just now the firm OF Arkell a Harrison
Is being sued for $4,000 by the ALASKA
Commercial Company FOR money ed

artist, sent to Alaska by Frank Leslles
Weekly. 1t may be that there is a rea-
sonable dispute as to who should pay the

Harrison, who made the arrange

understood so that there would be no
dispute who should pay the artists bill.
Since the thrifty young man Is getting

FATHER oHRwALDER, y priest for
merly connected with the Austrian Sou
dan Mission, has escaped aud fed TO
Cairo. His arrival there, besides other
stories Of more or less Eastern flavor.
was celebrated by that Of the death Of
the Mahdi, whish has been a mystery
heretofore and may not be sc.
counted for now except to the
minds of those who are credulous.
Father Ohrwalder's story Is shat the
Mahdi was poisoned. He relates that the
Mahdi being tired Of warfare retired to
Omdurman to enjsY life Of licentious-
ness Among the prisoners who had
fallen into the hands Of the Mshdi was
the daughter Of wealthy citizen Of
Khartouia. This citizen had refused TO
accept Rthe Mahdi as successor Of
Mohammed and had opposed his schemes
Consequently when Khartoum was cap
tnred by tine Mahdlsts his prop erty was
confscstad, all his children, except this
daughter were butchored and his wives
we're sold into slavery. The fanAtical
Arabs were struck with the beauty Of
the girl whose life they spared They
deemed she would make worthy addi-
zion TO the harem Of their leader, and she
was accordingly carried to the Mahdi ana
presented to him. The girl not csntens
to lead a life Of that kind for the pleas
ure OF the man who had destroyed
her family brooded over her wrongs and
determined upon revenge and freedom
She had, like all her people. consider

In case under the Interstate Com
merce law Charles Counselman, agent.
was called TO the witness stand In Illinois
and asked whether he received special
freight rates on certain roads--in other
words. whether he had been party to
violating the Interstate Commerce law.
He refused to answer on the ground
that his testimony might tend to Grim
mate him. Thereupon Judge Gresham
adjudged him guilty Of contempt. An
appeal was taken to the United States
Supreme Court That tribunal decides
that Counselman was not bound to an
swer and hence could not
be punished for refusing.
This decision is based on an amend
ment to the Federal constitution declar-
ing that no person shall be compelled
IN any criminal case to be a witness
against himself The contention was
made that that exemption should apply
only Ia the prosecution Of criminal case
against the witness himself Tbs
Supreme Court gave It broader scope
holding that it applied to every criminal
case whether the witness is a defendant
or not.

THE threat that Senator Quay would
become reformer and turn against
President Harrison and General Wana
maker in Philadelphia has been happily
averted. Quays forces won in the
primaries and thus the calamity is de.
ferred at least. President Harrison aud
two members Of his Cabinet seemed
determined to remove officials and make
changes sufficient in the Federal Office
holders Of Philadelphia TO insure q
Harrison delegation to the Minneapolis
convention. This determination hurt
Senator Quay's feeling in two spots.
First, he did not like TO lose control
where he has held absolute sway hereto

was panied to see good men like Harri

TO the Oldest son OF the last

that Turkey will object to this political
revolution because the Sultan has already
given prompt confirmation to the title Of
Prince Abbas But the French are object
