THE GRAVITY OP TEE SITUATION
Explained in Terjr Plain Words to Great
Britain's Minister.
THE ONLI MODUS THAT CAN BE ACCEPTED
"Washington-, March 24. At the con
clusion of the executive session of the
Senate, which lasted four hours, the corre
spondence received yesterday from the
President relative to Bering Sea was made
public. It comprises two communications,
as follows:
Slf Julian Fanncefote to Mr. Wharton.
British Ixaxiiour,
TTashisotos, Marcn la. 1892. t
Bin On receipt of your noto of the 8th
Instant, I Immediately telegraphed to the
Marquis of Salisbury the substance of Its
contents. In accordance with the request
which you expressed on behalf of the Presi
dent, and I have now the honor to inform
you that I have this day received a reply
from his lordship's telegram, to the follow
ing effect:
Lord Salisbury again points out that the
Information in the possession of Her Majes
ty's Government, does not lead them to be
lieve that another year's suspension of seal
ing is necessary to prevent an undue dimi
nution of the seal herds.
His Lordship, however, proceeds to ob
serve that beyond this question it is consid
ered by jour Government that they hare a
right to be protected from the loss which
they may incur fiom free selling being per
mitted this year, in the event of their claim
to Bering Sea being unheld by the arbitra
tors, lie states that Her Majesty's Govern
ment does not dispute that after the ratifica
tion of the convention there will be some
foundation for this contention, but he adds
that the prohibition of all sealing as a rem
edy has this defect, that the British sealers
excluded from Bering Sea would have an
undoubted ground of complaint if the Brit
ish claim should be upheld by the arbitra
tors. Moreover, there is no security that
the arbitration will be concluded before the
sealing season of 1893. Thus an arbitration
between Great Britain, the United States
and Portugal, which has already occupied
our years, is stiu pending.
Sorlous damage would be caused to the in
dustry by a suspension of sealing for a long
period.
In view of all the above considerations, it
appears to Her Majesty's Government that
it would be more equitable to provide that
teallng in Bering Sea shall continue, on the
condition that the owner of every sealing
vessel shall give security for satisfying any
damaees which the arbitrators may adjudge.
I shall be glad to learn that the above sug
gestions meet with the concurrence of your
Government. I have the honor, etc,
Julias PAUircEroTE.
Mr. ITbarton to Sir Julian Panncefote.
Departjteht ob Stati, )
AVASniHOTOS, March 22, 1892.
Sib 1 am directed by the President to say
that your note dated the 19th inst. and de
livered on the 20th inst. (Sunday), has had
his immediate attention, in view of what he
deems to be the extreme urgency and grav
ity of the matter under discussion. The
urgency grows out of the fact that much
further protraction of this discussion will
make any modus that may be agreed upon
Ineffectual to protect the interests of the
United States, and will give to the Canadian
sealers practical immunity, by reason of
the impossibility of communicating to them
the agreed 'restrictions. It is known to this
Government that the sealers have hastened
their departure to escape notice of a possi
ble modus, and that every day almost adds
to the fleet that mustnow bo overhauled at
sea.
Already 47 Canadian vessels have cleared
for the sealing grounds as against SI at the
same date last year and are engaged in fol
lowing up and destroying the seal herds.
These vessels will, if not stopped and turned
back at the passes, go into the Bering Sea
and pursue to the very shores of our islands
the slaughter of the mother seals seeking the
accustomed rockeries to be delivered of
their young. This is a crime against nature.
This Government expects to show, if the
arbitration proceeds, that female seals con
stitute the larger percent of the catch of the
pelagic sealers. That in view of this serious
and confident contention of this Govern
ment, His Lordship should assume that
another year's suspension of such sealing Is
not necessary "to prevent an unaue diminu
tion of the seal herds," and should insist
that pending an arbitration it shall go on,
precisely as if noarhitratlon had been agreed
upon, is as surprising as it is disappointing.
