The Behring Sea Question.
According to our dispatches yesterday
the local press of Victoria, B. C., is of the
i opinion that a rupture of the present
j friendly relations between England and
j this country is extremely probable. This
opinion is based upon the fact that three
British cruisers at that port have been or
dered to sail on June 15 for Behring sea, to
protect the English schooners which are
engaged there in catching seals. It is not
probable, however, that the local press of
Victoria knows moan about the matter. If
a rupture between England and this coun
try were imminent, the fact would be
known in London and Washington before
it would be known in Victoria.
The authorities at Washington do not ap
prehend any trouble with England. Sev
eral naval vessels have been ordered to
Behring sea, but they are not of a kind to
cope with the British vessels which are re
ported to have been ordered there. The
purpose of sending them there is to prevent
the illegal taking of seals in Behring sea.
The Alaska Commercial Company alone
has the right t o capture seals in American
waters, and the government is bound to
protect it in its right. The company’s lease
expires next spring, however, and it may
not be able to get it renewed.
It is possible that England does not in
tend to concede exclusive jurisdiction' of
Behring sea to this country. Canadians
are now engaged iu taking seals in that sea,
and they insist that they have the right to
do so. It is true that when this country
purchased Alaska of Russia the understand
ing was that it obtained jurisdiction of
Behring sea. Russia undertook to transfer
such jurisdiction. In the treaty which con
tains the evidence of the purchase it is
clearly stated that Russia transfers Alaska
and jurisdiction of Behring sea to this
country.
The question which arises, however, is
whether Russia bail any recognized right
in Behring sea that other nations did not
have. If she had not, thon she conveyed
no such rigot to this country.
It is certain that fris government clai ms
jurisdiction of Bering sea. The President,
m a proclamation a few weeks ago, stated
this claim very clearly. Is it the purpose
of the government to insist upon it if it is
resisted? That is the question that is now
being asked. Tue impression appears
to be that neither England nor auy
other European country will admit
that this country ha; exclusive jurisdiction
of Behring sea. The soa i; an immense one,
too large, iu fact, to be treated as if it were
au inland body of water. From present
indications the Bhring sea qestion will
soon command a good deal of attention
from this country and England, but it is
hardly probable that it will lead to a rup
ture between them.
The Baltimore Sensation.
The Rev. H. Greenfield Schorr, assistant
of St. Paul’s parish, Biltimore, an account
of whose suicide was published in our dis
patches on Monday last, was either insane
or wholly unfit for the performance of th'e
sacred duties of a minister of the gospel.
The most charitable conclusion is that he
was not in his right mind. He kept sec ret
the fact that he was the son of an humble
cobbler, who, by the way, appears to be a
very worthy ma'ti, because he wa3 ashamed
of his father. He permitted it to b3 under
stood that his family was a prominent one
in Central Maryland, and it is now known
that he possessed a remarkable faculty for
lying.
He was quite a favorite with women, be
cause of his pleasant maimers and excellent
conversational powers. In the letters which
he sent to the New York World a day or
two before his death, he declared that ho
was about to commit suicide because .Mrs.
Margaret M. Smith, a wealthy widow of
Baitim ire, refused to marry him after hav
ing promised to do so. It is alleged, h >w
ever, that he was entangled with three other
worn -n, one of whom he had promised to
marry.
He certainly acted the part of a coward
in sending the letters he had received from
Mrs. Smith, together with a photograph of
her, to a newspaper, and stating at the same
time that it was because of her conduct that
he was about to take his life.
Mrs. Smith is about 40 years of age. She
is rich and moves in Baitim ire’s be3t
society. She is a daughter of the late
Capt. Richard Fitzgerald, who wasa mem
ber of the firm or Fbzgerald, Booth <fc Cos.,
aud is a niece of Mr. Washington Booth.
Her letters to the Rev. Mr. Schorr show
that she is a refined and lovable woman,
an i that she is in no respect res.ionsible for
bis death. She told him that sue loved
him, but could not marry him, and the
reasons she gave for her determination were
very satisfactory ones. She toll
him that there was too gren
a difference in tbeir agts, she being 40 aud
he 29. His violent conduct on several occa
sions when he visited her alarms 1 her aud
led her to believe that she could never be
happy with him. Her iet’e-s are suuh as
any honest woman might write to a man
who had gained her rasp vet and love.
There is nothing in her published le.ters of
which Mrs. Smith has cause to be ashamed,
but the act of the Rev. Mr. Schorr ii giv
ing them to the press, with a statement in
tended to fasten the responsibility for his
death upon her, shows that in refusing to
marry him she acted wisely and escaped a
life of misery.
T e Ladies’ Memorial Association of

