THE sAYwARD CASE.

The Political Issue bod ged In the De-
cision OF tho Court.
WAsHINaToN, Feb, 29.-The opinion OF
the United States supreme court, in the
case of ex parte Thomas H. Cooper,
owner of the Canadian schooner Say
ward, by which the government Of
Great Britain and the Dominion of G an
ada sought to obtain from the highest
legal tribunal in the United States the
determination OF the question of the
right of the United States to exercise
exclusive eNjurisdiction over the seal fish
cries in Bering sea, was today rem
dered.
The court first took up the question
OF the right OF the supreme court to is-
sue writ of prohibition against the
Alaska court. 1t says, although the
Alaska court is not mentioned in the act
giving the United States supreme court
power to issue writs of prohibition
and to review the decisions of district
courts, yet, nevertheless, where the
Alaska court is acting as a district court
of the United States, and in admiralty
proceedings, it comes within the pur-
view of the act giving the supreme
court power to review by way OF q writ
of prohibition.
and says the libel on it's face states that
the court found that the sealing had
taken place within the limits of Alaska,
and the waters thereof, thus making
its jurisdiction appear fully on the face
of the proceedings. The owner OF the
vessel, the court says, could have ques-
Al -s.,kk k<1e< <ho ~ IN ovornsro
jurisdiction and try the case. He did
not do 80, and the court holds that IT
cannot now, on the ground that the pri.
vate rights OF the owner were involved,
issue writ Of prohibition to determine
whether or not the Alaska court had the
Jurisdiction clearly asserted on the face
OF the proceedings.
Justice Field dissented in this case,
and also from the decision in favor Of
the United States in the case of the
schooner Sylvia Hany, an American
vessel seized for illegal sealing, and in
which the points raised were the same
as in the Sayward case.
The political question the court did
not actually decide, thought it conveyed
Q very broad intimation that had it had
narrower ground on which to refuse the
. Writ, II would have declined togrant the
writ on the ground that the court should
not pass upon question political In ma
ture., It said the matter had long been
in controversy and negotiation between
the two governments.
1t recognized the honor paid the court
in the willingness expressed to have 1t
review the merits of the facts % to
whether or not this country's jurisdic-
ton extends over the whole of Bering
sea. but did not think legal tribunals
should interfere with assumption of ter.
ritorial sovereignty made by other de.
partments of the government.

BERINa SEA NEaOTIATIoNs.
An Arbitration Treaty 1T Last Defi-
nitely Agreed Upon.

An ArbttratlOn treaty ~ Last Don-
nttely Agreed Upon.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-Negotiations
between the United States and Great
Britain looking to the submission to ar
bitration OF the controversy between
the two countries in regard to the Ber-
ing sea seal fisheries, reached favora-
BILE conclusion today. Pauncefote, Brit
ish minister. signed the treaty Of arbi-
tration, today, in behalf of Great Brit
ain. He said he was fully authorized
by Lord Salisbury to take this action.
Blaine signed the document in behalf of
this government, and the matter
was consumated, so far as the
diplomatic part of the business is
concerned. The treaty is still subject,
however, to the action of the British
parliament and the United States senate.
The exact terms of the treaty cannot
now be stated, but it is known the board
of arbitration will consist of seven per-
sous, two representing the United
States, two representing Great Britain,
one of whom is to De Canadian, and
one each representing the neutral gov
ernments, France, Sweden and Italy.
The joint commission considering the
sealing industry, held another meeting
this afternoon. 1t will probably close
its sessions this week.

FIELDEN AND sCHwAB.

The Supr emo Court Refuses to Free the
Anarchists on . Technicality.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-In the cases
of the anarchists Fielden and Schwab,
now serving life terms in the Joliet,
Illinois, penitentiary, for participation
in the Haymarket. riots, the United
States supreme court confirmed the de-
cision OF the supreme court of Illinois
that their sentence was not in violation
of the constitution.
Justice Harlan, who delivered the
opinion of the court, first took up the
ground that the prisoners had been de-
MED due process of law, because not
present when the Illinois supreme court
passed sentence. The supreme court of
Illinois, says the opinion, was not one
OF original jurisdiction. Sentence was
pronounced by the court of Cook county
and the supreme court Of Illinois merely
fixed the date in conformity with the
criminal code. No constitutional right
of the prisoner was denied by the state
record the facts that Schwab and Fielden
were not present when Judgment was
pronounced. The sentence of death was
AOU PlOAOuACCu NY tu0 COuI
The latter body simply affirmed the
judgment of the Cook county court. No
well considered case supports the con-
tent ion Of the appellant. Neither reason
nor public policy require that the de-
fendant shall be personally present
pending proceedings in the appellate
court, whose function is to determine
whether there were errors in the record
to the prejudice of the accused, and
especially where, as in this case, he had
counsel to represent him in the court of
review. The judgment of conviction was
not vacated by the writ of error; it's
execution was only suspended, pending
proceedings in the appellate court. The
Joliet penitentiary is made the place for
the confinement of persons sentenced by
the courts, 80 that the detention of an
appellant by the warden OF the peniten-
tiary, is not in violation of any right
secured to him by the federal constitu-
ton.
In reading the opinion the justice
made no mention of the point taken by
the appellent, that the government could
commute sentence, but could not pro-
vide for its execution.
The above decision was given in the
case OF Schwab. In the case OF Fielden
the same doctrine is applied by the
court to meet the point of absence of
the accused when resentenced.
The court also shortly disposed Of the
constitutional point raised, that the
rights of the defendant under the con-
stitution were violated by the refusal of
the supreme court of Illinois to amend
its record to show that he was not
present in person or by counsel at the
time it affirmed the judgment of the
trial Of the court.

