the Sub Treasury element in the Southern
Alliance will join the movement. The third
partyites adopted the Ocala platform. and
this element believes their political saliva
tion depends upon the success of the Sub
Treasury land-loan scheme. The move
Gratis in several Southern States, notably in
North Carolina, Alabama and Louisiana.
A fusion of this element with the Republi-
cans would seriously imperi Democratic
success. The Republican managers recog-
nize the waning fortunes of their party in
the Northwest growing out of this move
ment, and will eagerly embrace any fusion
in the South as an offset. Our committee

the same This is ali the Attorney General
desired. He had no animosity toward the
company and did not desire to deprive IT ot
corporate rights as enjoyed by others. but
OF its trust agreements which are contrary
TO law. Under the decision the company
will be allowed to continue corporate DOW
ers. The decision of the Supreme Court
sustains the Attorney-Generaps demurrer
TO the answer of the Standard. which sets
up the defense that a trust agreement was
entered into by individuals and not by
company as a corporation holding fran
chise. While the decision does not oust the
company from its franchise it prohibits ii
from in any way continuing TO carry cut or
fulfill any provisions or agreements under
trust contracts. The Attorney General of
New \ ork has papers ready to file against
tie Standard in that State prepared in con-
temptation of this decision.

during which there was long discussion Of
the charge that the Catholic church E,ain-

the appropriations in behalf of Indian sec.

reHglous discussion was the section making
the appropriation for the Carlisle Indian

that the $1,000 appropriation he annually
receives as Superintendent of the Carlisle
Indian School be stricken from the blk. He
had many valiant defenders in the House,
however, and it was more his reiterated
declaration by telegraph to-day than the

THE SEALING DECISION.

Comments of the English Press on the Re-
suits of the Sayward Case.
LONDON. March 1.-The Standard this
morning, referring to the decision OF the
United States Supreme Court in the Say
ward Bering Sea case, says: This decision
leaves the diplomatic situation precisely
where it was before. There is no reason to
assume the Judges considered international
equities. The failure TO procure judicial
announcement on the validity of the pre-
tension set up by the Washington authori-
ties will rather facilitate than prejudice a
full and smicable settlement by the arbi-
traitors.
Tie St. James Gazette says: 1t is idle to
pretend that imperial rights are prejudiced
by the decision. This is merely municipal!
matter between superior and inferior tri-
bunals Of the United States.
The Globe says: Probably the Judges are
not sorry TO get rid of the whole matter by
the help of the point of procedure. IL still
remains for the United States 10 show that
Bering Sea is exempt from the operations

THE POPE'S ADDRESS.
Remarks Made at an Audience to the College

Remarks Made at an Audience to the College
Of Cardinals at the Vatican.
ROME, March 1.-The Pope to-day gave a
solemn audience in the throneroom Of the
Vatican to all members OF the College Of
Cardinals present in Rome.
In his speech the Pope referred to the two
guiding principles of Pope Innocent III,
the redemption Of holy places aud
the Independence of the church.
To at ain these two things his
Holiness declared he would die. The
changes in public opinion have rendered
the POpe's achieving these more difficult
than at the period of Innocent III.
The dominant influence then was faith.
But such was not the case
to-day, and this emboldened the enemies of
the church and papscy to try to eXlinguish
even the name of Christian. Such cond-
tons afforded good ground for a de-
Sire to return, not TO the senSuOus
civilization and defective institutions of the
middle ages. but to the robust faith rooted
in the conscience of the people.
