BERING SEA QUESTION.

A special Meeting OIL the JOINT COmmlS-
sion Called to Hear Committees Re
port.
Washington, Nov 2S.-The Bering sea
question has reached such an advanced
stage in the consideration of the Anglo
American commission that a special
meeting was held today to hear the re-
port of the committee which for the
last ten days has been examining Ca
madam and American experts relative
to the value of the Canadian fleet of
sealers engaged in the Boring sea.
The expert testimony has enabled the
commission to make considerable ad-
vance toward an adjustment although
it was understood that there were some
points yet to be determined by the full
commission. After two hours devoted
to considering the report and the view
of respective sides, a recess was taken,
and the members of the commission.
accompanied by the ladies of the party

been destroyed, death abolished, and the
children of the resurrection clothed In
the image of God. But the Bible bears
testimony on this subject not only by
what IT assumes and by what IT promises
by its, formal statements and It's pro-
found philosophy. but more especially by
the facts which II relates. None of the
highest, the essentially spiritual facts
of mans knowledge and experience fail
within the scope of what Is known as
scientific proof God, the soul Of truth
love, righteousness, repentance, faith
beauty, the good-all these are unap-
proachable bv scientific tests; yet these
and not salts and acids and laws of
cohesion and chemical affinity and gravi-
tation, are the supreme realities of man s
life, even in this world of matter and
force.
Immortality is the conscious experience
of the essential and indestructible life of
the man. In the nature of the case It
cannot be subjected to scientific tests"
Passing by the many facts both in the
Old and in the New Testament, which
rise up as witnesses in this respect let
us pause only before the greatest of all
Scriptural facts, the life and death of
Jesus. Paul Peter and John manifest a
strong and living faith I'm immortality
and seem to regard 1t as n settled ques-
ton. In their view, the resurrection of
Jesus had dispeled all doubts of life af-
ter death. This great central fact of the
gospel, brings Immortality into full light.
Here. on the one hand is death in all
the vivldness of horrid detail. Here, on
the other, is life in all the fulness of cer-
tainty. No matter what Jesus was be-
sides, he was a real, historical man.
whom no criticism can eliminate; and
His death and resurrection are questions
of fact, to be settled by evidence as 9TH
err facts are settled.
The Bible. then, taken as n whole, as
sures us of two things in relation to this
subject First. that the desire and the
prejudice in our hearts which are found
in favor of an agreeable and happy eter-
nal life. find their counterpart in the
promises of the gospel, which opens the
way to such a life. And, secondly, 1t as
sures us that all contrary facts are to be
completely removed as to their effects
and bearing upon the saved. How, then,
is the subject left? Perhaps, fairly about
as follows:
(a) The natural presumption i'm favor
of immortality is not disturbed by Scrip
ture. Hence, so far as it Is an intuitive
doctrine, its form and proof remain in
tact.
(b) None of the rational arguments in
favor of general immortality are dis
turbed by gospel promises Hence, so far
as it may arise as a ratonalistic doctrine
it still remains.
(c) The Scriptural argument is built
upon the natural base and takes it's form
within the lines of the rational argument.
I'D the whole argument, then, takes its
root in the intuition, receives further de
Velopment in the sphere of natural rca-
son. but arrives at restful certainty only
in the full-orbed light of the Christian
revelation. blessed are they that do
His commandments, that they may have
right to the tree of life, and may enter
in through the gates into the city"

FOURTH OF THE SERIES.
Last Nights Discourse by Rev. M,
Grant.

Rev. II. A. Grant, b. D., pastor of
the Howard Place African Methodist
Episcopal church, last evening deliy-
cred the fourth of series of sermon
lectures on inspiration and immortal
ity," choosing as a text, Psalm xvii:
Is, "As for me, will behold thy face
in righteousness; l shall be satisfied
when 1 awake with thy likeness" The
speaker in part, said:
The New Testament, including the
teaching of our Saviour and of the apos-
ties, does not clearly affirm that man is
immortal. Tho great points in New Tes-
lament teaching are that the effects of
sin shall be entirely removed, and that
death shall be abolished. In the philos-
ophy of the New Testament, death is an
Incident entirely unnatural, coming 20
man as the consequence and penalty of
sin. 1t is the wages of sin, the work OF
the devil, the penalty inflicted by the
Lord. The Gospel is to remove all these
and restore man to his original privileges
and powers.
1t does not formally state what these
powers and privileges are, but leads us
to the conclusion that Just what man
was In the opening of Genesis, before sin
had detiled the earth and tainted his be-
Ing, such will be the saved as revealed
in the Apocalypse. after sin shall have

