PAGAN FIRE-SETTERS.
Chief ScannelI Keeping Close Watch
on Chinatown.

Chin atown is now guarded probably bet
ter than any other part of the city.
This has not come about so much through
the need Of police surveillance in regard 10
the highlander troubles as the fact that fires
are becoming of daily occurrence, and most
Of them are connected with suspicious elf
cDmstances.
The great number of fires gives color 10
the belief that the Mongols are adopting
certain methods known to another race on
the insurance question when their business
is IN non-paying position.
This has become so apparent within the
past few weeks that extra precautions are
being taken throughout the Chinese dis
trict, and both the fire patrol and Fire De-
partment are giving IL their closest atten-
tion.
Chief Seannell was seen yesterday after
noon and asked TO give his opinion in regard
to the matter. In reply he said:
In my opinion nearly every fire OF con-
sequence we have had In that quarter lately
has been OF incendiary origin.
"Of course this is a hard matter TO prove,
but from my long experience with fire mat
ters have come to this conclusion.
1.-TWO of the latest fires l am sure were
set on purpose. and will recite one incident
which has led me TO this belief
1T is In the case of the fire that took
place on Clay street during the storm last
week, and which would have created a great
disaster II l had not been keeping the clos
est watch.
THE blaze started In room or entry way
where two Chinese we're accustomed to
sleep, but on the night in question they were
missing and have not been seen since.
They were not out on any business. as it
was almost o'clock in the morning. and
the Chinese are not given to parading the
streets at that hour OF night.
There Is no doubt that IL was set, but
then 1t is hard matter to prove.
These fires In strange places have caused
me to double my vigilance lately, and the
watch.
1.-The entire district is fully patrolIed and
fire Will have to get pretty big start to
get away with u.s."
The Chief stated that it was only this
vigilance that had prevented great confla-
grafton during the lata storm.

Signs OF Spring in Connecticut.

There are signs of an early spring in
this section Of Connecticut Last week
Erastus Boubou, an Oxford farmer,
caught q black snake summing himself
on rock. John Lines saw four blue
birds in Watertown last Sunday and a
Botsford farmer has seen robin. Judge
Fyler, the state insurance commissioner
whose farm is in Torrington, saw a gen.
uine snowbird on Friday. This is not
the bird that usually goes under this
name. It was an arctic bird of gray
ash color with two long, slender side
feathers. This bird seldom comes along
before March on its way north.
Another sign noticed by Judge Fyle1
was hawk, a bird which does not stay
SO far north as this in the winter. Crows
are plentiful, another sign that spring is
here. Buckwheat cakes are becoming
tasteless and flat, and muskrats have
been seen on the banks of the Nauga.

THE BERING SEA MODUS
RATIFIED BY THE SENATE IN THE
QUICKEST TIME ON RECORD.
1t Renews the Agreement of Last Year,
and Provides for Indemnity to
Either Party.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The senate
committee on foreign relations this
afternoon reported favorably on the
modus vivendi convention with Great
Britain.
The treaty was discussed less than
two hours and ratified with substantial
unanimity.
The convention comprises seven arti-
cles. The first four are precisely similar
in language to last years modus, with
the exception of change in article of
the words until May 1st," to "during
the pendency of arbitration"
Briefly stated, the articles prohibit
Great Britain and the United States
from seal killing in Bering sea and on
taken on the islands by the United
States for the subsistence of the natives)
during arbitration; provide for seizure
of offending vessels and permit the resi-
dence of British agents on the islands
during the sealing season.
Articles and 6 are new and read as
follows: Article 8. If the result OF the
arbitration be to affirm the right of
British sealers to take seals in the
Bering sea, within the bounds claimed
by the United States, under its pur-
chase from Russia, then compensation
shall be made by the United States to
Great Britain (for the use OF Der SUBJ
jects) for abstaining from the exercise of
that right during the pendancy of arbi-
tration, upon the basis of such regulated
or limited catch or catches as, in the
opinion of the arbitrators, might have
been taken without undue diminution
of the seal herds; and on the other
hand, if the result of the arbitration
shall be to deny the right of the British
sealers to take seals within said waters,
then compensation shall be made by
Great Britain to the United States (for
itself, it's citizens and lesEees) for the,
by this agreement, limited island
catch of 1900 per season, upon the
basis of the difference between this
number and such larger catch as, in the
opinion of the arbitrators, might have
been taken without undue diminution
of the seal herd. The amount awarded,
if any, in either case, shall be such as,
under all circumstances, is just and
equitable, and shall be promptly paid.
Article 6. This convention may be re-
nounced by either of the high contract
ing parties at any time after the 31st
day of October 1898, on giving to the
other party two months' notice of its
termination; and at the expiration of
such notice the convention shall cease
to be in force.
The seventh and last article simply
provides for the exchange OF ratifcations
as early as possible.
The treaty is signed by Secretary
Blaine and Mr.. Julian Pauncefote. and
dated yesterday, go today the senate
probably broke the record for speedy &C.
ton upon treaties.

In reply to the complaint of Commis-

upon the pension Office by congressional
correspondence and congressional call
slips, Secretary Noble ordered that
claimants and attorneys shall be advised
of the status of their claims direct, and
claimants on congressional call slips
shall receive the same treatment.

THE WAR JUST STARTED.
SERIOUS PHASE OF THE RUSTLERS'
TROUBLE IN WYOMING.
No News from the Scene of HOstilities
Since Saturday-A Cabinet Session
on the Subject.

OMAHA, April ia special to tht
Bee from Caspar, Wyoming, says: 1t il
reported in Caspar on good authority
that the United States troops. with theil
prisoners, started from Buffalo for Doug
las Yesterday. Trouble is looked for
The general opinion is that the war hat
just started. Public feeling is very bit
ter, and men are arming themselves fol
protection.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 19.-The wire
north Of Douglas to Buffalo is still down,
and owing to general binding snow
storm, cannot be repaired. 1t is re.
ported here that the stockmen have
started for Douglas, under military
escort, bound for Fort Russell,
get through in less than four or five
roads. II the report is true the journey
will be perilous, not only on account Of
the raging snow storm, but of the
chances the narrow defiles will give any
assaulting party. The governor has not
been informed Of the departure of the
troops.

Van Horne may have gone down the
Burlington railroad bridge crosses the
road. By this maneuyer he
would nave left 1000 armed and mounted
rustlers at least 100 miles to the right
and prevented an attack upon the men.
Colonel Van Horne should have arrived
at the railroad tonight, and General
Brooks is anxiously waiting news OF
him.
1t is said three members of the cattle
mems party were killed at the T. A.
ranch, where the regulars besieged
them, and that another was shot
down while the surrender was
being arranged under flag of truce.
The three men killed were shot in
passing from an improvised fort to a
cellar few yards distant where the
party kept their supplies.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-The trust
lers' trouble in Wyoming was the prin-
cipal topic of discussion at the meeting
of the cabinet today. The situation is
regarded as serious, in view of the fact
that the feeling against the prisoners
in charge of the military ia
very bitter, and also because
of the freely expressed threats of des-
perate men that they mean to avenge
the killing Of Champion and Ray at the
first opportunity.
No word has been received from Colo
mel Van Horne, and the captives at F.
V. McKeaver, since Saturday,
when he wired General Browne at
Washington, that he would start that
day for Douglas to turn the prisoners
over to the civil authorities. Efforts to
communicate with Fort Mckinney and
vicinity have since failed, and
this has led to the belief that
the rustlers have destroyed telegraphic
communication in order to prevent the
authorities from learning the truth ol
the situation until after they have
accomplished their purpose. General
Brooke wired today that he
did not anticipate any trouble
en- route. General Schofeld said he
felt no uneasiness as there is no reason
why the soldiers should be attacked
and he was confident of their ability tt
protect themselves and the prisoners
| It is understood orders have been giver
to re.establish telegraphic communica
ton with the scene of trouble as soon al
possible

CATARI2H.

Catarrh is often regarded by the patient as cold in the head, and he often expresses aston ishment at his remarkable tendency to contract fresh cold, indeed he declares that he is scarce ly free from one cold before he takes another, and be is always eXcet dtnPly careful; 1t is also matter of surprise to him that the cold always seems to settle in the head and throat.
 sense of weariness is sometimes felt in reading, speaking singing; hoarness at times occurs, a sensation of dryness is felt in the throat, or it appears that some foreign subs tanee as for instance, q hair, obstructed the thr pat; there becomes a sense of languor and fatigue; the breath lessen lon c little exertion, a short hacking cough, a peculiar sound in clearing the throat. a feeling as though there was not room enough in the chest to breathe. These and other symptoms occur after the dis ease has made considerable progress. Then 1t is time when consumption is about to begin it's dreadful work. U to this point the progress of the disease may have been slow, and the pa tent may, in expressing his confident hope that it will wear of, declare that he has had the catarrh for years and has not seemed to become much worse, and he trusts he will by and by re cover. But this delusion is the grand error which has Teopled our cemeteries with con sumptive forms, as all forms of catarrh finally end in consumption.
