of our relations with Great Britain over such
a question as few seal-skins. One nation
or the other would give way rather than i'm
peril the public peace; but in this case 1t hap
pens that each nation has strong reasons
for adhering to its view. The United States
Government has just leased the Pryblloy
Islands to an American corporation for an
annual rental of something less than $780,
900, and the condition of the lease is that
the corporation shall be protected in Its
sealing privileges in the Behring Sea. Ii
the Government does not grant the protec-
ton the company will naturally refuse to
pay rent On the other hand, Canada In
sists that her people shall not be molested
in taking seals in sea which she claims TO
be an open sea, free to fishermen from all
parts of the world. If Great Britain is
lukewarm in sustaining the pretension OF
the colOnsts, the separatist party will be
strengthened and the colonial be weak
ened. Thus, if the United States yield, the
lease of the fur-ssal islands runs risk OF
being nulliiied and the Government may
lose its rent; and if Great Britain yields.
the dissatisfaction in Canada will Increase.
Events will cut the Gordian knot before
many weeks elapse. Behring Sea, 1t is re-
ported, is full of Canadian sealers, which
are taking seals outside the three-eague
limit In the same sea are two United
States revenue-cutters, which, it must be
presumed, are instructed to enforce the law
of 1870, and which may, though it is not
absolutely certain, be further instructed to
interpret the words "waters of Alaska" as
covering the whole of Behring Sea. One of
two things must happen. If the cutters seize
the sealers it will be notice to England
that the Washington Government adheres
to its view that Behring is closed sea.

A SAD DROWNING.
George F. Emig Meets Death
While Bathing.

George F. Emig, clerk and special agent
of the United States Land Office, on Com
mercial street, was drowned yesterday
afternoon at about 2:15 o'clock, while bath
ing off Fishermen's Wharf, in the near vi
cinity of Harbor View. Accompanied by
NJ. P. Eisenberg and l.. G. Randall, he went
there to battle. @He hurried ahead and dis
robed before they arrived. and plunged
about in the water until they entered.
When they stepped into the water he
started to swim to raft about 800 feet dis
tant, and for the moment he was forgotten.
In few moments young girl ran up and
asked whether THAT man." pointing along
the beach, was their friend. They looked,
and were Mortified to find a couple Of fish,
ermen trying to resuSctate Mr.. Emig by
rolling and other means known to those
who live on the water. But already the
spark of life had departed and all efforts
proved Intellectual. The Morgue was then
notified and the body was taken to an IN
dertaking establishment.
1t seems that before Mr.. Emig reached
the raft, toward which he had started when
last seen alive by his friends, he was taken
with cramps, and was unable on account of
his heavy avoirdupois to turn over on his
back to float, and had asphyxiated.
George f. Emig was native of Pennsyl-
he came to this city from Kansas, and has
been in the land Office ever since He
was special friend of Judge Bradford,
who secured him his position. He leaves a
widow and two daughters, aged respect
lively IS and 16 years. The deceased was a
member of King Solom0n's Lodge of Free
and Accepted Masons.

SHEFFIELD IN DiSTRES 5.

The Mayor of Sheffield England, says:
Il am old enough to remember when the
American market found trade for one-half
the population of this town, but from time
TO time arbitrary restrictions of one kind
or another have been imposed until at the
present time this country is almost entirely
shut out Of the market" This is the testi-
mony the Mayor of Sheffield voluntarily
offers of the wisdom of the American policy
of protection. The cutlery that used to be
manufactured in Sheffield is now made in
the United States. The workmen engaged
in this business live in this country, con-
sumo American farm products, invest their
earnings in American property and in
general way contribute to American pros
perity. The Sheffield Mayor continues
plantively: land yet Americans have
had the run of this country not only for
agricultural produce, but also for manu-
features" The Sheffield Mayor imagines
that the English manufacturers have a
grievance. The English mapped out their
policy on the assumption that Americans
would continue to produce raw material
and buy of them finished goods. The meas
ure Of free trade they adopted would have
insured this result if the United States had
not adopted different policy. The Amer
lean policy has built up manufactures in
this country and left those of England to
languish. The English complain. They
think they have been badly used. Ameri-
cans ought, in their estimation, to continue
to buy their finished goods in exchange for
raw cotton, grain and other agricultural
products. The Sheffield Mayor is not
happy in his illustrations. He says: Il
think if Americans have thought well to
make fire and have burned their fingers,
it is no reason that we should put our
hands into the flames" Whose fingers are
burned? Who is complaining, anyway?
Who feels the loss of the American market
to Sheffield manufacturers, except the
losers? The Americans at least are con-
tent to do the work the English once did.

MATEKMAN,s TKICKs.

