in the cmmnzltee on foreigi 192111: 1.1., to
the DingLey bill for the extermination of
the fur seals of Alaska in case of the (‘1‘-
fusal of England, Japan and Russia to
- agree to arbitration for their better pru-
tection, has completed a minority repmr.
He takes strong ground against the bill,
both on the score of humanity and of in‘
ternational rights. He says the. seals find
in the ocean their worst enemy. the pelag—
ic sealer. The sealer's work is (lescri 3ed
as “outlawed by the universal sense of
humanity,” and he criticises the bill as
an effort to foil this enemy by placing
this inhumane destruction in the hands 01"
the agents of the government. The opin-
ion is expressed that the other govern-
ments will accept the bill as a banter and
an insincere threat and will refuse to no-
gotiate with us.
The senator thinks it improbable that
Russia and Japan would unite in the
cruel policy of destruction unless they
should do so for the mercenary purpose of
enhancing the value of their own herds,
which he does not believe those govern-
ments are capable of doing. No good re-
sult, he asserts, can come from the adop-
tion of the policy proposed. He says it is
a hazardous and unwise act of congress to
anticipate 'the executive in any matter
that can be settled by treaty and states
that it is understood that this government
is now engaged in diplomatic correspond-
ence on this subject with a prospect 01
success. This undertaking would be most
likely interrupted by the passage of the
pending bill.
Mr. Morgan says that the United States
is bound by the Paris treaty as long as it
is in force and that the treaty cannot be
disregarded while in force without re-
sponsibility on our part to the govern-
ment of Great Britain. If the treaty is
not satisfactory to the United States. the
remedy is by abrogation and not by its
violation.
HE DBFIES ARREST.
Etlinger Barricades His House and Shoots
Any One Coming Too Near.
BELLEF‘ONTE, Pa., March 7.—The situa-
tion at Woodward is practically unchanged
in regard to the attempt to arrest William
Etlinger, who yesterday, in resisting ar-
rest, shot Constables John L. Barrier and
Etlinger was still bar-
ricaded in his house with his family and
defied arrest. He usedhis gun frequently.
The house today was surrounded by at
least 2,000 persons. all of whom, however,
remained at a safe distance. The sheriff,
with his posse, was still at the scene.
Members of the sheriff’s posse returned
to Bellefonte and said that five or six per~
sons in addition to those reported had been
shot by Etlinger, but were not dangerous-
ly hurt.
The sheriff has sent for 25 additional
deputies and a new supply of ammunition.
He would burn the house or blow it up
with dynamite were it not for the Etllnger
children, who are in the house.

THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH.
Customs in Regard to His Treatment Are
Slowly Changing.
The southern people say that a north—-
ern man, afterliving south a few years,
is a. fierce negro-hater, far outdoing
the southern man in his antagonism
to the negro race, much more intoler-
ant of the negro’s inherent character-
istics. It is, however, the northern
people who are helping the negroes to
educate themselves. This is not said
in criticism of the southern people,
i' or conditions were made for them long
ago, and their feelings and opinions
in regard to the whole negro qu‘éStion
are the result of hereditary environ-
ment, which will in time be changed
by the new conditions.
It is simply impossible for them to
look at the negro as we do. Illustra-
tions of this are constantly met in
going about the city. One. morning

a ’bus driver on his way Lack from
the grounds drew up his horse; to the
walk, where several were waiting for
the car, and said if we would make up
a load he would turn around. \Then
we started off there was room for two
more in the ’bus and room for one. on
the seat with the driver. I sat next to
the driver on the inside, and we had
gone only a few rods when a neatly-
(lresscd, very respectable young col-1
ored woman and a. boy, also well-
dressed, signified by a slight gesture
that they wanted to ride. The driver
did not see it, so I said: “"here are
two passengers.” lie drew up to the
walk and the woman and boy got in.
The driver looked around at them, and
then, utterly regardless of their feel-
ings, said in a. loud voice: “ If I had
ixn0wn it. was a nigger I wouldn’t have
stopped.” But he did not turn them
out. A few rods further an. Italian,
dirty and ill-kept, stood with his harp
by his side, as-if he also were waiting
for a ride, and our driver pulled up his
horses and pointed to the seat beside
him; but the harpist was not ready
to go, so we drove on.
It is simply a confliction of ideas.
not personal antipathy. A young
southern woman was shocked because
we two northern women went to lunch
in the negro building. She acknowl-
edged that a colored cook always pre-
pared hcr meals, and a colored waiter
always served her, but to go to a res-
taurant. where a colored man’s brain
managed the business, and a colored
man or woman might occupy a table
next to you—that she could not con-
ceive of a white person‘s doing.
The negro has, however, made a
great stride by this exhibition. Not
so much by the simple showing what
they can. manufacture as by the fact-
thut they are allowed to do it, in such
a peaceable and even friendly way,
and have. brains enough to manage
their department, and to manage it
so well. It seems there was some mis'
understanding at the outset, for their
are notices put up all through the'ne'
gro building stating that colored peo-
ple are not restricted to their own;
building, but are at liberty to go wher- '
ever they please inside the grounds,
enjoying the same privileges as their
white neighbors—Springfield (Mass);