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1889.
More Land for the Landless.
Our dispatches yesterday leave little, if
any, doubt that the Sioux Indians will
almost ali sigu the agreement to accept the
proposition of t e government to sell 11.-
005,000 acres of their reservation, in accord
ance with the terms of the bill pissed by
the last congress. The commissioners
which have this matter in charge are at
present in conference with the Sioux chiefs
at Pierre, Dak. The agreement to be bind
ing must be signed by two-thirds of all the
Sioux Indians.
The Sioux reservation is an immense re
gion, containing about 22,000,000 acres. It
is bounded by the Niobrara river, in Ne
braska, on the south, the Cannon
Ball river, in North Dakota, on the
north, the 103d meridian on the west
and the Missouri rivbr on the east. It is
about 325 miles long and 140 miles wide.
This reservation has been an obstruction
to civilization fir a long time. No rail
roads ara permitted to be built through it
and none but Indians can occupy its lands.
Last year a government commission under
took to get the consent of the tribes to sell
a portion of i , but failed. Just before
Pres dent Arthur went out of office he
ordered the reservation to be thrown open
to settlement-. His administration was of
the opinion that the Indians had no title to
it. Mr. Cleveland's ad mi ms tra. ion took a
different view, and those who settled upon
it under Mr. Arthur’s proclamation were
ordered off of it.
The commission which undertook to get
the consent of the Indians to sell a portion
of this resorva ion last year was authorized
to offer 50 cents an acre for 11,000,030 acres.
The Indians considered that pries too low
and refused to sell. Congress, at its last
session, increased the price to $1 25 per
acre for all that may be entered by settlers
within throe years after the opening of the
reservation, 75 cants for that which may be
entered during the next two yeirs and 50
cents for that which may ba entered during
the next five year3. Of cours i the settlers
will have to pay these prices. All the
lauds not entered at the end of the last
mentioned period the government agrees to
take at 50 cents an acre.
The Sioux have n > use fnr the immense
body of laud in their reservation. They do
not cultivate much of it, and it is not now
rich in g imo. They want money, and the
money they will get frem the sale of the
part of their reservation which the govern
ment has offered to take will make them
comparatively rich.
The prospec. is that the signatures of the
Indians will be obtained within a very
short time, and then the lands will be
opened to settlement by a proclamation by
the President. There will be no need for
any further legislation by congress with
regard to them. No doubt there will be a
great rush to them because some of them
are very desirable.
Land hungry people will have a better
chance to get a good homes ead in the new
territory than there was in Oklahoma. It
is six time; as large as Oklahoma, and, it is
alleged, much more fertile. Ths climate is
rather against it, but it is noticeable that
cold weather does not seem t> discourage
immigration. Mere immigrant; have gone
to the northwest within the last few years
than to any other section of country.
The Indians are being crowded into nar
rower limits in all parts of the country in
which they still are. If they do not be
come civilized and adopt the customs and
methods that prevail among civilized people,
their numbers will steadily grow less uutil
they finally disappear. It is probable that
it will not be many years before the Sioux
will be ready to part with the greater part
of the remaining portion of their reserva
tion.
The Rev. J. C. Meyers of State Line, Ind.,
is a good mau and a good preacher, but that
fact did not save him from being struck by
lightning. Last Sunday he filled the pulpit
of the Christian church in New Liberty,
Fountain county,lndiana. While Mr.Mevers
was preaching a blinding bolt of lightning
descended, destroying the church chimney.
Following along the stovepipe, which ran
around the room, it crushed the two stoves
into fragments and tore up the floor. After
leaving the chimney the bolt separated, a id
a portion of it ran down the chandelier
over the pulpit, striking Mr. Meyers In the
back of the bead. He turned a somersault,
fell heavily to tho floor, and was thought to
ted?ad. He lay in an unconscious condi
tion for more than a half hour. On the
back of Mr. Meyers’ bead, where the light
ing struck him. is a bruised place about
the size of a silver dollar. His face appears
burnt, and his sight is nearly destroyed. Iu
future Mr. Myers will probably give the
New Liberty church a wide birth. The
lightning there seems to bo too familiar
with the pulpit.
The prospect is that some interesting bills
will bo introduced at the summer session of
the Ge rgia legislature. It was announced
a few weeks ago that Mr. Atkinson would
introduce one for the establishment of an
industrial school for girls, and now it is
stated that Mr. McDonald, of Ware
county, will introduce mns for compulsory
education. Probable Mr. McDonald was
eucouratted in his purpose by the recant ac
tion of tho New York legislature in passing
what was intended to boa very strict law
on this subject. New York has hal a com
pulsory education law fir some time, but it
has not .seemed to work vory well. That,
however, is not conclusive evidence that
one would not work well in Georgia,
Some of the preachers have caused soaa
tions lately. One of th sin was the Riv.
Mr. Schorr, of Baltimore, who committed
suicide because, ns he alleged, a worn in
wouldn’t marry him, and wuo, previous t>
his doa’h, sent bis si 1* of the story t> the
Now York World. Another is n Pennsyl
vania clergy mau who took the pulpit
against prohibition. Others are Revs. Fred
erick Bell aud T. E. Foster, tho former of
England, and the latter an O iioan, who
lately engaged in a fight in Coluinbis, O.
It is to be feared that those reverend gen
tlemen havo not *<t worthy examples for
their flocks to follow.
Tho republican organs are congratulating

