In THE award of the seal fishery
privileges the Alaska Commercial Com
psny comes to grief, and a new combins-
ton gets the contract. The Government
is to receive q million dollars year in
stead of about one-third that sum here
tofore paid for the monopoly of the enter
prise. 1t has cost the Government
more than was received to protect the
company in the rights guaranteed. This
expense will be largely cut down in the
future if there is an understanding
reached between our Government
and that of Canada as to the
rights of the two peoples in
that sea. Under proper restrictions
the seals may be made source of profit
for all time to come; but without the
surveillance now exercised by the Gov
ernment year or two would bring the
whole business to an end. If the Gov
ernment receives 500 900, 900 in the mex
twenty years the purchase of Alasks
will prove to have been wise step.

COMMANDER W,CALLA.
Ae Denies the Charges Made
Against Him by HIS Men.

New YORK, February % Commander
McCalla, of the United States ship Eu-
terprise, in an Interview today made d
partial denial of the statements of his
officers and men, mentioned in these
dispatches last night. He said he was
not afraid of the result of an official in
vestigation when one was made.
About cutting down Walker with his
sword, he said it is true that Walker
came on board drunk, ran wild about the
decks and shouted: 81 vas rebel aud
fought two years in the war, and 1 have
not got enough fighting yet. pm not
afraid of the biggest man on board, You
blasted plug, and 1 won't keep quiet.
No, l won't" The man refused to
listen to reason, and McCalla finally
went to him himself. Walker tried TO
strike him, and McCalla cut him down.
The surgeons record shows that his
wound was on the back of his head, an
inch and half long and extending to
the bone.
McCalla entered denial of several
other reported incidents, and said the
story about Lady PIayfsir's coachman is
an absolute lie. He asked whether his
action in censuring Chief Engineer
Entwistle for using salt instead of fresh
water in testing the boilers was not
justified.
McCalla allowed the reporter to 60 for
ward among the men, and they with one
or two exceptions, coincided with the
printed statements that the voyage had
been one of great brutality. The crew
is preparing a document to send to
Washington.

Have Reached Its Height.
CINCINNATI, February 28.--At 10
O'Clock tonight the river WAS 56 feet 61a
inches, and rising at the rate of half an
inch an hour. Under existing condi-
tions the river at this point is not likely
to reach 81 feet, and by tomorrow mid
night will be probably stationary, and
by Sunday be falling. All this is con-
ditioued upon exemption from heavy
rain in the Ohio valley during the next
two or three days. The interruption CT
business by the present food is COM
plete. SO far as the river trade is con-
cerned. Steamers cannot pass under the
suspension bridge, nor can they receive
or deliver freight.
THE FLOOD AT LOUISVILLE.
LOUISVILLE, February 2S The river is
still rising half an inch an hour. 1t has
forced a number of manufacturing estab'
lishments on the river front to shut
down. Tonight it stopped raining and
turned quite cold, and fall of the water
is expected.

SIR CHARLES TUPPER's ARGUMENT.
KINGSTON, Ont, February 2S.-Tupper.
in his argument before the Bering Sea
Commission, will claim that the position
OF the United States is anomalous. He
will say: "They found their claim to
sovereignty over the sea on title by pur-
chase, yet when purchasing they held
that the vendor had not that sovereignty
to sell. Having completed their acquisi.
tlon of Alaska on the eastern side of the
ocean limiting line. they assert their
sovereignty was acquired by cession, and
deny the existence of sovereign rights
over the sea on the opposite side of the
same line; and for the southern limit
they took the south pole, since in the
treaty no southern line is named. If
they rely on the closed sea argument,
their position is no more consistent. Are
they prepared to have their treatment of
this case applied by others to analogous
cases ?"

FROM all quarters comes the gratifying g
news that there is a great industrial
revival in this section. Nor is it only orange
lands that are being sought after. Other
classes OF farms are being bought and
improved. This is as it should be, for
while oranges pay perhaps the best profits
of all sorts of husbandry, yet there are
other very attractive enterprises in this
part of the world. 1t isreported that the
fruit crops of the East are almost total
failure this year. 1t is a matter we'll
understood that the fruit crop of the
Eastern States does not grow with the
multiplication of population. Indeed, no
material increase has been made in the
fruit output for years. 1t is difficult,
indeed impossible, to keep the crop
up to what it was years ago.
The new orchards fail to supply the place
of the trees frozen winter after winter.

