Newspaper Comments on the Political strug-
gle in Canada.
LONDON, Feb. 10.-The Times says: II is
impossible TO fee! entire sympathy with the
other side in the Canadian struggle. We
are prepared to recognize that strong,
practical Inducement is offered the Cana
dams in a commercial union with America,
but other interests come into play on both
sides. The American farmers are anxious
to invite the competition of the already vast
aud with almost boundlsss possib bilities of
deYelODmentof Canadian agriculture in their
home markets. Moreover, if political alb
sGrbtiOn followed a commercial union, as
we believe it would, the working of Ameri-
cas- constitutional system would be sub
jected to a severe strain by the difficulty of
dealing with the stubborn French Cana
dian element and high Roman Catholic
claims represented by Archbishop O'Brien.
The Chronicle says: The fact that Blaine
treats Canadas advance with hauteur
causes surprise to England, but is easily
explained when once we grasp the fact that
Blaine is maturing a great scheme of policy
wherein Canadian reciprocity forms rather
trivial element.
Commenting on Sir Johns manifesto, the
News declares the theory of an imperial
zolliverein fallaclous and that the plan will
never work.

GENERAL ". T. SHERMAN.
The Old Hero Lying Dangerously Ill With
ErySipelaS.

New YORK, Feb. 10.-The condition of
General Sherman, who has been suffering
from erysipelas, is SO much improved that
the physicians have pronounced him out Of
danger, but say it will be at least month
before the patient can leave the house.
A notice posted on the door of General
Sherman's house tonight says, THE Door
bell Must Not Be Rung." An attendant was
kept at the door to answer Immediately the
knock OF any caller. Drs. Janeway and
Alexander were in the house to stay all
night. Notwithstanding all this the at
tendant at the door said the General was a
little better than the day before.
Later General Sherman's daughter was
seen and asked the truth. She said
'His condition tonight is very serious, but
not hopeless. The doctors do not look for
any change until tomorrow evening, at the
earliest. Erysipelas has set in and father
is suffering great deal of pain"

EXPERIMENTING The SEALS.
Reports Of Special Agents on the Depletion
Of The ROOkefl8S.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-In answer to the
Senate resolution the Acting Secretary of
the Treasury to-day sent to the Senate re-
ports and statements from Treasury Agents
Goff, Lavender, Nettleton and Murray and
Superintendent Tingle of the American
Commercial Company, giving the number
Of seals taken for various purposes. the con-
dition Of the native population of the seal
Islands, and other items Of importance. In
his report made in October, 1890, Agent Law
ender says there were no sealing schooners
about the islands, and that the rookeries
would be empty for the season in two weeks.
He appeals for arms and ammunition for
the Indians to use in protecting the rook-
cries. He speaks of the necessity for isSu-
ing supplies and fuel 10 the natives, and
predicts that the Islands will be depopulated
in few years unless the Government aids
the natives, as the seals they will be able to
kill will not keep them from suffering He
says the schooners follow the seal into
Benring Sea very early in the sprng.l
In his report, which was made earlier,
Agent Nettleton referred to the deplorable
condition of the seal grounds at st. Paul,
and said the driving and redriving from all
landing grounds by the lessees during the
season, in their efforts to obtain their quota,
and the meager results attained, tell in
strong language the sad story of the very
near approach of the entire destruction of
seal life upon the island.
Agent Goff also speaks at length of the
diminutiOn of the seal catch and says there
are many preylng evils upon seal life. The
killing of seals at sea and III passes by
pirates and the indiscrimlGate slaughter
upon the Islands, have reduced the roOkeries
to their present impoverished condition.
He recommends absolute protection and
says: " There should be no killing of seals
for their skins ON the Islands nor in the
waters of the Behring Sea for an indefinite
tary Of the Treasury" lie says the means
Of subsistence Of the natives are totally de-
stroyed and their future is only what the
charity Of the Government Will make it, as
there is utterly nothing there upon which
they can depend for a livelihood unit
the much wished-for return of the seals
The place and event are too far in the
future to give even promise of better times
to these unfortunate pennle.

HARRIsBURG Pa.). Feb. 1O.-A local
paper published to-day story that there is
likely to be found deficiency of $4,000 in
the Adjutant-GeneraPs office, and the Gov
ernor will investigate. Adjutaut- General
McClelland said tonight: This office is in
no manner responsible for such reports. As
to unpaid bills the amount Of them cannot
yet be determined There is nothing that
in apy way reflects upon General Hastings,
ex-Adjutant-Ge General. The latter gentleman
will make II statement soon.'
Tonight it is stated by member of the
Legislature that the story is probably based
on fact that there will be necessity for De-
ficieney Bill to meet the requirements CT the
militia. The extensive improvements, etc.,
caused a large increase in expenses, which
was met by paying bills out of the coming
years appropriations. This practice will
probably be stopped.
Ex-Adjutant-General Hastings will to-
morrow print lengthy statement regard
ing his management of affairs of the office
during his iDcumbency. He empha:ically
denies that there is any shortage and says,

RuSSia'S BarbariC Treatment Of
Jews.
The Truth Not Half Told Regarding the
Dreadful Prosecutions.
The Lines Drawn More Tightly Than Eyer
Since the Gulldhall Petition Vas
Returned.


