BEhRrNG SEA QUESTION.
Salisbury Opposed to Renewing t
ModuS ViVendi.

Salisbury Opposed to Renewing the
ModuS Vivendi.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The fact was
developed to-day that the authorities had
received notice that Lord Salisbury was
unwilling, while the arbitration proceed
ings i'll the Behring Sea dispute were
pending, to renew the modWs 0iUend5 of
last year. He is said to be willing, how
ever, 60 take the necessary steps for put
ting stop during the approaching season
to the miscellaneous deep-sea seal-fisning
within thirty miles of the Pribylotf
Islands.
1t is impossible to learn at the State De-
partment the precise nature 81 the sub
stitute proposed by Lord Salisbury.
1t Is probable that this information.
just received from London, has caused
President Harrison to shorten his stay at
Virginia Beach, and he will return to
Washington Saturday, instead of Mon
day, as he contemplated.
1t is likely that the treaty of arbitra-
ton will be submitted to the Senate early
next week, possibly Monday.
The course Of negotiations now in pro-
gress between the United States and
Great Britain touching the seal fisheries
in Behring Sea is being closely watched
by members of the committees of the
Senate and House. The report from
JIOuIOil W JDG cllcCG JldG 14Ocu SALISBURY
refused to renew the DtOduS UiUe1Idi was
received with dissatisfaction 1t is real
lied that the arbitration provided for in
the treaty about to be submitted to the
Senate cannot be completed in time to
avail for the protection of the seal waters,
and the counter proposition made by
Lord Salisbury looking to the establish
ment Of "a protected belt extending only
thirty miles from the shores of the Priby-
LOFT Islands is looked upon as being en-
tirely inadequate to meet the case.
Members of the Congressional Commit
tee do not disguise their belief in private
that unless the British Government
shows disposition to join in the work OF
protecting the waters of Behring Sea from
poachers during the progress of arbitra-
ton the United States Government must
undertake the task and execute the law,
which has not been repealed, requiring il
TO protect the seal fisheries. If this course
is followed the situation will assume a
phase very similar to that preceding the
adoption of the H9odttS UfoeRdt last year,
and the Government resume the policy
of the seizure of offending vessels, which
may lead to energetic protests and per-
haps retaliatofy action by Great Britain

LIQUID Grating Wax.

Professor ]. d. Budd recommends the
following recipe for liquid grating wax,
and states that it is the same as used in
German and Russian schools of horticult-
IRE and forestry One pound of best white
rosin and one pound beef tallow melted
very slowly SO as not TO harden. When
melted take the dish from the stove and
add slowly, whilst stirring, one table
spoonful spirits of turpentine. Then
slowly add alcohol. while stirring, until
the mass has a thin, molasses-like con-
sistency. In this form it is useful for
painting over wounds of trees caused by
pruning, breaking or other injury; and it
is also an excellent wax for use in wax
ing collar gratis of the cherry, plum and
pear. When the alcohol has evaporated
too much from exposure to the air place
the dish in hot water and add alcohol as
before. This wax may also be used with
perfect success in outdoor grating of the
cherry and plum, by keeping the dish
over lamp in lantern-like tin box, and
wrapping white rag over the wax while
it is still soft to prevent its possible melt
ing or cracking.

