WAsIHSGToN, March l.-This afternoon
Secretary Villas sent TO the Senate report
from Gov. Sw!neford, Of Alaska, upon
the reported outrages upon women in
Alaska. His views upon this subject have
been published. Concerning missionary
work in Alaska, the Governor says
81 can but express the earnest hope
that either the Government or tho Board
Of Home Missions may be able very soon
TO iind field far remote from Alaska in
which the peculiar talents and altogether
questionable methods OF the Rev. DR..
Sheldon Jackson can be more proitably
employed"
Gov Swineiord says that two or three
Of the missionaries are responsible for the
vile ISLANDERS upon the white people OF
Alaska which have been sent broadcast
through the country, and he recommends
that the Presbyterian Board of Home Mis-
sions make thorough investigation VI the
management OF its Alaska stations.

general of the marine hospital service
said that up to the present time he had
not received even an intimation of any
suspicious cases in the yellow fever dis.

hospital service were under instructions
to keep sharp lookout for the appear
ance of the fever
1t was July % that the first case OF
yellow fever at Jacksonville was report
ed to him last year. There is, however,
said the doctor, less danger of an cpl
demic at Jacksonville than ever before,
owing to the thoroughness of the in
spection there and to the fact that every
article from which fever might be ger
minated had either been burned or fu-
migated.

Those Secured at Dayton Not Printed From

WASHINGTON, July2 t.-Some officious
person connected with tine secret SER
vice has endeavored to make it appear,
in connection with the recent arrest of
Nelson briggs, the aged counterfeiter.
in the west, that the securities captured
were printed from plates stolen from the
bureau Of engraving and printing, if
ury department. Possibly this report
originated with some superserviceable
secret service operatives appointed un-
der the last administration, who are
anxious to be retained. Capt Mere
dith, superintendent of the bureau of
engraving and printing. having had his
attention called to this report, said:
There is not word of truth in it.
Whatever counterfeit money was cap
tured was printed from plates made by
the counterfeiters. 1t is absolutely i'm
possible that any paper should have
been printed and stolen from the
bureau. Every piece of paper has fifty
checks upon it before it is delivered to
the treasurer as money. The pressman
receipt for every plate they receive and
for every piece of paper given them.
Their presses are locked at night when
their work is done by key which they
do not control There is no investiga-
tion going on at the bureau Of engrav-
ing as to this matter or as to any other
matter. There is no need of an investi-
cation. The report is an invention of
some operative or suggestion of some
counterfeiter who thinks he can in
some way blackmail the government ="
The Dayton Raid a Fizzle.
The Star prints the following: Had
the raid on the gang of counterfeiters at
Dayton, o., few days ago been sue
cessful it was expected to furnish an
other reason for Mr.. Bells retention.
1t is quite likely, however, that what
ever chances of retention he may have
had are now gone. The raid appears to
have cost great deal of money, and to
have been considerable of failure.
Jim Tyson, the sick man of the
counterfeiters gang, got away with all
the plates, it is said, leaving only Nell
son briggs, his wife and one other in
the hands of Mr.. Bell, together with
some thousands of counterfeit money.
The main object of the raid, to get the
plates, was not accomplished. and as
long as Tyson and his associates are at
large and have these plates there is
practically no limit to the amount of
money they can print The capture of
old Nelson briggs merely returns him
to the penitentiary, where he has but
recently served fifteen years term"

1t is Rumored That the Club viii BE

PITTsBURG, July 26. Charley Janney,
business man of st. Louis, who is in
the city, tells of deal in base ball that,
if it proves to be a fact. will be one OF
the most sensational events i'll the his
tory of the National game that has taken
place for many years. Mr.. Janney
stated his information came from George
Munson, secretary of the Browns. Mum
son, SO it is said, told the story in con-
fidence to one of his friends, and the
latter let it leak out, and in this way it
got circulated about.
The deal, as related by Janney, is
that Won der Abe has been correspond
ing with President Hewitt, of the Wash
ington club, with view of transferring
the Browns to that city, and final AZ
engagements we've made few days ago.
The Washington club has always been
a tail-ender in the League Notwith-
standing this it draws good crowds and
has made some money. If the team was
a winning one the club would be one of
the most prosperous in the League.
Several attempts have been made to
strengthen the Washingtons. This year
big money was spent to secure good
players, among them being Morrell,
Wise, Irwin and others, but it was all of
no avail 1t is now assured that next
season Washington will be represented
bya team second to none in the League
At the close of the season the present
St Louis club will be transferred bod
lily to Washington; Won der Abe will
have nearly the full ownership of the
new Washington club, Mr.. Hewitt re
tanning only small interest. Charlie
Comiskey will, of course, handle the
club, as he has done in the past.

to hundreds of thousands of dollars are

award a large sum was paid into the
United States treasury by Mexico but
after one or two payments by the United
States government to the claimants the
Mexican government made such strong
representations that the claims were
fraudulent that further payment was
stopped by the state department.
During President Arthurs term a
fresh adjudication was made by COM
mission but the treaty was rejected by
the senate. The cases hung fire until
now report has been made to the pres
ident. No hint of its nature is given
out, however, cut there seems to be COM

be paid over to the We'll and La Abra

A Senator Returns from the Provinces
with Information on the Subject.
WASHINGTON. July 26.-''The annexa-
ton question between Canada and the
United States" said Senator Wade
Hampton, who has just returned from a
tour of the Canadian provinces, lis one
that is being very seriously considered
by the Canadian authorities. 1t is con-
ceded by them that there must be some
kind Of settlement of the question in the
near future either by commercial union
or else reciprocity treaty, which will
bind the two countries into closer and
more liberal business association.
ITO put off an agreement will only in
crease the friction engendered by the
fisheries troubles and the transportation
question. But the Catholic element,
which is mainly composed of French
and half-breeds, will, in all probability,
strongly oppose any annexation scheme
whatever that is likely to bring the
provinces and states into Federal union
1t was that element that effectually op-
posed the union Of Canada with Ameri-
can colonies at the time of the revolu-
tionary war The reason for this was
that the Catholic element of Canada
feared the domineering influence of New
England Professionalism, which was in
tensely hostile to Catholicism, while
their loyalty to old England was firmly
secured by repeal Of all restriction
laws, and by the promise, given by the
government of that country, that their
religious liberty should be forever fully
secured to them. The same spirit that
actuated them then actuates their oppo-
sition now, when the question of union
is soberly discussed
1.-The masses of the people generally,
however, as far as had opportunity to
converse with them, were strongly in
favor of MI. Bayards treaty PROPOSE
ton for the settlement of the fisheries
question. l was surprised to learn that
the subject was more generally under
stood among the Canadian masses than
it is among our own. They seemed to
understand all the details of the fisheries
proposition, and they believe that its
ratification would have secured the ut
most harmony hereafter. A distin-
guished New England senator, whom 1
need not name. who has been conspicu-
GUS in his opposition to the treaty, has
been in Canada only recently. It was
his visit that put the people to talking
about the treaty, and they are very de-
cided in their expressions that if any
very serious complications should arise
