A sEALER FORFEITED.
Decision OF a Famous Boring Sea Gas,
Mt Seattle.

Decision OF Famous Boring Sea Case
at Seattle.
SEATTLE, WASH, March 26.-Late this
afternoon Judge Hanford handed down
decision in the famous Bering sea
case, which is entitled the United
States vs.. the schooner James
Il. Swan. The schooner was seized
July 20, 1889, and was condemned
as forfeited to the United States tor kill
ing fur seals in the waters of Alaska in
violation of the United States statutes.
The schooner belonged to an Indian
named Cheetoqua Peterson, and he sent
her to the sealing grounds with a
crew of Mokaha Indians under COM
mand of white man. 1t was claimed
by the defense that the criminal laws of
the United States could have no force
on the sea beyond cannon shot from
the shore, and therefore the government
had no power to prohibit the killing or
taking of wild animals in the open sea.
The decision says national dominion
may be extended over the sea as
we'll as land; the determination of all
questions relative to the extension and
maintenance of the national government
is with congress and the president. The
vessel is not especially privileged be-
cause her crew were Indians. They
have only the same rights as other citi-
zens of the United States. The decree
of the forfeiture of the vessel is ordered

CHICAGO GRAND JURY.
Aldermen Not the Only Persons Con-

Aldermen Not the Only Persons Con-
nected With Doodle transactions.
CHICAGO, March 26.-This afternoon
the grand jury's Doodle investigation
took an unexpected turn, the inquiry
leading away for the time being from
crooked aldermen to members of the
city board of education, Otis Jones,
heating apparatus manufacturer,
wast called upon to explain how
his firm received all the con-
tracts. Jones was under fire but a
few minutes when he tainted. A great
commotion ensued. He soon revived.
His testimony, if true, reflects seriously
on ex-State Senator M. B. Herley, one
of the members of the board
of education, and Banks Cregier,
the son of ex-Mayor Cregier
also on Thomas Jones, clerk, and H.
Goodrich, secretary of the Mascoutah
Kennel club. 1t was claimed that about
$4,000 had been paid Herley and Young
Cregier by the witness to get fat
contracts and to the latter
to have Herley appointed by
Mayor Cregier. Goodrich succeeded
Jones on the witness stand, and de-
clared that Jones's testimony was
maliciously false. The foreman of the
grand jury, Lieb, this evening said he
was not entirely satisfied with the work
of the present grand jury and was sure
there is leak from it. He may recon-
mend calling a special grand Jury.

Suggestions to Congress.
PHILADELPHIA.sM March 26.-A meeting
for the discussion of the Indian ques-
ton was held here tonight. The
speakers were Senator R. F. Pettigrew,
South Dakota; Congressman Brosius,
Pennsylvania; G. F. Mangur, Missouri,
and Bishop Tolberg, Wyoming. A plat
form was adopted advocating the privi-
leges of native born citizens to all Indiaie 4
born in the United States; recommends
ing the abandonment of reservation and
tribal life, and the compulsory educa-
ton of Indian children; advising the
purchase of uncultivated Indian lands
in such proportions that intermixture
with whites would result. and the abol-
ishment of the rates system and dis
tribution of money by the govern
ment where possible declaring
that legal marriages should be
insisted upon, and sales of women pro-
hibited, and condemning theatrical ex-
hibitions of Indians in savage costumes
as demoralizing to the actors and audi
ence. The policy of keeping the Indians
by themselves was pronounced failure,
and congress is asked to take the sugges-
ton embodied in the platform into SER
ious consideration,

Whitman passed away this evening.
He had been weaker than usual for
some days past. He had sinking spell
last night, but recovered somewhat.
Again at 4 80 this afternoon he began
to sink. DR.. Alex McAllister reached
the dying mans bed shortly before the
end. He asked the patient if he suf-
fered any pain, and the aged poet whie-
pered an answer ''No." Three
minutes before his death he said
to an attendant, "The weary shift. =
They were the last words uttered by
Mr.. Whitman. His breathing came
fainter and fainter, aud at exactly
6:43 he passed away. At the
time OF the good grey poets death
his bedside, in humble little
frame cottage, was surrounded by lit
tie group, consisting of Thomas b. Ham
ned, close friend, Horace L. Trabbet,
his secretary, DR.. McAllister and his
housekeeper and faithful male attendant.
The news of his death was cabled I'd
Lord Tennyson and other friends in
England, DR.. Buck, of Ontario, his
biographer, and friends in this country.
Tomorrow plaster cast Of the dead
features will be made.
Whitman left carefully drawn will,
but it's contents will not be made public
until after the funeral ceremony. The
remains of the deceased will be placed in
a resently completed tomb in Havleigh
cemetery, in Camden, a spot selected by
Mr.. Whitman when he was enjoying his
usual health, and where he visited many
times during the construction of the
tomb. No arrangements have yet been
made for the funeral.

Prof. jim Davis objects.

Editor LIGHT: see it is said, that Mr.
r. w. Andrews, was heard to remark yes
terday, that IL is the white excurSioniSt
who do the town some good. Leaving us
to infer that the negro is of no good. In
justice TO my race, | am forced to say,
just such unthoughtful remarks, are
what keeps up this racial feeling that
now exist in this country, by men talking
without knowing Of what they talk.
Now Sir every one who knows any
thing about it at all, that they who
who solicit the negro's patronage, that
he. regardless of nationality, spend his as
free as the whites, though the whites
have had 200 years of his services, and
have in their Golfers the capital OF the
country thereby. j. K. DAVIS:
The LIGHT is of the opinion that Mr..
Andrews has not been correctly quoted
and If he did say what is attributed tC
him, he had no intention of offending
Brother Davis. In personal popularity
and deservedy so, r. w. Andrews stands
at the head Of the list among the TeXa!