Trouble Likely to Ensue Over Revival
Meetings in Corning.
Dies MONIES, March "A late report
received at the Register office states that a
revival under the auspices of Free Meth
odists has been going on in Corning for
some time. The town is thoroughly ex-
cited, and the rougher and free thinking
elements have opposed the revival,
threatening the leaders with mob vio-
lence. The account tells of the effect they
were having on the people, some ofwhom
have shown symptoms of religious in
sanity.
The revivalists declare it the work OF
God, and have kept up the meetings.
The roughs have surrounded the church,
and attempted to break up the services.
This afternoon just as the Governor was
leaving Des Moines, he was appealed to
by local minister who asked him to or
der out the militia. The Governor tele-
graphed for further Information, receiv-
ing reply that the authorities and Sher-
If did not desire the assistance of the
militia. Consequently nothing has been
done.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The resoIu-
ton fixing the time for the consideration
OF the silver bill is a matter of great inter-
est to both sides of the controversy, and
considerable quiet work is being done by
the two parties on the Democratic side in
reference to it. The anti-silver Demo-
crats are laboring earnestly to impress
the more conservative of the free coinage
men with the importance from party
standpoint to so amend the resolution as
10 secure poStponement until the De-
cember session, and they hope to secure
the necessary assistance to accomplish
this purpose. The indications are. how
ever, that this movement will not be sue
cessful, particularly as the Republicans
are not disposed to lend their aid to the
movement. The free coinage men are
confident that they will be able to pass
the resolution and secure vote upon the
expiration OF the time fixed for debate
The anti silver Democrats talk about fill
clustering against the passage of the reso-
luton, but such movement will hardly
receive the support of those Democrats
VINO favor poStponement.
The Republicans seem determined to
leave their political opponents free to
hight the battle oct among themselves,
and TO force them to make declaration
upon the question of free silver, believ-
ing that no matter what their decision
may be the result will be damaging to
them in the Presidential campaign.
AT this time the advantage appears to
be with the free-cOinage men, and the be-
lief is growing that they will succeed in
passing their measure
Senator Jones of Nevada is confident
the bill will be passed in both Houses at
the present session. He believes there is
nothing substantial in the prevailing talk
about radical changes i'll sentiment and
purposes on the part of members of Con-
gress on the silver question. On the con
trary, he says that it is not at all probable
that any material change will be notice
able when the vote shall be taken upon
the direct question of the free coinage of
silver. I'VE may" added Senator Jones,
lose few votes in either House, but
we can afford to lose a few votes, and vet
have good working majority for our bill.
have no fear of any serious losses in
either House. The members will not dare
to go back upon the sentiment and will of
the people who sent them here as their
representatives. We Will pass the free
coinage bill, and give the President a
chance to veto it if he shall see tit to ex-
erclse the veto power"

Judaism and Christianity.

Over the signature "Josephus'' we find
the following i'll the January Ce7sturY:
Deep in the heart of Judaism is en-
shrined q sacred, an immortal word
duty-which makes of man moral being
and links him to the moral source of the
universe. Deep in the heart of Christian
ity is enshrined sacred and immortal
word-love-wh makes man a
spiritual being and links him to
the divine source of all life. Humanity
needs both these words in order to be-
come the perfect creation it was meant TO
be. The one gives the conscience, the
other the heart of mankind; the one is
the masculine, the other the feminine ele-
ment of the world. Judaism gives the
Ten Commandments, and Christianity
the Beatitudes. But only the two to-
gether can yield the perfect ideal-the
love that is simply the highest duty, and
duty that is lost in love. And, iii order
TO come into this closer, higher union,
into the faith which makes humanity
whole, and not thing of parts. and the
truth which makes men free, fixed and
formal codes must disappear; the outer
framework of history and theology must
fall away, and spirit be left free to seek
spirit. Then, and then only, will life
have its whole meaning, as part Of
larger life whose beginning and end are
hidden from mortal vision. Religion
will have its full sway, and yet there will
be none who prosecute, and none who
are prosecuted, for the earth shall be full
OF the knowledge of the Lord, as the
waters cover the sea-

RECENT ROBBERIES.
Several of Them Traced to Ex-Convict
John Cole.
The Ringleader. of Plundering Gang,
Who Once Robbed His Sister
''Hobo jacks and His ''Fence.''

