PARIS, Aus:. 15 At 9 o'clock this morning the Boring sea arbitrators h id a private session in a room occupied by the officials of the department of foreign affairs at the Qtiai d'Orsai. At 11 o'clock the arbitrators reassembled In the room in the foreign oiliee in which the public sessions of the tribunal have been h.M. J'.aron de Courcel, the president of the tribunal, then delivered to the agents of the United flutes and Great Britain original copies of the decision, signed by all the arbitrators. Afterward Baron de Coined addressed the arbitrators, saying that he recognized the great value of arbitration as a cause of peace between nations, lie expressed the opinion that every international arbitration renders war less probable, and paid ho looked forward to the time in the near future when It would be the rule, and not the exception to settle International differences in this Tvay. Senator John T. Morgan, one of the American arbitrators, and Lord Hannen, one of the arbitrators appointed by Greiit Britain. resndl to Baron de Courcel, declaring that they reciprocated the sentiment expressed by him and recognized the hospitality extended by France to the arbitrators. The Session terminated amid mutual congratulations and expressions of good feeling. The eixloii. After a preamble stating the case submitted for decision, the full text of the award runs as folows: "We decide and determine as to the five points mentioned in article 6. as to which our award is to embrace a distinct decision upon each of them. As to the first of sail five points we, Baron de Courcel, Jrlm M. Harlan". Lord Hannen, fir John f. D. Thompson. Marquis Emilio Visconti-Vanosta ami Gregero W. W. Gram, being a majority of said arbitrators, do decide as follows: By the ukase of 1S21 Russia claimed jurisdiction in the sea, now known as Bering sea, to the extent of 100 Italian miles from the coasts and islands belonging to her, but in the course of the negotiations, which led to the conclusion of the treaty of 1S24 with the United States and the treaty of 1S23 with Great Britain, Russia admitted that her jurisdiction in said sea should be restricted so as to reach a cannon shot from shore. It appears that from that time up to the t'me of the cession of Alaska to the United States Russia never asserted in fact or exercised any exclusive jurisdiction in the Bering sea, or any exclusive rights to the seal fisheries therein beyond the ordinary limit of the territorial waters. "As to the second of the five points, we. Baron de Courcel, John Harlan, Lord Hannen, Sir John S. D. ThompEon, Marquis Emilio Visconti-Venosta and Gregero W. W. Gram, being a majority of said arbitrators, decide and determine that Great Britain did not recognize or concede any claim upon the part of Russia to exclusive jurisdiction as to the seal fisheries in Bering sea outside the ordinary territorial waters. "As to the third point, as to so much thereof as requires us to decide whether the body of water known as Bering sea was included .in the phrase 'Pacific ocean, as used in the treaty of 1S25 between Great Britain anl Russia, we unanimously determine that the body of water now known as Bering sea was included in the phrase Pac ilic ocean as used in said treaty. "On the fourth point we decide and determine that all the rights of liussia to jurisdiction and to the seal fisheries passed to the United States, limted by the cession. "On the fifth point we decide and determine that the United States has no right to the protection of or property in the seals frequenting the islands of the United States in Bering sea when found outside the ordinary three-mile limit. This last decision was made by Arbitrators John L. Morgan, Baron de Courcel. Marquis Visconti-Venosta and Judge Gram, Loid Hannen, John M. Harlan and Sir John Thompson dissenting." The Iteitnlatlonn. The following regulations were adopted by a majority of the arbitration commission, Mr. Harlan and Sir John Thompson dissenting: Article 1. The United States and Great Britain shall forbid their citizens and subjects, respectively, to kill, capture or pursue, at any time or In any manner whatever, the animals commonly called fur seals within a zone of sixty miles around the I'rybyloff islands, inclusive of the territorial waters, the miles being geographical miles, sixty to a degree of latitude. Art. 2. The two governments shall forbid their citizens or subjects to kill, capture or pursue in any manner whatever, during a season extending in each year from May 1 to July 31, inclusive, fur seals on the high sea In that part of the Pacific ocean, Inclusive of Bering sea situated north of the thirty-fifth degree of north latitude or eastward on the ISO degree of longitude from Greenwich until it strikes the water boundary described in article 1 of the treaty of 1SS7 bet wen th? United States and Russia, following that line up to Bering straits. Art. 3. During the period of time in the waters In which fur sealing Is al
