In the House.
Washington, January 16-In the House
today Immediately after the reading OF
the journal, Mr.. Grow rose to question
OF privilege. and sent to the clerks desk
to be read the following extract from a
phamplet issued by the New York Cham
Der of Commerce relating to the dispute
between the United States and Great
Britain; "Then came the Alabama
claims, and the fisheries dispute, the first
being in our favor and the latter against
US, each side accepting the decision and
paying the award like business men.
Then came the seizure of Canadian seal
ing vessels of the United States in
Rehring sea, which was arbitrated and
about $500, 900 awarded to the owners of
the seized vessels, which has not been paid
owing to the failure Of Congress to make
an appropriation therefor, and which we
are in honor bound to settle without
further delay"
Mr.. Crisp made the point that the
matter read presented no question OF
privilege.
Mr.. Grow responded that in his opinion
the matter was question of privilege,
because If trne the House was derelect in
the performance of it's duties, in that it
failed to keep promise to which the
national faith was pledged. But, he said,
the statement was not true, the Paris
tribunal expressly declined to arbitrate
the question of damages.
Z What Congress had refused to do was to
vote about $500, 0GO which the Secretary
OF State had offered to pay in settlement
OF the claims on account of the seized
vessels. It was shown, he said. that two
thirds OF the claims were for vessels
owned by Americans who had made
sham sales of them to Canadians SO that
claims for damages might be made.
MI Crisp called the gentleman from
pennsylvania to order, and the Speaker
ruled that no question of privilege had
been made out.

Washington. January 16.-A favorable
report was made to the Senate to-day on
Mr. Frye's bill authorizing the delegates
of the United States to the Washington
International Marine Conference of 1889
to reconvene at the discretion of the Sec
rotary of State. The bill is intended to
give auth GRITTY in the event Of certain
contingencies The conference of 1899
agreed upon certain rules of the road to
prevent collisions at sea. These rules
were authorized by law by the United
States and every other power participant
ing, with the exception of Great Britain
English sesmen objecting to some of the
fog signals agreed upon. For three
years the matter has been held in abey-
ance, owing to the slow movements of

lsismarck's Fnteful Pipe.

Prince Bismarck is great pipe col
lcctor, and the gem Of his collection has
curious history. Many years ago, as
Bismarck was strolling in the suburbs
of Friederichsruh with his two hounds,
he was accosted by Bohemian peddlor
and asked to buy plain meerschaum
pipe Of the type that Bismarck most af-
fcctcd. At first Bismarck declined, but
tho redGlcr claimed for the pipe Il power
of forecast and told him he would servo
three cmperors as minister, and that
three important changes in his life
would be foretold by accidents Detailing
the pipe,
Laughing, Bismarck bought the pipe.
He has since served three emperors.
Two days before the historic moment
when he was refused an audience tho
stem Of his pipe separated and went to
pieces. Later he Clipped Il piece from
the side of the bowl, and within a
month he was practically dismissed by
the present emperor. The third sign has
yet to come. Berlin Correspondent

A Story Which Newsone Believes Because
Anderson Is Cross Eyed.

A Story Which Ncwsone Believes Because
Anderson Is Cross Eyed.
J. e. Newsome is Port Arthur Ca
madam and Alex Anderson comes from
Pearl River. An Englishman named
Atwell wanted to get bear, and An
derson tried to crafty his desire.
Newsome told Forest and Stream about
it. Atwell was the kind Of man who
would like to kill bear in trap, so
Anderson took two bear traps and a lot
Of bait up gully near Ouimet, looking
for sign. The Englishman went look
ing for bears and left Anderson to set
tho traps.
All Of sudden big che bear ap-
peared before Anderson at the foot of a
tree between a couple Of whose roots
one trap was to have been set Not hav
ing any gun, Anderson, so Newsome
says, determined that hypnotic force
had to be used, and that suddenly. An
derson looked the bear in the eyes, and
the bear paused; then Anderson made
three passes with his hands. The bear
leaned its head forward and its eyes
bulgcd out. Having satisfied himself
that the bear was properly influenced,
Anderson yelled for Atwell, but Atwell
was good way off, and before he could
arrive the she bears 2-yearOld and
yearling cub came out Of the tree at tho
same time. A yearling cub alone would
be a pretty bad fighter ut close quarters,
especially with a hypnotized mother
bear near by liable to come to at any
moment, but 2-ycar old cub and a
yearling both at once made mighty
serious matter
But Anderson was fully equal to the
emergency. He managed to look at the
bears four eyes at once and soon had
them subjugated. Newsome says that
he would not have believed Anderson )
tale only Anderson is now cross eyed,
which he wasn't before, owing to his
looking both bears III the eyes at once.
