has decided to purchase outright the organ
Of the Order of Railway Telegraphers.
Il is now stated that the railway tele-
graphers and the brotherhood have struck
snag in their negotiations looking to
amalgamation. The hitch, it is said, was
caused by the clause in the bylaw Of the
railway people which provides that an
operator must have done railroad telegraph
ing three years before he can become
member.
The brotherhood people are sticking out
Tor one year qualification. They say
three year limit would bar out fully 30 per
conference between the two associations Is
bring held today
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: A. d. Thurston,
of Vinton, Iowa, grand chief telegrapher;
S. o, Fox, Of Vinton, grand secretary and
treasurer; G. D. Ramsey, of East st. Louis,
assistant grand chief telegrapher; Senior
LIE Canda of Mexico, grand senior teleg-
rapher.
This morning the judiciary committees Of
the Order of Railroad Telegraphers and the
officers of the Brotherhood of Telegraphers
met. The judiciary committees reported
that the grand division refused to reduce
the tins of eligibility clause Of their law.
whereupon the brotherhood officers called
all the negotiations OF.
The Order of Railway Telegraphers will
apply for membership to the Federation Of
Railway Employees. 1t is said assurance
has been given the brotherhood people by
the members of the council that neither or
ganization will be admitted until amalga-
nation is reached.

prevailing in financial circles here to-day
as to difficulties between Murietta, head of
the banking house Of Murietta Il Co., re-
Gently transformed into the Limited Liza
bility company, and the trustees and exec
utors of the new corporation, owing to the
discovery that the liabilities of Murietta 81
Co. exceed the liabilities represented TO the
trustees and executors of the corporation.
1t is also said fresh liabilities have been
incurred since the formation Of the Limited
Liability company which required the
further subscription of nearly SIZE, 900 in
order to avoid calamity. The latter money
is necessary for the immediate requirements
of the company, and was raised among the
stockholders. thus affording the concern
temporary relief.

HUNTING GOLD BUGS
Senator Stewart Anxious to De-
bate the Silver Question.
He Wants to Meet a Leading Finaneier and
Discuss the Question in New York
The Issue In the Next Congress.

lSpecialto THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
NEW YORK, June Ex-senator William
NJ. Stewart, of Nevada is extremely anx
ious to enter the arena with some distin-
guished advocate of the gold standard.
Senator Stewart is probably the best
known and most distinguished advocate IN
favor of the free coinage of silver in the
United States. He desires that the arena
for discussion of this great question shall
be New York, and that his opponent shall
be leading financier. Almost ever since
the adjournment Of Congress, Senator
Stewart has spent his time in New York.
He has bearded the lion in his den, as it
were, and has entered the counting rooms
of this great financial centre and discussed
the silver question with our monometalists
He has told them that free coinage is bound
to come, and that they may as well make
up their minds to 1t. He claims that If the
people were familiar with the subject the
great majority OF them would hold views
similar TO those prevailing in the south and
west. He declares that the newspapers of
the east have refused to recognize the i'm
portance of this great subject, which he
claims to be the foremost public question
now before the people of this country, and
one that will determine the result of the
next presidential election. 1t is
generally conceded the silver question
will be the most important one that will
receive the consideration of the next Con-
gress. The opinion has been advanced
that at least two-thirGs OF the lower house
of Congress will vote for a bill authorizing
the free and unlimited coinage OF silver.
IL is also claimed there IS a decided
majority in the Senate in favor of this
measure SO that such a bill will undoubted
ly pass Congress. Tha; the President will
veto the bill. should it reach his hands,
seems TO be taksn for granted by both OPP
ponents and supporters of IT. In the House
an effort would then be made to pass it
over tue executive veto. Senator Stewart
believes that when the time comes 1T will
be shown that the senate will pass the bill
in the face of the veto. In few days
Stewart will write an article for the
Erening Telegram on the silver question for
the purpose of provoking discussion with
some gold bug" If the article be
answered the sage brush Senator will reply
and the discussion will DE kept up until the
gold man IS fioOred.

a Protest. from the Seal Comnsnies.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The North Amer
lean Commercial company, through its at
torney, Judge Jeffries, has filed a pro-
test with the treasury department 1t
states that it was assured quota of 90, 600
seal SKINS during 1890, and upon the assur-
ance made large outlay. 1t was compelled
to cease taking seals July 20 last, when the
season had not expired, and only one-third
of the net quota of skins was obtained.
On this account the company sustained a
loss of 500, 200. II again submits formal
protest against the action Of the United
States in once more preventing 1t from
taking its full quota of seals. It gives
notice to the secretary Of the treasury it
will claim to be reimbursed by the United
States to the full amount of the loss it may
sustain by reason of its being prohibited
from taking its full quota this year.
The company further represents that in
providing for the maintenance and educa-
ton of the inhabitants Of the islands of ST.
Paul and st. George, it has expended $780,
900, for which it has not been reimbursed.
The company invites the attention of the
secretary Of the treasury that the islands
of ST. Paul and St. George are In undis-
puted possession of the United States; that
the right of this government to dis
pose of the fur seals born on
said islands has never been questioned.
This being so, the company assumes
that the right of the United States or its
lessee to take fur seals on said islands with
in Its jurisdiction is beyond dispute and
not subject to interference by any foreign
state. The right of this government to
take fur seals in its own territory is not
Y
filtration. In that dispute Great
Britain affirms and the United States
denies the right of English and Canadian
poachers to slaughter fur seals in ''our
part" of Behring sea, and the company in
sists its agreement set forth in the presi-
dents proclamation in 30 far as it pro-
hibits the company from taking its lawful
quota is in contraventlon of the vested
rights Of the company and subjects it TO
great loss. If il be assumed that the east
ern portion of Behring sea is not marine
territory of the United States, but is the
high seas, the company submits it
is not competent for Great Britain and
the United States or any two governments
to determine who shall be permitted to
navigase these waters or prohibit fishing
or taking seals on the high seas; and the
company points out that its rights have
been overlooked by the agreement, thereby
inflicting severe loss on the company in
order to obtain the consent OF England to
arbitrate question as to the rights Of Ca
madam poacners to destroy the fur seal in
dustry by pelagic fishing.
