RATIFIED.

The Convention Between Great Britain and
the United States on the Sealing Question
Ratified BY the Senate.
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The senate
has ratified the convention providing
for a renewal of the existing modus
vivendi in Behring sea.
The convention includes seven art
icles. BY its terms the British govern
ment prohibits during tendency of
arbitration sealing in that part of the
Behring sea eastward from the line
of demarlzation of article l of the treaty
of cession, and promises to use it's best
effarts to insure prohibition by British
subjects and vessels. The United States
agree to prohibit sealing, save $500 for
subsistence of natives. Provision is
made for the seizure of seal
ing vessels, for continuance of
the clause allowing British
gents to visit the seal islands. In
event of decision of arbitrators adverse
to the United States then compensation
is to be paid upon basis of such a regu-
lated or limited catch as in the opinion
of the arbitrators have been taken
without an undue diminution of the
seal herd"
On the other har1, Great Britain IS to
compensate the United States upon the
basis of the difference between 500
seals and such larger catch as might
have been taken in the opinion of the
arbitrators. The agreement or modus
may terminate at any time after Octo-
Der 81, 1898, on two months notice.

MISERY IN TEXAS.

A Section of the State Reported to Be in
Great Distress-Disease and Famine Star
ing the People in the Face.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 21.-For
three year the counties of Starr, Hidal-
go, Encinal, Zapata and Duval have
been subjected to drought of such Sc
verify as to render the production of the
necessaries of life impossible.
The season for planting this year has
passed and early crops having been
killed by frost there is no hope for re-
lief unless summer rains should secure
light fall crop.
The loss of stoclzs the depreciation in
value of all kinds of property, the ina
bility of ranchmen to procure money
for the payment of taxes, the prevalence
of smallpox through a section extend
ing through San Ignacio in Zapata
county, to Rio Grande City in Starr
county and the baleful effects of the
Cara revolutions combined have pro-
duced restitution hitherto unknown.
The losses on cattle, the principal in
dustry of this section, are estimated at
so per cent, and in Nueces county alone
60, 900 head have died.
The famine district contains popula-
ton estimated at IL, 900 to 90. 600 people,
and probably one-quarter of this num-
Der require assistance, while the re-
sources of the balance of the population
are only adequate to maintain them
selves and families.
The counties in which the suffering
is reported form the main portion of the
southern extremity of Texas. Zapata,
Starr and Hidalge counties, bordering
ON the Rio Grande, the boundary line
between the United States and Mexico,
and Nueces on the Gulf of Mexico.
Corpus Christi is the chief city of
Nueces county and Rio Grande of Starr
county. The country is covered with a
thick growth of chapparal. Fort Ring
gold is within a few miles of the latter
place.

BRIGHTER PROSPECTS.

Dun's Weekly Review More Favorable to
the West-Grain Exports.
New YORK, April 25.-R. G. Dun &
Co. IS weekly review of trade says: Dad
weather has interfered with the trade
at many points, and delayed seeding at
the west. In that section, neverthe-
less, signs of improved distribution con-
tinue, prospects are bright and business
is much greater than last year. At the
east improvement is more moderate, and
yet the aggregate of transactions is
quite clear, though the season is not the
busy one for some important trades.
At the south there is a distinctly better
feeling, owing to the advance in the
price of cotton, but much the greater
part of the crop has been marketed, and
general business is now but moderately
affected. General conditions of trade
remain favorable.
Merchandise exports from New York
for the month show a gain of but per
cent, while the imports for the month
thus far exceed by 10 per cent. those of
last April, which were the largest ever
known. Wheat exports during half the
week have been less than $780, 900 bush
els against western receipts of 1855, 900,
but the price has advanced 3 cent,
though exports have dropped material
ly. Oats have declined 1 cent and cof-
fee = cent, with pork products steady.
In cotton a further advance of an Is
here occurred, Notwithstanding mate
rial decline in recent exports. Very
little change is seen in the great indus
tries, though the demand for cotton at
some points distinctly improves.

seven days number POI as compared
with a total of 226 last week. For the

Wild Rumors to Troubles Which Lack

wild Rumors as to Troubles Which Lack
Confirmation and Are Very Likely I'm
true.
ELRENo, Ok, April 21.-From all
over the new country come rumors OF
warfare and violent deaths. Absolute
confirmation of these wild stories is
lacking, however, in every case and the
most of them are utterly groundless.
Most men in Elreno and those return
ing from the open lands are willing to
wager that the rush into the Cheyenne
and Arapaho lands has resulted in the
death of no man, but all manner of
stories come in none the less.
At noon yesterday these reports had
reached d total of twenty men killed.
There was tale of fourteen men slain
in pitched battle in county Il. II was
to this county that the rival colonies of
allied Texans and ArkanSanS and the
men from Kansas went. War be-
tween these two was predicted from
the start. Late this afternoon the story
came in how the two opposing bands
fought viciously at Rossmore, the new
town site, with a result of fourteen
dead. It was struggle for possession
of the town, the stories said.
Then it was declared that southwest
of this city sooners had fired on troops,
battle had ensued and a sooner was
killed. No such affair, however, was
reported at Fort Reno, to which post
couriers are to be sent from all detach-
mentS at every unusual occurrence

heard Melvin d. Sipole, known as Al
bert King, tell the story of the

was sentenced to confinement in
the penitentiary for four years.
Lizzie Dennis, with sobs and suppressed
emotion, also told of her participate
in the abduction of the child. When
the woman's story was ended she was
sentenced to two years in the peniten-

The Indiana Supreme Court Holds That
Editors Ara Not In Contempt For Calling
the Attention of Judges and Grand Juries
to Violations of Law.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 25.-The
supreme court, Judge Odds handing
down the opinion, in which all the
judges concurred, reversed the action of
Judge Taylor, of the Vigo circuit court,
relative to w. 0. Fishback, editor, and
George NJ. Allen, proprietor of the Terre
Haute Express. These gentlemen were
sent to Jail for contempt of court in
writing and publishing articles rela-
tive to bids for a sewer in Terre
Haute, and charging that Judge
Taylor stopped grand jury inves-
tigation as to alleged corruption
in connection with the bids The SUI
preme judges hold that it is legitimate
and proper for the press to call the at
tention of a judge and grand jury and
officers of the law to violations of law
believed to have been committed and
ask that an investigation be made.
This has been done by the Terre Haute
papers in this instance. The court
then reviewed the articles which had
been printed in the Express, and held
that they did not cast any reflection
upon the court. They were rather
in the nature of a criticism of
the grand jury. Further along in
the opinion, Judge Odds said that
it ought to be understood that
the public press has rights with which
courts haze no power to interfere. 1t
was also recognized by him that there
is limit beyond which self-respecting
newspapers should not pass. He said
in this connection that it is seldom that
a self-respecting journalist so far for
gets himself as to trespass upon the
rights of the Judiciary. In summing
up, the court held that the defendants
were entitled to acquittal on their an
swer, and the decision was therefore re-
versed and the case remanded back for
