fectly natural the United States authorities
and publishers are irate over the refusal of
the privilege to copyright in Canada under
the arrangement already existing between
the United States and Great Britain, which
was supposed to sanction registration in all
the British possessions. Sir John Thomp-
son holds that the agreement between the
United States and Great Britain is only an
arrangement aud does not amonnt to an in
ternational treaty, nsequently he argues
that Canada is not bound by it and need not
respect it. The copyright branch of the
Department of Agriculture has accepted
this view, and obeying instructions from the
Minister of Justice refuses all United States
citizens who apply for registration for copy
right. The Canadian politicians contend
that they have as much right to legslate in
regard TO copyr light as they have in other
International trade matters, such as bills of
exchange, etc.

was the son of Joseph Farnsworth of Syca-

boy was a wild young fellow, and slightly
addicted to drink. This afternoon he met
his intended, who. with her sister, was out
walking. He asked them to 60 home. but
they refused. and urged him to accompany
them to the levee. Instead of complying
with their request, he went in an opposite
direction, procured revolver, and again
met them, and grabbing his intended by the

ID. n. Easton Arrested on a Charge of
Embezzlement.
Officer Reynolds arrested d. N Easton
last evening on a warrant charging him
with embeZlement, the complaining witness
Icing A. E. Ryan. When arrested Easton
was at the Oakland ferry, and had two silk
dresses in his possession On being taken
to the City Prison he was approached for
information on the charge placed against
him, but would not speak about the matter,
saying: IF anything is to be said my
brother will say il"
From another source the story OF tran
saction of EaSton's was cleaned which, in
all probability, led to his Incarceration last
evening.
1t stems that several months since Easton
approached an old lady with a proposition
to purchase piece of property then in liti-
CATION, which could be secured at very low
figure on account of a flaw in the title,
due TO deed being missing, which,
it is reported, he declared lie could
produce. The smOunt TO be invested was
$4,000, and when the title was perfected
Easton and his client were to share the
profits. Since then it is also reported that
the client has seen neither profits nor prin-
cipal, and hence the warrant. 1t may,
however, only be another method of briug-
ing about settlement that should naturally
be sought in the civil courts.
When spoken to in regard to the story
given above Easton, however, refused
either to affirm or deny it.

trains on the road from Blairstown to Della
ware Station. 1t had been standing on the
main track at Blairstown and was run into
by freight train. The throttle was thrown
wide open by the shock, and before any
one could leap on board the engine it was
tearing down the track a mile minute.
The small knots of people at the various
stations heard a rushing roar and saw
a flash of FURNISHED brass as the engine flew
by. A passenger train for New York on
the New York, Susquehanna and Western
road was almost due at Portland, and every
one expected collision on the tracks, which
are used jointly by the two roads, but the
runaway reached the POughkeepsie road
crossing, near Columbia, and was switched
on to that road TWO minutes before the Sus-
Quehanna train came along. The switch
was turned hall a minute before the engine
reached it, otherwise nothing would have
saved the passenger train. The engine
dashed across the bridge at Portland at the
rate OF seventy miles an hour. Steam began
falling on the grade west Of here, the engine
slackened its speed, and man from an
other locomotive stepped on board and
stopped ii. The run from BlairStOwn to

A searching party was organized ms soon

He VIII Live, While the Chances Are
Against Her Recovery.
Charles Vest, the lumberman from Jeffer-
son, Iowa, who shot his wife Emma in the
Brooklyn Hotel Saturday and then tried to
end his own miserable life. was in fair
way to recovery yesterday. Tie wound in
his left side is not considered of fatal ma
ture.
No charge has yet been recorded against
him. but an officer remains seated by his cot
to prevent any possibility of escape. After
a consultation with Carroll Cook, who he
has retained as his attorney, he decided to
uphold the first story he told after being
taken to the hospital. This was that his
wife had always been a good woman and
that he had shot her because she refused to
live with him. His defense will be insan-
ity, as he now claims to remember nothing
about the shooting.
The victim of his murderous fusilade suf-
fered intensely from the wounds in her
right breast and side as she tossed on the
hospital cot yesterday. Several friends
were seated near her and administered to
her wants as best they could. After sec
ond examination of her wounds the sur
geons said that there was very slim chance
for her recovery. 1t would be at least one
or two days before her condition could be
correctly determined. In that time there
may be a change for the better.
No sympathy is expressed for Vest, and
upon his recovery he will be vigorously
prosecuted,

India in Madison avenue Episcopal Church

glish Government with encouraging the
consumption of opium among its subjects in
India for the sake of revenue. In order to
encourage and stimulate the cultivation of
the poppy plant upward of 100000 acres of
the best lands in India, he said, were de-
voted to the cultivation, with an annual
average production of 100000 pounds,
which is consumed in India, China and Bur

Curious SheIl-Fish Found in Islands of

One of the most singular-looking creatures
that ever walked the earth or Swan the
waters under the EARTH is the world
famous man-faced crab of Japan.
Its body is hardly an inch in length, yet
the head is fitted with a face which is the
perfect counterpart of that OF a Chinese
cody: a veri,able missing link, with eyes,
nose and mouth all clearly defined.
The curious and uncauny creature, be-
sides the great likeness 1t bears to human
being in the matter of facial features, is
provided with two legs which seem to grow
from the top Of its head and hang down
over the sides of its face.
Besides these legs two "feelers." each
about an inch in length, grow from ttp
'chin" of the animal, looking for all the
world like Colonel's forked beard. These

Goverdment has prohibited the holding of
public meetings until all signs OF uneasi-

are commanded not to make any remarks
about Da Fonseca's dissolution of Congress

There are many evidences that the Repub-

President. Baron De Lecena is the only
one of the Ministry who remains in the Die

Imperialist.
