BEHRING SEA ARBITRATION.
General Belief That the Decision Will
Favor the United States.

General Belief That the Decision Will
Favor the United States.
WASHINGTON. July 12.-The advance
guard of the returning Behring sea
commission has arrived in the persons
of Major r. w. Halford and J. Stanley
Brown. Major Halford has formally
reported his return to the department
Of state and has surrendered his vouch-
ers, showing the expenditures made by
him on account of the commission up
to the date when he returned his bal
ance, but he turned his balance over to
Agent Foster and started for the
United States.
Major Halford believes that the arbi-
tration will be concluded in shorter
time than the three months allowed
by the treaty under which the proceed
ings are being conducted. The arbi-
traitors nearly all have good reasons to
press the work before them to q con-
clusion.
Senator Morgan is so deeply interested
in investigations that are to come be-
fore congress that it is salmostssnecessary
for him to return to the United States
as soon as the session begins
The impression in Paris, derived
from the questions put from time to
time by the arbitrators during the
course of the long argument, is that
the arbitration will result in decision
recognizing the property right of the
United States in the seals to more or
less limited degree, and recommending
some international agreement for the
protection of seal life.

A FRENCH CRISIS.

Said That Carnot Will Be Forced to
Resign-No Telling What Would
Come Next.
Nearly Half a Million Men Ready to
Join In a General Strike at
Word.

NEW York, July 12.-There 10
printed here special dispatch from
Paris correspondent as follows:
The political situation In France can
only be described as chaotic. 1t is idle
to prophesy what the physical oucoms
will be. The angry uproar all day was
confined to words. Nothing in the
anxious days of last winter compares
with the violent passion and incendiary
talk in which all parties and factions
are now indulging. Men who kept cool
through the Panama scandal are saying
strange things. One who more often
than any other since the present repub-
lie was created has been recognized as
the greatest political power in France
said:
"Carnot Will Have to Resign
before next months election. Every
body can see that he, and not Dupuy
and his ministers, is responsible for the
vacillating trouble of few days.
what will happen thenT' was asked.
A shrug Of the shoulder and a non.
chalant 81 don't know" were the only
answer.
The correspondent talked with three
leaders who are at the head of the labor
socialist movement in France, and one
said boldly:
eve have 45o, 900 men ready to join
In general strike when ordered by
the national socialist congress this
week. More than that. they are will.
ing and prepared to take up arms to de.
fend the liberties which the present
government has taken.'
The cabinet is attacked by all sides
alike. Fortunately nobody dared to
start discussion in the chamber. The
constitution itself might have been
swept away in the storm which would
have ragged. 1t was tacitly agreed to
wait till Tuesday. Meantime the situa-
tien may more clearly develop itself.

When one considers the number and
variety of dire calamities that have
marked the first six months of 1898, in
cluding also the very recent frightful
disasters in iowa, and at the Worlds
Fair grounds, the awful query naturally
suggests itself: "What neXt?" The
sinking OF the Victoria, the total des-
truction of the town Of Pomeroy, and
the horrible loss of life by what seemed
an insignificant fire in Jackson Park
form trio of calamities at once unique
in character and almost unparalleled in
their direful results. Verify, it begins
to look as if Mother Shipton's prophe-
cies were coming true.

Burnham May Lose His Head.

The council is inclined to severely
censure Mr.. Burnham, and there were
rumors around the big domed building
that he would lose his head. From the
other side comes the intelligence that
the council had been advised of the un.
safe condition of the building by Chief
Murphy and his assistant, James Fitz-
patrick, who lost his life. 1t is said that
they directed joint letter apprising
him of the shell-like construction of the
building, and of the unsafe arrange
ment of the lreshaft inside the plas-
tered tower. But, in spite of this, it is
alleged, that the council in the endeav.
ors to reduce the operating expenses of
the fair, less than two weeks ago Or
dered reduction of the guard.
Cannot Place the Blame.
tits considered by some that this mat
ter cannot be settled by the council of ad-
ministration, and that the final placing
of censure will be decided by higher
body-probably the national commits
sion, acting on the authority of the
United States government. The council
has heard of the story and has used it
to shield itself. They will probably
erder the removal Of Director of Works
Burnham, the accredited assistant Of
Director General Davis. Mr.. Burn
ham will, should this occur, no doubt
appeal to the director general, and he,
as creature of the national commits
sion, may order Mr.. Burnham to
remain.
The council of administration and
local directors agreed to make Colonel
Davis director general de facto, but the
national commission has not yet
acquiesced in this move, and here is
seen where the trouble lies in the final
bestowal of censure.
Davis Didn't Know.
81 had never been informed that the
Cold Storage building was not properly
constructed" said Director General
Davis, "nor did know until last night
that the insurance on it had been can
celled. l am now informed that it had
been inspected and pronounced unsafe
by experienced fremen and in
surance men and I am at
loss to understand why a
report was not made to me- I do not
know that the council of administration
knew anything about it. although that
would have been the proper body to re-
ceive such report. However, had it
been made it would have been seen that
have heard of it, but did not. The
information now comes too late to save
the lives of the brave men who were
killed. The entire matter will be fully
investigated, and the least that can be
done is to place the responsibility"

