BxRING SEA MODUs vIvENpL
The Document Laid Before the Senate
in SeCrar


The Document Laid Before the Senate
in Secret.
| WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The modus
vivendi for the protection Of the Boring sea
seal fisheries during the tendency of arbi-
tratIon, which has been the subject OF
negotiations between Secretary Blaine and
the British minister, was delivered
to the Senate about
o'clock this afternoon. For some
reason not now apparent 1t was under the
injunction of secrecy, and therefore was
not laid before the Senate in open session.
Mr.. Sherman, however, was notified by the
| President Of the nature of the communica-
ton, and as soon as he could do so he moved
that the Senate 60 into executive session
| Accordingly the people were cleared out Of
the galleries, the doors were closed, and
then the seals were broken aud the modus
| was read TO the Senate.
sALIsBURY's SHARP SCHEME.
1t appeared from the reading of the docu-
ment that Secretary Blaine and the British
minister have been spending the time since
March % last. when the British government
consented to renew the modus, In trying to
phrase conditions relative to damages so as
to secure advantages for their respective
governments. Indeed, it appears that all
Of hesitation and reluctance exhibited by
was assumed with the purpose OF obliging
this government to accept terms for the ad-
justment of damages that would insure
Great Britain against heavy loss in the
event of decision adverse to her by the
arbitrators, and on the other hand would
promise the assessment OF such a sum of
money against the United States as would
80 far toward healing the soreness still felt
by British diplomats at the formidable
Judgment rendered against them by the
Geneva arbitration.
BLAINE's AIN.
Secretary Blaine has been endeavoring TO
bring statement Of the liabilities of the
two parties back to the basis laid down in
Assistant Secretary Wharton's note Of July
% last, while the British government has
sought to escape the direct responsibility
for the unwarrantable killing OF seals and
for anything more than the difference be-
tween the z 800 skins which the lessees Of
the seal islands took and the 10, 900
skins they might have taken had the
modus of last year not been enforced. The
agreement just reached 10 said to be a fair
mean between the two extreme PROPOSE
tions. 1t appears that it will, unlike the
first modus require the approval of the
Senate, inasmuch as the last document pro-
poses permanent settlement OF damages
and provides for the means of adjusting
claims.
DRIFT OF THE DEBATE.
The discussion to-day was generally in the
same line that has characterized the pre-
ceding debates. and some senators called
attention to what they regarded as an imper-
lection in the document. 1t was finally re-
ferred to the committee on foreign reIa-
tions.
The case of the late executive clerk,
Young, came up again for few minutes in
connection with letter written by Henry
Watterson editor OF the Louisville Courier
Journal, making a strong plea for Mr..
Young, but no action was taken.

Model Locomotive Engines.

| The Baltimore ahd Ohio Railroad has
just placed in service on its Chicago
Division three new passenger engines,
built at the Baldwin Locomotive Works,
after new designs furnished by the Genl
Superintendent of Motive Power of the
B. & o. Company. The engines weigh
$4,000 pounds, have driving wheels 6
feet 6 inches in diameter, cylinders 10
by "a inches, and are without doubt the
finest passenger locomotives running
into the city of Chicago to-day. Com
panions of these new engines have de-
veloped wonderful power and speed in
hauling the famous Royal Blue Line
trains, which run between New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washing
ton, over the Philadelphia Division of
the b. & o. Railroad. The b. & o. has
added over forty new, high class engines
to its motive power equipment within
the last sixty days, and others are under
construction. While constantly adding
engines of pproyed design and highest
grade to its motive power, and passenger
coaches of Pullman standard to its roll
ing stock, the b. & o. is also expending
large amounts for additional second and
third tracks and sidings, and improved
facilities at terminal points. BY the
time the Worlds Fair is opened for the
reception of visitors the B. & o. will be
well equipped to handle, expeditiously.

jaw Gould's Book.

OCCASIONALLY some person knocks al
the door of Jay Gould's Office in the
Western Union building with copy OF
''The History of Delaware County, New
York, by Jay Gould" to sell. An i'm
preston exists in the minds of many
people that Mr. Gould is desirous of
suppressing this publication as COM
pletely as possible, and that he will pay
almost any price to get possession of the
few stray copies that are left. Resi-
dents of Delaware county are authority
for the statement that several years ago
an agent of Mr. Gould's secured that
county for these books and bought near
ly all of them at fancy prices. When
ever copy of this particular history of
Delaware county is displayed in that
county at the present day the older resi-
dents will advise the owner, "Jist you
take thet down ter New York, an Jay
Gouldll give yer thirty or forty dollars
fer it." 1t is certain that nobody in Mr..
Goulds Office ever heard of his paying
any such price for one Of those books.
And nobody is able to explain why Mr..
Gould should want to suppress the pub
lication, unless it is that he thinks there
is too much sentiment in it for man of
his present reputation. - New York

soudanese Troops in Battle.

Twas told delightful story of one re-
cent action in which the Soudanese
troops took prominent part. The en-
amy was under cover not far off, but
the firing line of blacks were blazing
away at him as fast as they could open
and close their rifles. In vain their Of
6cers tried to stop them. The waste of
ammunition threatened to become ex-
tremely serious, and their commanding
officer, a Scotchman who had seen many
fights with them, losing his temper, rode
up and down behind the line cursing
them with every abusive epithet in a
fairly adequate vocabulary of Arabic In
yective, but entirely without effect. At
last one of them happened to turn and
discovered the beloved bey in evidently
a very excited state of mind. He at
once rose, ran back to him, and patting
him reassuringly on the boot he said:
Don't be frightened, bey. It's all
right We're here. Well take care of
your
The Scotch bey, however, was equal
to the occasion. He rode out through
the line, and walked his horse up and
down in front of the rifles. Now" he
said, IF you must fire, fire at me-!
After this it is not surprising to read in
dispatches that this officer has twice re-
Gently had his horse shot under him.