DID NOT HOLD HIS PEACE.
As a Result the Wedding Proceeded with
Another Groom.
“I attended a mountain wedding in
McDowell count-y, W. V 11.,” said a writer
in the Washington Star. “Everything
went along smoothly at first. The
cabin was brilliantly lighted with can-
dles and one of the best fiddlers in the
country was present, to furnish music
for the dance to follow the wedding
ceremony. Nothing occurred to mar
the proceedings until the minis! er came.
to the point. where'he invited anyone
who had anything to say why the cou-
ple should not enter the bonds of mat-
rimony to speak or thereafter hold his
peace, when a rough-lookingmountain--
eer arose and said:
“ ‘Anything ter say, person? Wall,
I reckon I hev. I hev allus intended
ter marry that gal myself, an’ thet
feller knowed it, so he jess kep’ outen
my way. I sent ’im word to prepare
for a lickin‘, an’ be lef’- the country,
but kep’ a-writin ter the gal. Now,
I’m here for make my word good, an‘
’fore' this hyal‘ event goes any farder,
the taller-faced coward has me ter
fight.’
“In vain the preacher tried to restore
order. A ring was soon squared in
the center of the room and the men
went at it. In about ten minutes the
groom announced that he had enough,
and the victor, taking the arm of the
blushing bride, deliberately changed
the gnocm’s name in the marriage li-
cense to his own, while the vanquished
lover made his escape. Everybody ap-
peared to be satisfied, and the marriage
took place as though nothing had oc-
curred to mar the solemnity of the occa-
sion.”
SAVED HER WHEN A BABY.
And Thirty Years After He Met and Mar-
' . ricd Her.
A romantic marriage occurred at At-
lanta a few days ago, the parties to it
being Mr. H. I‘. Bailey, of Jackson,
Miss, and Miss Hodges, of Virginia
Mr. Bailey' ls somewhat past 50 years of
age and the bride is about 30, says or.
or change.
The couple first met during the war.
xv hen Miss Hodges was a. baby. It ha p
pened when the northern soldiers ap-
proached Jackson, Miss. The parents
of Miss Hodges resided there atthe
time, and when thc'grand rush to
avoid the Yankees was made Mr.
Bailey, then a. confederate soldier, se-
cured a. wagon and moved the Hodges
family. In the hurry and excitement
the little girl was forgotten, and she
was not missed until the family had
gone several miles.
Mr. Bailey volunteered to go back
and find her, which he did. The child
was found in the road near her home
crying. Mr. Bailey carried her to her
parents.
Soon after that Mr Hodges moved
with his family to Virginia, and Mr.
'Bailey saw them no more for 30 years.
Last year, says the Chicago News,
, his wife died, and it occurred to him to
look up his old friends and see what
had become of the little girl whom he
had saved from the invaders in the
long- ago. He went to Virginia and
found her teaching school. They cor-
responded and agreed to meet at At-
ta during the fair and be married.
VALUABLE COLOR TEST.
How the Course. of Water in German
Rivers Was Determined.
A color test on a. large scale occurred
recently near Geseke, Germany. The
Yolmcd, the “laid and the Heder are
three brooks which have their source
near Geseke, andaccordmg to tradition
their waters had subterranean connec—
tion with the Alme, a mOuntain stream
whose bed is some five miles distazh
Millers located on the lower Aline, so s
the Philadelphia Times, dumped refuse
in certain odd ies of the upper portion of
the stream, and the millcrs on the I'm—
mode, the Weld and the Heder claimed
that by doing this the water supply of
the latter streams was materially di-
minished. To determine the connec-
tion about four pounds of potassium
‘fluorescinate was dumped into one of
the l-Iedcr. This substance is marvel-
ously perverful, and a solution contain-
ing one part in 10,000,000 shows a dis-
tinct fluorescence in transmitted light.
Twenty-five hours later the ‘Hedcr tool;
on a beautiful dark green color, show-
ing conclusively the connection between
the two streams. An experiment at
another point showed with equal clear
ness that there was a subterraneancon-
nection between the Waid and the
Volmede, though in this case {14 hours
elapsed between the depositing of the
dye stuff in the Aime and the appear--
ance of the coloration in the other
streams.

, Wonderful Surgery.
’ Medical students who are engaged
in the study of ophthalmology are still
wondering at the feat Dr. I'leming
(.‘arrow, professor of that branch in
the University of Michigan, performed
upon a young man last week. This
patient had completely lost the sight
of one eye through disease, and, in
order to prevent the contagion from
spreading, Dr. Carrow inserted a. small,
thin watch crystal beneath the lid'of
the other eye. So far the experiment. ‘
seems to be very successful, and it is
expected that the flesh will knit close-
ly around the watch crystal so as to
permit no impurities to enter. Mean-
while the pat-ient seems to be quite
well.