LONDON, Feb. 1O.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Telegraph writes at
length Of the persecution of Jews, which, he
says, has been, if anything, more marked
since the petition from Guildhall. London,
WAS returned without comment by the Gar
Russia's reply to the respectful petition con-
siSts of secret circulars ordering officials to
vigorously administer the anti-Semtic laws
and supply legal deficiencies by their own
decisions. The correspondent says the
Poles, after the rebellion of 1915 were less
inhumanly treated than the Jews are to-
day. The Jews, through the wretched life
they are forced to live, are physically degen-
crate, and are becoming the most stirling
embodiment of human life continuing in
spite of the gradual decay of the vital func-
tions.
General Gourko, the Governor of War
saw, with a full knowledge of this, issues
the most stringent regulations as to the ex-
animation of young Jews for military re-
cruits, harassing those found to be physi-
cally unable to bear arms by repeated cruel
examinations. dragging them several times
year from llelr homes 10 Tie examining Z
stations, many miles away, they being com
PEELED to 20 on foot chained with convict
gang.
A strange anomaly is the conduct OF
Prince Doigourotf, the Governor of Moscow,
who has been obliged many times to turn 10
wealthy Jews FOX monetary assistance and
is now indebted to them. In his district the
Jews are treated with marked leniency.
Referring 10 the report that the Gar does
not know of the enormiteS perpe'rated in
his name, the correspondent says thu truth
is the Gar knows enough to convince him
that the Jews are more cruelty treated shan
horses, cattle or swine, which are cared for
as the gifts of God. A number of eminent
Russian literary men recently addressed a
declaration to the public and journalists
asking them to remember that Jews were
human beings.
LONDON, Feb. 1O-The Daily Telegraph
to-day expresses the opinion that TIE action
of the Gar in returning the Guild Hail
memorial in favor Of the Russian Jews IS
the most severe rebuff any Lord Mayor Of
London ever received. The Telegraph
adds: The painful effect of its return is
fOrcibly reflected upon Englishmen.

Fraudulent Methods Of Certain Pension Agents
to Secure Business.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l0.-Assistant Secre-
tary Bussey has written letter to the COM
missioner OF Pensions again calling his at
tenton to the questionable methods en-
ployed by class of pension attorneys to
procure business for themselves Reference
is made to that particular class in which the
pensioner receives the highest pension OBJ
tainable under the law. and yet is promised
an increase and deceived into filing another
application. 1t is the judgment OF the de-
partment that these disreputable methods
should not be permitted among the attorneys
who are to practice before it, it being eyi-
dent that these attorneys take advantage of
and are guided by published lists of the
names of persons allowed pensions. The
Assistant Secretary suggests that hereafter
the Postotfice address of pensioners be not
given TO the press and the clerks be prohib-
tied from disclosing to any one the name or
address Of auy pensioner or applicant for a

ONE SHOT TOLD.
policeman Cayanaugh Shoots and
Kills John May.
Suspicious Movements of Three Men and
Their Flight Lead to the
Homicide.

Police Officer James B. Cavanaugh this
morning at about - 80 o'clock shot and
killed John May, who, up to a week ago
last Monday, had been employed in the
National Brewery.
The shooting occurred at the corner OF
Buchanan and Fulton streets. May was
shot in the back, and fell in the street out
side Of a grocery-store. He was carried
into the latter place and medical assistance
was summoned, but May died about twenty
minutes after the bullet had entered his
body.
May was a native of Germany and about
35 years of age. He was married and had
two children. living with his family on Grove
street, between Webster and Buchanan.
After the death of the brewery workman
the facts of the case were telephoned to the
Central Station, and Captain Douglass
ordered that Officer Cavanaugh be escorted
at once to the old City Hall.
Cavanaugh, who is but 27 years of age,
has been on the police force for few
months only, having been appoi inted in
November last. During his short term Of
will OF his superiors and this morning Cap,
tain Douglass said his subordinate had
gained the reputation of bang an efficient
and cautious officer.
After making statement of the shooting
to Captain Douglass, Cavanaugh was inter-
viewed by The CALL reporter.
He said: "When left the New City Hall
Ctatip ,tr.I,S
the cars as far as Buchanan
street and walked toward Fulton.
Between Fulton and Grove on Buchanan
street 1 saw three men come out
of doorway that stood some
distance back from the sidewalk.
They saw me, and knew was an officer. for
my star was in full view. They separated,
one going nortbward and the two others in
the opposite direction. Their movements
seemed suspicious, and 1 determined to in-
speot the doorway they had just left.
:" 1 did not find any thing wrong, but con-
cluded to follow the two men. covered
my star again aud went on the opposite side
of the street. They stood in tie shadow on
Buchanan, between Fulton and McAllis-
ter, and one whistled as if signaling TO q
third party.
II resolved to see what they were about
and crossed the street toward them, uncOv-
ering my star. AS 1 did they separated.
"The men kept glancing back at me over
their shoulders and 1 cried, What are you
fellows doing here?' No reply was given,
and both men began to run. 1 followed the
man going toward McAllister street, and
then changing my mind started after the
one going to Fulton street.
HE was about 100 feet ahead and 1 called
out Hold up or I'll fire. He continued to
run and warned him again, but he did not
STOP L then fired my revolver twice. but
did not intend to hit him. l Thought the
shots would frighten him. He fell after the
second shot"
Cavanaugh related his story coolly and in
straightforward manner. He expressed
sorrow at the death of May.
The police officer, who will probably be
charged with murder to-day. is a married
man and resides at the corner of Sixteenth
and Valencia streets. He is detained at the
City Prison.
The body of May was taken to the Morgne.