An Incorrect Diagnosis.
From the Boston Transcript.
A business man and financier of the first rank
in Boston ii so absent-minded that beoccaaion
aliy iorg~ts to go to bia dinner. His customary
hour f ,i' this meal—when he remembers it—is 2
o'clock. The other dcy, quite absorbed in busi
ness, he worked stead.ly on until 4 o'clock, and
then began to have a quite natural sense of
emptiness an 1 yearning m his stomach.
"Dear me," he said, musingly, applying the
flat of his hand to his waKtcoat. "I wonder
what I ate for dinner that disagrees with me ■’’

Erskine M. Phelps of Chicago reached New
York on the Etruria Sunday, on his returm
from a three months’tour In Europe. At his
hotel in Nice he was introduced to Lord of
England. As he was smoking, he said to
Lord :
"Will you have a cigar?”
“Thank you; but I only smoke one brand,
the Henry Clay. •*
"All right. I'll order some."
The box was brought. It was embellished
with the familiar picture of "Harry of the
\\ eat." As he took his cigar. Lord —— said:
"When old CUy was alive he made a good
cigar, but his sons don't keep up his reputa
tion."
"Henry Clay! Why, he didn't make cigars;
he was a statesman, and ranked as high with
uv as (iladstoue or Jobu Bright do in your
country."
"1 beg your pardon. I've smoked these
cigars all my life, and 1 tell you old Clay made
a better cigar than his boys do.”

“W bo’s your mother?"
“Mrs. Blank."
"i'es, 1 thought so. Tell her she owes me $27.

"that’s what I've been lo cking for these last

A Large. If Not Noisy, 3ras3 Band.
From the San Franciscb Chronicle.
There is a law in Jersey (the isle where the
Lily grew) that every man is liable to military
duty, aud must turn out once a year to show
uimself as a soldier. There is nothing si war
like as a militia s ddier iu a time nf p_-aee. The
bandmaster was an exception to the rule I have
spoken of above, us governing musicians. He
must iiave been chock full of the divine afflatus,
because he was in debt to the butcher, the
ha er, the tailor, the public house, and every
tradesman in the piace. a most. Tht..gs were
looking verv blue for him when the time of the
annual t r lout arrived. Tne bills wero coming
in very lively, and a happy idea struck him.
Those men hated to go through tie military
business.;He went to them individually,and said
something to this effect:
"You’ve got a little bill against me."
"A big bill, you mean. ’
‘ Well, that’s all right; a bill. Now, you
don’t want to march in the ranks of this parade,
do you?"
"No."
"Y'ou say nothing about my bill and I’ll put
you in the band.”
The prop js.tion was accepted all around, and
when the day came the band was sixty strong,
nut there were only four real instruments. The
bandmaster called the band together and ad
dressed his creditors, who were all supplied
with dummy instruments:
"Now, look here! When you're marching
vou must puff out your cheeks and pretend,
but—don’t play, don’t make a sound. But when
you see an officer coming or you are marching
nast, blow for all you are worth and never mind
the tune."
It Cooled Him Off.
From the Washington Post.
Andre Matteson. who has been a journalistic
writer in Chicago ever since the day before the
lake came there, never becomes angry. He
hops rigut over anger and becomes mad. One
■ lay several years ago. when a collector named
Mulhearn, or something like it, had pestered
him beyond endurance. Mr. Matteson rushed
into t’ e office of K S. Trude, the attorney for
the Times, and said:
"Look here, Trude, I want to know some
thing. This infernal fellow Mulbearn has both
ered me until I can’t stand it any longer. Ho
comes to the office and annoys me so that i
can’t work, and he goes to my house and drives
my family nearly crazy. What I want to know
is whether there is any law aguin3t my taking
a club and smashing his head if he persists in
pestering me."
Mr. 'Trude calmly took down a copy of the
Illinois statutes, turned to the index, and con
sumed a good deal of time looking up and down
the column of M’s
“What are you looking for?" asked Matteson,
considerably cool9d by his long wait.
"Y’ou sa.i his name was Mulnearn, did you
not?”
“Y'es."
“Weil,” said the lawyer, seriously, "I don’t
find any such name in the stale laws 'and I pre
sume. tiiarefore. there is nothing unlawful in
the killing of a man named Mulr.earn. Still,”
he continued in a grave, business like manner,
"perhaps you would better not do anytning
abo t it until 1 look over some of the common
law autnorities. They may mention Mulh -am. ’
By this time Mr. Matteson was calm enough
to resume his work, and, with court.y tbar-ks
for Trude’a counsel, he returned to his own
office.
"Whenever Matteson becomts so mad he
can't work,” explained Mr Trude afterward,
"he comes to my office and asks some sucu
absurd question, and I always treat it in dead
earnest. It. seems to do him good; and the fun
niest part of it ad is neither of us ever treats
the matter us a joke, even after it is all over
with."

