Commercial Company to satisfy Its
Greed for Wealth and Power.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Secretary Villas
to-day sent to Congress n report from the
Governor OF Alaska, giving the result OF
his inquiries into the operations Of the
Alaska Seal and Fur Company ALASKA
Commercial Company Governor Swine
ford shows that the fur trade Is practical
ly monopolized by the Alaska Com
mercial Company, which corpora
ton, he says, has not confined
its operations To the seal islands leased
to it by the Government, but has gath
cred TO itself about all there is Ot value In
the fur trade os the whole country. He
describes how the natives. on pain Of
starvation, are kept at the mercy ot the
company, how the paid agents and
lobbyists OF the corporation are kept
at the National capital 10 oppose
any and every effort which may be
made to promote the welfare of
Alaska, and says there have been fla
grant violations of the law and executive
orders in regard to the importation and
sale of brecch-loading firearms. The
Government, Governor Swineford adds,
Is responsible Tor the wrongs which are
being suffered by innocent native people
OF the Aleutian islands, and the whole OF
Northwestern Alaska, and If it can moi
legally be rescinde.i, the lease to and the
contract with the company ought not to
be renewed. In the opinion of the Govern
or il would be better that every fur seal
should be exferminated than that such a
blighting monopoly should be perpetu-
ated.
Secretary Fairchild has informed the
House that the lease of the right to take
fur seals in Alaska for the term of twenty
years from May /, 1870, was made on
August IL, 1870, to the Alaska Commercial
Company. a corpor alton under the State
of California and that the records, as far
as he is advised, do not show any viola.
ton OF the terms and conditions OF ths
lease.

THE TARIFF DISCUSSION.
The Genersi Basiness of the Present s~.-
sion of Congress Pushed Aside BY the
Long Discussion of the Tarig BIu - A
flood Of Work Pending.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The Star last
evening, speaking of business in the
House Of Representatives, SAYS: The
Speaker and other members of the COM
mittee on rules had an informal talk this
morning concerning the disposal Of other
business OF the House that is being pushed
aside by the long tariff discussion. IL was
concluded that nothing could be-done In
the way OF setting aside davs for special
orders until IL was known Just when the
general discussion OF the tariff should
end. n the debate goes on without inter-
rupsion they know just when the seven
teen days will expire, but the time may be
broken in upon. II was the general idea
that the Legislative Appropriation bill
would be called mp at some time pending
the tariff discussion. M. Tsndaii. how
ever, taas failed to make any move 50 as
to interrupt the debate, and it is UNDER
stood that he has made up his mind not te
do so OF his own volition- Just at present
he Is confined to HIS room with an attacs
OF sickness, but IL he were present il il
not his purpose to interrupt the tariff de-
bate by calling up any measure.
On the last committee-suspen-icu day
this motion failed. the bill not getting the
necessary two-thirfs vote. Since then
the friends OF the bill have been working
for votes, and Mr.. Blanchard thinks he
will be able 10 secure the two thirds vote
on Monday. His purpose Is to make the
attempt at that time. The committee on
rules, as soon as they see their way clear
ont OF the tariff, will probably ix another
day for the committee on territories and
the committee on commerce and the Pa
cific railroads to compensate them for the
assignments they lost by the Direct Tax
deadlock. The territories will call
mp the Oklahoma bill II they
get their day. The Pacific Railroads
Funding bill and several bridge bills
will be called mp by the Pacific railroads
and the commerce committees IL is pro-
posed also To make favorable report to
the House upon the proposition sent "a

OF the House and three Of the Senate "a
