to Paris. In 1888 he appeared in London,
where ne has resided ever since, being
constantly under the watch OF Scotland
Yard detectives. For year or two after
coming to London Apotowki was known
to receive assistance from Russian nihl-
lists. He finally became demented and
wrote menaclng letters to the Ear, Prince
Bismark and other high personages. His
activity in this respect kept the foreign
officers of Europe busy with complaints
and inquiries. Of late the wretched old
man had lodged with French cook in
Chatton garden.

Kingsley Items.
KINGSLEY. March "a, 1892.


Editor TINES -MoUsrAISEER:
Not seeing a letter for long time in
your valuable Journal. from Kingsley l
thought would try and send you a few
items.
Farmers are nearly through blowing and
some have considerable grain sowed. We
hope and look for good crop this season.
Its glorious spring.
Glad to see an Improvement IS to be made
on Tygh hill road, but great many farmers
around here believe that the road should
have been made up what is called and
known as McLeod's canon, thence straight
north for five or six miles and comiug out
on the county road at Glavey's ranch. Two
great advantages a road running this way
would have over the proposed new route
would be never failing supply of good
water in two or three places on the road,
and most decidedly leveller grade. There
is no water on the present road nor will
there be on the new route between Dutur
and Tygh Valley IA distance of l5 or l6
miles) during the dry season.
We held our primary here on Saturday
last and had large meeting. Glad to say
we elected anti-Farley and Gourlay dele.
gates to attend the county convention on
the 26th. They are men of good, sound,
common sense, who will not listen or be die
tated to by any clique or ring, but whose
sole desire is to have put in nomination
for Office capable men who will command
the respect, confidence, and vote of their
own party.
The chain that Farley and Gourlay want
ed to bind the electors of this precinct with
has been broken. Their political schemes
won't work in Kingsley. would call their
best attention to the following extract
copy from one of your leading articles in
your weekly issue of the 10Th, "When any
organization becomes so corrupt as to will
fully trample on the opinion of electors, its
doom is sealed" More anon. LIBERTY.

Coulee Incensed at a Gamblers Rash
Deed.

CoULEE Cry, Wash, March 25-There
has been intense excitement here this
week over the shooting of Charles H.
Pascoe, reputable citizen, by John Cor
ley, gambler, in saloon. The excite
ment eliminated this morning In ver-
dict of murder in the first degree,
brought by the coroner's jury. For three
nights past, threats of lynching CorleY
haye been made, but the iynchers have
iai ed TO appear. The killing of Pasco
was in one sense accidental, as Corley
was shooting at another person ct the
time. The prisoner was safely conveyed
to Waterville this morning.

War With England.

WASHINGTON, March 25-The sole sub
ject of talk in official circles is the DAM
ger of war with England. Few believe
that war will result, but all see the dam
ger of it and look for England to recede
from the position she has taken, as they
regard that position as utterly utenable.
The prevailing opinion seems to be that
war is preferable to the United States re-
tIIipg from the position she has taken.
No fears are expressed as to the ultimate
outcone should war be declared, but at
The same time, while not expecting it,
the United States will not be wholly un-
prepared should it come. Aside from the
&c ivItv which was displayed by the
navy, in anticipation of trouble with
Chill. the officials of the army are begin
uing To bestir themselves in acqualnting
themselves with the strength of the
enemy. The United States navy is now
stronger than for many years and otten-
zion is being directed to the army. In
the event of war Canada would doubtless
be attacked and overrun Immediately.
THE RELATIVE STRENGTH.
The Official reports of the Canadian
government show it has ~ the militia
$4,000 men. On the mustar rolls of the
statis, there are 140,Q 900 miitiamen. The
United States army is $4,000 strong, and
formidable force is now on the Cana
dian border. The Nineteenth infantry is
stationed at Detroit, Mich. the Ninth in
fantry at Sacke.t's Harbor, N. Y; five
companies at Forts Niagara and Potter,
and the Fourteenth infantry at Vancouver,
Wash. Aside from this formidable force,
which could be thrown into Canada at
the several points at few hours notice,
strong bodies OF United States troops are
stationed along the Canadian border at
Forts Buford, Spokane, Sherman and
Assiniboine. These facts we're very
generally discussed at the war depart
ment today and created some little en-
thusiasm as the old veterans of the last !
war shifted the battle from afar.

THE REPLY IN FULL.

~
LONDON, March 27.-Lord Salisbury,
under date of March 26, replied as fol-
lows to Sir Julian Pauncefote. in response
to Mr.. Wharton's note of March 90:
"Notlce has been given to owners of
ships sailing for Bebring sea that the
agreements to arbitrate and the immedi-
ate arrangements under discussion be-
tween Great Britain ana the United
States may affect the liberty of sealing in
Behring sea. They had notice of their
liability to interruption and will sail sub
ject to that notice. The question of time
is therefore not urgent. We concur in
thinking that when the treaty. has been
ratified there will arise a new state of
things. Until it is ratified our contract
will be governed by your note OF June IA,
1890 But when it is ratified both parties
must admit that the contingent rights,
which both desire to protect, become
vested in the other. We think the pro-
hibItion of sealing, If it stands alone,
would be unjust to British sealers if the
arbifrators should decide adversely to the
United States. We are willing, however,
when the treaty shall be ratified, to agree
TO an arrangement similar to last years,
if the United States will consent that the
arbitrators, In the event of a decision ad
verse 10 the United States, shall assess
the damages inflicted on the British
sealers during the pending arbitration
and in the event of decision adverse to
Great Britain assess the damages which
the limitation of slaughter shall during
the pendency of the arbitration have IN
flicted on the United States or it's lessees.
As an alternative we are willing after the
ratification of the treaty, to prohibit Seal
Ing in the disputed waters, if vessels be
excepted from prohibition, which produce
certificates that they have given security
for such damages as the srbitrators may
assess, in case the decision In adverse to
Great Britain, the arbitrators TO receive
the necessary authority in that respect.
In this case the restriction of slaughter on
the islands will not in point of equity be
necessary. Her majesty's government is
unable to see any other than one of these
two methods OF restricting seal hunting
in disputed waters during the arbitration,
which would be equitable to both par
ties"

A Reply Received.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Lord Sails
bury's reply to Acting Secretary Whar-
TONS note of the 22d inst. expressing the

vivendi for the protection of seal life in
the Behring Sea, was before the president
this afternoon. 1t bears date of the Goth,
and was received by Mr.. Wharton today,

the main lines.

are nOnassessable, but that the assessor of

such assessment by writ of mandate.

sessments in Island county. This date was
