Very Smooth Work Done by a Canadian
Police Commissioners.
OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 19.-Major Sher-
wood, commissioner of the Dominion po-
lice, has returned from the Pacific coast
after an absence of two months. He
has been collecting evidence in con-
frmation Of the position of Canada In
the Bering sea controversy. For three
weeks Major Sherwood was among the
Indians of the Queen Charlotte islands.
from whom, it is said, officers of the
United States navy obtained evidence
favorable to the American caee by the
exercise of unfair means of persuasion. 1t
is said important evidence bearing upon
this phase of the difficulty was there
obtained by the commissioner. A
month ago Sherwood left Victoria for
San Francisco; there he prosecuted his
mission with such secresy that not until
the day following his departure was any
intimation OF his business made public.
San Francisco is headquarters of the
United States sealing fleet, and in the
furtherance of his inquiries within the
precincts of the Golden Gate, Sher-
wood obtained, it is said, number of
affidavits from American sealing cap
tains corroborating Canada's contention.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The treasury
department was kept fully and prompt
ly advised OF the progress OF the stocA
market in New York today, and secre-
tary Foster was in conference with Dis
assistants several times upon the situa-
ton. After the department. cioseo'
Assistant Secretaries Gear, Spaulding
and Lambertson gathered IN the secre.
tarv,s room and discussed the events OF
the day, The secretary said, in answer
to a question based on the report print
ed in New York that he was much ex-
cited over the matter and intended 70
90 to New York to consult New fork
bankers: II am not going to New YORK
to confer with bankers or anyone else
about the financial situation. The idea
had not previously occurred to me-.
GAS to the cold in the treasury" con-
tinued the secretary, I'VE are all rlgnt.
Last month the exports from this coun-
trv amounted to s7.000,000, but the
treasury lost $500,000 only. The re,
eerye limit is fixed at $l00, 900, 600 and l
have $24, 100000 more than that. Inc
resources of the country are greater ana
more vsrid than most people know, and
the money paid by the treasury Tor gold
can be used for replacing the amount
sold. Money is needed west and south to
buy grain, provisions and cotton, ana II
can save q man $500 or $500 on 81 600,
600, he does not stop at giving me goid
in New York for the currency laid down
for him whenever he wants IT,.
If they get us down IN TINS
matter, it will he only after long light
and a hard one. If it were not Tor the
scare that seems inevitable in connec-
tion with the shipments OF gold abroad,
it would not be such bad thing after
all. The balance OF trade in our favor Is
at the rate of $4,000 month, and the
gold will certainly find its way BACK
here. Last month we shipped more
provisions abroad than ever before, and
/ believe the showing for December will
be as good. We have nearly SOU, ,00O, ,O0O
of gold in the United States. Ii $780,
1000 was to go out it would result IN
a reduction o. our public debt to that
extent, with the accompanying saving OF
interest on that amount. l am not at
all uneasy regarding the situation"
Then the secretary and Mr.. Gear tell
to exchanging observations on the pros
porous condition of the country shown
in the purely agricultural portions, not
ably Iowa, Governor Gears own state.
With these consoling reflections fresh
in their minds, the secretary and hle
assistants separated, the former Ieiter-
ating his statement that he intended to
manage the affairs OF the department as
it's active head until his term, expired, f,
and had no doubt of his ability to main
tain ct it's present figure the gold re-
serve in the treasury.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
The Supreme Court Dismisses a Harbol
Line Appeal.

The Supreme Court Dismisses a Harbor
Line Appeal.
WASHINGTON. Dec. l9.-The important
case OF Henry L. Yesler, plaintiff in err
ror, vs.. the Board Of Harbor Lines COM
missioners of the state of Washington,
involving hsrbor rights OF great value
along the water front of Seattle. was to-
day dismissed by the United States su-
preme court for want OF Jurisdiction.
Yesler is the owner of wharf property
at Seattle and aought by a writ of pro-
hibition to restrain the state board Of
harbor lines commissioners from
changing the harbor lines, it be-
ing the purpose OF the commits
sion to so locate the harbor
lines that they would include within
them Yealer's property. Yesler claims
that this action would amount to his
deprivation of property without due
process OF law, contrary to the constitu
tion. The court below decided against
him, holding that as against the state
littoral owner, simply as such owner,
can assert no valuable rights below the
line of ordinary high tide. The supreme
court dismissed Yesler's appeal chiefly
on the ground that the affidavit pre-
Eented was so defective as not fairly to
raise federal question. Chief Justice
Fuller announced the decision.
