Paris, April Sin the court of arbi-

ter, Phelps continued the argument for
rejection OF the supplementary report
Of the Bering sea commission.
"If 1 had been guiding the policy Of
the United States" said Phelps. when
Great Britain presented her counter
case at the last minute, would then
and there have refused to proceed with
Great Britain, a conduct not only un-
just. but deeply humiliating for the
United States.'
Sir Richard Webster interposed the
remark that Great Britain announced
In her counter case the production at
future date of the Bering sea COM
missioners' report.
Mr. Mr.. Phelps said he had not been
aware or this. The whole report. he
said. was untrustworthy, and the Brit
lsh report was neither answered nor
commented upon by the United States
Sir Charles Russell said he had not
expected much discussion. He felt
quite unprepared for this extraordinary
heat on the part Of the opposing coun-
sci. He was extremely surprised that
Great Britain should be charged with
injustice in her conduct of the proceed
lngs preliminary to the meeting of the
court. There was no intention on the
part of Great Britain to use the re-
ports of the Bering sea commission as
bearing upon the question Of right be-
fore. the -eeurt. The council for the
United States attempted throughout
the sitting OF the tribunal to force this
matter upon the commissioners as II
only one question was before them.
Sir Charles Russell then justified the
production of the report of the Berine
sea commission, arguing from the terms
OF the arbitration treaty that If he said,
the sole object of the report was to as
sist the tribunal to gain information as
to the regulation of practical matters
at issue, the report then must be ad-
mitted to evidence under the Article

of arbitration.

Cholera Threatens It's Ravages There
This Summer

st. Petersburg, April 5.-There is nov
scarcely doubt entertained by those
aware Of the real situation. that Rus
sia is to again suffer from the ravages
Of cholera. concurrent with the setting
In Of slightly warmer weather. Official
reports. incomplete as they are, show
the recurrence OF the disease In nearly
all places in which 1t wrought such
frightful havoc last summer and au-
tumn. Official returns are made public
showing that from March 10Th to
March Goth there were 65 cases OF chol-
era and 10 deaths from the disease in
the town of Orel. Official figures place
the number Of cases of the disease re-
ported from March 18th to March 9th
in the government of Oofa at 81, and
the deaths at 20 In addition, It Is q
matter Of common knowledge that the
number of cholera cases and deaths
from the scourge are far more numer-
Gus in the governments that are moi
reported or included in the returns.
This is especially the case In the gov
ernments of Podolia and Saratoff which
were ravaged by cholera last year. II
is impossible. however, to obtain the
actual number of cases or death.

Stanley. Just landed from the steamer

forty miles north of Redondo which
proved to be the missing one Of the
ill-fated ship King James. The boat
left the ships side when the fire drove
them from the vessel, about $50 miles
off from Point Conception. They left
the ship at midnight of March sOth.
and laid by the ship until four o'clock
the following morning At $40 D. m.
of the 31st, the boat was capsized, and
there were four men drowned. The
captain his boy and the remainder OF
the crew climbed upon the keel of the
boat, and succeeded In rlghting her,
but the boat was full of water and they
remained up to their waists in water
for fourteen hours, when the men

passed overheard, and the boat was so
much relieved by this means that those
living were enabled to bail her out.
All the provisions, oars and riggings of
every kind, excepting a small piece OF
SAIL. were lost at the time OF the up
setting of the boat, and 1t was only
through the ingenious contrivance OF
ssnaking the grating and boat lining
into rudder and by the use of the
scrap Of sail mentioned, that they were
enabled to make any headway what
ever. When picked up by the Los An
geles this morning, the captain and
three remaining members or his crew
had been five days without food or
water. They were SO weak as to be
unable to stand or walk, and had to
be lifted from the boat by the willing
arms of the rescuers. The names of
those saved are Captain william

The coal took fire on March 10. On
the 3Oth an explosion occurred which |
tore up the deck in all directions, and
the ship was soon ablaze. At midnight, |
seeing that the fire was still increas-

to control the flames and took to the
boats after securing the best of the |
effects. Captain w. Drummond, his |
son and fifteen men occupied one boat,

took the second boat. April gale

Washington, April Sin the senate
today Palmer opposed the majority re-
port in the Mantle case. He argued
in conclusion that If the line of con-
struction insisted on by the majority
OF the committee was pursued the time
would not be far distant when the pow
er of the state legislatures to elect SEN
ators would be very largely abridged,
and there would be combinations in
the states to defeat the choice OF SEN
ators by the Legislature so as to insure
their appointment by the governors.

