SUBSIDIZED MAIL STEAMERS,
They Have Contracts That the Government
Must Carry Out.


In the forecasts that have been made relative
to the policy Of the new Congress the necessity
has been pointed out by making some reduc-
ton in the expenditures in order to avoid a
deficit. In this connection 1t has been stated
that the recently inaugurated policy Of sub
sidizing mail steamship lines would present an
opportunity for democratic Congress to use
the pruning knife, and il has been claimed that
IT was likely that appropriations for this service
would be refused. 1t is stated at the Post
Office Department that this service so, far as il
is established, is carried on by means Of con-
tracts with the various steamship lines.
FIVE LINES NOW IN OPERATION.
There are Row in operation five subsidized
mail lines plying between ports in this coun-
try ard ports in the South American continent.
The first of next month service will begin on
two additional lines. OF these lines three have
contracts for five years and two for ten years
Next March another contract will go into effect.
and so altogether there will be at the close of
the present administration eight lines carrying
the mails TO foreign ports. Contracts have al
ready been entered into for three more lines ard
two of these are perhaps the most important
OF all the contracts, as they provide for the
carrying of the mails from New York to Ant
werp and Liverpool. This service however,
according TO the contracts, will not begin until
1895. Appropriations have already been made
for the cost of the service on eight of these
lines. which amounts for one year to nearly
1000. 600. 1t is estimated that the cost of the
additional service already contracted for will
amount 20 about 81 SOC, 600 yearly.
THE CONTRACTS ARE LEGAL DOCUMENTS
While the department is dependent on Con-
gress for the money to pay the amounts due
each year specified in these contracts. Yet the
contracts are legal documents and the govern
ment is bound by them. II is claimed that if
Congress should refuse to appropriate the
money that the parties of the second part would
have legal resource in the Court of Claims TO
compel the faithful performance on the part Of
the government of the contracts.

OTTAWA, Nov. 15.-Maj. Sherwood commits
sioner of the dominion police is out on the Paci-
fc coast on mission Of importance in connec-
ton with Boring sea matters. In couple of
months the dispute between Canada and the
United States as to the jurisdiction of
tho latter over seals in Boring sea waters
and the rights of citizens of the dominion
to capture seals on the high seas will be
arbitrated by an international tribunal. Both
sides have expert testimony in support of
their claim, the most important being evil
dence Of experts stationed at convenient
stations for observation of the con-
dltion of seal life, but it is reported that naval
officers of the United States used less open and
honorable methods of cleaning material to COM
bat the Canadian case; that during the early
spring the cutter Corwin visited the
coast Indians, who are usually employed
in Victoria sealing vessels, and by sup
plying them plentifully with whisky secured
their signatures to statements directly damag-
ing to the Canadian contention. These stories,
it is said, were reported to the government
here, but only after persistent statements by
the Victoria sealing interests did the govern
ment decide to take any steps to ascertain the
facts.
A dispatch from Victoria says that Mai.
Sherwood is now on board the government
steamer Quadra cruising along the west coast
Of Vancouver to make inquiries into these re-
ports. The Indians, it is said, stick to the
story that they were really visited by United
States naval officers and induced by the tricky
methods described to subscribe to incorrect
statements damaging to Canadian case.

MIR. PORTER Is GRIEyED
Over the Alleged Misconduct of Messrs
Petrof and Sutherland.


Petrof and Sutherland.
Within the past few DAYS Mr. Porter the su-
perintendent of the census. has been surprised,
not only once. but twice. The first time was
when he heard that Mr. Ivan Petroff a special
agent of his Office, had been juggling some fig
ures that were the property of the State
Department, and the second time when he saw
that Mr.. Sutherland. the chief OF a division in
the Office, had been arrested in Troy, n T.,
charged with being engaged in scheme to keep
democratic voters from the polls. Mr. Porter
was not only surprised but grieved. He con-
sidered that the legitimate work of his Office
occupied fully the time and thought of his en-
ployes, and tina. they had no opportunity TO do
anything else except to tabuiate figures cor
rectly.
In talking with q STAR reporter today Mr..
Porter expressed sorrow over both cases,
although he admitted that he knew nothing
more than what he had seen in the newspapers
He was, however, especially grieved over the case
of Mr.. Petfoff, whom he had always regarded as
an upright. honest man. He cannot yet bring
himself to belieye that Mr. Fetroff is guilty
Mr.. Porter thinks that in all probability his
mind is affected, and he intends to hold TO that
belief until he ia convinced of Mr.. Petroffs
guilt. He has not seen Mr.. Petroff and does not
know where he is, except that he has an
impression that he is sick at home He has
taken no steps in regard to Mr.. Petroff's dis
missal. 1t is stated. however, that Secretary
Noble intends TO ask Superintendent Porter
what he proposes to recommend in
this case. If the Secretary does ask that ques-
ton Mr.. Porter will probably find it difficult to
make a reply unless he has some more
facts. As TO Mr.. Sutherland Mr.. Por-
ter feels badly because he liked the
young man aud is sorry that he is in
trouble. As far rs he is officially aware
Mr.. Sutherland went to his home in
Missouri, and he has no personal facts
to the contrary. Secretary Noble feels
badly, because he knew Sutherland's
father and took an interest in the Young
man. However, if the facts are as stated, it is
probable that Mr.. Sutberlands place viii soon
be vacant

Investigation in Kansas City of Wholesal,
Acknowledgement of Voters.


Disfranchisemcnt of Voters.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 15.-The wholesale
Acknowledgement Of voters in this city last Tues
day by the recorder of voters has resulted in a
combination Of both parties toward fer
reting out pnlpable election frauds.
The republican committee and the citizens
committee, composed of both parties, met last
night and adopted a plan calling on District
Attorney Neal to present the matter to the fed
eral grand jury, now in session. More than 400
affidavits have been secured by the congress
sional committee in addition to the larger
number taken by the county committee. All
these will be presented to the citizens commit
tee, while the United States Attorney General
will be asked to take cognizance of number OF
cases in which the evidence is now ready to
present.
One of the documents which ia ready to file
with the federal government grand jury is list
Of thirty-six deputies appointed by Recorder
Owsiey to poll the precincts and upon whose
evidence the board of revision struck off names.
1t is proposed to begin with the DISTINGUISHED
voters and to trace each name to that point
where it was dropped from the precinct poll
books. then to ascertain whether the recorder,
a clerk or deputy is responsible. and in this
way to definitely determine where the blame
shall rest.
