SMALL RESULTS.

Eastern free-tTade papers are taking con-
siderable satisfaction over the reported COM
mercial union between Germany, Austria
and other nations Of Central Europe. One Of
these opponents Of American industries says:
While Mr.. Mckinley and bis allies are making
war upon European manufactured articles and
increasing Tie cost TO the American farmer OF
them and the domestic competing articles, the
injured European intends TO also aim bis blow
at our agriculturists.
The resolution of these Central European
nations to trade with each other will not
add to the amount Of farmers products
produced. By entering into a commercial
union Germany will take Austrian wheat
free of duty, but it does not follow that the
supply of Austrian wheat will thereby be
increased. New trade channels may be
created or old ones enlarged by such ar
rangemenis among nations, but the worlds
production of a staple like wheat will not
be greatly affected. The American farmer
Will get better prices for his wheat this
year than last, and only in one or two ex-
ceptional cases viii lie have to pay more
for manufactured articles.

develop into a territorial empire, nor did it
occur to him that Congress had no power to
delegate its sovereignty over an inhabited
Territory TO a private corporation.
Mistakes Of this nature are difficult of re-
pair. There was a chance TO mend matters
when the lease of 1870 expired last year. If
the Government had then resumed full con-
troll of Alaska and organized territorial
Government, with a tull set of officials,
placing the seal industry under the charge
of an agent Of the Treasury Department
and the Indians under the control of the
Secretary of the Interior, affairs would be
less complicated now. Another view pre-
vailed. The Alaska Commercial Company
was sUcc6 eded by new corporation of the
same nature and with the same objects, and
the consequence is general dissatisfaction
and a loose administration Of justice
throughout the Territory. and the prospect
of litigation at Washington which may cost
the Treasury considerable money before it

CoyERNMENT SUED FOR A MILLION.

The North American Commercial Com
rany, whose headquarters are in this city,
las filed in the Treasury Department
claim against the United States for 81, OOO,-
Geo for damages arising out Of the failure of
tie Government to carry out the provisions
OF the lease Of the islands Of st. Paul and
ST George. Under the provisions Of that
lease the Government WAS to designate each
year the number Of seals which the COM
pany was to take. In the spring of 1890 the
humber was fixed at $4,000, but on July 10th,
in consequence Of information received at
the department. the Treasury modified its
order and stopped the killing when the COM
pany had only secured some 10000 skins.
On April 18Th last the number to be taken
this year was again fixed at 60, 900, but a few
weeks afterward a joint agreement was
made with Great Britain by which the num-
Der was reduced to 1900. The com pany
claims that these changes Of policy by the
Government inflicted losses on its stock
holders amounting in the aggregate TO
100000 OF thereabouts.
The controversy Will in due course find
its way into the Court of Claims and will be
decided some day, perhaps in the lifetime
Of the North American Company's stock
eminent was miSled as to the facts when it
modified its spring orders; that the number
Of 10000 two-year-old seals might have been
taken in 1890 and might be taken in 1891
without running any risk of exterminaling
tie fur seal They will have an opportunity
Of proving this allegation, and If they sue
. ceed the Treasury Department will have TO
show that it had good reasons for its action
~ tho guif for a..
Government.
In the meantime the condition of the fur
market is mixed. Sealskins have gone up
10 prices which place that fur beyond the
reach Of ordinary persons. Their place will
Lave to be taken by some form Of plush.
That perhaps, is not an intoerabIe calam-
lty. But the case Of the Indians is more
serious. One Of the conditions of the lease
Of the fur seal islands is that the lessees
shall act as guardians Of the thirty odd thou
sand INDIANS in Alaska, and, at any rate,
iced, clothe and educate them. But if the
Government does not keep its bargain with
tAe.company the latter may refuse to keep
It's bargain with the Government and the
Indians may suffer.
The mistake out Of which complications
have grown was in making the lease of 1870
10 a private corporation. AT that time the
controlling idea Of the Government was TO
get back the money it had paid to Russia
fCr Alaska, and when a company came for
ward and offered to pay back that money
with interest in return for the exclusive
right OF taking fur seals in the Alaska rock
cries President Grant accepted the offer
with alacrity. He did not foresee that the
monopoly granted would in course of time

ON JULY FIRST.

The New York Tribune says that the CON-
mercial treaties already negotiated will be
put in operation on the LIST of July. The
convention recently held simply agreed
upon the concession that should be made
to insure certain products OF the nation
making it free admission into the United
States. As the United States parties to the
convention were simply exercising discre-
tionary power placed in their hands by Con-
gress, no further action on the part of the
law-making power is necessary. 1t is in this
respect that the agreements with Spain,
Brazil and other countries differ from ordi-
nary commercial treaties, which have to 60
to the Senate for ratification, and to the
House for money to set them going.

How a Woman Avoided Paying Fare for
Her Boy.
How old is that boy, madame?" asked a
street-car conductor of woman who had
not offered to pay fare for a big fat youth
who locked as though he would soon need a
shaving outfit.
" How old is he ?" snapped out the wo-
man, in a sharp and offended tone. - He's
old enough to tend to his own bizness, any
how. and that's what some folks on this car

She went on like that for ten blocks, with
out paying the boys fare, and then, while
the poor, dazed conductor was staring Mt

PICKING FRUIT.

Several articles have appeared in the local
columns of TIE CALL suggesting an Organi-
cation designed TO bring work and workers
together. In the interior Of the State, fruit
is going TO waste for lack of somebody to
lick it, and in this and other cities there are
hundreds Of idle hands. All over the State
there are people living in tents for the pleas
ire and physical benefit of an outing, who
are subject to all the inconvenience which
fruit-pickrrs would have to encounter A
month ia a tent would cost about $50 for
each person, and fruit-picker living in the
same manner would make about $50
month over expenses. It is not proposed,
cf course, that people who can afford to idle
away a month or more in tho country shall
occupy themselves with fruit-picking, but
Tie suggestion is made that if one person is
willing to pay $50 for a month Of tent life,
another should not regard tent life as an
obstacle in the way Of earning money. There
