Lord Salisbury WilllnR: to Arrange for Closed Seal Season. WASHINGTON, May answer of Lord Salisbury to Secretary Elaine's proposal for a closed season in Behring sea has been received. The reply intimates a willingness to accept the proposal for a closed season, but suggests certain conditions which, our government is yet willing to accept. What these conditions are will be made known at the first meeting of the cabinet after the president's return. While they may be regarded as embarrassing they probably will not stand in the way of a final agreement.

LONDON. JJay Times, in an editorial on the Bearing se-a correspondence, says: "Secretary Maine's important concessions make possible arbitration. The award was given long before the Hay-ward case was decided, therefore it is scarcely necessary to discuss his last arguments. In the meantime the question of the close time for'seals is most pressing-, and Mr. Blaine's delay causes daily increased Why Big Men Ilnve Uttle Wives.

There is a very general and ancient impression that big men, in choosing wives, prefer small women. At first glance this would appear to be true, because the number of big men with little wives is certainly in an overwhelming majority as we see them. In the five years I have held my office I have learned a thing or two through the medium of the marriage license, office, and it is my impression that it is not that big men prefer little w-omen, but that little womerj prefer big men, and it is the experience of the world-wise that whal a woman wants she generally captures.

The dark tenement abode at 413 Canal street, next door to the old Canal school building was the scene of a dreadful double tragedy yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. Martin Griner crazed by a long- course of debauchery sent a bullet crashing through the brain of his mistress, Mrs. Anna Keister and finishes his fearful deed by placing the muzzle of the revolver in his mouth and pulling the trigger.

The force of the leaden missile was such that it crashed through the top of his head and through the ceiling. Notwithstanding- his fearful woundgGriner is still living and may live several days. At 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon the residents of that locality were startled by the dire sound of two pistol shots issuing from the second story of the old tenement and were so filled with fear that instead of immediately investigating the matter they dispatched for the police. Officers Owston, Murphy and Kieckner soon arrived at the house and on entering the upstairs rooms a fearful scene met their gaze. In a little room at the head of the dark stairway, her head resting on a' pile of old bed clothes, her hands folded peacefully on her breast and her form stretched its Ml length, a ghastly' hole in the right temple, from which had flow a great pool of blood, lay Anna Keister, stone dead, the ragged wound telling the story of her death.

In anoth'er room, a small room, a mere alcove just large enough to contain a bed, a sight none the less ghastly met the gaze of the officers. On the edge of the bed, bleeding from the mouth and from a bullet hole in the top of his head, sat Martin Griner, gasping and struggling- and choking- with the clot of blood which filled his mouth, a horrible sight. On the floor of a middle and larger room lay a 38-calibre English "Bull Dog" revolver and near by another pool of blood, while a bullet hole through the ceiling all told of Griner's attempt at self destruction. Coroner Ballard was notified and on his arrival directed the removal of the body of the Keister woman to Woll Parkers undertaking establishment. He also gave what aid was sal of all of, 'Mr.

The body of Mrs. Keister was removed to the undertaking establishment of Woll Parker where it was viewed by hundreds of persoos last evening. When the blood was washed away, a face still traces of a former beauty was disclosed. The right side of the face, the side in which the bullet entered was blackened by the powder indicating that the revolver had been held close to her headl Martin Griner was removed to his residence No. 2 Canal street and physicians did all that lay in their power to do for him.

While unable to speak, the man, at times, appears conscious of those about him, and a time or two indicated thai, he understood what was going on. The bullet entered the roof of his mouth, ranged to the left, passing through the left lobe of the cerebrum and came out at the top of his head. As it is a. physiological fact that a person may live with a hole in the cerebrum, the doctors say that Griner's condition while exceedingly critical is not necessarily fatal and that he may pull through on the last chance. The immediate cause of the tragedy may never 'be known, as there was- no eye witness'td the dreadful scene.

