President Peilegrini Says the Financial
Crisis is Growing Worse.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-The Bureau of
American Republics received copy of
the annual message of President Pelle-
GRIM OF the Argentine Republic, which
was laid before Congress last May. He
states that the only exceptional measures
which he was compelled to adopt were
declaring the city of Buenos Ayres in a
state of siege and suppression of a few
newspapers that were stirring up strife
Concessions of national lands covering
$4,000 square miles, which had been made
to spectators for colonization purposes,
We're revoked, as the holders of the con-
cess1ons failed to carry out the conditions
on which they obtained the lands MANY
public works had, of necessity, been sus-
pended for lack of funds. Assisted immi-
grafton from Europe had been stopped.
The revenues for 1890 were, in currency,
S73, 100000; expenditures, $92, $50, 900; leav-
ing deficit Of Sl9, 100000. The revenues
for 1891 had been calculated at SIT, ,0OO, 900
gold.
President Pellegrini expressed the hope
that the country, by the aid Of the mora
toribus loan negotiated in London, would
be able to pay its way the third year.
Trade returns were encouraging. The
exports were increasing and imports de-
clining.
The financial crisis, the President says,
grows worse daily. Paper money, of
which there are $3.50, ,OO0, 900 in circulation,
sustained loss of so per cent. He esti-
mates the losses since the crisis began at
$500, 900, ,O0C sterling. The National Bank
now owes the treasury $4,000. 900 III cur
rency and S2,000,000 in gold. He con-
siders the best solution Of the financial
difficulties would be to correct the de-
fects in the State banking system, revive
the credit of the State banks and enable
them to continue. For this purpose he
recommends a parliamentary commits
sion. He adds that the gold standard is
an insuperable difficulty in the way of re-
suming specie payments.
If we want metallic basis we must
resort to silver" he says. "All objec-
tions raised against the silver standard
may apply to Europe, but do not affect

THE SEAL FISHERY QUESTION.
PROTEST FROM THE NORTH AMER
ICAN COMMERCIAL COMPANY.
Claim Made That the Two Govern
ments Have No Right to Inter-
fere With It's Contract.
Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-The North
American Commercial Co., through it's
attorney, Judge Jeffries, has filed pro-
test with the Treasury Department. It
states that it was assured q quota of co.
600 seals during 1890, and upon this as
surance made a large outlay. It was
compelled to cease taking seals on July
Goth last, when the season had not ex-
pired, and only one-third of the net quota
of skins were obtained. On this the
company sustained loss of 100000 It
again submits formal protest against
the United States i'll once more prevent
ing it from taking its full quota of seals.
1t gives notice to the Secretary of the
Treasury that it will be claimed to be re-
imbursed by the United States to the full
amount ofloss it may sustain by reason of
its being prohibited from taking the full
quota this year. The company further
represents that in providing for the main
tenance and education of the inhabitants
of the Islands St. Paul and st. George, it
has expended SI50,000, for which it has
not been reimbursed.
The company invites the attention of
the Secretary of the Treasury to the fact
that the Islands of st. Paul and ST. George
are in undisputed possession of the
United States; that the right of this Gov
ernment to dispose of fur seals born on
said islands has never been questioned.
This being SO, the company assumes that
the right of the United States on it's lease
to take fur seals on said islands within
our unquestioned jurisdiction is beyond
dispute, and not subject to interference
by any foreign state. Any right of this
Government to take fur seals on its own
territory is not one of the questions to be
submitted to arbitration. In that dis
pute 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 its agreement, set forth in
the Presidents proclamation, in so far as
it prohibits the company from taking its
lawful quota, is in cOntrayention of the
vested rights of the company, and sub
jects it to great loss.
If it be assumed that the eastern por-
ton of Behring Sea is not in the marine
territory Of the United States, but is a
high sea-" the company submits that it
is not competent for Great Britain and
the United States, or any other two Gov
ernments, to determine who shall be per-
mitted to navigate these waters, or to pro-
hibit the fishing or taking of seals on the
high seas, and the company points out
that its rights have been overlooked by
the agreement, thereby inflicting Sc
we're loss upon the company, in order to
obtain the consent of England to arbi-
trate the question of the right of Canadian
poachers to destroy the fur-seal industry
by pelagic fishing.

OMAHA OFFICERS ExoNERArED.
No Evidence to Substantiate the
Charges of Smuggling.

