The BRITISH SEALING CLAIMS.
United States Secret Service Agents Report
S45O. 900 An Excessive Award.

Washington, Oct. 16.-When the late
Secretary Gresham urged Congress to ap
propriatc $3.50, 900 to pay the claims of the
owners of British scaling vessels, which
had been seized by the United States
revenue cutters in BehriDg sea. 1t was
claimed that the amount which had been
offered by the state department, and ac-
cepted by the British authorities, through
Sir Julian Pauncefote, was excessive, al
though 1t was so per cent. less than the
sum asked by tie Canadians.
The administration, however, was
determined to force Congress to appropri-
ate the money, and every possible means
was taken to make the Senate put the
item in an appropriation bill.
The expose made by the Mail and Ex-
press and other papers, however, convinced
Congress that there was no need of hasty
action, and, therefore, although the late
Secretary Gresham spent days at the Capt.
toll, the Senate refused to listen to the
appeal, and the appropriation for the
award was not made.
As has been announced in these dis
patches, the commission suggested by the
Paris tribunal to settle these claims will
meet in Washington this week. The date
set was last Saturday, but Sir Julian
notified Sscretarty Olney that he could
not reach here In time and asked for a
postponement
During the last few months the state
department has sent special secret agents
to the Canadian ports from which the
seized Canadian sealers operated, and,
greatly to the surprise of the officials,
every one of these agents reports that
$3.50, 600 was far In excess Of the value of
the seized crafts.
These reports have created much dis
turbancc in the department, and have
been kept as secret as possible. The
British representatives, however, have an
linking of the state of affairs, and when
the commission meets it will try to off
set the reports of the experts with data up
holding their excessive claims

1t is reported throughout the Northwest

broadcast over tie Northwest calling up-
on the farmers to hold their wheat as the
capitalists of the country were manipulate
ing the price in order to make fortune
for themselves. They claim to have posi-
tive information that the price will adj
vance from 25 to so per cent. inside of a
few months, and they will therefore con-
tlnue to hold it.

A HORRIBLE BURIAL CUSTOM.
The Most Repulsive Method known o
Disposing of the Dead.


In Ching-che-Li one of the most north
ern districts OF Tibet, n burial custom cx-
lists which writers on such subjects say is
the most repuisive manner of disposing of
the dead that is known to be practiced by
any civilized or savage tribe in existence
The dying person is never permitted to
pass away naturally but is dispatched
with IL sacred" club kept for that purpose
rs soon as he or she is announced as being
beyond all hope Of recovery. The corpse
is Immediately stripped and painted--rcd
in the case OF males yellow if female
and the head drawn down between the
knee; and firmly bound in that position
Next the corpse is carried to corner of
the room, where it is allowed to remain
until the first night of the new moon, no
odds if thaS date should be full four
weeks from the day of death. As soon as
the new moon is seen in the west the
corpse is removed from the corner with
much ceremony and suspended in raw
hide bag from one of the rafters, or from
Il corpse hook" in the ceiling. After
hanging thus suspended for seven days
and nights the remains are taken down
and sent to the corpse cutter, u sort of
governmental undertaken. " This impor-
tant individual ties the body to post and
removes the dccaying flesh, which is fed TO
the countless swarms of wolves and wild
dogs which infest that portion of the
orient.
After the flesh has all been carefully re-
moved the bones are macerated in lime
water and then pounded into jelly in
mortar specially kept for that purpose.
This hOrrd mass is then miyed with hits
of refuse meat, grain, flour and vegetables
and fed to the dogs, hogs and vultures In
case the subject has lived past certain
limit-this standard varies among differ
ent tribcs-the skull is not consigned to
the bone mortar, but is carefully dried
and worked up into sacred buttons and
"charm disks Finger and wrist bones,
as well as teeth and nails, may also be re-
served in special cases, in which event
they are invariably made into necklaces
arlnlcts and anklets and worn by sorrow
ing friends or relatives. Louis Repub-

NERVOUS DEBILITY.
The Modern Form Of the Remedy is Dir.
CharcOt,s KoIn Nervine TabIefs-Aiiike
speedy and Certain.

Any modern physician will tell you OF
the virtues of the West African Kola nut
as an inyigorator, sure specific for all
nervous complaints, repairer OF waste
tissues and provoker of energy. For
centuries the Kola nut has been used by
natives of the Dark Continent as nat
ural and harmless sustsiner OF labor,
preventer Of fatigue and general preser-
yer Of health Modern research has
shown that the nut has wonderful and
certain effects upon the nerves, brain,
blood and muscles. DIR. Charcot the
most eminent specialist of his day in ner-
yous diseases, has prepared prescription
after studious research and careful expert
ment His belief in Kola Is endorsed by
DR. Shoemaker Of Philadelphia, DIR. Gihon
of the United States Navy, Drs. Monnet
Heckel and Du Bots of France, DR.. Man
nassein of Russia, DR. Schlagdenhauffen
OF Germany and many others equally reli-
able and famous.
DIR. Charcot's Kola Nervine Tablets are
compounded upon the great prescription
and from freshly imported, undricd kola
nuts.
They are sure specific in all cases OF
nervous debility, neuralgia, nervous
dyspepsia, exhaustion, impoverished blood
and melaDcholia. They renew the body's
vigor and prevent undue fatigue. They
are an absolute boon to those cursed WIN
slecpessncss, rcstlessness and unnatural
lassitude and fatigue. They are both
speedy and effectual and wherever they
have been introduced have leaped at once
into lasting public favor.
