brilliant In Daylight.

A daylight meteor was seen recently
near Ayrshire, Scotland. It's move
ment was very slow and it shown with
a brilliant, intense light which was
concentrated in itself and did not leave
a train behind it. 1t got gradually
smaller and smaller, and just before
disappearing broke into three or four
pear-shaped portions. During its
course, although the massy head was
always brilliantly white, the little tail
varied in hue, crimson and rich ultra
marine blue being most noticeable.

An Unknown Vessel Wrecked la "a Storm
near East Tawas.-No Sign of the Crew.
What was evidently a large steam
barge has foundered off Sable, her
hull and deck parting. A terrible
norther and snow ragged during the
night She was wrecked. The boats
deck is broken in, and several pieces
of the pilot house is gone. The hurri-
cane deck and the rail forward Of the
pilot house were washed up in one
place, the after hurricane deck with
the whistle pipe, wire and whistle in
another place and the port bulwark
and parts of the main deck is still
another place. There is no report or
sign of any of the crew having reached
shore. Considerable of the wreckage
is covered with ice and snow and no
name can be found on the wreckage.
Nest of the wreclSage was washed
ashore three miles south of Fish Point
and five miles from East Tawas. About
1000 cedar ties and u lot of timber
also came ashore.
From the appearance of the wreck
age the unknown steamer must have
been large class as all her stanchions,
carlins and deck plank are of heavy
material. 1t is now thought that she
was a Canadian Steambargc. Fisher
men report the gale was the worst for
years, and that even had the crew
taken TO small boats they could never
have reached the shore.

Two sailors Burned to Death.

The tug Crusader was burned to the
water edge ut 2 o'clock n. IN. at Sault
Ste. Marie. Henry Billings, of that
city, and Charles Whissmen, of Port
Huron, fircmen, were caught like rats
in trap, and persisted in the flames.
They were sleeping on the vessel.
" hen the flames broke out they spread
so rapidly that the unfortunate men
were unable TO escape from their
sleeping quarters. Other members
of the crew had narrow escapes from
similar fate. When the bodies of the
unfortunate men were recovered they
presented sickening sight. The
bodies were burned to n crisp, and the
arms and legs had fallen off, 4. Morans
pile river, which was tied up near the
Crusader, was also destroyed
The Crusader was owned by Grum
mnnd. of Detroit, and had been sta
toned at the 500 for some months for
wrecking purposes. She was 20 years
old, valued at $4,000.

London Executions and Mobs.

A murderer was executed in New
gate prison, London, the othg day
privately, as the law Directs. A
crowd gathered outside to sec the
black flag hoisted, and behaved in as
brutal and disorderly a way as in the
oldtime public hangings. A delay in
the execution nearly brought on a
riot, and when the flag finally went up
the mob cheered and yelled. 1t is
suggested that the custom be done
away with, as it serves no practical
good.

Mrs. Abpcr Smith, u lady aged So
years, four miles south of Union City,
met with painful death. She had
eaten her supper and sat down for
quiet smoke in room adjoining that

Prospects of Peace.

Toxic, Japan: United States Min
lister Dun has communicated to the
ministry the substance of an important
cable proposition received from Secre
tary Gresham at Washington. II sug-
gests that if Japan will join China in
requesting the President of the United
States to act as mediator in settling the
war he will exercise his good offices n
that capacity. A similar proposition
has been sent to China. The PROPOSE
ton presents grave question to the
ministry. They are urged on one hand
by the popular sentiment to continue
the war and crush China. On the
other hand European powers are
threatening to intervene. As between
these conflicting influences the minis
try find great difficulty in reaching
decision on the American proposition
but the prospect is that it will be ac-
cepted.
Washington: The United States las
not offered herself as arbitrator, but
has suggested that if both China and
Japan join in requesting her services
as mediator they will be given. 1t is
the belief here that China will readily
accept the mediation of the United
States and that japan will do so after
she is assured of the indemnity China
will yield. China has already gone so
far as to notify this government that
it will join Japan in recognizing the
complete independence of Korea,
which would result in the Japanese
evacuation of Korea and the re-esta b.
lishmcnt of the former reigning pow
ers. China has also made known to
this government that it was willing to
pay a cash indemnity TO Japan. 1t has
not stated how much the indemnity
will be and this promises to be seri-
Gus problem. Japan has expended
nearly S15O, OO0,0 600. The situation now
presents an interesting game of inter
national diplomacy. On one hand the
great powers of Europe are threaten
ing to forcibly come between China
and Japan, while on the other hand
the United States offers TO come be-
tween them as peacemaker. As be-
tween the two propositions II is not
doubted that the two contending pow
ers will look to the United states.

