ISLE OF SHOALS SHlPWRECK.
Three Fishermen, Driven Ashore, Are
Rescued by the Life Savers.

PORTSMOUTH, N. HI, March 4.-This
afternoon, the life-saving crew at Jerry's
Point, saw signals Of. distress flying on
Duck Island, Isle of Shoals. Word was
sent to this city, and the tug Cocheco
went to Jerry's Point, took on board the
life-saving crew and boat and proceeded
thence to Duck Island. The sea was.
breaking all around the island and it was
with great difficulty that the lifeboat
crew succeeded in landing ON the island.
The found the shipwrecked men who
had made the signals, to be three lobster
fishermen, whose boats had been
sunk OF smashed by the heavy sea leav-
ing them prisoners. They had been on
the island since Wednesday night. Owing
to the sea breaking over them on shore,
they were obliged to take refuge on the
highest point Of the island, where they
were exposed to the full force of the
storm, and they suffered terribly from
exposure. The lifeboat took them off
and carried them to Appledore Island.

No MODUS VIVEADI.
Lord Salisbury Will Propose a Sub
Stitute Measure.
THE JOINT COMMISSION HAVE
HELD FINAL SESSION.

Two Reports Will Be Made to the Board
of Arbitration-The Treasury Depart
ment Making Unusual Arrangement
for Enforcement Laws.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-The fact was
developed today that the authorities
here had received notice that Lard Sails
bury was unwilling, while arbitration
proceedings in the aBehring Sea dispute
are pending, to renew the modus videndi
of last year.. -.& .l.
He is said to be willing, however, to
take necessary steps for putting stop
during the approaching season to mis-
cellaneous deep sea seal fishing within
thirty miles of the Pribylof Islands. 1t
was impossible to learn at the State De-
partment the precise nature of the SUBJ
stitute proposed by Lord Salisbury.
1t is probable that this information re-
ceived from London caused President
Harrison to shorten his stay at Virginia
beach, and that he will return to Wash
ington on Saturday instead of on Monday
as he had contemplated.
1t is therefore likely that the streaty of
arbitration will be submitted to the Sem
ate early next week, possibly Monday.
Arrangements to Enforce the Law in
Behring Sea.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-,The Treas
ury Department is making usual arrange
ment for the enforcement of the laws in
regard to the seal fisheries. The revenue
cutters Rush, Corwin and Bear are being
fitted out at San Francisco for their an
nual cruise in Behring Sea. The sealing
fleet have already begun operations in
the vicinity of the Columbia river, and
the Treasury Department are consider
ing the advisability of dispatching the
revenue cutter there to see that no seal
ing is done within three miles of United
States territory.

In spite of all this misery there is total
absence of evidence Of vice among the

The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1892-02-21

More than a year ago the trustees Of
the Metropolitan Museum Of Art in the
city Of New York, determined to oper
the institution on Sundays. At that
time we took occasion to heartily
commend the action Of the museum au-
thorlties and to express the hope that
their effort to widen and heighten the
scheme of life Of working men and
women might meet with the success
which we believed it deserved. 1t was
impossible, then as nov, to ignore the
fact that many we'll meaning people in
sisted that the working classes had no
real interest in such things. That the
Sunday visitors to the museum would
be almost entirely Of a class that could
spare the necessary time equally we'll on
any other day Of the week. That the
laboring class would be conspicuous by
its absence and that the whole thing
from the point of view of it's promoters
was bound to be a dismal failure. It is
pleasant, therefore, to read in the an
nual report Of the museum that the
number Of working visitors has gone on
steadily increasing since the change
was made, and it is certainly not too
much to infer that valuable lessons and
valuable results have already been
learned and attained.
But right there the ro%se-color ceases.
The report shows a deficit in the treas
ury of more than $1,000. As the trustees
declare, the experiment has put burdens
on the finances Of the museum which
they are unable to bear. It has offended
some of the museums best friends and
supporters. 1t has alienated some who
have given freely Of their time and
NEAR to the institution. It has re-
suited in the loss Of a bequest OF s50,-
600. Losses such as these, though de-
plorable enough, we're certainly not in
the region of the unexpected, and the
trustees hope that the direct and cal
culable loss will be offset by a greater
public interest and a more generous
support. At present, however, the mu-
seum finds its burdens increased and
it's revenue NO larger than before.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
municipal authorities of the city of New
York will come to the rescue of the trus-
tees. We thoroughly believe that they
are carrying out a valuable educational
work, and that the closing of the mu-
on Sundays would be a decided
step to the rear. The people who are
most interested in the maintenance of
the Sunday privilege can do very little.
if anything, in the way of financial aid.
A city that can spend SO much on poll
teal m%aneuvering should surely be able
to spare the annual expenses necessary
for the artistic advance of many Of her
hard-toiling citizens.

"Utter improvidence,' says a Russian
periodical in discussing tho state of
affairs in the famine-blighted provinces
of the empire, ''utter improvidence, the
lack of union and Of foresight, tho habit

There it is. The insufficient sense of
