JUSTICE HARLAN's OPINION.
A Supplementary Proceeding in the Beh.
ring Sea Litigation.


Washington, December 31.-Pursuant
to resolution adopted by the tribunal
in the Behring sea case, at the last con-
ference, by which the right was reserved
for each of the arbitrators to file with
the secretary of the tribunal before Jan
uary /, 1894, opinions upon the questions
to be regarded as an annex to the pro-
tocol of that day, the opinions in full of
Justice Harlan and Senator Morgan,
arbitrators fo the United States, were
filed in Paris, yesterday, and emhody
what was said by them. Justice Harlan's
are five in number. Two relate to the
competency and power of the tribunal to
make regulations for the North Pacific
ocean, as well as Behring sea; one, to
the question of the jurisdiction and
rightssasserted and exercised by Russia in
Behring sea to 1867, when Alaska was
ceded. to the United States, one, to the
question OF property IN seals and the
right of the United States to protect
them against pelagic sealing, and one to
the subject OF regulations Upon the
question as to the power of the tribunal to
make regulations for the North Pacific,
the views of Senator Morgan and Justice
Harlan prevailed. Justice Harlan dis
eusses the question of jurisdiction and
the nights asserted and exercised by
Russia in Behring sea at considerable
length. He then says: Although animals
ferae naturae, however valuable to the
world, are not subjects of property, while
in the original condition OF Witness, the
law will recognize right of property in
them in favor of one who causes them
to abide for statedss.periods upon his
premises so that he is in a position to
deal with the race as q whole, taking
the increase regularly for commercial
purposes without impairing thesss.stock "
Justice Harlan reviews the case presented
by the United States upon which it asks
Judgment at the hands of the tribunal,
sustaining the claim to own the seals
when temporarily absent on the high
seas in quest of food. On the question of
the right of the United States to protect
for sale the fur seals against pelaeic
sealing, he says the claim of the United
States to own fur seals rests in law upon
a sound foundation. The next inquiry is
whether it may protect it's property.
There can be but one answer to the
question. Does the right of the United
States to protect these animals from ex-
termination by pelagic hunters depend
upon the ownership of the herd. While
The seals are beyond jurisdictional limits
il the high seas? Does that country,
have such a special pecuniary interest in
the preservation OF the race? Nav it
consistently, with the law of nations and
Independently of any right of property
in the herd interpose, if need be by force,
to prevent wanton destruction while
absent from the Pribylotf Islands"

A Mag Steam Generator.


A Stag steam generator, for utilizing
the waste heat contained in the furnace
Stag for this production Of steam for mo-
tive power purposes, has been designed
by an Australian inventor. The ma
chine consists of a steel shell in the
form of strong egg ended receiver,
having daitened faces on the top and
bottom, and Through these fiat portions
a number Of Galloway tubes arranged
In two rows and tapered from inches
at the top to 10 inches at the bottom
are passed, secured to the shell by
hanges. The lower or larger end of each
tube is closed by means Of cast iron
door manipulated by means of con-
venient lever, and the upper end of each
tube is provided with funnel for con-
veying the Stag into the tubes, pair Of
iron rails also passing across the upper
face of the boiler and all the tunnels,
thus serving as track for. the Stag
pots. At each end f:the boiler bin
is provided, into which the skin of the
Stag is dumped, which always sets on
the cast iron pots from which it is pour
ed, and this redhot material living
against the ends of the boiler plates
serves to conserve the heat.-New York

AT this festive season of the year, a
season at which each man yies with
his neighbo in the making of some gift
to the members of his immediate family
and friends, it is peculiarly fitting, that
the UNIQUE advantages of Life Insur-
ance should be kept in view The ten
dency of the age is to be PRACTICAL,
and it is therefore worthy of note by
those who contemplate making holiday
presents, that nothing can exceed for
benefieenoe and solidity Life Policy
which will in the event of the death of
the bread-winner protect the Home and
afford nurture and sustenace to the
bereaved, be they old or young. 1t does
not require any very vivid fight of
imagination to comprehend the possibili-
ties of a fifty-fold return consequent up
on an outlay for the acquisition of Life
Insurance; whereas, similar outlay up
on something more pleasing to the eye
and possibly of perishable or breakable
nature could not afford the solid and
lasting benefit to be obtained by and

Newark, December 3O.-The descend
ants of William Penn, the founder of
Pennsylvania. are pressing claims to
money and land aggregatlng the gigantic
sum of $55. 100000. Nearly all of the

worth Of land in the state of Pennsyl-
vania, including acres and acres of
grounds in the very heart of Philadel-
phia, upon the part Of which ground

passed down from the progenitor of the
family. The bank book is now declared
to be in the possession of Stephen Penn,

