Ball on the PlaiSance.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, Aug. 16. =
The new policy of drawing on the het-
erogeneous population of the Midway
Plaisance and the chronological village
of Indians for special attractions, seems
to have taken the popular fancy. An
international ball and banquet has been
arranged for tonight on a big scale. 1t
is to be given in the natatorium and
Vienna cafe on the plaisance. Thepar-
ticipants will include every nationality
and tribe within the gates of the White
City. 1t promises to be like grand
masquerade ball without the masks
and will certainly be the first event of
such character ever had. Over 700
foreigners of both sexes and all colors
in their native dress will be on the ball
room floor. The director general has
been invited to lead the grand march
with an American woman and a depu-
tation will wait on him to urge an ao-
ceptance. The women from the beauty
show and American Indians will be in
front of the motley marching column.

No more striking commentary on the
causes of the present situation in this
country has been made anywhere than
is found in the following from Presi-
dent Cleveiand's message:
With plenteous crops, with abundant
promise Of remunerat;ve production and
manufacture, with unusual invitation to
safe investment and with satisfactory
business enterprise, suddenly financial
distrust and fear have sprung up on
every side to an extent that values,
supposed to be fixed, are fast becoming
conjectural, and loss and failure have
invaded every branch of business.
MIR. Cleveland says fear and distrust
have suddenly" sprung up, while the
Democratic editors have been arguing
right along that the present stringency
is the natural and gradual outgrowth
of pernicious Republican legislation.
There's discrepancy somewhere and
we leave it for our Democratic friends
to adjust it.

In his message to congress in 1851 at
the close of free trade era, President
Cleveland S last Democratic predecessor
said:
The earth has yielded her fruits
abundantly, our great staples command
high prices, and up till within a brief
period our mineral, manufacturing and
mechanical occupations have largely
partaken OF the general prosperity. We
have possessed all the elements of ma
terial wealth in rich abundance, yet,
notwithstanding these advantages, our
country in its monetary interests is at
present in a deptorable condition.
In the midst of unsurpassed plenty
we find our manufactures suspended, /,
our public works retarded, our private
enterprises abandoned and thousands of
useful laborers thrown out of employ
ment and reduced TO want.
In special message to congress after
an election which was thought to por-
tend the beginning of another free
trade era, President Cleveland says:
With plenteous crops, with abundant
promise of remunerative production and
manufacture, with unusual invitation to
safe investment and with satisfactory
business enterprise, suddenly financial
distrust and fear have sprung up on
every size to an extent that values,
supposed to be fixed, are fast becoming
conjectural, and loss and failure have
invaded every branch of business.
If that isn't history repeating itself
almost word for word and in loud tone
of voice, we don't know where you will
find it,

The labor organizations of Chicago
have in the neighborhood of q half mil
lion dollars tied up in the treasures of
their several bodies, which in view of
the prevailing stringency they have de-
cided to pat into circulation by invest
ment in securities OF various kinds.
This not only shows the practical wis
dom OF these organizations but it proves
that there is plenty OF money in this
country If it only gets back into circul-
alton.

In response to request from Gov.
Sheldon. President Shannon Of the
state board of regents, and the board Of
trustees of the Agricultural College at
Brookings Attorney General Crawford
has rendered an opinion upon the, rela-
tive powers of the two boards in ques-
ton which will go long way toward
clearing up the existing situation and
will prevent in the future any such COM
plications as have arisen in the past.
The opinion was promulgated on Satur-
day last and is now in the hands Of
President Shannon. who will bring it
to the attention OF his associates at an
early day.
The Attorney General quotes the Sec
tions of the constitution and the statues
Hereunder defining the duties of the
two boards, and then draws in effect
the following conclusions:
Neither board can exercise any auth
ority or power beyond that embodied
in the constitution and the laws, nor
take from these powers or enlarge
them.
The act of February 26. 1890, gives
the Regents controlling and supervis-
ing power over every detail of the in
stitutions under their care, but the
board may appoint officers or agents to
carry out its wishes and may remove
the trustees.
All appointments must be approved
by the Regents. The trustees are the
mere sub agents OF the Regents and can
only provide for the current manage
ment of their respective institutions:
but as they are not required to take an
oath OF office, are obliged to make no
official reports, can make no contracts,
can not sue or be sued, keep no seal,
and have no other clearly defined pow
ers they are entitled to no compensa-
tion for services.
There is no provision in the laws CIV
ing the trustees the custody OF institu-
tions or funds. The state treasurer is
the proper custodian of all funds but
the Regents can elect treasurer for
certain specific funds. The Regents
have the disbursement of all funds but
may give the trustees authority under
them. The latter have no indepen-
dent authority.
The trustees have no right to audit
claims or issue warrants but the Re-
gents alone have power to do this.

igan and Ganson streets, having a ca
pacity of 100000 bushels and valued
at three-quarters of a million dollars.
was totally Destroyed by fire about 8
o'clock a. m. About a dozen frame
structures. mostly saloons and dwell
ings, were also burned.
The elevator was one of the largest in
the city. but had not been much used
this season, considerable repairs and
improvements being made in it. Until
few days ago there was no grain
stored there and at the time of the fire
it did not contain more than 10000
bushels. The Kellogg elevator and a
big lumber yard were on fire several
times, but the flames were extinguished
before gaining any great headway. The
total loss is estimated at $500, 600 and is
fairly we'll covered by insurance.