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.--An evening
paper says Mrs. Nevins, mother of Ma
rian Nevins Blaine, in an interview to-
day, said the story told by Secretary of
State Blaine of their interview with Mrs.
Blaine is largely erroneous. Mrs.
Nevins rays she accompanied her daugh-
ter to the house, the nurse and child
being with them. When Mrs. Blaine
came in. they asked to see her husband,
but she replied they could not see him.
Mrs. Blaine insisted on the nurse leav-
ing the room,. and then matters were
talked over for some time.
- "When Marie spoke of going away
again." said Mrs. Nevins, "Mrs. Blaine
said: We'll, you can leave your baby
here if you want to-
eff Marie had been some poor out
cast, whom Jim Blaine had seduced, :"
added Mrs. Nevins, MRS. Blaine could
not have spoken in more brutal man
ner. A moment or two later Mrs. Blaine
turned to Marie and said. in an ex-
tremely significant way: well, your
marriage was all wrong anyway
"Then," said Mrs. Nevins, II pro-
tested. Mrs Blaine flew into a fury !;
rang the bell, and a servant appeared
with surprising speed. Show these
persons out, cried Mrs. Blaine. and then
che added, and watch them.'"
At the door of the carriage the nurse,
who was crying out Of sympathy for
Marie, said: Mrs. Blaine, you are q
goose to 60 away like this. You are his
wife. Go right up to his room. No one
has right to stop you
Marie went back into the house while
Mrs. Nevjns stayed in the carriage.
Then it was that the scenes took place.

LONDON, Feb. 29.-1t is now estimated
that 46O, 900 miners will cease work in a

the question then is, whether quorum
being present, the bill received a suffi
cient number of votes, and here the gen.

is that when quorum is present the act
OF the majority of the quorum is the act oi

tuition there is no such limitation as is
found in certain state constitutions that
a majority of all the members elected
shall be present and necessary to the

No wind there is thai either pipes or means;
The fields are cold and still; inc SKY g
Recovered with a blue-gray sheet a4f4
Of motionless cloud: and my feet
The river, curling softly by,
Whispers and dinlples round It's quiet gray
stones.
Along the chill green slope that dips and
heaVeS
The road runs rough and silent, lined
With pluIn-trees, misty and blue-gfay,
And Popiar5 pallid as the day,
III masses spectral, underlined,
Pale greenisn stems half hid in dry gray leaves
And on beside the rivers soper edge
A long fresh field lies black. Beyond,
Low Tickets gray and reddish stand,
-Stroked white with birch; and near at
hand,
Over a little steel-smooth pond,
Hang multitudes OF thin and Withered Sedge.
Across waste and solitary rise
A plOughman urges his dull team,
A stopped gray figure with prone brow z
That plunges bending to the plough
With strong uneven steps The stream
Rings and re-echoeS with his furious cries.
Sometimes the lowing of a,cow. long drawn,
Comes from far off; and crows IN strings
Pass on the upper Silences.
A flock OF small gray goldflnches,
Flown down with Silvery twitterlngS,
Rustic among the birch cones and are gone.
This day the season seems like one that heeds
With fixed ear and lifted hand
All moods that yet are known on eartn,
All motions that have faintest birth,
If haply she may understand
The utmost inward sense OF all her deeds.

A magnificent addition to the hackney
horse blood in America has been made
by Mr.. A. j. Cassatt, of Philadelphia,
president of the American Hackney
Horse association. While in England
the past summer he bought and brought
home the famous hackney stallion Cadet
The horse is the highest priced hackney
ever brought to this country. The new
owner of course is rather reticent about
how much he paid for him, but the
price is said to have been not less than
$4,000. The coming horse in America
for both riding and driving appears to
be the hackney, of which Cadet is con-
sidered to be the best living represent
alive. He is 8 years old and of the
model height-15 hands inches. He is
dark chestnut in color. Breeders who
expect to go in for money in the next
dozen years cannot do better than to
turn their skill and capital in the direc-
ton of hackney blood. If the present
revolution in street car transit continues
the horse will go out entirely from this
service, his place being taken by cleo
tricity and steam. Then of horses there
will be demand chiefly for four kinds
the heavy draft, the general purpose farm
horse, the pony and the fashionable
animal for riding and driving. Here is
where the hackney will come in.
It will be unfortunate indeed if an
thrax should crop out among any Of the
cattle in this country. In the suspected
cases of the cows that died near Will
mington, Del, the symptoms were bloody
dysentery, staggering gait, froth at the
mouth, short, quick breathing, weak
ness and great thirst. In true anthrax
after the animal is dead its body is found
to be decomposed and filled with black
blood. The disease is apt to infest rich
bottom lands. The best remedy is to
kill the animals that are infected and
quarantine the farm where the sickness
has appeared. A archaeological exam
ination will detect with certainty
whether the disease is anthrax.
A Wyoming man has this to say:
"More cattle are now feeding ON the
small farms of one state in the great
plains than could be ranged over the
whole area from the lakes to the gulf"
When horse is lame and stiff moth
ing better can be done than to remove
his shoes and let him run on pasture
awhile.
