rins'a Sea Undisturbed.
VICTORIA, B. c., July 29.-The steam
ship Mischief has arrived here, from
shumigan Islands, with upward Of 49,.
600 seal skiing, being the coast catch of
Victoria schooners which have now en-.
tered Behring Sea.
The catch this year is the best ever
known. The sealers say they feel conf.
dent that no seizure will be made this
year, and that the total catch will beat
all previous years.
Advices from Stand Point, Unga
Island, Alaska, say the United States
cutter Rush arrived there on the 10th
inst, and boarded all the vessels remain.
ing there, distributing the Presidents
proclamatlon.r regarding the Behring Sea,
but would give no information as to
whether the vessels were to be seized,
The vessels are sailing for the sealing
waters, however. They say they will
go regardleas Of the proclamation. Many
OF them hope to elude the cutter by 20.
ing through Amoughta Pass. The Ger.
man schooner Adele, sailing from Ham
burg, is also here bound for the sealing
ground, so it is likely Germany will b.
interested in the question with Eng
land.
The Rush sailed on the llth for Ouna-
laska and the Seal Islands. In a few
days it will be known what her policy
is, as there will be plenty OF vessels for
her to seize. The schooner G. r. White,
Of Seattle, was seized in Ounalaska by
the customs officers there for having on
board more breech.loading arms than her
manifest showed.
The Alaska Commercial company,
now that they have lost the Seal Islands,
are developing their other interests in
Alaska. They have sent achooner load
OF machinery and expert miners to the
King gold mine, at Unga, and are deter.
mined 10 see whether the mines OF the
country are worth working. They are
also opening large coal deposit at Mol.
Ter, on the peninsula OF Alaska, and are
very sangaine OF big results. They are
projecting railroad to Chiguik bay.

with his employer removed the names
Of the payees from tho checks by means
Of acids. Then lie wrote the word

natural manner about business affairs.
When the work had been completed,

WAsHlNGToN, D. c., July o9.-The
Democratic Senators are greatly puzzled
over the result Of the Republican caucus
last night.
They were led to believe that definite
action would be taken on the Election
bill, but it appears there was very little
talk on the measure, the whole discus.
sion relating to the early passage OF the
Tariff bill, which the Republicans regard
as OF Importance.
The Democrats have not yet decided
upon any plan OF action, but it is under
stood they will make no tactious opposi-
ton to che Tariff bill, knowing that il
they do the Republicans have deter
mined to adopt the cloiture ruis and
force an early vote.
A leading Democratic Senator re.
marked to some OF bis colleagues to-day
that when the Tariff bill and the several
appropriation bills had been speedily
disposed Of, he did not believe the Sen.
ate would remain here a month or six
weeks longer simply to pass the Election
