Indiscreet Remarks of the Pay
master of the mOhfcam.


WASHINGTON, October %. II Recent al.
legged remarks of Paymaster John Clyde
Sullivan, of the United States steamer Mo
hican, have been called to the attention OF
the state, navy and interior departments,
and it is probable that court martial will
result from them.
Paymaster Sullivan, who has been on
duty with his ship, suppressing seal poach-
ing, is reported to have said in an inter-
view published in Seattle:
1--WE have not the shadow of right to
declare Behring sea closed, and we will
be knocked out entirely by the interna-
tional commission. have read everything
could get my hands upon on the subject,
and | am something Of lawyer as well as
sailor, and believe Blaine's contention
is all wrong and that the United States will
have to pay double for the work we have
been doing in Behring sea-"
This remark has been taken up by the
British Columbia papers and has been
brought to the attention of the state and
navy departments. Mr.. Sullivan also Of
Tended the interior department by the fol-
lowing alleged remarks about the govern
ment of Alaska:
"Ihat country should have regular ter
ritorial form of government with delegate

sources.
''This beauracratic form Of government
is fraud any way, and as a rule ineffici-
ent men are appointed to manage affairs

vent pelagic sealing and we have done So

THE CITY COUNCIL.
Another Claim for Damages Filed
against the city.

Against the city.
At the council meeting last night Isaac
V. Mossman and wife presented a claim
against the city for $1,000, for alleged dam
ages to property owned by them on Union
street, by the grading of that street. This
claim was supplemented by the attention
of the council being called to the damages
to the property of g. N. Talcott. After be-
ing duly presented to the council the
claims were referred to the city attorney.
City Engineer Lemon informed the coun-
Gil that East Fourth street, from Central
street to the city limits, was not properly
established. The variation at the city
limits was such that the abutting property
extended fourteen inches into the street.
The engineer recommended that that streets
crossing Central street be improved at right
angles to that street. This led to a vigor-
0us protest from Councilman TalcotU. The
recommendation Of Mr. Lemon was re-
ferred, upon motion of Mr.. Phipps, to the
committee on accounts, of which Mr. Tai
colt is chairman.
Mrs. Emma Horton asked by petition
that taxes on five lots owned by her in
Swans addition be rebated. She claimed
that they had been assessed higher than
more valuable property in the same vicin-
lty. The petition was laid on the table
upon motion of Councilman Frisch.
The matter of the street railway company
sweeping dirt from the track into the gut
ters came up for consideration and was dis
posed of by the street committee being in
structed to prevent further imposition
upon the cutters and sewers Of the city in
the manner specified
City Attorney Linn advised the council
to accept the original assessment against
the property of w. ]. Craig, who claimed
that he had not received notice of an in
crease in his assessment. The city attor-
ney thought that if the facts in the case
were as they had been stated, it was best
for the council to accept the original as
| sessment.

London Streets I'm the Time of George IL.
There were certain dangers and in
c~onveniences walking along the streeta
/ n London in the Seventeenth century.
The finest dress might be ruined by the
carelessness of a dustman or a chimney
sweep; the custom of exposing meat on
open bulkheads led to many an irrepar-
able stain of grease. Bullies pushed the
peaceful passenger into the gutter-it
was a great time for street swagger;
BARRIERS blew the -four into wigs at open
doorways, causing violent wrath among
those outside; mad bulls careered up
and down the streets; men quarreled,
made a ring and fought it out before
the traffic could go on; pickpockets were
both numerous and d~exterous; footpads
abounded in the open squares OF Lin
coins Inn, Bloomsbury, and Portman;
highwaymen swarmed on all the roads;
men servants were insolent and rascally;
the noise in the leading streets was deaf
ening; in q shower the way became i'm
passable from the rain spouts in the
!oofs, which discharged their contents
upon the streets below.-Walter Besant

Barrels and casks are now successfully
turned out direct from the tree-that il,
without the wood having to be cut up
into numerous slaves. By this method,
which is known as the Oncken system,
the tree stem is first sawed into lengths
to suit that of the cask to be made, and
these lengths are boiled for about three
hours in a closed vessel, which renders
the wood soft, a current of electricity
being also passed through the water dur
ing the boiling process. The log is
taken from the boiler to the cutting ma
chine, in which it is fixed as in a lathe
and brought up against a long, broad
cutting blade; the log is revolved, the
knife automatically approaches it and
the sheet of wood passes out to the rear
of the machine through an opening in
the frame just at the edge of the blade,
as in a plane.
The sheet of wood is drawn from the
machine on to a table, where it is cut
into lengths suitable for the diameter Of
the barrel. The lengths are taken to q
growing machine and grooved near the
edges for receiving the head and bottom
of the cask. The wood is now put into
another machine, which cuts long, mar
row V pieces, or gussets, out of the
edges at intervals, which give the neces-
sary double taper to the cask. The
sheets of wood are finally formed up
into a cylinder and the first two hoops
driven on by the machine, there being
thus only one stave in the cask, and
consequently only n joint. The sheets
of wood car receive any degree Of thin
ness.-New York Sun.