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, July H.
The council of administration at Ad-

sion. The council contends that If the
Cold Storage building was unsafe or
had been condemned they had not been
notified to that effect. The correspond
ence purporting to convey this intelli-
gence was had, it is alleged, between
Director of Works Burnham and those
in charge of the building. The director
of works and his assistant, Mr.. Graham,
were summoned to appear before the
council and they arrived at the Admin

gally Loan School Funds.
PIERRE, S. D.. July 12.-Some very
crooked work has just been brought to
light in connection with the loaning of
the permanent school fund Of the state.
The county commissioners in several Of
the counties of the state have illegally
loaned the school funds to owners of
farm lands. In one of these counties
the commissioners have
Utterly Disregarded the Law.
and out of SO loans made upon farm
lands only two of them are made as
provided by statute. The constitution
provides that counties shall invest
said money in bonds Of school corpora
tions, or in first mortgage upon good
improved farm lands within their
limits respectively; but no farm loan
shall exceed $500 to any one person, nor
shall it exceed one-half the value Of the
land as assessed for taxation, and the
rate of interest shall not be less than 6
per cent
The county where the most crooked
work has been going on has violated the
law by loaning more than $500 to one
person and by loaning more money upon
the land than it was assessed Tor. In
one instance they loaned $s,5Oo to one
man upon tract Of land assessed at
$933; 81, 500 to another man on land as
sessed at $S40. and $4,000 on land as
sessed ae $1,000. Out Of $31, 900 loaned
by this county 25 of the loans were
made in sums above $500 and the
amounts run all the way up to So, 500.

In the November number of Dona.
hoes magazine, Hon. John F. Finerty,
the we'll known newspaper man, lecturer
and ex.congressman, gives some cogent
reasons for the republican faith that
abides with him. He says he is a re-
publican because the republican party
has been the friend of American liberty,
progress and dignity; because the repub.
lican party has appropriated to itself all
that was best in the national policy OF
Jefferson, Monroe and jackson; because
the republican party grappled with and
crushed the secession rebellion: because
by a just policy Of taxing foreign imports
the republican party has made the
burdens Of the people lighter, eetab

and paid 9 gigantic army and formidable
navy for the restoration Of the union

New York World is getting rather shaky
OF the administration. itself. In CON-
menting or Hawaiian matters it says:
1T ough: to be reasonably safe to as
sumo that Grover Cleveland aud Walter

should be noted. 1t doesn't Say they
are not fools, nor that it is safe to AS
sumo they are not fools. nor that it is
reasonably safe to assume they sre not
fools, but it looks about m%ournfully,
dreams of the days of J%effereonian

"it ought to be safe u assume they are
not FOOLS" The World is right-it
fought to be safe to assume such a
thing. The real question comes after

ITO the v!ctors belons the spoils''
is a theory always advocated by the Bis

pointed. The republican papers Of this

As THE time approaches for the demo-
cratic reform of the tariff the louder the
protests from the south. There has been
a wonderful development in many south
ern states during the last ten years and
the intelligent people of that section are
just beginning to realize that it has been
principally on account of the tariff as
adjusted by republicans. The south
will doubtless remain quite solidly dem
o%cratic, so far as voting is concerned, for
some time, but the dawn of industrial
education is upon that region and the
principles of democracy are even now
boldly denounced by thousands who con.
tinue, through force of habit and blind
prejudice, to vote the democratic ticket.
