The President Sends in a Message On
the Subject.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The
presidents message, transmitting Lord
Salisbury's reply to the last note from
this government relative to the modus
viveudi, was laid before the senate in
executive sest Jon at IL o'clock. Lord
Salisbury's reply, as already stated,
is virtual. reiteration. of his disin-
clination to renew the modus vivendi
on the same terms as existed last year.
After half an hours discussion. the
correspondence was referred to the
committee Oh foreign relations and the
doors were reopened. The CORE
spondence was not made public.
The president in his letter announces
that he made q rejoinder to Lord
Salisbury's reply.
Lord Salisbury's note may be de-
scribed as synopsis Of the detailed
report of the state department note
which is to follow by mail. His re-
fusal to consent to the renewal of the
modus vivehdi is accompanied with
several counter propositions, the read
ing Of which was received with i'll
suppressed irritation by the senate.
The general character of the note is
described as evasive and equivocating.
The presidents rejoinder was also
transmitted to the senate. It is a
pungent communication in which the
president broadly but in diplomatic
language hints that Lord Salisbury
has not made his overtures in = a
straightforward, businesslike manner.
The president insists upon a renewal
Of last seasons terms and closes his
note with the stirring assertion that
if Great Britain declines to assist in
the protection Of the seals during the
arbitration of the claims of the United
States, he will proceed to enforce the
laws and exclude poachers from
Behring sea if the military force of
the United States is required TO &C.
complish it. The note created SEN
sation in the senate. d.. -, -
The gravity Of the case has led to a
renewal Of the strongest efforts of the
senators to prevent the public being
made acquainted with the facts until
the correspondence has progressed
further. There was no expression Of
opinion by the president in his letter
of transmittal, but this.was not needed
in view of the clearly defined position
assumed by him in his rejoinder to
Lord Salisbury, which appeared to
meet with the unanimous approval of.
the senators, although the debate
itself was too short to disclose officially
the standing Of the senators.
Although there has been nothing
in the nature Of a direct vote upon
the treaty of arbitration, and there is
a we'll defined opposition to it as
surrender by the United States Of. her
rights as acquired by treaty from
Russia, it can be stated that the treaty
will soon be ratified by the senate.
But a resolution will accompany it,
reciting that there does not appear to
be any sufficient reason for the abate-
ment by the United States Of its
claims to Jurisdiction pending arbi-
tration, and authorizing the president
to use all the force Of the military
arm Of the government to insure the
protection Of the rights Of the United
States. 5...5

SAILING INTO THE SKY.
Balloon Ascension and Parachute Jump
at Leschi Park q Success.

The balloon ascension and parachute
jump of Miss Hazel keyes and her per-
forming monkey, Jennie Yam Yam, drew
thousands of people to Leschi park yester-
day afternoon.
The air was calm and the clouds were
high, making no threat of rain when the
balloon shot upward from the west side of
the deer park. The park, the verandas of
the Casino, the tresties and the neighbor
ing hills were all crowded with spectators
who followed the ascending balloon with
their eyes until the effort of gazing be-
came painful. When they had reached a
height OF 5000 feet Miss Keyes and her
monkey prepared for the leap with their
parachutes. Miss Reyes cut the monkey
loose and he sailed earthward as his para
chute opened and buoyed him up. Then
she cut herself loose. spread her parachute
and came down, first appearing like a
understanding speck, then growing
larger and larger and appearing to move
faster and faster until as she neared the
earth, she was shooting downward. But
Officer Stepler was at hand with out
stretched arms and grasped her tenderly
but firmly, breaking her fall.
Miss keyes came down close to the band
whence she assembled. The monkey fell In
the lake short distance from shore and
was landed unframed.
The feat will be repeated by the same
performers next Sunday afternoon and
Jennie Van Van Will be on exhibition at
the Zoo" all week.

A fight among negroes occurred IN the

and as soon as the negroes received their
wages dozen or more of them went 10
the saloon and started game of craps.
The game ran on until about midnight,
when Armstrong, who had lost all he had
except % cents. placed that amount on the
table. Britain and Morton were playing in
the same game and ii was Brittain's turn
to throw. Armstrong lost his money and
Immediately accused Britain of monkey

moment the shot was fred he thew up his
hands, the bloody razor dropped from his,
grasp and he fell on the PROSTATE form of
Britain, who lay bleeding from many
deep wounds.
Morton allowed the constable at the mines
to arrest him and went 10 Jail without
showing fight. Armstrong was Laid out"
in the back part of shack near by and
Britain was carried to his home and at
tended by DIR. J. J. Smith, the company's
physician.
Within half an hour the blood had been
cleaned away from the saloon and another
crap game was in full blast.
Sheriff Woolery was notified yesterday
that the murderer was in jail and that it
would not be necessary for him to send
deputy to Franklin. Coroner Horton will
probably leave for Franklin today.

THE ELEPHANTS TAKE A SWIM.
Two Juveniles and Old Mary Battle,
Seen by Thousands.

Seen by Thousands.
The elephants of John Robinson's show
had jolly good swim in Lake Washing
ton yesterday afternoon, to the delectation
not only of themselves but of thousands
of spectators. There are three OF them,
Mary, Babe and Cincinnati. called Gin"
by his keeper. The most interesting figure
of the three is Mary, who is the oldest
elephant now in captivity, it being mat
ter of record that she is at least 160 years
of age. Ever since 1894 she has been with
the same show, being one of the earliest at
fractions ever put on the road by John
Robinson. She was the first elephant to
cross the Allegheny river, the first to cross
the Ohio and the first over the big bridge
that spans the Mississippi at st. Louis.
She was the first elephant to enter the
state of Montana.
Old age has made Mary so weak in the
legs that it would have been impossible to
have walked her up and down the long
hills that lie between the Sound and the
lake. So at Sixth she was led up gang
plank onto an open freight cable car and
thus carried TO the lake. Her two COM
panions had started on ahead, and when
they were overtaken and recognized Mary
in her unusual position they increased
their gait in order to keep up with the car
The trip was made without further incl
dent, and the strange piece of freight safely

party of small boys could not have
been more delighted in the water than
were the elephants when they were led to
the water. They rolled about and splashed
and sprayed their backs with water from
their trunks, seemingly in high glee. All
three of the animals We're taken into the
water and stayed in about half an hour.
Again at 5 o'clock the two young ones
were given another bath, old Mary being
kept out on account of her infirmities.
