A Satisfactory Conclusion.

WASHINGTON. March 28.-It is said
on good authority that the president and
his cabinet are well pleased with the con
c~iliatory tone of Lord Salisbury's note of
the 2Sth inst. especially as 1t is held to
concede the point that has been the prin
cipal cause of contention. viz: a renewal
of the modus vivendi of last year for the
protection of the seal fisheries.
This alleged concession is believed to be
implied in his proposition to agree to a
modus in case the treaty of arbitration is
ratified under the condition that each
government shall guarantee the other for
damages incurred through the suspension
of operations. One official. who has been
consulted by the president in regard to
the negotiations, said he was especially
pleased with Lord S%alisbury's admission
that Great Britain would hold itself liable
for damage resulting to the United States
because the modus vivendi in the event
that the verdict of the arbitrators is ad-
verse to the continent. 1t is said that
taking all together. Lord Salisbury's note
Is satisfactory. as indicating a good pros
pect for an amicable settlement of the
questions at issue. Further correspond
ence will be necessary to settle the method
of determining the character of damage
claims.

The Harvest Time of the Sundower.
The harvest time of the sunfower can
scarcely be fixed, as it depends not only
upon the climate, but also upon the ma
ture of the soil and the exposure of the
plantation. In the south and southwest
of European Russia it ripens about the
middle of September, further north at
the end of September or beginning of
October. On sandy soil it ripens about
the middle of August, on black earth
lands at the end of August and on low
er grounds still later. From this it may
be seen that the sunflower, wherever it
grows, ripens later than any other corn
plant, a very important fact in agricul-
ture, as its harvesting does not interfere
with the harvesting of other crops.
When the sunlower is overripe its yell
low flowers wither, the stalk and the
seed cup from the top become gray, all
the leaves of the flower covering the
seeds fall off and the seeds get hard,
shoot out from the seed cup and crack
open. AT this time the plant should be
well guarded from the birds or the over
ripe seeds will soon be destroyed by
them.-Cor. st. Louis e-Democrat.

Lord SaIisbury's Acquiesces in
HarrisOn's Demands.
The Modus Vivendi Will Rule
Boring Sea Fisheries.
Salisbury's Last Note Trans
mitted to the Senate.
What the Senate Thinks of
the Situation Now.

WASHINGTON. March 2S.-Lord Sails
bury's last communication to the presi-
dent stating the grounds upon which he
would consent to renew the modus vi
vendi was laid before the senate this at
ternoon. In transmitting the paper to
the senate the president added thereto a
formal letter stating Salisbury's reply was
very satisfactory and he was preparing a
suitable response. The character OF this
response Is indicated briefly in the presi-
dents letter as being a substantial accep.
lance of Lord Salisbury's tender with a
few notifications that will doubtless be
arranged without difficulty.
There can be no question that reception
OF the communication has largely removed
any doubt of favorable action of the SEN
ate upon the treaty and. in fact. When
adjournment was had it was the general
belief the treaty would be ratified tomor-
row. Much of the debate today was de-
voted to the question of damages that
might be awarded by arbitration for or
against this country.
Senator George took a prominent part
in discussing this point and, fortified BY a
number of authorities, proceeded to ad-
dress the senate at length. The newest
feature in his speech was a eulogistIc ref
erence to President Harrison 8 attitude in
the negotiations.
No specific prediction as to the amount
of damages was attempted. but senators
familiar with the subject cited
figures to show that poachers secured 65,-
900 seal skins last year. which meant the
destruction OF over 200 900 seals mas
much as only a small portion of those
killed at sea are recovered, but it was be-
lieved that not more than 5000 skins
we're taken in Boring sea proper. and tax
ing the government valuation of $40 per
skin, the damage we could riehtfully
claim for last years operations of poachers
would not have been considerable.

The Queen May Have No Gifts

The d~eprivations of the queens life are
pathetically illustrated by an incident
which occurred not long ago. An Amer
lean lady sent her majesty an immense
collection of the flowers of this country,
pressed and mounted. The queen was
delighted with the collection and kept it
for three months, turning over the leaves
frequently with great delight. At the
end of that time, which was as long as
she was allowed by court etiquette to
keep it, she had it sent back with a let
ter saying that, being queen of England,
she was not allowed to have any gifts,
and that she parted from it with deep
regret.-Helen Watterson in Philadel-
phia Inquirer.

silver Men Feel Sore

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The silver
men have understood that . special order
bringing In the cloture rule would be
reported to the house tomorrow and have
teieRrsphed to all their men to be in the
house tomorrow. This morning Speaker
Crisp informed them that no special order
would be brought in unless a majority of
the democratic members of the house
signed . petition asking that the cloture
rule be brought in.
Speaker Crisp was asked BY an asso-
ciated press reporter this morning if the
report we're true that the order would not
be brought in unless the majority of the
democrats signed a petition. He replied:
That is my inclination
Then the silver bill will never be
brought to q vote?" aueried the reporter.
II don't know that that follows" re-
pliod the speaker. They had a two
thirds majority of the democrats and may
have . majority to sign the petition"
Mr.. Bland, Mr.. Pierce and other silver
men were seen. Mr.. Bland was very
force to q vote the measures he has worked
for 30 long. He admitted that the re-
port that the silver bill had met with an
other set back and one which practically
meant its death without a final vote, was
well founded. but said that the matter
was not absolutely settled.
Mr.. Pierce was a little more confident,
but he and Mr.. Bland said they would
have nothing to do with the circulation of
any more petitions. One of the other
silver men, however, attempted to get
signers to g petition OF the nature, sug
gssted by the speaker, but met with poor
success, for as already stated. thirty five
of the men who have heretofore voted
for the silver bill refused to sign it.
Among the members we're Mr.. Comp
ton Of Maryland, who not only declined
to sign the petition, but rave notice that
If any cloture resolution is brought in he
will vote against it. The anti silver men
are exultant over the changes in the
situation but the pronounced silver advo-
Gates are exceedingly irritated and angry
and do not hesitate to Indignantly protest
against the treatment they have received.
The silver men were 30 mnch discour-
aged at the declaration of the intention
of the thirty-fve silver men not to sign
any petition that the effort to procure
signatures to such a paper was abandoned
aud no sctual petition is now in clrcu-
lation.
