Hon. Henry E. Hayden has recently
come from Alaska. He was appointed
by President Cleveland secretary of that
distant territory in 1887, and has passed
nearly five years in that most isolated
portion of our national domain. His
position there was rather peculiar one,
and if there be such an official as a
''pooh-bah" in any of our territories it
certainly applied to him-under the
original act passed in designating q
civil government to the territory. The
secretary is also clerk of the United
States district court, ex-officio treas
urer, receiver Of public moneys and re-
corder for nearly tive years and half
of his incumbency. Mr.. Hayden was
also acting governor.
He is thoroughly acquainted with
Alaskan affairs and the needs and de-
sires of it's people, and tells many inter-
esting stories of his daily living in that
mysterious and as yet UNEMPLOYED
region. He maintains that the tales
that are continuously appearing in the
newspapers, purporting to be facts in
regard to Alaska, are most of theAy
roneous and based upon those fabulous
statements made by "old timers" to
visiting tourists and jotted down by the
latter in note books to be given out
promiscuously as absolute truths by
them on their return to civilization.
At this time when the Behring sea
controversy bids fair to assume alarm
IN 80, -
our own country and Great Britain is
called upon to adjust amicably and sat
isfactorily the vexatious question as to
the jurisdiction of the United States in
those waters, Mr.. Haydon's informa-
ton is very valuable and interesting,
because it was during his administra-
ton of affairs that the first seizure of
vessels for illicit sealing in Behring sea
was made by our revenue cutters and
the vessels and their cargoes con-
demned and forfeited to the United
States by the district court, and sold
under it's DEGREES. Since then the same
policy of making seizures in Behring
sea has prevailed, and the proceedings
then had have been strictly followed.
In recent interview Mr.. Hayden
stated that in connection with these
seizures and the court proceedings there
is some very peculiar and unwritten
history.
Alaska was coded to the United
States in 1867, by the treaty Of cession
Russia conveyed to our government
all its sovereignty and dominion over
Alaska and the waters thereof. This

minated in the seizure and condemns
lion of a number of British and Amer
lean vessels, the former hailing from
Victoria, B. c. These vessels were
brought to Sitl1a and libels of informa-
ton were filed against them and their
officers in the United States district
court there. After a spirited litigation
between the United States district at
torney on behalf of our government,
and a prominent queens counsel from
Victoria on behalf of the British own
ers, the vessels were decreed as for
feited to the United States.
In that trial the doctrine was clearly

h0ther RISKY
the offer that's made by the pro-
pretors of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy. Risky for them. For you, if
you have Catarrh, it's a certainty.
You're certain to be cured of it, or
to be paid $500. That's what they
offer, and in good faith they cure
you, or pay you, no matter how bad
your case, or of how long standing.
Butts it so much of a risk ?
They have a medicine that cures
Catarrh, not for a time, but for all
time. They've watched it for years,
curing the most hopeless cases.
They know that in your case there's
every chance of success, almost no
chance of failure.
Wouldn't any one take such a
risk with such a medicine :?
The only question is-are you
willing to make the test, if the
makers are willing to take the
risk p?
If so, the rest is easy. You pay
your druggist fifty cents and the
trial begins.

The public nervousness in Europe as May
day approaches is something unexampled.

quietude are forgotten The war cloud on the
Danube and the Russo-Austrian boundary dis
appears, temporarily. at least, while the cap
itais Of the great powers make preparations
against an internal and insidious enemy The
dynamite bomb and not the field gun is the
weapon that is dreaded. The rise Of latter-day
anarchism, while gradual. is all within the liv-
ing generation. This anarchism differs from
its predecessors both in motives and methods
Orsini s abOrtive explosive. which marked the
beginning Of the later anarchistic era, is more
than three centuries apart in spirit from the

Fourth. Religious fanaticism. distinguishing
both parties, has been supplanted by political
ferocity. wreaking itself on guilty and innocent
alike Modern anarchy is not an advance by

Chinas action toward the United States in
the case Of Mr.. Blair is probably more extern
sive in its effect than was contemplated by
Monaghan diplomats If Mr.. Blair feels any
embarrassment over his ineligibility, from Che
Chinese standpoint. to be a representative Of
the United States in celestial chimes, he
can at least comfort himself with the reflection
that he has a great deal OF company. The re-
cent vote in the House in favor of the exclusion
bill, includes a large number Of men who might
be available fer the post. Perhaps it did
not occur to the 179 members
who voted for the bill that they were rendering
themselves unfit in the eyes of the Chinese to
come to their country as representatives of the
United States government China excluded
our minister on unreasonable grounds, involv-
ing technical affront to the republic, before

The iurv in the Schneider case, who have
heard all the evidence who have seen the wit
nesses and weighed their testimony in the light

durance of cross-examination. who have con-
sidered the most significant evidence on both
hides as grouped and explained by able counsel,

they have formed concerning the facts
In accordance with the law of the case,

pronounced the accused guilty as in
dicted. Public sentiment without the
full opportunities and advantages for arriving
ct the truth which the jury enjoyed has during
the trial reached similar verdict. The de-
cision of the public is in this case confirmed
by the finding of the jury, and the verdict Is
received with very general satisfaction This
Sentiment is entirely distinct from any VIM
dictive feeling toward the prisoner. and
springs from the assurance, given by the
trial, that justice is secure in this COM
munity. In the past some local Iuries
have failed to convict in notable cases
where convictions were possible and expected

when his moral guilt is matter OF small doubt
In the public mind In spite OF all his advant-
ages, which in the opinion of the public would
have secured his acquittal if there had been
any ground for serious doubt OF his guilt, the
accused in the present case is promptly con-
yicted, and the community accepts the action
Is an assurance Ito some extent needed) that
The wheels of justice in the District
move unclogged- To al appearances every
man connec ted with this trial has done his full
duty. The work OF the jury was performed
promptly, but without any display of unaigni-
fed haste. Judge Bradley was clear and forci-
bic in his rulings and in his charge. The dis
trict attorney discharged the duties OF an Office
which involves much that is disagreeable with
fidelity and marked ability. and the de-
tense skilfuIiy conducted as to
leave no chance for even a technical
injustice to the prisoner. Accepting the result
Of the trial as the outcome of the consideration
Of the testimony by IMPARTIAL jury, the con-
viction is distinctly in the interest Of law, Of
order. Of the family, of society at large. 1t
shows that human life is OF value in this COM
munity, all superficial opinions based upon the
results of some former trials to the contrary
notwithstanding. The maintenance of the
laws in the District is of prime importance.
Here At this capital OF the chief republic of
modern times, if any where, should justice
rule. II human life be sacred any where it

The fact that positive instructions for Cleve-
land are not always given in Cleveland states is
availsd Of by his opponents TO set up claim
to part Of the delegations in such states for
other candidates. This is the case in Massa-

sons. such as Gray and Pattlson, may pull
away from the e1-President some of the more
important states and that thus he may fail in