A Trick of Cross Examination.

WILL" said Erskine slowly, having risen
to cross examine, ''swear-that one OF
the sleeves swas-longer-than the other?''
Witness-I do swear it.
Erskine Quickly, and with fash of
indignation -Then. sir, 1 am to under
stand that you positively deny that one
of the sleeves was shorter than the other?
Startled into a self contradiction by
the suddenness and impetuosity of this
thrust, the witness said, II do deny it."
Erskine (raising his voice as the tu-
multuous laughter died away)-Thank
you, sir; don't want to trouble you
with another question.-Sa Francisco

Theatrical Superstition,

Among country companies supersti-
tions are more varied and extended than
among metropolitan ones, and are of
course more blindly and religiously ad-
hered to. If, on entering town where
the next ''stand" is to be made, grave
yard is visible on the right side of the
railway track, the country managers
heart swells with bright anticipations.
But if, on the contrary, the tombstones
loom up on the left of the road, he be-
comes depressed, as he takes the factas a
warning that his ''business" will be small
during his engagement in that place.
Such manager will be apt to give some
man or boy free pass to the theater on
first night. as he would fear run of
i'll luck in case woman should chance
to enter the house before a member of
the opposite sex had found his way with
in.-Chicago Post.

IT is not in the words that others say
to us, but in those other words which
these make us say to ourselves, that we
find our gravest lessons and our sharpest
rebukes. The hint another gives us
finds whole trains of thoughts ready to
be shaped in inwardly articulated words,
and only waited the touch of a burning

FAiRYlAND.

Under the branches they went together,
The blossoming branches that break the sky,
All in the morn of the young, sweet weather,
When softly the green on the hills doth lie;
And Dorothy thought it was over the meadow.
And Cicely said it was close by the spring
But Polly was sure that the woodlands shadow
Sheltered that magical fairy ring.
So over the meadow they swiftly hied them
oh. but the bird in the blue sang sweet!
They saw not the blush of the brier beside
them.
The violets smiling beneath their feet
Long by the spring they fingered and listened: :,
Twas diadem set in mossy rim.
And oh, the beauty that clustered and glis-
tened
In frail ferns falling about its brinI
They sought in the wood for a wonder reveal
ing,
And saw not the leaves in a net o'erhead
Oh. but the song through the pinetops steal
ing,
And oh, that hush down the dim ways shedl
Then, when the sun leaned lower to find them,
Homeward they wandered a sorrowful way,
And knew not the land they were leaving be-
hind them.
The rare new land of a young June day!
But Dorothy thinks it is over the meadow.
And Gicely says it is close by the spring;
While Polly is sure that the woodlands
shadow
Shelters the magical fairy ringl

The Unreasoning Crowd.

Speaking of the queer things to be seen
on the streets, it is really astonishing
how instinctively one person initiates an
other. A man with passion for psy-
chical research has been proving this by
some experiments which are, to say the
least of it, original. Going along about
dusk the other night in advance of a
small party of folk, he suddenly turned
out into the muddy street, as if avoiding
something in front. Unquestioningly
every person behind did the same thing
in spite of the mire.
1t isn't likely that they felt the full
humorous force of the incident in quite
the way he did, however, when they saw
him face about and walk calmly back in
the beaten path. The sheep went to all
the trouble of jumping over bar of
dust, to be sure, but it would really
seem worth while if human beings could
think little more Independently and
for themselves. The truth of it is, it is
just this blind unreasoning herding to-
gether that leads to half the accidents
and panics which are cropping up on all
sides.-Boston Transcript.

Antidotes for Snake Poison,

The effect of snake bite depends partly
on the condition of the snake and partly
ON that of the person bitten and the part
attacked. No effectual antidote has yet
been discovered. Ammonia and per
manganate of potassium will not suffice,
although a solution of the latter will
take away the poisonous property of the
snakes venom if it be mixed Herewith.
Immediate amputation of bitten toe
or finger is the best course, as the delay
of few seconds may suffice to convey
the poison into the patients circulation.
If from the nature Of the part bitten
amputation cannot be performed, a very
tight igature applied after cauterization
and sucking the part is the best course,
and the administration of stimulants is
generally recommended. Quarterly Re

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Worry kills more people than the chol
era.
Wherever there is ignorance there is
self-conceit.
1t isn't always the best man who gets
the biggest gravestone.
Life is not worth living unless you
live for somebody else.
If happiness is your object in this life,
don't try to get rich.
The worst use that can be made OF
success is to boast of it.
1t is hundred times easier to inflict
pain than to create pleasure.
Those who wrong Others, generally
slander them to cover their own infamy.
The greatest gluttons are those who
feed upon slander; they never get enough.
Every man loves justice at another
mans house; nobody cares for it at his
own.
1t is always more discreet to be awk-
wardly silent than ridiculously loqua-
cious.
When the tongue cannot be employed
to some purpose, it had better be allow
ed to rest.
Comparing your sins with those of
other people won't make your SHINING
any safer.
Do good to those who do you evil, and
by this means you will gain the victory
over them.
The devil don't want any stronger hold
on man than to get him to put off do
ing what he knows to be right.
If man would take as much interest
in his work as he does in his sport, there
would be no need of abolishing poverty.
