New Hampshire Gives Congress Statues Of
Daniel Webster and Gen. Stark.
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. The senate
devoted Thursday S session to addresses
in connection with the acceptance and
placing in statuary hall of the capitol
of the marble statues of Gen. John
Stark and Daniel Webster, presented
by the state of New Hampshire
The one that attracted most atten-
ton was that of Senator Hoar rep.
Mass.) in relation to Mr.. Webster,
whose speeches, he said, were the
literature Of American nationality.
They were to the American what the
psalms of David were to the He
brew, what the songs of Burns
were to the Scotchman. Up to
the 18th of March. 1880, when he made
his speech in the senate in support of
the fugitive slave law, he was the ora
Gle of New England. But on that day
he put himself in opposition to the
conscience of the north. The voice Of
law, as he interpreted it, and the
voice of God, speaking to the
individual soul then for the first
time in the nations history, seemed to
be in conflict. Nothing, said Senator
Hoar, could have resisted the domin-
ion of Daniel Webster over New Eng
land, until he provoked an encounter
with the inexorable conscience of the
Puritan. Senator Hoar.s concluding
sentence was warmly applauded. 1t
was: He is the one foremost figure in
our history between the day when
Washington died and the day when
Lincoln took the oath of Office"
Senator Morgan (dem., Ala) fol.
lowed Senator Hoar, and took an OPP
posite view of Mr. Webster's defense
of the fugitive slave law, regarding it
as the most conspicuous evidence of
his moral courage, obeying the con-
stitution of the United States rather
than the clamor and sentiment of New
England
Senator Chandler rep, N. HI spoke
of Webster's ancestry and his life and
services to the country.
& Among others who spoke in eulogy
of Webster and Stark were Senators
Morrill, rep, VT, Davis rep, Minn.).

other day he took picture of his baby
and brought it to the office.
'Of course you know how intelligent

the bachelor, stroking his bald head
with the air of a connoisseur of in

loyal. They swore it was the bright

that it was the image of Jones.
IF it had been anyone else's child
Jones would have knocked somebody
down for the insult, but he took it as
great compliment and stuck the pic
ture up in a frame on his desk.
This was too much for Smith-the
other papa. He hasn't any camera of
his own, so he got young man who
lives next door to come in and take his
baby's picture, and=he brought it down
to the Office as an opposition to Jones.
Really, I'm sorry for Smith if his baby

that the boy looked just exactly like
him he ordered drinks all around and
put the picture up on his desk as
further opposition to Jones.

have to stop and admire those pictures,

Secretary Gresham Submits Information
of Behring Sen Award

Secretary Gresham Submits Information
Of Behring Sea Award.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.-Secretary
Gresham Thursday afternoon fur.
nished the house of representatives
full information touching the payment
by ts.e United States to Great Britain
of 1925, 900 for damages growing out of
the Bebring sea controversy in COM
piiance with resolution in the house.
In transmitting the papers to the
speaker, Secretary Gresham says in
explanation of the matter:
THE Paris tribunal of arbitration held that
the United States had no right of protection of
property in the fur seals in Behring sea OUT
side the ordinary 3-mile limit. Under article
OF the. convention Of February %, 1892. where
by the questions which had arisen between the
two governments concerning the jurisdictional
rights OF the United States in the waters OF
Behring sea were submitted to arbitration, the
arbitrator unanimously found that a number
OF British sealing vessels were seized in Behr-
ing sea or warned therefrom by cruisers Of the
United st: ties on the days and at the places in
the special finding mentioned, leaving for fu-
ture determination the questions as to the
value of the said vessels or their contents. or
either Of them. and the question as to whether
the vessels mentioned In the schedule to the
British case. or any of them, were wholly or in
part the actual property OF citizens of the
United States.
= II the plan Of settlement recommended by
the president In his last annual message is
not acceptable to congress the remaining con-
troverted questions must be determined either
by the organization of joint commission
or by negotiations between the two gov
ernments Experience has shown that in err
national commissions are slow and expensive.
Should such course be reSOrted to- the
evidence would be found mostly on the Pacific
coast widely scattered and counsel would be
needed to examine and cross-examine wit
nesses. The question of indirect or conse-
from the tribunal of arbitration, the pending
claims are for British vessels actually seized in
Behring sea or warned out Of it by cruisers OF
the United States.
1T will appear from the submitted CORE
spondence that the agreements to pay lump
sum Of 5000 in full settlement OF all de-
mands authorized to be made under the treaty
and award was proposed by this gov
eminent. The amount is considerably
below the damages claimed by Great
Britain, exclusive Of the interest for a
number OF years. II this agreement does
not receive the approval Of congress and the
disputed questions are submitted to an inter-
national commission. it is believed that the
amount allowed and the expense OF the trib-
unal, including witnesses and the taking Of
their testimony, will largely exceed s4s5. 900.
u. In view of all the facts and what may be
reasonably expected as the result OF commits
sion, the undersigned submits that prompt
and final settlement of the yexatious contro-
versy by an appropriation Of the lump agreed
upon is advisable, - Sc

farmers say that if there were not
little hunting the animals would SO
increase as to be nuisance before
then. They have been eating some of
the crops this autumn, are often found
in orchards consuming fallen fruit,
and an agriculourist in Windsor coun-

"But for the large exports Of gold and un-

ing works, though until the year ends the force
actually at work naturally diminishes. The
holiday trade has been rather poor at most
points, partly owing to mild weather. There
is distinctly more confidence shown about the
future demand for industrial products, though
prices are not better.
domestic exports increased little, though
exportable staples are not better in price. In
November the excess of merchandise exports

Al sCorrespondent's Version of the Atroci-
81 ties of Port Arthur.
New YORK, Dec. 21.-The World
prints the following special advices
from its correspondent, James Creel-
man, who was with the Japanese
army, dated Port Arthur, Novemb er24,
via Vancouver, December 10:
The struggle for the emancip ltion OF Corea
has been suddenly turned into asavages war
OF conquest It. is no. longer a conflict be-
tween civilization and barbarism. Japan for
the last four days has trampled civilization
under the feet of her conquering army. The
taking Of Port Arthur and the possession OF
one of the most powerful strongholds in the
world was too great a strain upon the japanese
character, which relapsed in a few hours back
into the british stilte from which it was awal-
ened a genera ion ago..
- Almost the entire population found in Port
Arthur has been massacEed and the work OF
butchering the unarmed and unresisting in
habitants has been continued. China Is now
at the mercy OF the island empire
After detailing the circumstances Of
the fighting which ended in the cap-
sture Of Port Arthur, the correspondent
tells how the Chinese mutilated the
corpses of the japanese dead. He says:
their heads gone and their bodies multi
lated, Several corpses were without hands,
two had been butchered like sheep and their
hearts and livers torn out.
AS the Japanese troops moved on they saw
the heads OF their slain comrades hanging by
cords with their noses and ears gone. There
was rude arch in the main street decorated
with bloody japanese heads. great
slaughter followed. The infuriated soldiers
killed every one they saw. No attempt
to take prisoners was made. Women
and children were hunted and shot as
they fled to the hills with their protectors.
The town was sacked from end to end and the
Inhabitants were butchered in their own.
homes. The van OF the second regiment
reached Fort Ogunsan and found it deserted.
Then they discovered q junk in the harbor
crowded with fngitives- platoon was
stretched across the end of q wharf and fired
into the boat until every woman, man and
child was killed The torpedo boats outside
had already sunk ten junks filed with terror
stricken people. I am Statistic that not more
than 100 Cinnamon were killed In fair battle at
Port Arthur, and that at least 1000 unarmed
men were put to death.
