a rat was caught alive on board a
naval vessel in a trap, and the beast
was thrown from the trap into the wa
ter without being killed. \ large gull
that was following in the wake OF the
ship to pick up scraps of food thrown
overheard by the steward swooped
several times, endeavoring to pick the
rat up. Once the bird got too close to
the rats jaws, and the beast grabbed
it by the neck. After Il short fight the
rat succeeded in killing the bird. When
the gull was dead, the rat scrambled
upon the birds body. and. hosting one
wing as a sail and Using the other as
n rudder. succeeded in steering for the
shore. Whether the ret reached shore
or not is the question, since the ship
soon got cut of sight of the skipper
and its craft.

GHOST WAS A WITNESS.
Murder Most Foul Discovered in a Mirac
ulous Manner.

Madison, Wis. Sept. 21.-Eugene
Buel. convicted in the Sawyer county
court of the murder of Peter Nelson, is
given a new chance for liberty. The
supreme court yesterday reversed the
decision under which he was convicted
and Temanded the case to the Sawyer
county court for new trial because
of errors in the first trial which made
against the accused.
An interesting feature of the testi-
mony on the trial in the circuit court
was that the discovery that Nelson had
been murdered was made through the
appearance of his ghost. r. u. Board
man, Buefs father-in-law. testified
that in February, 1897, about five
months after Nelson's disappearance,
as he was going to his shanty by the
trail to Round Lake, not far from
where Nelson's body was found, Mel
sons ghost appeared before him on the
trail and said: Il am dead. My God.
Boardman. he has killed me" The
ghost then disappeared. Boardman
said the vision locked as natural as
Nelson himself.

HARCOURT ON THE DISPUTE.
Sir William Seems to Set Little Store by
the "Suzerainty."

Sir William Seems to Set Little Store by
the .'Suzerainty."
London, Sept. 27.-Sir William Yer
non Harcourt writes to The Times de-
nyinS that the controversy regarding
suZerainty was introduced by the
Trasvaal government. He says it was
originated ny Chamberlain in his dis
patch of Sept. rs, 1897. The Trans
walls independence" says Sir Will
lam, lis complete. Even in foreign af-
fairs the only thing reserved is the final
approval of the queen to treaties neSO-
tiated. 1t is unfortunate that the sllzer-
ainty question was ever raised. and the
sooner the whole dispute is dismissed
the better.
Nothing but mischief can come
from the employment of vague terms
like 'suZerainty' and 'paramountcy.'
Beyond doubt the relations of Great
Britain with the Transvaal rest upon
the terms of the convention of 1854
and upon nothing else. What we have
TO do is to get the franchise question
settled as quickly as possible without
the Importation of eXtraneous matter.
If. as the government is understood to
desire. both parties can take n new pc
parture. there can be no obstacle to an
amicable solution"