lowed, only sailing vessels shall be permitted to carry on, or take part In fur sealing operations. They will, however, be at liberty to avail themselves of the use of such canoes or undecked boats, propelled by paddles or oars or sails as are in common' use as fishing boats. Art. 4. Each sailing vessel authorized to carry on fur sealing must be provided with a special license issued for the purpose by its government. Each vessel so employed shall be required to carry a distinguishing flag prescribed by Its government. Art. 5. The masters of vessels engaged In fur sealing shall enter accurately in an official log book the date and place of each operation, the number and the sex of the seals captured daily. These entries shall be communicated by each of the two governments to each other at the end of each season. Art. 6. The use of nets, fire arms or explosives Is forbidden in' fur sealing. This restriction snail not apply to shotguns when such are used In fishing outside of Bering sea, during the season when such may lawfully be carried on. Art. 7. The two governments shall take measures to control the fitness of the men authorized to engage in sealing. These men shall have been proved lit to handle with sufficient skill the weapons with which seal fishing in carried on. Art. S. The preceding regulations shall not apply to Indians dwelling on the coast of the territories of the United States or Great Britain carrying on fur sealing in canoes or undecked boats, not transported by or used in connection with other vessels and propelled wholly by paddles, oars or sails, and manned by no more than five persons in the way hitherto practiced by the Indians, provided that such Indians are not employed by other persons and provided that when so hunting in eanoea or undecked boats the Indians shall not hunt fur seals outside the territorial waters under contract, or deliver skins to anybnd y. This exemption not to be c-onstriK-d to affect the municipal law of either country, nor shall it extend to the waters of Bering sea or the waters around the Aleutian islands. Nothing herein contained Is intended to Interfere with the employment of Indians as hunters, or otherwise in connection with sealing vessels as heretofore. Art. 9. The concurrent regulations hereby determined with a view to the protection of the fur seals shall remain in force until they have been wholly or in part abolished or modified by a common agreement between the United States and Great Britain. Said concurrent regulations shall be submitted every five years to a new examination, in c.KHr to enable both governments to, consider whether in the light of past experience there Is occasion to make any modification thereon. The arbitrators make a special finding on the facts agreed upon by the agents of both governments with reference to the seizure ot British vessels in Bering sea in 1SS7 and lnsi. In addition the arbitrators make certain suggestions to the two governments, th most important being that they should come to an understanding to prohibit the killing of seals on land or sea for a period of from one to three years and should enact regulations to carry out the Undines of the arbitrators. The consensus of opinion among the American agents and counsel Is that though techanical success rests with Great Britain on legal points, on practical grounds the victory is to the United States, as the arbitration was entered upon to preserve the seals and the decision accomplishes that result. Alter the Rattle. The question of the amount of damages for seizure of British vessels in Bering sea was not submitted to the arbitrators, but by mutual consent was reserved by treaty for future negotiations. In an interview given this evening Justice Harlan expressed the opinion, in agreement with John W. Foster, that the regulations specified by the tribunal would check pelagic sealing and thus go far to accomplishing one of the chief aims of the United States. The general result of the arbitration, he thought, was far in advance of anything that had been demanded. The members of the tribunal reserved the right to prepare and file individual opinions In the case at any time before next Jan. 1. Justice Harlan will proceed to Switzerland to prepare there his opinion. He will sail with his family for America probably Sept. 27. Senator Morgan will leave Paris Thursday and will sail on the steamer New York from Southampton on Saturday. Sir Charles Russell, British counsel, and Charles II. Tapper, British agent, have left for London. All the Englishmen connected with the tribunal are exceedingly reticent and apparently are disappointed because it was not more unfavorable to the United States.
