tion or immunity from legal jurisdiction must be derived from the consent of that country.". . . It i said that cases have frequently occurred in which revolutionists and others wanted tor otlenses of one character or another nave been seized by the Hawaiian government while on British uiorchant ships, and Great Britain has not protested, thus establishing diplomatic precedents. Had the vessel been a mau-of-war, Barrundia would not have been subject to jurisdiction, as war vessels carry everywhere the jurisdiction of the country whose Hag they lly. The Barrundia affair differs from the others in that the man was shot, but the right to seize being conceded the right to kill if resistance is made is an oil established principle of law. The principal criticism made in diplomatic circles of Minister Mizners course is that of unnecessary interference. It is suggested that be might have simply stated to the Gautemalans that they seized the man at their own risk. But on this point it is thought wellto await knowledge of exactly what the Minister said and did before pronouncing judgment upon his conduct. A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.

Republican Capacity and Courteoasness Take the Place of Democratic Pomposity. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Aug. SI. "There probably never was as much reflected greatness thrnst back upon the country as during the past year," said a Southern Republican member of Congress to-day. "There surety were more examples of juvenile pomposity in the various executive departments under the Cleveland administration than ever before, and those who have much business to do in the departments were glad to see the political changes made. I' have a deteotationfor rellected genius and reflected greatness. What I mean is, genius or greatness reflected from one man upon another. "We see reflected greatness in every branch of life." continued the Congressman, "and Congress is not an exception to the rule. 1 have often seen men come to Congress wearing an eleven shoe and a thirteen collar become very pompous merely by hanging around those who have brains and prominence. Immediately that they get into their seats they are impressed with their smallness and comoto the conclusion that they can appear great by associating with great men, and thereby they are great bores to all their friends and acquaintances, borne ox the under officers in the departments, who were put in during the early part of 1SS5, and who have just been excused by the President, possessed a great deal of this rellected greatness, and since the common plebeian citizen from the Republican ranks has taken the place of the Democrats, it is much more pleasant to do business in the departments. The stranger who visited Washington four years ago, and had never learned of the change of administration, would readily discover it if he were simply to walk through one of the executive departments. The rtraosphere is much more pleasant. There is much less assumption than under the last administration, and a great deal more, of capacity and, courteous demeanor." MINOR MATTERS. Variety of Daiinett Likely to Keep Congress In Session at Least Six Weeks. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. 31. The introduction of the Edmunds resolution does not indicate the possible time of the adjournment of Congress. It will not be possible for the House and Senate to clear up work 03 Sept. VJ, and probably not by October. Speaker Reed is ..quoted as saying that an adjournment will probably be had Oct 8. The President, it is known, does not expect Congress to get away before the middle of October. It is this belief that has made it seem wise to him to join his family in the mountains to get a little rest before the trying experience of the last days of the session. In addition to the debate in the Houso and the differences to bo adjusted in conference on the tariff question, there is the contest over the bill to relieve the federal courts, which is before the Senate, and over the bankiuptcy bill, which seems likely to pass, and over the lard bill, for which the Senate will doubtless substitute the pure-food bill or some other measure. Cougress can hardly get away before the first of October. General Notes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. 31.

Number of Fires Started in Brooklyn Tene- . tuent Houses Several Inmates Injured. New York, Aug. 31. Fires that were plainly of incendiary origin started in five different places in Brooklyn last night and early this morning, and resulted in the injury of several persons and the arrest of two men suspected of being incendiaries. The names of the injured are M ary Moore, aged nineteen years; John Schmidt, aged nineteen months, and Ann O'Reilly, aged two years.

Hushes were made to the windows in frantic efforts to get out and many threw themselves over the iron railings of the fire-escapes, where they hung until rescued by the firemen. In addition to the injured mentioned, a baby of Annie O'Reilly, sir mouths old. was so badly burned that it will probably die. Several of the tenants who wore aroused from their beds by the nlarm became dazed and groped their way through the smoke-tilled corridors, from which they were taken out by the rescuers. One fireman was overcome by smoke and removed to the hospital. Narrow Escape of the Palo Alto Stables. San Fkancisco, Aug. 31. Only the vigilance of hostlers at Senator Stanford's big I'alo Alto ranch, near Menlo Park, last night, prevented a lire which would have boon a repetition of tho disastrous one of three 3-ars ago, when more than, a dozen promising young trotters and runners were burned.

