WASHINGTON, March 4.-The course
of negotiations now In progress between
the United States and Great Britain
touching the seal fisheries OF the Boring
sea are being closely watched by members
of the committees ofthe senate and house.
The report from London to the effect
that Lord Salisbury has refused to renew
modus vivendl Is received with dissatis-
faction.
1t Is reolized that arbitration provided
for in the treaty about to be submitted to
the senate cannot be completed in time to
avail for the protection of zeal waters and
a counter proposition made by Lord Sails
bury looking to the establishment of a
protected belt extending only thirty miles
from the shores of PrIbylov islands is
looked upon as beng entirely inadequate
to meet the case.
Members of the congressional commit
tee do not disguise their belief in private
that unless the British government shows
a disposition to Join in the work now pro-
tecting the waters of Berlng from poach-
ers during the progress of the arbitration
the United States government must I'M
.dertake the task and execute q law which
has been repealed, requiring 1t to protect,
the seal Fisheries. IT this course Is fol-
lowed the situation will assume a phase
very similar to that preceding the re-
adoption of the modus vivendI last year,
and the government will resume the policy
of the seizure of offending vessels. which
may lead to energetic protests and perhaps
retaliatory action by Great Britain.

ST. LOUIS, March 4.-"God has pun
ished u.s." was the groanIng confession by
Mrs. Marcus Cohen today of an attempt
at arson, which resulted in the death of
her husband and brothers in-law. Marcus
and Abraham Cohen. Just alter 3 o'clock
this morning an officer was attracted to
2744 Central avenue by a fire at that time
showing through a window. In the
building dwelt Marcus Cohen, his wife
and three children and his brother Abra.
ham over the store owned by Marcus.
Scarcely had the officer reached the place
when an explosion of terrific force blew
out the entire building.
The body of Abraham was burned to u
crisp, Marcus was horribly burned and
was removed to the hospital. An exami-
nation showed that the gas fixtures had
all been unscrewed, allowing the gas to
flow into the room. and that a night or
two ago teams had been employed carry
ing goods out of the back entrance of the
store. An empty gasoline can was also
found. Cohen died of his injuries at the
hospital.
The men evidently designed to bnrn
the place to secure the insurance. Of the
family nothing can be learned beyond a
half confession in the woman's means,
God has punished u.s.. The family
moved into the place two weeks ago with
a store and household outfit. The insur-
ance, which it is now believed the men
planned to gain. but lost their lives in-
stead. was s. 500.

Case of HYDE and JekyII.

CHICAGO, Marcel. 4.-Who drew up
the forged will is tonight the first qnes
ton in the ekyll-H Hyde case that is puz-
cling all Chicago. But for the alleged
discovery Of DIR. Scudier's surreptitious
handling of private papers of the rich
woman he IS charged with having muir
dered, he might never have been suspect
ed of the crime, The forged will Is in
possession OF Attorney Tolman, repre-
sentlng the dead woman's husband and
sister. The circumstances under which
Scudder had it drawn, if he did, will
20 far to prove or %disprove his sanity and
guilt.
1t seemingly was prepared by a lawyer
and the question of identity and possible
completely Is being carefully put toward
solution. 1t is said an expert to whom
the two wills were submitted before DIR.
Scudder's arrest, and who knew nothing
Of the circumstances in the case, decided
without hesitation that the two docu.
ments were not signed by the same per
son. One signature showed the tremor Of
old age or feebleness. and the other was
firmly written with forced attempts at
%lrregularity of outline.

New YORK, March 4.-Judge Van

days. AT 7:15 this evening Judge Van

confusion. The judge. with much delib-
Grafton, was putting on his overcoat, while
the jury seemed too much surprised to DO
anything but sit still and wonder.
Then Mr.. Cochran walked over to DIS
trlct Attorney Nicoll and remarked
well. I'll be damned" 80 will l."
replied the district attorney. The Judge
left the court, but.wa intercepted by the
counsel, who. with many promises In
duced him to return. He did SO. only to
adjourn the court until tomorrow. The
case will probably be concluded then.
Judge Van Brunt's action is almost un-
Dr~ecedented.

Proh,b,t,onIsts' Convention.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 4.-The prohi-
bition state convention for the election of
delegates to the national convention con.
cluded its session this evening. The in
terest centered mainly 10 the selection of
the chairman of the delegation. and some
bitterness was provoked on account Of al
legged recent converts to overthrow the
plans of old workers. The platform
adopted renews adherence to the cause OF
prohibitions; declares the right of the citi-
zens of the United States to vote should
not be denied or abridged by the United
States or any state on account of sex; the
government should own and operate
the railroads, telegraphs and telephones
of the nation. Fhe money of the country
should be issued by the general govern
ment only, and in sufficient quantity to
meet the demands of business and give
full opportunity for the employment of
labor. and to this end an increase in the
volume of money is demanded; no indi-
vidual or corporation should be allowed to
make any profit through issuing it; 1t
should be made legal tender for all debts;
the volume should be fixed at a definite
sum per capita and made to increase with
increased population.
This government should reclaim all un-
claimed and forfeited land grants to rail-
ways or other corporations, and such
lands. together with the remaining por-
portion of the public domain. should be
reserved for actual settlers. Trusts should
be prohibited. Just service of pensions
is recommended. The election of sena-
tors, president and vice president. by a
direct vote of the people is favored. OPP
position is declared to all manner of COM
promise or so-called non partisan action.
to which the question of the suppression
Of the liquor traffic Is made secondary

