VICTORIA, B. c., April 29-TSpecial. !
The story of the sealing schooner La Ninfa,
as far as regards the legal points on which
the case of her seizure will be argued, is
totally incorrect. In an interview with
Captain Whitelaw. her owner, here to-
night. he states:
The points be is lighting have nothing to do
with the three mile limit, which he has never
disputed, but the whole cause of action is as
follows: The La Njnis wea; to Barring sen Ia $

nineteen seals incidentally. and then fell in
with the Thetis, which ordered her out, but on
being told that she was a whaler, allowed her TO
stay in. The week following, having captured
no more seals, the Corwin boarded her, and
Notwithstanding her whaling outfit, took her
down to Unalsska and then on to Sltka, where
Judge Bug5es found against her on some old
statute. Whitelaw has no fear OF losing the
case. He will sue for heavy damages

WASHINGTON CRY. April D.--fspecial. !
No man, not even President Harrison, has
a sure thing on the presidential nomina-
ton at Minneapolis. All this Is made
piain by the outcome Of the New York
and Ohio conventions. With these great
states in combination with Pennsylvania
and other states that have not decided
what their delegates shall do, the Mime
apoiis convention is certain 70 be de-
Lucrative body, instead of a cut and dried
affair. II may be that Harrison will be
renominated. but If he does IL win be only
accomplished when the delegates to the
convention are perfectly satisfied that he
IL the strongest man to place al the
head of the ticket. The friends
Of the president are not in position 10
force matters In any direction. II the OPP
position 10 him decides that it will be I'M
wise to renominate him 1t will not be
done. This opposition viii have sufficient
strength TO prevent any stampede OF the
convention to Harrison. Some of the
presidents staunch friends in Washing
ton City admit this much today. They
propose to study the situation from every
possible standpoint in advance of the con-
vention sessions.
1t is looking toward this and that con-
ference Of prominent Republican leaders

At this conference will be Tom Platt.
who practically controls the New York
delegation; Foraker, Mckinley, of Ohio;
Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania. which
state delegation he controls; Senators
Washburn, Wolcoft, Teller, Pettigrew,
Hansbrough. ex-Speaker Reed and others
who have the interests OF the party at
heart At this conference it may be that
IL will be decided that Harrison should
be again renominated. but the chances are
against such result. Ii Harrison is not
decided upon, then it viii be Blaine, if he
will accept. II he is surely out of it, Nc
kinley or Reed may be selected.
Strange as it may seem, Reed is now con-
sidered q very strong possibility. By some it
is believed that he would make a stronger
candidate than Mckinley or any other
man, except Blaine.

gate to Chicago.
The question as to King county's dele
gate to the national Democratic conven-
ton in Chicago is now agitating the
breasts of al the faithful. To all present
appearances John Collins is in the lead
as is admitted even by some who are work
ing against him. The other aspirants for
the honor are W. II. White, d. o. Finch
and +. 4. Macdonald, for Percy W.
Rochester has withdrawn from the race.
D. o. Finch. who for nearly forty years
has attended every national Dem
ocratic convention, says that the prize
must come 10 him unsought, for
he Will not work for it. His friends urge
that his wide acquaintance amongthe del
egates from other states will enable him to
secure for the new delegation from Wash
ingtoa more consideration than it might
otherwise receive. On the other hand. the
fact of his short residence is being used as
an argument against HIM.
W II. White is an old-time Democrat,
and in the state convention at Vancouver
he will probably have more friends from
the state at large than any other Of the
King county men.
+. A. Macdonald is looking close at his
fences. but the same argument that is be-
ing used against Mr.. Finch is also en-
ployed against him.
All three of these men are believed to be
for Cleveland, but Collins is considered an
uncertain quantity. lie says evasively

CIVIL SERVICE EEFoRM.
They Declare That the Administrations
Has Not Lived Up to Its Promises.

BALTIMORE. April 29.-At q meeting of
the National Civil Service Reform Associ.
alton papers were read as follows: "Ap-
plicaiion of the Reform System to Public
Labors," by Charles 7. Russell, of Nassa-
chusetts; "Postmasters' Method of Ap-
pointment, Term and Tenure" by r. f.
Woods. George William Curtis was unani-
mously reelected as president. At the
afternoon session q letter from William
Dudley Fouke, of Indiana. to President
Harrison. dated December 20, was read.
1t called his attention to the fact that the
civil service commissioners had repeatedly
urged that civil service reform be extended
20 postoftices having twenty-five employees
or more. Yet during the three years of
his term Harrison has not done so. The
president in reply, on December 81, after
saying that he had not time TO discuss the
matter at length, said:
Ny thought was that the irst thing to do was
- satisfy the country that the law Ia being
faithfully and impartially administered as to
Offices already classified think good deal
has been accomplished in that direction. aud
there has been an important extension OF the
classified service. The subject presented by
you. as well ~ some other suggested move
ments, have been having and will have my
c"Hsiuefatious ouk 4 am not Low prepared 70
announce any programme.
The report of the committee n resolu-
tions was presented and adopted. The
resolutions commend what has been &C.
complished by the administration in the
way of reform, but says:
The solemn promises OF the Republican plat
form OF ISIS have been broken, the voluntary
pledges of the president are uniuihllsd and the
elsim OF the Republican psriy, however strong,
10 be the party OF civil reform has not been
sustained by the course of the administration
and at this gross breach plighted faith the
National Civil Service Reform League earnestly
protests.
In the discussion which preceded the
adoption of the report German suggested
that IL include an Endorsement of Harri-
son, because in the appointment of nine
new United States judges he named two
Democrats The suggestion aroused op-
position. The discussion waxed warm,
when Schurz offered this substitute !:
THAT the presidents judicial appoint
ments are sign of progress in the right
direction" This was adopted.
