satisfy every one with the result that the

the merchants called the ''short end of

was thought to be the recommendation
that Americans should not be allowed
control OF seals except in their own terri
torial waters. How the United States
was to patrol waters and protect properts
belonging to others was a problem, and
the right appeared to have been thrown
out as a sop without value to national
vanity.

foundation wall. But, as the SEQUEL
shows, c. Y. 5. Gibbs had not forgotten,
and It was found very near the spot he had
designated.
One of the workmen was bnsily engaged
in tearing out The brick foundation wall on
just at the northeast corner of the build
Ing, almost directly under the pulpit of
the old church, he removed the block of
granite containing the copper box. The
wOrkman's pick struck under the corner
of the lid, and he pried it up before he
knew what he had found, and through the
aperture thus made some of the papers in
the box could be seen. and they looked a.
fresh and new as il they had been de-
posted there but day before. None that
could be seen showed any signs of age.
nor were they di5colored IN any way.
The following articles were placed in
the box at the time the stone was laid,
and which will no doubt be found when
the box is opened: Holy bible and
prayer-book, church almanac for 1866
journal of the general convention and of
the diocesan convention, an abstract of
the history of Trinity parish from the
commencement to date, daily. secular and
church papers OF current date. and coins
of the United States issued in 1866, and
bearing the motto, ''InGod We Trust"
The box is of copper, about 8 by 16
inches. aud 3 inches deep. The inside of
the box is bright and new. and shows no
effects. though twenty-seven years have
passed since it last saw the light of day.
The members of the parish are delighted
at the discovery, particularly those who
were dresent when the box was put away,
and especially since the box had not been
found for so long that it was feared that it
had been stolen.
stone was found within three feet OF the
bottom of the foundation
'Of course. | am glad that 1t is foun J."
said c. V. 5. Gibbs, one of the few people
who saw the box when it was new. 1--WE
respect anything that is old, you know,
but we can only revere thing which is so
intimately connected with the church that
we love. Here are records which have
been kept from the very beginning. and
they will be treasured in the new church,
because they are the connecting links
which bind us 10 old Trinity and TO the
two churches which preceded.

the spot. | remember that day too we'll,
and / can almost see again the ceremonies

The box was delivered to Mr.. Gibbs i'm
mediately after it was found, and by him
it was sent 10 Major Hooper. the senior
warden of the parish, and In whose posses

the box will hot be opened until meeting

be opened, and the members of the parish
will have an opportunity to see what has
laid underneath the ehancel during all
these years."

FOUND AT LAST.
Old Trinity's Records Are
Discovered.
IN A BLOCK OF GRANITE.
One of the Last Acts i'm the Destruc-
tion of House of Prayer That
Was Famous.

On the afternoon of Friday, November 9.
1866, Bishop Kip struck the cornerstone of
old Trinity three times with his silver
trowel, and the stone with its box of pre-
cious records and relics was lowered to its
place in the wall. where for almost twenty
seven years it had laid updisturbed. until
the pick of a workman buried itself in a
corner of the box just after noon yester-
day.
The treasure had been found. for though
not intrinscally valuable, the contents
were highly priced. for they could not be
replaced, and if they had not been found
link of Trinity parish's history would have
been lost.
No small amount of interest has been
felt in the box during the past few weeks,
owing partly to the fact that, although
there are several persons who were present
at the ceremonies when the cornerstone
was laid. they did not agree as TO the pre-
else spot where it had been deposited. and
it had bsen located in all parts of the

cesslve years respectively, and on con-
sideration OF this reduction the origin al

Attorney General Miller approved the
reduction in 1890. but now Attorney Gen.
erai Olney has decided that it was made
without authority OF law. The question.
therefore. appears to lie. between the two
constructions of law and equity by the
two legal luminaries.
Ii Olney's opinion holds the amount due

Lloyd Tevls, president of the North
American Commercial Company, said yes
terday that he had received no official
notlhcation of the demand and until he
dld could not discuss the subject. His
company had rented Pribyloff Islands since
1889 and had paid rent as required by the
government. In fact every requirement
Oh the law had been complied with and
tniS news OF demand for back rental
came as surprise.
From others connected with the COM
pany 1t was gathered that any claim such
as was indicated would be stubbOrnly con.
tested. On the representation of the Gov
eminent only proportion of the original
amount of seals allowed had been taken
and 1t was claimed that since the com
pany had acted in good faith the Govern
ment should do likewise. If precedent
were made of reversing the official deeds of
preceding administrations the Government
would ind it very difficult to enter int
contracts, which at best were largely hased
on mutual confidence and good faith.
On the other hand some of the compatinp
companies of the North American Com.
mercial Company laughed heartily over the
turn things had taken.

SEALING AND LAW
That Back Rent for the
PribylOff Isles.
No Official Demand Received by the
North American Yet-The
Bering Sea.

The announcement in the telegraphic
dispatches of The CALL yesterday that
the United States Government had made a
demand upon the North American Com
mercial Company of this city for back
rental and bonus Of the Pribyloff Islands
created quite sensation in sealing circles.
The determination of Secretary Carlisle
to make this demand is believed in some
way to be sequel of the Berlng Sea con-
troversy just concluded. 1t is thought that
the settlement Of the greater question has
been the cause of general overhauling
of earlier contracts, with the result that it
was discovered that a contract entered
into by this company had not been carried
out in its original terms.
The original sealing contract, according
to the parties thereto, allowed the North
American Company to take loo. 900 seals n
year. For this the sealers agreed To pay
S55. COO rental for the islands, bonus Of
81 62h on each seal and Government tax
of 81 on each skin. Later the number of