It Her Majesty's Government so little re
spects the claims and contentions of this
Government as to be unwilling to forbear for
a single season to disregard them, the Pres
ident cannot understand why Lord Salis
bury should have proposed and agreed to
give those claims the dignity and standing
which a reference to a high court of arbitra
tion implies. From the moment an arbi
tration was agreed upon, neither party was
at liberty to disregard the contentions of the
other.
IVace and Good 'Will "Was the Purpose.
It must be assumed that the sincere pur
pose of the two Governments was to pro
mote peace and good will, but if, pending
the arbitration, either deals with the sub
ject of It solely upon the basis of Its own
contention, and in utter disregard of the
claims of the other, this friendly end is not
only not attained, but a new sense of
injury and injustice is added, even if it
should be found nossible to proceed with an
arbitration under such conditions. For it
m ust not be forgotten that if Her Majesty's
Government proceeds during this sealing
season upon the basis of its contention as to
the right of the Canadian sealers, no choice
is left to this Government but to proceed
upon the basis of its confident contention
that pelagic sealing in the Bering Sea is an
infraction of its jurisdiction and property
rights. His Lordship will hardly fail to see
this.
Herein, in the opinion or the President,
consists the gravity of the present situation,
and he is not willing to be found in any de
gree lesponsible for the results that may
lollow the insistence by either government
during this season upon the extreme Tights
ciaimeu nr it. in nis opinion it would dis
credit in the eyes of the w orld the two great
governments involved, if the paltry profits
of a single season should be allowed to
thwart, or even to disturb the honorable
and friendly adjustmentof their differences,
which is so nearly ooncleded; but ir His
Lordship shall adhere to his refusal to unite
with us in prompt and effective measures to
stop pelagic sealing, and shall Insist upon
free 3ealing for Bntish sublects,the question
as It affects this Government is no longer
one or pecuniary loss or gain, but one of
honor and self-respect.
Harrison Does Jfot Thlpk Salisbury Serious.
This Government, notwithstanding the
fact that its right to take seals upon the
Pribylof Islands is undisputed and wholly
uninvolved in the arbitration, has proposed
to take no profit from the island catch, but
to limit the taking of seals to the necessities
of the -natives of those islands, and it cannot
consent that, with indemnity or without, tho
contested rights of British subjects to catch
seals in'the Bering Sea shall be exercised
pending the arbitration. The President
finds it difficult to believe that Lord Salis
bury is seiious in proposing that this
Government shall take separate bonds
from the owners of. about 100 Cana
dian sealing vessels to indemnify It
for the injury they may severally
Inflict upon our Jurisdiction or property,
and must decline to discuss a suggestion
which only his respeot lor Lord Salisbury
and his belief that His Lordship has a due
appreciation of tho gravity of this discus
sion, enable him to treat with seriousness.
We should doubtless havo to pursue and
capture upon the sea many of the owners of
thoso vessels, to secure the bonds suggested,
And as the condition is tobethattheobllgors
shall pay "any damages which the arbitra
tors may adjudge," whllo the tieaty gives
the arbitrators no power to adjudge any
damages, tne transaction would be without
risk to the obligors and of no valne to us.
This Government cannot consent to have
w hat it believes to be its rights destroyed or
impaired pending their determination by an
agreed tribunal, however adequate the se
curity offeied. The referenoe in my last
noto to the inconsistency of Her Majesty's
Government in denying responsibility for
the acts of the Canadian sealers was not in
tended to suggest a willingness on our part;
under any circumstances, to see our prop
erty converted into a claim for damages,
and particularly as such a claim cannot now.
be heard or determined by the arbitrators
without a reformation of the treaty, for His !
Lordship must remember that, while he
now offers what he mistakingly calls "secur
ity for satisfying any damages which the
arbitrators may adjudge," he has already
carried hU nnlnt in tho treatv that the arbi
trators shall have no jurisdiction to award
any damages.
Unable to See How Citizens Are Damaged.
