The Boring Sea Dispute.
The Claims OF the United states, as they
VIII BE Tried Before the Tribunal
NJ

The Claims OF the United states, as they
VIII BE Tried Before the Tribunal
Of Arbitration.
The United States claims in the Boring
sea controversy, as they will be laid before
the tribunal OF arbitration in Paris, are as
follows: That up to the cession of Alaska
to the United States, Russia exercised ex-
elusive right to the seal fisheries in Ber-
ing sea, and also the right to prevent, by
force if necessary, any invasion Of such ex-
elusive right. That Great Britain, not
having objected to such assertions of ex-
elusive right, is TO be deemed as having
assented to them. That the water now
known as Boring sea was not included in
the phrase Pacific ocean" used in the
treaty of 1875 between Great Britain and
Russia. That all the rights and authority
of Russia in respect to seal fisheries in Be
ring sea east of the water boundary estab-
lished by the treaty of March 30, 1867,
passed unmpaired to the United States
under the treaty; that the United States
have such property in the Alaskan seal
herd as to justify the employment by that
nation of means reasonably necessary to
protect such herd and that compensation
should be made to the United States by
Great Britain for the losses of the United
/ States, and should ii be considered that the
| United States have not the full property
| interest asserted, Great Britain should
| concur with the United States in enforcing
/ regulations to prevent the capture upon
the high seas of seals belonging to the said
/ herd. The claims for losses will be calcu-
| lated on a basis of 10000 seals.
The case will be formally opened before
the arbitrator, at Paris, March %. Ex-
| Secretary of State Foster, who is the agent
of the United States before the commission,
and Senator Morgan of Alabama, who,
with Justice Harlan, is an arbitrator for
the United States are now on their way
across the Atlantic. Sir John Thomp-
son, the prime minister of Canada, who
| represents that country, starts for Ottawa
this week. The entire court of arbitration
consist of seven persons, of whom the Pres
ident appoints two, the Queen two, and
the President of the French republic, the
King of Norway and Sweden and the
King of Italy one each. BY the terms OF
the treaty this commission must meet in
Paris and make its award within one yeal
after the date of the ratification or ex.
change of Publications of the treaty. This
would bring the decision due in April, if il
were not for further provision which
gives the arbitrator three months aftel
hearing the arguments in which to deliber
ate and reach a decision. With the dat,
for the argument fixed so late in Marcel
and the probable delays in completing it
the earliest time when a decision can b.
expected will be well into the summer.

A Yankee MuSSulman
Who Has Come Home to Convert His
Countrymen TO the True Faith.

The New York papers are making much
of the presence in that city of Alexander
Russell Webb, an American born citizen
whom Mr.. Cleveland sent as consul to
Manila, in the Philippine Islands, in 1885.
He spent his time in studying Oriental re-
ligions, went to India, saw much of intelli-
gent Mohammedans, became thoroughly
converted TO their faith and has come back
to this country as Jealous and determined
Mohammedan missionary. Mr.. Webb
landed in New York Feb. 10 and has since
been living quietly at small hotel. A
Sun reporter, describing his personal APP
pearance, picks out his eyebrows and his
beard as his most conspicuous features
the former "huge, brown, stiff and brst-
ling" and the latter covering his whole
face, beginning at the cheek-bones and
'descending to the end of his breast bone
in a vast and spreading shower Of very
dark brown. 1t covered the lower part of
his face from ear to ear. 1t buried mouth
and chin and chops. 1t was a beard to
swear by. The Oriental Mohammedans
swear BY the beard of the prophet The
missionary to America is so blessed by
Providence that his followers here may
swear by the beard of Muhammad
Webb
The object of his mission, Mr.. Webb
says, sis to educate the people of this coun-
try in regard to the faith of Islam, and
tear down the prejudices which every Chris
tian country has against that religion. For
this purpose we intend to publish weekly
journal dealing with the subject at issue.
We shall also have a publishing house for
issuing Islamic literature, with a free libra
ry and reading room attached" The Ko-
ran will also be printed in cheap form
and freely distributed.
The Sun adds, in its account, that
there may be many Mohammedan visitors
TO the Worlds Fair, and they will find a
mosque ready for them, with Muhammad
Webb as reception committee, and, in all
probability, with full-hedged Mohamme-
dan priest to intone the prayers"

In the midst of this rejoicing comes sor-
row for the death of Miss Jennie Casslday
of Louisville, KY, the national supern-
tendent Of the flower mission department,
which occurred Feb. &. 1t is well known
that she had lain on her bed from spinal
difficulty for more than 30 years, and that
for the past 10 years she has carried on the
enormous correspondence of her work.
The last two summers have been spent at
the Rest Cottage home for working girls
near Louisville. Although the removals
caused her much increased suffering, it
was done for others good.

Mr. Gladstone at Home.

