to the upper dock and immediately noti-
fed the prison officials.

Keeper Connanghton at once repaired to

the dsnd murderer wore The body was
very much decomposed, One of the fisher
men says he thinks he saw another body
further down the river, but did not go

PARIS, May lin the Behring sea
court yesterday Sir Charles Russell urged
that the method of sealing on the Priby-
loft islands was more destructive and moro
cruel than pelagic sealing. He ridiculed
the professions of the United States that
they were acting in this matter in a spirit
of humanity. Pelagic sealing, he said,
was due to the enormous tax imposed by
the United States upon the lessees of the
seal islands. He asked that all the mem
bers Of the tribunal rid their minds OF
cant, and face the question without lofty
talk Of philanthropy.

Second TO the French exhibit in the Fine
Arts building, the thousands Of people at
the exposition seemed to concentrate in
the United States section. which was open
TO the public. Tho American salons were
crowded all day, and nearly everybody
was interested in the works of art suffs-
ciently to have catalogue. There was
no hurrying through the dozen American
salons already hung, and the praise be-
slowed upon the works of American
painters, many of them prize winners from
Paris and London exhibitions, was not un-
1eserved.- There are $500 pieces In the
United States art exhibit, far exceeding in
sumber the contribution of France, Great
Britain, Germany and Italy. Chief Ives,
Of the fine art department, felt proud of
the showing made by American painters
In oil and water colors, and that OF the
sngrayers, etchers, sculptors and other
artists.

commission, which is investigating the
musical troubles, called on President Hig-
lnbotham, and also questioned the council
of administration in his room regarding
the appointment Of Theodore Thomas, his
relation to the director and the power Of
the aJsanission to enforce his removal as
leader of the association orchestra. The
answers given the committee were not
such ms to encourage a radical report. and
1t Is probable that the commission will re-
cciye the finding and recommendation OF
Its committee to curtail the power of Mr..
Thomas as to the exclusive use OF certain
Instruments, and IL he does not like it he
can resign. -'
Director General Davis appeared before
the commission and answered questions
from tho commissioners regarding the
rules and regulations of the exposition. In
referring to the statement that several ar
hcles had been stolen from the different
buildings the director general said he had
no doubt it was true, as he considered the
police protection furnished by the Colum-
bian guards utterly inadequate.