Nearly four thousand ' union carpenters held a mass-meeting in Battery D armory this afternoon and listened to instructions of the carpenters' council relative to the strike which begins to-morrow morning. The assertion of the master builders to the effect that scarcely one thousand men would follow the leadership of the council and quit work looked ratber dubious in view of tho attendance at the meeting. The strike is to enforce a raise in wages promised by the new bosses', association. Throughout tho proceedings every allusion made to the strike and the determination to go out was met with prolonged and ringing cheers. President Jas. O'Connell. of the carpenters' council, asked that every man belonging to the carpenters'; unions report at their respective meeting places on Tuesday morning. There was some misapprehension felt, he said, that men working for bosses who were living up to the agreement were to bo forced to remain idle. This was not the case. It was desired that every carpenter should,' report, and if it was found that the union scale was being paid the men would be allowed to return to work in a very few days. Before adjournment the following telegram was read from a representative of the council who visited the general headquarters of the carpenters in Philadelphia: "The general executive board sanctions the action, and promises the support of 'tho entire united brotherhood."

MINUTE DETECTIVE WORK. laborious Reports of New Zealand and Australian Police in Answer to an Inquiry, Kansas City Star. , Some time ago there appeared in Kansas Citv a person whose . residence had some years earlier been in Auckland. New Zea--land, in tho south seas. W hen it was proposed, in business arrangements then making, that ho bear a responsible part certain suspicions having been aroused a letter, giving his description, was dispatched to the chief of police of Auckland asking for information. One month, two months, three months went by. and one day the writer of the letter received a request from Chief Speers to see him at headquarters. Wben ho responded the chief produced a very voluminous report from tho Auckland police touching the actions of tho person in question while there. It was accompanied by a copy of the letter which provoked it and a request to deliver the report to tho inquirer if he was a proper person. The repart was as complete an exposition of tbe doings of an individual for a given time as could well be written. It met the subject as he stepped from the boat, and went with him to a hotel and took the number of his room. When he changed hostelries the event was chronicled, and whether he walked or rode on a certain day, or lounged about town, had faithful mention. It spoke of his associates, male and female, and their habits. It recounted all he did and all he tried to do, as well as all he said of his history, and wonud up by giving about a column of extracts from Aucklaud papers touching the person's performances while tbere. The report covered many Dages, and upon the exodus of the subject for Wellington. Australia, the task of relating what had mircked his carear while there was tnrued over to the Wellington police. They pursued the work with the full and labored accuracy of their brethren in New Zealand, and on its being finished it was transmitted to Chief Speers, who has it now. It might be added that the report showed the person investigated to be a contidence man ami swindler of the advanced and dangerous kind, and had its effect in very much limiting his power for fraud in this region. It should be also stated that theno Vidocqs on the other side of the world did not charge a cent for their services.

