SEAL FISHERIES.
The Bids Under Consideration by Secre-
resary Window.

re,ary Window.
WASHINGTON, February 26th- correspond
ent writes to the California Associated Press as
follows: "0f the twelve bids made for the lease
OF the Seal Islands. there are but nine before
the Secretary of the Treasury for his consicera-
tion. The bidding is double in its nature being
on the basis of 20 900 skins per year for the low
est limit, aud l00.0 600 for the highest limit
The following IS summary Of the BIDS on
bases named. respectively: American Fishing
asd Trading Company OF San Francisco, su,-
044 90 and 81, ,340, go; North American Trading
Company Of West Virginia, s., goo, 900 and si4,-

the Atlantic and Pacific Trading Company. sl0,-
Comm Commercial Company OF Illinois. Hi 50 e52 aCo and and
SIS, $40 900; the North American Commercial
Company Of New York and San Francisco, $I4-

same company is Sl2 790, 900 and so, 000 and
still another bid by the same company Is Sl3-
4i2 0O0 and S2l, ,662 000
1T would seem to the casual observer who
had carefully read the printed bids. as pub
lished by the Secretary, that the the three bids
last named would not be worthy of consider
stion, as they are all made by the same com
pany. with the evident intent to take undue ad-
vantage OF the other bidders and free compe-
tition. The nature of the seal business, as it
has been carried on generally in Pacific waters
for the last few years. has been such as 10 natu
rally lead TO the suppositon that possibly some
Of the parties connected with that business
have, in one way or another, become interested
in the lease OF the islands.
"a knowledge Of this win lead the eecretary to
make careful inquiry with view to ascertain
ing whether any OF these parties are connected
with the bids. Il is a matter of common rnmor
on the streets. and II may possibly be true, that
some Of the bidders have been engaged in un-
lawful business Of this character, much to the
6etriment Of the interest of the Government.
Mani'estly, If that be the case, the contract
ought not TO be awarded to such parties.
It,win be observed that there are several
bids better than that of the old company. A
study OF their bids does not disclose any reason
why it should be accepted over other bids offer

The Brazilian ship OF State Being EN-

LONDON, February 26th-T The friends of lib
erty in Europe, and those who hope for per-
petuity of republican institutions in Brszil,
have The grayest fears Tor the future of that
country. By taeit, if not concerted, agree
ment all the monarehical powers of Europe
are throwing every obstacle in the path of
those who are laboring TO consolidate free gov
eminent there, and the smallest cause for in
suit and ofense TO them is early taken advan-
tage of.
1t appears almost certain that England is be-
ing urged by the other powers to take the initi-
alive in actual hostilities, as the most prom
inent naval power, one whose Government is
theo etically the freest and also the one most
anxious to retain reputation for protecting its
citizens in all portions of the globe.
Foreigners In Brazil, and especially English
ard Germans, have had for years alnoS. mo-
nopoly of the trade of commercial cities, and
the recent DEGREES there enforcing nsturaliza
ton have been so distasieiul as TO force an ex-
odus OF u majori-y of them from the county
Those whose interests do not permit of their
leaving, being possessed of capital and infltl-
ence, have sheltered themselves under the flags
OF their representatives and openly boast OF
their ability to overthrow the republic. They
have done their utmost, even by openly assault
ing the officers of the law, to precipitate a
rupture.
1t is highly probable that some wealthy Eng
lishmsn will soon cause an effusion of blood in
the hope of obtaining notorety, and thus bring
on complications the consequence OF which will
be disastrous to Brazil
The Marquis OF Salisbury has. shown by his
treatment OF the Brazilian Charge d d'AffaiFes an
astounding lack of diplomacy, and justified the
remark made by Liberal leader OF the House
Of Commons that the prejudice against free in
stitutions is so ingrained IN men of Lord Sails
bufys stamp as to hopelessly eradicate every
principle OF fairness and justice.

