Uncle Sam Wants to Know What Il to Be
Done About Bering Sea.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Aeting Secre-
tary Wharton was to-day instructed to in
form Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
Minister, that the President desires to
know, at as early date as possible, the in
tention of the British Government with re-
gard to the proposed renewal of the modus
vivendi of last year for the preservation of
the seal fisheries pending the settlement by
arbitration of the question of the jurisdic-
tional rights of the United States in Bering
Sea. The British Minister was requested
to call Lord Salisbury's attention to Mr..
Wharton's note of the 8th instant, insisting
on the necessity of the modus vivendi, with
the suggestion that the President would
like to have a response as soon as possible
IN order that he might act understandingly
in the matter.
The Presidents desire for speedy action
is said to be due to the fact that it is essen
tial that he should know promptly whether
Great Britain will cooperate in keeping
the sealers out of Bering Sea, as otherwise
the execution Of that duty falling on the
United States will necessitate the making
of arrangements that can scarcely be
effective unless completed at an early day.
The character of the instructions to our
naval and revenue vessels destined for duty
in Bering Sea this season will depend al
most altogether on the attitude to be as
sumed by Great Britain, and as these ves-
sells will have to be in the vicinity of tie
sea by the first of May, it will be seen there
is very little time to spare in preparations

The Democratic Caucus Committee Organ
izing for Political Work: Purely.
WASHINGTON, March 16. - Especial. J.
Thus far only Is names have been handed to
the Chairman of the Democratic Caucus
Committee for assignment to duty on the
Congressional Campaign Committee. At
the caucus held few nights ago it was
agreed that the various State delegations
should make their own choice and give the
names of the gentlemen selected to the
Chairman of the caucus, Judge Holman.
The selections already made are as follows:
Utah, John T. Caine; Montana, William
Writ Dixon; Delaware, John William
Causey; New Mexico, Antonio Joseph;
Arizona, NJ. A. Smith; Nebraska, w. j.
Bryan; Louisiana, S. M. Robertson; Penn
sylvania, William Mutchler; Wisconsin,
j. L. Mitchell; West Virginia, j. D. Alder
son; Texas, J. w. Bailey; Illinois, W. s.
Forman South Carolina, George Johnstone.
1t is expected that the other State delega-
next week, so the House Committee can
notify the members of the Senate who are
to act Jointly with them in planning the
coming campaign.
Judge Holman says the Joint Congress
sional Committee cannot be regarded as q
steering committee in any sense of the
term, so far as legislation is concerned; the
committee has nothing to do with pending
or probable legislation Its duties are con-
fined to making arrangements for the COM
ing campaign, the distribution of public
documents and other campaign ma
terial So far as the business of the
House is concerned, Judge Holman says,
he expects all the appropriation bills to be
before the House by the 10th of next month,
which is an earlier period than ever before.
While the tariff discussion is in progress
the various committees of the House are at
work, hence the present debate is helping
the legitimate business Of the House rather
than retarding 1t. He does not anticipate
the general appropriation bills and the tariff
and free silver bills.

A foung Congressman Wins His Spurs
With One Tariff Speech.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-[ Special J.
William Jennings Bryan, the young Demo
cratic leader from Nebraska, whom Speaker
Crisp placed on the Ways and Means Com
mittee against the protest of large element
of the House, distinguished himself to-day
by making the ''star" speech of the present
session on the tariff question. Mr.. Bryan
astonished his associates and the occupants
of the crowded galleries by an exhibition of
finished oratory seldom witnessed in the
halls of Congress. He is but 80 years old,
tall, well-built, with a clean-shaven face,
and jet black hair. Charlie O'Neill, the
'Father of the House." as he is called, saws
Mr.. Bryan looks something like the late
Samuel jackson Randall looked 25 years
ago.
Mr.. Bryan was given two hours to speak,
but when that time elapsed there was gen.
eral chorus of "Go onv' go onp' from both
sides OF the House. Members fingered in
their seats, and the spectators remained in
the galleries until 5:30 o'clock, so intent
were they in hearing the young orator from
the West. Not only was he logical, but he
was practical, and .%on for himself place
among the House orators beside the silver
tongued Breckinridge, of Kentucky, and
the clarion. voiced Henderson, of Iowa.

A SUCCESSFUL TEST OF CELLUL0SE

ESPECIAL rFLEGRAM TO THE prsrArcH.t
WASHINGTON, March 16.-Just before
the Senate adjourned this afternoon, Sena-
tor Hoar, who has charge of the pending
judicial nominations, gave notice to his Re-
publican friends, in executive session. that
he wanted them all to be on hand to-mor-
row, as he proposed to try and force vote
on the confirmation of Judge Woods. He
said there was no point to the Iong-winded
speeches on the subject of open executive
sessions, with which certain Senators were
occupying the time of the Senate, and he
wants a decision tomorrow.
Judge Woods nomination will be con-
frmed, without doubt. Thus far the alle-
cations made against Judge Woods have
been less sensational than was expected,
although it is said Senators VOORHEES, and
Turpie have held back many of their
strongest statements, hoping that the doors
of the Senate might be thrown open and
their utterances given to the public.
The executive session lasted until 8
o'clock to-day, Senators Voorhees, and
George again occupying the greater portion
Of the time in discussing the question of
open executive sessions. Senator Hoar in
timated that the Democrats were trying to
repeat their force bill tactics for political
effect, but the Democrats insisted that they
were simply endeavoring to throw some
light upon very dark judicial character.
Senator Hoar was in favor of forcing a
vote this afternoon, but at late hour Sena-
tor Turpie, of Indiana, stated that while he
had no intention of unnecessarily delaying
consideration, he had some additional
points which he would like to present to-
morrow. An unsuccessful effort was made
to get the Democrats to agree to take vote
tomorrow at B o'clock.

