THE SEALING DISPUTE.
An Opinion That POaChins Is Fast Ex:er-
minating the Seals.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-The European edition
of the Herald publishes an interview held
at Cannes with Herman Liebes on the
Behring Sea question. He approves
Blaine's course and asserts that the
seals are being hunted to death and
will be exterminated unless prompt
measures are taken. England will then
suffer, as 5000 persons in London live by
preparing skins. The pOachers with whom
England sides are not English crews on
Canadian sealerS, but are American sea-
men. Last year fiftv-one vessels were en-
gagged in p0aching. Next season if England
gives her protection $50 ships will be in the
business. This means destruction to seals.
Llebes, Mills and 'Tevis pay the Government
S11 for every seal they kill and supply the
inhabitants of the leased islands with medi-
cal attention, fuel and schools The in
habtants are Indians from Alaska, num-
berlng 400, and but for the sealing they
would Starve. Liebes says that his firm
would be willing to abstain frcm killing seals
for five or six years in order to give the
animals chance, provided others were
forbidden. He also gives as reason that
seals are being exterminated that those
that are killed are mostly females with
young. Out of $1,000 skins brought to Lou
don this season by pOachers 90 per cent be-
longed to females LieDes does not believe
there is any danger of war in the matter, as
it is too small for England to fight alb out.
In the Commons to-day Ferguson,
Under Secretary of the Foreign Office,
in reply to n question upon the sub
ject said the Behring Sea correspondence
was taking the ordinary diplomatic course
unaffected by the application made in the
United States Supreme Court. This appl-
cation, added Ferguson, was made at the
instance of Canada and upon the advice of
American lawyers.
The Marquis of Salisbury is about to send
Minister Pa9ncefote series Of proposals
for settling the Behring Sea difficulty. He
desires to allow the controverted questions
to lapse. and suggests certain plans, the
chief element of which deals more with the
industrial than the political aspect of the
case.
OTTAWA. Jan. 23.-The Fisheries Depart
ment has been notified that the Canadian
sealing fleet operating in Behring Sea will
be augmented by nine vessels, six of which
are now building at Vancouver. Three
Nova Scotia schooners are on their way
around Cape Horn.

EXPERIMENTS With LYMPH.
An Injection Made Directly Into a Dis
GdSed Lung.

BERLIN, Jan. 23.-At the Charity Hos
pital Professor Sonneberg exhibited a con-
suInptiye patient who had been cut open in
order that Koch's lymph might be injected
in a cavity in the diseased lung The pro-
fessOr said the patient, who is in an ad-
vanced stage of the disease, has been max
ing rapid progress toward recovery since
the operation was performed.

lin for the Koch treatment, and who re-
He himself does not believe the lymph ma
terally helped him. He had splendid treat
nIent, being a irst-casS patient. He re-
ceiYed the first injection of one milIigramme
the second day. This was followed by Sc
we're pain round the heart and afterward in
the back, but this passed away altogether,
and after short period after the first mi lection
he was given two TO three milligrammes
nearly every day. Sometimes there would
be lever and sometimes not On one occa-
sion when he had hemorThage from the
lungs the treatment was stopped. Much
interest was taken in his case aud he was
constantly brought into the lecture-room by
physicians for the inspection of the stude nts
and doctors. His case was regarded as n
bad one, and believing he could get no help
he returned to America. He declares In all
the time he was in Berlin he never heard of
single cure from the treatment. He has
no faith in the lymph and says it only
helped his throat Before going away he
had two ulcers there and they have disap-
peared. He will continue the treatment
here, however, as a dying chance"

SILVER FOR CAMERON.
A Large Amount Bousht for the PenISyl-
Yania Senator.

| WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-David 7. Littler
| OF Illinois, who was mentioned as the agent
OF Senator Cameron IN the purchase of sill
yer bullion, appeared before the Silver Pool
| Investigating Committee to-day. After re-
latlng how he had bought and sold between
| $4,000 and $4,000 worth of silver early in
the summer, before any legislation on the
matter was had, Littler was asked if he had
purchased any for Senator Cameron. He
| replied; Yes; bought small amount of
silver for Cameron. | do not remember the
exact amount-abOut 100000 worth. That
was some two or three weeks after | made
the purchase on my own account and il was
pending the silver legislation. 1t was be-
fore Congress had legislated on it. | do not
remember the exact date, but it was before
final action"
Did you buy for any other Senator, Rep
resentative or Government ofliciai?"
did not offer TO do so. l want to state
about Cameron. He met me one day |
had been talking with divers members.
Senators and others. / did not seek to dis
suise the fact that had bought some
silver feeling that | had a right to do It,
and gave 1t as my opinion when asked that
silver was purchase and that there was
money IN It, Cameron knew | had pur-
chased some, and when lie met me Cne iav
he SAID: l want you to buy some silver for
me- thlnK heopened the subject, although
Ill.
Littler said he bought $4,000 or s5oooo
worth OF silver for him SELF ana n few
weeks later 100000 worth for senator
Cameron. Both transactions were prior to
the final action on the silver legIslatio n.
Littler said he wished to characterize in
unequivocal terms the general statement
that lie had been connected with silver
pool looking to the influencing of legislation
as an unqualified lie. When asked about
the reputation of Owenby, who has been
mentioned in connection with the alleged
silver pool, he said Owenby seemed to be
clever fellow; but he would think better of
him when lie got back the money he had
loaned OwenDy. Littler said he had no
knowledge Of any silver pool. He had
never asked any one in Congress to
vote for silver legislation, and he
went into the speculation without the
solicitation of any one. AS near as lie
could remember he made less than $500 and
more than 5000 in the transaction. Cam
eron made between $1,000 and $500 No
Representative, Senator or other Govern
ment officer ever told witness that he was
interested in silver.
Tie attention of the witness being d-
rected to the testimony of Vest, he said lie
had talked with Vest exactly as with Cam
eTon and others. Being asked for the
names of the others, witness could not re-
member them, and turning toward Repre-
sentative Rowell said: "PeThaps with
Captain Rowell, as well as with Illinois
friends" lie aid not mean that he recalled
talklng with Rnwel, ana used his name
only because that was as likely as talking
witE any one. Littler further said he never
offered any one any inducements whatever,
except to express the opinion that there
would be an advance IN silver.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Judge Keatley
Oh Alaska Will tomorrow make a written
statement to the House Territories Commit
tee disaprovng the scheme to provide a
temporary government for the Territory of
Alaska. In his statement he urges the ne
cessty of some relief being given to this de-
pendency, and suggests that small vessels
be provided such as proposed in the Senate
bill On this subject; that provision be made
Tor the acquisition of town and village sites :;
that the organic act be amended so as to
authorize the Governor to appoint Justices
OF the Peace and constables at important
cannery locations and mining locations, and
that provision be made authorizing the Gov
ernor to absent himself from Alaska during
portion Of each session of Congress, so as
TO enable him to visit Washington during
that period to present such of the districts
interests as would aid Congress in deyising
legislation, his legitimate expenses to be
paid out OF the Federal Treasury.
The Governor aas no other duties than to
visit Seal Islands, to make an annual report to
the Secretary OF the Interior, and to suspend
sentence in criminal cases. The natives
greatly outnumber the whites and this is the

Debate on the Cloture Rule Occupies the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-When the Sem
ate, after recess, met at IL O'Clock this MORN
ing it found itself without quorum and
patiently awaited the appearance of one.
This session is a continuation of that of yes
terday. AT 11:10 O'clock a quorum ap
peared and business was proceeded with.
Cockrell thereupon resumed the floor in
order to continue his argument against the
clOture resolution. He yielded, however. tn
Hoar, who added few words TO what he
had said last evening.
Cockreil resumed his argument, saving in
the course of his remarks that the Demo-
cratic Senator'S would be as brief as possi-
Bile in discussing matters of public necessity,
but if the Republican Senators insisted on
the Elections Bill, merely partisan meas
ure, which was not indOrsed by half their
own party, the Democratic Senators would
discuss il in all its qualifications.
Teller asked Aldrich how long he allowed
debate on the resolution, remarking that /
was rumored that some arbitrary means
were to be resorted to to force decision.
Aldrich said he took it for granted that
there could be no closing of debate except
by action of the Senate itself, and asked
unanimous consent that vote be taken on
the resolution aud amendments at o'clock
tomorrow.
German was delighted that the Senator
resorted to that proper and orderly method
rather than depend on the ipse dixit of the
presiding officer, whose reputation for in
tellieence and fairness as presiding officer
was yet To be made.
Cockrell then closed his argument 1t was
useless, he said, to try to disguise the pur
pose of the rule. The only object was to
pass the force bill. Everything else was
made subordinate to the whims of the SEN

UNDECIDED STRIKERS.
Thdy Are Assured That Labor Union Men
Will Not b Discharged.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Chief Clark of the
Order of Railway Conductors and commit
tee of strikers from Huntington, Ind, were
in conference to-day with the officials of
the Chicago and Erie road. No conclusion
has yet been reached, but the prospects are
that the strike will be settled to-day or to-
morrow.
1t is said General Manager Tucker made
proposition to members of the committee
and they Immediately took the train for
Huntington.
Up to late hour last night General Man.
ager Tucker was still anxiously awaiting
developments regarding the action of the
committee which waited upon him this
morning. He said their conference was sat-
isfactory and that they had agreed to waive
their demand for the reinstatement of Scott.
The men had gathered the idea that all
members of labor unions we're to be dis
charged, but Tucker assured them that such
was not the case and they went back to
Huntington to hold a conference, which is
still in session.
A dispatch from Huntington tonight says
the employees of nearly every department of
the system sympathze with the strikers and
have formed federation to uphold them.
The result of the conference will probably
not be known until tomorrow.
