OH, FOR A MANJVITH "SAND!"
Great Ilrltnln Has l're.lpltnted Anotticr
Crisis in Itegtird tu the i-cnl
Fisheries.
Washington, May 14. An ugly crisis has
been reached In tho negotiations between
the United States and Great Ilrlt.ilti look
in;; to the adoption of uniform relations
for the government of the seal llshory
this season. The Urltlsh government posi
tively refuses to re-enact tho regulations
of l.ist year, which prohibits the carry
Ins of firearms by sealing vessels through
the zone north of the twenty-fifth par
allel during the closed season. The United
States ollicl.ils look upon this as disas
trous to the seal fisheries, holding that
the result will be to tellcve the pelagic
sealers of the only resttlctlon which litis
operated to prevent an unlimited slaughter
ol the heids. While killing by llre.irms
lemnlns Illegal it is lcnllssed It will be
Impossible to enforce this prohibition If
.inns can be freely can led, for lliu sealers
would kill secretly unless they should
happen to be under the vety eye of a.
revenue cutter. Meanwhile the United
States cutters have gonu out under the
old Instructions to seize all vessels car
rying arms not under seal These must
be modified speedily by orders sent
through the Alaska Commercial Company's
steamer, which leaves Han Francisco In a
day or two, or else there may be another
big claim for damages on account of Illegal
seUures filed by the Itritlsh government.
The attitude of the latter Is viewed with
much dissatisfaction at the state depart
ment, where It Is regal ded as an evidence
ot the unwarrantable concession to the
Canadian pelagic sealers. It is also held
the effect of the Itiltlsh action Is to prac
tically nullify all measures of protection
for the seals that were conferred by the
Paris arbitration, and It would not be
surprising if this course is persisted In If
It resulted In a declaration by the United
States of tho abrogation of tho treaty.
It docs not appear that any baking pow
der, when presented In competition with
the Royal, either nt the government tests
or before world's fair Juries, has ever re
ceived favor or award over the Royal or
made an equal showing in purity, strength
or wholcsomencss.

Washington, May II. (Special.) A story Is
making the rounds that Senator Vest de
tailed the well known Joe Rickey to se.
cmo for him an Invitation to bo present
and represent Missouri nt the convention
of e-Confederats to be held at Houston
This was one of the things that forced
Rickey out of his "ticket shop" lure,
back to Missouri to round tip the boys.
Of course there aie i number of other
things In this connection, but as theio
was a great desire on the part of the sen

off with the Confederate bannei. It was
Important and Just such a. Job as. Rickey

As predicted In the Journal Monday, the
first thing the senate did when Peers' sub
stitute fellow setvant bill wns called up
this afternoon wns to strike out the pro
viso In section 1 which nlined a blow at
labor organizations. This done, the senate
proceeded to emasculate the bill 111 other
respects and adopt It as a substitute) for
the exclusively rallroid committee bill.
As Senator Peers' bill was framed when
It came up for amendment mid engross
ment this nfternoon, It contained a clause
that meant the dlstiiptlon ot railway labor
unions. It provided, not lu vvonN, but In
effect, that all employes should accept the
lnstiranru feature, and It provided that If
they did accept the Insmance they could
not collect damages by common law for
IllJllllOS,
As the bill now stands, all these objec
tionable featutes are eliminated Senator
Yeater led the light for the amendments
and Senator Kennlsli retnlered him alilo
assistance. It Is probable that the measure
In Its amended form will piss the senate.
What tile house will do Is a question
Its disposition so far has been to piss
a bill applvlng to tallroads only. It may
and It may not change Its position.
lit Icily this Is what the bill as amended
provides foi : It provides that any person
or corporation cmplovlng more than twenty-live
persons and cngiged In any hazard
ous business Is liable to a Hon for dam
ages for lnjuiles Inclined tliioiigh the neg
ligence ot a fellow servant. It provides
that employer and cniplovo may enter into
contracts providing for Insmance against
Injuries received by tmplo.ves, but Imposes
a line ot $l,ii0 upon the emplover for at
tempting to lutimldite oi nierie an cni
plovo Into making the lusui.iiiee conttnet
and this Insurance Is no liar to recovery
of damages by common liw In fact a
fellow seivant has the same lights as
oilier men. One half of the cost of the
insurance shall be boine b the emplover
Section 11 provides that this at t shall
not apply to an peimn or p. rsons using
agriculture rir other mnliliniv which Is
not propelled by steam nr eleetrleltj . An
nmenilment secured li Senator Love, or
Jarkson, provides indcmnltv under the In
suianee coutiact of "' pi r cent of the
amount of wages the employe was earning
at Urtt time of the Injury.
This, In n few words. Is nil there Is
In the hill now pending In the senate1.
No mm should have dllflc ultv In deciding
wliethir It suits him. And vet the rail
road Iot.1i) and the friends of fi How serv
ant leglslitlon both claim to be satisfied
With the situation. The debate In the
senate on the amendmi nts gn vv very
warm, nt times, and tin liemnei.its taking
pirt evidenced a disposition to wash some
dlrtv linen
Senator Yeater nttaiked the hill In Its
origin il foi in, savagely. He declar. d that
It took moie from the railroad workmen
than It give them. Thev weie asking for
hi cad and weie to get a stone, lie ridi
culed the Idei that the contract which the
railroad compmles entered Into with the
labor unions, to submit the claims of men
dlsehniged to an nrbltiatlnn bond, was a
grcat h.iidshlp. He lead from the contract
of the MNsourl Pnellle to prove his .state
ment. He said the board ot arbitration
consisted nf the master mechanic, the su
perintend! nt of the division and an en
gineer sc leeted by the discharged employe
two ollUers nf tho company and one work
man. Senator Yeatei's persistent fight for
ami ndmi nts moused the Ire of S. nator
Peers and aflet the bill had been adopted
and placed on the order of engios.sment, he
made a long nnd tierce speech. Senator
Peers, w ho is n little man, had came pre
pared for a set speech Ills chin was
cleanly shaven and his mustache waxtil.
He wore a c!oe lifting cutaway suit, it
yellow rose on the lam 1 of his coat. His

tie eiieiifled It. lie wns a model of neat
ness, itefore he had talk.d h ilf an hour
his coll ir and necktie weie off. his walst

In stippoitlng IiIh hill and half In defending
himself He ieferr.il to the fact that he

turned tall when Illodgett, Cochran and

road attorn.') behind locked doors
Senator Peers was speaking at fi:IO p. m ,
when lie vleidul for a motion to adjourn
until 10 o'clock to-mouow.
Senator Yeater Is booked to reply to

forthcoming. Senator Mott wns In St.
I.oiils ami llcpresentatlve Weltihold was
not present, but both or these conferrers
had expiesed a willingness to compromise
on the conditions named. In brief, the
committee has decided to report a substi
tute for both the houe and senate bills,
The great point of dispute wns over the
ntanner of choosing the election commis
sioners, but lids difference was compro
mised by an agreement to have the com
missioners appointed bv the governor and

salary, while the thl"! commissioner was

coming to an mulct standing. No definite
statement, however, will be submitted un
til the return of Senator Mott and Heine,

shown a disposition to reach an ngrcc
