The Lessees of the Seal Islands.


NEW YORK, April ia Herald Washington
special says Il am informed by member OF
the administration that the new lessees of the
Seal islands are giving the government consid
cradle trouble and anxiety by their extravagant
demands for protection, and he has no conf
dence that the recently executed contract will
endure without material modification of the
terms to the pecuniary disadvantage of the gov
eminent. Whenever the state of diplomatic
negotiations shall make it plain that the United
States government IS no longer asserting a
claim of exclusive Jurisdiction over the eastern
part of Behring sea, the new leSSeeS are eX
pected to take the opposition that there has
been breach of the morally implied conditions
under which these proposals of the lease were
made and accepted, and they will demand and
press for settlement of the terms to accord
with the virtually new situation created by the
handing over of the sealing industry TO all
corners by water, restrained only by regulations
directed against the destructive use of COM
mon privilege.
'srhe treasury officers, who have uniformly
acted upon the theory that pelagic sealing was
unlawful and subject to suppression by the
United States, are disposed to SympathiZe with
the lessees over the embarrassment that COR
fronts them at the very threshold of their enter
prise. They do not question that the high bids
offered for the lease of the seal islands
in public competition last February were
in large part based upon the anticipated lack
of seals and the consequent high price in the
London market. These antic1patiOnS are not
likely to be realized. The present prospects are
that merchantable skins in sufficient number to
meet the demands of the market will be laid
down in London at an average cost of not more
than from eight dollars to nine dollars per skin
or from three dollars to four dollars less per
skin than the new lessees of Pribyloy islands
can possibly supply them. The old lessees are
understood to have very advantageous lease
of the Russian seal islands, from which they can
supply, if the London market will take
them. as many as forty-fve thousand to
fifty thousand skins at a price less than the
rental and royalty that the new lessees are
bound to pay into the treasury for their catch
at Pribyloy islands The old lesseeS are also un-
derStood at the treasury to be preparing to en-
gage extensively in pelgic sealing under new
and lawful conditions to be established by the
pending international convention.
Il am assured that seal skin garments are
likely to be abundant and comparatively cheap
in the retail market next winter, despite paus-
IDLE and persistent assertions to the contrary
made prior to the late letting of the seal island

WASHINGTON, April 19-At noon to-day the
Pan-Amercan conference adjourned sine die
after the transaction of some routine business
and the adoption of resolutions pledging the
sympathetic association of the members of the
conference with the quadro-centennial celebra-
ton of the discovery OF America and expressing
their gratitude for hospitality. A motion to adj
journ sine die was made and put to vote.
Blaine rising to announce the result. said:
Gentlemen, L withhold for moment the word
of final adjournment, in order that may ex-
press to you the profound satisfaction with
which the government of the United States re-
CARDS the work accomplished by the Interna-
tional conference. The extent and value of all
that has been worthily achieved by your confer
ence cannot be measured to-day. We stand too
near it. Time will define and heighten the esti-
nation Of your work; experience will confirm
our faith; the final result will be your vindica-
ton and your triumph. If, in this closing hour,
brate we should not dare to call the
worlds attention to the deliberate, con-
tident, solemn dedication of two great
continents TO peace and TO prosperity, which
have peace for their foundations. We hold UP
this new magma charta, which abolishes war
and substitutes arbitration between American
republics the fruit of the great International
American conference
The delivery OF the address was character
lied by Blaine'S customary deliberate empha-
sis, and also gave evidence of deep feeling or
his part. The members of the conference ther
| took carriages to the executive mansion to pay
their parting respects TO the President
The delegates were received by the President
| in the east room shortly after noon. The Pres
| ident spoke as follows: L find in this parting
call of the delegates to the conference of Amer
can states, both pain and pleasure. partict-
pate in the regret which the delegates from the
| United States feel who are to part with those
from the other, countries. 1 take pleasure in
the knowledge of the fact that your labors have
| been brought to happy conclusion. remark
with pleasure the proposition which will be
productive of peace among the American states
represented in the conference. 1t will be with
out excuse if one of them shall lift u hostile
hand against the other We gave you the other
day review of small detachment of the
American army. not to show you we have
army, buS that we have none; that our securi-
ties are lodged with our people, and that they
are safe. In conclusion, find much to approve
in the friendly purposes of the conference

Married Against Her Will,

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New HAVEN, April 19.-Henry Foote, a
widower twenty eight years of age, drove
up in front of the Sterling house, Chapel
street, Tuesday afternoon, and ringing the
bell asked for the twenty one year old
daughter of the proprietor, Miss Minnie
Burt. F'oote was slightly acquainted with
the young lady and after some conversa-
ton invited her to take short drive in
the park. She accepted, but instead
of taking her to 1.-THE park, Foote drove
into the country where he made proposal
of marriage. The girl refused and at
tempted to jump from the carriage, but
Foote held her in the seat while he drove
the horse at al breakneck pace, at the same
time threatening to killa her if she at

that the girl be sent out of town for the

WESTERN POLITICS.
A Plan to Defeat the Reelection
OF Stanford and Jones
TO THE UNITED STATES SENATE.
The Lessees of the Alaskan Seal Islands
Closed Sea Question Affects Them
Very Seriously.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-[Special telegram to
THE HERALD. There is a curious story in cir
culation to-day which concerns the United
States Scholarships in California and Nevada,
and possibly the next Vice-Presidency of the
country. The story came to me from gentle
man high in the councils of the Republican
party. So far as it goes, it is vouched for as
being absolutely correct.
Mr.. G. p. Huntington, il is said, is determined
that Leland Stanford shall not return to the
Senate. The latter's term will expire next
March and his successor will be elected during
the preceding winter Governor Stanford will be
made to see that he can't succeed himself, and
he will be promised, if he will withdraw in favor
of Greed Haywood, that all the influence of the
Pacific coast will be eXerted to secure his nomi-
nation as VicePresiden. on the Republican
ticket in 1892.
1t is said that Governor Stanford is already
considering this proposition, and the under
standing is that he will accept it, and that
within the next few days he will announce his
withdrawal from the Senatorial race
Another result of Mr.. Huntington's election to
the presidency of the Southern Pacific railway
system is to secure, if such be possible, the
election of F. G.. Newlands to the seat in the
Senate now occupied by John p. Jones, of
Nevada. Mr.. Jones' term will expire next
March, simultaneously with Governor STAN
ford's. Senator Stewart is said to be in the
combine against his colleague, and the word
has gone forth here that Newlands must be
elected in spite of Mr.. Jones' opposition No
thing but Democratic victory in either Cali
fornia or Nevada WILL am told, prevent the
successful carrying out of this programme in
each of the three directions indicated.

equestrian statue of General Grant in Wash
ington passed. Adjourned.
