LONDON, june ,25.-Hulukulu, one of
the envoys of King Gunhama> fell
nearly dead from fright yesterday. At
the Dorchester House, after speaking
into a photograph, he heard his own
words accurately repeated by the instru-
ment. 1t was some time before he
rsgained courage to ask questions, as he
thought witch doctor was in the pho
nograph. He proposed to silence the
witch by stuffing dried frogs leg into
the instrument, along with some other
charms he had with him. Having been
dissuaded from this and the matter err
planned, he said it was No use for him to
tell lies, as all his words were recorded.

Returns having been rec eived from the
United States district court of Alaska, the
Behring Sea case will probably proceed In
the Supreme court of the United States be-
fore long. April 18th is thought to be the
probable date. 1t will be remembered that
the British schooner Sayward was con-
demned by the Alaskan court for catching
seals in Behring Sea. There being no APP
peal from that Alaskan court in such cases
to the United States Supreme court, the
counsel of the owners of the Sayward in con-
JUNCTION with counsel for the British gov
eminent have moved before the United
States Supreme court for a writ of prohibit
ton, this being form of legal procedure
awaited OF to get the case before our Supreme
court In spite Of the fact that the law pro-
vides for no direct appeal. The former hear
ing on this case in Washington was when
the court determined whether it should en-
terrain the motion for a writ CT prohibition.
It was argued by the Attorney General at
that time that the motion should not be en-
tertained because the Supreme court had no
business to interfere in the settlement OF a
question before the State department. The
court, however, decided to entertain the mo-
ton; and the arguments now will be on the
point whether the writ of prohibition shall
issue. that is, whether the Supreme court
shall in effect set aside the verdict of the
Alaskan court in the Sayward case. Should
1t do SO, it would settle whether our gov
ernment can claim exclusive jurisdiction In
Behring Sea beyond the three-mile limit.

Rhode Island holds her annual state cleo
tion to-day. at the last election the Demo-
Gratis won, electing Governor Davis. In the
congressional elections last fall the Demo-
Gratis also won one congressional district,
and they have .since won the other in a
special election. But In spite of their recent
victories they do not feel at all confident OF
the result to-day. The Republican candi-
date is Ex-Governor Ladd, who preceded
Davis in the office, The British Americans
are quite factor In Rhode Island politics;
and this year they will probably supper t
Ladd. The Republicans have been doing
good deal Of missionary work in the country
towns, and expect to get a majority of the
legislature. This is an important advantage
In Rhode Island politics. Two years ago the
Republicans failed to elect Ladd by a ma
jority; but the legislature being Republican
he was elected there. The expectation seems
to be that to-day the Republicans will elect
their state ticket; but predictions as to the
probable action of Rhode Island voters have
been unsafe since the abolition of the prop
erty qualification for voters admit a large
number of new franchises into the ELECTORAL
system. Rhode Island adopted the Aus
tralian ballot year or two ago, and will
vote according to that system to-day.

We presume the intention Of the trainers
Of the law against pigeon shooting was not
merely to put a stop to the shooting of pig
cons. but also to prevent trap shooting of every
kind in which live birds are used. Unfortu-
nately, however. they specified pigeons and
pigeons only, so that any other kind of bird
may be used without violating the letter of
the law. In ''shoo" which took place re-
Gently in this vicinity Peoria blackbirds
were substituted for pigeons, and though the
performance was just as barbarous an one as
it would have been had pigeons been used,
and just as contrary to good morals, still the
law as it stands does not touch it. The law
should be amended SO as to cover all trap
shooting in which live birds are used, no
matter what their species.

aid did not play the part represented by the
Herald, The bill first introduced In the
Name legislature two years ago was drawn
and championed by Mr.. Looney, Republi-
can. 1t had a certain amount of Democratic
strength, but leading Democrats like Dickey.
Of Fl. Kent, Talbot, of Machias, and Madi-
gan. of Houlton voted against It, It's no
Misrepresentation to say that the most ag-
gressive support of the ballot bill two years
ago came from Republicans and Republican
newspapers. We think the same may be
said of the agitation this year. We know OF
but two or three Republican daily papers out
of the ten or more In the State that have OPP
posed the reform. The rest of the ten have
advocated it strongly. The Republican gov
ernor OF the State recommended it in his
message, Republican representative cham
pioned the BILL and in one legislative body
the Senate, the bill was passed by an over
whelming Republican majority. So far as
the Senate is concerned 1.-THE representations
of the Boston Herald are entirely unfounded
The vote OF the Republican members of the
Senate was II to 10 Ia favor Of the bill, as we
pointed out yesterday. 1t is true that In the
House the bill would not have passed with
out the support it received from the Demo-
Gratis. But the Herald's statement tina I
while the Democrats have voted for 1t in a
body, the bulk of the Republican party were
in opposition to the last, only enough of its
representation going over to the support of
the measure to enable it to pass" is entirely
misleading. From this the reader would in
fer that the Democrats gave the bill its main
support, and that the Republicans were
merely assistants. This is not so. The
Democrats gave the bill only SO votes in the
House. while the Republicans gave it 40

Lord Brassey, the famous English naval
expert. said the other day at the meeting Of
the institute of naval architects in London
that it would hereafter be necessary for the
English admiralty to reckon the United
States among the great naval powers. Lord
Brassey said this after hearing reports of the
work the United States is doing in building
up its navy. The English regard the q knot
cruiser now building for our navy as espec.
tally formidable, since it is faster than any
swift cruiser they have, and could raid their
commerce with impunity. Our three battles
ships authorized by the present Congress,
the Boutelle line Of battle ships, are also re-
garded as capable of meeting any vessels
that Europe could send against them. OF
course our navy will never be SO numerous
as England's; but what vessels we do have
should be of the very best. Already by pur-
suing this policy with few ships we have
greatly increased our Importance as naval
power.

The annual banquet of the Young Mems
Republican Club was pleasant and highly
successful gathering. The club was fortu-
nate in being able to entertain two guests of
such wide national reputation as Congress
men Dingley and Greenhalge. and equally
fortunate in bringing together so many men
representative of the State of Maine. In in.
viting representatives of the colleges in the
State the club departed somewhat from the
usual custom; but the departure is eminently
fitting and proper. The colleges are great
recruiting grounds for the Republican party.
not because they have been differed largely
by Republicans SO much as because they
have been seats of liberal education. 1t is
the graceful thing to recognize this upon
occasions like that of last evening. The
after-dinner speeches were full of entertain
ment and encouragement for Republicans;
and although this is an off-year, when politi-
cal speeches are not usually in order, we
venture the prediction that they will be very
widely read and spjvycd.

The Truth About the Ballot Bill.

The Republicans Of Maine have right to
make decided objections to the misrepresen-
tations of certain Boston papers in regard to
the ballot bill. The Boston Herald saws. sit
is to Democrats. more than Republicans
that the credit for the adoption of the law Is
due, for, while the Democrats have voted for
1t in body. the bulk of the Republican party
were in opposition to the last, only enough
OF its representatives going over to the sup
port of the measure to enable it to pass by a
small majority" There is certain amount
of truth about this statement; but it is in
the main misleading. The agitation for
ballot reform in this State was begun by
Republicans, carried on by publicans
largely, and in the final votet emocratic
