The Webster's Dictionary offered by the
COLUMBIAN with years subscription, and
three months subscription to the New
York Weekly World for $3.50, is furnished
by the World. We have received many
letters of inquiry, and in answer would
say, that that the book is the edition OF
ls47. The type is small but legible, and
the book is substantially bound. 1t Is
nearly as large as the present edition. For
general use it IS a big bargain for the mon
ey, but we would not recommend 1t Tor
school,, as II is not the latest edition.

A Democratic Caucus to Be

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Prof. II. R.
Elliott, of the Smithsonian institute, will
present a report to congress ON its reas-
sembling on the seal fur industry. In
his report Prof. Elliott, it is understood,
will recommend that the catch of fur
seals at the American rOokeries be sus-
pended for period of seven years.
This period of inactivity he considers
absolutely necessary for the preserva-
ton OF the seals from utter annihlla-
ton. AT the present time he estimates
that there are only 100000 seal in Amer
lean waters. The continued depreda-
tions upon them by pirates and other
wise has reduced the number so much
that hardly sufficient number remain
for breeding purposes. The utmost care
he considers necessary to preserve the
few that remain, or else the magnifi-
cent industry which was purchased
from Russia with the Alaskan cession,
will become extinct. 1t was ON account
OF Frof. Elliott's knowledge of the fur
seal industry that he was especially des-
ignated by congress to visit Alaska and
make a report on the subject. The
agents of the fur seal companies who
enjoyed the privileges about the islands
of st. George and ST. Paul made repre-
sentatlOns that there were 100000 seal
in the American rookeries. Other re-
ports placed the number at 100000. and
still others at lesser number. All these
reports are conflicting, and, made by
parties more or less interested. induced
congress to send Prof. Elliott to Alaskan
waters, and his report that not over l00,-
000 seal have survived the war of exter-
mination will, it is believed. call halt
in their destruction, and his recon-
mendation that the catch be suspended
for seven years will doubtless be ac-
quieSced in by congress.

WORLDS FAIR DATA.
The Administration Takes q Hand
in II

CHICAGO. Nov. 36.-The worlds fair
national commission this evening ad-
journed until next April.
One thing only now remains before
President Harrison issues his proclama-
ton to the world fixing date for the
opening and closing of the exposition
formal notification from the local di-
rectOry that the worlds fair corpora
tion has at command funds to the
amount of $10,000,000. This notification
from the directory to the president is
expected to be promptly made. The
commission this morning took up the
report OF the committee on buildings
and grounds. This precipitated
rather acrimonious interchange be-
tween Commissioner Martindale, of In
diana, who was in favor of adopting the
report, and Commissioner de Young, of
California, who was opposed to it. The
latter pointed out that the plans of the
buildings were merely in verbal out
line without working plans, and de-
clared that loop hole was left
through which the local directory
might come out with lot of
mere shells. He moved that the build
ings be made of glass, steel and iron.
and fireproof. After some discussion
the motion was laid On the table, it
being pointed out by Mr.. Martindale
that there had not been time since the
selection of the site to prepare working
plans for such an array of structures.
The report of the committee on build
ineS and grounds was finally adopted.
Chairman Waller, of Connecticut. of
the worlds fair foreign affairs commit
tee, this morning. after consulting with
his colleagues, sent telegram to Sec
retary of State Blaine in reply to one
received from Mr.. Blaine last night.
Mr.. Blalne's telegram said that, in view
of the criticism by some of the commits
sioners that the state department was
seeking for political advantage in the
scheme for securing worlds fair eXhib-
It's from the Latin-American republics,
that department would withdraw from
participation in the work, and await the
action of the commission. Gov. Walters
telegram is as follows:
Chicago, Nov. 26.-In reply to your tele-
gram OF yesterday, Withdrawing the offer of
the state department in aid of foreign ex-
hlbltors because of the misinterpreted action
OF the Worlds Columbian commission on the
report OF the commission OH foreign affairs
OF that body regarding plans for securing eX-
h1bits from the Spanish-Americau republics,
beg 10 assure you that neither the commit
tee nor the commission considered the move
ment in any sense political one. Some peo-
pie can discover politics in the Lords Prayer,
but if there are any of this class in the COM
mission. they are, fortunately. neither num-
erous nor Influential Tine report of the COM
mittee was UNANIMOUSLY accepted and re-
1erreQ TO an appropriate department. Yours

IN BAD SHAPE.
Oregon Improvement Directors
Admit the Fact.


New YORK, Nov. 26.-The directors
of the Oregon Improvement company
has issued circular to the stockholders
showing why the company is in an en-
barrassed condition. The causes men,
toned are the fire at Seattle, June. 1899;
depression following the real estate eX-
element in the West, and consequent
falling off of earnings of the Southern
California route: the decrease in coal
business on account of fires in mines
and labor troubles and the loss of it's
coal contract with the Oregon Railway
and Navigation company. Among the
improvements made were: Thirty-tiye
miles OF railroad and ten miles OF
grade on the Port Townsend Southern
railway; thirty miles of line and six
miles of grade, Seattle & Northern rail
road and the purchase of six steamers.
with an outlay of S2,130,000. The prop
erty of the company is valued at s4.416,-
900. 1t is thought that the newly ac-
Quired property will pay 6 per cent on
the cost. 1t is believed that the COM
pany's net earnings next year will sbe
$900,000. An issue of consolidated mort
gage bonds was authorized to provide
for the construction expenses and the
retirement of preferred stock. This
exchange has been partially successful.
There is now floating debt of $1,000
900. Short time and demand loans and
the tightening of the money market has
made it impossible to raise money to
pay this, and it is found impossible to
provide for the interest and sinking
fund payment OF S175,O00 due Dec. /,
1890, OH first mortgage bonds. In order
to prevent attachments on the property
in Oregon it was thought best to tempo
rarily place the property in the hands
of receiver. The regular annual re-
port will be issued Nov. 80.
