THE SEAL QUESTION.

Gen. Foster and Sir Julian PauncefOts
Confer la Regard to Arrangements for
the Behring Sea Sealing Conference,
Which VIII Fake a Much Broader Scope
than at First Anticipated.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1G.-Gen. Foster
and Sir Julian Pauncefote conferred
yesterday as to the arrangements for
the meeting of the British, Canadian
and American representatives relative
to Behring sea. A general under
standing was reached hat the arrival
yesterday of Sir WiIfrid Laurier. the
Canadian premier, and party, would
permit the meeting to open on Thurs.
day, as to-day is likely to be given tc
exchange OF views between the Cana
dams and British.
The British ambassador will accom-
pany the premier to the White House
this morning and Introduce him to he
president. This will be a call of cour-
tesy, however. and it is not expected
that any of the pending questions will
be referred to.
The British embassy has extended an
invitation to Sir Wilfrid to be Il guest
"uAihE hlo obtN hSIC. hS "a NSbSA
mined to remain with the other Cana
dian representatives at the ShOrehan
where quarters had been engaged.
1t is now definitely settled that the
coming meeting will take a much
broader scope than was first antici.
pated. At the outset there will be a
comparison of notes between the seal
experts, Mr.. Hamlin, of the United
States; Prof. Thompson, for Great
Britain, and Prof. Macoun, for canada.
The Canadian premier and Sir Louis
Davies, Sir Julian Pauncefote and
Gen. Foster will be Pa <sent in an un-
official capacity, ready to take up the
larger phases of the question when the
seal experts have concluded their eX-
change of technical information.
1t is said the relations existing be-
tween Great Britain and Canada make
it essential that all questions OF an i'm
periaI characte" should be concluded
by the direct representatives of the
imperial government. At n same time
the presence of the Canadian premier
Is expected TO aSSiStin reaching speedy
conclusions, without the usual delays
OF acting through the British foreign
office.
The formal execution of these con
illusions would devOlve entirely on the
imperial authorities in London and
their representative here, the British
ambassador. IL was said at the state
department yesterday that the first OBJ
ject would be to reach Il settlement on
the Behring sea question, and with
that out of the way there would be
every disposition to Il favorable con
ference on border immigration, Cana
dian-American interests in the kiOn-
dixie, reciprocity and the other qucs-
tions which Sir Wiifrid and his asso-
ciates regard as paramount to the
Behring sea issue.

If the black knot appears on the plum

by saving off the knot and painting the

carbolic acid is added and enough oxide
of iron to give it color.

weather is too severe; but during the
cold days and nights it should have

A "BUSTED"

An Echo of the Recent Affair at Tort
Sheridan, Chicago Corporal New Re-
duced to the Ranks-He Dared to Tell
to the Court of Inquiry What He Knew
of the Actions of Capt. lowering In the
Hammond Case.
CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-Clarence New. I'M
til within 4 week corporal of q. COM
pany, Fourth infantry. L. 5. A.. sta
toned at Fort Sheridan, has been
busted His comrades are told this
in the Post Bulletin.
The expression busted is a slang
word which. in army p%arlance, signi-
ies the reduction of a non-cOmmis-
stoned officer to the ranks without ex-
PLANTATION. No charges of any kind
were preferred against New, he had no
hearing before Il summary court or a
court-martial, he was simply Informed
hat he was unsatisfactory"
The private soldiers charge that New
is the first victim among the witnesses
who dared to tell what they saw and
heard on the day that Capt. Lowering
had Private Hammond dragged by his
feet, and kicked and stabbed the man
while unable to defend himself.
Col. Hall refuses to be interviewed
on the subject. Capt. Edward ii.
Browne of Il. company, also declined
to divulge the reasons for News reduc-
ton. Capt. Browne intimated that it
was nobody's business; Thai it was an
'.impossibilIty" for civilians to have an
appreciation of army methods, espe-
ciaIly when it came to a matter of dis
cipline.
E~x-Corporal New is the soldier who
was ordered by Capt. Lowering to take
charge of the prisoner from the guard
house to the courtroom.
In testifying before the court of in
uuirv he said he had seen the captain
kick and prod Hammond. Continuing.
he said that when they had got he
prisoner into the courtroom and the
rope was taken off Hammond began to
cry, saying that he had been kicked
and stabbed. Hammond had shown
him the marks after he had him taken
back to the guardhouse. One of the
marks in the leg where Hammond had
been prodded was at least a quarter OF
an inch deep.