Governor Waterman has declared that he
would not be candidate for nomination for
the office of Governor of the State of Cali
fornia. but events during the past few weeks
tend to show conclusively that aided by his
private secretary he is endeavoring to play
the part of boss and laying his wires SO
as to force certain influences to be used in
securing him delegates in the Republican
State Convention. His first move was
against Warden McComb, who was to have
been removed for "grage offenses," but
these bee anne very Insignificant when the
political friends of the General demon
strated that they could control a certain
number of votes in the convention.
Then the next move was in the Fire De-
partment, and it is to be expected that the
force of this powerful political engine will
be used to place in the convention number
of delegates from this city who will serve
Waterman first, last and all the time, and
the third move has been the reappointment
of the present Board Of Police Commits
sioners. Holding office by the Governors
grace, and during his pleasure, it Is to be
presumed that they will do what in their
power lies to increase the number of dele
gates who will declare themselves in favor
of Waterman. The private secretary. who
is no doubt the prime mover in this scheme,
which has been worked quietly, will find
that he has heavier load than he can carry.
lie may work a few city delegates, but he
will discover that the people of the interior,
who will have a voice in the convention,
have not forgotten that Waterman played
into the hands of the Democratic political
Claude Duval, and by failing to use the
restraining power which the law has en-
veloped him with allowed the people to be
robbed of millions In the guise of taxes
that were as useless as they were enormous.

BLOODTHIRSTY MONGOLS.
Outcome of the Highbinder Shooting
Chinatown.

Chinatown.
Two squads Of p0licemen-One under Ser
geant Spillane, the other under Detective
Glennon's direction-made raids yesterday
on the headquarters of the Chung Sack Son
Tong Society at 711h Jackson street, and
on the Said On Tong at 1016 Dupont street.
in the Chinese quarter.
These societies, or "tongs," are notorious
highlander gangs banded together for self
protection, and, it is said, for Matchmaking
and murderous purposes.
The raids were made in the hope OF finding
further clewS to the shooting at the corner
of Jackson and Stockton streets Tuesday
evening. 1t was shortly after o'clock
when when Chun Noon, Chinese sewing-ma-
chine operator, was fired at by highbinders
on Jackson street. Three shots only were
fired, and then the assailants escaped.
whittier is not known to the officers. Officer
Ross arrived on the scene late, as usual.
and did not even try to find Chun. The mo
sabe" of the excited Mongols satisfied
Ross that nothing could be doue, so the
matter was not regularly reported at police
headquarters.
1t was ascertained late at night that
Chun was III hiding, with bullet-hole
through his shoulder. Whether the wound
will prove fatal or not could not be learned,
as the Chinese, believing that Chun would
be cut open by doctor to find the bullet,
kept everything connected with the shooting
secret.
The fight was between the sOcieti es, ow-
ing to an existing grudge.
In one OF the highlander clubs two men,
Lee Quong and Long Low, were arrested
and placed in prison Oh charge of carry
ing concealed weapons Each had q tin
box of cartridges and an immense loaded
revolver of 4S-caliber and about two feet in
length,

OPPOSED TO SILVER.

The Democrats OF the Senate have al
lowed themselves to be placed in position
of real or seeming opposition to silver.
Whether the opposition is real or seeming,
time will disclose. If Cleveland or Hill or
Whitney heads the Democratic national
ticket it will be real. While Cleveland was
President, the Democrats naG iit5.a 70 say
about silver. The most they dared to do
was to vote with Republicans to prevent
MIR. Cleveland's recommendation to sus-
pend the coinage act from being adopted.
Legislation has taken such shape that the
conference bill is the alternative of no
legislation at all on the silver question
Free coinage is out Of the question, and, in
the estimation of the best friends of silver.
it may wisely be made to wait the result Of
an effort to raise the market price Of silver
70 its old ratio to gold. But the Democratic
Senators made haste to get on the wrong
side of the conference bill. They did so
without having an argument worthy of the
name to base their opposition upoB. The
objection that the Treasury is not required
to coin ali the silver purchased has no
weight, since the bullion redemption clause
in the House bill is taken out of the con-
ference bill. Silver will be coined as it is
be represented by legal-tender notes. There
are reasons why silver should not be coined
in advance of demand for coin. In the
final adjustment of the ratio of silver to
gold, the American ratio may not be
adopted. The Latin Union used to coin on
the basis of 15h to l, and the silver now in
the Bank of France represents that basis.
Mexico, on the other hand, makes her silver
dollar little heavier than ours, and in
South American countries there is variety
of standards. Possibly, in order to effect
bimetallism, it may be necessary to make
slight change in our ratio. If the silver in
the vaults is in the form of bullion, the
change will cause no inconvenience; if In
the form of 412h-grain silver dollars, all
dollars of that weight will have to be re-
coined. No one can predict with accuracy
what the future silver dollar will weigh
until the appreciation Of silver in market
value induces the Latin Union to resume
the coming Of silver on the old or new
ratio.

TIE BrHKING SEA CONTROVERSY.

So large a proportion of the news re-
speeding the seal controversy in Behring
Sea is guesswork by imaginative reporters
that the public do not know what to be-
lieve. Sir Julian Pauncefote has stated
that negotiations are pending between him
self and Mr. Blaine, but he does not state
whether a modus yiyendi has been reached.
Mr.. Blaine is enjoying cool sea-breezes at
Bar Harbor, from which il may be inferred
that he apprehends no immediate trouble.
In the meantime a fleet OF sealers have
sailed from Victoria for the sealing grounds
and couple Of United States revenue-cut-
tiers have departed for the same waters
under sealed orders. That is about all peo-
pie really know on the subject.
Under ordinary circumstances there
would not be the least danger Of rupture
