The success OF the quadruplet bicy-

haitian Beach during the summer, and
upon which team of evenly matched
wheelmen can make phebomenal time,
has insured machines of this class a per.

machines is quntuple, the first one
ever built, which will be used i'm pacing
Windle, the retired champion, who,
after an absence of two years from the
track, has again gone into training with
the intention of breaking some worlds
records.
The quintuple, which is known as a
Berlo, weighs 1913 pounds and is gearcl
to 1l2. 1t was used IN tests with Windle
at Hartford recently, and was manned
by George Thatcher, Burns Pierce, H..

Embarrassing Hnmape.

At one time the duke of Nellinrton's
extreme popularity was rather embar-
RAISING. For instance, or leaving home,
each day he was always intercepted by
an affectionate mob, who insisted on
hosting him on their shoulders and
asking where they should carry him.
1t was not always convenient for him
to say where he was going, so he used TO
say: Garry me home, carry me home"
and so he used TO be brought home half
a dozen times day few minutes after
leaving his own door,

Summed up in the following sylI"4isns
ne who receives iinaucal support
from party is in dutybound 10 accept
and advocate principles laid down 10y
that party;
Bro. Chase has received tina II
cill support from the republican party
Ergo, Bro. Chase is in duty bound To
accept and advocate principles land
down by the republican party.
He who does not sacrifice principles,
ideas. To party, after receiving financial
support from his party, is traitor;
Bro. Chase refuses To sacrifice his
principles. ideas, after having received
financial support from his party;
Ergo, Bro. Chase is traitor To his
party.
This system of logic and ethics seems
to be that on which every utterance OF
the Herald is based. is god is not
Almighty God. but the almighty dol
lar. Ihe Herald has no principles and
never, under its present management,
has had any which 1t dareS To defend,
except, we may say, such As are in ac.
dord with its Mephistophelean phllos-
| ophy. And this exception need not
have been made; for the Herald dare
not defend even its philosophy; it
rather promulgates it in disguise.
He farther gives us advice as 10
patience and "hobnobbng with dis
gruutled democrats" The Hera d
| would better get an OK team and strong
log chain with which to pull the beam
out of its own eye. Its editor has
been running 4 republican organ fol
two years, and he now knows more
about rcpuhicanism and running re.
publican paper than the angel Gabriel
docs ABOUT trumpet blowing. We sus
pcct that he can give the angel Gabriel
pointers, haging been horn blowing for
two wears. He could give Matthew
Mark, Luke and John pointers; foI
they left out of their works the most
important of all beatitudes according
the McCallian philosophy. blessed
be he that bloweth his own horn; for
then ii shall be bowcd."

SEAL TREATY RATIFIED
Few Changes Made in the Agree.
ment With England.
TO MEET AT SAN FRANCISCO
Commission VIII Assess Damages
Inflicted on Canadian Sealers by
the Vessels of the United States.
Little Opposition Shown TO the
Ratificuti ion.

After discussion OF a little more than
half an hour the. Senate yesterday after
noon in executive session ratified the
treaty between the United States and Great
Britain, providing for the appointment Of
commission TO assess the damages alleged
10 have been sustained by Canadian sealcrs
whose vessels were seized by the govern
meut OF tie United States for alleged IL
legal sealing.
The treaty provides that each govern
mcnt SHALL appoint one commissioner, ana
If they cannot agree the President OF the
SWISS republic Is Ia select a third. The
commission as provided for il the original
treaty was To sit al Vancouver, but an
amendment was inserted that the commits
sion shall also be allowed TO sit at San
Francisco.
The only other amendment OF any inn
portance-and even that is said TO be un-
important-is the eXpuDging of tie word
award from the text of the convention
where reference is made to the proceed
ings of the Paris tribunal, this govern
ment contending that the Paris tribunal
did not make any award on the question
OF DANA SeS; that il went even further and
refused to consider that question at all.
PRACTICALLY UNAMENDED.
Otherwise the treaty is as signed by Sir
Julian Pauncefote and Secretary olney.
When Senator Sherman called IL up
Yesterday there was disposition on the
part Of some Senators 10 postpone action
until The return to the Senate of Senator
Morgan, but this was deemed to be inn
practicable, owing to the uncertainty as
TO when Mr.. Morgan would be able 10 re-
sumo his duties.
Mr.. sherman notified the Senate that
the State Department was exceedingly
anxious TO have the matter disposed OF
ut the earliest opportunity, and he further
stated that If the Senate intended TO ratify
the convention at all il might as well be
done now as at any other time, and thus
oblitcrate the idea that WIS held by some
that this government was trifhng with
the subject.
Briefly he explained the provisions of the
treaty and thought il would Dc better not
10 await the return OF Mr.. Morgan. Other
Senators appeared 10 be content 10 ac-
cept The Judgment of the Committee on
Foreign Relations.
SEAL OF SECRECY NOT REMOVED.
The text of the convention was theu read
dt length. but little attention being paid
- it, the Senators, other than members or
the committee, occupying the TIME III writ
ing letters.
Mr. Sherman indicated the character OF
amendments 5 ana then movedthe ratification
OF the instrument as amended. The raufl-
cation was agreed 10 without the Iornlality
of vote ana with uDanlnIity that was
uneNppCted. MAShcrman fro wned down
stis .pstion TO remove The Injunction or
secrecy from lie treaty and ii WILDE printed
ana filed Il way among the secret archives
OF tbe Senate.
