a Story That She Will Sail for the Sealing
Grounds Denied.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-No informa-
ton has been received at the state depart
ment regarding the sailing of the steamer
Alexander for the Behring sea sealing
ground as reported from San Francisco.
The statement is that it is believed the
Alexander will trade liquor for skins
along the shores of the Behring sea, and
that before the patrol feet starts north
she will make dash on the rookeries,
overpower the small guard on the island i,
and then skip south with full cargo OF
skins. If true. the vessel will engage in
a scheme Of robbery on the high seas
which comes dangerously near what IN
ternational law defines as piracy and pun
ishes with death. There is reluctance
on the part of state department officials,
therefore, to believe the report in full.

the order passed by the city council last
night directing the closing of the city
hall tomorrow in honor OF the birthday of
Emperor William of Germany, Mayor
Washburne, in a sarcastic note to the
heads of the departments, limiting the
effect of the order as much as possible,
refers to the closing of the city hall by
order of the council on St. Patrick 8
birthday and suggests that, in order to
give due recognition to the heterogeneous
population OF which the city is made up,
the council should take like action in
reference to the birthdays of all foreign
saints and heroes, and then If all secular
days of the year have not been already
used up, that what is left be devoted to
honoring some American heroes birth
