SPRINGER's CONDITION.
He Is Better, But Is in Constant Danger
of Relapse.

He Is Better, But Is in Constant Danger
of q Relapse.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The condition
of Congressman Springer still continues
favorable. There was but little visible
improvement this morning. The pa
tient is still very much prostrated and
the greatest care Is eing exercised to
prevent a relapse. DR.. Vincent, Spring
er's family physician, arrived this morn
ing and was Immediately called in con-
sultation with the other physicians.
At the conclusion of the examination,
DR.. Vincent said:
"The condition oil Mr.. Springer is very
much improved, and while l might say
he is practically out of danger, yet as
matter of fact mani is not out of danger
in case OF this kind, until he passes
the stage where relapse is possible.
1t will probably be several days before
Mr.. Springer passes that point. He is
80 completely prostrated now that a
very little imprudence or slight mis-
take would cause relapse which might
prove fatal"
During the afternoon Springer slept
quietly, and tonight DR.. Vincent re-
ports his condition unchanged. His
nervous cough is less violent, and his
disposition to sleep peacefully is more
apparent than earlier in the day. The
physician thinks his patient is, if any
thing, better than this morning, though
the case is still critical and will be until
all danger of relapse is passed.

HIS HIP ALL RIGHT.
How the Charge Medical Treatment"
Was Changed to "Drunk."

How the Charge "Medical Treatment
Was Changed to "Drunk."
Friday night the inhabitants OF the
Moffat block, No. 900 East Second street,
heard a crash down the staircase from
the third to the second story, and upon
investigation found H. E. Noble lying
on the bottom porch, where he had ap-
parently fallen.
The man, who appeared very drunk
was groaning dismally, and declared
that he had broken his hip. The patrol
wagon was telephoned for, and Officers
Farmer and Sites with the utmost care
lifted Noble on stretcher, and with
tenderness bore him to the wagon.
Then they drove slowly to the station,
and with the same display of humanity
carried the old man into the receiving
hospital where they laid him on the
operating table.
Noble was booked for medical treat
ment, and Doctors Murphy and Bryant
were telephoned for to reduce the frac-
ture or dislocation, whichever it might
be. In the meantime Mobiles brain
began to clear up, and be wanted
TO geC up. lie was ADVISED
to lie still for fear that he might hurt
himself. He insisted upon standing on
his injured limb and walking about, and
was only kept from accomplishing his
foolish purpose by the combined ply
sical efforts of four men. While he was
being held the doctors arrived and pre-
pared for work. DR.. Murphy approach
ed Noble and tried to calm him, without
success. Eventually, the DOCTORS pa
tience was exhausted, and he told the
men to let the patient 20.
'Just let him try to walk, if he wants
to-" said the doctor. "He'Il get sick of
it coon enough"
Noble was released and to the surprise
and disgust of all hands, he coolly
walked about the hospital. There was
nothing wrong with him. All the ten
derness and sympathy and humanity
had been wasted. The CONSERVATION
only lasted a moment. Noble was
hustled from the hospital to cell, and
the entry on the record was changed
from medical treatment" to plain
drunk"

