of their life, have sometimes made
things pretty warm for various
nations. England never had any
good reason to quarrel with us about
them, because the seals were caught
and brought to her. You know we
can't dress the skins in this country.
We don't know how to do it, and so
when we capture seal skin we have
to send it to England to be dressed,
and then it comes back to us. its origi-
nal owner, as an imported article.
England Is great country, but 1T is
not always safe to assume that she is
ready to follow up every quarrel with
sidering their location and the manner
blows She quarrels oftener than she
fights 1t would be exceedingly diff
cult for her to fight us all alone about
our seal catching. Russia and japan
are in similar position and any
quarrel between the United States and
England on this score would, in all
probability, involve those other two
count tries. 1t is my opinion that En-
gland would hesitate long time be-
fore getting into such a scrape. Ja-
pan, as nation, is not to be despised.

world that she ranges well Ito the
front as powerful country Fer peo.

beneath the contempt of any ration,

be considered. But do not believe
that we will ever have any serious
difficulty with England. Our refusal
to be intimidated has had salutary
effect -

This was made plain ut a conference

the complications which have grown

1t has been practically decided that
Mr.. Merry shall go to Costa Rica, and
that the headquarters of the legation

Judges kilgore and Springer Resist the

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Judge Buck
Kilgore and Judge William Springer,
appointed to the Federal bench in the
Indian territory by President Cleve-
land, have formally notified the de-
partment of justice that they will fight
in the courts any efforts to oust them.
Judges Kilgore and Springer were
appointed in 1895. Judge Kilgore
holds that he was appointed for four
years term, and that he cannot be re-
moved sooner, while Judge Springer
maintains that the appointment OF a
judge for the Territorial courts is SIM
liar to that of any other Federal court,
and is for life President Mckinley
holds that the terms of officials end
with the administration. Should the
President decapitate either Judge, pro-
ceedings will at once be instituted to
prevent the Republican judge taking
his seat. At the same time judicial
query will be instituted as to the right
of the President to remove. The case
promises to prove both interesting
and without precedent
