhe railroad
companies, he says, are unit on the cues
ton of maintaining rates and are dclng
business on a sound basis.

road company has just arrived from Green

prospects are very favorable in that dir
ection; and that if the Green Bay. Winona
& St. Paul csmpany does not extend its
line here that the Wisconsin Central
sure y will, as it has signifed its inten-
ton TO do so if the other concern fails to
build very soon. Of course the bonus
voted TO the Green Bay, Winona & St.
Paul will then be transferred to the Wis
consin Central. 1t is expected that the
parties interested will be there next
Monday, when-the question will be diff
nitely determined.

ENTER A REJOINDER.
The Defenders of Canada Submit Briefs
in the Behring Sea Case.


WASHINGTON, May2.-Messrs. Choate
and Carlisle, counsel for the Canadian
government in the Behring Sea case, have
prepared supplementary brief, in the ma
ture Of rejoinder to tie brief of the
attorney general. Ia it counsel reiterates
the assertion that the seizure of the Say
ward was without warrant of
law or under the executive con-
struction OF the revised statutes.
The claim is made that all courts are in
ferior to the supreme court and subject to
its mandamus or prohibition. The only
real question in the case they say, is:
HAS the United States jurisdiction of
the conduct of foreign vessel in the
waters of the Behring sea more
than marine league from its
shores? After discussion the objection
Of the attorney to an examination
by the 5suprene court of the entire
proceedings of the Alaska district court.
the counsel say the only question with
which this court is called upon to concern
itself is the jurisdiction of the district court.
Referring to the statement of the attorney
general that the claimant did not apply
for writ of prohibition before sentence,
the counsel say that the petitioner could
not apply for want OF time, upon the pro-
ceedings from libel to sentence
being completed in six days and
at the time when the supreme court was
not in session. Counsel contend at length
that there is nothing in the evidence to
show that seals were killed within the
three mile limit and quoted from the evil
dence to prove that assertion. In conclu-
sion they assert there can be
no doubt that the seizure was made with
out reference to the acts committed within
three miles of the main land or adjacent
island and under the instructions of the
secretary Of the treasury, which hold ali
that sealing east of the 93rd meridian
is violation Of paragraph |, $50 R. S.,

opinion in the celebrated case of ex Sena
tor FarwelI against the Great Western
Company and others to set
4 side the claims of Selah
Reeve ct al, and to vacate
an assessment of 35 per cent. against l 200
stockholders of the company to meet an

expunged as invalid; that George F.
Harding be compelled to account for some
-60,0 900 alleged to have been received by
him in excess of the claims; that Suther-

GREAT MINE AT ASHLAND
Very Rich Vein OF Bessemer Ore I'm
covered iu the Anvil.

ASHLAND. Wis, May A specia,
from Ironwood states that a new vein
has been struck at the Anvil mine and
has provoked quite sensation in min
ing circles.
This mine was one Of the first devel.
oped on the Gogebic range and was
formerly one of the Burton-Tarbell
properties. 1t has had quite a history
Of ups and downs. About a year ago
the ore gave out and the vein practi-
cally cola psed. Since that time
the company has been sinking a
new shaft. Within the past few weeks
it has struck new body of high grade
Bessemer ore. A great effort has been
made to keep the matter quiet in order
to secure the stock.
The extent of the find is 100 feet in
width. 1t is undoubtedly The biggest
strike of the season.

LAST OF THE 6ORCIAS.
The Last Descendant of PoSes and
Princes Dies in Poyerty.

BERLIN. May The last of the
famous Borgias has just died in the
most abject poverty at GingI, near
Salzburg, and his widow has been re
moved TO Z public hospital in dying
condition, the consequence of priva-
tion. The deceased was the great
grandson of Don Alberto Borgia,
Ihe last OF the great race to
bear the rauk and honors of
Prince, and his father was Baron
Friedrich Borgia, a professor in Fssegg.
The deceased himself made a living as
a small official anu afterward as a
pholograp Ill-health prevented
HIM from providing for old age. and
the descendant OF Popes, Cardinals and
Princes spent the asst year of his ex-
istence as street mendicant. His wife
was washerToman, who, womaulike,
thought the tide ample compensation
for the disadvantages of the Gomez
ton. The expense of the Princes
funeral has been betrayed by the En-
peror of Austria, who only heard of
the mans sad plight after his death.
