The Cruise of the Steamer Bear in the
 Arctic Ocean.

 The Cruise of the Steamer Bear in the
 Arctic Ocean.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-In a report to the treasury department on the cruise of the revenue cutter Bear in the Arctic ocean, dated Unalaska, September F, Captain M. A. Healey, commanding the vessel, says that he found many cases of destitution among deserters from the whaling fleet in the vicinity of Pythiopa. On account of the solidity of the ice it was found impossible to reach the point below the relief station to deliver coal and pro cation with the station was established and the superintendent sent word that the coal and provisions in hand were suff- cient to carry them through the winter unless some disaster occurred. The schooner Silver Wave of San Francisco was wrecke on Point Franklin in October, 1890, and her crew were succored at the station until spring. Captain Healey says whalebone resembles specie in value, and he recommends government protection to the industry of securing it. The report that the crews of three vessels were killed at Herschel island Captain Healey believes to be untrue. Many natives were found in destitution caused largely, Captain Hea!ey believes, by the refusal of the government to allow them to hunt with firearms, their spears being of little use since the wild an imals became SO shy. Several school houses were established in places visited by the Bear. Captain Healey says that the introduction of reindeer in the Arctic country will do much to improve the con dition oi the people, the deer being avail able as food. clothing and traffic.

TIVE WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
THE MCKINLEY TARIFF ACT,


 Briefs Filed by the Plaintiffs in the Two Cases Involving the Constftu- tionality of the Act-Several Cases QGoted as Precedents.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Steinbach & Go.
 of New York and Marshall, Field & Go.
 of Chicago, plaintiffs in two of the cases
 involving the constitutionality of the Me- Kinley tariff act, have filed briefs in the supreme court of the United States, passing
 them chiefly on the claim that the omis- sion by the enrolling clerk of the tobacco rebate section, stricken from the original bill by the senate, and restored in confer ence, makes the act void. Many similar courts are cited, holding that the omission of a clause in tue draft of bill makes it invalid. One case cited is that of a bill but placed on the statute book with some notifications made in assembly. The Minnesota supreme court in this case says: ''It is to be deeply re- gretted that 80 important law as this, covering subject of great public interest, should, because of the gross carelessness, or worse, of some one, be wiped bodily from the statute books. But the courts are not responsible for this, nor can they usurp the functions of legislation and by putting their eyes to the record of legis- lative doings declare law valid that never passed the legislature, however well au- thenticated it may be by the cirtifcates of officials"
 Judge Somerville of Alabama, who is a member of the board of general appraisers, wrote the opinion of the board sustaining the validity of the Mckinley act against the protests of the importers, is quoted in a decision he made while justice of the supreme court of Alabama in which he rules differently, taking the same ground opinion of the fate Justice Miller of the federal supreme court in support of their claim that the sugar bounty clause of the Mckinley act is unconstitutional. Justice Miller declared that to lay with one hand the power of the gov ernment on the property of the citizen and with the other to bestow it upon favored individuals to aid private enter prises and build up private fortunes is none the less robbery because it is done under the forms of law and is called taxa tion. This is not legislation, says Justice Miller. It is not a decree under legislative forms; nor is it taxation. The briefs claim that the power given the president in the third section of the Mckinley act to re- impose duties upon tea, coffee, sugar and hides at his discretion is so obviously un- constitutional as to preclude argument.

Rev. Dr. Coke Reads Q Paper on
 "Christian Co-operation.o
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Rev. Dr. A. Coke
 Smith of the Methodist Episcopal church, south of Nashville, Tenn, read the first paper of the afternoon session. His sub ject was Christian Cooperation" Dr. Smith said that the church of God is es- sentially one in all ages and places. This may consist with much variety in the non- essentials of creed and practice in the in dividusl and the denomination. Unity is not uniformity and the highest unity in purposes, so far reaching ss those of the gospel requires the greatest variety of en- dowment and work and a mobility in form that can adapt itself to it's ever-changing environment, and speaking in work and age and nation in it's own tongue. But while this is true it must be acknowledged that much that is inconsistent with the spirit of unity and catholicity has appear ed in the history of the church, and much still remains.
 The misunderstanding, divisions and strifes in the church have given great oc- casion to the enemies of the cross to blas- pheme. There may be as yet little if any unmixed good in the world. There is no unmixed evil. God is in nature and prov idence working continually toward the good. He allows the evil which may be in wrought into the institutions of real life to work themselves out to sight in con- which will lead to their elimina- tion. The reformation of the Sixteenth century was the protest on individual right against the usurpation and tyranny of an ecclesiastical hierachary, which | claimed authority over thought and con science and conduct, making the church | and the individual nothing.

