FIDDLE VERSUS VIOLIN.

Modern Violin Music, the Old Man Says, Is
Nowhere Beside Plain FiddIing.
Old man said, says he: I'm longin'

may be all right fer them what's got

to be compared to plain fiddlin'.

ties Emigration,
NEW York, Jan. 25.-Charles H.
Tupper, Minister OF Marine ard Fisheries
in the Canadian government, arrived at
the Hotel Brunswick yesterday, and
leaves to-day on the Majestic for Europe.
Mr.. Tupper is the agent from Canada for
the British government to the Behring
Straits Sealing Arbitration commission,
which meets in Paris on Feb 20 next
Speaking on the topic of annexation last
night, Mr. Tupper said:
''it is r great surprise to me and to
most Canadians to note the stir that
some Of the New York newspapers make
about the annexation Of Canada to the
United States This talk of the great
desire Of Canadians for annexation is en-
tirely misrepresented.
"Cauada does not want annexation.
We want to be good neighbors, aud that
is all. No one in favor of annexation
could be elected on that platform to even
the smallest Office in Canada. The party
now in power in Canada is kept in be-
cause of the distrust that the opposition
might have even slight thoughts toward
annexation.
"Ihere is no fear that Canada will be
forced into annexation, for we are as self
contained and contented as any nation in
the world. Canada is most prosperous;
comfort reigns in all the provinces, and
no policy Of the United States can change
our political feelings. Our prosperity is
increasing yearly and we are ever so much
ahead of where we were ten years ago
The United States cannot crush or con
troll Canada any more than England
could crush or control the United States
Only those who do not know Canada talk
Of annexation. A trip through the Prov
inces would speedily convince them of the
folly they utter.
AS to the fishery treaties, / can only
say that since the modus vivendi was es-
tablished in 1888, there has been no
friction between Canada and the United
States on the subject, OF course there
have been a lot Of Unfounded newspaper
stories, but there was no basis for them.
Canada has however, had some differ
ences with the Newfoundland govern
ment, because the government gave the
United States fishermen privileges that
were denied to their Canadian brethren
These, however, are being settled now,
and there virtually exists a modus yivendi
between Newfoundland and Canada.
81 think that eventually the virgin
wheat lands of Canada must draw the
emigration that the United States is now
getting, for it seems to me that the
American lands will carry all they can

CITIZENS IN PURSUIT
Excitement Over the Murder
at Jeddo, Pa.
sTRocrous WORK OF n1GuwAYmuN

shalonsl,y ard Put the Latter to Death,
the Former Escaping AFTER a Desperate
Tighr-Thc Whole County Aroused.
HAzLEToN, Pa, Jan. 2j.-A posse Of
citizens is in pursuit of the murIcrers of
Michael Shalensly There is great ev-
citement in this vicinity over the atrocious
crime.
The murder was committed on the road
between Jeddo and Freeland.
Joseph Matgas and Michael Shalensky
started from Jeddo about O'Clock at
night, intending TO walk to Freeund.
They had proceeded but short distance
when suddenly three men wearing masks
jumped from the roadside and confronted
them
"Hold up your haudsp' they cried
Two pistols were pointed at their heads
and Matgas complied His companion did
not move.
The order was repeated, and instantly
he was knocked down by blow with u
sandbag.
The highwaymen then proceeded to go
through his clothes, but failed to find
anything
This angered them, and repeated Iy
they brought the sandbag down upon his
head. He implored his prosecutors to
spare his life, and they promised to do so
if he would secure them a ransom.
Then Shnlensky was permitted to re-
gain his feet
One of the highwaymen proposed that
the feet of their victims should be
tied while they were writing the order to

release. Shalensky, who was "a powerful
man, rebelied and with a lunge succeeded
in knocking one Of his captors prostrate
A second and third man fell, and the
men began to hope for liberty when five
confederates Of the gang sprang upon
them from the wayside and in an instant
the two men were overpowered
Ihe leader asked how much money they
had in their possession Shalenslly re-
piled that he had none Matgas, how
ever had $40 in gold Their captors
wanted more ShalensSy had no money
and was asked to dictate letter to his
friends. He replied that it would be Of
no use as he had but few.
Although the robbers were masked
they probably feared detection and they
resolved to put the two men 20 death.
Matgas was held firmly by two OF the
band while three others bound Shaleusky.
During the operation Shalensky, how
ever, made desperate efforts to escape,
and one of MaJgas cuptors left him to
assist in controlling Shalensky.
Seeing but one man left to hold him
Matgas got away and reached the village
of Highland.
The inhabitants were informed of his
terrible experience and flight and JJ men
