THE MoDUs vNENDI MATTER.
What British Columbian Member of
Parliament SAYS.

Parliament Says.
OTTAWA, Ont, March 16-Thomas Earle.
member of parliament for Victoria. Brit
ish Columbia, speaking to The Ottawa
Free Press of the attitude of the United
States government because of Lord Sails
bury's refusal to renew the modtis yiyendi
of last year, says that the British govern
ment cannot consistently assist in enforc-
ing regulations prescribed by the United
States congress for the protection of seals
in the Behring sea, while at the same time
time denying the right of congress to make
any such regulations
A New View of the Case
at seems to me-" said Mr.. Earle, shat
the question of jurisdiction or ownership
over the seal fisheries of Behrine sea
should be determined before any action is
taken toward protecting the seal. If the
Americans have no jurisdiction over those
waters then any laws made on the sub
ject of seal protection by the congress are
null and void and incapable of enforce
ment. Until the court of arbitration has
declared that the United States has exclu-
sive jurisdiction over the Behring sea fish
cries it would be absurd for Great Britain
to agree to the enforcement of regulations
made by the American congress for the
protection of such fisheries. The people
of the United States must see that the
position of their government upon that
point is untenabie" p"

Morrill, VIII Die in Harness.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Although gen.
orally supposed to be at the point of death,
Senator Morrill, has no idea of quitting at

he must see Senator Frye. Impossible"
replied the physicians. Gentlemen" said
the aged senator, while live shall be
master in my own house. / shall have
Senator Frye sent for and when he comes

THE RAUM INVESTIGATION.
Cooper Takes Up the Inquiry and Gets
Few Replies.

Few Replies.
WASHINGTON, March l6-Commissioner
Rapmy Of the pension bureau, appeared
before the special pension committee of
the house yesterday He asked that he
be permitted to file a statement he had
prepared in relation to the investigation.
The chair decided to proceed with the ex-
animation of the commissioner, and allow
the statement to be presented afterward.
Brosius said if Raum had the right to
make the statement now is the time.
Cooper then took up the inquiry and asked
Raum If he had any relatives in the pen
sion bureau. Raum said he had not; he
had recommended his daughter, widow,
for appointment as confidential clerk, but
she had not yet been appointed.
Those Business Enterprises.
In answer to a question Raum said he
WAS president of the American Mining
company, and Cooper said he wanted to
show that Raum had used his official pO-
eition to further the interests of the CON-
pany by taking into partnership attorneys
having large business before the bureau.
Judge Payson said the statements of that
Kind were false and Raum refused to say
whether Colonel Dudley, Bradley Tan
asked to take stock while practicing before
the bureau. stating that Cooper could ask
the gentlemen themselves, but that he
would not air his private affairs for
Cooper's pleasure.
Cooper Keeps Up His Tactics.
Cooper then asked Raum whether a
pension attorney had loaneI him money,
, and if he had not promised to pyomo tie
pension clerk in consideration of n loan.
Payson declared the question outrageous,
and Raum said the implication was false.
I He had borrowed 500 from Attorney
Lockwood for three days and paid it when
, due. He denied that he had given Indiana
soldiers the preference in pension matters
during the campaign of 1888, and adj
mitted that he had put Dunbar, Cooper's
opponent for congress that year, on an
equal footing with Cooper, but said it was
a courtesy shown to all prominent men.
This ended the days work.

BELIEVES IN STRICT CONSTRUCTION,
But Notes a Case Where the Constitution
Was Lacking.