WASHINGTON, March 5.--The Bering
Bea matter has assumed most serious
phase, and the public officials make no
attempt to disguise their grave concern
at the outcome. 1t was developed today
that Lord salisbury's proposition with
regard to the present season was not
only to open Bering sea, outside of the
thirty-mile zone from the Pribylov
islands, to indiscriminate sealing, but
to limit the catch within that belt, in
cluding, of course, the shores of the
ISLAND, to 1000 seals. In the language
of prominent official this proposition
is ''wholly unfair, arrogant and even in
Hulting to this country
1t is contended by experts that the
opening of Bering sea for one season, in
the manner suggested, would result in
the speedy determination OF the seal
species, and there would be nothing lett
to arbitrate upon.
The news from british Columbia that
the sealing feet is making preparations
for unusually extensive operations this
season, is confirmed at the state depart
ment. 1t has developed that the num-
ber of vessels prepared to engage in seal
ing this year is more than double the
number 80 engaged last year.
Notwithstanding that Bering sea was
closed last year, and patrolled by naval
vessels of Great Britain and the United
States, the catch of the poachers within
its waters aggregated nearly 10000
seals, and it is this fact
that inspires the officials of this govern
ment to the belief that the opening of
the sea to the extent proposed by Lord
Salisbury would inevitably result in the
total destruction of the industry before
next fall, possibly before the question at
issue could even be submitted to arbi-
tration.
1t may be stated as fact that this
government is not at all disposed to al
low this to be done without making a
vigorous and determined effort to prevent
it. Unless Salisbury recedes from his
present position and consents to the re-
newal of last years modus vivendi, re-
stricting the catch of seals to such as
are regarded necessary for the welfare
of the natives, 1t will be necessary for
this government to undertake alone the
protection of the seals by the enforce
ment of the laws bearing on the subject.
It is probable that special meeting
0d the cabinet will be held Monday for
the purpose of considering the subject
and deciding upon the course of action,
should Lord Salisbury insist on his last
prOpOHitiOn.

Dnless Salisbury Changes His Tactics
Serious Complications VIII Ensue.
WASHINGTON, March Sit ia quite
clear from inquiry at the capitol that,
with the exception of few members OF
The house and senate committees on for
eign relations, the senators and repre-
sentatives are in q state OF ignorance as
to the present condition of the negotia-
tions between the United States and
Great Britain respecting the seal fisher
les. 1t is hinted by some members that
unless the British government evinces
disposition to act with fairness in
the matter of the modus vivendi, a treaty
may never be sent to the senate by
the president. While this deplorable
contingency is not believed to be near
at hand, the few congressman informed
as to the exact situation express pri-
yately grave concern at the outlook and
fear if the treaty fails and the conten-
tions between the two nations relative
to the right of their subjects in Bering
Sea revert to the status they occupied at
the beginning of the negotiations sew
'eral years ago, very serious international
complications may be expected.
The discussion of the subject had the
effect of attracting the attention not
only of the general public but ALEC of
enterprising vessel owners, and the
latter, allured by the prospect of large
profits, are making preparations for
moving toward Bering sea in such
numbers as to warrant the belief that
unless the movement is promptly
checked the seal rookeries will be COM
pletely depopulated.
Such members of the foreign rela-
tions committee as are conversant with
the subject are of the opinion that the
United States cannot permit this organ
lied system of poaching to be resumed,
and failing in the effort to secure re-
newal of the modus vivendi the govern
ment will proceed as sool as the season
opens to police the waters of Bering sea
with powerful and effective feet and
seize all poaching vessels, regardless of
nationality or protests OF interested
nations. It is said by some members of
the committee that this will really be
in accordance with the established
diplomatic practice which permits
nation, while its contentious are the
subject of negotiations, to maintain it's
ground until a conclusion is reached,
with the understanding that if the re-
suit OF the negotiations or arbitration is
against it, the nation will be under
obligation to make good any wrong it
may have committed upon the rights of
the subjects of the other nation.

THE PARTISAN CLOAK HOUSE.
The Palatial New Quarters 1t Will
Occupy.

