The combination has been in active exis-

OF coal prices, which is to increase the cost
of manufacturing in all the Eastern States,
the price OF manufactures for the whole
country and the cost of living for the peo-

this disturbance Of business aud misfortune

Speedy Examination.
CHEYENNE, Wyo, April Ex-Governor
Barber Las written letter to the Prose
cutting Attorney of Johnston County re-
gardiDg the prisoners delivered by military
officials. In the letter he says it is due TO the
administration of law that the attorney
make such investigation as is deemed
proper with all diligence, and institute in
the District Court appropriate criminal
roceedings, in order that those against
whom there exists no criminal accusation
may be released, and that those against
whom criminal accusations shall be made
may at once be diligently prosecuted for
whatever crimes or violations of law may
have been committed by them.
The Governor says that the conditions
recently existing in the county have been
OF such character as to necesSitate calm
and fair, but very earnest efforts on the
part OF the authorities to maintain law
and order and keep all attempts
and proceedings to punish offenders en-
tirely within channels defined by law. The
prisoners confined at Fort Russell will be
delivered to the civil authorities whenever
the status of the prosecution in the judy

TO EVADE THE MODUS.
The Seal Poachers Threaten to Sail Under
German and Other Flags

German and Other Flags
VICTORIA. B. G., April 25 The United
States survey steamer Patterson, accom-
panied by the steamer Macarthur, is ex-
pected in the morning from Port Town
send. ostensibly en- route to Southern Alaska
for survey duty, but supposed to be for
Bering Sea.
The British bark Lizzie Bell, which put
into CGquinfbo on account of sickness of the
captain and mate, arrived in Esquimalt
yesterday afternoon. She made the trip in
62 days. The captain, who was paralyzed,
was left at Coquimbo, and the mate will go
to the marine hospital.
ApropOs to a renewal of the modus VII
vendi for two years, Captain Cox, promi-
nent sealer, said that if the modus is
enforced for two years the only way for
many sealerS is to sell to representatives
of other nations. Representatives from
Germany and Italy would probably be here
shortly to take the sch0oners over and send
them &c Berlng Sea under other flags.
W. b. Hall says that what sealers want
Is to get other nations intere sted, as, if Eug-
land would not protect Sealers, perhaps
other nations would do SO, if the sealers
were flying their flags. Last year one of
the sealing captains asked the commander
of an American cutter If be would seize a
schooner flying the German flag? NO"
said the commander. MY orders are only
to warn or seize British or American schoon-
ers."
Owners of schooners are therefore of the
opinion that II vessels fly foreign flags they
will not be prevented from sealing, and
then all the principal nations of the world
will be interested in the question. Ii this
cannot be attained the SchOoners will have
10 do the best they can in Bering Sea and
then go out for half the season next year
All the sealers, with the exception of two or
three, are fitted out for Bering Sea and
many are about ready to enter, so that if
warning reaches them before they get
catch it will come hard on many owners,
some of whom have every cent they pos
sess in the vessels. The sehooners here
and those which receive warning early will
probably go right over to the Russian coast.
Ii the Government does not change the
modus before next spring, it Is almost an
assured fact that GO British schooners hail
ing from Victoria will sail under foreign
flags and look to foreign Governments for
nrOtection

SEATTLE, April 25.-Another sensational
phase IN the Radoff case was developed to-
day in the arrest of DIR. Frank r. Ballard
of Fremont, a suburb Of Seattle. The arrest

ance companies. For his aid he was TO re-
ceive $4,000. The police are close on the
