Father Ducey tried TO shield himself by
drawing the archbishop in the matter.
All that the archbishop had to do with
the marriage was to issue the diSpen-
sation. Father Ducey came to the arch
bishops house with young MIR. Blaine
and Miss Nevins and explained the sit
uation. The archbishop was reluctant
to grant dispensation. He talked to
the young couple for more than an hour,
but he could not dissuade them
man said as he lacked but a few
weeks of being twenty-one, there could
be no objection on the score OF age. The
archbishop told young Mr.. Blaine that
OH account of the conspicuous position
of his father he should be careful not to
do anything that might interfere with
his fathers plans.
the young imam was persistent, ana
on Father Ducey'5 recommendation the
diSpenSatiOn was granted. 1t should be
understood that the archbishOp'S post
was simply to grant permission to MI;
Blaine and Miss NevinS to be married
by a Catholic priest. 1t was
the duty of the priest who per-
formed the ceremony to ascertain
if there were any obstacles to the mar
riage. When young Mr.. Blaine's father
wrote to Father Ducey the letter pub
lished today, he sent copy of it to the
archbishop. The archbishop requested
Father Ducey to explain to Mr.. Blaine
at once. Father Ducey said that
he would explain when he
thought proper, and the archblsh-
op told Father Ducey that as matter of
courtesy he should reply to Mr.. Blalne'S
letter. After the marriage Mrs. Sher-
man. the wife of Gen. Sherman, called
upon the archbishop to speak about the
marriage. The archbishop explained
his position, and told her how
he had acted in the matter.
Mrs. Sherman informed Mr.. Blaine
what the archbishop said. She called
on the archbishop again and told him
that Mr.. Blaine expressed himself as
perfectly satisfied with the archbshop's
action. Mrs. Sherman said also that
Mr.. Blaine highly appreciated the coul-
teSy OF the archbishop.

UNCLE SAM WINS.
Sayward Case Decided, Justice
Field Dissenting.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-The opinion
of the United States supreme court in
the case of ex-parte Thomas I'll. Cooper,
owner of the Canadian schooner Say
ward, by which the governments of Great
Britain and the Dominion of Canada
sought to obtain from the highest tribu-
nal in the United States determine
ton of the question of the right of the
United States to exercise exclusive juris-
diction over the seal fisheries in Behring
sea was today rendered by the United
States supreme court.
The court first took up the question
of the right of the supreme court to
issue a writ of prohibition against the
Alaska court. 1t says that although
the Alaska court was not mentioned in
the act giving the United States
supreme court power to issue writs of
prohibition to review decisions of the
district courts, yet, nevertheless, where
the Alaska court is acting as a district
court of the United States and in an
admiralty proceeding, IL comes within
the purview Of the act giving the
supreme court power of review by way
of writ of prohibition.
1t then taxes UP the next question and
says that the libel on its face states that
the court found that the sealing had
taken place within the limits of Alaska

Here Father Ducey partly closed the
front door of his house to intimate that
the interview was at an end. Then he
opened it again ana said: sit would
have been impossible for me to marry
Young Mr.. Blaine without the arch
bishops sanction. He knew all the cir
cumstances and granted the necessary
approval Why does not Mr.. Blaine re-
monstrate with him"'
Here the conversation closed again
for a moment, but the father returned
to the charge, and with energy asked
this: IF Mr.. Blaine says [ transgressed

error. did not; simply did what had
been approved of by my higher author
ity in the church."
But" l said, ''Mr. Blaine publishes
letter which he says he wrote to you

against your share in the affair.""
''He does, does hep" said Father Du-
cey. "Well, now. know all about that
letter, and pretty poor letter it is. My
action and the authority l had for it are
we'll known; they cannot be affected by

THE IONA FIGHT.
Interest in the Prohibition Cues
ton Becoming Intense


Dies NOME S. TO-, Feb. 29.-Interest
in the situation in the legislature on the
prohibition question is becoming in
tense in Iowa. The belief that the law
will be repealed is growing every day.
No one can give reason for this change
of sentiment as to what it is believed
the legislature will do, but that it has
reached all sections of the state and all
classes of people there is no question.
1t is thought that the principal fight on
the question will be made III the house.
In the house today two reports from
committees were made on bill to au-
thoriZe the manufacture and sale of
liquor for manufacturing purposes.
The Republicans on the committee rec
commended that it be indefinitely post
poned. the Democrats that it be passed.
In the senate this morning bill was
passed apprOpriating $50 annually on
the application of forty farmers in any
county for the purpose of defraying the
expenses of county farmers institutes.
A bill to protect labor unions in the use
of labels and providing for the conhS,;
cation of goods bearing counterfeit la
bells was ordered to engroSSment.
The senate joint resolution was passed,
asking congress to pass law requiring
the election of United States senators
by direct vote OF the people.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 29.-The negotia-
tions between the United States and
Great Britain looking to the submission
TO arbitration of the long-pending con-
troverSy between the two countries in
regard to the Behring sea seal fisheries

Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British min
lister, met Secretary Blaine by appoint
ment at the state department today and
signed the treaty of arbitration on be-
half of Great Britain. He said he had
been fully authorized by Lord Salisbury
to take this action. Mr.. Blaine signed
the document Oh behalf of this govern
ment, and the matter was consummated,
SO far as the diplomatic part of the bust
ness is concerned. The treaty is still
subject, however, to the action of the
British parliament and the United
States senate. The exact terms of
treaty cannot now be stated, but it is
known that the board of arbitration
will consist of seven persuasive rep
resenting the United States, two repre-
senting Great Britain, one of whom is
to be Canadian. and one each repre-
senting the neutral governments of
France, Sweden and Italy.

ROAD TO DISGORCE.
The Notorious Railroad Bonds
Of PlainSville and Elgin
Townships.
Their Illegality Upheld by the
United States Supreme
Court.
Winona & st. Peter Railroad
the Loser by
100000.
End OF a PpOtracted and
Somewhat Bitter Legal
Fight.

The supreme court of the United
States yesterday rendered a decision
which will be of interest to the towns
of Plainview and Elgin, MINI. The
decision was in the case of these towns
against the Wiuona u St Peter Railroad
company, in which the supreme court
dismissed the writs of error for want OF
jurisdiction. This, in effect, atfirms the
Judgment of the Supreme court of Min
nesoIa, and ends a long and vexatlouS
litigation. By this decision the towns
will recover of the Winona & st. Peter
Railroad company 100000. The suits
which resulted in this decision were
brought by Davis, Kellogg IL Severance,
of st. Paul, as attorneys for the towns,
to recover the amount of 100000 IN
bonds issued by the towns of Plainview
and Elgin in 1878 to the railroad named,
together with interest thereon. The
suits were brought in the district court
of WabaSha county. This court
held that the bonds had not
been constitutiOnally issued, and
the supreme court of Minnesota
affirmed this decision upon appeal taken
by the railroad company. The bonds
were issued upon petition of a number
of taxpayers, but before they were is
sued George w. Harrington applied for
an injunction to restrain the railroad
from selling the bonds, alleging that as
they had not been issued upon vote
taken by the taxpayers, but only upon
petition of part of the taxpay-
ers, the law authorizing them
was unconstitutional. Pending this
application for Injunction the railroad
company sold and disposed of the bonds
to innocent purchasers, and these suits
were brought to recover the amount of
the bonds with interest. The judg-
ment of the district court of Wabasha
county was twice affirmed by the SUI
preme court of Minnesota. when the
railroad company sued out writ OF
error to the supreme court of the United
States. and that court holds thai no
federal questions were involved, and
that it had no Jurisdiction.

LONDON, Feb. 29.-The first volume

is of interest chiefly to students of mill

letters relating to the Danish war Of

shown as early as 1868, when writing to
Won Room of the necessity of plan of
concentration, so the army would be
ready to meet the French.
Amongst Won MOltke's characteristic
phrases occur the following in letter
to Gen. Blumenthal: For goodness
sake don't make extensive reports on
events about to happen;" and again,
"Make history; leave the writing of it
to others. Take AlSen and 5000 pairs

HIGH LAW ON TARIFFS.
McKinIey's Bill Held to Be Con-

WASHINGTON; Feb. 29.-The three

each versus The United States and Joel
p. Erhardt, Collector of the Port of New
York; and Marshall Field & Co. versus
Clark, Collector of the Port of Chicago.
The grounds on which it was maintained
that the tariff was unconstitutional we're
that the tobacco rebate section of the
bill had been omitted on its enrolment,
..fter passage by congress. and therefore
the bill signed by the president was not
the bill passed by the legislative depart
ment of the government; that the rec
Iprocity feature was a transmission to
the executive Of the laW-making power,
and therefore void, vitiating the whole
act; and lastly, that the act was void be-