As to His Lordship's suggestion that Cana
dian sealers may have some olaim for com
pensation if Great Britain shall restrain
pelagic scaling, the President directs me to
say that he is notable tosee how the citizens
or subjects of either of the treaty powers can
by any rule of law or equity support
any claim against their respective Gov
ernments growing out or such necessary
trade restraints as the Governments may
lawfully impose to promote the larger con
ditions or the public good and international
peace.
The suggestion that the conclusions of the
Board of Arbitration may not be reached
and announced in time to govern the con
duct or the parties during the season or 1893
is, the President thinks, fully provided
against by the treaty itself.
His Lordship is mistaken as to the time
that has elapsed since the signing of the
Delagoa Bay agreement with Portugal. It is
not four years old, but less than one, the
date of signing being June 13, 1891.
It the present treaty is promptly ratified
and exchanged, our mutual Interest would
be an ample guaranty against delay. The
President has found no obstacle In the way
of such a consummation except the belief,
now unfortunately prevalent here, that the
refusal of Great Britain to agree to the pres
ervation of the status quo ot the property
during the arbitration, and her insistence
that pelagic sealing shall go on to the in
jury, if not destruction, of our rights, largely
defeats the object of the treaty.
Last lAr1! Modus Most be Accepted.
The President direct me to. say, in con
clusion, that the modus of last year is the
least that this Government can accept. In
reason, the restraints, after a treaty of arbi
tration, should be more absolute, not less.
He does not desire to protract this discis
sion, and having now in the most friendly
spirit submitted the considerations which
support the jnst demand of this Govern
ment that the property which is the subject
ol au agreed arbitration shall not be subject
to spoliation pending the arbitration, he ex
presses the hope that Lord Salisbury will
give a prompt and friendly assent to renew
the modus.
The President will hear with regret that
Her Majesty's Government "continues to as
sert a right to deal with this subject precise
ly as ir no provision had been made for a
settlement of the dispute; and in that event,
this Government, as has already been point
ed out, will be compelled to deal with the
subject on the same basis and to use every
means in its power to protect from destruc
tion or serious inj ury property and jurisdic
tional rights which it has long claimed and
enjoyed.
I have the honor to be, with the highest
consideration, sir, your obedient servant,
William F. Whabtok, Acting Secretary.
The President transmitted the correspond
ence without comment.
PROTECTING THE SEAL&
Men-or-TVar Depart for the Grounds Where
the Animals Sport The Field to Be
Better Covered Than Ever Before
Poachers to Be Kept Out.
Washington, March 24. While the in
structions to the commanding officers of the
naval and revenue vessels which are to be
assigned to the duty of protecting the seal
ing industry during the coming season are
not yet wholly completed, it is settled that
they will differ from last year's in a most
important particular. Last year the opera
tions or these vessels were confined to Ber
ing Sea. It is now proposed, however, to
extend them also to the waters within the
three-mile limit along the entire Alaskan
coast north of latitude 55 to TJnimokPass,
south of Bering Sea. This way the seal
herd on its way to the rookeries of Pribylov
Islands will be protected at least to a limited
extent from poachers along the entire course
usually followed by them.
Experience has demonstrated that a large
number of seals are annually killed in these
shore waters, especially in the Gulf of
Alaska near Mount St. Ellas and westward
along the peninsula as far as TJnimak" Pass,
which is used by the seals as an entrance to
Bering Sea. The coast at that point is in
dented with coves and inlets where the
waters sheltered from the northern winds
by a range of mountains are smooth and
shallow and afford an excellent playground
for the seals. Poachers are well acquainted
with this fact and are always assured of a
good catch in the vicinity. Nearly 2,500
seals were slaughtered in these waters
within the three-mile limit last year.
It is now proposed for the first to main
tain a sufficient patrol over these waters
with a view to the protection of the seal
herds on their way to Bering Sea so long as
they remain within the jurisdiction of the
United States. The revenue vessels Cor
win and Albatross have already gone to
Alaskan waters on this mission, and wiU
soon be followed by the Bush and Bear,
and possibly by several naval vessels.
