RUSSIA WILL ARBlTRArs.
HER CLAIMS AGAINST TIE
UNITED STATES.
tBy Telegraph to Virgiaian-pnot.)

(By Telegraph to Virgiaian-P ilot.)
London, Oct. 2i.-Russia, 1t has been
learned by the Associated Press, has
at last agreed 10 arblratc with the
United States the claims resulting from
the seizure OF sealcrs i'll the Boring
Sea, which have been pending for about
eight years. ~ protocol between the
two governments has been drawn up,
the final formalities are expected 10 be
concluded next month, and the arbi-
tration will probably take the form Of
the Venezuela court.
HISTORY OF THE CLAIM.
Washington. Oct. 2i-Thesc claims
originated in the seizure by the Russian
authorities off the coast of Siberia, OF
three American scaling vessels, and the
damages claimed aggregate about $780,
600. The vessels were the James Ham
ilton Lewis, the Cape Horn Pigeon, and
the C. Fl. White. In each case the
largest item of the claim is on account
of the sufferinss of the American off-
GERS and crew while under arrest. The
cases differ from those claims pre-
sented by British sealerS, which were
settled by the Boring Sea arbitration,
in the fact that while the British YES
sells were seized by the American rev.
enue cutters on what the arbitra ton
declared to be the high seas, the Rus
sian men-of-war seized these American
sealers within seven miles of the Asst
attic coast. 1t Is n matter of intercs
that for the first time the Russian gov
crnment contends that marine iurisdic-
tion of country extends ut least this
distance from the shore line instead OF
being limited to n marine league, ms
laid down by the old writer's on Inter-
national Law.
The protocol through which the ar
bitration was arranged was prepared In
st. Petersburg by United States Min
lister Tower and the Russian Foreign
Office. Tt was agreed by the parties
that there should be but one arbitrator
and the person selected for that post
is DR.. Asser, n celebrated Dutch jurist
who took n prominent part in The
Hague conference. The case will bt
submitted to him as soon as the papers
can be prepared at the State Depart.
ment.

WHITE WAIST COATS IN COURT
Irish Judges Regard Them as Unpro-
fessIonal and Taboo Them.


An extraordinary incident took place
recently in nisi prius court No. in
Dublile While the lord chief justice
Sir Peter O'Brien was engaged in the
hearing OF an action against the Dub
lin corporation his lordship said he
observed that one Of the queens coun-
sci engaged in the case appeared in a
white waistcoat, which was not a pro-
fessional costume. The MacDermot.
@. c., who was Irish attorney general
under the last liberal government and
who was leading counsel for the corpo-
ration, thereupon endeavored to cover
the offending garment with his silk
gown. In reply to the lord chief JUS
tice, Mr.. Roman, @. c., said that last
week in England a judge had stated
that he would not hear any counsel
who did not appear in bar costume.
The lord chief justice: "And l will not
hear any barrister who comes into this
court wearing anything that Is unpro-
fessional." The MacDermot said he
had not intended to do anything that
was unprofessional. He had been in
the library and had hurried down, not
having time to change his costume.
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy, @. c., here handed
a pin to the MacDermot, with which,
amid much laughter, he fastened he
silk gown in front so as to hide the os-
trusive waistcoat from the sensitive
eyes of his lordship.

DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.
A Young Man Lost Through His Owu
Trick.

There Is one young man in this city
who will not be so fresh in the future
when it comes to betting with the fair
sex. He was filled with an apprecia-
tion of his own judgment, and one day
last week announced TO young wom-
an that Yale was sure to win the foot
ball game against Harvard. 1t hap
pened that the young woman was a
Harvard enthusiast, and she promptly
called the turn, offering to wager that
Harvard would prove the victor. A box
OF candy was suggested for q wager,
but this was scorned by the young man
who persisted that If he was to bet he
desired it to be for stakes OF some con-
sequence, and proposed that she wager
100 choice cigars against new dress.
There are reasons for believing that he
thought she would not be equal to the
emergency, but he was sadly disap-
pointed, for she accepted the wager. OF
course she won, but the funny part of
the story remains to be told. The
young man visited one Of the dry goods
stores Monday and secured samples OF
dress goods from which the fair win
ner could select. The prices ranged
from rs cents to SIPS yard and know
ing the disposition to select that which
cost the most, he determined upon a
very cute scheme, or, rather, a scheme
which looked very cute at the time. He
carefully attached price tags to the
samples, marking the lower priced
goods s1.25 a yard and the $1.25 sam
pies Is cents. Chuckling at his sharp
ness he presented the materials for Sc
lection. A little later he went around
to hear the decision. IL like that piece
of CLOTH" said the young woman, pick
ing up one of the pieces marked from
rs cents up, "but this one is such a
bargain that I think l shall take it,.
And BESIDES" she added, 1T will let
you down easier" What he said was
not intended for her ears, but he will
purchase the s1.25 goods, marked down
by himself to rs cents, but still sold by
the merchant at the original price