Behrins Sea Tribunal of Arbitration
Finally Reaches De.
cisiOn.
The United States Claims to Exclu
sive Jurisdiction Is Not
Upheld,
But Seals Will Be Protected d-Pelagic
Sealing Prohibited at Certain
Times and Places.

PARIS, Aug. 16.-The decision of the
Behring sea tribunal of arbitration was
handed down at 11:O7 o'clock a. m.
The first five points of article 6 are de
cided against the United States.
A close season is established to begin
May and to continue until July 2l.
This close season shall be observed both
in the North Pacific ocean and in Behr-
ing sea.
A protected zone is established ex-
tending for GO mics around the islands.
Pelagic sealing is allowed outside the
zone in Behring sea from Aug. to
May /.
The use of firearms in sealing is pro-
hibited.
The American arbitrators have ex-
pressed their satisfaction with the text
of the decision.
Baron de Courcelle, after the decision
was rendered, thanked the arbitrators
for the close and intelligent attention
they had brought to bear upon the case
Lord Hannon and Senator Morgan, in
replying to the president of the tribu-
nal, acknowledged his courtesy and
hospitality. The American arbitrators
believe that the regulations decided
upon by the tribunal mean practically y
the end of Pelagic sealing and that
they are better terms than were hereto
fore offered to the United States by
Great Britain as settlement of the
questions involved,

HEARD AT WASHINGTON.
News OF the Behring Sea Decisio
Confirmed by Secretary Gresham.

News OF the Behring Sea Decision
Confirmed by Secretary Gresham.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The secretary
of state has received cable advices from
Paris which in general terms confirm
the United Press dispatch that the deci-
sion of the arbitration tribunal on all
points, involving exclusive jurisdiction
over Behring sea has been rendered
against the United States. That is to
say, the tribunal has decided:
l. That Russia did not assert and
exercise exclusive jurisdiction in Behr-
ing sea and in the seal fisheries therein,
prior to the cession of Alaska to the
United States.
2. That consequently Great Britain
never conceded any such rights to
Russia.
8. That Behring sea was not in
cluded in the phrase Pacific ocean, as
used in the treaty of 1928 between Great
Britain and Russia; and
4. That consequently no exclusive
rights of jurisdiction over Behring sea
and over the seal fisheries therein
passed to the United States with Alaska
under the treaty of 1867.
The inference is that it is under the
last five points submitted to arbitration
by article 6, of the treaty that the con-
cessions as to close season, go mile
protected zone and the prohibion of the
use of firearms apply. This fifth point
was the one on which the greatest
stress was laid in the argument by the
United States counsel. 1t raised the
question whether the United States had
any right of protection or property in
the fur seals frequenting the islands of
Behring sea outside the 3 mile limit.

100000.

JAMESTOWN, N. D., Aug. 15.-At 2
o'clock p. IN. the worst fire in the his
tory of jamestown started. and burned
for two hours. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 of damage was done. A high
wind from the south made an ex-
tremely hot fire and everything went
like finder. The fire was of incendlry
origin, starting in an old skating rink.
1t burned the Capital hotel, recently
enlarged and refurnished. The loss is
$4,000; insurance, $4,000. The Met
ropolitan block went next. The Daily
Capital, located in the basement, the
armory of Company H, the Alliance
Hail associations office on the first
floor, and the residences of B. Rinker,
William Lloyd and James Herbert were
also destroyed. Herbert was seriously
burned about the face while attempt-
ing to save goods. The fire made a
clear jump Of 700 feet north, destroying
three barns in the rear of dwellings.

CAN'T PAY WAGES.

Economic Society Will Probably
Soon Entirely Disappear.
P1rTsBURG, Aug. 16-The affairs Of
the Economics have reached crisis,
and it seems probable that only short
time will elapse before the famous old
society will have passed entirely away.
During services Sunday Trustee Duss
notified the employees that the society
would be unable to pay wages any
more to its servants, but if they wished
to remain they might work for month
longer for their board. The society has
been unable to realize on it's real estate,
owing to the present financial stress.
The decision will effect over 300 men
and it will be very serious matter for
many families.

ION received Is regarded here az imply
ing that the tribunal to certain ex-
tent has conceded this right Only in
future seal life will be protected by
virtue of an international agreement
entered into under the award or arbi-
tration, and not solely by authority Of
United States statute.
The full text of the award is anxiously
awaited.
If, as the brief cable dispatches indi-
cate, all five points of article are de.
cided against the United States, the
regulations adopted by the tribunal, it
is presumed, are in accordance with
article7 of the treaty, which says:
"If the determination of the forego-
ing questions as to the exclusive iuris.
diction of the United States shall leave
the subject in such position that the
concurrence of Great Britain is neces-
sary to the establishment of regulations
for the proper protection and preserva-
tion of the fur seal in, or habitually
resorting to the Behring sea, the arbi-
traitors shall then determine what con-
current regulations outside the iuris-
dictional limits of the respective
governments are necessary, and over
what waters such regulations should
extend, and to aid them in that deter
mination the report of joint commls-
sion to be appointed by the respective
governments shall be laid before them.

ernment may submit. The high con-

Of employment and the amount of work
to be had was strikingly illustrated
when 1900 men gathered at the place
where work on the new sewer was to
begin. There was work for only 40
men. A crowd of about 500 Italian
laborers gathered near the spot, but
were not allowed to approach by the
crowd which exhibited considerable
feeling, but was quiet and orderly.
Only three Italians were given work
and they were known to be old resi-
dents of the city. The projected public
improvements cannot possibly supply
work for all the unemployed.