AT WASIIINUTOX. The State Depart men t Xot Greatly 1 I ma ppo I a t ed . WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 15 News of the Bering sea decision was not received at the state department with that degree of disappointment that might be supposed. Private information had come to the department that matters in Paris were not looking favorable for the case of the United States, and the recent forecastings of the decision, which have appeared in the British newspapers have been received with much more attention than is usually accorded to the ordinary rumor from abroad concerning international affairs. Beside, there has not always been extreme confidence in administration circles In the strength of the case of the United States, and considerable difference of opinion has existed as to the Justice of the claims made by this government. Some weeks ago a dispatch from Paris to the Pall Mall Gazette gave what purported to be a partial decision of the arbitrators against the United States. This dispatch was shown to Secreary Gresham. with the queston if he did not think it Improbable because Immature. Mr. Gresham replied that while he had no advices bearing on the subject of a decision the information contained in the dispatch was of so direct a character that it seemed to him to possess the elements of truth. From this and other remarks made by the state department officials the impression was created that the government had received private information that an adverse decision might be expected. Secretary Grewham's first definite Information coftcerning the decision handed down todly came to him early this morning In a cable message from the Hon. John W. Foster, ex-secretary of state, and agent for the United Stp.tes in the arbitration. Secretary Gresham was asked to give an expression of opinion on the decision, but thi3 he declined to do, holding that it would not be proper for him to comment on the matter. Mr. Gresham communicated the news to President Cleveland at Gray Gables, and also had a Ion? conference with Secretary Carlisle, presumably with reference to future action concerning the maintenance of our fleet in Bering sea. It is probable that all the vessels composing it will be withdrawn, with the exception of one of the revenue cutters,
which will be used in maintaining the protective zone of sixty miles about the sealing islands of the United States, in accordance with the decifion of the arbitrators. The regulations of the arbitrators appended to the decision are adopted under Art. VII of the treaty of arbitration. These regulations are based on an agreement submitted by a joint commission appointed by Great Britain and the United States. In accordance with Art. V of the convention for the renewal of the modus. vivendi, the decision of the arbitrators will compel the United States to make compensation to Great Britain, for the use of her subjects, for abstaining from the capture of seals in Bering sea during the pendency of the arbitration. This article deals only with damages for the short period during which the arbitration proceedings were being conducted and does not touch the question of damages prior to that time. Questions of fact were submitted to the tribunal and the arbitrators have handed down a special finding on them with reference to the seizure of British vessels in Bering sea in 1S87 and 1SS9. Further information is awaited as to the nature of this finding, which will probably afford a clue to the measure of damages likely to be assessed against the United States. Senator Butler, of the senate committee on foreign relations, said: "The award gave even moro than we expected. "I never believed." said the senator, "that the contention of the United States that the Bering sea was a closed sea, could be maintained. The sea was too large a body of water for such a claim to ba exercised over, and, necessarily, the court having deckled against us on that point, the others Incorporated under the first four sections of Art. VI. of the treaty, fell with it. The chief thing in which we were interested was the prevention of that kind of sealing which is surely destroying the seal life, and if England intends to join with us in the preservation of the seals and establishes a, closed season between certain dates in both the Northern Pacific and the Bering sea. we have achieved a victory and gained the material point." "I am disappointed about this . decision," said Senator Frye, "fori believed the court would hold that we had a property right in the seals. It raises a very serious question as to the liability for past action, which I am not now prepared to discuss. Of course, so far as the decision goes in the direction of protecting the seals, I am gratified, though I do not think it goes far enough. I don't think pelagic sealing should be permitted at all. Looking at the whole subject. I am inclined to think that the sealeries of .Alaska are about destroyed already." Senator Sherman said: "I think the adjustment of the close season and the protection of the islands for sixty miles ami the extension of measures for the prevention of pelagic sealing to the Northern Pacific as well as the Bering sea are very acceptable. I do not wish to say anything about the decision as to the five points until I have read the full award."
