Senate Breaksthe Record for Rapid Ae.
ton on Treaties.


ton on Treaties.
WASHINGTON, April l9,-The senate
committee on foreign relations this after.
noon reported favorably the modus vivendi
convention with Great Britain The
treaty was discussed less than two hours
and ratified with substantial unanimity.
The convention comprises seven
articles, the first four precisely
similar in language to last years modus,
with the exception of change in article
| Of the words until May next, y "dur.
ing the pendenCy of the arbitration
Briefly stated the articles prohibit Great
Britain and the United States from seal
killing in Behring Sea and on the seal
islands (some 800 seals to be taken on
the islands by the United States for the
subsistence Of the native-) during the ar
bitration; provides for the seizure of of
Tending vessels, and permits the residence
Of British agents on the islands during
the sealing season.
Articles FIVE and six are new, and ar
tice FIVE provides that in the event of a
decision of the arbitrators adverse to the
United States, compensation will be paid
upon the basis Of such regulated or limit
ed catches as In the opinion of the arbi-
traitors might have been taken without
undue diminution of the seal herd. On
the other hand Great Britain is to com.
pensate the United States upon
the basis of the difference between
z 500 seals and such larger catch as might
have been taken in the opinion of the
arbitrators The amount awarded, if any,
in either case, shall be such as under all
circumstances is just and equitable and
shall be promptly paid.
Article provides that agreement on the
modus may terminate at any time after
October 3lst, 1898, on two months notice.
The seventh, and last, article simply pro.
vides for an exchange Of notifications as
early as possible. The treaty is signed by
Blaine and Pauncefote, and dated yester-
day, so the senate has probably broken the
record for speedy action upon treaties.

The Former Violations Give No
Additional Members to the
Pa -ty in Power.

The impudeut assertion of the demo-
cratic organs that the democrats had
simply followed republican precedent IN
the perrymander business has been
shown to be false, again and again. In
the present emergency, when the SUI
preme court, majority Of the justices
being democrats, has branded the dem
ocratc legislature as lawess, unjust, un.
democratic and destructible OF the first
principle on which American institutions
are founded, the organs ana men most
base in their blind surrender to party
spirit. endeayor TO shield their party
from the deserved contempt OF honor
able men and patriots, by affirming that
"the decision OF the supreme court is
hat the democratic legislature erred ia
following republican precedents AS
held from the beginning, as affirmed Z
the decision OF the supreme court, q
known TO every man who bias sense
enough TO serve the people fairly as a
legislator, the preservation Of county
lines should be the supreme considera-
ton in the apportionment.
Let US take the last assembly appcr-
tionment of the republicans, whose pre-
cedent the democrats claimed 10 have
followed A county line is broken just
four times So here is the republican
record in the last assembly apporton-
ment:

cite.

Now here is how the democratic legis
lature followed that precedent:
l. Adams and Waushara and part OF
Winnebago.

3. Jackson and part Of TermpeaIeau.
4 Part Of Rock and part of Wal

OF course the principle is the same in
each case, whether the motive was the
same or not. But even In its statutory
laws. society recognizes difference be-
tween one oiTeuse and fifteen otlenses
And when we come to the motives there
is a very great difference, The breaks
through a county line by the republicans
did not give them one member OF the
assembly that they could not have 10y
preserving the county line. One addi-
tional assemblyman would not have been
of any importance to them But the
democratic breaks through county lines
we're intended e. give the assembly ma
jorty 70 them, with the aim OF eectlug
democrat to succeed senator Sawyer.

A serious Runaway.

While returning home from socia-
BILE at the residence of Mr.. p. j.
Lynch, near Mt. Pleasant last Friday
evening, Mr.. John Rothwell and sis
ter, Miss Mamie Rothwell, met with q
serious accident, by the horse running
away and throwing them out in the
road. The accident was caused, it is
supposed, by the breaking Of the
shaft clip, thus frightening the horse,
and causing it to run. Both Mr.. and
Miss Rothwell were thrown out and
received severe cuts and bruises on
their faces and other parts OF their
person. The horse was discovered
near town, and was badly injured on
the right hind leg, by a part Of the
shaft striking it as it ran, and was
very weak from loss of blood. A
physician was at once summoned.
but the injuries were of such nature
that it could not possibly recover its
and to end its pain, it was
killed the following day.
The carriage was complete wreck
and parts OF it were found for over
two miles along the road. The un-
fortunate occupants of the vehicle
have entirely recovered from their
injuries. The horse was a valuable
one and the loss on it and the carriage
will amount to $500.

Taylor was Guilty.

The articles that have appeared the
past few days in the Wilmington and
Philadelphia papers to the effect that
the negro, Taylor, who was lynched
at Chestertown, Md, last week was
not guilty, are utterly untrue. The
Chestertown " Transcript " speaks as
follows: "we have never heard from
any source in the country that the
negro is thought to have been inno-
cent. Upon the contrary, every one,
both white and colored, who is con-
versant with the facts, believe Taylor
committed the crime. His victim Is
positive in her statements, and there
can be no doubt about it. The par
ties who are sending such reports to
these papers is believed to be some
malicious person who desires to cause
strife between the races, and the
sooner it is stopped the better. States
Attorney VIM. M. Slay, Esq, has tele-
graphed to these papers to the above
effect, and other steps will be taken
