WAITING FOR HARRISON
Before Final Instruct ms Are Given the
Commando: of the Rush.

WASHINGTON, May H.-Although the COM
mander of the revenue cutter Rush, now at
San Francisco, was ordered to have the yes.
sci prepared to start on her regular cruise to
Bering Sea by the 14th inst, it is not believed
that she will sail that day.
The final instructions to the commander
of the cutter in regard to dealing with per
sons found illicitly sealing in Bering Sea
have, it is said, not yet been sent to him and
it is understood that the members of the
Cabinet now in Washington are waiting fol
the return of the President and the other
members of the Cabinet who are with him
before deciding just what the nature of the
instructions are to be.

Ml..ed m. ROCK. ~ rom Fest.

San Francisco, Aug. 1S.-ofTicers OF
the United States steamer Mohican,
which sailed from ounal aska August /,
say that the Mohican nearly ran onto
the rocks at St, George Island during a
fog. The ship was going at full speed,
when the breakers were seen ahead.
The engines were reversed and the
vessels bow missed the rocks by about
ten feet.
The cutter Rush picked up seven men
in a whale boat from the Rhaler Triton.
They had been lost in the fog and
drifted around ten days before being
picked up. They were in a terrible
condition when found, one having gone
mad. Several others are not expected
to survive. Nearly all sealers have been
notified to leaye the Boring sea and
have complied with the order.

NEW YoRx, Aug. lS.-Postmaster Col
Inns, of Brooklyn, has received an order
from the Postmaster Generals office,
directing him to withhold all registered
letters and money orders sent to the
Tanquery Portrait company, Of 75l to
765 Dekalb avenue. This concern has
been sending circulars all over the
country, offering to make crayon por-
traits absolutely free Of charge. After
the portrait is finished its delivery is
refused until n frame has been pur-
chased for it from the company at a cost
greater than the regular price. Com
plants were made to the postofIice
authorities that the concern was fraud,
and the order was the result.

Quay's Mistaken Idea.

Senator Quay announces that he will
vote to seat Brice in spite Of the charge
that, being citizen Of New York, he is
Ineligible to represent Ohio in the
United States Senate. Mr.. Quay is not
the first Republican to favor seating an
Ohio Democrat not legally entitled to
the place. The other gentlemen who
thus voted were subjected to very
strong public censure for their action.
Perhaps, however, Mr.. Quay does not
care for other peoples opinions; at
least he intimates as much when he
says, "1f the people of Ohio want a
New Yorker to represent them I have
not the slightest objection"
ltwould be interesting to know where
the Pennsylvania senator obtained, the
idea that the people of Ohio want a
New Yorker to represent them in the
Senate. 1t is a notorious fact that very
few, If any, Of "the people" want Brice,
and that if the matter had been left to
them Calvin S Brice would have been
allowed to remain at his New York
home.
If by "the people of Ohio" Senator
Quay means the Democratic members
of the Legislature who succumbed to
the power OF Doodle, he certainly pos
sesses limited idea Of what constitutes
"thepeople."

Hone for the Future.

The question of dress reform, which
is just now agitating the feminine
world, is so yariegated as to style that
it may prove stumbling block in the
way Of attaining the desired end. The
leaders all agree that reform is needed,
but disagree as to tho costume most
suitable. Ideas so widely differ that 1t
seems almost impossible for a compro-
mise to be fixed upon. However, the
discussion is profitable as we'll as enter
tanning, and there is hope that benefit
may result. The women are interested
and that is a long step in the direction
Of the contamination to be devoutly
wished.