But Notes Case Where the Constitution
Was Lacking.
Continuing Hill urged a close adherence
and strict construction of the constitution
of the United States, which, he said, was
"the standing marvel in the history OF
civilized men. The powers which it grants
are few and specified, and it concentrates
and ceutralizes those few. 1t is not any
legalized excursi ons by congress outside
the constitution which explains why we
still live and move and have our being be-
meath its Rgis; it is the declaration of state
rights; it is the reservation and surrender
of the residue to the states, respectively
for the people, by which we have truly
lived and still bear our life.
Tho Problem OF the Negro.
at is individual freedom, not Republican
force bill nor congressional leading strings,
that will enable you, the strong and high
ly civilized race, to guide forward your
less gifted fellow-citizens from the plane
of equality before the law to the higher
level of thrift, economy, good husbandry,
social order, self-imposed, and household
virtue, and thus transform the present
difficulties and unshared burdens of the
south into the solid foundation of still more
prospectus societies and still more powerful
states. 1t must be admitted that FOR a
few brief years our constitution did not
perfectly avail to insure domestic tran
guilty. That was in the last generation,
and broken hearts must be healed by time
or death, and one or two more generations
must pass away"
Been Long in the Wilderness.
After paying the south compliment for
its industrial and commercial achieve
ments since the war the senator said:
years has the Democratic party possesse d.
nor now does it possess, the power to repeal
or amend the laws passed by the Republi-
cans in that period, the fount and origin
Of every present disturbance to the general
peace and prosperity. A little while the
Democratic party had the senate, q little
while the executive; for longer periods
the house of representatives,, but not for q
moment during thirty years has it had all
three, so that all these evil-producing laws
| have been absolutely beyond our reach
and went on operating and go on opcrat-
| Ing now just as If the overwhelming Dem
| pcratic majority in the house Of represen-
| tatives were a Republican majority"
| Other Subjects Treated.
The senator arraigned the Republican
party for the ''billion" congress; the re-
| peal Of the sugar tariff, and generally and
specifically on the Mckinley bill. which
be said gave millions to the rich but did
not help the poor one cent, and should be
tswiped off" the statute books; for the
Sherman silver bill 1into which every Re
publican monetary heresy is crowded" /" In

FACTS ABOUT INDIA.
Rev. John Newcomb Gives an Interesting
Lc'ufe-llis Pc senaI His CRY.

Rev. John Newcomb O returned mission
airy from India, delivered lecture at the
First Baptist Church on Mission Work
Among the Telugus" people in the Ma
dras presidency, India, last evening. The
lecture was exceedingly interesting, being
illustrated by seventy stereopticon views
Mr.. Newcomb's personal history VIII be OF
interest to Indianapolis people, as for three
years he WAS O resident of this city and in
1881 was baptized at the First Baptist
Church. by DIR. Henry Mabie. he being at
that time secretary at the Central Hospital
for the Insane under DR.. Rogers.
When quite young boy Mr. Newcomb
followed the boys in blue to the front. He
was too young to enlist and after the war
closed went with a soldier acquaintance
to Canada. where after time be was taken
into drum corps. The regiment returned
1t. and was finally sent TO India. He was
there assigned to the commissary depart
ment where he served fourteen years In
the British army, after which he came to
the United States.
Ei0htyears ago he went from Des Moines,
Ia, to India as missionary, locating at
Cumbum. among the Telugus. Here he has
done great work, second only TO that of
Dr. Clough In the lecture accompanying
the views Mr.. NewcOmb dealt largely upon
his experience with these peculiar people.
The Telugus are not strong physically as
are Americans yet are bright and intelli-
gent They IRE not very dark IN color. and
their features are Caucasian. The Baptists
have about so 900 converts among their
people, there being $500 members at Cum

tized dnring the past three years. Three
thousand two hundred and thirty-nine of
those were baptized last year. and in O

tized. Notwithstanding this great work
there Is not more tnan one Christian to
ninety mine heathens around them.
Mr.. Newcomb will lecture for u time
among the churches to stir mp an interest
in foreign missions.

here. The food is carefully prepared. and
IN most cases. doubtless, much better than
the little ones have at home. There is an

IRON GETS A LICENSE.
He viii Sell Liquor on the New State
Fair Grounds

The County Commissioners granted three
hquor licenses yesterday. one of the three
being permit TO Bill Iron To sell Iiqnor at
the fair grounds. The license was signed
by Commissioners Stout and Farrell. Mr..
Hunter refusing TO sign 1t. Notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Iron has received his license. it is
still a question whether he will be able to
use il. The State Board of Agriculture has
declared that no liquor shall be sold on tn q
grounds. and 1t is not likely they will
change their position. The Trotting Asso-
citation. however, has lease of the ground =
for the racing season and 1t is presumed
that Iron expects to buy the privilege
through that source.
