His first political experience was in cam

A SEALER In COURT.
Brief Presented for British
Schooner Hayward.
JURISDICTION OF U. S. DENIED
The Supreme Court Gives the Attorne y
General Two Weeks to File
His Answer.

WASHINGTON Cfry, Jan. 12.-The Boring
sea seal fisheries controversy came up in
the United States supreme court today.
On motion which has in view judicial
determination of the dispute between the
United States and Great Britain over the
seal fisheries Joseph Choate, in behalf of
Thomas Henry Cooper, owner and claim
ant of the British schooner Hayward,
which was seized in the waters of Bering
sea by the revenue cutter Rush, petitions
the court for leave to ME petition for
writ of prohibition, to be directed to the
Judge of the district court in the United
states in and for the territory of Alaska,
restraining him from proceeding with the
condemnation and sale of the vessel. The
object is TO have the court take up and
pass upon the question of jurisdiction over
these waters.
The brief Med by Choate begins by re-
citing that by the law of nations the mu-
nicipai laws of the country have no extra
territorial force, and cannot operate on
foreign We ssels on the high seas, and it is
legally impossible under the public law
for foreign vessel to commit breach of
municipal law beyond the limits of the
territorial Jurisdiction of the law-making
l4at the SEIZURE Oh a foreign vessel
beyond the limits of municipal territorial
jurisdiction for breach of municipal regu-
lations is not warranted by the laws of ma
tons, and such seizure cannot give juris-
diction to the court of the offended coun-
try, least of all where the alleged act was
committed by foreign vessel at the place
OF seizure beyond municipal territorial
jurisdiction; that by the law of nations
British vessels sailing on the high seas are
not subject to any municipal law except
that of Great Britain.
The court is informed that Sir John
Thompson, her majesty's attorney general
of Canada, authorized this motion to be
presented with the knowledge and APP
prevail of the imperial government of
Great Britain.
The court made an order giving the at
torney general two weeks to file an answer
to the brief of Choate, giving reasons why
the petition should not be granted.
CHICAGO, Jan. PA Times Washington
special says: Blaine has owned to friend
that he can go no further in the Bering
sea controversy with England; that the
United States has nothing TO fight with
and that to insist on our rights we must
resort to arms.

CARDINAL MANNING NO SOCIALIST.
He Denies the Charge, and Says Social
ism Cannot BE Defined.


LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Chronicle pub
fishes an account of an interview with Car
dinai Manning regarding an article in the
81. James Gazette, in which the cardinal
was condemned as socialist because
of letter written by him to a Paris
publication. The cardinal argued that
it was i'm possible to define socialism, be-
cause any attempt to do so was met by
three distinct socialist schools, all of which
denied the accuracy of the definition, there
fore it is more useful to know what social
ism is not
ain the first place." said the cardinal, "the
socialism OF man is not of human, but of divine
creation. 1t is founded upon the three great
laws OF authority, obedience and brotherhood.
The whole of our legislation is essentially social
for the protection OF properly and labor,
in contrast with socialism, which, claiming
supreme power to change, reform and
reject, even to re-create the foundation
and principles of political and therefore human
society, is essentially destructive and reyolIl-
tionsry. Secondly, the correction of social evils
should be conservative of the life and health of
society. Socialism. on the other hand, identifies
social evils with society ITSELF and kills the pa
socialist considers the chief evil of our times
the accumulation of property in a few hands,
and to cure 1t. some socialists would deny the
right OF property to individuals, which is
founded radically in the law OF nature Social
legislation will show how, by just legislation,
TO redress these inequalities. The poor
laws laws and 'ae the abolition aSa 81 the corn IN
real property and the income tax, are all just
social laws, founded upon the first principles of
human society, as strictly conservative OF the
similar laws are not required or that they have
received their full development. ] am content
with saying that any one calling such legislation
socialistic does not know what socialism

Kalakaua Pleased at Failure of His
Subjects to Colonize Utah.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 1.-Two Kanaka
families arrived yesterday from Salt Lake
City on the way to Honolulu at the ex-
pense of the Hawaiian government, and
about dozen more people will fol-
low in few days. Their people were Sc
cured by Mormon missionaries to the
Hawaiian islands about one year ago, on
the strength OF elaborate promises made
to them, but they have had hard time,
and now King Kalakua is sending them
back to the Islands They told the King
yesterday that other Kanakas in Mormon
dom were dissatisfied. When they went
there they were taken to Skull valley and
given work on farms, but were not paid a
dollar in money, being forced to receive
their wages in farm products. Later they
worked in Salt Lake City at carrying hods,
but work of any kind was hard to get 1t
is thought that King Kalakaua is rather
pleased at the outcome of the attempt at
colonization of his people in Mormondom,
as it will put stop to further emigration
there.

They stopped a great financicr in
Third street yesterday noon, us he was
walking along with bowed head says
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, fig
uring perhaps on tho value of securities
he had taken for the last loan made,
and perhaps on the time it would take
him personally to pay off the national
debt. 1t looked as though it might
bankrupt seven banks if his train of
thought was interrupted, but one of the
young men was the son of IN old friend,
so he took the interruption in good part
and for q moment let the banks take
their chances with the unfeeling world
Whats n promoter" asked the
young man who had stopped him.
"Um-ah-a promoter" he said. in
his superior way. "a promoter is-ah
a man who-ah-promotes."
Promotes what?" asked the young
man.
BY this time the flnancier had got his
mind off of one or two of the banks and
conferred it on the question.
Great enterprises, my boy" he said,
patronizingly. "A promoter is man
who takes hold of great scheme and
pushes it through. He secures invest
ors, shows the advantages of-but why
do you want to know2"
well, you Sec" explained the young
man diflidently, 1--WE had a little dispute
as to the meaning of the word as it is
used at present and we wanted to have
it decided"
Quite right, quite right" The finan-
cier looked his approval. "How did you
dccide?"
"Why, we haven't decided yet. bet,
Jim small bottle that the best defini-
ton of a promoter was a man who
sells what he hasn't got to man who
doesn't know what he Is getting"
The great financier was startled for
moment. Then he said:
young man. you como around to my
Office. I'll find position for YOU"
Then rs he was moving away, he
said:
