crisis has been reached between the
United States aud Great Britain look
ing to the adoption of uniform regu-
lation for the government of the seal
fisheries this season. The British
government positively refuses to re-
enact the regulation oflast year, which
prohibits the carrying of fire arms by
sealing vessels through the zone north
of the 35th parallel during the closed
sealing. The Uuited States officers
look upon this as disastrous TO the
seal fisheries, holding that the result
will be to relieve the pelsgic sealers
of the only restriction which has OPP
Grated to prevent an unlimited
slaughter of the herds. While killing
by fire arms remains illegal, it is real
lied that 1t will be Impossible to en-
force this if arms ca b be freely car
ried. for the sealers would kill freely
unless under the eye bf revenue cut
ter. The attitude of the British gov
eminent is viewed with much dissat
isfaction AT the state department,
where it is regarded hs an evidence of
unwarrantable concession to Canadian
pelagic sailors.

WAsH1NGToN, May 16.-The secre-
tary of the navy has issued an order
revoking the leave of absence granted
to rear Admiral Meale several days
ago. When Admiral Meade became
dissatisfied With his command and
asked to be detached from the North
Atlantic Squadron he also asked for
leave of absence for a year, with per-
mission to 90 abroad, SAYING at the
same time that he would also in day
or two, ask to be reti red The request
to be so detached was Immediately
granted, as was the request for the
years leave of albsenee Then came
the request to be retired, but before
any action could he taken the inter-
view was published which has caused
so much difficulty. No action has
been taken upon the request for re-
tirement, but the action revoking the
leave of absence indicates that the re-
quest for retirement will not be COM
piled with The effect will be to
place Admiral Meade on waiting or
ders subject to any duties at any time
to which the department may desire
to assign him.

The Powers Agree.

WASHINGTON. May t7.-The Japan
ese legation has receIv lived an official
cable stating in substdnc, that final
and satisfactory agreement has been
reached by Japan witlA the European
powers ON the eastern question. This
was to follow the redent settlement
with China. 1t is regarded as closing
the entire subject. Il lis also regarded
as negativing the unofl fetal statements
of Russian newspapers that Russia
would claim protectoFate over Corea.
The reportc of Russia's purposes in
absorbing Corea are not seriously ell
tertained in diplomatic circles. No
such purpose has ever been suggested
in the official correspo1d ence thus far.
China's assertion of a protectorate
over Corea led to the Recent war, so
that it is not likely Japan would re-
gard similar claim BY Russia with
Indifference.

WAsHINGToN, May 17.-Unoflicial
reports resching here are to the effect
that General Campos has advised the
Spanish government to allow him to
institute series OF reforms in Cuba
ms n means of bringing the rebellion
to an end. 1t is stated that the Span
ish minister of colonial affairs has APP
proved the pan and that twill be put
into execution at an early date. 1t
was by such means that General Cam
pos brought the former rebellion to
an end. Spain was slow, however, in
CARRYING out the promised plan of re-
form and it is claimed thai some of
the promises were never kept. This
has stimulated the present outbreak.
Ii is said that an offer of settlement at
the present time, in order to be ac-
ceptable to the rebel leaders would
have to include autonomy or home
rule for Cuba, expenditure of income
from Cuban taxes on internal improve
ments instead of Spanish war and naval
vessels, amnesty to all engaged in the
present uprizing and the full execution
of reforms promised in 1873. The
conservative classes of Cuba are said
TO be anxious fof such a settlement,
and the radical element, it is thought,
is too much reduced by defeats to lose
an opportunity Of an honorable peace
assuring their personal safety.

ELosT ONLY ONE PAIR.


Man who Leased skates Told Thackcray
of but One Loss
Thackeray once asked one of the men
who lots out skates on the Serpentine
whether he had ever lost a pair through
the Smission to exact a deposit, and he
replied that he had never done so ex
cept on one occasion, when the cir
cumstances made it almost pardonable.
A well-dressed young fellow was hay
ing his second skate fastened on when
he suddenly broke away from the
mans hands and dashed onto the ice.
Tl-a next instant a thick-set, powerful
man was clamoring for another pair
Il shall nab him now" he cried, "for
am dab at skating. He was a sher-
IFS officer in pursuit of his prey, and
very animatlng sight it was to watch
the chase. He was, as he had boosted,
first-rate skater, and it became pres
emily obvious that he was running
down his man. Then the young fellow
determined to run a desperate risk for
liberty. The ice, as usual, under the
bridge was marked Dangerous" and
he made for it at headlong speed. The
ice bent beneath his weight, but he got
safely through. The sheriff's officer
followed with equT pluck, but, being
a heavier man, broke through and was
drowned. His skates" said the mar
rator c. the incident, 81 got back after
the inquest, but those the young gen
tleman had on | never saw again"