IT is significant to note the failure
of the Warren Live Stock Company,
whose herds of cattle, sheep and horses
range the hills of some nine counties in
Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming. The
debts of the company are now s2OO,OOO,
while the assets are s35O,OOO, though a
year ago the same assets we're valued at
$4,000. They include about 1000
horses, $500 cattle, 10000 sheep, and 3d.
600 acres of land. Ex-senator Warren,
president of the company, stated to an
Associated Press reporter that the last
shipment of sheep Melted only 20 cents
a head over cost of shipment, where
such sheep formerly brought over So.
The causes which led to the receiver
ship are stated by Mr.. Warren to be the
free wool scare, the financial stringency
and the labor troubles of the past few
weeks. Up and including 1891, the War
rem Live Stock company ran on it's range
100000 sheep, the largest individual
flock of sheep in the United States. Its
present herds are still, in all probability,
the greatest in the country.

The North Dakota Independent, that
hypocritical preacher of reform, speaks
of the democratic convention as ire
spectacle, if the platform is not" The
TRIBUNE would suggest, that, as a half
dozen of the populist nominees are
clinging with a tenacious eagerness to
that platform, in the hope Of catching
democratic votes, the Independent come
forth and explain exactly the character
of the reformer, who stands with one
foot on a respectable" platform (popu-
list) and the other on a "disrespectable"
platform (democratic}, in the hope of
being elected by the joint strength of
respectable and disrespectable votes. If
the democratic platform is not respect
able, how can the ardent reformers of
the populists harmonic their profess
sions of reform with their positions as
democratic nominees? Stripped of the
hypocrital pretenses and professions Of
reform and reform principles, the popu-
list position is that of the typical office
seeker, who is always willing to sacrifice
everything for votes. 1t must have
been a heartrending sight to witness the
frantic efforts of these respectable"
populists, in their mad rush to get them
selves firmly located on the "d%isrespect.
able" platform Of the democrats, at the
time this latter p'.rty held it's ave
ton! Reform methods, truly. The In
dependents fol-de-rol is just like the
other rantings Of populism. It loses it's
glitter when held up to the light.

The Italian government is preparing
to deport 1000 anarchists. Unless some
thing is done by congress, these worthless
will find q safe refuge in the United
States with plenty of cengenial associ-
ates. They will be just SO great an add
ton to the agitators already here, to
live from the earnings of credulous wage
earnere, breed dissatisfaction and riot
and murder, under the pretenses of re.
form, and incite mobs to violence. It
is this class that Is continually harping
upon the demoralized condition of So
ciety. They are the ones who SOW the
seeds of discord, and what they need is a
Jail cell each, with a moderate allowance
OF bread and water, each time they open
their mouths in public, to the
melting Of rebellion aud riot.
And the quicker the government
puts a stop to the ranting and
rawlings of these social v%ultures, the
quicker a more satisfactory social con-
dition will be established.

ANOTHER complication is added to the
already tangled skein of democracy by
the announcement that Senator Kinter
will have to give up his land Office posi-
ton, order to make the run for governor.
If the senator considers his private inter-
ests, 1t is very probable he will give up
the gubernatorial idea, as, from a fnan-
cial point of view, the certainty of Sena-
tor Klnter's land Office position would be
far preferable to the uncertainty of a
race for the Office of chief executive of
the state. Senator Kinter may have
expected this latest development, but
this is hardly probable. At any rate, the
situation is not a pleasant one. and his
choice will be awaited with interest.

AN interesting fact brought out by
the national investigation Of the city

eign born element is greater in the slums
than in the rest OF the city. For in
stance, in Chicago the total foreign-born
in the city constitute 40.98 per cent. of
the population, while in the slum dis

of the population, while in the slum

CHICAGO is just beginning to realize
that strikes are more expensive than
they seem. Claims for damages are be-
ing fled, some of them reaching up into
the hundreds of thousands. The taxpay-
ers, upon whom the burden of these pay
ments will fall, should ponder long and
carefully owe the protests of Governor
Altgeld against "droobs." Had these
troops been on the scene earlier, Chicago
would not have to foot so large a bill for
damages.

Withdrawing is to be done, it will have
to be done by the democrats. In fact,
the populists are kicking because the
democrats have nominated any candi-
dates at all. There is poor consolation
for the democrats in the attitude of the
pops toward them. The latter have no
use for them except SC far as they will
vote the pop ticket, and the democrats
have sacrificed party, principles and
everything else by endorsing the popu-
lists, and get absolutely nothing in re-
turn. Democracy in North Dakotr oc
cupies a pitiable position.
