The Patrol Squadron Of Revenue Cutters
Kept Busy.
San Francisco, July 27.-Advices from
Bering sea are TO the effect that the patrol
squadron OF the United States revenue cutters
and cruisers, besides chasing seal poachers, are
breaking up the lucrative industry Of hunting
sea offers. The steam schooner Jennie and the
schooners Kodisck and Lettie, owned by the
Alaska Commercial Company Of San Francisco.
have been seized by the Mohican and sent with
their crews to SitkR. The native hunters werc
allowed to go home.
This course surprises the whites and alarms
the natives. This industry, now prohibited,
Furnished the sole support Of the Aleutian In
dians. Without it they must have government
aid or starve.
Rumors from the west reach Sitka Of exciting
events in the chase Of seal poachers The
schooner Willard Ainsworth was searched by
the Mohican and allowed to proceed The
Mohican is now at Port Etches, in Prince Will
lam sound, watching the movements of the
poachers which had rendezvoused there
Fighting Bob Evans discovered the plan and
checkmated it by seizing the Coquillan. The
sealers are in q bad plight They have big
cargoes of skins and dare not try to ship them
To take them back into Bering sea would mean
the loss Of vessels and skins SO there is nothing
left but to 60 to Victoria and miss the rest OF
the season.

Some time ago The STAR published an ana
lytical statement as to the population of Home
stead. The figures quoted therein were abso-
lutely correct, but information received subs
sequently has made It apparent that the ground
covered by that statement was much smaller in
area than that occupied by the steel workers
who, prior to July b, were employed by the
Carnegie Company at the Homestead plant.
The borough .pf Homestead reaches its eastern
limit at the city poor-farm fence. large num-
Der OF the strikers reside within the borough,
but O greater number have their homes at Mum
hall and other closely connected suburbs not
within the corporate bounds of Homestead.
As the majority Of those who live outside Of the
borough are Of foreign birth ii is but fair to
give all the figures 30 that any misapprehehsious
may be corrected. In Homestead are the
stores, the chu riches and the Offices Of the pro-
fessienal men, and there is naturally a prepond-
erance Of native born. Outside of Homestead
the majority Of foreign born is very large. The
total population Of Mifain township, which for
al practical purposes ID nothing more than
Homestead, is II, Ia, and the total number Of
forelgn-born and native white Of foreign par-
entage is 7.172. OF foreign-born males eigh-
teen years Of age and over there are Its. Of
native-born males from the same age limit there
are ,747. Aprecise division Of the native and
foreign born in the total population shows that
in the former classification there are 1888 (78
OF them colored), IN the latter S,6l9.

THE DISTRICT REFORM SCHOOL.

Estimates for the Next Fiscal Year Submitted
by President Falls.
President A. ]. Falls of the reform school has
submitted an estimate of the amount required
for the proper conduct Of that institution dur
ing the next fiscal year.
The estimates for supplies is put at
$26,00O which is the same as last year, al
though he says the number Of inmates has
largely increased.
The school az now established, he continues,
is intended to accommodate not more than $50
inmates. 1t now averages over 200, and the in
stitution is crowded beyond the requirements
OF health. convenience and proper discipline
He says further that he il almost daily called
upon by parents of boys, but is unable to COM
NIT them for want Of room. He has been
obliged to notify the judges Of the Police Court
that the school is full and no more boys could
be received.
In this connection an additional family build
ing is estimated for at a cost Of go. 600. I'm
less this building is provided he says a large
number of small boys must be committed to
the Jail and work house. us is now the case. An
appropriation of $500 additional il asked for
the pay Of the teachers, as the sum Of e3.5O0
fixed some years ago is totally inadequate.
The other estimates are the same as last year,
for which no appropriation was made, and
everything asked for, he says, Is absolutely
necessary for the health, convenience and
proper management of the school
President Falls also urges a change in the
law with reference to the proceeds Of the labor
OF the inmates Of the institution, which are
now turned into the treasury OF the United
States. II this be done, he says there will be
greater incentive to. larger income of this
character to the school. They would raise
larger crops by the expenditure Of more
money, which they would have from this
source, increase the workshops in the same
manner and thus be able to reduce their annual
estimates OF appropriations.
II Congress would give them permission to
use this money for such purposes as repairs,
Improvement and enlargement Of the outer
buildings, roads and grounds and for other
purposes they would not have to call upon Com
gress for many things which they do now. The
amount, he says, is not large, and would not be
missed from the treasury. As it is now if they
attempt to raise a greater revenue it must be
paid into the treasury and they must ask Con-
gress for more money to do 20. But by using
the money that they will earn IN this way for
this purpose they will be able to add to their
income without any additional expense to the
government. besides employing more boys in
useful occupations.