STATU DITCH FOR A SEWER. Common Conncil to Be Asked to Consider Such a Plan Effect on the State Pair Grounds. It is said a proposition to convert the State ditch into a sewer is to be submitted to the Common Council in the near future. "The main advantage in so using the ditch." Councilman Martindalo remarked yesterday, "would be in giving to the people of that vicinity a system of sewerage that could not be excelled by building a sewer along, any other route. The ditch begins at the corner of Pike and Harrison streets, and continues 6onth and isn west to Tennessee and xifteeth streets, where it empties into Fall creek. This would drain all of that territory around the Atlas works, which is always overflowed every time Pogue's run leaves its banks." "Would not the State Bo ard of Agricult ure oppose the movement!" asked reporter. "Probably it would. and that 1 ,he reason the plan should be carried out Tho a: 1 1. 11.. Lu.i. .r j ume uas come wuen tueoiuio lair grouuus should be converted into residence property, and the members of the board would undoubtedly sell befqre they would pay their share of the expense, wnich would be something near 20,000. They have been offered $300,000 for the land, and for 50.000 thev could buy a (rood location in another part of the city. Then let them spend another $50,000 on a one-mile tracK and other improvements, and they will have a balance of $200,000 in the treasury.' By making a sewer of the State ditch the people would be benefited and the State fair grounds would be moved." CHEAT MEN AND THE INTERVIEWER. Ability and Disposition of Tublie Men to Furnish Material to the Newspaper Writer. Frank A. Burr, in September Uppincott. Until recently Mr. Blaine has been one of the most difficult men in the country to interview, and even now will only talk for publication with his most intimate friends in the profession, and then almost always insists upon revising the interview. Alexander II. Stephens was equally particular. Time and again while Mr. Bltine was engaged in his hardest political struggles I have tried to get a few words for my papers upon the results he had accomplished. I remember that only two years before he was beaten for the presidential nomination in lbSO.. and then became the Secretary of State in Garfield's Cabinet, I was a guest at his house in Augusta. He had just won one of the most bitterly contested State campaigns in his political career. I asked him for a statement of the situation and some little story of how he had won the battle. Senator Hale was present at the moment. Mr. Blaine turned to me quickly and said, pleasantly: Oh, interview Hale. He can tell you all about it I do detest being quoted in the newspapers in the form of an interview." Two years later, when he was assailed about his South American policy, one of the most important incidents of his remarkable career, he at once sought the form of an interview, and two long ones from him were printed in nearly every newspaper in the land. He wanted to reach the ,. general public, as well as the statesmen of the country, and he acknowledged that the only way to do it successfully was in a conversational form. Since that time he has always sought the interview when attacked upon any important matter which he desires to 'answer. No greater tribute could be paid to the efficiency of thistdass of newspaper work. General Grant was the best man to interview I ever met. He would only talk to a person whom he knew well, and then he could tell you exactly what you wanted to know in fewer words than any man I ever made an inquiry of. He was very pleasant to newspaper men in whom he had confidence; but when one came about whom he did not know or trust, you couldn't get a word out of him with a crowbar. He never cared much to talk for publication, and never did to any extent upon public matters except to John Russell Young, who, by the way, is one of the ablest and most successful interviewers of any time. He alone among scores of daily toilers with the pen of this day is equally able as an editor, correspondent, descriptive writer, or tapper of sap from all sorts of fountains 'of information. Koscoe Conkling was the only pablio man I ever met who never would be interviewed for publication upon any subject whatever. He once told me that he would rather have a mad-dog set upon him than to have a newspaper man sent after him for a talk. Two or three times in his life, interviews were printed with him, which he never intended should go beyond the privacy of his room, and ho never forgave the men who quoted him. He had one able correspondent discharged from the Herald for publishing a talk with him which occurred at the breakfast-table, and Mr. Bennett directed that ho should never again write for hiapaper. David Davis.conld not be interviewed. While he was a Justice of the Supreme Court it would not have been proper, and after ho became a United States Senator he always believed himself to be on the highroad to the presidency, and was afraid to talk, lest he might injure his chances of of getting there. I never approached him but once, and that was for the story of how Lincoln was nominated in 1SC0. I told him that I had already secured the recollections of two of the men who then operated with him, when he drew himself up aud said, very seriously: There are only four men who know the history of Mr. Lincoln's nomination, and any one of them would b a fool to tell it." Charles Sumner was by no means an easy man to be led into a talk upon public matters. After the passage of tho treaty of Washington I once interviewed him as to the meaning of the damage clause of the instrument. He was exceedingly dignified, although in his own apartments, with his dressing-gown on. He spoke with great deliberation and to the point. I could readily remember everything that he said, although be was talking upon a very important subject. Cob Kobert G. Ingersoll, like General Gordon, of Georgia, is just the kind of man that a journalist likes to meet for business purposes. Both are fine talkers and say original things. If the subject is very important. Colonel Ingersoll will write it out for you while you wait. Ho does dislike to be misquoted, and he says that interviewers so often miss the mark that ho prefers to do the work himself when he will talk at all. - John Sherman is a difficult man to interview; but he does not seriously object to it. In fact, he is very pleasant with a writer he knows. But, despite his great ability, he is not fluent, and it is very hard to get from the very best work with him anything more than a cold statement of facts. Senator Edmunds can never be interviewed upon any subject. His chum while in the Senate, Senator Thurraan. nicknamed the "Old Roman." was very much like him. Gen. Ben Butler is a capital subject for tho interviewer. ' He likes that form of addressing the public. He always talks with spirit and originality. Any man to whom he will speak at all can always get a good story from him that is full of meat; but he usually wants to revise it before it is printed. He is very particular. Ex-President Cleveland is usually a good man to seek information from. He is quite easy of access, and does not waste any words in what he has to say. Ex-Uovernor Foster, of Ohio, next to General Grant is the most perfect man I ever met for interviewing purposes. He always gets in a good deal of his personality and imparts a zest to his words. Business men, as a rule, are rather undesirable customers for the journalist. They are careful about what they say, and have few entertaining subjects to talk about To a gieater or less extent this is true of lawyers. Ex-Governor

