residents Of the town, received q bullet
hole through his breast, and another
man named Patsy was shot through

South Dakota Railroads.

For some days past there have
been rumors in circulation that the
Burlington & Missouri company has
completed u deal with Dakota Il Wy.
omlng, the road now building west
ward from Rapid City, to the coal
fields OF Wyoming.
Its now announced upon apparently
good authority that the Burlington 4
Missouri has purchased a two.thirds
interest in the line from Rapid City to
Mystic, the point OF junction upon its
Hills line, paying therefor the sum
of $25O,OOO. 1t is also said that the
Burlington & Missouri will take pos.
session OF and build the line of the
Rapid City, Missouri River & ST. Paul,
now surveyed and partially graded
by local company between Rapid
City and Pierre.
Several circumstances give proba-
blllty to these reports. MIR. Coad and
Contractor Crouch, OF the D. & W., are
now in Chicago, as is Mayor Woods,
who is authorized to act for the B. @.
& NJ, the last named road. This az
rangemenr is, moreover, in line with
the announced plan OF the B. e. NJ. and
Northern Pacific to conclude traffic
arrangement, as the D. & w. and r..
c. Sc. P, will give these roads line
from Pierre to Wyoming, connecting
at Pierre with the Northern Paciic's
line from Cakes through Aberdeen to
the capital. Ii the arrangement proves
fact and the lines are constructed,
the result will be full OF prosperousim
port Tor Minneapolis and St. Paul, as
we'll as for Sou'h Dakota, as it will
open to them q VIRGIN trade territory
already important and destined to
steadily increase.

Diplomatic Fencing.

At the conclusion OF the executive
session OF the senate on the cath, the
correspondence received from the
president relative to Bering sea was
made public. 1t comprises two com.
munications. The first is from Sir
Julian Pauncelote to Mr.. Wharton,
dated at Washington, March 10, and
is US follows:
On the receipt of your nose OF the
Sth inst Immediately telegraphed
to marquis OF Salisbury thesubstance
Of its contents III accordance with the
request which you expressed on be-
halt OF the president, and have now
the honor to INFORM you that | have
this day received a reply from his
lordship by telegram to the following
effect: Lord Salisbury again points
out that the information il the pos
session Of her maiesty's government
does not lead them to believe that an
other years suspension OF sealing is
necessary to prevent an undue dinlin.

ship, however, proceeds to observe
that beyond this question it ie con-
sldered by your government that they
have a right to be protected from the
loss which they may incur from
free sealing being permitted this year,
IN the event OF their claims to
Behring sea being upheld by
the arbitrators. He states that
her majesty's government does not
dispute that after the ratification OF
the convention there will be come
foundation for this contention, but
he adds that the prohibition of all
sealing rs a remedy for this defect,
that the British sealers excluded from
Behring sea would have an undoubted
GROUND of complaint if the British
claims should be upheld by the arbi.
traitors. Moreover, there is no secur-
ity that the arbitration will be con.
cluded before the sealing season OF
1898 Thus an arbitration between
Great Britain, the United States and
Portugal, which has already occupied
four years, is still pending. Serious
damage would be caused to the in.
dustry by a suspension OF sealing for
q long period. In view of ell the
considerations it appears to her m ii.
esty's government that it would be
more equitable to provide that seal.
ing in Behring sea shall continue on
the condition that the owner Of every
sealing vessel shall give security fol
satisfying any damages which the
arbitrators may adjudge. Isball b.
glad to learn that the above sugges
lions meet with che concurrence Of

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
Illustrating the Wide Gulf Between a
Mayor and All Editor.

DoN'T WANT ANY.--We see by the
Tucson and Tombstone papers that
the people OF those towns are getting
ready to float q spring boom. We
don't want anything OF the sort here
We just want to see this town held
level and let her take natural gait.
Booms make fictitious values and
help only few, while Il slow and
steady growth benefits every body. We
haven't done much bragglngin the last
year, but If there is any other town
III the state which has opened nine
teen new saloons, put up Two school
houses, started seven new poker clubs
and planted seven bad, bad men in
sandy soil, we should like to hear it
called by name.
Major johnson, who owns eighteen
acres OF sand prairie, Oh which moth.
ing but cactus aud rattlesnakes will
grow, is aching TO start % boom and
work his real estate off on eastern
tsndertoot, who wants to go into figs
and oranges. He thinks he could get
$25, 900 in cash for what cost him q
twenty dollar mule. But the KICKER
will sit right down on any boom he
may set ahoat. This town is doing
we'll enough as it is, and it ls wise to
let well enough alone.
P. 6.-Since the above was in type
we have been informed that the num-
Der OF new saloons is twenty. nine IN.
stead OF nineteen-a gain OF ten. We
shouldn't be surprised If it turned out
the same way with the poker clubs.