MYSTERY AB0UTTHE TREATY.
Senators Befogs to Divulge What Took
Place at Their Executive Session Sus
pense Over the Sitnation That May or
May Not Be Warranted.
Washington, March 24. Special
The text of the diplomatic correspondence
given to the press this evening, which was
submitted to the Senate yesterday, confirms
the outline given last evening of the sharp
nature of the President's rejoinder to Salis
bury's last note, but the President's "bluff"
is so promptly met by the "bluff" of Salis
bury in ordering the British vessel Warspite
to Alaskan waters to protect Canadian
sealers, that the laugh, if there be any
laughing in it, is somewhat against the
President The latter's threat to use Amer
ican war vessels to protect the seals is met
by an order to a British war vessel to ad
dress itself at once to the protection of
Canadian seal poachers.
It is still thought by diplomatic Btstes-
men here that there may be some mistake
in regard to-the reported order to the com
mander of the Warspite, and that the order
may involve no more than a surveillance of
matters without fighting privileges.
The greatest mystery is in regard to the
work oi the executive session of the Senate
this afternoon. Bid the Senators refuse to
ratify the treaty of arbitration, and thus
add fuel to worfire? Did they adopt 'it
with a provision which may be accepted by
Salisbury and which may dispel all the
clouds ot war the moment it is accepted? So
far no Senator can be induced to give a hint
ot the facts, so unusually taut are the reins
of secrecy drawn. Something may leak out
later, however.
ALABMIST BTJM0ES IN ENGLAND.
British War Ships Ordered to the North
Mac Earlier Than Usual.
London, March 24. The intelligence of
the position taken by President Harrison in
regard to the Bering Sea question is made
the basis of alarmist rumors. One story is
that Bear Admiral Hotham, ol the Pacific
squadron, has received instructions to pro
tect the Canadian sealers in the event that
no arrangement can be arrived at with the
United States. Lord Salisbury, it is said,
was at first inclined not to take this step
and simply to leave the matter alone, let
ting the Canadians take their chances of
escape from the American revenue cut
ters, and of litigation in the American
Courts. To this Sir Charles Tupper, the
Canadian High Commissioner, is said to
have strenuously objected. He gave Lord
Salisbury to understand that Canada did not
ask for, but demanded the protection of
England, and that nothing less than com
plete protection would be satisfactory to
her people. Should the sealing question
result in war, the Canadian would be pre
pared to do their part and prove their loyalty
on land; bnt they must look to England for
defense at sea. Sir Charles is said Jo have
urged that England could afford a quarrel
on this question with the United States, as
it was a question regarding which the whole
world would be on the English side as
against the claimant to a monopoly of ani
mals roaming the hieh seas.
A dispatch from Victoria, B. C, says it is
reported there that Bear Admiral C..F.
Holham, 0. TX, Commander in Chief on the
British Pacific station, has sent a cable dis
patch to Esquimau that the warships Mel
Jiomene, ' Champion and "Warspite have
tatted for Esquimau, and that they will
reaoh there May 1, two months earlier than
the time previously arranged for their ar
rival. EHGLISH FBESS OPINIONS.
Much Farce Admitted In Some of Mr.
Wharton's Objections.
LONDON, March 25. The Daily Newt says:
"There is much force in Mr. Wharton's ob
jection that damages are unrecoverable from
individuals. Cannot Lord Salisbury pledge
our credit for any fine imposed? If America
objects she might be invited to put It an
other way, by pledging herself to pay for
the luxury of prohibition against British
sealers if the arbitration goes against her."
The Ztma says: '"The possibility of
further complications with America over
the Bering Sea question is causing uneasi
ness among members of the House of Com
mons who have no knowledge of affairs.
Private information has been received to
the effect that American sealers at present
are in an uncompromising frame of mind,
and are determined to accept none of the
alternatives which Lord Salisbury offers."
MAYOR QOURLEY'S PLANS.
He IsNoif Arranging a Programme to Be
Observed After Retiring From Office
He Will Merer Again Be a Candidate for
Public Office.
