NEW YORK, Sept 1.-The first fall meef~
ing of the Union League Club was held to.
nigh. with Chauncey NJ. Depew in the
chalr. General Sherman was on the plat.
form. Mr. Depew thanked the club in 3
speech Tor Its cordial welcome upon his re,-
turn from abroad. and said:
OF all the great Americans known on the other
SIDE. not even excepting General Grant, mons
are so wei known a. Jafnes @. Blaine aud
William Mckinley. They seem to regard Mo-
kinney as man who has been studying mn
economical subjects and invented a new schema
by which to close up the factories OF Europe ana
starve The people into submission to thea mericsn
government They piled me with questions a to
Mckinley, and tried TO get an expression a 70
the nature OF the man and what he Is going 20
do with all the people abroad. replied that m n
notion OF Mckinley was that possibly he
had an idea OF inducing them to
migrate with eli their factories ana
worknen to the great American country
and thus increase the consuming capacity Of
the United States In respect 10 agricultural
products. Inasnuch as some Of the great goy.
ernments abroad have taken q notion that they
do not want to he on familiar terms with thu
American hog the best they can do ID 70 in,
crease the consuming capacity OF the American,
hog at home.
A committee of five of the ex-emploves
OF the New York Central who went out o.l
strike, called on Depew TODAY to talk over
the matter of the strike Depew told them
they had resigned in his absence, and that
their places had been filed by Webb; that
his action had been approved by the direc.
tors OF the road. and tnat there was
nothing more to be said or done. Thu
strikers left rather crestfallen.

VICTORIA. Sept. 1.-THE sealing schoone
Adele. which mas igst arrived, reports that
on August 10 b. while lying az Coal Har-
Dor. Shumagin islands she WAS boarded by
boat sent from the United States cutter
Rush. Lieut.. A. J. Henderson was in
command. On boarding the Adele he
asked bow many skins she had. and whore
they were caught. He was told in the
North Pacific ocean. NJ examination of
the vessel was made. the United states
lieutenant not even looking beiow the
hate hes. The ships pareTs we're asked tor,
however, and duly IFS sectcd. Cart Ham
sen told the officer that ne should, on
leaving Coal Harbor go at once into
Behril sea. TO this the officer said
nothing. but left with Capt Hansen copy
of the proclamation oi President
Harrison pertaining TO Behring sea.
On july IA the Adele sailed into the sea
and made her catch undisturbed. She
found the weather very rough and bolster
Gus. more so than has been known for
years past. Parles on ooqrd her who have
been sealing for eleven years state that they
never encountered such bad weather be-
fore.
There have been some very severe vol
canic disturbances this summer on the
Oumnak islands, and the natives there are
frightened out of their wits. IL is the
opinion Of sealing men that these disturb
ances have had the effect Of changing the
haunts of the minute animaiculae on which
seals feed, and in consequence the seals
themselves have gone further westward.
This theory is in part established By the
fact that the catch OF seals on Copper
island has been much greater this season
than formerly.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-THE schooner
]. ii. Lewis arrived here today from Behr-
ing sea with 1,4Si seaskias. making her
total for the season 259i. On August 7.
sixty miles southeast OF Copper island, she
picked up three boats and eleven of the
crew of the schooner G. &. While, who had
lost the vessel in fog and had been five
days in open boats when found. While
trying to find shelter and water az Copper
island three of them were shot, James Carr
dying from his wounds. The boats were
riddied with bullets. Carr was taken
ashore at night ana buried by the crew.
Natives of Copper island shot at the men
because tney Thought they were coming to
XIII seals. Four boats in all strayed from
the White. One boat with six men landed
at Copper island, and the men reached
here a few days ago on the steamer Kar-
lux. The men brought down by the kar-
LUX say they were LETT 10 their fate in open
boats by tile captain of the c. q. White.

MORGAN AND SANDERS DISAGREE.
Lively Debate Over the Northern Pacific
Unearned Land Grant.

Lively Debate Over the Northern Pacific
Unearned Land Grant.
WASHINGTON CRY, Sept. 1l.-Senators
Morgan and Sanders had lively debate
this morning over Morgan's resolution CALI
ing on the secretary of the interior for in
formation with reference to the Northern
Pacific land grant, and the relations of that
COMPANY to settlers claims which it an
tagonized. The Montana senator objected
to consideration of the resolution and
moved to send it to the public land COM
nIittee. Morgan said this was simply to
move 10 smother the information asked
tor. He said he wanted the situa ion be-
tween the company and the settlers, who
were ltigating r their claims, published
to the whole country. He alluded to the
company's rights as to mineral lands.
That brought Senator Sanders up. He
stated his position and belief squarely In
reference to this trouble. He declared
that no REIMBURSEMENT of mineral lands
by the company was needed. 1t has no
interest In mineral lands. and any act of
REIMBURSEMENT was as unnecessary as if
the mineral lands along this line lay in the
District OF Columbia. He was opposed to
any legislation which assumed or limited
that the company had any right or title to
mineral lands except such as were spec
tally named.
Senator Morgan used some strong Ian
guage with reference to the fact that the
Northern Pacific railway had been con-
structed on lines other than those first
shown by the maps aud recorded after the
settlers had acquired certain rights. This
change of routes Senator Morgan charac-
terlzed as a vast osciilating, unduiatory
scheme of public plumber.
Senator Sanders expressed the opinion
that in all the changing OF route the law
bad always been such as to project settlers,
and he said there was not case where q
se ttler had lost title from this cause. Sem
ator Morgan replied that there were many
such cases.
Finally Sanders withdrew his objection
and the resolution WAS passed.

THE PUYALLUP COMMISSIONERS.
Interior Department Favors Appoint.
ment Of Two Washington Men.


WASHINGTON CRY. Sept. 1.-Wh hile the
president is up at Cresson enjoying vaca-
tion and doing business with the capitol by
wire, many of the public men who want
something al his hands. find that his abb
sence from the city brings delay and com.
plications. They cannot get at him to make
a personal appeal for the things in which
they are interested.
Senator Allen. of Washington, is one of
these. He is anxious that the appoint
ment of the commissioners TO negotiate
with the Puyaliup and Colville Indians be
appointed early enough for them to COM
plete their work and submit reports at tue
next session of this congress. He called at
the interior department today to press the
appointments, but the secretary SAID he did
not know what the president would do
The secretary is favorable to the appoint T.
ment OF the men from Washington who
have been recommended by the de egation.
In the absence of the president nothing
can be done but to leave the question uulil
he is ready to settle II.
