a Sealing Schooner " Monkeys" With the
L. $. :. Mohican.
SEATTLE, Wash, Oct THE sealing
schooner Willard Ainsworth has returned
from her maiden sealing cruise, which
netted her $50 skins. The Ainsworth had
an exciting brush with the L. s. S.
Mohican on May 25 Last year the terms
of the modus vivendi We're that any
schooner leaving port before the agreement
had been made, and not being warned,
could not be seized for taking seals in the
Behring sea Nearly for the schooners this
year left port before the new modus vivendi
had been signed, and did not know that it
provided for seizure in the sea whether or
not warning had been given.
Did Some Very Neat Dodging.
Consequently every schooner that sighted
a man-of-war tried to get away without
warming On the day mentioned, when
somewhere to the southwest of Middleton
island, the Ainsworth sighted the Mohican
and clapped on all sail to escape. The
cruiser gave chase, and with steam and sail
overlook her. When shewas almost along
side, the Ainsworth put about and got away
some minutes before the Mohican coul get
around, but when she did she bore down
on the schooner very fast. The Ainsworth
went about and got away again.
Sent Some Iron Messengers.
The commander of the cruiser then evil
IDENTIFY lost lSs temper, for a gun was run
ont forward. This time when she came
within hailing distance she commenced
blazing away. Five shots We're fired, and
then Captain Cantillion concluded to stop.
No damage was done to the vessel, the
shots whistle6 through the rigging. Ensign
Harrison, nephew of President Harrison,
boarded the schooner and served official
warning to keep out of the sea.

Ledger's operation were betrayed by
letter to the postoffice department from
Egan, Tex, enclosing a certificate with
seal of the supreme court in chancery, sent
him by Leger purporting to confirm his
title to an estate in England and reciting
that "Joseph Leger, now in America, is
commanded to notify the interested party
and after receiving the tax on legacies and
bequests, to issue possession papers and re-
port to the court at once" The amount Of
tax in United States money is fixed at S35,
which sum and power of attorney was asked
by Leger. The whole thing is a fraud and
Leger has disappeared.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The House
bv vote of llS TO l07 decided in favor
of the Worlds Fair appropriation, but
the opponents of the appropriation de-
clined to give in and moved for a recon-
sideration, and then began iillibustering
To prevent vote being taken on that
motion. 1t is claimed that about fifty
members of the House have agreed To
keep up the fillibustering until major
ity of the entire House shall vote for the
appropriation, or the Senate shall agree
to adjourn without its being passed. A
majority Of the entire House will not
vote for the appropriation, because many
of them are away and will not return
for that purpose, and the Senate will
not agree To adjourn until this appropri-
alton is agreed to by the House. The
fllibusters are blufling very bravely, but
it is not believed that they will have the
backbone to actually carry out their
threats, and the prediction is made that
before this letter is in print they will
have weakened and the appropriation
have been made.

the National banks have in the House.

ject for discussion, and the Senators
spouted away just as the session had
just began and .he weather was perfectly
comfortable. Senator Aldrich opened
the ball with long speech and an able
one, too, in favor of protection, and
pointing out the decrease in the cost of
living, as shown by the report of the
committee, which he said had made its
investigation free from partisanship, and
the greater earnings Of Americans, as
compared with Europeans. Senator Vest
was the next to make set speech. His
speech consisted of a general attack on
the protective system, rather than an
answer TO Senator Aldrich's statements,
Senator Carlisle having announced his
intention to reply TO so much of it. rs
referred to the investigation by the
committee, of which he was member.
The feature Of Mr.. Vests speech that
attracted the most attention was his as
sertion that under the protective system
agricultural lands had steadily decreased
in value, an assertion which was denied,
so far us il concerned their States, by a
number of Republican Senators, includ-
ing the two Republicans who voted
against the Mckinley bill in the Senate

comptrollers, was not altogether satisfac-

known against that gentleman, but be-
cause the peculiar circumstances sur
rounding the examinations of several of
the big National banks of Philadelphia

SAYS the Phenix Gazette: Tom Reid says the fight is to be made on the tariff issue, whether the Repub- lican party likes it or not. The question of liking belongs for set clement to the men who furnish the campaign funds. The Republican campaign funds are raised, some from the office-holders, but mostly from the benefciaries of high tariff, These are the ones to say what the issue shall be, and therefore Reid is right in declaring the fight will be made on the tariff issue, "wheth- CT the Republican party likes it or not"

Graham is all Right.

Robert Morgan came in from Tonto Basin last night, having &C., companied Tom Graham and Chas Duchet within twenty miles of Phe- nix with a drove of beef cattle that Graham is bringing in from his Pleasant valley ranch to put on pasture near Tempe. They will ar rive in that town this evening.
 In regard to trouble in Pleasant valley, Mir. Morgan said there had been none, but that every one thought there would be when it was known that Tom Graham was in the valley, for it had been said that his enemies would kill him on sight should he ever make his ap- pearance in that. vicinity. 1t seems however, these enemies were not as anxious, for his gore as they had pretended, for when Graham and Duchet rode up to several of them in a crowd and stated that they had come to gather cattle, and if they wanted to raise a row, they were ready. None of them seemed to want anything out of the two and it Is said, stated that they were will ing to consider the war over. Any way Graham went ahead and gath cred his beef cattle and was not troubled.
 The Pleasant valley war between the Tewksberrys and the Graham s in which all the Graham boys ex- cept Tom, and a number of the Tewksberry boys were killed, is still in the memories of the citizens of Arizona, and when it was learned that Tom Graham had gone up there short time ago, after an absence of four years, in the face ot the threat that if ever he returned he would be killed, they were willing to believe any kind of report of trouble, and when some one started the report on the street Monday that trouble had commenced many people believed it. Who started the report is not known.

AN Examiner reporter recently interviewed the large wholesale and importing houses on Sansome and Battery streets, San Francisco. as to their choice between Cleveland and Harrison. Almost every one of them declared their intention of supporting Cleveland, though they had heretofore been staunch Re- publicans, Gave as their reason for changing their political opin- ions, that the Mckinley bill was in- turing their business. One of the merchants who had just returned from the East, said the same feel ing existed among the wholesale and importing houses of New York City. Yet the Republicans claim that a protective tariff builds up the business of the country and brings general prosperity. Heavy business men of two of our most important commercial cities appear to think different. Who are the more competent judges-practical men engaged in business or politi- cal theorists?