TWO TOWNS DESTROYED i iv the korkst ruing xow raging IN .MICHIGAN. The Resident of Matchwood Forced to Abandon Everything and Save Their Liven llruce C'ronjtlnjjf Wiped Out Fatalities Reported. Other Firen. EWEN, Mich., Aug. 15. Matchwood, a town of 200 inhabitants, on the Duluth. South Shore & Atlantic railway, twenty-five miles south of Ontonagon, was almost entirely wiped out by fire yesterday afternoon. The people saved little, being compelled to fly for their lives. They need money, provisions and clothing. The Duluth & South Shore sent a special train to bring the homeless to Ewen for shelter and food. The flames crept from the burning forests, and everything was so dry that before the people realized their danger the town was in flames, and it was a scramble among the terrified people to save themselves. The loss is estimated at $50.000. Bruce Crossing, a small town, was totally destroyed Sunday night. It is reported that the wife and child of a lumberman are missing and are supposed to be burned. VICTORIA'S HEIGX. Xo Other EnR-llah Sovereign Han Come Xear It for Ileal Duration. The New Haven Palladium has this to say of the reigns of the three sovereigns who have remained longest on the throne of Great Britain: Queen Victoria has now reigned longer than any English sovereign except her grandfather. George III. who reigned fifty-nine years and ninety-seven days. A few days ago she passed the record of Henry III, who reigned jlfty-six years and twenty-nine days. In one respect she has exceeded the records of either of those kings, for they were both insane for several years while they were on the throne. All conservative Englishmen hope the queen will live many years, for they dread what may come after her. She is likely to be the next to the last sovereign of Great Britain. Neither Henry HI nor George III can be rightfully said to have ruled or reigned so long as Victoria. Her grandfather, crazy more or less of the time after he had driven the American colonies into rebel'ion, was seized in 181) with his final attack, and during the remaining ten years of his insan.'ly (which lasted as lang as his Ufa) hij son, the dissolute "first gentleman in Europe," ruled as rezent, bCw-om.ng in 1S20 George IV. His father's reign did. not really last for a longer period than forty-nine years for a lunatic not properly a king. As to Henrv III, born in 1206, ten years also must be taken out of his long and wretcned nominal roign; for he was called to the throne when a child of eleven years. A coward and a notorious liar, like his father. KingJohn, he was forced, like that despicable fellow, to yield to the forces in arms that his misrulo had evoked. As his father by compulsion sign?d Magna Charta (1215), so his weak ron. fortythree years later, agreed to the transfer of his power to the barons. A few yeara later, when events, not his own force of character, had seemed to restore him to the throne, he was again beaten, by his relative Simon de Montfort, and compelled to agree to even more humiliating conditions. To call such a person's life a royal reign may not be to discredit the average run of Britlch royalty, from John to George IV., for no excess of vice or meanness could well discredit much of It; but it is the fair and just distinction of Queen Victoria that her reign has not only been a virtuous and clean one conspicuously In contrast with that of many who have reigned in England but It has been, In reality, longer than that of any of her predecessors. Whether she is or not to be placed in history as "the next to the last sovereign of Great Britain" is a question that time has not yet decided. The prediction may not Improbably- be verified by the fact. Impaired Digestion repaired by Beech- ! am'8 Pills.
SEVEN DEAD IN A CREEK.
