A closer examination Of the act relative 10
the killing of seals In Behring Sea reveals
that 1t is not quite so explicit as appears at
first glance. The language of the amend
ment passed by the last Congress Is that the
original act shall apply to all the 'domluion
OF the United States in ths waters Of Beh-
ring Sea-" And the Presidents proclama-
tion uses substantially tho same language.
1t will be observed that the act does not
undertake to define the extent of the domin-
Ion OF the United States In the Sea. 1t ap-
pears, too, that the act was pur-
posely left indefinite on this point
by Congress, or to be exactly accurate.
that the act was passed by Congress
with the full knowledge that this indefinite
ness existed. The House proposed law in
which the language used was "All the
waters OF Behrng Sea in Alaska, embraced
within the boundary lines mentioned and
described 10 the treaty with Russia, dated
March 30. 1861, by which the territory OF
Alaska was coded to the United States" As
Russia coded TO us all the dominion she
Claimed, and as she claimed dominion over
the whole of Behring Sea this act practically
asserted jurisdiction over the whole
Sea. The Senate, however, would
not consent TO this language,
but insisted On the language Of the bill
which originated in that body. The upshot
was that the House finally adopted the Sem
ate's bill which became law and which
does not define the extent Of the jurisdiction
of the United States. So far President Har-
rlson's administration has not undertaken to
publicly define this dominion any more def
nitely than the act OF Congress defines 1t.
The Instructions given to the commanders OF
the revenue cutters.probably show, however,
the ADMINISTRATORS view of the intent of
Congress, but they have not been made pub
lie. The matter does not seem to have taken
a political turn in either House of Congress.

The RAILROADS,

Manipulation in Rates Which Cannot be
Satisfactorily Explained.
CHICAGO, February 16.-The freight meet
ing of the Central Traffic association, un-
covered a number of instances of manipu-
lation in rates which have NOT, and it i,
claimed, cannot be explained satisfactorily
1t was charged and denied that freight not
sold at the point to which it was consigned
rates; that through consignment5 were
stopped or the destination changed: that
freight consigned via Chicago to Cincinnati,
had been re-consigned at Chicago
direct to the seaboard and other
points and that west of Chicago
proportion of the Cincinnati rate plus the
full Chicago tariff rate eastwardiy had thus
hundred. This point was absolutely proven
ON one road.
The final point mads was that the grain
consigned to Cincinnati had been taken east
of Cincinnati by virio 10 lines within an
outside the association by charging only 20
per cent of the Chicago tariff rate as the rate
eas. of Cincinnati: making 1715 csnts Of
New York while the rate il II cents. By
these manipu'a.ioos no. only ha, Chicago
been disc imin ited against, but the redu )
ton in the through tariff has been rs IN lch
"a cents a hundred.
Owing to these manipulations several
lines wes. of Chicago have Withdrawn Mis-
souri river through rates to Cincinnati via
Chicago. The Chicago freight bureau has
also entered formal protest on account of
the manipulations. The above points were
brought more strongly to the attention of
the meeting through a circular signed by
Chairmsn Fink, Blanchard, Mid zlsy aud
Fa!thorn. The chairmen reiterated the
charges and wanted instruction as to the
application of that part of the freight agree
ment which reads:
''Ths object of the agreement is the pre-
servation of the through rates thus e,tab-
lished, without evasion. manipulation, or
resort to other devices"

The Mormons Bea en-.

OGDEN, UTAH, February 13.-rhe Gen!il
were successful in the municipal elec,Iou
which was held here. It is their first victo-
ry over the Mornons in the history of this
city or territory. The city Is wild wl,h
excitement Tee new city hall was
crowded a. all OF its entrances where the
election proceeded at four different ballo.
boxes. The city voted a. q whole and not
by wards. At daylight bands and drum
corps we're promenading the streets. With
the beginning of the voting system of in
timidation commenced on ths part of the
Mormons, who arrested Gentilss before they
had chance to vote and hurried them off
to jail. This was anticipated by the oppo-
site party, who had Marshal Dyer present
and a squad of troops quartered in Browns
hotel across the street, and at oncs stopped
arrests until the voter had a chance to ten
der his vote and be passed upon by the
judges. After this. the election passed Off
quietly. The result was a COZ plete victo-y
tor the liberal or Gentle party. Fred Kie-
sci. candidate for mayor, was elected by a
majority of 40. The balance of the ticket,
including the full city council and chief of
police, have about the sans majority. The
Gentiles are iubilant over the result.