THE LONG LIST OF AWARDS ANNOUNCED

The second day of the dog show was at
tended by we'll up to 10000 people, and as
much, if not more, canine music than the
first day, the great drawback to the latter
being its sameness. The poor dogs either
did not know or were too tired after the
first days carnival to rehearse the latest
works of the masters. At any rate, the
overture, and. in fact, the whole musical
programme, was the same, with the excep-
tion that the chorus was larger.
Yesterday pleasant afternoon brought
the people out. A line of carriages reaching
far past the frontage of the Auditorium was
drawn up, and people of every walk of life
viewed, talked about and patted the many
"barkers."
Adored by tho Fair Ones.
1t was not an uncommon sight to see a
richly dressed lady gently caressing the
head of q huge ST. Bernard or an ugly pug
and pouring loving epithets upon it.
Indeed there was so much of the latter that
had the fortunate dogs been men, there
would have been hundreds of divorce suits.
The greatest attractions seemed to be the
mastiffs and st. Bernards The crowd
which gathered around the kennels of these
species was immense. The big fellows
seemed to be unmindful of their many ad-
mirers. For the most part they laid with
their noses buried beneath their fore paws
and snoozed, with one eye open. Occasion

A Chicago Banker Forced to Assign In
Order to Avoid Litigation.
CHICAGO, March 16.-Michael Schweis-
thai, banker, Election Commissioner and
former City Treasurer, failed to-day. At
2:3O o'clock voluntary assignment was
made in the county court to John Lane
hart. The assets are placed at $40, 900; the
liabilities at $4,000.
The suspension was directly caused by
the collapse of Boehm & Co., Wholesale
liquor dealers, of Denver, one of whose
partners killed himself yesterday. Through
Chicago houses Mr.. Schweisthal had become
deeply involved with Boehm & Co. He had
discounted large amounts of their paper,
and the assignment this afternoon was de-
cided on as the only means Of ayerting
run and disastrous litigation. In addition
to the Denver complication Mr.. Schweis-
thai is said to have speculated heavily in
real estate, and it is estimated that he has
SIS, 900 worth of real estate equities which
at best will shrink considerably on an
attempt to realize.

TWO RAILROADS MADE ONE.

The Deal Expected for Several Days Takes
Place, in the Consideration Of the Rich
mond Terminal and Richmond and
NEW YORK, March 16-Important meet
ings of the Richmond Terminal and Rich
mond and Danville Railroads were held to-
day, and the Developments which have been
expected for sometime transpired. John
Inman resigned his position as President Of
the Terminal and Danville Companies; R.
T. Wilson resigned as director of the
Richmond Terminal, and s. M. 1nman re-
signed as directer of the Richmond and
Danville Then Walter G. Oakman was
elected president of the Richmond Terminal
and Richmond and Danville Companies;
John H. Inman was elected to succeed r. 7.
Wilson as director of the Terminal, and
H. c. Fahnestock, the vice president Of the
First National Bank, was elected di-
rector of the Danville in place of S. M. In
man.
After these changes had been made, the
report of the Reorganization Committee
was read and adopted. 1t provides for the
formation of q new company, to be known
as the Southern Railroad Company"
with s170, 900, 900 per cent bonds, $40, 000,-
900 preferred stock and S110, ,000, 900 common
stock. The plan provides for the exchange
of all the securities of the Richmond aud
Danville and East Tennessee, companies,
but makes no provision for taking up the
securities of the Georgia Central Company.
The total fixed charges under the new plan
amount to 81, CSC, 900 against net earnings
last year of SS,74,736.
The expenses will be decreased and the
net earnings increased greatly by the unfit
cation of the system. A syndicate, headed
by Hallgarten & Co., has been formed to
provide for S14, ,5SS 600 necessary to insure
the success of the plan, but the stockhold-
ers and bondholders will be given the priv
ilege to subscribe for the new securities on
terms that will make the rights very val
liable.

the Dover district, and ministers who feel
aggrieved at the conduct of churches in that
district, where half the clergy have been in
turmoil on Wilson's account for months
past. Charges and counter-charges growing
out of these controversies have been pre-
pared in abundance.
The charges against Wilson embody po-
litical hypocrisy, corrupt administration,
nsss lying and ssRonas hs Among the
risy" head are complaints that Wilson vim
dicated the personal conduct Of Governor
Reynolds during the campaign and that he
recommended Ezekiel T. Cooper, of Dover,

Drive Men Away,
NEW ORLEANS, March 16.-r Special J.
Some excitement has been created in Sill
dell, in St. Tammany Parish, La, by the
efforts of certain men employed in the lum-
Der mills of that town to force all non-resi-
dent laborers away from there. A petition
asking them to leave, and containing num-
Der of vague threats in case they did not,
has been in circulation among the en-
ployes for some days past and was signed
by many of them.
This had such an effect on the non-resi-
dents that a number of timid ones left.
Many negroes from the nelghboring States
OF Mississippi and Alabama emigrated The
white non-residents, however, refused to
leave, armed themselves and declared their
purpose to act on the defensive and resist
all attacks on them if any efforts were made
to force them out of the conutry. The atti-
tude they have assumed will, it is thought,
check the efforts of the bulldozers, who are
not numerous, and will prevent any trouble
from occurring There are several hundred
men employed in the mills there and a
large proportion are non-residents who have
moved in lately from neighboring States.