RUSSIAN RAILWAY.
A Road to Gross Siberia Through the
AmoOr Country

<AhtUOI country
ST. PETERSBURG. February 26th-A final de-
cision has at last been reached. by the Imperial
Government on the trans-Siberian railroad and
the WOTk OF coz truciioi VIII be begun at once
and pusht d vigorously to completion. Surveys
have been made with sufficient accuracy to de-
termine the most practicable route, and they
also indicate the cost and time required for the
enterprise.
General Annenkof, the builder of the trans
Caspian road, reckons that the entire line to
Vladivostock will cost less than 500 coo 600 and
that through trains from the Baltic to the Pa
cific can be iun within five years from the be-
ginning.
A highly important consideration in this mat
ter is the colonization of the country along the
Amoor river. Besides the vast agricultural
possibilities, the region is exceedingly rich in
precious minerals. tor years it has been known
to contain some of the richest deposits of gold
in the world. and vast stores of gems have also
been taken from its mines.
All this region and its products belong to the
Russian Crown, but it borders on the northern
part of China, and the boundary line is i'll
guarded. The result is that the Chinese swarm
across by thousands, and are really securing
the lions share of the spoils.
There is still another immense advantage to
be secured 10 Russia by the construction of this
railway and that is the trade of the Pacific
Ocean. at present this traffic reaches Europe
almost exclusively By English routes. The
Northern Pacific trade is carried across America
by the Canadian and United States Pacific rail.
ways, and shipped to Europe by Atlantic lines.
The trade OF the central part of the coast finds
its way TO Europe by English routes through the
Suez canal. With the opening up of China and
Japan to commerce this trade is of enormously
increasing importance, and it is to capture a
portion of it thst Russia now aims.
The Pacific terminus of the road " i'll be at
Vladivostock. There presently will be running
another road from some point in China to
Vladiyostock,. which will convey to the latter
point the traffic of China. Steamship lines will
also connect it with all the important Chinese
and japanese points. Thence the transit across
the Russian Empire to Europe will be much
easier, quicker and cheaper than by the Ameri-
can routes.
In point of time it will have the advantage of
at least week. 1t will also avoid the risks and
unplessantness of voyages across two oceans,
and viii require less handling and reshipment
of goods. Whether or not it be true that a sea
voyage impairs the quality of tea, here, at any
rate, will be the possibility OF conveying all the
tea OF China to Europe overland.

The liver of the oyster-if he Will for
give a reference to such delicate matter
is his most important feature. So say
the learned men. The liver mass is very
dark in color, and can be easily seen with
the naked eye. The size and importance
of this tissue, says Professor Rice, is what
makes the oyster so grateful to delicate
stomachs. A diet OF raws will cure dys-
pepsia, he says, and he lays it to the liver.
Similia similibus curantur. Speaking of
livers, it is a curious fact, although in
tended by nature to lead sedentary life,
the oyster thrives upon exercise. If he
becomes attached to the hull of vessel or
the shell of some movable animal, like
lobster, for instance, he will be bigger
and healthier oyster in consequence. But
he can do a great deal of "settin' STILL"
and yet not suffer from enlargement of

The Secretary of War Explains the Acts
of the Military.

WASHINGTON, February 26th.-In response to
a Senate resolution the Secretary of War to-day
Transmitted to Congress the papers relative to
the action of the military in oklahoma. One
interesting feature is the charges against the
military of undue and harsh exercise of au-
thority The officers in charge reply that they
found large numbers of lawless people, and the
action taken by them was necessary for the
preservation of peace. The charges are said TO
have emsnated from discontented gamblers
and others whom the military prevented from
causing trouble. AS to preventing the election
on september 2lst 1t was done at the request of
with view of preventing serious trouble
which certainly would have occurred 1he
cali Tor the election was issued by discontented
and unruly citizens, and contrary TO the city
charter.
General Schofield thinks, considering the deli
cate service required, it is a matter of con-
graduation that it was performed so well and
with so few mistake.

Some Big Fees.

The doctors who attended the late King
of Portugal during the last few weeks Of
his illness presented bills for their services
amounting to nearly 100000 One of
them demanded $4,000 for ten visits,
another demanded $1,000 for fifteen,
while a third thought that $4,000 was
not too much to ask for his attendance at
eighteen consultations. Eventually the
new King succeeded in efEecting thesettIe-
ment of their claims by means Of lump
sum of 100000. OF couEse, this was polite
robbery. In too many cases such estates
are robbed. 1t seems TO make no differ
