THE SILVER MEASURE.
Opinions Of Business Men on the Effect Of III,
Nfv Law

NEW YORK, Aug. 3l.-A representative
of the Sun has the last few days discussed
the silver measure with great many men
who are prominent in various lines of bust
ness. Men who opposed the Silver Bill
while it was under debate at Washington
now go no further than TO say that there
has not been sufficient lapse of time fully to
test its merits.
James A. Garland, President of the First
National Bank, said: 81 think that the
new silver policy will c0nduce to the pros
perity of all the business interests of the
country"
Fred d. Tappen, President of the Gala
tin National Bank, expresses himself IN
terms almost Identical with those used by
Garland.
II. W. Cannon, President Of the Chase
National Bank, had this to say: " 1t IS very
difficult to predict the course of prices or
the benefits that will accrue 10 the United
States from the passage OF the Silver Bill.
1t is certain that the prices of principal
commodities must be adjusted in all coun-
tries Of the world if the price Of silver is to
be maintained, and l see no reason why it
will not be maintained. Undoubtedly, as
silver is marked up in India and elsewhere,
the prices Tor wheat and cotton will rise,
and II we can sell our wheat cotton, oil,
etc, at advanced prices it will be q great
benefit to the country, and pa ticularIy to
the agricultural community. tits, however,
important that the prices of products which
are imported should not become to much
inflated in this country by rise in the price
of silver
a. NJ. Townsend, agent of the Hong Kong
and Shanghai BANKING Corporation, said j:
This new silver legislation is going to be
great benefit TO the export trade of America,
resulting in a larger demand and better
prices for nearly all experts, particularly
etc, and the import trade with Eastern
countri's viii, too, think, be benefited by
the higher value Of silver"
Henry Clews said: I" The law is good
one and it ought TO have had good effect
much earlier than it did,"

that he would take one, two, three, four
steps, abruptly stop, turn and retrace his

SEAL FISHERIES.
The Behring Sea QUESTION From CONNER
cial Point Of View

New \ oRK, Sept. I'D. 0. Mills has an
article in the September North American
on the Bearing Sea question. II deals
mainly with the necessity and Importance
of the restrictions imposed upon the Alaska
and North American companies, and shows
how quickly the seals would be extinguished
if an indiscriuinate slaughter of seals were
allowed. He discusses the question only
from commercial point of view, and calls
attention TO tile fact that England is inter-
ested to a greater extent than any other
country except the United States in the
maintenance of the seal fisheries. He says:
LAS fur-wearing people the English have
rs deep concern as we have in The pre>er-
walton of the fisheries, and indeed Great Britain
could pToftably afford to pay some one to
take care of the herd, rather than have the
herd destroyed, or be instrumental in aid
ing those whose operations, il continued,
must result in It's destruction. Looking at
this question from a commercial point of
view it would be difficult for any nation to
justify itse,f If by e0ntgivanee or c0nven-
ieDce it should be accessory to the practical
extinguiShment of a species of animal which
is of commercial importance and which,
with proper care, might b. preserved to
commerce for all time. Indeed, the eXig-
encieS OF the situation might Justify cOm-
bIned action on the part OF all nations in-
terested for the protection Of the waters of
Behrlng Sea. pending a settlement of the
present diplomatic dispute"

Imp1rtant Land Decision.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The Secretary of
the Interior yesterday decided the case of the
Central Pacific Railroad against S. ID. Val
entine, involving the question of the exceD-
tion Of mineral lands from railroad grants.
The particular tract involved is in the Sac
mento (Cal) Land District. The Secretary
holds that by the terms of the railroad grant
all mineral lands" are excepted from its
operation, whether known to be general in
character at the date when the railroad COM
pany's rights attached under the grant or
not, if they are discovered 10 be mineral
lands at any time before the issuance Of the
patent to the company, or certification where
the patent is not requir, d. He also holds
the discovery of the mil eral character of
the lands after the company's rights have
attached to its granted lands proves such
lands were mineral in character at the date
when the company's rights attached, and
were, therefore, within the terms of excep-
tion from the grant. This decision is of
vast Importance to railroads running through
mineral belts, and is also contrary to the
doctrine laid down by Judge Sawyer, the
United States Circuit Judge in California,

TULARE BIG TREES.
Efforts 10 Secure Senate Action on the sequoia
National Park Bill

WASHINGTON Cd. c., Aug. 31.-General
Vandever has been working hard to secure
favorable action by the Senate on his bill
which passed the House last Saturday
creating the Sequoia National Park. The
Senate's time viii be occupied in the dis
cuSsion of the Tariff Bill sometime, and after
that it is probable that matters of national
Importance will consume the time of the
Senate until the adjournment. General
Vaudever is anxious to have the measure
passed by the Senate before the adjourn
ment as it is likely that nearly all of next
session will be occupied in the discussion
of the Federal Election Bill.
A California Associated Press agent
called upon Senator Hearst tonight to find
out what were the prospects for passing
the bill through the Senate before adjourn
ment. lie said that lie had had long talk
with Senator Dolph and impressed upon
him the Importance of law for the pro-
lection Of these trees as soon as possible;
that it would cost comparatively nothing,
and at the same time crafty not only the
people Of California, who took great pride
in the trees, but would be matter of in-
tereSt and pride to the country at large.
Senator Dolph, who is member Of the
Committee on Public Lands, was heartily
in favor of Vandever's bill, and promised
that he would do all he could for the bill,
and he thought he would experience no diff
Guilty whatever in getting the Committee
on Public Lands tO favorably report, and
that very soon.

wounded?"
"When mimic ball strikes you at short
distance, as the ball did which took off my
arm, you feel stunning shock, very much
as if man had struck you with brickbat.
After that you feel the pan-sharp, sting
ing, cutting, as if thousand knives were
lacerating every nerve and red-hot Goals
were consuming Your vitals. Then follows
a sickening sensation, caused by loss OF
blood, aud. ii you are fortunate you lose

PACIFIC RAILROADS.
A Minority Report Submitted to the House
Opposing the Funding Bill.


Opposing the Funding Bill.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l.-Representative
Dalzell yesterday submitted to the House in
behalf of the minority of the House Commit
tee on Pacific Railways report in opposi-
tion TO the bill for refunding the debt of the
Central and Union Pacific roads. 1t is
signed by Dalzell, Flick, Cooper Of Indiana,
ONeil Of Massachusetts. and Reilly. The
opposition OF these Representatives is based
upon different reasons, and they refrain
therefore from setting forth at length their
individual views. Some of them are of the
opinion that this legislation is premature at
this lime as the seven years yet to elapse
before the maturity OF the debt may bring
forth changes in the financial position that
would prove any action taken at this time
unwise. If the 1unding acts eventually
prove the proper method they can as well be
passed hereafter when the real relation be-
tween the Government and debtors at the
time the debts mature can be intelligently
grasped. The minority are unanimous in
the opinion that the railway companies are
not justified in asking any arrangement upon
business principles, except upon the basis
that they shall pay the uttermost farthing of
their debt They are clearly Of the opinion
as plain business proposition that the bill
reported by the majority gives an unjust
advantage to the debtors and fails to do JUS
tice to the Government.