Aubrey's Journey from Santa Fe to Independence in 133 Hours. Kansas City Star. F. X. Aubrey was a famous rider ip the early days of the "commerce of the prairies." tAubrey "was born in Canada of French parents and drifted to St. Louis about six or eight years before the breaking out of the Mexican war. lie was a man of perfect physique and, like the majority of adventurers into the far West, soon became attracted by the adventurous life the great plains afforded and entered on the exciting vocation of a Santa Fe trader. After he had been on the plains about ten years and had become one of the most wonderful horsemen in the whole country ho made two remarkable rides from Santa Fe to Independence, Mo., the first on a waser that he could make the trip in eight days and the other that he could beat his own record. The amount of money on the former was only $1,000, but on the latter a very much larger sum. Aubrey won both bets, but at an awful sacrifice of sleep and with much physical pain. lie rode a largo number of horses which were posted at short intervals along the long route, and on his first trip six of them dropped in their tracks under him as he rode them. The time be was to consume on the first trip was limited to 102 hours, and he reached the plaza at Independence, a distance of 800 miles, with three hours to spare. On that first trip it is related that he killed one horse very soon after he had left the station and was compelled to walk and carry his saddle to the next, which was in the vicinity of Council Grove, nearly twenty-live miles away. The next wager was that ho would make the 800 miles iu 144 hours, or forty -eight less than on his former trip. He rode his favorite mare Nellie the first day ont from t5anta Fe, and she fell dead after ho had ridden a prodidious number of miles. He won the wager, with eleven hours to Hpare. but he was nearly dead when hit friends pulled him off his borso at the southwest corner of the plaza in Independence, where ho immediately fell in a profound sum ber, from which he did not awake for more than two days. Aubrey did not return to Santa Fe after his last ride for three years, and almost at the very moment that he entered the quaint old city ho was murdered. The aflair occurred in a saloon where he had gone on invitation of an old friend, an ex-oilicer of the regular army. Aubrey said something that his friend did not like, and he threw the liquor that he had just poured out into Aubrey's face. Aubrey drew his revolver, but before be could lire he was stabbed with a bowio knife to the heart Where ho was buried is unknown to this day. AN OLI KICKER. AT THE HOTEL Presented Him with an Address and Escorted IIlmto the Depot. Plttsbarg Chronicle, . For the first three weeks we had an old kicker at our hotel. He wasn't a general kicker, but only kicked on one thingthe sashes worn by the lolly-pop voudk men who came down to mash tho sea. The instant one 6howed up on tho veranda the old kicker would xnako up to him and whisper: "If it hasn't run too long I can cure you in a week." "WhatP "Your rupture. I see you wear a truss. Never saw one worn outside before, but it may be a good idea." This is no truss. This is a sash." Oh awexcuse me. Thought it was something now in trusses. 1 hen you aren't ruptured!'' No sir." Somuch the better." An hour later he would make cp to the same chap again and inquire: Rupture any better!'' I)idn't Isay 1 had no rupture!" Oh awcertain !j Uut you still wear a truss, I see." Truss! This is a sash." On. 1 sue! Yes, yes!" Aud on the second day of his stay that sash would disappear, never to be seen again. The old kicker worked the guy on twenty of theui, and tho day be went away we presented him with an address and escorted him to the depot.