CARRIAGES AND HAHxm.
SomsthiDg About the Elkhart Oar1lng
and Harness Manufacturing

and Harness Manufacturing
Company.
This Company was organized and COM
menced business in 1874, and during the If
teen years of its operation il has extended
its business and established an enviable rep
utation throughout the country. The So
perior quality of the goods which 1t manu-
factnres, ss we'll as its business methods,
are two of the causes Of its extended patron
age and great success. The carriages, bug
gies and other vehicles, manufactured and
sold by this Company, are made from the
very hest material and BY the best mechan-
les. The hard woods of Northern Indiana
are celebrated as the best in the world for
buegies. carriages and wagons, and these.
after being perfectly seasoned, are used in
nll vehicles made and sold BY this company.
The iron, steel, leather, cloth. and other
material used is the very best. and all put to-
gether in the best, strongest and most dura-
BILE style. Now, as to their manner Of do
ing business Their system dispenses with
the profits of middlemen. for they deal di-
rectly with the consumer. All goods or
dered are boxed and delivered free ON
board the cars at Elkhart, Ind. They have
but one price for an article, and that -
low as such goods can be sold, and much
lower than in cases where the middle man
must have profit. An illustrated and de-
rr-iptive catalogue may be obtained by ad-

Chimpanzees and GOrillas.

More human like than the chimpan-
zee, although not so intelligent, is the
gorilla, of which we know SO little.
Paul du Chaillu has made us ac-
quainted with the habits of the monster
in its wild state, but all efforts to civil
ize it have failed. Our climate differs
so greatly from the gorilla's country
that it rarely survives sea voyage.
When it does, it dies in short time Of
consumption, since, strange to say, al
though possessed of enormous strength,
the gorilla is very sensitive to climatic
changes.
There never was live gorilla in this
country, and only one in Great Britain,
and that only lived sixteen days.
No wonder the poor thing died. 1t
arrived in London at 10 o'clock of q
bitter cold and damp night, and the
cage stood on the railway platform for
an hour. Then the visitors at the Crys-
tai Palace kept punching up Gena-
that was the gorilla's name-with canes
and umbrellas, and finally Gena was
taken to cold room to be photographed.
That did the business for her, and she
died of congestion of the lungs.
There are marked points of difference
between the chimpanzee and gorilla.
The ears of a chimpanzee are large,
pink, and stand out widely from the
head, but those of the gorilla are very
small, black, and pressed against the
sides of the head, like those of man.
The hands of the gorilla are unlike
those of any other known monkey. The
fingers, instead of being free as far as
the palm of the hand, are united up tS
the first knuckle-joint so that they can
not be spread. The nails, instead of
being long, convex, and claw-like, as
are those of the chimpanzee, are COM
paratively short and fiat, not reaching
to the ends of the fingers, and much re-
sembling those of man.
Contrary to former belief, it is now
claimed that the gorilla cannot walk OF
even stand on his hind feet, as the
weight of the body is borne entirely by
the outside edges of the little toes.
When adult, the gorilla occasionally
runs for few yards upon its hind feet,
but is obliged to balance itself by hold
ing the hands over the head.
That it should fight in the erect posi-
ton, rs stated by Du Chaillu, is physi
caIly impossible; so with the drumming
on the breast. of which Du Chaillu
makes so much.
That the gorilla does make a drum
ming noise is true enough, but 1t pro
duces the sound By beating q hollow
tree, and not by striking its breast.
The natives are not afraid of it, say
ing, "Soko--another of its names Is
man and nothing bad in him. When
attacked it mostly bites off the mans
fingers and lets him 60.
Like the orang-outang, it twists to-
gether branches of trees, and rests upon
them The natives laugh at it, because
when rain falls heavily the gorilla never
thinks of creeping under the platform
which II has made, but sits in the rain
with its hands or its head, allowing the
water to stream from the hair of its ell
bows

notwithstanding the fact that no railroad
has been built under ths grants. The CON

opened to settlement at $l.25 An acre and
that the price OF coal lands within fifteen
miles Of railroad be fixed at SO an acre,
and of land further 70 moved s. an acre.