It is sure however, that Martin' Griner has been half crazed by protracted dissipation for some weeks and that he has threatened to destroy himself on several occasions. Several months ago he deserted his family and took up'with the Keister woman, renting the tenement on'Canal street and furnishing the same for her. Lately, however, he must have sought to throw her over, as he has been attempt- ing to get the furniture away from her. On Thursday while wrangling with her ovei' the furniture Grioer naised such a row that the neighbors interfered and Officer Manders was 'called in to quiet the pair. On Friday night as stated in.

the Journal yesterday morning, Griner took a dose of chloroform, from the effects of which he was saved only by the heroic exertions of his physicians. He took the drug in the house of his mistress, and, as she declared yesterday, also endeavored to persuade her to-take some of the deadly stun" with him. It is clear thai he took the stuff with suicidal intent, and it is probable that on brooding over the matter yesterday he determined to prepare himself and do the job up to a finish. How long he had been with the Woman in the afternoon is not known, nor whether they had a violent quarrel preceeding the tragedy. Neighbors heard no indications of a row or a struggle and it is likely that Griner went about his horrible business quietly and premeditatedly.

From theQ trail of blood through the rooms it looks as though he shot Mrs. Keister, then dragged her into the small room and laid her out on the floor is above described. His pipe, charged with tobacco was lying- near her body. Was he cooly smoking while engaged in bis ghastly work? He then must have entered the middle room, placed the revolver in his mouth, fired the shot, then staggered to the bed on which he was found. Martin Griner is na old and well- known citizen, having been a barber here for many years.

He was at one time possessed of considerable property, but was one of the unfortunates caught as bondsmen of Oscar Goodwin. This transaction took a large slice of his property, since which time he has been on the downward track. From being 1 a respected citizen his debauchery cast him down to a position little above that of a street "bum. He has been the city scavenger for the past year. He is 54 years of age and has an estimable wife and two sons, Will, a popular barber at Kraut's shop and George.

He has a brother John Griner of Winamac, who was telegraphed for last night. Martin Griner is a member of the Knights of Honor and is being taken care of by that body. Mrs. Keister, his victim, was about 45 years of age, and was once a respectable woman, the wife of Dr. of Jefferson township, now living at Norway, White county, and had five children, who are scattered, some living in White county, and some in this She was also the step mother of Mrs.

Morris Cohee of this city. Dr. Welty was divorced from her ten of fifteen years ago, after which she married John Keister of Jefferson township, who died some years ago. She has lived in this city for the past four or five years. Her remains are lying at Woll Parker's, where Coroner Ballard will conduct an autopsy this morning.

No one called last night to claim the remains or to make arrangments for their disposal. The dreadful tragedy was the all absorbing topic of conversation last evening and the remains of the murdered woman were viewed by hundreds of morbidly curious people, among whom were many women and children.

1VHY ITS DOOP.S WEJiE CLOSED. PHILADELPHIA, May Spring Garden national bank which closed its doors Friday has been taken charge of by Bank Examiner Drew. The failure of the bank was due to its connection with the Keystone national bank, which closed its doors about two months ago. The Spring Garden attempted to carry some of the Keystone's paper, hut other demands upon its resources forced it to the wall. The principal depositors were small tradesmen acd laboring people.

It is impossible to obtain any information as to the condition of the bank's affairs, although it is currently reported that the assets will pretty nearly equal its liabilities. The bank had a capital stock of $750,000 and a surplus of 8137,000. The bank is a large depository for the city's money. According to the statement of City Treasurer Bardsley he had on deposit in the institution. According to the statement of the bank made to the clearing house on Monday last its assets exceeded its liabilities by SI, 875,000.

Among the items credited to its resources was 32,427,000 worth of loans and discounts. That these loans and discounts are not of a gilt-edge character is practically admitted by President Kennedy in a written statement to the reporters in which he cited some of the reasons for the closing of the bank. The Penn Trust Company, an adjunct of the bank, also made an assignment. The bank failure is not a heavy one but will be far-reaching in its character owing to the '-fact that so many small traders kept accounts there. The primary cause of the failure of the bank lay in the fact that so many depositors drew out their money to join the Earnest Workers and other short term societies.

This at least 8100,000 OUT of the bank that it had for use at all times. President Kennedy was interested in the glass jar trade at East Liverpool, 0. It is believed there will be some crashes in that line. There are of reckless speculation, but no large institution will be hurt by the collapse.
