THE SEAL INDUSTRY.

The Modus Vivendi Alleged to Have Been
Violated by the North American Com
mercial Co., and the United states Gale
to Account for 1.-THE Entire Arrange
ment May be Declared Imperative as
the Result.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British minister, has
officially called attention of the United
States to a violation of the terms of
the modus vivendi in effect between the
two countries as to the catch of seal in
Behring sea. BY the agreement between
the two countries, the North Ameri-
can Commercial Co., which leases the
seal islands from the United States, was
restricted in the catch of seals this year
to $500 skins. 1t is alleged that the
Commercial company has exceeded this
catch. thus violating the modus vivendi.
and the British government has called
the United States to account for it.
Special Agent Williams of the treas
ury department has made special
report on this branch of the
partment, and his report was for
warded to the state department with
a request that it's contents be laid be-
fore the British minister for transmits
sion to the foreign office in London.
The contents of Agent Williams report
can not be accurately ascertained but
it is understood that he makes the adj
mission that the North American Com
mercial Co. has exceeded the limit of
catch-7,50O skins-fxed by the modus
vivendi The matter is regarded here
as quite important, and may lead to the
modus vivendi being declared inopera-
tive after this date.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
A Question of Constitutionality Involvir
Large Amount of Money.

A Question of Constitutionality Involvine
Large Amount of Money.
WASHINGTON, Sept 19.-The question
| of the constitutionality of the tax of
one-half cent imposed semi-annually
| on national banks is raised in a case
before the courts of the District of
Columbia. The question will probably
soon reach the supreme court The
bank bringing the suit is the Twin
City national bank of New Brighton,
MINI. The ground for questioning
the constitutionality of the tax
is that this portion of the
banking act originated in the
senate. The constitution provides that
'all bills for raising revenue shall
originate in the house of representa-
tives." The senate, it is claimed has
authority to Propose or concur with
amendments as on other bills" but
the contention in this case will be that
the banking act was not bill to raise
revenue when it reached the senate,
and could not be transformed into such
bill by the senate. There are
other grounds upon which the tax
is contested in the particular
case before the court. If the constitu-
tionality of the question should be de-
cided in favor of the bank, it might
open the way for great multitude Of
suits for refund by the banks through
out the country. The statute of limi-
tations would probably prevent the re-
covery of all these payments back to
the organization of the national bank
ing system in 1864; but it would take
more than $10,OcO,OOO to refund the
taxes for the past five or six years.

[Sgned.1 JOHN z. BUCHANAN,

To this Gov. Brown replied:
FRANKFORT. Ky. Sept. IS, 1891.
To Cor. Buchanan, Nashville, Tenn:
Your dispatch received. In so far as may

vent the anticipated trouble. However,
would suggest that if citizens of Kentucky

saying she was better shot than her

in hand she soon forced the crowd of

LATE NEWS ITEMS,

THE post mortem examination of the
body of Charles Barouslli, which was
conducted in the presence of twelve of
the leading physicians of Sioux City,
Ia, on the Goth, revealed case which
they declare to be without parallel in
the history of medicine. He was a
veteran of the late war, and received a
rifle ball through the mouth, which
lodged in his head. The ball was
found in the lower or vital part
the posterior horn of the left lateral
ventricle. The only trouble the de-
ceased ever experienced was dizziness
when he stopped over or lay on his left
side
THE news of Balmaceda'S tragic
death made a marked impression in
London and is the chef topic. even sur
passing the question of the Dardanelles
and the German emperor's assault
upon Napoleon the Great The general
feeling in English commercial circles
is one of relief and joy, since. while
Balmaceda lived there never could be
an assurance that he might not stir up
another revolution, and reverse the
order of things, to the great detriment
of the English interests in control of
the nitrate traffic.
THE statement is positively made by
citizens of Coal Creek and Briceville,
Tenn, that the convicts employed in
the coal mines in that region will be re-
leased so surely as the special session of
the legislature adjourns without taking
some steps looking to their final re-
moval. No one ventures an opinion as
to when it will be done, but they will
be set free this time if they are dis
turbed at all.

The Ministry May be Disrupted.
MONTREAL, Can, Sept. 19.-Ihe
province of Quebec is in the midst OF
the most important political crisis that
has taken place in many years. 80
acute is the political situation that
report was received here last night
from Quebec that the government
would resign, in which case a political
agitation of the utmost Importance Will
be precipitated. The crisis is the out
come of a conflict of authority between
Lieut. Gov. Anglers and Mr.. MERCER.
Mr. MERCER is charged with being inn
plicated in the Bale DIES Chaleurs scan
ial. which was recently unearthed at
Ottawa. Lieut.. Gov. Anglers transmit
ted the correspondence that passed be-
tween him and Mr.. MERCER to the gov
ernor-general. and, contrary to all pre-
cedent, this has been laid before the
Dominion parliament and made public.
The publication of the correspondence
has created great sensation. The
greatest excitement prevails here over
the situation, and everyone is waiting
anxiously to see what the government
will do. Mr.. MERCER. it is supposed,
will refuse to comply with the demands
of Lieut.Gov. Anglers for explana-
tons, and will force the latter to
dismiss the ministry, in which case
a direct conflict will arise between the
crown and the representatives of the
house. The conflict may have a far
reaching consequence, as the French
leaders feel very much ruffled over the
way in which they are being treated by
the English party, and it would take
very little to raise a serious conflict
