SEC'Y GRESHAM LAYS DOWN LAW,
Rights of Merchant Steamers to
Afford Asylum in Foreign Ports.
shipmaster Must Use His Own Discre-
tion to Considerable Extent
Under Local Jurisdiction.

Secretary Gresham has laid down
some doctrine touching the rights
of merchant steamers in foreign
ports to afford asylum to refugees
that may be of great Importance to
commanders of vessels, says a
recent dispatch from Washington.
This was called out by letter adj
dressed to the State Department in
December, 1893, by G. P. Hunting
ton, President of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, asking for an
exact definition Of the powers of
the captains of merchant steamers
in this respect. The Secretary re-
sponded that the so-called doctrine
of the right Of asylum having no
application to merchant vessels in
port, it follows that the shipmaster
cannot exercise discretion on the
character of an offense charged
against a refugee.
While no general rule can be
laid down as a comprehensive prin-
ciple, a merchant vessel in foreign
port is within the local jurisdiction
Of the country with respect to
offenses or offenders against the
laws thereof, and an orderly de-
mand for surrender of the person
accused of the crime by a due
process of law, with the exhibition of
the warrant of arrest in the hands
of the regularly accredited officers
of the law, may not be disregarded
or resisted by the master of the
ship. Arbitrary attempts to cap
ture the passenger by force may
call for a disavowal when resort
to violence endangers the lives of
innocent people and the property
of friendly nation.
Whether, if force be threatened,
the master of the vessel is justified
in putting in jeopardy, by his re-
sistance, the interests con6ded to
his care, must be largely ques-
toned for his discretion. That
passengers may have come on
board at the port where demand
is made, or at another port of the
same country, is immaterial to the
right of Jurisdiction.
The secretary concludes with an
admonition to the American mer-
chant captains to permit the order
~ operation of law in foreign ports
on their ships and thus avoid ap-
plication for an asylum for re-
fugees and occasions for the ex-
hibition of arbitrary force against
their ships.

The strictest etiquette forbids casual so
cial introductions or the introducing OF
any two people Mt amy time without the
consent Of both parties. 1t Is argued that
people who meet in drawing room as iel-
low guests are introduced. by that mere fact
sufficiently for the social purposes OF the
hour, and they may engage in conversation
| II they choose without the least hesitancy,
both understanding that this interchange
involves no acquaintance beyond the pres
ent occasion. by this arrangement an
awkward silence IL averted, and 1t GER
tainly seems as II the chief argument in
favor OF introducing people" is met,
since, with "the roof as their transient
introduction, they are perfectly at ease
without personal introductions.
| When people are used TO this idea, II II
altogether the most sensible and agreeable
solution of the question. but many social
assemblies demonstrate that a large num-
Der of people are yet waiting 10 be intro
duced, and not without some feeling OF
resentment when this ceremony is neglect
ed. Let it be- understood that any one Is
at liberty TO speak TO fellow guest with
out an introduction; also, that such a talk
does not warrant any subsequent claim Of
acquaintance. II In the course Of this I'M
promptu chat mutual interest Is awaken
ed, either one may later seek an introduc-
ton In due form througb some common
friend. Unfortunately, ,oweyer, most
people will not have 1t that way, and at
every large dinner party men may be seen
standing around stiff and awkward glar-
ing at men whose names they know l.cr
fectly well, but waiting Tor the formalits

"a spiritualist who undertakes TO beai

They very rarely know what kind Of =
case they have to deal with and ara

call for treatment from a man which al
most cost her her life. The patients sya-
TEN was filled with poison. and immedi-
ately after he left she exhibited the same
symptoms as he only in more violent form.
We worked with her two hours before we
were able to Danish the poison.
Il saw a wonderful case OF healing q
snake bite some time ago which, In a man
ner, illustrates the philosophy Of spiritual
healing. While In the country the patient
hna been bitten on the foot by a copper
head snake. and notwithstanding the efforts
| of the doctors, the foot and then the leg
swelled up to enormous size. At last q
| spiritualist was called In to try his hand.
| After he had manipulated the injured mem
bers short time the sufferer was relieved
Of his terrible.pain. A peculiar thing wa
noted in the effect Of the treatment upon
| the healer himself. The longer he hanip
ulsted the leg the more contracted his handi
and arms became. until when be had in
ished he was bent up and twisted just a. 4
he had rheumatism. We then had to make
passes over him until his arms assumed
their normal condition. Spiritual healing
would be more largely followed II 1t wers

EXTENDED CAREER AS A SOLDIER
AND STATESMAN.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.--Secre-
tary of State Gresham died at I:15
o'clock this morning at his rooms
at the Arlington House. Although
bis recovery was practically aban-
doned when severe chill occurred
shortly before 6 o'clock last evening,
the most powerful heart stimu-
lants known to medical science were
injected periodically, and an in
fusion of normal saline solution
was made through an open vein in
the arm. He recovered slightly,
but owing to severe rigors shortly
before II O'Clock he began to fail
rapidly and his vitality began to
ebb. The three physicians saw
that the end was near, and at ~
o'clock withdrew TO the ante
room, leaving in the sick-room only
the members of his family and the
nurses.
Up to that time he had been
conscious and talked at intervals.
His words were full of bravery.
He fully appreciated his condition
and spoke words of hope and
cheer to his stricken wife and
daughter. Sometimes his mind
wandered slightly and went back
to the days of long ago, recalling
incidents of his life and hap iness
in the spring Of his life.
He spoke, too, of his absent son
and private secretary, Mr.. Langis,
whom he loved as son, and who,
like his son, was speeding to hi:
bedside, all too late. Mrs. Gresham
sat at the bedside smoothing hi.
brow and occasionally reading tt
him from Bible passages which hs
loved.
AS the end approached his pulse
became hardly perceptible. Gradu-
ally his eyes glazed and closed
Mrs. Gresham, with noble ano
heroic fortitude, continued to read
the words of the Gospel tc
her dying husband. Her daughter
and son-in-law stood, with bowed
heads, at the side of the couch. Al
I;I5 o'clock his breathing ceased
a peaceful shadow passed over his
pale countenance, his pulse flicker
ed and the sorrowing family was in
the presence of death.
| One of the nurses conveyed the
news that the end had come to tn,
physicians in the next room, ant
they, in turn, brought it to tn,