FRIGHTFIL ACCIDENT TO A VIRGINIA IIA ILK OA IJ TIIA1X. r A Ilrldfce Gives Way I nder It and the the Passenger Coaches Drop to the Ilottom of the Stream The Enlne Saved by the Engineer's Quick -Work. DANVILLE, Va., Aug. 16. An awful accident occurred at the county line trestle, Just eas of Milton, this morning at 2:50 o'clock, y which two passenger coaches and a sleeper were precipitated into the creek below, a distance of sixty feet, killing seven persons outright and wounding a number of others. The train bound for Portsmouth left here at 11:30 this morning and wa3 the regular train. After passing through Milton and going over the trestle. Engineer Teyton Tunstall, who says he was running at the rate of ten miles an hour, felt the bridge giving way. He through open the throttle and the engine, tender and box car got safely over, but the passenger car was too lu'e and the span went down under its weight, the second passenger car nd sleeping car following. The cars were shivered Into kindlingwood and the escape of any of the passengers was miraculous. The water In the creek had risen to the depth of twelve or more feet, and It Is the general belief the rise had undermined the foundation of the iron piers, causing the trestle to settle. On the" train were about sixteen persons, including the train hands, but only one of the latter Conductor II. Morris of Portsmouth was killled, none of the others receiving serious injuries. In the sleeper were Mrs. Harvey Giersch, two children and nurse, of Winston, N. C; Conductor J. L. Slser of Richmond and J. R. Townes, colored porter. The nurse was drowned and the conductor and porter were slightly injured. Mrs. Giersch was on her way to Lawrencevllle to visit friends. The depot agent at Milton heard the crash and immediately gave the alarm by tolling the bell. The people turned out in full force and went to work at once to rescue "the dead and injured from the debris. Mr. J. L. Siser, the Pullman conductor, in speaking of the accident, says: "I had ju&t gotten through my collections and had reported to Conductor Morris, who had passed forward on the train, and was preparing to retire when the crash came. Fortunately I was In the forward end of the car. Mrs. Glersch's nurse was on the rear end of the car where she was found with her head and chest under the water, and was most probably drowned, as there was no heavy timber or anything else on her body that might have caused her death." The little thirteen-year-old daughter of Mrs. Mersch, not realizing the danger through which she had passed, said to the rescuers: "Don't mind me; I am not hurt, but please take mamma out." The following is a list of Killed and wounded : P. MORRIS, conductor, Portsmouth, killed. W. A. ALLISON. Alton. Va.. killed. J. C. A. DAVIES, a farmer of Baskervllle. Va.. killed. W. II. ELAM of Durham, N. C, killed. JAMES S. LOWE, a railroad conductor from the West, who was a passenger, killed. THOMAS LEE, colored, of Winston, Va.. killed. FRANCIS JENKINS, colored, of Salem. N. C. killed. Mrs. Harvey Giersch of Salem, N. O, slightly wounded. J. L. Siser of Richmond, Va., Pullman conductor, foot mashed and hurt slightly inside. J. R. Townes, colored, porter on the Pullman, slightly bruised about the body. Davis, flagman, hurt about the head and face and foot sprained. None of the injured are seriously hurt. The dead were removed to the railroad depot at Milton, where they were kept until the arrival of the coroner from Halifax court house, the accident occurringon the Halifax side of the creek. The loss will be very heavy to th railroad, as the car3 and full span of the bridge are a total loss. The passengers, mail, baggage, freights, etc., are passing through, they being transferred at the creek. MISS I'OLLAKIVS FIRST LOVE. Aiding Her In the Effort to Ruin IlreeklnrldKe. , NEW YORK. Aug. 13. A Washington correspondent telegraphed his paper regarding the Breckinridge-Follard suit this story: "Miss Pollard when quite a young lady was sent to college by an elderly admirer upon condition that when her education was completed she would marry him. She met Breckinridge and her generous lover was discarded without explanation. Years elapsed and he meantime assumed that Miss Pollard's only reason for refusing to marry him was that he was not sufficiently educated and stylish for her. "Recently, when driven frantic by the marriage of Breckinridge to another woman and In- her dessolatlon, Miss Pollard confided the truth to her old admirer. "He possessed ample means and he promptly agreed to supply her with all the money necessary to procure ample revenge. He said he wanted to kill Breckinridge socially and politically; to condemn him to a life