WASHINGTON, March 25-nhe navy de
partment authorities hardly know how far
to go in the line Of extraordinary prepar-
ations until the international correspond
ence with reference to the Behring sea
dispute bears more conclusive aspect.
Meanwhile, although thenavy officials con-
cede that our relations with Great Britain
are decidedly straitened, few Of them in
reality expect actual hositilities to arise.
1T is also pointed out by naval ez-
perts that it will hardly be policy for
the department. to concentrate heavy
force of vessels in Behring sea, for even if
hostilities should be precipitated by an ex-
change of shots in those waters, war would
not be fought there, but nearer home. It
is rumored that President Harrison has
been given, by the Russian minister, assur-
ances that the Russian government will Cos
operate with this government in the mat
ter of protecting seals in Behring sea, and
that four men-of-war would be added to

WICKHAM CAUGHT.
Found at Morganfield Under an
Assumed Name.
he is Charged With Shooting Cum
ningham at Palmyra With Win
chester Rife few Weeks Ago.

Chief Of Police A. G. Stafford ar
rived in the city on the 1875 train this
morning, having in charge Walter
Wickham, who is charged with
shooting Morris Cunningham, near
Palmyra, several weeks ago, an ac-
count of which was published in the
LEAF CHRONICLE at the time. The
facts leading to the detection and sr-
rest of Wick ham are triefy told.
Some time ago Mr.. Stafford received
a letter from an officer at Morgan
field, KY, stating that man giving
his name as McKane had been ARE t.
ed there, and it was believed
that he was wanted in Ten,
n, ssee for an attempted MURDER.
Mr.. Stafford replied that he knew OF
no man by that name who was want
ed here, but sent the officer the dt-
scription of Wickham. The Ken.
lucky officer answered promptly that
they had Wickham, and fer some
one to come and get him. Mr.. Stat
ford went to Morganfield yesterday
and sure enough the right man had
been Gagged. He was brought to the
city and jailed.
Wickham and Cunningham quar-
relied abOut road ScraOer and it was
said at the time that Wickbam went
to Cunningham's house, called him
out and shot him with Winchester
rifle. Cunningham's life WAS de-
SPARED of for some time, but he tina'-
Iy recovered and he is now practical

COMPTROLLER ALLEN.

And Says He Will Prove This to the
Thorough Satisfaction of the Peo-

GROUNDED BY HIS ENEMIES. y

From Saturdays Banner: The sen.
sationaI report teIegraphed from
Nashville concerning an alleged
shortage in the State Comptroller's
office OF course created much discus
sion, but the Banners publication
giving the statement of Mr.. Leon
Trousdale, chief clerk, was regarded
as timely answer to a reckless re-
port. The books of the Comptroller
upon examination, which was freely
permitted, showed perfect balances
and no irregularity was discovered.
Comptroller Allen, who is in New
York, was interviewed and his state
ment sent in a special to the Ameri-
can was as follows: 81 an. in New
York with Gov. Buchanan and Treas

an opportunity. | will return to

by Mr.. Trousdale and published by

Comptroller had deposit of $4,000
if'the Sax Bank, the following card
was furnished for publication

ment is left undenied the impression
viii go abroad that Mr.. Allen had
really lost SO, 600 by the failure of the
Sax Bank. The facts are that he
never had SO, 600 in our bank at any
time, and the most he ever had in
our bank was about 81, 500, and at the
time of our embarrassment ne had
only about 81 $50 to his credit, and
this amount was paid to him in full,
and we hold his receipt for same as
Comptroller of the State OF
Tennessee. We owed him nothing
on his personal or individual account.

st.ras II xrnn.len Legs.

The demand for willow wood for
artificial legs has grown immensely
in recent years. The funny men on
the stage talk glibly of cork legs, but
light willow limbs are more popular.
English makers claim that the best
willow in the world is to be found
along the banks of the small streams
in their southern counties, and there
seems some ground for their conten-
ton, although an immense quantity
of good willow wood is cut every
year in this country. Statisticians
say that over 1000, 600 English speak
ing men wear or walk on wooden
legs, and this accounts for the enor
nous trade in limbs of this kind.
The old fashioned stump with an
iron tip on it is seldom seen now. 1t
was great success in its day, and
with reasonable care and luck lasted
close on to lifetime; but it was too
awkward and conspicuous, not to say
noisy, to be popular, The modern
wooden leg is more costly, but it is
much more comfortable, and many
a man who is compelled to walk by
the aid of one can give pointers in
grace and department to others more
blessed by fortune. est. Louis Globe
Democrat.

An Insolrent Younrster.

One boy has an allowance of twen-
ty-five cents a week, ostensibly for
spending money, but really to enable
his parents to impose pecuniary
penalties on him. He is required to
replace from his own purse the hats
and shoes and neckties lost, the fur
niture destroyed, etc. ;>he is also fined
five cents for every morning he comes
to breakfast more than SO many
minutes late. But how much effect
has all this9 He is as Indifferent to
money as if he were a bird of the air
The only result of the system is to
keep his mother busy with an ac
count book in which the balance of
debt against him increases with
every month; for he had hardly be
gun to have regular allowance he
fore his needless and destructive pro
pensities drained his pocket Of every
cent, and then Tie charges rolled up
SO fast that the income could not p1c,
tend to keep pace with them. Bal,y

wild Dogs In the North.

In the Lake of the Woods country,
which may be described as wilder
ness of forest, rock and brushwood,
race of wild dogs have established
themselves and are increasing In
numbers SO rapidly that fears are en-
tertained that the animals will yet
become troublesome. When the
Canadian Pacific railway was under
construction the camps of the work
men had of course to be frequently
moved, and dogs were often left be-
hind, and eventually, like wolves
and foxes, found means Of sustaining
themselves.
The animals are large lean, short
haired and generally red or red and
white in color. They are exceeding
ly wild and fly on the first approach
of man. In winter they live by
catching rabbits that abound in the
wilderness of brushwood; in summer
the wild dogs catch fish that crowd
the smaller streams that connect in
land lakes. The Indians detest the
wild dogs, as they pursue game and
fake the bait fs0m traps and are a
general nuisance. Sometimes wild
dog is taken in a trap that has been
set for other animals, but the beasts
are exceedingly cunning, swift and
watchful. Pilot Mound Sentinel.