A HOMEGROWN Experience,

A man went into an icehouse to cool off.
An abrupt and impetuous hired man closed
and locked the door and went away. The
next day was Sunday and the hired man did
not conn back. While the man who yearned
to cool off waited for the return of the hired
man his object was accomplished in a very
thorough manner. He cooled off. The
muiIled door gave bach but echoes to his
blows, and his voice could find no piaCC to
escape and sound the alarm. When he grew
tired of walking and swinging his arms to
keep warm the chunks of ice that were piled
around him did not offer Il tempting bed.
Hunger gnawed at his vitals and refused to
be satisfied with diet of raw air. Darkness
settled down like a six months Arctic night,
and the only sound which broke the pro-
found stiffness was the man who wanted to
cool off trying to swear. The hired man
opened the door on Monday morning, and
the man who wanted to cOol off crawlcd out
more dead than alive. When his tongue had
taawed ont he began to abuse the hired
man. Fool" retorted the hired man.
Fool, you are a lucky dog and do not know
it. Don't waste time in abusing ire, your
bencfactor, but go and write a book of inn
pressions on Alaska" Then the man who
wanted to cool off saw that his fortune was
~made.-Chicago Record.

TREATMENT OF COW S.
Kindness to Live Stock Phys in More
Ways TEAM One.

The fact that dairy cows should be
treated kindly and be kept as quiet and
contented as possible has been stated
and re-stated almost times without
number. Its Importance is sufficient to
justify all the attention which it has re-
ceived. Not only this, but the general
truth which such a statement contains
has a far wider application. All do
nestle animals should receive kind
treatment, and should be kept as COM
Portable as possible. Whether The ami
NAL is kept for work, for breeding pur-
poses, for fattening, or for producing
N any other direction, it is certain that
Inc best results can only be obtained
by treating it kindly. Fear, physical
injury or nervous irritation will certain
~ make the animal less profitable than
it otherwise would be. Perhaps the cow
IS more susceptible to injury from
these causes than any of the domestic
animals, but they all, even including
the pig, will certainly show the effects
of harsh treatment. The kind treat
ment of animals was formerly consiF
cred wholly Il matter of sentiment. and
this side OF the matter should still be re-
garded. Animals should be well treated
because it is right and humane to make
them comfortable. But now ii is known
that cruelty, or even neglect, not only
affects the animals unfavorably, but
also c2uses direct financial loss TO their
owners. Consequently, kindness TO the
- -
the head of policy as well as under that
of principle. This subject is always
timely, but just now, when so many
COWS are coming fresh. and the fatten-
ing season for bullocks is at hand, it
seems worthy of special notice.-Prairii

MISTAKE IN DELIVERY.
Customer Lost because of the Mer-
chants Versatility.

Queer things happen in suburban towns,
where the residents have a way OF utilizing
means at hand utterly regardless OF the con
sequences. Mrs. Simpson, a notable mouse.
wife who lives in one of these terrestrla!
paradises, recently ~replenished her stock or
household furniture at the only depart
ment store in the place and ordered the
purchases sent home that afternoon when
She would be there to receive them.
She was in a particularly happy franc OF
mind as she sat at her front wlndOw watch
ing for their arrival, remarking with satis-
faction the vacant places the new furniture
would adorn, when an undertakers wagon
drove up and stopped in front OF her door
and a solemn looking driver in rusty blacs
descended from the front seat and rang her
bell. She did not lose Il moment IN raising
the window and calling to him in a fright
encd voice:
Go away. You've stopped at the wrong
house, There isn't any body here!'
Il don't want a body, ma'am, I've got
some things l was told to leave here, called
the man.
Take them back" she commanded, Il
tell YOU | won't have them, You ought to
be ashamed tssstop here! What do you sup
pose the neighbors will think"
We'll, ma'am," said the man, as he
want your new furniture, all right, but I've
got it inside"
And ! wouldn't take it as a gift" said the
distressed woman; 1.-THE idea of bringing my
goods in an undertaker's wagon
we hadn't another vehicle in the barn
and YOU said you wanted it right off" re
spOndcd the man as he drove away.
But the man OF many callings who had
utilized the last conveyance in his establish
ment lost the sale of the furniture and the
good will of a customer who did not appre-
ciate such mortuary enterprise.-Chicago
Times-Herald.