cannot now be heard or

Der that while he now offers what he
calls security for satisfying any dam

point in the treaty that the arbitra-
tors shall have no Jurisdiction to

ships suggestion that Canadian sealers

ton if Great Britain shall restrain pc.
lagic sealing, the president directs me
to say that hels notable to see how the
citizens or subjects OF either of the
treaty powers can, by any rule of law
or equity support any claim against
their respective governments growing
out of such necessary trade restraints
rs the government may lawfully i'm
pose to promote the larger conditions
OF the public good and international
peace. The suggestion that the con.
clusions of the board OF arbitration
may not be reached and announced In
time to govern the conduct OF the par
ties during the season OF 1898 is, the
president thinks, fully provided
against
By The TREATY ITSELF.
His lordship is mistaken as to the
time that has elapsed since the signing
of the Delagoa bay agreement with
Portugal. 1t is not four years old,
but less than one, the date OF signing
being June 13, 1891. If the present
treaty is promptly ratified and ex.
changed our mutual interest would be
an absolute guarantee against delay
The president has found no obstacle
in the way OF such a contamination
except the penef now unfortunately
PREVALENT here that the refusal OF
Great Britain to agree to the preserva
ton OF thestatus quo OF the property
during the arbitration, and her in.
sistence that pelagic sealing shall go
on to the injury if not destruction OF
our rights, largely defeats the objects
OF the treaty.
The president directs me to say, in
conclusion, that the modus OF last
year is the least that this government
can accept. In reason, therestra,nts,
after treaty OF arbitration, should
be more absolute, not less. He does
not desire to protract this discussion
and having now in the most friendly
spirit submitted the considerations
which support the just demand ofthis
government-that the property which
is the subject to spollation during
the arbltratlon-he expresses the hope
that Lord Salisbury will give q prompt
and friendly assent to renew the
mo'lus. The president will hear with
regret that her majesty's government
continues to assert q right to deal
with this subject precisely as if no
arrangement had been MADE for the
settlement OF the dispute. In that
event this government, shad already
been pointed out, will be compelled to
deal with the subject upon the same
basis, and to use every means in its
power to protect from destruction or
serious injury property and jurisdic
tional rights which it has long claimed
and enjoyed.
The president transmitted the CORE.
spondence without comment.

A CRISIS NEAR.
Bcring Sea Affairs Reach q De-
cldealy Interesting and
AGATE Stage.
Trouble Seems Inevitable Unless
Lord Salisbury Changes
His Tune.
British War Ships Ordered tc
Proceed in the Direction of
Bering Sea.

That the Behring sea crisis is near
at hand no one now doubts. Coinci-
dent with the news from London that
the British warsnips are moving to
the North Pacific to care for the Can.
adam poachers, the latest chapter OF
the diplomatic correspondence is made
public. That shows that President
Harrison's administration has taken
even q 6rmer stand than former re.
ports indicated; and this stand has
not been taken without sufficient pre-.
paration for maintaining it.
AS the president states, the self
respect and the dignity OF this coun.
try will be maintained. Should g.
naval collision result from Il quarrel
over @ Sill ole season catch of seal the
responsib My will be on Great Britain.
Conservative members OF the admin
lstration and senators think this de-
plorable result will not be reached,
because Lord Salisbury will vet see
his mistake and agree to q renewal OF
the modus vivendi. Ii he fails to do
so collision seems inevitable.
Congress to q man will back up the
president in his declared intention to
exhaust every available resource to
maintain the rights claimed by the
country pending arbitration. In both
administration and senatorial circles
the talk is OF the most conservative
kind. There Is determined effort to
prevent irritation growing out OF any
thing that may be SAID, but ut the
same time the feeling is one of greater
uncertainty than any one cares to
confess. The publication OF the cab-
les from London. which seem to re
fleet British sentiment, are looked on
as
OPEN INCENTIVES TO TROUBLE.
Dragging about the warshlps may
fire the British heart in the Torles'
favor and not much might come OF it,;
but ii, as reported, Lord Salisbury's
course is dictated by what he believes
to be American sentiment, and ii he is
acting on the advice OF Sir Charles
Upper, the probability is that be will
persist in his policy.
1t Is almost lncOncelvabie to public
men that the English premier could be
made to believe that the American
people look upon thecontention OF the
United States as IN the lnterest of afur
seal monopoly, and Motor the purpose
ofuphoiding historical national rights;
yet, ii he has received the impression,
they see how it is possible tor him to
go ahead on his present lines. The
position OF the United States is SO
clearly defined in the presidents last
note, which Acting Secretary Wharton
delivered to Sir Julian Paupcefote on
the 22d, that there is little call for
further diplomatic correspondence.
When he says that the least the United
States can do is to Insist on the re.
newal OF the modus vivendi, he rests
the case, and the future development
must rest with Great Britain.