Mayor Gourley hag resigned his position
as general manager of certain school book
Interests in this city, and will be entirely
free from that responsibility after April L
The Mayor has held this position for 15
years and has built up a business for the
firm he represented exceeding any text book
business in this part of the State and at the
same time extending it to other sections.
Through his personal efforts and influences
he has had this firm's books adopted, and
they have for years been the standard in the
public schools of the two cities and in many
schools outside.
Comparatively few knew that he was act
ing as an agent, the general belief being
that he was himself the publisher, owing to
the fact that he is the author of a num
ber of books, including a series of
school readers, which bear his name. The
Mayor also assisted the late Chancellor Goff,
of the Western University, in the prepara
tion of the series of arithmetics.
During the last year of his inoumbency as
Mayor, His Honor intends to take life as
easily as possible. He says he has never
had a day's real rest from work or business
care since he was a school boy, and he feels
now, after a lifetime of labor, there should
be a rest and he wants all there is in it.
Much of his thought during the present year
will be spent in planning a future course.
He has persistently stated that he will never
again be a candidate nor an officeholder,
but he has not decided not to re-enter the
business world. He has several steps in
contemplation. One is an extended trip to
foreign countries for a year or two. He
owns a beautiful 70-acre farm in Pine town
ship, a short distanoe beyond Wildwood on
the Pittsburg and Western Bail road, and
although it is far away now, the change
being made to shorten that line will bring
it within a few minutes' walk of the farm.
KOBDEE TEIAL AND MINSTBELSY
Mingled In a Singular Way During a Per
formance in Georgia.
Atlanta, March 24. Special. A sin
gular scene took. place during a performance
of a theatrical troupe in Talbotton, last
night, the like of which was probably never
seen in this land'of queer doings. Duringthe
performance of Frank's Minstrel Troupe,
at the Opera House, the Judge of the Supe
rior Court, the jury and the lawyers in the
Early murder case were seen to file into the
Opera House and take their seats just under
the footlights. The "bones" and "tambou
rine" were interrupted in the midst of their
chestnuts, and a drama of real life was en
acted on the stage.
The Opera House Bad been used for a
court room during the day, and the jury en
tered the Opera House during the perform
ance to be instructed on some points on
wmen iney couiont agree, judge Martin
took his seat on the stage in the midst of
the burnt-cork artists, and then charged the
jury, after which they filed back into the
jury room. The Court and the lawyers re
mained in the house, but the , performance
was immediately resumed. The defendant,
on whose life the jury was to pass, was kept
in the court room to await the verdict, and
apparently enjoyed the show as did the
Court and counsel. ,
THE PATBONS OF INDUSTRY
Spend a Quiet Day and Elect Their Offi
cers for the Ensuing Tear.
Toledo, O., March 24. Very little was
done by the National Council of the
Patrons of Industry at to-day's session. There
was a long discussion over proposed changes
in the by-laws of the order, which wenfover
until to-morrow without action. The even
ing session of the Supreme Council Patrons
of Industry lasted until midnight. The
election of officers for the ensuing year re
sulted as follows:
Supreme President TX H. Lake, Michi
gan; Supreme Vice President, S. S. Jones,
Wisconsin; Supreme Secretary, M. H.
Smith, Michigan; Supreme Treasurer, M.
E. Hogmire, Michigan; Supreme Sentinel,
E. A Metzger, Indiana; Trustees, Philip
S. Dorland, New York; B. P. Kerrick,
Pennsylvania. Amendments to the consti
tution were also adopted, which enlarge
and define the power of the State assem
blies over the subordinate lodges.
THAT BAB0NMS DE 8TETJBS DIV0BCE
The New Husband of the r.ady Speaks Sar
castically of the Baron's Threats.