OS~oPys
J. s. Salkey, the talented manager OF
the Partisan Cloak and Suit company,
has been overworked OF late in the labor
OF removing from the quarters which the
company has outgrown to palatial rooms
at 221 South Spring street, where alarge
and we'll lighted double store and base
ment will be occupied by this metropol-
itan institution. "The Parisian" has
always been recognized as leader in
fashions, and in its new quarters will be
most fittingly housed The show rooms
are most artistically decorated and fres-
coed, presenting an appearance which
is more than satisfactory to the culti-
waited eye. The rooms are lined with
magnificent show cases with rich glass
fronts, and are provided with patent
rollers for the display of the splendid
wraps, cloaks and attire for which the
house is noted, and which obviates all
exposure to dust.
The establishment is provided with
numerous handsome triplicate cheval
glasses, and every comfort for patrons,
including a room where lady visitors
can rest or wait for friends. This is fur
nished in a very rich style, and is pro-
vided with writing desks and material
for correspondence, new feature in this
city.
In the rear of the main room is
richly decorated private office
for Mr.. j. s. Salkey, the man who con-
ducts and animates the establishment,
and adjoining are two well.appointed
fitting rooms, where the last touches to
the bewilderingly fascinating garments
will be given.
In the basement, Madame G. A. Dodd.
the executive head of the dress making
department will preside over twenty
dressmakers for whom the place has
been most comfortably arranged as a
workshop.
Already, yesterday, some enticingly
beautiful wraps and coats had been
placed in position in the show cases, such
as no husband or father could resist
buying for a pleading wife or daughter.
Mr.. Salkey is the only cloak man in
Southern California who keeps little
ahead of the times. Twice a year he
makes a trip to the eastern fashion CEN
ters, and there purchases the very lat
est productions of the masters of the art
On Thursday the rooms will be thrown
open the patrons of the place, when it is
certain the company will find it's trade
increased, as it so richly deserves.

n Single Open Season Will Exterminate

New YORK, March 5.-The Herald's
Washington man saw and asked Profes-
sor Elliott, recognized authority OF the
life and habits of the seal, who spent
many seasons in Bering sea as a govern
ment agent investigating the whole
matter, to give a statement as to the
effect of the English ultimatum. The
professor said:
''If the alleged ultimatum is true, the
ruin and determination OF the fur seal
is at hand. Unless the modus vivendi
is renewed, poachers will kill practically
all the seals left on the islands. Shutting
the pelagic feet out thirty miles, would
not prevent sealers from getting as good
a chance to kill the nursing seal mothers
as though the poachers were allowed to
hunt within three miles of shore. One
hundred and twenty vessels, manned by
1000 men, next summer will destroy the
herd without going within fifty miles OF
the island. The pups will starve and
there win not be enough seals left to

ON SHORT RATIONS.

An Appropriation Wanted for the Ma
tives in the Seal Islands.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The acting
secretary Of the treasury today trans
mitted to congress a communication
from Special Agent Williams, in charge
of the seal islands o. Alaska, asking an
appropriation of $4,000 to furnish food,
fuel, clothing, etc., necessary during the
ensuing year to prevent suffering and
destitution among the natives. This
suffering, Williams says, is due to the
failure Of the supply of killable seals
during 1890 and '9l, the people being
forced now to get along with only about
one-sixteenth of their former supplies.

Topeka, Kan, March 5.-The supreme
court handed down today decision in
the quo warranto proceedings of d. X.
Horton and others against E. Wilder
and others. The parties to the suit are
stockholders in the San Diego Land
company, incorporated under the laws
OF Kansas, but doing business in Cali
fornia. The decision upholds the Kan
sas law, providing that at least three
directors of every corporation in
corporated under the laws of
Kansas, shall be citizens Of
Kansas. Two factions were contesting
for the control of the corporation, and
the ballot for directors resulted in the
election of eleven nonresident directors.
The chairman declared that three resi-
dents of Kansas were elected, notwith-
standing the vote, and eight non-resi-
dents of Kansas who had been elected
but were forced to give way under the
decision of the chairman, instituted pro-
'ceedines, but the court held that they
were not entitled to relief under the
laws. The capital stock of the company
was $2,000,000.

Congress-" Elliott continued,
''should ascertain at once whether this
proposition of Salisbury is final or not.
If it is, bill should be passed immed
ately repeating the law preventing the
killing Of female seals on the islands.
If Canadian and American poachers are
to be allowed to kill the female seals
within thirty miles of the islands. the law
abiding Americans on the islands ought
to be allowed a chance to get their
share. The poachers will pay the gov
ernment nothing, but for every seal
killed on the island the government gets
tax of $40. This money should form
fund for the maintenance of the un-
fortunate natives on the seal islands,