Ir s a mystery to me," said a New Y ork

either. Only yesterday I worked for three
hours over a woman whose lips were so be

came off generously with every use of tho

temples owed their delicate blue look to some
outside influence.
The Queen Dowager Marik of Bavaria, who

She was married at Beriin by procuration Oct.

Hugh MacLeod, crofter, Mcrefleld, parish of
Loch Broom, county of Ross. Scotland, was
born in the adjoining parish of Assynt, town
ship of Eiphin, Sutherlandshire, on Nov.
24, 1763, says an English contempo
rary, so that he is now in his 106th year. He is
stid "as straight as a lamp post." He says he
gets up in summer between 5 and 6a. m. and
goes to bed at 9p. m. In winter he r:s?satß
a. m. and retires at 10 p. m. “I had,” he says,
"to drop the croft, as I could not cultivate it at
last, but I still cut my own fire (peats), and I
carried home on my back a cresiful of peats
(eighty-four poundsi yesterday." Continuing,
he states: "I take porridge and milk for break
fast, as I always did throughout my life; pota
toes and l-e. rings and fish and mutton (salt)
when l can get it." While in this humor he ob
served that he had grown foniof tea. which
was unknown in his young days, and that he

The senior officer of the British navy, both as
regards rank and age, is Admiral Sir Provo
Wallis,who was a lieutenant on board the Shan
non when she captured the American frigate
Chesapeake on June 1. 1813. Both the captain
and the first lieutenant having been placed hors
cle combat early in the engagement, he assumed
the command and won the victory in that me
morable action. Born in 4791, he is now 98 years
of age. a:rl although bedridden has retained all
his m -nt.il faculties. He holds the rank of
admiral of the fleet, which is equivalent to that
of a field marshal in the army, possesses the
grand cross of the bath and a host of war
medals won in the numerous wars in which he
Las taken part. Owm< to his exceptionally
brilliant services he has. notwithstanding his
great age, been retained on tne active list of
(lag officers of the navy and draws his full sea
pav. He lives in a picturesque old country
house near Colchester with his almost equally
aged wife.
The new translucent substance intended as a
guest.tute for glass has been satisfactorily
adopted in some of the public buildings of Lon
don, and various advantages are claimed for it,
among these being such a degree of pliancy that
it may be bent backward and forward like
leather, and be subjected to very considerable
tensile straiu with impunity; it is almost as
translucent as giais, and of a pleasant amber
color, varying in shads from very light golden
to pale brown. The basis of the material is a
web of fine iron wire, with warp and weft
threads annul onp-tweifth inch apart, this being
inclosed, lwe a fly in amber, in a sneet of trans
lucent varnish, ot which tne base is linseed oil.
If, -re is on resin or gum in the v&rnisb, and,
once having become dry. it is capable of stand
ing heat aud damp without undergoing any
change, neither hardening nor becom.ng sticky.
Briefly the manufacture is accomplished by dip
ping the sheets edgewise into deep tanks of
varnish, and then allowing tne coating which
they thus receive to dry in a warm atmosphere.
It requires somewhat more than a dozen of these
dips to bring these sheets to the required degree
of thickness, and, when this has lieen accom
plished, the material is stored for several weeks
to thoroughly set.
A place where MONET is useless is Pitcairn,
an island in the South Pacific, it has an area
of less than throe miles, and was settled about
a century ago by the leaders in the historic
mutiny on board the English ship Biutity.
There were seven mutineers, and they were ac

twelve women, nativeiof the Island of Tahiti.
