With the new senator from Ken
lucky the republicans have just one
half the present number of senator's,
which, with the casting vote of the
vice president, gives them a majority.
The passage of the Dingley bill does
not depend, however, upon the break
ing of tie. The remarks Of Senator
Butler make it plain that the populists
who are also protectionists will not
vote against that measure, and the
silver republicans are loyal to the
tariff principles of their party. The
bill that will pass the senate will not
be in all respects what it would have
been if the republicans were in undis-
puted control of that body, but it will
be shorn of none of it's most charac-
teristic features. No tariff will ever
be perfectly satisfactory to all inter-
ests, but no tariff can ever become
law during the next two years that
does not fairly represent the historic
policy of the republican party.-Re-

1t has been decided in Constantin-
ople to increase the strength Of the
Turkish army in the European pro-
vinces to 800, 600 men in order to be
prepared for all emergencies.
Including the troops in Anatolia,
Turkey will soon have 500, 900 troops
under arms. Four transports with
Turkish troops on board passed
through the Dardanelles last week on
their way to the Aegean Sea. Their
ultimate destination is not known.

Gov. Black has signed the Greater

THE SEAL QUESTION.

The attitude of the United States in
the matter of the seal Fisheries has
been misrepresented in England in a
manner which is simply malignant.
The London Times and it's American
correspondent, Mr.. Smalley, are
chiefly responsible for the perver-
sions which have been made, and
considerable part Of the English press
has taken it's cue from them, though
here and there an influential paper,
like the London Speaker, for example,
has refused to follow their lead.
The accusation which the Times and
those siding with it have made against
this country is that in beginning ne
gotiations with a view to a better
protection of seal life, we are trying
to reopen questions which were set
tied by the Paris tribunal, and are, in
fact, refusing to accept the awards of
that tribunal To convey this false
impression, not only is the attitude of
our Government misrepresented, but
the findings of the tribunal are mis-
stated. The charge that we are
evading the pecuniary responsibility
assigned us by the tribunal is totally
false. The Paris tribunal decided that
the United States had erred in seizing
British vessels engaged in pelagic
sealing, but it did not attempt to fix
the compensation which we owed for
that error. The amount due is now
in process Of determination by plan
agreed upon between the two Gov
ernments, and when it is ascertained
it will be paid. Tt is a gross calumny
to say that the United States has re-
fused payment or is seeking delay
1t is equally calumnious to charge
our Government with reopening any
question settled by the tribunal 1t
was part of the decision of that tri-
bunal that Great Britain and the
United States should agree upon reg
ulations for pelagic sealing. An ar
rangement was made which expires
in August of next year. American
and British Commissioners who have
investigated the matter jointly agree
that these regulations are inadequate
to protect seal life. If the matter re-
mains as it is until August of next
year, two sealing seasons will have
interviewed, and at the ruthless rate
at which the slaughter of seals has
gone forward of late there will be
very few seals left to protect. 1t is
this circumstance which gives the
question urge ncy, and which led our
Government to try to arrange with
England some temporary regulations,
some modus viUendi, which would
avert the indiscriminate killing of the
seals Unless England really wishes
to see the seal fisheries extinguished
there is no reason wins she should not
agree to this Exchange.

THE FIRE IN PARIS.

Paris is in mourning over the ter
rible fire there last Tuesday after
noon The fire occurred at charity
built about six months ago for this
especial purpose; it was constructed
as cheap as possible and when first
built it was remarked that it would
burn like matchwood. The interior
was divided into shops and made to
represent the Streets of old Paris.
The light framework was covered
with painted canvas and other in
fammable material These shops
were presided over by some of the
most prominent women of Paris and
many notable people were in attend
ance. Tuesday was the second day
of the bazaar and there were abont
1900 people in the building and the
streets were, lined with waiting car
riages. The fire started at about four
O'Clock, when there was the largest
attendance of ladies. The flames
started by a slight explosion of the
matograph, and in an instant the cur
tains were all ablaze and soon spread
all over the building. There were
eight doors in the building but they
were soon blocked and the people in
front were crushed against the walls
and trampled under foot. The strong
trampled on the weak and the large
on the small. Within a few minutes
the flames, which had spread rapi dly,
began to claim their first victims and
the sbrieks of agony could be heard
for long distance. The brave fire.
men and the policemen made heroic
attempts to rescue the unfortunate
people; water was turned on and the
poured water down on the women
who were suffocating inside. The
rear doors of the building were in
tended for the employees and were
partially concealed; most of the peo-
pie did not know of these doors and
remained helpless in the burning
building when they might have es-
capped. In twelve minutes after the
first cry of fire was given the roof had
fallen in on to the helpless victims
within. The flames roared, and for
time she heat was so intense that no
one could remain near the burning
building. Most of the victims were
burned beyond recognition and many
of the dead may never be known.
After the fremen had drowned out
tho fire the work of rescuing the dead
was begun. The sight around the
entrance was terrible. The dead were
piled in heaps and the charred bodies
were four or five feet deep. Most of
those found alive were frightfully
burned and crushed. All night the
work of taking out the bodies con-
tinued and the widest reports of the
number of dead were circulated. Al