 LA GRANGE, Ore., Oct. 9.-News has just reached here of daring robbery which was perpetrated upon the National Bank of Enterprise, in Walla Walla coun- ty, Wednesday afternoon. Cashier Holmes was in the bank alone when a man entered and asked how much money John Smith of Portland had on deposit. Upon the cashier saying that no such man had any deposit, the visitor drew a pistol and covering the cashier said: "You are a d. liar"
 At this juncture two confederates came up on horseback, one of them sitting on his horse with pistol in each hand and warned the people back. The other entered the bank and poured into sack all of the money on the counter, about s, 300. The three men then escaped to the noun tains in the direction of Cornucopia. A posse is now in pursuit, but as the coun- try is sparsely settled their capture is doubtful

English Political Circles in n Fer
 ment-The Perplexity of the Situa-
 tfon Heightened by MT. Parnelrs
 Disappearance.
 Copyrighted by the Associated Pressl
 LONDON, Oct. 9.-At no time since the break up of the liberal party on Mir. Glad stone's introduction of the home rule has political circles been in such state of fer ment as now. The question of the success sion to the house of commons leadership, made vacant by the death of William Hen ry Smith, excites the hopes and fears of conservatives and liberals alike. The former are agitated over the prospect of the succession of MT. Goschen, whom they protest, persisting that his claims are past. The latter are exulting in the probability of breach in the ranks of their opponents on the eve of the general elections.
 MT. ParnelPs disappearance from the field of politics adds to the perplexity and heightens the interest of the situation. The political clubs of this city, usually de- serted at this period of the year, have be- come within the last three days the foci for excited groups of politicians, drawn from the repose of the parliamentary re- cess toward the best center of information. The members of the Carlton club refuse to believe that Lord Salisbury will appoint MT. Goschen to the position held by the late MT. Smith, despite the open declaration by MT. Goschen's friends that if he is passed over he will resign his place in the government The liberals earnestly desire to see Mir. Goschen succeed MT. Smith, knowing that he would soon be at logger heads with the house, and that they could rely on his conduct as leader to precipi- tate dissolution of parliament. Private representations have been made to Lord Salisbury by an important group of con- Eervative members who insist that MT. Balfour, chief secretary of Ireland, alone, can command the united support of the party, but are willing to accept the leader ship of Sir Hicks Beach, president of the board of trade if the existing cabinet ar engagements render the appointed of MT. Balfour inopportune.

HYPERION THEATHR.

Last night "A Texas Steer" was played to crowded house. Hoyt, the well-known writer of "The Brass Monkey" which had such run at the Bijou in New York, ha. made great hit with his latest pro duction. The play itself, as the program states, is 8 "collection of saws and instances supposed to bear more or less upon the extr aordi- nary possibilities of American politics." It is very much like burlesque and ''The Senator" and deals with the dilemmas and humorous predicaments of a Texas cattle king from the ''wild and woody west, who has been elected to congress in spite of himself
 The play opens with side splitting pro- logue showing the future congressman in his Texas home and giving vivid picture of western politics and procedures. The American quartette was the principal at- traction of this part of the play and ren- dered some plantation melodies in an ex- tremely taking manner, being encored three times.
 The first act finds Mavench Brander, the embryo statesman, and his family installed in suit of rooms at the Arlington in Washington. Here the congressman meets with lobbyists, office seekers, bunco steer CTS and other ornaments of Washington society.
 In the second act the Branders have been initiated into the mysteries of fashion able life. In striking contrast visit from some of Brander's constituents is intro duced in the play-a situation where the author finds full scope for his humorous abilities. This act was enthusiastically applauded and MT. Hoyt was called out before the curtain. The play ends in the usual happy manner, the constituents go back fully satisfied with the ability of a man ''who can stand two years of Wash ington society and keep out of jsil," the daughter becomes engaged to an army officer and the curtain falls on the happy pair.
 Tim Murphy ably sustained the part of Mavench Brander, while Miss Flora Walsh, the we'll known actress, played the part ot "BossY," the daughter. The minor part of ''Dixie Style," the "Indiana Or phan," was exquisitely portrayed by Miss Sherrod, who played the role of an limo cent adventures" to perfection Mir Bray filled the part of Christopher Columbus Fishback, the "colored statesman very efficiently and was effective in the last scene where he decides that "office seekin' is mighty pol business anyhow" Taken altogether the company was well organ ized, we'll balanced one, and judging by the tremendous applause they received rendered the play entirely to the satisfac- tion of the large audience.

THE TRADE REVIEW.
Gradual Improvement fn Business In
 All Sections

All Sections.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: From all parts of the west and south come advices that business is gradually improving and the improvement is felt at eastern centers. There is still most encouraging absence in any trade of that speculative excitement and over-confdence which is so often a presage of disaster. Purchases are gov erned by unusual conservatism and yet are large in volume. The news regarding the chief industries is decidedly favorable. The iron industry is more firm in tone, and in spite of the comparatively small consumption in rail making an output scarcely ever exceeded seems to be met by the consumption. It is felt that the delay in the improvement of the demand for rails is at present the only barrier to general advance.

Hurled n Knife at rtnisiers.

MARsE1LLEs, Oct. 9.-Ministers Gueyt, Peche and Rouvier, now in this city, left the prefecture to-day in carriages escorted by hussars and gendarmes. The streets were thronged with cheering multitudes, but at several points pronounced missing and hooting were heard. While passing through the Boulevard Iiberte somebody in the crowd hurled an open knife having a sharp blade with great force at the ministers. The weapon missed its mark, striking with considerable force, but han dle foremost, an officer of the prefecture, seated in the rear of the ministerial car risges. The incident caused great excite ment and the gendarmes immediately charged and dispersed the mob. They were not able, however, to discover the miscreant. The ministers were afterwards entertained at luncheon at the chamber of commerce,
