like this one, however, are ordinarily
made on the implied condition that the
performance OF the agreement shall not
be rendered impossible by the interven-

inevitable occurance produced by an
irresistible physical cause which HUI
man skill could not have prevented or
human judgment foreseen
This agency seems to have interviewed
in this case in the form Of an epidemic
disease, known as the measles, which
required the closing OF the schools for

during the time for which the contract
was made should be paid TO her.
The fact that the contract OF employ

her rights to enforce the terms OF her
verbal contract.

New York, Aug. 29.--Sir Edmund Bar

Sir Edmund took leading part In the
recent enactment of the arbitration law
Of New South Wales and Is much inter-

ton Is compulsory, and when disputes
arise between employers and employed
both parties are required to submit the
issue to board of arbitration, which
Is under government control. A Judge
OF the supreme court Is the head Of the
board. and two assessors are named TO
act with him, one appointed by each
side.
"a money deposit sufficiently large to
make both parties TO the dispute UNI
willing to forfeit It, is required to be
paid into the court before the arbitra
ton begins, The deposit Is a guaran-
tee that both sides will abide by the
finding of the board. Since the enact
ment Of this compulsory arbitration law
strikes in New South Wales are un-
known, A similar system exists In New
Zealand"
Sir Edmund and HIS party will visit
Washington, ID. c., today, and will sail
from Vancouver on Sept. 10.

Vienna, Aug. 29.--president Roose-

"Mr, Roosevelt" continued the paper,

because the Boer war published to the
world the poverty Of Great Britains
military forces
The paper concludes as follows:
1T must not be forgotten that Mr..
Roosevelt's fanfare was sounded in an
election speech. II the head OF Eu-
ropean state had spoken in such man
ner one might anticipate war In the
near future. But American election
speeches are only judgsable from an

when the European governments are

NEW SEAL ROOKERY.
State Department Thinks Capt.
McIIean's Report Erroneous.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The recently
reported discovery by the captain OF
the revenue cutter Manning OF a new
seal rookery near the Aleutian islands
mas been brought to the attention o.
tie state department where II has been
investigated. The report, II accurate,
would be of the greatest Importance for
II would go far toward sustaining the
departments contention that there has
not really been any dlminution of fur
seals in Alaskan waters, that there are
rs many fur seals as ever In the open
sea, and that what has happened has
simply been an abandonment by the
fur seals OF their old rookerles on thu
Prlbylof islands The Investigations Of
Henry w. Elliott the fur seal expert
Of the government, have led the Of
nclals Of the state department to ths
conclusion that the report Of the cap
tain Of the Manning is erroneous. The
place where these seals were reported
TO have been found was on Bouldeye
island, more than 600 miles distant
from the Pribylof islands. Mr. Elllotts
conclusion is that what Capt. Mclean
Of the Manning actually saw was a
number OF young sea lions which are
easily mistaken for seals.
