child of Mackie. the shell man at the beach.
The horse became frightened on Main

Both ladies and the children were thrown

Office of DR.. ". J. May bury. were it was

They were taken to Old Orchard in q hack.
the doctor and officer Renick accompany

conscious all the time, but recovered soon
after reaching home and proved net so bad
ly hurt as the other.
Miss Morrill,, who is a Newfoundland girl,
employed as house girl by Mr.. Mackie.

severe internal injuries, and her recovery
very doubtful. She is about 20 years old

Kirkpatriok's husband is the driver of the
Old Orchard engine, and she is we'll known

Washington, January 17.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British am bassador,
called at the Treasury Department this
morning and discussed with Secretary
Carlisle the preparation of the new seal
regulations for the approaching season.
A serious matter in connection with the
subject is the enormous cost to the
United States of maintaining a patrol
feet in Behring Sea, which seems alto
gether out of proportion with the results
obtained. The discovery that seals can
be killed with almost as much facility
on the fishing banks, 80 miles from the
Pribilov Islands, and outside the prohib-
tied zone, as on the islands themselves,
seems to render the preservation of seal
life homeless. To undertake Joint pa
troll of the Behring sea is a useless ex-
pepse as far as the United States is con-
cerned. Officials familiar with the seal
q question concur IN the opinion that the
paris award provides no adequate means
for preventing the determination of the
fur seal by British Columbian poachers.

YALE STUDENTS sNEEzINe.
There is an Epidemic of Grip at the Uni
versity.

New Haven. Conn.,. January IL Grip is
prevalent at Yale just at present. During
the past week the cases have multiplied un-
til the attendance at many recitations is
seriously diminished and the scientific de-
partment seems the worst affected, many
classes there mastering about half the
enrolled number. The dormitories of the
academy department contain many cases of
d;stemper but not to SO great an extent as
expected. The faculty are granting sick
excuses almost without limit. II is thought
the epidemic is at its hsight in TIE univer-
sity and most Of the sick students will re-
sumo recitations il two or three DAYS.

ates $140.U00.00O for pensions. SSO0.000 fo. ex-
amining surgeons. $72.00o for eighteen

suspend pensions heretofore granted for

raised to the same rate" Mr.. Hawley's

The Apache Indians Called by Uncompli-

Washington, January F.-1n the House
the morning hour was taken up in fruitless
discussion of the bill to purchase additional
ground for the Washington Navy yard.
Then the House resumed consideration of
the Indian appropriation bill, in committee
of the whole, Mr.. O'Neill, Democrat of
Massachusetts. in the chair. A paragraph
in the bill appropriating $225,C00 for the
support and civilization of the Apache and
other Indians in Arizona and New Mexico,
was objected to by Mr.. Bowers. Republican
of California, who wanted the Apaohes
struck out and Navajos inserted. He said
the estimate of the department. for The
Navajos was $780, ,000, but by the wording of
the paragraph there was no assurance that
one cent would be expended for them while
the Apaches, "the spawn of hell and pets
of the church and state." nearly every one
of whom was a murderer of white man,

Washington, January 17.-Secretary
Carlisle went over to the White House
tonight by appointment to discuss with
the President, among other things, the
nominations to the Maine osces under
the Treasury Department., which have
been pending for SO long a time. If an
agreement is reached at this conference
it is probable that the appointments
will be announced this week. The most
important of the nominations to be
made is that of collector of customs at
Portland. which is the largest federal
office in the state. Besides this there
are collectorships at Eastport and Waldo
boro to be considered. The latter place,
it is understood, will be given to MIR.
j. Moore, who held the position under
President Cleveland's former adminis-
tration, it being the intention to waive
the "ex" rule in his case. Mr.. Hanson,
who was nominated to the Eastport col
leetorship last August, but who failed
OF confirmation by reason of the adj
journnient of the Senate, will probably
be reappointed to that place, while the

gard to the delay that has attended the
filling of these Offices. He made an earn
est plea for early action in these mat
ters, and it is probably due to his visit
that Mr.. Carlisle will tonight call the
Presidents attention to them.
