THEY LIKE OUR CRUISERS.
Great Britain and France to Build
Some Modelled After the Min
neapoIiS.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 16.-The Brit
ish and French have taken alarm at
the splendid performance of our two new
triple-screw cruisers, the Columbia and
the Minneapolis. For long time this
great departure in naval engineering so
successfully practiced by Engineer Chief
Melville was looked upon with suspicion
by foreign naval powers, and indeed
there were many criticisms in our own
navy who predicted the failure of the
vessels, but now all opposition seems to
have disappeared and both Great Britain
and France are about to pay us the COM
pliment of building vessels of this type
and even endeavoring to improve u Il
the originals. The British naval pro-
gramme for this year includes the con-
struction of four improved Blenheims,
the Blenheim being a sister ship to the
armored cruiser Blake" which took
part in our naval review in 1893. The
French naval authorities are also about
to build two "croiseurS cOrSaire." These
are intended as answers to the American
pirates as vessels Of the Columbia
class have come to be known, in spite of
the efforts of the navy department to
prevent the name from sticking.

AN ACTRESS MURDERED.
Madge Yorke Shot and Killed al
Philadelphia by Actor John
Gentry.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. .1S.-Madge
Yorke, a soprano singer with the Bag
gage Check company, was shot and al
most instantly killed last night at the
Zess hotel, this city, by James p. Gentry,
a comedian of Golfers Back Number
company. Gentry escaped and up to a
late hour had not been captured.
At 9 o'clock Gentry walked into the
hotel office and asked to be shown to
Miss Yorke's room. Being unknown to
the attaches of the house, he was told to
wait q few moments A message was
then sent to the girls room, but Gentry
did not wait. He walked out into the
Hallway and assembled by means of the
stairway.
Miss Yorke and Miss Ida Clarke, a
member of the company, were in the
formers room, practicing songs, when
Gentry opened the door and walked in
unannounced Miss Yorke manifested
some surprise at seeing him, and intro
duced him to Miss Clarke. After hastily
acknowledging the Introduction, Miss
Clarke says, Gentry turned to Miss 4orke
end. in an angry tone, demanded:
why dill you not meet me today!
Before the girl could answer, he whipped
out a revolver from his pocket and fired
three shots at ner, each bullet taking eff
fect-one over the right eye; one in the
center of the forehead and the third clcse,
to the temple.

a hard tow, and it is not likely that the

4 SEAL COMMISSION.
President Will Ask Great Britain,
Russia and Japan to
Unite.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 16-Import-
int action upon the seal fisheries of the
Behring sea was taken today by the
House committee on ways and means. 1t
was agreed to authorize the President to
invite the governments of Great Britain,
Russia and Japan to unite with the
United States in sending a joint COM
mission to investigate the seal fisheries
OF the North Pacific and Behring sea.
The President will be authorized to ar
range modus vivendi With these powers
for the protection of the seals until the
report of the commission has been made
and acted upon. The secretary of the
treasury will be empowered to take
steps to kill the seals under the terms of
the Dingley bill in case the nations re-
fuse to join with the United States in
an investigation.
Representative Dingley of Maine says
the point raised in the ways and means
committee that the Paris arbitration and
the governments contract with the Alas
Kan Commercial company are bars to the
adoption of his resolution for killing the
Behring sea seals, could be overcome by
inserting IN the resolution the word STE
male" and proceeding to kill the female
seals, since the company is only permitted
to kill the males by the terms of the con-
tract.
The Paris arbitration, Mr. Dingley
says, is generally conceded to have been
failure in its results. The government
entered into the arbitration for the pur-
pose of ena citing regulations for the bet
ter protection of seals and as the regu>
iations have failed to accomplish their
object he sees no reason why the govern
ment should not give notice to the other
parties that unless they unite with the
United States to protect the seals effect,
lively, this government will proceed to kill
them. The Paris tribunal erred, Mr..
Dingley says, in supposing that the es>
adjustment of a sixty mile zone and the
prohibition of killing by firearms would
accomplish the preservation of seal life.
1t has been found that the seals can be
killed quite as easily with spears as with
guns.
Mr.. Dmgley says, is is conceded that
the herd have been decimated from sew
eral millions to about 100000 seals and
that at the present rate of destruction
they will be eXterminated in four or five
years at most-possibly within three

the same grounds. he refused a re-nomi-
nation to the state Senate.
Mr.. Gray was a delegate-at-large from
Indiana to the Liberal Republican CON