ing the secretary of the treasury to

The postoffice department yielded a
genuine sensation today 1t was all due
to an order issued by the postmaster
general to the chief of the appoint
ment division of the fourth assistants
office directing him to give out no in
formation in regard to appointments
of postmasters of the fourth class.
Heretofore c,nplete lists of the
changes made csly have been fur
nished to the press, and this sudden
change excited remark. 1t is learned
that the order was issued because the
president is beginning to dislike seeing
so much in public print relative to "cut-
ting off heads" "guillotine," and other
terms more or less sportive, that are
used to characterize the work of Max
well, the fourth assistant. Later in
the day, however, Postmaster General
Bissell decided not to apply the order
to the list of appointments made to-
day, and it was so given out. 1t is
probable that this quasi-suspension of
the order will be continued and the list
will be given out as usual.

o,rEsTI0Ns ANSWERED.

Awakened souls always ask quest
ions somewhat as follows: "Men and
brethren. what shall we do?' Ii this
question is asked in sincerity, the cor
rect answer is always forthcoming
It NAV be summarized as follows:
..Forsake the old and begin the new
..Forsake both the old life and the old
institution and lead new life in a
new institution"
The pertinent questions asked in the
Atchison Champion, found IN announcer
place in our columns, deserve to be
answered. 1t is admitted that the
evils complained of are here; but he
asks, "can the evil be curedP"
Without any hesitancy. we answer,
..yesr' "Howr' The first thing to be
done is to break off old political atfill-
ations and alliances. The war was
over the very hour that armed and
organized rebellion surrendered and
broke ranks. The hindrance and men
ace OF all political reform is the ex-
istence of old political machinery
Clear away the old rubbish and lay
deep and strong new foundation.
"Put new wine into new bottles. :"
.Purge out the old leavch that ye
may become new lump"
There is no patent on political par
ties. If necessary, form q new reso-
luton, new platform, a new party
every day in the year, Old party
fealtysa and new party prejudice is the
rock that blocks the advance of the
car of progress.
Apology for the errors and wrong
doing of the old will never do. 1t is
labor lost to attempt TO reform the
old. This did not Paul nor Luther.
This did, not Washington and Lincoln.
The old is not worth reforming. Cast
the old political idols to the moles and
the bats. Iconoclasm is the order of
the day.

Cast out every foe"

who would bre; K down her laws and
rob her people for their own selfish
gain
Let up present a united and bold
front to these law breakers and their
friends, and success is sure.
On our side we have law and Justice
and right, and courage and faithful
ness will win glorious victory.
In every locality where the law is
not enforced, it would be well to organ
ize law and order leagues connected
with the state union. The plan of such
organizations will be sent on applica-
ton to the secretary.
Hon. John a NGurry of Topeka, has
been appointed general attorney and
counselor for the union, and will at
tend meetings, give legal advice and
aid in prosecutions so far as he can.
We suggest that at an early date in.
each town or township there be held
local conventions, and that after
such local meetings aG county con-
ventiOn be held some central point,
and the State Temperance Union will
endeavor to have a representative at
the latter meeting.
1t would greatly help if the sec
rotary could be furnished with list
of some representative temperance
people in every county in the state.:a
Funds are greatly needed by the
union to be used in the distribution of
literature and in carrying on aggres-
sive work. Contributions should be
sent to Mrs. S. A. Thurston, treasurer,
Topeka, Kansas.
Speakers and organizers will be fur
nished by the union as largely as pos
sible to localities needing and apply
ing for them. In a state as large as
Kansas, a vast amount of work will be
required to cover the whole field. and
we may not be able to furnish organ
izers in some instances as promptly as
desired. but we are perfecting arrang-
ments for the greatest temperance
campaign ever held in this or any
state, and propose to so awaken the
the dorment sentiment that the peo-
pie will rise in their might all over the
state, and wipe out all lawIessness.
Friends of prohibition, to work!
Organize! Agitate! Turn on the
light! Stir the people to action! Let
every city, town, village and school
district have its temperance organ
ization OF prohibitory enforcement
league. Now is the time. Issue |
call for meeting at once. and start
the work vigorously all along the line.
