Seals nnd Sand Storms.

From the San Francisco Examiner
You say the sealers on Pribyloff Islands
catch the females when they go out 20 sea
to feed. That is not so, as they never go
out to feed. AS for the pups dying OH Toll
stoi rookeries from the loss of their moth
ers being killed at sea, that is not SO; they
are killed by sandstorms. Tolstoi is the on
ly rooEery that is affected by sandstorms,
and only one part of IL, and at this particu-
lar part is the only place where dead pups
are found.
1t would be something to the credit of the
company il they would build board fence,
like snow fence on the plains, for about
700 yards on Tolstoi rookery 1t would save
the lives of thousands of pups.

did not know when she did it: he
thought 1t was Obi-African witch

ARE DRIFTING APART.
Conferrees On the Tariff Bill Cannot
Reach Agreement.

Washington. July 1.-THE conferrees
on the tariff bill found themselves
Wednesday apparently further apart
than they were at the beginning of the
conference. There was no immediate
prospect Of agreement and one member
stated that the enlargement was such
that the settlement might be indefinitely
prolonged. They stated in very re-
served manner that there are numer-
Gus questions of difference, but refuse TO
go into details, even TO other senators
and members. From all that can be
learned. however, there has been gen
eral recession from the partial agree
ments made on the more important ar
ticles until sugar. wool, hides, etc. can
be definitely fixed. Sugar is still the
principal contention.
The best reports represent the house
conferrees with Speaker Reed behind
them, as holding out for the house sugar
schedule without any change whatever,
and the senators are quite determined
not to yield to this extent. The house
conferrees insist that this schedule must
be definitely fixed before other questions
shall be again taken up. One OF the
other questions of secondary importance
upon which Sharp dlHerences nave drls-
en- is the senate amendment for stamp
tax on stocks and bonds. The house op-
poses the amendment, but the senator's.
while not welded to it, insist upon 1t as
| necessary for revenue. The house is also
resisting strenuously the 20 per cent.
| duty placed upon hides. and is at the
| same time persistently holding out for
restoration of gunny bags, cotton ties.
| etc, to the dutiable list.
| A senator who talked with some OF the
| conferrees said: "They are in tenn
porary deadlock, and are tied up all
| along the line. 1t looks as If the situa-
tion might remain unchanged for a
week" While this appeared go be cor

Matteawan, burst at o'clock Wednes-
day morning owing to the heavy rains.
The water ran into the creek and two
miles below, near Duchess Junction,
washed away brick yard buildings, in
cluding a boarding house occupied by
laborers. At 8 o'clock seven bodies had
been recovered. Two of them were
those Of Peter Muligan and wife. who
kept one Of the two boarding houses for
brick yard laborers that were swept
away by the food The names of the
others are not known. 1t is reported
that twenty are still missing. Tons Of
earth and sand were washed down in
the flood and men are digging into this
mess TO recover other bodies. Trains
were stalled all the way from Fishkill
TO Poughkeepsie. One of these was a

which expected to start for Europe
Wednesday.
The flood at Duchess Junction washed
away 200 yards of the Hudson railroad
track. Trains are stalled on each side
of the breach. There were two reser-
voirs in the mountain. the lower one

VICTORY FOR WHEELMEN.
DO Not Have to Pay Toll over Roads II
Michigan.


Lansing. Mich. July 15.-In the case
OF James o. Murfn VS.. The Detroit and
Erie Plank Road company, the supreme
court on Tuesday handed down an
opinion OF great interest to wheeimen'
Nurfin brought action against the COM
pany for preventing him from riding
his bicycle upon it's road without pay
ing toll. The company appealed from
a directed verdict in favor OF Murfn.
The only question involved was the
right of the company to charge toll Tor
the use Of its road by persons riding pi-
cycles.
In deciding the case the court says
that. while the bicycle is a vehicle, q
distinction may be made between Veni-
cles propelled by man, and those de-
pending upon animal power, or mechan-
ical motors for propulsion, and that this
would not do violence to the law which
had always been construed to permit
the use of highways by persons who do
not depend upon some means of con-
yeyance aside from their own powers
of locomotion. The bicycle. the opinion
SAYS. is propelled and managed by the
feet and hands of the rider and uses
the travelled roadway only when 1t is
the better part of the highway, just as
the pedestrian does.
The distinction mentioned is. in the
opinion of the court, sufficient TO pro-
tect the companies from use of their
road by substitutes for those vehicles
which the law contemplated should be
| charged for, and al the same time pro-
tect the pedestrian in his increased pow
er of locomoton by aid of the wheel
The judgment was affirmed.
The court expressed the believe thai
| the case was brought for the purpose o'
ascertaining whether the company
might safely provide exceptional facili'
| ties for wheelmen, with the expectation
| of collecting toll.

years American, Irish, English, French
and German miners have been gradually
forced out of the mines Their places
have been taken by the Slavs. When
the latter first came to America they

The operators now fear that their