of ostracism; to make him an outcast, shunned by the people who had so long honored him. "It was through his persuasion that Miss Pollard consented to file her suit. The old admirer, who is not the senior of Breckinridge, not only sustains and supports the woman he fancied in her girlhood, but he is willing to mäke her his wife when he shall have driven Breckinridge to utter retirement." MONTH CARLO. Facts Abont the World's Greatest Gambling Place. The "Societe Anonyme des Bains de Mer et du Cercle des Etrangers," which in vulgar English means the company which runs the gambling hell at Monte Carlo, held Its general meeting recently, at which the business of the year was discussed. The winnings of the fiscal year were 28,000,000 francs, or 1.000,000 more than the previous year. The capital of tho company is 30,000,000 francs, bearing 5 per cent, interest, the dividends, which are always declared in May, varying. Last May 165 franca were paid on each share, the total revenue of each share being 190 francs, or 38 per cent. In each of the last six years 1,000,000 francs have been set aside as a reserve fund, which in 1913 will equal the capital of the company and will then be paid back to the stockholders. In addition to this the company will still possess all the buildings, gardens and other
realty. Each year the 1.230,000 paid him by the company for the privilege of carrying on their nefarious work In his province is applied by the present prince of Monaco to the building of churches, schools and hospitals. In addition the company pays the entire cost of government of the province. The population has the schools free and pays no taxes, but has no part In public affairs. The company pays the theater 200,000 francs yearly, the orchestra costs the same amount and the pay-roll for officers and servants, among them 100 croupiers, foots up 1,500,000. To the press is paid yearly 800.000 francs, one Paris paper alone receiving 75,000. others 25.000. and the provincial papers from 1,000 to 10.000, according to their Importance. Newspaper correspondents also, among them several Englishmen, stand on the list, paid not for what they write, but that they simply keep still. The company has also its "pensioners," people who have lost their whole fortune in play, and receive support in proportion to the amount which they have lost. For example, one Englishman who lost 2,000,000 receives 40 francs a day, another 10, and others the same amount per week. Among the other expenses is that of the removal of the victims of play. The hotel bill is paid, a railroad ticket bought and 20 or 40 francs given them according to the length of the journey. The entire expenses of the company are 11,250,000 francs yearly. The number of suicides during the last year was five. These happened in the hall itself, the numerous other cases never coming to llpht. A young American, having lost his own fortune and that of his mother and slsiter, threw himself under the wheels of a railroad train. Two Americans from New Orleans shot themselves not long ago after they had i.ist 1,000,000 francs! Harper's Weekl GOOD BYE, PROHIBITION.

Ia., Aug. 16. The feature of the republican state convention today was the formal turning down of prohibition, which, the party has made an issue for, many years. The platform, adopted after three hours' debate, declares that the democracy is responsible for the presmt financial stringency, because It threatens to wipe out the McKinley law, which It Indorses as the highest form of statesmanship. It declare for gold and silver money and their maintenance at parity; opposes state bank money. It indorses the Harrison administration and expresses the belief that it is the democratic purpose to destroy the whole pension system. It declares that "prohibition is no test of republicanism," and relegates the whole prohibition question to the consideration of the legislature. After the convention had assembled ex-Senator Hailan made a speech paving the way for the turning down of prohibition. A. minute later the committee on p'atform was announced and there was not a prohibitionist on it. When the platform was reported there was a three-hours' debate on the subject. But prohibition was killed. J. S. Lawrence of Sioux City was made chairman, but not without determined opposition. The following gentlemen were placed In nomination for governor: Gen. F. M. Deake of Centerville. W. H. Torbert cf Dubuque, F. D. Jackson of Des Moines. J. A. Lyons of Guthrie Center. L. S. Coffin of Ft. Dodge, E. S. Ormsby of Emmettsburg, Lafayette Young of Des Moines and Albert Head of Jefferson. Jackson was nominated for governor, Warren S. Dungan of Lucas for lieutenant-governor, J. W.