No Evidence to Substantiate the
Charges of Smuggling.
WASHINGTON, June I9-Assistant Sec
retary Spalding has received from Col
lector Phelps a report concerning the al
legged smuggling by the Omaha's officers.
Spalding finds there is no evidence to
substantiate the charges of smuggling.
and the Collector is directed to release
the detained goods upon payment of the
tariff duties.
Collector SpaIding says that all the
seized goods are only worth 1892 foreign
value, and as they were divided among
twelve naval officers, there was an aver
age of SIS for each officer. The home
value of the goods is S567, or an average
of S47 for each officer. The goods consist
mostly of silk scarfS, Chinese vests and
bric-a-brac that naval officers frequently
bring home with them.
As to the report that part of the goods
were sent to naval officers on Thirteenth
street, in Washington, Collector Phelps
letter to the Department is as follows:
In regard TO goods seized from officers
Of the Omaha, / beg leave to submit the
following: The steamer arrived in port
and proceeded as usual TO Mare Island
without interference by customs officers.
A few days later ! received a letter in
forming me of what appeared to be gross
NiOlallOn on the part OF the officers. 1t
was so definite that did not feel author
ized to disregard it. / therefore sent
.he Chinese Inspector to investigate, to-
gether with the Sheriff of Solano County.
tie tried TO find the informer Good Nordl
but failed. He then ascertained at Wells
Fargo's express office that several small
packages of the goods had been shipped
East by naval officers. In company
with Special Agent Evans they ascer-
aimed at Mare Island that seventy-one
cases had been shipped May 29th TO San
Francisco where they were afterward To-
eated at the foot of Market street in
charge of the Southern Pacific Company
The packages were opened and / caused
them TO be seized and appraised in con-
sideration of the feelings of the officers of
Zhe Omaha, and not being of the opinion
hat they intended any fraud upon the
revenue by bringing the articles en-
braced IN the seizures, ] endeavored to
Keep the matter from public, bat it
.ea&ed out, and certain articles to a de-
gree sensational appeared in certain San
FRANCISCO papers. Since the seizure | re-
ceived a second letter informing me that
contraband goods were being loaded but
/ failed TO find the merchandise. The in
former may have been an employe on
ghe steamer and acted by malice. Ii may
be possible that the officers have really
smuggled some goods, but am inclined
70 give them the benefit of the doubt"

A British Captain Has Difficulty In
Shipping Crew.
SAN DIEGO, June 19.-The big British
coal ship Hounslow, which has been en-
gagged for several months in carrying coal
from Nanaimo to this port, did not sue
ceed in getting out of the harbor until
this morning at II o'clock, although her
cargo was discharged and she was ready
to sail night before last
After the striking seanlen left the vessel
yesterday morning representatives of the
Seanen's Union patrolled the wharyes
and constantly rowed back and forth in
boats to prevent the shipment of nom
union crew.
At an early hour this morning Captain
Norman had secured a boat-Ioad of men.
and, while passing from the wharf to the
steamer, three shots were fired at them
by the pursuing members of the union
but no damage was done.
ssWhile making another trip the Cap
tain was beset by a number of desperate
Iongshoremen. and but for the presence
OF squad OF police with drawn revoly-
ers would undoubtedly have been seri-
ously injured or killed. When he had
reached the vessel he had the anchor
weighed, and the steamer went down the
harbor to Ballast Point, where several
more non-unlon seamen were taken on
board, they having been driven to that
point by wagon to escape the pickets of
the union at the wharf
After drilling the new men until to-
day the big steamer disappeared around
Point Iona, leaving the strikers of this
city minus about $1,000 in salary, which
would have been due to-day, according
to their contract, but which by the strike
they have forfeited.
The trouble is said to be caused by an
alien walking delegate of the Coast Sea-
mems Union, who prevailed upon the
vessels crew to demand coast seamen's
wages while they were working under a
two years contract with the owners of
the Hounslow at S25 per month.

Appointments With Slavin.
NEW YORK, June 19.-Jim Wakely
was to have met in a conference with
Slavin and Mitchell tonight to make ar
rangements for meeting between Sulli-
van and Slavin, but he did not show up.
SO the case was left in this critical posi-
ton. The Australian is going to sail
for England tomorrow, unless arrange
ments for the great fight are made.
Slavin boxed three rounds with Charley
Mitchell at Niblo's tonight. He made a
speech, in which he said: ''I will post
pone my trip to England if match can
be made with Sullivan for $4,000 and the
biggest purse they can raise. I will meet
him with or without gloves, to demonstrate
which is champion of the world. They
would go and see Sullivan in Australia,
and he would be received much better,
in fact like lion, if he can make match
to fight me there"
Johnson and Wakely announced that
they had deposited with Arthur T. Lum-
ley, 81, 600, and desired to meet Slavin or
his representative at the Illustrated Nel0s
office, on Monday afternoon, between l
and o'clock, for the purpose of framing
a match with Sullivan. They have no
desire TO detain Sullivan from sailing for
Australia, and will do business with any
representative L.. may appoint. Slavin
endeavored to find Wakefy tonight, but
could not.
Johnson insists that he has dispatches
from Sullivan authorizing him to make a
match with Slayin for September.
