The 0uebec Conferences.

Quebec. Sept. 26.-The members of the
American delegation of the conference
commission, it is understood, have un-
der discuss on the Boring sealing ques-
ton. Word has been sent to certain
Americans in Victoria to ascertain the
value of the Canadian ships which are
now engaged in the seal fisheries. This
is taken as an indication that the Amer
lean commissioners are considering ia
vorably the proposition of the Canadian
government to sell to the Americans the
Canadian vessels now engaged in the
seal fisheries and withdraw absolutely
from the Boring sea. 1t is stated on
good authority that so far the joint
commission has not taken up the ques-
ton of commercial reciprocity treaty,
but that the views of each side have
been formulated and put in printed
form and that the matter will be taken
UP in joint session during the week.

Bristol, II. l., Sept. 26.-1t is under
stood here that herman Il. Duryea il
to be associated with Messrs. Morgan
and Iseln in the new cup defender syn
dictate In view of this fact 1t is said
not more than one boat will be built to
defend the cup. The work of pre- pairing
the ways for the reception of the De-
fender, which Is expected here in few
weeks, is progressing. 1t is understood
that the aluminium upper body of the
Defender will be entirely removed, as
the plates have SO thoroughly corroded
as to be useless. Thin plates of bronze
will be substituted. Lieutenant John
A. Tobin, the inventor of Tobin bronze
with which the Viglant is plated, was
here last eek in consultation with the
Herreshofis, and it would not be sur.
prising if Tobin bronze plates were put
OH the Defender to replace those OF
aluminium.

THE LASTERS' STRIKE.
Manufacturers Beginning to Chafe
Under Delay.


Under Delay.
Brockton, Mass, Sept. 26.-The new
price list, for the acceptance of which
local shoe lasters have started a strike
has been adopted by the unions ir
whitman and Rockland, the two lar.
gest and strongest organizations outside
OF this city. The action in each case was
unanimous and the price list will be
submitted to manufacturers in those
sections, with reasonable time allow
ed Tor adopting them with the alterna-
tive of having the lasters drawn into
the strike.
Inc union gave out statement that
10 shops had accepted the new list, but
the manufacturers met this with the
assertion that the Is shops, with the ex-
ception OF w. l.. Douglass, who, by ac-
cepting the schedule, reduced the price
he was paying, are small shops, no one
OF which has an output of more than
ten dozen cases. The E. A. Eaton COM
pany settled upon conditions as pre-
vious" with the consent of the union,
and Churchill & Alden, which submit
ted a proposition for a settlement ad-
vantageous to the lasters and accepta-
BILE to them. are awaiting an answer
from the conference committee, who
also has proposition from G. G. Snow
under consideration.
The manufacturers also claim that,
although many factories are picketed,
some green men are taught on the ma
chimes. The manufacturers are begin
ming to chafe under the delay caused
by the strike in view of the fact that
Brockton never had so many orders as
at present, although some have been
returned on account of the trouble.

Washington, Sept. 26-The most beau
tiful of all of the souvenirs of the great
naval battle of July off Santiago
reached the navy de partment from Cap
tain Converse, commanding the Mont

bust of Christopher Columbus, taken
from the fla gship Cristobal Colon, which

CONVICT PREFERS PRISON,
Declines "a Pardon and Says He vii
Stay in the PeEitentfary

Declines Il Pardon and Says He VIII
Stay in the Penitentiary.
Frank jackson, negro serving a 20
year sentence in the Missouri peniten-
tiary, has refused to accept the pardon
offered by Gov. Stephens.
Missouri as a state is remarkable for
many things, but this action on the
part of long term convict should en-
title the old commonwealth to renewed
| consideration as producer of freaks
The news that a confined maIefactor,
being offered his liberty, declined the
protTer with thanls is enough to make
the average Sing Sing resident change
his stripes. Up the Hudson, where the
inhabitants of the institution for the
prevention of the dissemination OF
| crime lie awake through the sii.
watches planning to secure pardons, the
effect of Mr.. JacksOn's refusal is start
ling. The consensus Of opinion among
expert criminals is that the Missouri
man is in the wrong place. They think
he ought to be confined in the insane
ward.
Before Jackson entered upon his
forced residence in the ''pen" he had
gained the reputation of being as bad
roustabout as ever pulled a razor or
called for Seven. EIeven!" When
Frank felt his madness rising it wasn't
a good thing for foes to linger in his
vicinity. Others who moved in his So
cial world said he was tougher man
than a canal cook, and when they had
said that they figured that they could
say no more in his dispraise.
1t was after one of those entertain
ments at which the services of surgeons
are generally needed that Frank Jack
son usually found himself the distin-
guished member Of the co1ored popula-
ton. He sought trouble early and
often, and he bore the scars Of many a
battle. He was finally brought to book
for assault. The judge thought 20 years
spent in reflection and hard labor would
do much to exercise the evil spirit which
had fastened on Jackson. Frank left
St. Charles county and was given coy
quarters in the state jail
Gov. Stephens. on last Thanksgiving.
! offered to give the negro a pardon. as a
sort of present of the season. Mr.. Jack
son replied that he would prefer to con-
tinue his stay in the penitentiary. He
gave as his reason that the warm atmos-
phere of the prison was more to his Iik-
ing than the cold air of the cruel outside
world. He said he had no friends, no
money and could find no employment.
He would rather stay in Jail until the
warm weather set in. He is still a pris-
cner-N. Y. Herald.