ASBURY PARK, N. J., Aug. 16. The eyebrows of all good folks here are elevated and frozen so with amazement. Mrs. Angeline Allen of Newark, a guest at the Lafayette hotel at this place, caused a sensation on Founder Bradley's board walk late this afternoon by appearing in an extremely decollete bathing suit, the skirt being exceptionally short, hardly reaching to her knees. Her limbs were encased In a pair of tights which barely came to her ankles. The sight of the woman In the abbreviated costume attracted the attention of several thousand people and It was with considerable difficulty that she managed to make her way to a neighboring photographer's. With the assistance of a policeman she managed to get back to her hotel, but before she entered the carriage that had been secured she was compelled to wrap herself in a sheet. Thousands of men followed her to the hotel. It was the first time In the history of Asbury park that a woman had appeared on the board walk in such costume. ATi-nnxT.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16. J. B. Brebner of Chicago is a non-resident member of the New York club, which has a choice location at Thirty-fifth-st. and Flfth-ave. Recently Mr. Brebner was in town and upon calling at the club to his amazement he found himself posted for nonpayment of dues. This fact gave Mr. Brebner a shock. Straightway he hunted up Club Treasurer Williams, to whom he exhibited a receipt for $160, being settlement In full of dues to a late date. The receipt was signed by Joseph V. Keeley, the club's cashier and head bookkeeper, who for years has been a trusted, though well-bonded employe. Keeley was given
a vacation and his books were overhauled while a detective watched th? bookkeeper. Today a warrant was issued and Xhi shadowing detective nabbed his man in a swell drinking place on Broadway. He was informed why he was arrested. "Am I the only one accused?" The detective nodded his head in reply. "Is that so? There are others." "What do you mean?" asked the detective. "Wait until my examination comes up. I wont talk now, but someone else will be in that when I get through," was all the explanation Keeley would give. Keeley was then taken to court where he was held in $2,000 bail. The accused cashier Is a good looking man of thirtyone years. He dresses stylishly and lives at an uptown hotel with his wife. He is believed to have misappropriated dues paid by the out-of-town members and played the races. His salary at the club was $125 a month with board and wine included.

The Dlfnoultlen of a Itailwav Company and nil Kleotrle Company Hesuit In ft Very Warm Riot In n Mii:irlioiielli Tonn Many I'eraons Injured. NORTH Ar.lNGDON, Mass., Aug. IS. There was a jolly row here today and some blood and several arrests. The selectmen this morning ordered officials of the New York. New Haven & Hartford to take up a blind track which they had laid during a fight with an electric road. If they did not comply the town would take it up. The officials of the electric road and their counsel went to Boston to apply for an injunction to restrain the railroad people from preventing the laying of rails across their road. The gangs of men of the railroad were kept a short distance away ready to block any move of the electric people. Superintendent Sanborn, who had charge of the forces, spent his time mainly in the telegraph office in communication with the higher officials at Boston. Shortly after 1 o'clock Superintendent Sanborn told Roadmaster Bryant to carry out his orders. Bryant called up his men, who were chiefly Italians, and they came with shovels, pickaxes, etc., and crowbars. In a moment it was seen that the orders were to tear up the electric road tracks. As the railroad men began work three officers reached each for a man to arrest. This the men resented and the Italians rushed in force upon the officers and citizens. Shovels and pickaxes were used fiercely and the Italians drove the citizens down North-ave. The fire alarm was rung and the hose company turned out, and, putting two streams on, drove the Italians back. They could not stand water. As they got to the crossing they pulled the gate-tender's house down and into the -middle of the l ?ad, using It as a barricade. The fire boys made it so lively that they rallied and charged, and rocks flew in every direction. Two thousand dollars' worth of plate glass was smashed in a few minutes, and not only those engaged in the battle, but spectators were Injured. Among those knocked do vn was Railroad Superintendent