PURELY PERSONAL NATTER

The Marquis OF Aiiesbury, who has
Just been refused permission to impoy-
erish the family estates by selling q
$780, 0O slice OF them, Is one Of those
sporting men who having once won q
big race with his horse Savernake, has
managed to gamble away more than n
hundred times as much on worthless
screws and polished blacklegs. He is a
cheap snob who has had legal set
back which the heirs Of the estate will
appreciate when the present Marquis
has been gathered TO the forefathers
whom he has dlshonorea.
The son OF General Mcclellan is a
worthy son. OF o worthy sire. When
Little Mac" died he lett only small
property, which Colonel Mcclellan i'm
mediately turned over to his mother in
order to secure her comfort in her de-
clining years. He is now making his
mark in the world and gathering in its
ducats, having the responsible position
Of treasurer Of the Brooklyn bridge.
Dr.. Douglas, who attended General
Grant OH his deathbed and ruined his
practice and prospects by his unremit-
ting care OF his distinguished, patient, is
now broken man, ruined in pocket and
helpless in health. But a graceful
country will not let him starve, and his
wife has been provided with subor-
dinate situation in one OF the branches
of the Treasury Department.
Colonel Tourtelotte, who was buried
at La Crosse, Wis, few days ago, was
the commander at Altoona, Ga, TO
whom Sherman first sent instructions
to "hold the fort" Later, when Gener-
al Corse took charge and the fort was
attacked, Tourtelotte, as well as Corse,
was wounded. Wisconsin feels that her
son deserves large share OF the credit
OF that famous incident.
The Marquis OF Lorne is now accused
OF having love OF cock-hghting and OF
knowing how to fix pair OF gatfs or
cut comb us well as any man in the
trade. To those who know how pretty
Louise keeps her eyes upon her hus-
band denial OF this accusation is un-
necessary. Lorne knows what is good
for him.
When Steele Mnckaye, James Whit

tiers while at Vassar, instead Of spend

Senator-elect shoup has no desire to
have his name changed, however sug-
gestive it may be, and the first man who

Prince Albert Of Thurn aud Taxis, in

Independent afaryiand Farmers


In the Democratic state Of Maryland
the Democratic party views with alarm
the attitude of the Farmers Alliance.
There are two causes contributing to the
uneasiness manifested. First, most Of
the Alliance men are, or were, Demo-
Gratis and they have served notice on
German that they are tired of German
ism in Maryland politics. Second, they.
have, in convention assembled, declared
in opposition to third party, believing
that the work of the Alliance is educa-
tional only and ats members are free
each for himself to decide with which
party ho will act" These form decla-
ration Of independence which natur-
ally causes the Democratic bosses who
have for so long held tho farmers q
Maryland by the threats to feel ner-
yous regarding the future.

dian sealing schooner @. D. Rand has
Just returned to yancouverfrom Boring
Sea, where she was seized by the Ame-
rican cutter Rush, ordered to st. Paul's
Island and then release and sent home.
Captain Alcocli is full of bitter
ness over his seizure, as he declares
there was not m illicit skin on his yes
sci. While at st. Paul's Island he de-
clares that he saw thousands OF seals
more than he ever saw before. For
about three miles, he said, there was n
fine sandy beach, from fifty to $50 yards
deep, and reaching up to the grass
above. On this beach was a sight worth
seeing. good for sealers to feast on. To
attempt to give any estimate OF the
seals. old and young, male and female,
would be folly.

There is one thing, however, that will
affect the seals, and that is the fearful
state Of the air. So many seals have

left to rot that the air is so tainted one
can hardly breathe. There is no doubt
that the smell of rotting seals does more
injury to seals than all the sealcrs who

The latest White House Story.

The Latest White House, story. s,
During the temporary absence of the
heads of the administration from Wash
ington the alert correspondents sta
toned at the National Capital find the
news business rather dull. They are
obliged to send something to their pa
pers, however, and in the absence Of
anything else to write about are forced
to fall back on the sweet morsels Of
scandal furnished them by the busy
gossipers. They are not particular
about who it affects, whose heartstrings
it breaks, or what sacred domestic rela-
tions it violates.
Tho latest story Of this nature is to
theetfect that the Presidents tather-in-
Law, the venerable Doctor Scott, has
been forced to leave the White House
owing to certain alleged indignities
heaped upon him by the Harrison
family. Such, stories have been told
before about other families that have
inhabited the Executive mansion, and
they have always been traced to the
scandal mongeis who abound in Wash
ington society, and whose sole mission
in life seems to be to manufacture
news" for sensational journals.
Tie scott-Harrison story is SO absurd
that 1t scarcely calls for u denial. tits
pity that some sort of punishment is
not provided for the journalistic liar
whose appetite for sensations has cor
rupted his sense of deceney.