car on the switch at the Lightner farm
house near Tavlor woods. Here, how
ever, the first car left the rails and
further progress was out OF the ques-
tion. The ten men decided to stick II
out until help came.
The ten men had secured their food
from the houses nearest their car. Now
the only nearby house within was the
Lightrer farm house. AT supper time
the ten trooped over to the house and
announced that they were hungry.
Farmer Lightrer took the raid good
naturedly and his wife soon had a
stcaming table ready for the men. The
rest of the night they spent in swap
ping stories and singing Home, Sweet
Home" to the melody Of the parlor or
gan.
AFTER THIRTY-SIX HOURS.
At IL o'clock, after over thirtv-six
hours waiting, the welcome buzz of
the sweeper was heard coming around
the hill to the north. a short time af-
terward the ten men were in their
homes and in bed.
A crew of the Petersburg line had a
similar experience. At 9 o'clock yes
terday morning the Taylor line was
clear from Rendham to Dunmore cor
ners. The tracks to Throop will be
tackled today. The Peckville line is
clear as far as Olyphant, in fact this
stretch of track was never entirely
blocked during all the storm. The line
to Pfttston was cleared yesterday. A
stretch of two blocks on the SWEET
land street line, the Buffalo" from
Bulls head to Trips crossing, part
of the Petersburg line and tine Throop
line are all that remained to be cleaned.
In the work the company used three
mammoth electrical sweepers and
eight "walk-away" plows drawn by
horses.
The emergency was extraordinary
and the efforts of General Manager
Silliman and the other officials of the
company TO provide the travelling pub
lie with conveyance at time when
it was most needed were uncurtailed.
Superintendent r. L. Fox personally
directed the work.
Py day light today it is expected that
all the lines will be fully opened.

The Taylor Vote Turned to the Memphian, Breaking the
 Deadlock.

NASHVILLE, Feb. 1.-The Democrat ic legislative caucus on the first bal lot tonight nominated Senator Thomas B. Hurley, of Memphis, to fill out the unexpired term of Isham G. Harris, and who was appointed by Gov. Taylor senator after Sena- tor Harris death. The result was q surprise to allspectators, forEit was not expected the deadlock would be broken tonight. The ballot stood: Hurley, 56; McMillin, 43; Taylor, 1. Efforts had been made during the day to induce Hurley to withdraw in Taylor's behalf. It is stated he positively refused. Then negotia- tions to deliver the Taylor vote to Hurley were begun and resulted i'll the dropping of Taylor and the de- livery of a sufficient number of votes to Hurley to nominate. Senator Hurley was notified and brought to the capitol and addressed the assem- bly,. The joint convention of the two houses of the legislature will elect Mr. Hurley senator tomorrow at noon. His term will expire March 4, 1901.

4 VAIN ATTEMPT, MADE TO BURN THE GREEN WILLIE C0LORED PUBLIC
 SCHOOLS.
Premises Where Crimes are Com mitted Should be Kept
 Clear For the Dogs.

When the janitor at the colored public school in Greenville, on the western outskirts Of the city. opened up the school building this morning he found a large burnt spot in the center of the floor of one room.
 Someone had broken into the school, poured a combustible fluid over the floor and set 1t on fire. He then fled from the premises expecting the work he had commenced, to re- suit in the destruction of the school building. After the gasolene, or whatever it was that was used had been burned up, the blazes died out leaving the blackened and charred spot in the floor.
 When the janitor saw what had been done he looked about +he place for tracks. Someone's tracks were found and the ianitor called in others to look at them. Capt. N. T. Roberts, president of the School Board, was notified of the attempt ed burning of the school. Capt. Roberts telephoned Mir. Philpot, who took hls dogs out to the school. By that time so many different tracks had been made that the dogs could not get started on the trail.
 It is very important, when 0 crime is committed, that the premises be kept free from intruders, as the dogs cannot find q trail when people have been walking all over it. Several prizes have been lost to the blood hounds on this account.