WASHINGTON. March 4.-The pure
food bill was taken up and Vest stated at
length his position in regard to it and
and such legislation in general. The
pending measure was one of that brood
of bills that grew out OF a feeling OF
paternalism which was spreading over the
country. He believed the constitution
intended that inspection and quarantine
laws should be in the hands of the states.
The people of the United States were be-
ing taught instead OF going to their state
authorities to go to congress for every
thing-trom a million acres of land to a
paper of pins. States were slowly having
their constitutional power taken away
and the power was being vested in con-
gress TODAY intended by the trainers of
the constitution to be LETT to the states
exclusively.
some days ago. that the bill was aimed
particularly at the cotton seed oil inter-
ests. He defied anyone to point out one
mated against any honest and honestly
branded article OF food in favor of another.
AS to the ~extravagant criticism that the
bill would be used for imaginary political
purposes, it was a serious matter, he
said. to charge, even indirectly. that
those engaged in the formation of the
bill and the great body of people who
demanded its passage were moved chiefly
by a desire to ~inaugurate a cheap, nasty
political scheme for partisan uses.
After the delivery of eulogles on the
late Representative Lee, the senate ad-
journed until Monday.

Sarah AIthea Breaks Loose Again

SAN FRANCISCO, Gala. March Poor
Sarah Althea Terry broke out again
last night and created a scene in the Russ
house, where she had engaged a room.
On Sunday night she left BLACK
Nanny Pleasance's house and said she
was going to take rooms in Stockton
street. Yesterday she met Porter Ashe
on the street and he gave her money for
immediate wants. She then engaged
a room at the Russ house, but when the
proprietor discovered whom he had under
his roof he played a trick on Sarah aud
asserted that the room had been prevl-
ously engaged. She refused to bulge.
But when a big, strapping miner went
up to the room, made himself at home,
lit a cigar and began to undress. Sarah
walked out yowing revenge on Pro-
prietor Seymour. AS luck would have it,
she ran across HIM at the entrance, told
him what she thought of him, and kicked
him on the shins. 1t Is evident that
something will have to be done to restrain
her, as she is so restless she will not re-
main In one place more than two or three
days, and she is apt to fly into a rage on
the slightest opposition to her wishes.
Porter Ashe has promised to supply her
with what money she needs, but she re.
quires a guardian to look after her per.
sonal safety.

NEW YORK, March4 "A meeting of

railway and Union stock yards company
was held IN the Fuller building, jersey
City, today, when the big deal between
the company and the three big beef pack.
ers of Chicago-Armour, Swift and Nor.
ris-was ratified without a hitch. The
The directors of the company made a
contract with the packers by which the
latter agreed that all of the cattle slaugh-
tered by them for the next fifteen years
should pass through the company's yards
and guaranteed an aggregate income to
the company of 81. 0O0,0 900 for the next
six years. They also convey to the COM
pany the Central stock yards and 1000
acres of land at Tolleston. near Chicago,
where they had intended to establish
yards of their own.
AS its share of the contract the compa-
ny will turn over So. 900. 900 of 5 per cent
income bonds to Messrs. Armour. Swift
& Morris. The directors were driven to
make the deal in consequence Of the FRO
iect of the triumvirate to carry their en-,
tire packing business to Tolleston, which
would have cut off over so per cent of the
business and income OF the Chicago
yards. OF the 100. 900 shares of stock,
go, 500 were represented by proxies at to
days meeting. and only $500 of those
were cast against the deal. President

ing and presided at the meeting of direc-
tors held after the stockholders had ad-
journed. The other directors present
were John Quincy Adams of Boston,

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.


WASHINGTON, March 4.-Greek met
Greek in the house today and fer a few
minutes a lively parliamentary ~colloquy
was carried on between Speaker Crisp
aud ex Speaker Reed over the vexed
question of mo quorum" The entire
day had been consumed in a desultory
consideration of minor measures and Kill
gore of Texas moved a recess until 8 pm.
On a division the vote stood IS to "a.
Enloe demanded ~tellers, and they being
refused, raised the point that no quorum
had voted.
The gentleman from Tennessee" said
the speaker, makes the point OF no quo
rum, and on that motion the chair will
have to appoint tellers.
Here Mr.. Reed interposed with the re-
mark, The gentleman docs not make the
point of no quorum; he makes the point
that nc quorum voted"
Under the rules of the house and I'M
der the present administration of the
house." said the speaker, the gentlemen
are not present unless they vote" lAp-
plause on the democratic side.
That shows" said Mr.. Reed, that
there has been a new system adopted
since the last congress-"
That shows that the present occupant
of the chair will endeavor to enforce the
rules of the house as they now exist" re
torted the speaker.
Nevertheless , replied the ex-speaker,
the observation | ms6e is entirely cor
rect"
Perhaps i. is" said the speaker, with
dignity" but it is entirely out of order"
1T is entirely correct. y persisted Mr..
Reed, land the chair has no right to
make such remarks"
THE chair thinks the gentleman en-
tirely out of order, reiterated the speaker.
THE point of no quorum was made by
somebody else; the chair entertained the
point, whereupon the gentleman from
Maine made a suggestion.
And thereupou," interposed Mr.
Reed. II said to the chair that the gen
tleman made the point that no quorum
had voted, and the chair stated it to be a
point of no quorum. which is a different
proposition. | have a right to call the
attention of the chair to that. The chair
had no right to make such a retort. even
If he was supported by disorderly ap
plause upon his side. which he permitted. "
The chair will state" said the. speak
er. that there is no distinction under the
present rules of the house between the
point of no quorum present and of no
quorum voting. There was a distinction
between those points under the rules of
the last congress"
During the colloquy between the speak
er and ex speaker both gentlemen APP
peared to lose, in some degree. their
customary equapimity and their retorts
were characterized by some degree of
warmth. The house afterwards took a
recess until 8 D.. M, the evening session
to be for private pension bills.