Chicago, March 24. Begarding the re
port that Baron de Steurs holds that the
divorce recently obtained by his wife in
South "Dakota will not be valid in the
Netherlands, Elliott Seberowaski, the hus
band of the former Baroness, to-day said:
Tho so-called Baron knows better than to
waste his fortune in auy effort to prove a
native-born American to be a Dutch woman,
or that a bona fide American decree of
divorce is not good and valid the whole
world over when defended. My advice to
the so-called Baron's seemingly many
friends is to stand off and not bring tbe
"Baron" so frequently beiore the Amerioan
people through the medium of our great
press. We are not familiar with tbe so
called Baron's diplomatic tactics, and some
one might misjudge him, and then.
BIGGEST KITE IN THE WORLD.
It Weighed SOS Ponnds and Would Lift 500
Pounds Off the Ground.
The biggest kite in the world was
madfe
In Durham, Greene county, N. Y., about a
year ago. It may be taken as the biggest
kite ever made. The frame consisted of two
main sticks 28 feet long, weighing each 100
pounds, and two cross sticks 21 feet
long and weighing 75 ponnds each; all ot
these sticks were 2x6 inches in dimensions.
Over this frame work wan stretched a
great sheet of white duck 25x18 feet, and
weighing 65 pounds. They tail of the kite
alone weighed 50 pounds, and contained 155
yards of muslin. Twenty-five hundred feet
of half-inch rope served as "kite strings."
This plaything cost 75, and when it
mounted into the atr it exerted a lifting
power of 00 ponnds. Six men once per
mitted it to ascend 1,000 feet.
CLEVELAND TO SPEAK
For His Party In the Present fied-Hot
Campaign in Rhode Island.
OTHER BIG GUNS ARE EXPECTED.
A Fierce Fight for the Control of the little
Bit of a State.
DISTRICT DEMOCRATS UNINSTETJCTED
fSFICIALTILIOaAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Pbovidknce, B. 1, March 24. Mr.
Cleveland has at last moved to try a stump
ing tour. He has selected Bhode Island as
the scene of his opening skirmish for the
Presidency of 1892. He has promised the
Democratic State Committee that he will
take a hand in the political rumpus which
is just now stirring the State from center to
circumference.
The Democrats think that something big
will drop if Mr. Cleveland takes part in the
fray, and great preparations are being made
for his coming in the near future. The
date has not yet been decided upon, but it
is certain that he will speak in this city.
Saturday night a great mass meeting of
Democracy is to be held in Music Hall. A
telegram was received yesterday from
Congressman Bynum, of Indiana, one of
the party leaders in the National House,
announcing that he will be present
at that time. With the telegram from Con
gressman Bynum came another from Con
gressman Bryant, the young Nebraska tariff
reformer, announcing that he would come
to Bhode Island and deliver an address upon
any night that the Democratic State Com
mittee might select.
The Republicans, on their side, are fight
ing vigorously, and will make every effort
possible to carry Providence, in spite of the
story to the contrary started by the Demo
crats. Senator Aldrich arrived home from
Washington yesterday, and will remain
during the campaign. McKinler, Beed
and Tracey are coming here, But the exact
dates have not yet been fixed.
The Bepublicans of the Legislature have
magnanimously decided to help the Demo
crats of Lincoln out of the muddle they got
into in attempting to file with the Secre
tary of State their legislative nomination
papers. The papers should have been filed
before midnight on the 22d instant, but
they held the papers back, and illegally
substituted one man's name for an
other, to catch the French-Canadian
vote and beat the Bepublicans.
The papers were filed just as the clock
struck the midnight hour, but they were
unsigned and void. The Democrats be
sieged the State House all day yesterday,
and begged for the passage of an enabling
act The Bepublicans, through Representa
tive Wilson, of East Providence, to-day
offered suoh a bill, which was referred to
the Committee on the Judiciary, who will
investigate the charges of fraudulent chang
ing of names in the official paper.
ENTHUSIASTIC FOB CLEVELAND.
North Dakota Will Send a Fnll Delegation
to the Chicago Convention.
Gband Forks, N. D., March 24.
