most directly interested are beginning to
become imbued with exeitement az in
August and September of last year. There
10 confident expectation in the minds Of
every sealing owner here that at some fu-
tuEe date everything they have lost and a!
must be made good to them. In fact %
strong is this hope of compensation and
full payment of claims that this year our
schooners have sailed out OF port with very
few Instructions as to what to do in the
event of being seized beyond the command
that their officers and men must look pleas
ant and get their balm out OF future set-
tlement.
All tales Of resistance and bloodshed. at
any rate in connection with Victoria, are
pure fallacies and without shadow Of foun-
dation. OF course, in cases Of this kind it
is difficult to say what may happen, and a
very small aggravation may be the cause Of
an explosion. Only in going to Behring
Sea this year, despite all sensational re-
ports, our sealers have gone to get skins
and with no intention, premeditated or
otherwise, of any friction or Of mourning
bloodshed. Several of our captains are
known to be hot-headed, fearless men, who
know as we'll and better than the best poli-
ticians the intrinsic merits of this quarrel,
and no doubt unless tact is used by the
American vessels in Behring Sea this year
there may be some hard work, and Blaine
will be forced to q solution Of the trouble
very hastily.
A report was current few days ago that
the Russian government was prepared to
stand by the United States in maintaining
it's claim to Behrinq Sea. Whether this is
true or false is of little consequence. The
support OF Russia cannot make an unsound
claim sound. II is, however, strange to see
American newspapers boastinQ Of Russia's
approval OF Q claim which when il was
made by Russia the Americans themselves
were first to protest against, and which Mr..
Adams, on behalf Of the United States, de-
clared to be untenable.

THE WOOL MARKET.
Quiet During the Past Two Weeks-Await-
ing Tariff Legislation.

Quiet During the Past Two Wseks-Await-
ing Tariff Legislation.
BosroN, July 8.-Walter Browns latest
wool circular says: Tho wool market has
become much more quiet during the past
two weeks than it was month ago, manu-
facturers who purchased during May sup
piled their immediate wants, and until the
new season on their goods is opened with
favorable orders, are disposed to be con-
servative in their wool operations. The
stocks Of raw material in the hands of con-
sumers is we'll known to be quite restrict
ed. and this fact has had strong infu-
ence in maintaining present values, which.
while somewhat easier than the extreme
views Of holders some weeks ago, do not
show any great change from previous quo
tations. A few lots of good stapled
fine territory wool have been picked
up at 6O@61 cents clean, but
the bulk of this class Offering is held on .
basis OF 61@63 cents per secured pound.
limited for this period Of the season, unu-
sually SO in fact and there being no great
accumulation has tended to sustain the
market.
The market reports of the woolen goods
business speak favorably of the present
COuulGlOu OI ullll pIOOUCGa. lu0 l6bo GUS
tom of confning operations to order busi-
ness has relieved manufacturer from any
great accumulation of goods, and if the
early sales of light weight fabrics, which
open this month, is as favorable as is antic-
ipated, the mills will resume activity with
an impetus that will add considerable
strength to the wool market
It is to be regretted that there should be
SO much delay in the tariff legislation. That
the present Mckinley bill will become a
law, without material changes, seems to be
a foregone conclusion, but the postpone
ment of its passage may deprive those
interested in wool and woolens Of whatever
benefit there may be, until another season
comes around. During this interim Of
waiting, orders for foreign goods are being
executed. to be hurried in before the change
and until these goods have gone into con-
sumption, our home manufacturers will
still be hampered by the same obstacles to
success that exist to-day. The loss to the
manufacturer in curtailing the production
of his product, is also the loss to the wool
grower in reducing the demand for his
wool.
At the same time. the conservative course
of the mills and clothiers, has kept the
stock of manufacturers on healthy basis,
and with the large general fall trade which
seems to be generally expected. the outlook
for wool in the late summer and fall is
more favorable than has been the case for
two years past.

IoNTANA. WEDNESDAY MORNING. JULY O. 1890.

oOul0 % OfouRnC 10 IN agreement ON the
two bills passed by them respectively. In
language of the 6rst section of the house
bill had been retained somewhat, but the
amount of silver to be purchased had been
increased, much to his regret. It had been
fixed at larger amount than the entire
American product Of silver. It had been
tary Of the treasury TO buy 100000 ounces
OF silver each month, which, at the rate of
$1.9 an ounce, or sixteen to one, would
amount to the yearly issue of about seventy
million in treasury notes. The legal tender
clause in the house bill, and in the senate
somewhat alike also, and the question had
come up in the conferences whether 1t would
be right to deprive the citizens Of the
United States OF the right to
or anything else. It had. therefore,
notes to be issued for silver, like the silver
dollar on which they were based, should be
legal tender for all debts, public and priv
ate, unless where otherwise stipulated in
the contract. That same clause was to be
found in the Bland bill.
stewart-"Does the senator from Ohio
think there is any danger of the secretary
of the treasury failing to buy four and q
half million ounces of silver per month il
he can get it at less than par, as provided
IN the ACT?
Sherman-"Not the slightest. The
senate cannot legislate ON the idea that an
officer of the government will not execute
the law. The suggestion has been made
about the president and secretary of the
treasury haunting the capitol on account of
this bill. have not seem either of them
and do not think a single member Of the
conference has seen either of them during
the conference. The president of the
United States will do what he thinks it his
duty to do under his obligation. As to his
seeking to influence me, or my seeking to in
t1uence him, that IL rather beyond the
bounds of reason"
At 3 O'Clock the conference report on the
silver bill went over till tomorrow, and
euloRies on the late Representative Cox, of
New York, were begun.
In the house the senate amendments were
concurred in to the house bill for the ad-
mission of the state of Wyoming. On mo-
tion of Mr.. Carey, of Wyoming, the senate
amendment was concurred in to the house
bill for the disposition Of abandoned mill
tary reservations in Wyoming. The speaker
laid before the house the senate bill to
adopt regulations for preventing collisions
at sea. The bill having been read Dingle,
of Maine, explained that the purpose of the
bill was the adoption of the regulations to
prevent collisions at sea, which had been
unanimously adopted by the International
Marine conference. The members of the
conference we're of opinion that the signals
provided in the bill would prove more
effective than any other that could be de-
vised. The previous question was then or
dered and the bill was passed.

Mr. Toy pressed the resolution with a

on the occasion Of his last visit to the
Capitol:
With his characteristic modosty. he
kept out of the chamber and sat In one
of the cloak rooms, where almost every
Senator visited him. He sat with the
accustomed cigar and talked freely on
every question introduced. He said that
on his way to the Capitol a clergyman
came to him, asking him to sign a memo
rial asking that every man who had ever
been prisoner of war should be pen
stoned He told the clergyman that he
ought to be in better business; that there
were all kinds Of prisoners-som who let
themselves be caught easily, some who had
stomach ache or a sore toe when battle
was in the air, and who were caught by a
squad Of rebel cavalry, and some who
were caught ahead Of the skirmish line
Some OF them had good rest and were
all the better for being prisoners. Il will
