RIGHTS OF ASYLUM
Secretary Gresham Lays Down
Rules for Guidance of Mer-
chant Captains.
MUST GIVE UP FUGITIVES
If Proper Warrants for Arrest
Are Presented While
in Port.

WASHINGTON, April 1S-Secretary
Gresham has laid down some doctrine
touching the rights of merchant steam
ers in foreign ports to afford asylum to
refugees that may be Of great import
ance to commanders Of vessels. This
was called out by letter addressed to
the state department in December, 1894,
by G. p. Huntington, 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 responded
that the sO-called doctrine of right OF
asylum having no application to mer-
chant vessels in port, it follows that a
shipmaster can found no exercise Of
discretion on the character Of the Of
fense charged against the refugee.
While no general rule can be laid down
as a comprehensive principle, a mer.
chant vessel in foreign port is
Within the Local Jurisdiction
Of the country with respect to the Of
fences or offenders against the laws
thereof, and an orderly demand for the
surrender Of q person accused OF crime
by due process of law, with exhibition
of q warrant of arrest III 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 capture a passenger by
force may call for disavowal, when
the resort to violence endangers the
lives Of the innocent and the property
Of friendly nation.
AQuestion OF Discretion.
Whether, if force be threatened. the
master Of . vessel is justified in putting
in jeopardy by his resistance the inter-
ests confided to his care, must be
largely question for his discretion.
That the passengers may have come
on board at the port where the demand
is made, or at another port of the same
country, is immaterial to the right of
jurisdiction.
The secretary concluded with an ad-
monition to American merchant cap
tains to permit the orderly operation of
the law in foreign ports on their ships,
and thus avoid application for asylum
of refuge and the occasions for the ex-
hibition of arbitrary force against their
ships.

A Successful Experiment. Made In Cali
fornia.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 18 The first
experiment ever made in the telegraph
ing Of pictures for long distance was
made by The Call, when an outline
picture Of she entry of the queen OF the
fiesta at Los Angeles was wired from
the latter place to this city.
The experiment was successful.
Charles Willoughby Of this city is the
inventor Of this scheme. The inventor
believes his idea to be most valuable in
newspaper work, or in the police or
secret service. If the success of the
process is demonstrated he will estab-
lish agencies in this city, Chicago, New
York and Washington. A good picture
can be sent at the cost Of and in about
the space Of $50 words, and if not too
elaborately drawn will take no longer
than half an hour to send and repro
duce diagram. The picture is drawn
originally upon paper ruled of
into small squares each about one
tenth Of an inch. in diameter.
Each vertical line is numbered along
the upper margin, and each horizontal
line il lettered down the slate. Every
square is therefore identified with d
number and letter and it's location ii
where the two lines designated cross
each other With the original drawing
before him the operator describes the
course Of the lines from point to point
and the message contains only as many
signs Is combInations and directions in
the lines forming the picture.

ST. PAUL, April lS.-A Washington
special to The Dispatch Gays: Some Of
the radical and no-ccmpromise free
silver coinage men are now making q
startling claim. Daring the last week
q story has become current that the
British under secretary of'state to India
George n. Curzon,, the future Lord
Scarsdale, is a bimetalist, and that he is
the probable successor Of Balfour or
Chamberlain in the house of commons.
Curzon is coming here to wed Miss
Mary Letter next week, and it is said
that the union may have
A Political Significance
which will have considerable bearing
on possible international monetary
conference and England's attitude i'll
regard to the matter. Unlike the ma
jority of the titled aristocracy who seek
matrimonial alliance in America,
Mr.. George Curzon is young
man Of genius and talent. He
Is newspaper man of rare
ability, the close friend of Lord Sails
bury and Mr.. Balfour, and is closely
identified with the Conservative and
Liberal Unionist alliance. 1t is we'll
known that this element is in favor of
the conference, in fact it is said that a
rupture in the alliance between Con-
servatives ana Unionists may result
from Mr.. Bakour's late utterances in
which he advocated some agreement
toward all international. monetary
proposition, and England's position
with reference to it.
Too Many for the Tories.
George N. Curzon, during his stay in
India, wrote series of letters that at
tracted much attention. These letters
were published in the London Times
and the Rosebery ''set," to which the
Prince of Wales and the ultra elite in
social and political affairs belong, un.
dertook to call Mr.. Curzon down, but
the young man proved too many TO,
the tories, and has established reputa.
tion for leadership that promises we'll
in the future.
Mrs Curzon has visited the United
States before, and it is said that he has
made very careful study Of the finan
cial condition and independent relations
which exist between his governmen,
and that Of the United States. He
may not be a free silver man, as il
claimed by the radical element here,
but he is in advance of his day in Eng
land, and foresees the inevitable by
predicting that international bimetal
lism is the one and only method tt
maintain peace and prosperity between
the great powers. His marriage in on.
Of the wealthiest American familie.
will add to the friendly feelings already
existing between the element he repre-
sents in English politics and the ele
ment which favors international agree
ment in the United States.

There was now no time for Russell
to escape. The only hope for either
himself or the girl lay In bis ability to
overcome the infurated animal. Had
he been armed, even with pitchfork.
this would not have been 30 dlficult,

the man must be impaled on the sharp
horns Of the beast or borne down and
trampled to death.
Just an the bull was upon him, how.