Sanborn. In the fight Inspector Bailey and Roadmaster Bryant were arrested and locked up. The Italians got the best of the unorganized force and cut the hose in pieces and broke the nozzles. A truce was then declared, Superintendent Sanborn calling off his men, although they stayed around for new orders. The selectmen sent to Boston to Chief Wade and he and a large posse of state police officers came out on a special train. There also came the president of the electric road with the injunction, which was served on Superintendent Sanborn, who was locked up after his men had been sent away. About twenty persons were more or less injured In the fight, two receiving bullet wounds, but no fatal results are feared. A Very Ilemarkahle Fly. The African tsetse fly is a small Insect rather larger than the common house fly, of a brown color, with a yellowish line down the center of the body. This fly attacks men and beasts both day and night. It can easily bite through kharkl breeches or flannel pajamas. Where It exists and it is extremely local It appears in much greater numbers on a dull or rainy day. Its bite in man, though very sharp and needle-like, leaves no irritation, and It Invariably chooses those parts that are shaded from the rays of the sun such as under the brim of the hat, behind the ear, neck and under the throat, if not protected by a beard. If allowed to suck itself full. Its body becomes so distended that it has the appearance of a small unripe purple grape, and it is unable to fly more than a few yards before settling. An African traveler says of It: "This fly is really harmless to human beings, but its efi'ect on domestic animals is of the mos, disastrous nature in fact, as far as my knowledge goes, all domestic animals, with the exception of goats and perhaps of the gray donkey, when struck by this fly are bound, sooner or later, to die. I do not believe that donkeys are Impervious to its bite, and I think that the wasting disease which kills off so many of them comes from the effect of being bitten by these flies. I have seen a bullock cut up after dying from these wasting symptoms, which I knew to have been bitten by the tsetse. The whole of the juices of the body were turned into greenish yellow slime."

AN ANTI-CHINESE CRUSADE
WHITE Mi: SAV TIIEV MIST HAVE THE JOIIS FIRST And Then If There In Demand fop More Lahor Ponnllily They Will Give the Poor Chinaman n Chance Violence .urruuly Averted. SAN FRANCISCO. Ausr. 15. A crusade against Chinese laborers has been started in Fresno and other places in the San Joaquin valley and seems to be spreading over the state. Owing to the financial troubles large numbers of white men are out of work, while many Chinese are employed steadily on ranches and vineyards. It looks a if the Chinese will be displaced. Thus far violence has loen narrowly averted. At Selma, a small town near Fresno, white men notilied the Chinese that they must leave town and make room for white laborers. At Fresno yesterday unemployed men to the number of over Gt0 held a meeting and paraded through the streets denouncing the Chinese. The crowd started toward Chinatown where 2,000 Chinese reside, but was diverted from its purpose by cool-headed citizens. The merchants and vineyardists of Fresno held a meeting and many of them announced that they would discharge their Chinese help and employ white labor. One man took thirty white men on the sjKt and marched them off to his vineyard. Another announced that In a few days he would have work for 200 men. Thus far there lias been no violence and it looks as if the unemployed white men in the San Joaquin valley would displace Chinese labor. At Tulare and other towns in that section the vineyardists and ranchers say they will employ whites. A bureau of registration has been established for white men and as they are needed they will be given work. A F1KMI1I DEED. Three Hoya lllown. to Atoms by a Practical Joker.

"Do you see how that cream has curdled in your coffee?" said a well-known caterer yesterday "You'd attribute that to its being sour. That's not the cause. The trouble is that very few people know how to pour a cup of coffee. It is almost the universal notion that the cream and sugar should be put in first and then the hot coffee poured upon this. This is a mistake, as it will almost invariably curdle th cream. You should first put the cream In the cup, then the coffee, and put the sugar in afterward if you use it and you will always have a good cup of coffee." Pittsburg Dispatch. Fun All Spoiled.