Special North Dakota will send an en
thusiastic Cleveland delegation to Chicago,
headed by William Boach, of Grand Forks,
twice the Gubernatorial candidate of the
party for Governor. The other delegates
are J. H. O'Brien, W. E. Purcell, Andrew
Blewitt and J. E. Campbell Every dele
gate is a strong Cleveland man. A resolu
tion to instruct for Cleveland was amended
as follows:
Resolved, That we do not deem it advis
able to give our delegation to the Chicago
Convention positive instructions: neverthe
less, it is the. nrm oonviotlon that ex-President
Grover Cleveland is pre-eminently the
best representative of Democratic princi
ples; but should they be convinced that his
candldacv would not be the strongest possi
ble, then it is the judgment of this conven
tion that they should use all honorable
means to seenre the nomination of a West
ern man for President of the United States.
A PB0F0SITI0N REJECTED.
Jndge Johnston Will Stay on tbe Track
Long as Possible.
Toungstown, O., March 24, Special
The Congressional contest between Judge
King and Judge Johnston to secure the
coveted nomination in this district has
reached a point where war has been de
clared, and it is now a fight to the finish.
Judge King presented a proposition to his
opponent that whoever secure a majority of
the delegates of Mahoning countv the other
should withdraw in order that the county
might present a solid delegation for one
candidate.
Judge Johnston replied to day, refusing
to make such an agreement, and said that
he was In the fight until the convention
named the candidate.
IN NO HUBBY FOB BBICE.
The National Chairman Not Needed
at
Chicago Until the Convention.
Chicago, March 21 Secretary Sheerin,
of the Democratic National Committee,
left for Indianapolis, his home, this
afternoon, convinced that the arrange
ments for erecting the Democratic National
Convention wigwam in due time are
complete. To a reporter he said:
"There will be no necessity for Chairman
Brice's presence here. The National Com
mittee is to hold a meeting to-day before
the convention. Until then I do not be
lieve Mr. Brice will come."
Nebraska's Campaign Opened.
Lincoln, Neb., March 24. The Bepub
lican campaign in Nebraska had its virtual
opening here to-night at a mass meeting
held In the Opera House. John M. Thurs
ton, of Omaha, was the speaker of the even
ing. He covered the leading questions now
attracting public attention.
District Democrats Unlnstrncted.

An Indiana Man Is Saved by a Dis
covery. A remarkable case has occurred in our
territory. J, N. Berry, a man about thirty
years ol age, was going down rapidly. He
tried physician after physician, patent medi
cines, home receipts in fact, everything.
He went to a noted sanitarium and returned
no better. We all thought he was dying
with consumption, and that only a few
weeks of life were left for him.
He commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, and at the same time
commenced to mend. He has used about
two dozen bottles, and is still using it He
has gained in weight, color and strength,
and Is able to do light work. It is just
such a case as we should have listened to
rather suspiciously, but when we see it, we
must believe it
It has trebled our sales of " Golden Med
ical Discovery." John Hackett & Son,

their wonderful beauty of color
ing and artistic designing. They

for lasting wear and large re
turns for the original outlay.
Our extraordinary prepara
tions in Wiltons have produced
a line of patterns easily surpass
ing all others.
MOQUETTES
AND
VELVETS.
Our entire line of new pat
terns of best Moquettes are
now $1.25. Many patterns of
the best quality are only $i.
BODY BRUSSELS.
The old substantial, always
to be relied upon Body Brus
sels, gives the greatest amount
of enduring wear for the price.
The new patterns show a radi
cal departure in design and
coloring from all former show
ings. The lowest market prices
for them always.
Is emphatically the "people's
carpet" giving a maximum of
rich and elegant effect at a
small cost The best new pat
terns of the highest grades are
exact reproductions of the best
Body Brussels designs.
Our new patterns in best
brands of two and three-ply
Ingrains also follow closely in
Body Brussels effects. We
have a full line of Westmin
sters, a new make of extra
heavy quality, equal in weight
but superior in wearing quality
to three-plies.

ways been our pride atid the
