Turn Them Back at Once.

Secretary Charles Foster says that he
received ON Saturday last the following
message from the president of the United
States:
1t is an outrage that the steamship
companies continue to bring immigrants
from infected ports. Say TO them that
it should stop or it is certain that every
ship will bring the disease and we may
be compelled to turn back such pest
laden vessels.
THE intent of which is excellent"
says the Chicago Post, "but the spirit is
q trifle weak. If it is an outrage that
the steamship companies continue to
bring immigrants from infected ports,
why be content with saying to them TO
stop and intimsting that we may be COM
PEELED to turn back such pest laden vesN
sells. Hang intimations, warnings,
threats! Turn back the pest boats now,
before it is too late"
For that matter they should have been
turned back two weeks ago. and then the
ships now fighting to land the plague
stricken on our shores, would not have
come on deliberately burying the
victims of the pest by the score all
the way over, and bringing the living
victims on to threaten the health of the
nations.

Judp. Gresham. Position.

The Philadelphia Times, discussing
the attitude of Judge Gresham in the
present campaign, says:
Considering the known relations be
tween Harrison and Gresham. the ten
dency to revolt against Harrison IN some
active republican circles in Indiana. and
the refusal of the Judge to deny the
statement that he would support the
peoples ticket, it must be evident to all
dispassonate observers that he will not
favor Hsrrison's reelection.
It can no longer be regarded as mat
ter of doubt that Judge Gresham will be
heard from in a dignified and proper
manner before the Campaign progresses
much further, and that he will declare in
favor OF the peoples national ticket.
If he were to resign and take the stump
he would settle Indiana against Harrison
and unsettlc Illinois as republican state,
and his public declaration against Harri-
son would make it next to impossible for
Harrison to carry his own state, and
greatly add to the admitted obstacles to
republican success in Illinois.
There can be no doubt in the mind of
ANYBODY who knows Judge Gresham's
views upon the tariff and the force bill
that he will under no circumstances vote
for Harrison II is believed by his party
friends in Indiana that II he makes any
public declaration Of his intentions he
will come out squarely for Cleveland,
whom he personally admires and with
whose principles he is practically in &C
cord. But there is not q Gresham re-
publican in Indiana who believes that he

DEFINING FOUND GUILTY.

He Takes tho Verdict Cooliy-Story OF
Another Fscapade of His.
MELBOURNE, April ga verdict OF
wilful murder has been found in the
Deeming case.
Deeming shows the same characters
tics that have marked him since his ar
rest. The verdict does not seem to affect
him in the least, and he is in turn ~iocular
or insolent.
The more the man Is studied the deeper
becomes the belief OF many persons that
he Is utterly without conscience and
equally devoid OF fear. Those who have
studied him closely, however, think that
his conduct is mere bravado and that
when he finds the moose tightening about
his neck he will become an abject coward.

WARRINGTON, April s.-Secretary Blaine
said that an agreement had not yet been
finally concluded with the British gov
eminent in regard TO a modus vivendi in
Bshring Sea. He declined to say any
thing with regard to the condition of the
negotiation on that subject.
The departure of the President from
the city at this time, however, IL regard
ed a. significant In view OF a statement
attributed to him that he would not go
away until the question OF a modus vi
vendi had been settled one way or the
other. His departure, taken In commune
tion with the fact that he had a long con-
ference with the British minister yester-
day and one with Secretary Blaine i'm the
afternoon. gives more than a semblance
OF probability to the belief in certain
quarters that an agreement has practical
ly been reached by the President and the
British minister for a suspension of
pelagic sealing and that the basis Of
agreement has beer communicated to
Lord Salisbury for his action.

Minister Phelps and the German Secretary
Working ON nm Extrsdition Treaty.
BERLIN, April S.-Minister Phelps 10
making good progress with the new ex-
tradition treaty. The treaties now ex-
isting, made many years ago with the
different governments OF the then exist
ing "German Bund" contain many imper-
f~ections which have led In many instan-
ces to failures of justice.
The one point OF difference between
Minister Phelps and Baron Won Mar
schall, the German secretary of foreign
affairs, is on the question OF the provision
to be made for payment of expenses. The
American idea is that each country
should pay its own expenses. This 10 un-
satisfactory to Germany. The foreign
Office says IT has rarely recovered a crimi-
nal from America without paying at
least $500, and there have been cases
where thousands have been paid in coun-
sci fees.
The German officials think, therefore,
that this treaty should make some salts
factory provision for expenses.

BIRDS EVENLY MATCHED.

sports Have n Cooking Main.
HINGHAM, Mass, April S.-A cooking
main occurred in this town, of the old
turnpike, early yesterday morning, the
birds participating coming from South
Weymouth, Brockton and bingham.
The main was a very exciting and success
full one, as the birds were very evenly
matched both in weight n fighting
quatftics.
Four fights took place, the first be-
tween a four pound pyle Of the visitors
and bingham red, and was won by the
pyle in short order. The second event
was by birds Of the same color and was a
hot one, and was won by the bingham
bird, the Brockton one being saved only
by the expert handling of the trainers.
The third fight was an easy one for the
visitors, The fourth was FOL by a South
Weymouth bird after O severe tussle
against odds.
Over 800 changed hands on the events,
which was very quietly conducted and
one of the most successful which ever
took place on the South Shore.
