of our government to the seal industry, the
reason for the protection thus afforded 1t,

Sea enterprise without her right being
questioned in any quarter. Upon the pur-
chase Of Alaska, this righ. was transferred
to us. Accordingly, in 1870, there was
organized the Alaska Commercial Company,
of San Fransisco, by act of congress. This
company at once took possession of the
Pribyloff islands, heretofore occupied by
the Russians. The act of congress organic

His Mothers Efforts For a New Trial
 Offered.
 NEW YORK, Feb 28.-Recorder Smyth heard argument of counsel for Carlyle w. Harris for new trial. Harris was con- victed of the murder of his wife, Helen Potts Harris, by administering to her pills containing morphine. Mrs. Harris, his mother. was in the courtroom armed with a batch of affidavits which allege that her sons wife was addicted to the morphine habit.
 At the close of MT. Nicoll's argument Harris arose, and steadying his emaciated form by resting his hands on the table asked for t! privilege of addressing the court. Thi being given, Harris made a statement denying that he had attacked the memory of his wife. As to her using morphine, he at first doubted, then sus- pected, now believed it. He denied knowl- edge of some of the affiants produced by the prosecution and said
 'I was Helen Potts husband, and I never heard of some of them. I did not know them. The district attorney said in his opening remarks, and think he wishes now he hadn't said it, that this was a case for executive clemency.' If am innocent, l am not guilty. If am innocent, Ishould walk abroad. 1 should not be dependent on an appeal to executive clemency. I should not be sent to prison for life, to die or to grow insane there"

Rufus Hatch was born at Kennebunk- port Me, in 1887. Soon afterward his family went west, and when IA years old he was employed in small produce store in Rockford, Ills. He unfolded to his en- ployer a scheme by which Rockford could be made a market town. He suggested that the produce brought in for sale be held subject to the farmers risk until such time as it was sold. He received permission to undertake this himself, and he prospered so we'll that in 1855 he moved to Chicago. Inside of few years he be- came a prominent merchant in Chicago and was one of the incorporators of the Chicago board of trade.
 He began to invest in railroad securities and shortly afterward was elected direct or of the Chicago and Northwestern rail- road MT. Hatch prospered until the panic of 1857 when he failed, owing $160, 900. He was soon on his feet again, however, and paid his debts with full interest in three years.
 At the beginning of the civil war he came to New York and became one of the most prominent operators on the Produce Ex- change.
 Shortly after the close of the war Mr. Hatch became interested in the Pacific Mail company and became it's managing director. He afterward sold his interests and engaged in a big bull movement in Chicago and Northwestern. He pulled the stock year to soon, however, and failed, owing over $500, 0,000.
 He was advised at the time to take ad- vantage of the bankruptcy law in opera tion, but he declined to do so and set to work to build up his fortune again.
 Five years later he had paid every cent of the $500, 900, with compound interest, and had comfortable fortune left
 In the spring of 1888 MT. Hatch went to England and invited 80 capitalists, journal ists, noblemen and other prominent men to come to this country and visit the park. This excursion, together with another con- ducted personally by Mir. Willard, was cal culated to boom the Northern Pacific road The culmination of the affair, as will be re membered, was the driving of the golden spike connecting the two ends of the road A few days later Northern Pacific stock dropped, and Hatch was ruined. He never recovered from it.

They and their supporters made such sharp fighting that the governor thought to make the least trouble by overlooking both of them.
 Beckwith and New are famous friends, the former having been behind New all through the senatorial contest General Thompson's friends are in a rage. He was within one vote of an election on joint bal lot. His defeat was due to the treachery of Democrat.