One flight, two flights, three, four
and she paused breathless.
She was a model-in many ways. In
the first place, she was very good, and
In the second, curiously enough, she
was very pretty. Then, too, she posed
for people who painted or sculped.
She was standing now before door
upon which was nailed card which
no one could read because the hall was
too dark. Had you carried it down to
the street (West Fourteenth street, to

She had knocked once-gently, and
now, after few minutes pause, she
knocked again. Then she tried the
latch and the door fell open.
1t was little room with one small
skylight and it was Uttered with pic
lures, paints, easels, chairs-a small
deal table and a cot which somebody
had tried to make look like a divan.
1t was not very clean; in fact, it was
dirty, and everything seemed more or
less broken. The breakage was not
that of everyday wear and tear and
non-repair. 1t bore the impress of de-
liberate intent; in fact, farmer from
cyclone Kansas would have felt thor
oughly at home here.
So the girls eyes wandered over the
wreck and finally rested upon a young
mans back. He was seated in the only
chair that was in a condition to hold
any one, and his face was buried in his
arms folded across the deal table
"Oh, Harry!" she gasped. What
have you done?"
Can't you see?" he said
Yes-but why? Oh, dear, what is
the matter?"
Henry Smudge stood up. His ragged
slippers, his worn velvet jacket his
tousled hair, his brown Vandyke beard
all bespoke the artist

Now Miss Bessie Trilbycroft had pos

time she had suspected what Henry

SPIRiTUALISM.
Renowned by Astronomer Flammarion
Gives His Reasons.


Paris Correspondence New York
World: Camille Flammarion, in an
interview with your correspondent,
said: Il have not repudiated spiritu-
alism lightly. A serious man naturally
always dislikes to admit that he has
been mistaken in life. AS is well
known, have been one of the stoutest
apostles Of spiritualism. l always be-
lieved l was having regular intercourse
with the other world. Galileos spirit
never failed to come to me when sum-
moned. His revelations about the ap-
pearance and manners of the inhabi-
tants of other planets were incorporat-
ed in my writings, always with the ut
most confidence till modern instru-
ments discovered five satellites of Jupi-
ter and nine OF Saturn, whereas what l
believed was the spirit of Calico al
ways affirmed to be that Jupiter had
four moons and Saturn eight. You
must understand, however, that / do
not renounce all belief in spiritual
manifestations, the existence Of which
has been proved beyond a doubt. I
have simply reached the conclusion
that such manifestations cannot be at
tributed to the spirits of dead people.
l see additional proof that the phenom-
ena so far as ascribed to the dead,
really emanates from psychic force pro-
jected by the living. In fact the so
called revelations are always confined
to things known, suspected or desired
by somebody present"

TRADES THAT CURE.
Few of the CaIlings That Bring
Health to the Operators.

Health to the Operators.
One hears much Of the injurious
trades-dppers' lead-poisoning in the
potteries, phossy-jaw in the match fac
tories-but comparatively few seem to
be aware that there are occupations
that are actually beneficial, even medi-
cinally so, to the health OF those en-
gagged in them. The men who lay the
asphalt in the streets, for instance, sell
dom have days illness and those en-
ployed in electric light works and in
places where large quantities OF cleo
tricity are generated enjoy quite an ex-
traordinary amount of vitality. A visit
to the gasworks, too, Is quite frequently
prescribed by doctors for chest all
ments. The workers in the salt mines
also enjoy an absolute immunity from
rheumatism. Perhaps the healthiest
occupation Is that in the petroleum
works. The men employed in these
never suffer from sore threats, diph-
iberia, quinsy or kidney ailments. The
marvellous curative effects OF the pc
troleum fumes is such that 1t is now
quite a common thing for sufferers
from throat affections to visit the pc
troleum works, much as people used to
drink the waters at Bath. A celebrated
and wealthy operate tenor who had de-
veloped throat weakness has for sew
eral months past been working as an
ordinary employee, but gratis, in one Of
the petroleum refining rooms, deriving
from the inhaling OF the fumes a cure
that scores Of physicians and several
ocean voyages failed In establishing