a REPUBLICAN TARIFF ASSURED

The election of a senator in Ken
lucky leaves but two senatorial va
cancies remaining. The opponents of
Senator Call may succeed in prevent
ing his reelection in Florida, but his
seat is sure to be occupied by dem
ocrat. In Oregon the situation is
more complicated, owing to the silver
element in the republican party, but
as the republicans have a majority of
thirty six on joint ballot in the legis-
lature, the election of a supporter of
the Mckinley administration seems
tolerably certain.
Senator Elkins declares in an inter-
view that the republicans cannot af-
ford to take any chances on an even
ly divided senate, and says: eve will
get another senator from Oregon, and
then we can proceed to do the busi-
ness expected of us.'' The addition
of another senator to the republican
column is undoubtedly highly desir-
able, and the long pole handled by
Mark Hanna as the head of the ma
tional republican committee may be
depended upon to bring down the
persimmons as it has so often done
before. But with all respect to Sena-
tor Elkins' opinion, we do not see
that the securing of another senator
from Oregon is essential to the sue
cess of the business which the repub-
licans in the senate now have on
hand.

THE SENATE KILLS THE ARBlTRA.
TTON TREATY.

The arbitration treaty between this
country and Great Britain was killed
in the Senate last Wednesday. Forty
three votes were cast in favor of the
measure, and twenty six against it,
and as it requires two third vote to
ratify treaties the bill was killed.
This is perhaps not unexpected by
the friends of the bill, yet the feeling
all over the country appears to have
been favorable to the ratification of
the treaty. 1t will be the cause of
much regret among the people of the
country that the American Republic,
which has always advocated peaceful
settlements of all disputes, could not
have accepted treaty aiming to-
wards perpetual peace between the
two great English speaking nations of
the world. 1t is true that the danger
of war between the two countries is
very slight yet in refusing to ratify
this treaty we have done much to
hurt the principle of arbitration. That
this country which has always main
tanned that arbitration was the true
way of settling all disputes, should
now refuse to accept treaty embody-
ing the principles which they have al
ways defended, will cause other ma
tions to look upon it as great blow
to the cause of arbitration and tri-
umph to those who advocate the set
Elements of such things by force.
Engiand's action in the Cretan affair
has done much towards turning votes
against theitreaty; it has caused be-
lief that she wished to arbitrate
things with this country in order to
enable her to go on in other places
with a free hand without fear of
trouble from this side of the water.
1t is true that England does not show
a spirit of fairness towards the
smaller countries, yet this should not
keep us from making treaty with
her which might be the cause of like
treaties with other countries, and do
much towards establishing peace all
over the world.

a BRITISH TRIBUTE.

A remarkable series Of papers on
the progress of the United States,"
by Michael G. Mulhall, foremost Brit
ish statisticians, has begun in the
North american ReUieU.
The first chapter of the series, in
the RevieaO, is devoted exclusively to
the progress of New England. Mr..
Mulhall cites the familiar facts about
the decline of New England agricul-
ture and the relative increase of the
urban as contrasted with the rural
population, but when he comes to the
fruitful topic of manufactures he in
stitutes some comparisons which are
genuinely startling.
He finds that New England manu-
featuring has increased its output
five fold since 1860, and that New
England today possesses unchalleng-
ed pre- eminence as the foremost
manufacturing region of the world.
According to Mr.. Mulhall's figures
the total product of the manufactures
of New England is now valued at ST.
499, 900, 900, or 1919 per inhabitant, as
compared with a product in old Eng
land of $115 per inhabitant, in France
of $74 per inhabitant, in Germany of
s63 and in Belgium of SsS.
Moreover, the relative rate of pro-
gress has been much larger in New
England than on the other side of the
Atlantic. In old England the manu-
factured product has very little more
has advanced only from Sill to 115.
But in New England our manufactur
ing product has actually increased
three times faster than the growth in
population, advancing from $104 in
1850 to 1919 at the present time.
Another significant fact to which
Mr.. Mulhall invites attention is that,
extraordinary as this progress has
been, the wages of the operatives
have increased in even greater ratio
than the product. Our free traders
will be particularly interested in the
declaration of this distinguished Brit
ish economist that these wages s'are
much higher than those in Europe,
and as the cost of food is less the New
England operative is in a much better
position than factory hands in Great
France or Germany"
Mr.. MulhalI fortifes this Judgment
by citing the eloquent fact that saw
ings bank deposits in New England
are $151 per inhabitant, as compared
with $29 in Prussia, $40 in France and
only $18 in Great Britain. In the Sc
clusion of his English study this emin
ent statistician does not realize the |
terrific blows which his carefully col |
lated figures deal to the forlorn ''tar-
If reform" propaganda in America.
Without dreaming of possible polit- |
lcal effect, but merely aiming to pre-
sent IN vivid form the impregnable
truth as he sees it, Mr.. Mulhall is
again, as he has done before, laying |
before the American people tre-
nendous vindication of the American
economic system. 1t is easy for the
reader of his words to comprehend
why for seventy years New England
aas given unwavering allegiance to
he protective principle.-Jouraaal.