When relieved from the affairs of state,
Mr. Gladstone finds no pleasure so great
as his home life at Hawarden. There his
family are gathered together, and the great
man romps and plays with his grandchil-
dren as though he never knew what il was
to be blamed for everything that went
wrong in all Great Britain and her colo
MES. Mr.. Gladstone is a wonderful scholar,
a busy writer and speaker. but the little
Gladstone children know him best as a
good, kind grandfather who is fond of fun.
He, too, would prefer to enjoy their com
pany rather than to be surrounded by Eng
lands great men at an all-night session of
parliament. His other recreations are
walking and--this is really very funny
chOpping down trees. Our great George
Washington, according to tradition, had a
a like fondness in his youth, but by the
time he became president he had probably
outgrown such fancies Mr.. Gladstone,
however is an expert woOdman, and
though he doesn't destroy valuable cherry
trees, he goes out with his axe and takes
the keenest pleasure in telling trees in
Hawarden park A visitor to the castle
one day noticed an axe behind the door in
the great hall, where it had been left by
the statesman after one of his chopping
expeditions. A curious ornament for such
place, it seems. 1t may be out of com
pliment to the boy George Washington
and his hatchet that the "Grand Old Man
prefers to use an American axe.-Hdiper :

a great many of the good stories that were
told of him, but one whispered around
among the clergy lacked the Bishops deni-
al. He was TO confirm a class in a highly
ritualstic parish, and the rector, an old
friend of the Bishops and well acquainted
with the latter's broad church views, wrote
to say that as there might be some features
Of the service which Bishop Brooks would
disapproye, any such would be omitted if
he would be kind enough to indicate them.
The Bishops reply to this communication
is said to have been note which ran
about thus: dear: Turn it all on"
He used to relate, with great glee, how,
passing along the street one night, he saw

4 Novel Method of Voting.
From IIarper,s Weekly

In number Of the towns of the state of
New York, when the spring elections are
held this year, there will be very novel
scene. Each voter will walk into little
room with walls of sheet-iron, will see before
him neat array of bright knobs-to each
of which is attached the name of a candi-
date for office, the whole number including
all the names placed in nomination-will
push in the knob for every name he wishes
to vote, and will pass out, having taken,
according to the experiment in Lockport
last year, less than 40 seconds. BY the
machinery thus employed every vote is Sc
curely and secretly recorded, and every
voter can cast one vote, and no more, for
one candida for each Office. There is no
printing of ballots required, there is no
chance of misprinted names, or of mis-
counting, accidental or intended, or of
changing the returns. The election held
in Lockport in the spring of 1892 was very
favorably reported on by those who watch
ed it, and the like elections this year will
be closely studied.

Gle railway company, was given hearing
before the railway committees of the New
Hampshire legislature at Representatives
hall Tuesday evening His purpose was to
explain the principle and operation of his
proposed bicycle railroad system. He said
that with its introduction into this country
passengers could be carried from the White
mountains to Boston in 90 minutes. to
New York city in two hours, and in single
June day to San Francisco. His object
was not to make any attack on existing
railroad corporations, but simply to utilize
their roadbeds for his invention, or to have
both systems in use on the same road at
the same time. The cost of building a
single-post, four track road would not ex-
coed 500, 900 a mile.

No fiction in the world is more fascinat-
ing or more powerful than that of Russia.
This fact is made apparent in the current
issue of Romance, the seventh in its nota-
bic series of special numbers, and specif-
cally devoted to Russian short stories.
Uncommon interest attaches to a recently
discovered tale by John G. Whittier, and
also to the striking newspaper story, 1.-THE
great journal beat" by Rhodes MacKnight.
The readers of Romance will not be sur
prised to learn the fact, which has come
out since his death, that Phillips Brooks
was regular reader and warm admirer of
this monthly issue of good short stories.

An Overlooked Feature Of the VovId'-



Intent upon the mechanical and material
wonders of the Worlds Fair, the public
has not yet begun to realize that the most
important feature of the Columbian Expo
sition is to be its congresses, which will
gather together the leading thinkers of the
age. Those who are foremost in religion,
science, and sociology, are already on the
way to take part in discussion such as
the world has never known before. What
barriers in religion may disappear, what
progress be achieved in the problems of
government, what advances made in the
settlement of the broader questions affect
ing society, by this assemblage of the wise
men of all nations Is it too much to be-
lieve that the quickening of thought which
must result from such a congress, will
hasten, beyond precedent, the progress of
humanity? The Cosmopolitan for March
is the first of the illustrated magazines to
present the importance of this phase of
the exposition, in an article from the pen
Of Mrs. Henrotin, the brilliant vice pres-
dent of the woman branch of the World 5
Congress Auxiliary, in which attention is
turned from the more obvious objective
features of the exposition to some of the
most interesting subjects of social reform.
