LONDON, Oct 6--The Paris correspondent OF
the Neles telegraphs that replies to the govern

thusiasm among the people of France in the
matter OF sending exhibits to the Worlds fair

IN their views regarding the invitation of the

Willard to Consolidate Tacoma Railways.

TACOMA, Oct. 6.-ISpecial. There seems to be
a general belief, growing out of the transfer of
T. o. Abbotts interest in the Tacoma and
Steilaeoom electric railway and other facts, that
upon the arrival here OF Henry Willard all of the
electric street railways OF this city and suburbs,
including the Point Defiance road, Will be con-
soudated and managed under one board of
trustees, with power furnished by the Tacoma
Railway and Motor Company. This company
already furnishes power to the Point Defiance
road, which was today equipped with electric
appliances. This town and SteilaeoOm has
yet no means of reaching the business center of
the city, and for some time efforts have been
made to arrange traffic agreement with the
Tacoma Railway and Motor Company.
In the hope OF securing better and more uni
form service the citizens generally favor the
consolidation scheme.

SEAL CASE IN SUPREME COURT.
To Be Decided This Month-The Otto
Was Seized for POaching.

VICTORIA, Oct 6-[Special. THE steamer
Danube, bearing the British sealing commits
sioners, Sir George Baden Powell and DR.. Daw-
son, is now expected daily A letter was re-
ceiyed from her under date of Unalaska, Sep
tember 49, stating that the commissioners had
Just arrived from an inspection OF the Russian
seal islands and the prosecution OF inquiries as
far westward as Kamschatka. The commission
ers from Unalaska proposed to WORK down the
coast of British Columbia.
Mrs. A. Mclean, wife OF Captain A. Mclean, of
the sealing schooner j. Hamilton Lewis, seized
off Copper island by the Russian authorities,
has received cable dispatch from her husband,
who is now at Vladivostock. The captain says
he is well and will be at home next month. 1t
is evident from the tenor of the dispatch that
the schooner and ali her belonging have been
seized. 1t win be remembered that Captain
Mclean was shot by Russian officers while he
was raidng the Russian sealing islands. 1t is
supposed the crew were taken TO Vladivostock,
but nothing vet has been learned as to what
punishment was neted ont 70 the offenders.
WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 6.--At the october
term of the supreme court OF the United states,
which meets next Monday, the first case to
come up will be that of Thomas Henry Cooper,
the owner of the schooner Sayward, brought TO
test the question of the jurisdiction OF the
United States over the seal fisheries of Bering
sea.
The statement contained in the dispatch from
Ottawa published in the papers, that the
British sealer Otto was seized by the United
states ship Mohican on account of irregularity
in her papers, is pronounced at the navy oe-
partnent as without the slightest foundation.
Reports have been received at the navy depart
ment from Commander Cotton, commanding
the Mohiean, showing that the Otto was seized
on August 81, for violating the modus yivendi
and that she was taken in Bering sea, twenty
miles northwest of Unimsk pass, with iuli
scaling outfit and 6S skins on board It further
appears that FIVE days before the seizure was
made, Commander Cotton had received an
official letter from Commander Turner. the
senior British naval officer at Unalaska, stating
that he considered the otto just and lawful
capture. No question arose in reference to her
paperg. The otto was delivered two days after
bsr canture TO the commanding officer OF her
majestys ship Pheasant, at Unalaska-

A MUTUAL COMPANY SUSPENDED.
Commissioner Weir Finds Securities of
an Ohio Institution Insufficient.


an Ohio Institution Insufficient.
OLYMPIA, Oct Especial Insurance Com
missioner Weir decided today to suspend the
permission granted the Seneca County Mutual
Insurance Company, of Tiffin, o., TO do business
in this state. This is the company whose ad-
mission to the state was the cause of the cores
pondence between Mr.. Weir and d. A. Spencer,
of Seattle, representing the stock companies.
BY request of the Seneca company Mr.. Wen sent
Assistant Commissioner Royal TO Ohio last
month to examine the affairs of the company.
Mr.. Royal made detailed report. In letter to
Mr.. Spencer, Mr. Weir says that he has given
the report careful consideration, and states:
After mature deliberation, have decided to
again suspend this comp pany pending compli-
ance with the conditions imposed by this
department, for the reason that while the COM
pany seems to have all in the amount that IL
has claimed in the way of securities, our exam
ination has disclosed the fact that these seeuri
ties are largely composed OF non-negotiable
notes payable upon contingent conditions, Il. e.,
a vote OF the directors) not possible TO be
enforced by creditor, and therefore not bank
able under the rule heretofore uniformly fol-
lowed by this department, that is, we cannot
regard their notes SO conditioned as equivalent
to coin or convertible into coin, under "A decree
of court OF forced liquidation. If
they were ordinary demand notes, negotiable,
and were found to be worth their face as Sc
curity, we could require a sufficient amount of
them 10 be kept on deposit, subject TO the order
OF this department, to meet the demands of our
law, and thus continue the company. The con-
ditous imposed in suspending the seneca
County company include requirement that
they shall produce and deposit subject to our
order. in bank or other place to be designated
by us, bankable securities equivalent TO at least
100000 in coin over and above their current liza
bilities. Failing to comply with these require
ments the suspension OF the eompany's license
will be made permanent. This, of course, leaves
no ground for mandamus suit in connection
with the Seneca County company. may add,
however, that we are still anxious to procure q
decision with the supreme court on the point as
to whether purely mutual company can be ad-
mitted to this state under any circumstances,
and as soon as test case can be made we will
cheerfully facilitate the same.

some time before the fire department ar

spread to the building on the south occu-
pied by Albert Neibergall and the two
story frame building occupied by Conlan
Bros saloon, and Thomas Wolf on the
lower floor. and lodging house upstairs,
kept by the Misses Lair. So rapidly
did the fire spread that in the short space
OF about twenty minutes the three frame
buildings were one solid blaze. At this
stage Chief Engineer Blalock ordered out

were playing on the blaze, but it was
then too late to save but a portion of the

all gotten out with small loss. Neibergall
also saved nearly all of his stock of liquors.
The lodging-house of the Misses LAIR was
occupied by several printers and members

the third time that this block has been