been found impossible to obtain.
This Stephen is alleged to be broker,

JUDGMENT AGAINST The cHickc0
CAPITALIST IN THE
TEXAS CAPITOL SCHEME

The Plaintiff, william sturges.
Went Crazy During the Trial
End OF Famous Law Suit in
Which Texas Got Capitol
Building and Gave Away Three
Million Acres OF Land.
CHICAGO, June 21.-Judge Tuley this
afternoon read his opinion III the
Sturges-Farwell litigation. 1t is find
Ing for Mrs. Sturgcs OF $4,000 In the
suit against J. V. and e. 3. Farwell and
Abner Taylor, on the Kensington COLI
tracts, to be paid in ninety days. with 5
per cent Interest; finding for William
Sturges for 1890. to be credited on
note for $4,000, made in Jane, 1889,
and due the syndicate.
Judgment is also entered in favor of
j. V. Farwell for use of the syndicate
against William Sturges for $29, 500,
payable in ninety days.
In the Marquette contract. where $751;
600 was deposited, the court gives j. ".
Farwel $1,000. and the balance of
$4,000 to Mrs. Sturges.
The $4,000 ordered paid to Mrs.
Sturges is on the capitol contract. which
was the main matter of litigation. The
court holds that. while Mr.. Sturges was
not regularly employed. yet his services
were accepted by the company. and
must be paid for. The court overrules
the contention that Mr.. Stur2es' sery-
ices were OF no value. and holds that he
did good work for the company.
The litigation which is ended br this
final arbitration has extended over a
long series of years and involved a
claim for over $2,OOO.OOO for services
rendered by William Sturges in pro-
noting the Texas capitol scheme. The
capitol was to have been built at cost
OF $l,50o000 by John V. Farwell, of
Chicago. his brother. ex-senator Charles
b. Farwell, and Abner Taylor. They
were to receive from the state of Texas
100000 acres of Texas land stocked
with 10000 head of cattle. The build
lug cost more than was expected, and to
obtain funds Sturges attempted to in.
tcrest foreign capitalists, being
promised, he claimed. 30 per cent of all
profits over S3,000.OO0. The dispute
was over the value of his services: MIR.
Sturges is now in sanitarium, his
mind having failed during the pro
ceedings.

case is making matters decidedly
unpleasant for the plaintiff. She
is getting something of what she
dished up for her husband. or
course. the gay Mr.. Williams figures
in it all. and the testimony adduced
shows that he must be very vigorous
fellow in spite of his age. Mrs. S. G.
Sandquist, formerly domestic In the
Williams family, testified yesterday
morning that Mrs. Carpenter was
frequent caller at the Williams resi- :
dence. and she was obliged to co Mess
that her visits were much more fire.
quent when Mrs. Williams was away.
On one location when Mrs. Williams
was away from home Mrs. Carpenter
called. 1t being about shutdown, Mr..
Williams informed the domestic she
could 60 out for the evening If she
chose. tBut Mrs. Sandqulst was foxy
and did not choose 10 go out. He then
sent her into the garden to perform
some work, and she noticed the lights
went out as soon as she had stepped out
0f.the house.
The defense rested at this point of the
case, and Mrs. Carpenter was placed on
the stand in rebuttal. She denied all
her husbands stories, and that she had
ever acted in manner unseeinly with
Williams. The case dragged during the
afternoon, and the audience became
slightly Wearied.

CD. Rilly. of the Labor Problem, APP
peared before the park board committee
on shore rights and privileges yester-
day, apropos Of the Fourth of July cele-
bration at Minnehaha Park, at which
Gen. Coxey is billed to speak. Several
members of the board were in favor of
resembling the permit granted to Mr..
Rllly for his attractions, it being the
opinion that the latter had altogether
too much Of snap. After an animated
discussion it was decided that a bond
should be given by Rilly for the preser-.
walton of the peace, etc, aud the details
of the matter will be arranged at a
meeting to he held tonight.
The ex-president Of the park board,
G. NJ. Lurlng, was present during part
of the meeting. lie expressed it as his
opinion that to let the park be used for
any such purposes by private parties
was entirely against the ethics of park
management. He did not know who
MIR. Rilly was, and thought that the
charging of admission to any part of the
grounds was certainly wrong. OF all
days for doing such thing. the great
national holiday was certainly the most
unfortunate time to choose.
Chairman Northrop expressed him
self as opposed to any such celebration,
in that it would be likely to ove1cr0wd
the park and interfere with the pleasure
of others. while Aid. Rand stated he
would rather hear CoXey speak than
any of those United States senators

A Carload OF lnterurban Passen-
gers Face Death.

a Carload OF lnterurOan PaSsen-
gers Face Death.
twenty-five men and women. passen
gers on an interurban car, came within
an ace of being hurled to a dreadful
death yesterday morning. Car No. 100
was on its way to st. Paul. and at 1920
the Washington avenue bridge was
reached. When at the approach to the
bridge jarring sound was heard. and
Motoneer Cravens stopped the car
while Conductor James stepped off to
see what the trouble was. He could see
nothing. so gave the signal to start, and
when about halfway across the bridge
the hind trucks jumped the track. The
car bOwled along over the paving aud
ran onto the sidewalk.
The car stopped within few inches
of the edge of the bridge In fact. the
rear platform projected over. the rail-
ing having been broken down. The
river was hundred feet below, and
death stared the passengers in the faces,
and stared right hard, too. Frightened,
they rushed back and t"rew themselves
onto the conductor. who was obliged to
fight them back again. Had he not held
his post, all would have been hurled
into the river. The passengers finally
got out of the front of the car and the
danger was over. Several of the ladies
were pr0strated with fright. and did not
recover for some time after the accident
occurred. Praise is due to both the
conductor and the motoneer for the
GOODNESS and bravery displayed in man
aging the crowd of passengers.
