salisbury's Position a Guees.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-There has been
much speculation as to the reasons for the
position of Salisbury in respect to the
Behring sea modus vivendi. His ostensible
reason for refusal of the modus vivendi is
the representation at Alaska last summer
by his government to the effect there was no
necessity for its removal. The real reasons
are believed to be, first, the disposition to
use his present position to full advantage
in getting concessions from the United
States upon other points in the controversy,
such for instance as the claims for dam
ages which remain unsettled; second
to favorably impress Canada with the APP
parent disposition to heed her demand, and
third to avail himself of the present oppor-
tunity to retaliate upon this government
for the alleged infraction of spirit of the
modus yivendi last year, permitting the
North American commercial company to
kill more than 1900 seals permitted
by the terms of that agreement.
1t is believed these reasons will SO far in
huence Lord Salisbury as to prevent re-
newal of the modus viyendi in the same
terms as the last document, but not to de-
termine him to resort to force TO protect
sealers, for whose actions he has declined
to assume responsibility.

Special to the Gazette.
TExARKANA, ARK, March 26-The Peo-
pies party of Miller county, which num-
bers-all told-10o members, met at the
courthouse here to-day and resolved to put
out straight ticket for all county officers
for the next September election. The St.
Louis platform recently adopted was in
dorsed, twenty-six voters signed signed the
roll pledging themselves to the new doc
trine.
The Republicans, of which there are two
factions very bitter in their hatred Of each
other, met at the courthouse at noon in
township convention. The fight over the
organization was very bitter, and ended in
victory for the postofice ring faction. The
other side, however, stayed withjthem and
finally captured a majority of the delegates.
Hot words. including great deal OF pro-
family, played a prominent part in the pro-
ceedings, and a negro leader was Knocked
down by white brother and the chairman
narrowly escaped thrashing at the hands
of leader of the opposition.
The two factions are now wide apart
with no prospect of being able to smooth
over matters before the coming April cleo
ton, and consequently there seems no doubt
Of complete Democratic victory.

bringing with him in irons Frank
White, a Pawnee, and Buffalo Clark,
an Otee Indian. These two Indians have
been preaching new religion among the
Indians ana have caused much trouble.
They tell the savageS that great mess ali
will come in a short tin G, bringing with
him all Indians who have ever died, and
they will then sweep the whites of the
continent.
As a result, the Indians have left the
agencies and are holding dances, and have
become so ugly that all the people on
the reservation are in danger.
The children of the school ara
decked with war paint and feathers,
and the teachers have lost all control of
them, and it is feared open hostilities will
occur within few days. On the Otee and
the Pawnee reservation the Indians tried
to rally their members for fight.
