This is the last story that Eugene Field
tells on James Wnitcomb Riley, says the
New York Tribune: When Riley gave
some readings on shipboard while return

enthusiastic Scots among his auditors. 'Is
it no wonderful, Donal,'' remarked one of
them, ''that tradesman sud be sic bon

EVANS IS ON HIS EAR.
He Declares For the Union and the
Constitution as He Under
stands It,

NEW YORK, May 16.-The World
has received the following from
Gov. Evans, OF South Carolina:
There is no treason in South Caro-
lima. We are in the union and in
it to stay. We claim the right as
a sovereign state to protest against
all efforts by the judges Of the
United States courts to centralize
this government and destroy our
national and state constitution.
We will obey the DEGREES Of the
court, but will exercise every right
guaranteed American citizens for
the preservation of our liberties.
The principle we are fighting for,
the right of local self government,
is as dear to New York as it Is TO
South Carolina, and cannot be
! destroyed here without ultimately
being destroyed in the union.
"The attempt to nullify our
laws for political purposes under
the pretence of their conflict with
| the constitution of the United
States arouses the righteous indig-
nation OF our entire people. We
confidently rely upon the United
States Supreme court and will
abide by it's decision. We redeemed
our state from Negro domination
and Anarchy in 1875 in spite Of
Grants bayonets, restoring peace,
order and prosperity and will pre-
serve our civilization by lawful
methods il allowed, but we will
preserve it.

To Avert Sealing Seizures.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-The
United States revenue cutter, Com
modore Perry, hurried out Of port
last night on an important mis-
sion. She will make all haste
possible in order to reach
Behring Sea in time to prevent a
fleet OF cutters now heading for the
sealing grounds, from selling any
armed vessels, as is the present in
tention. Upon the fieetness Of the
Perry may depend the warding off
OF serious complications with Eng
land. The latter government has
practically decreed that any inter-
ference with armed sealing vessels
flying the British flag will meet
with retaliation in the shape Of
claims for heavy damages and the
Perry's sudden departure for the
north is considered an indication
that the administration does not
desire to invite any more trouble
with England over the sealing
question.

CHICAGO, May 16.-"If the Ma
tional Sporting club Of London will
give a purse of any amount from a
farthing to $4,000 will box Peter
Jackson for 1t in the arena" hotly
declared Champion Corbett last
night. "The London club is made
up of lot of first class snobs whose

the bigiCalifornian's eyes blazed as
he heaped excavations on the de-
voted heads Of the British
nobility. The champion was
angry through and through while
discussing the latest phase in the
pugilistic situation. Jackson's re-
marks and the refusal Of the Nat.
ional Sporting club to give purse
for him and Corbett was what
particularly raised the latter's ire,
and when asked if he would pay
any attention to the clubs demand
for an apology he could scarcely
contain himself. "What? Apollo
gize to that crowd" he asked.
"Never, for they owe me more Of
an apology than l do them. 1t is

of English aristocracy, can never
make me believe they are half so
manly or honest in their inten-

meeting between Jackson and my

that the snobs over there would
refuse me a purse, for there was

myself eagerly that they may gaze

for the Railroad to continue its

object of pushing it up to Bresux

The impression is that if the

for us here, a switch to st. John,

build said road.