to the changed conditions resulting
from the war. Lord Ii, son of Ii
Hung Chang, is expected to be the
new Chinese minister to Japan. The
peace settlement will soon be followed
by restoration of diplomatic rela-
tons. Mr.. OloriO, now member of
the Chinese privy council, is mention
ed as probable minister to China. lie
was formerly minister to China and
knows the country thoroughly. Ina
interview Mr.. Olorio tells the Japan
csc that having acquired commercial
access to China it will need much tact
to carry on t:ade with the Chinese.
He says British merchants have al
ready pretty well occupied southern
China, which is the best end. so that
the japanese had better turn their at
tention to the northern country where
the markets are comparatively I'M
touched, although they supply millions
of natives. He gives all the details of
the Chinese trade, showing among
other things that the Chinese never
pay cash for goods.

VIII Surely Land the NJ. W. A. Head ONCE
II Change is Made-Tbe Illinois Caucus
Head Consul Northcott and Head Clerk
Halves to be Re elected.
MADISON, Wis. June 4.-From the
advent of the Rock Island delegation
it has been apparent that the head
Offices Of the NJ. w. A. would be
moved there, although there was a
possibility yesterday and last night
that Peoria would make a deter
mined effort. The Rock Island dele
CATION has prosecuted an active cam
vass with the result that a majority
OF the delegates to the head camp
are wearing Rock Island badges.
The only question now reached is
that Of legality by the opponents of
Rock Island, but it is not expected
that the opposition will be formid-
able, and it is conceded that Rock
Island will be chosen if change is
ordered.
The Illinois state caucus selected
Marvin Quackenbush, OF Dundee, in
place Of G. L. Heydecker, as director.
With this exception it is thought
the old directors will be selected.
The Head Officers.
r. f. Beach, Of Vandalia, is the
caucus choice for head physician,
with DIR. Kerns, of Moline, the
closest competitor. The Indications
point to the reelection of Head Con-
sui w. A. Northcott and Head Clerk
G. w. Halves unanimously, and A.
Il. Hollister, of Madison, as head
banker.
Dubuque undoubtedly will get the
next head camp meeting.

Tralnmen Injured and Enormous Loss In
IA Collision Last Night.
A disastrous railroad accident &C.
Cured between Muscatine and Fruit
land, on the southwest division of the
Rock Island, about 1890 o'clock this
morning, when passenger train No.
IL, which left here at 1:05, speeding
along at high rate over the straight
level track across Muscatine island,
collided with some freight cars
which stood on the main track. The
crash was terrific, demolishing the
engine completely and smashing the
baggage and mail car Immediately
behind it. Conductor Crawford was
among the most seriously injured,
his shoulder being badly bruised and
dislocated. The engineer, George
Hinckley. had one of his limbs
crushed which will necessitate am
putstion and may not recover. The
passengers were all shaken up, but
as far as can be learned, none
were seriously injured.
Crashed Into Stock Cars.
The scene Of the accident is about
four miles south of Muscatine and
about two miles from Fruitland,
where the sidings are. AS the night
was exceedingly stormy and a
cimerian darkness prevailed, the en-
gineer was unable to discern the OBJ
astruction in time to avert the disas-
ter. How the freight cars got on to
the main track is matter of con-
lecture, but it is scarcely to be i'm
agined that any one was fendish
enough to cause such 4 calamity. 1t
is more probable that the wind,
which attained high velocity before
and during the storm, moved the
cars from the siding on to the track,
there being no bar to hold them on
the siding. The engine is badly
wrecked, as are several cars. and the
loss is estimated at $4,000. Pas.
sengers had to plod through the
sand, rain and darkness to Fruitland,
where the operator had to be found
before any message could be sent
DIR. II. NJ. Dean, the railway surgeon
was summoned as soon as the news
came and fastened to the scene t

from Muscatine about $3.50 ant
