Sealskin Sacques in the Rough.


From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Alaska Commercial company's
steam schooner Dora discharged her car
60 of fur sealskins at the Beale street
wharf yesterday. the result being that
there was more seal fur IN sight at the
twater front yesterday than is to be me
with on any day of the year on Kearney
street. The water front sealskin, how
ever, does not exert that peculiar at
traction which its kearney street varle-
ty possess. In fact, people with sensi-
tive olfactory nerves are apt to give it
wide berth, for the said skins, unlike
those of Kearney street are not per-
fumed with musk, cologne or altar of
roses, but with isperm oil. Each
skin is rolled up into as small
package as possible, after being stripped
off the animal and salted, strong cords
keeping the package in shape: A gang
of stevedores was yesterday playing ball
with these packages, which were count
ed as they left the hold of the schooner
and placed upon the wharf. Here men
were busy placing the skins into new
barrels holding about fifty each. They
are again freely salted and rammed down
with an instrument similar to that used
by street PAYERS. The barrels were then
headed up and weished. In this shape
they will be shipped to England, from
whence they will return bereft of their
smell, dyed to dark brown, and soft
and furry enough to capture any Wo-
mans fancy and money.

FIRES IND OTHER CASUALTIES,

The Indians have fired the prairie on the
Sand Conlee and Freeman creek region of
northern Montana, and the whole country
is ablaze. 1t is great stock region and the
cattle are being driven before the confagra-
ton in immense herds. The winter range
for a scope of many miles is in danger of be-
ing destroyed which will be s-vere blow
at the stock interests of northern Montana
The Piegpans are supposed to have set the
fires, as 1,500 of them are away from their
agency. They refuse to return unless the
government will increase their rations.
The Huron, D. T., Leader says the prairie
fires are raging in that vicinity, doing con-
siderable damage. A Huronian saw one
fire half mile long sweep down from the
north to the track, as the train went by
The fire was so hot that the passengers had
to close the windows cf the cars as the train
swept through it. Shanties and stacks could
be seen on fire, but there were only few of
them. The people turned out and protected
themselves against destruction. Another
heavy fire was raging fourteen miles west of
Huron, near Siding.
The reports of the mine inspectors of the

DcLeSsepps on the Egyptian War

DcLeSSeppS on the Egyptian War.
A cable dispatch from Paris to the Herald
says: DeLessepps, who just arrived here
in an interview on Egyptian affairs, said
that the first fact that should be known re-
garding the Egyptian matter is that the
movement is a national one. He was con-
vinced that Arab has the nation at his
back. His force at present is between 25,-
600 and 10000 Arabs. He has arms for
100000 and when he needs men can get
them. The English sailors had behaved
very bad, firing right and left in the streets,
and killing many Arab women and
children, and one of DeLessepps
own employees. The English
army was very well organized. He
thinks the war will be long one, and its final
result cannot yet be forecast. No serious
operations could be undertaken until hot
weather and the overflow of the Nile was at
an end in October. 1t is not true that Arab
had mutilated the English dead and wound
ed. He had heard "f that from officers in
Egypt. En~land had been long intending
to get her finger into Egypt, on one pretext
or another. The Whole trouble had been
caused by the intrigues of Malet, and for the
purpose of giving England this opportunity

Major Luce, Indian agent at White Earth,

ACCORDING to recently published
work on the subject, more Christians
than Jews commit suicide, more Pro-
testants than Catholics; more Ger
mans and Scandinavians than any
other race; far more men than wo-
men, though men are supposed to
make life burden to women; more
single than married men; more
married women than single women
more widows and widowers than
either; more, many more in the hot
months than in the cold, more tall
persons than short ones; more in
countries where murder does not
prevail than where it does; more
negroes than whites; more in the
first two days of the month than any
other; more by hanging than by
drowning and shooting, and more at
the present day than in former days.
Suicides are more regular than
births, deaths and marriages and it
has also been established that it is

ened countries, SO far as 10 compel

In-speaking Of the work of the present Con-
gress Senator Frye said: 'There are three
measures already passed or assured on which
alone the Republican party can go to the coun-
try this fall and fairly claim the election of
Republican House of Representatives The
resolution for the appointment of commission
to investigate the alcoholic liquor traffic has
been waiting before Congress for the last ten
years, during six of which the Democrats had
control of the House. 1t has been passed by
the Senate over the opposition Of the Demo-
cratic Senators, and will undoubtedly be passed
by the House. The Republican party can
fairly claim that it has done for the temper
ance sentiment of the country what the Demo-
cratic party was not willing to do either now
or when it had control of Congress. The ques-
tion of polygamy has been before Congress for
many years. The Democratic party has never
been willing, either as a majority or minority
in Congress- to take any effectual action to sup
press that evil This Congress has passed and
passed promptly the most stringent and effec
tive law that has ever been adopted on that
subject. The Democratic party was never able
or willing, in the six years it controlled the
Honre, TO revise the tariff and remove its
inequalities. This Congress will undoubtedly
pass the commission bill, which means o
revision Of the tariff. That is record
enough for one session Of one Congress"