from various cities in Texas report that
the severest norther of the season pre-

sleet and snow fell over large part OF
the State, and the mercury sank to 20
degrees below the freezing point in many
places. The fruit crop is badly damaged
and early vegetables are destroyed. The

A LARGE sum of money placed in sight
OF the average man is always a great
temptation to extravaganza. What as
surance have We that when all the bonds
for all purposes are voted the ring will
not sell them all, and go OF with vast,
wasteful and ill-advised scheme to
spend it all with rush? Those who
voted for the school bonds on the distinct
pie lgs that the high school building
should not 60 on Sand street by
the side of a foully offensive
graveyard will be slow to take
any pledges at their face value in the
future. There is every temptation to the
ring to sell all the bonds as rap
idly as possible, and put men at
work in large gangs on each CT the
branches OF the work, in order
to control votes next fall by which they
shall pelpstuate their hold on the offices.
The inside system of sewers ought to be
built, but there the work ought to stop
for the present. 1t is all the taxpayers
can afford to do at this time. 1t will give
employment to worthy laborers who are
now here. 1t will afford relief to certain
populous districts now without sewers,
and will accomplish all that is necessary
on any account at this time. If the
bonds for this interior work fail, it will
be because of the widespread and deep
rooted distrust of the Council that
exists. 1t will be because
the people are afraid to put
in the hands Of the ring the sure means
of perpetuating their reign over the city.
That may defeat the bonds for this pur-
pose. The storm drains never ought to
be built, for the reason that they are un-
necessary and would be useless if built.
The outfall sewer can wait another year
or two, it it is ever necessary, which we
think it never will be as proposed.
The questions are all important, and
every voter in the city ought to express
his will at the polls. 1t is above all
things the duty of every taxpayer to 80
do, as he will have to foot the bills, and
that in times when taxes are peculiarly
onerous.

The Great Russian Railway.
Ours is an age of radical methods as


Ours is an age of radical methods as
compared with all that went before us.
The postulates that underlie movements
in the past will not do today. This is
we'll illustrated in the proposed railroad
to be built by Russia to the mouth of the
Amoor river. During all the ages the
trouble with the great Muscovite empire
has been its choked position; hemmed
in from the sea at all points. Her
growth and the development of her COM
merce have been straugled by this situa-
ton. 1t is this feeling that has kept her
reaching out for some outlet. 1t is this
that inspired all her aggressions on the
territory OF the Turk. The same cause
has been urging her to the &C.
QUESTION of territory leading her to the
Indian ocean. To realize her dreams
of gaining breathing space on the seas
of the world has called for the conquest
of foreign soil. But things are changed.
The mouth of the Amoor would furnish
the outlet the empire has sought for, but
it lay too far away from the centers Of
population, and of government. 1t lay
too far away as things we're in the past,
but as things are now it is near home.
The proposed railroad all safely within
Russian territory, will allow the trans
portstion of troops and of supplies to the
ocean, and here feet may rendezvous
and get supplies. A large commerce can
be built up there, too, for with the
construction of the Nicaragua Canal the
mouth of the Amoor will not be very re-
mote from Western Europe. Some day
Russia will be called on to beat back the
hordss of China bent on the conquest of
the West. This railroad will be of great
service in war with the Mongols. 1t is
great undertaking, but 1t will do great
deal in the way of developing Russia in
ternally and from commercial point of
view, as we'll as in building her up as
naval power and in putting her on a
footing to contend with her half-barbar-
GUS neighbor to the south.

CIVIL service Witness.
WASHINGTON, February 2S.-The Civil
Service investigation was resumed today.
One of the charges against the commits
sion considered today, averred that
Roosevelt secured the appointment Of
Hamilton Shidy to place in the Census
Bureau, when it was known that Shidy.
as secretary of the board of local ex-
sminers, at the Milwaukee postofice,
had persistently and repeatedly violated
his oath of office in making false certi-
fications and not reporting violations OF
the Civil Service law. Shidy testified
that there were Irregularities in the Mil
waukee posteffice which he did not re-
port, as he considered his duty to the
postm aster to be paramount. This post
master was Paul, an appointee of the
last administration. Shidy said it was
made part OF his duty under Paul to
"torture" the records, 80 as to make
some certifications improperly. Paul
had free access to all the lists and at
times revised the examination papers, to
change the percentage of applicants.