Reference was made few DAYS since to
the arrest Of young man named John
Cole for the burglary of Silva's store, at
Second and Q streets, on Saturday night
last. Officers Gibson and Mclaughlin,
who made the arrest, have since been
working up the case, with the assistance
of Captain Lee, and have procured suf1i-
cient evidence, they think, to return Cole
to the State Prison, whence he graduated
little over year ago. He was sent for
one year from this county for burglariZ-
ing the house of his sister.
Ever since his return to the city this
fellow has been engaged i'll robbing
stores, barns, ETC., but had managed to
escape detection until his arrest this week
for the Silva robbery.
A few nights before his arrest he beat
and robbed an old man named Patrick
Gale, whom he met on Front street while
the latter was drunk He has. it is said.
frequently robbed Silva, but made his
heaviest haul there on Saturday night
last, when he secured all the plumber he
could lug away, assisted by a boy whom
he persuaded into engaging in the raid.
Two weeks ago last Saturday night
Cole and some companions robbed the

stole several brides, whips and halters,
and few nights prior thereto they stole

= and q streets. Castro's hired man
heard them and they turned on him and
beat him terribly.
The officers came to the conclusion that
there mus be fence" somewhere in
the neighborhood of all these robberies-
some person to whom the stolen goods
were sold, and they finally located it.
eSterday, armed with search war
rant, Officers Gibson and Mclaughlin
visited the premises of one Jack Hudson,
or Hobo jack" as he is generally
known, accompanied by one of Mr..
Stephenson's teamsters. There thew found
one of the stolen brides referred to- a
harness stolen from ex-City Trustee
Ryan, besides variety of stuff that was
probably plundered by some one. Hobo
Jack" was arrested, and charged with
knowingly receiving stolen goods, He
had only SO in his pockets, and had TO
send home for $50 more to complete the
bail deposit required. 1t looks as if he
has been prospecting, to say the least.
The officers say they have clear case
against Hudson, and that they will be
able to prove that nearly all the property
stolen by Cole and others, from time TO
time, has been sold to him. II half what
they claim to know be true. and can be
proven, Cole is not the only one con-
cerned who is likely to do time" in the
penitentiary.

CHICAGO, March 4.-Who drew up the
forged Will is tonight the first question
in Jekyll-Hyde case that is puzzling all
Chicago. But for the alleged discovery
of the private papers of the rich woman
he is charged with having murdered, he
might never have been suspected of the
crime. A forged will is in possession of
Attorney Tolman, representing the dead
woman's husband and sister. The cir
cumstances under which Scudder had il
drawn, if he did, will likely go far to
prove or disprove his sanity and guilt. 1t
seemingly was prepared by lawyer, and
the question of the attorneys identity
and possible completely is being carefully
put toward a solution.
1t is said that an expert to whom the
two wills were submitted before DIR.
Scudder's arrest, and who knew nothing
of the circumstances III the case, decided
without hesitation that the two docu-
ments were not signed by the same per-
son, one signature showing a Iremor in
cident to old age or teebleness, and the
other firmly written with forced attempts
at irregularity of outline.
The case of DR.. Scudder was called for
inquiry to-day and the examination con-
corning his sanity was postponed for one
week.
a reporter who interviewed Scudder
had the impression that he is shamming
insanity. Scudder denied that he killed
Mrs. Dunton.
DR.. Lyman, an insanity expert, how
| ever, believes that Scudder is insane.

FLEEr-FooTED ARIoN.
He VIII Not be Trotted In Public This
Season.


NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Turf, Field
and Farm says: The report is calculated
by a few journals that arrangements had
been made to send Arion to Louisville to
be trained and trotted in public seems to
be without foundation. In a letter to us,
j. Malcolm Forbes says: 81 have not yet
made any plans for Arion to be trotted."
The same paper, describing recent visit
to Forbes farm, says that the quarters
allotted to AriOn are separated from the
others. The stallion has large and we'll
lighted and ventilated box and attendants
carefully guard him from every draught.
When he was stripped Tuesday for in
spection it was observed he wore under
the outer covering torn and faded blan-
ket. Forbes asked the visitor to appraise
it, and the value was fixed az twenty-five
cents. This blanket is the remnant of
the California outfit. Arion will proba-
bly, grow to 1872 hands. He is doing well
since the arrival at Forbes farm and
takes kindly to his new quarters. We
doubt very much if he will be seen in
public harness this season. Ten outside
mares have been booked to him at 81, 800
each, and Forbes will breed six of his
own mares 10 him.
