CoUDERT FINISHES.

Paris, May 9.-Coudert, of counsel for
the United States, continued his argu-
ment today in the Bering Sea hear
ing. He quoted from the counter case
of Breat Britain, which he argued vir-
tually confirmed his contention that
pelagic sealing was gradually Destroy
ing the seal species. He read and COM
mented on the evidence of leading fur
riers, showing that seals captured by
pelagic hunters were chiefly females.
When Mr. Coudert finished his speech,
Baron de Courcel. president of the
tribunal, said to him:
I'VE thank you for the great ability,
liveliness and humor with which you
have carried us over what would have
otherwise have been rather dreary
field of questions"

Washington, May 9.-Some time ago
the secretary of the interior requested
the war department to send troops to
the Puyallup Indian reservation to
look into the matter and today re-
ceived a telegram stating that Ross
was preparing to do some grading and
had cut some timber. On receipt OF
this information instructions were sent
General Ruger commanding the depart
ment of the Columbia, directing him to
take the necessary steps to prevent
Ross from further pushing the work

from the president to the cabinet off,
GERS, a considerable increase in the
number of callers at each department,
and a good deal of time consumed In
their reception. 1t is predicted that If
1t continues, all the members Of the
cabinet will adopt a precisely similar
rule to that of the president. The
hour beginning at l o'clock, and until
the assembling of the cabinet, was de-
voted by the president this morning to
interviews with representatives and
senators. Unlike former days, the dig
nitaIaes came along, and without ex-
ception the congressman were delight
ed with the presidents new rule, and
expressed themselves accordingly.

MUST ATTEND TO BUSINESS.

washington May s.-Secretary Her
bert has authorized a statement that
he will decline to extend leaves of alb
sence to any officer of the navy who is
engaged in private business. He will
not Interfere with the orders of his
predecessor, but will grant no new
leaves of this kind, and will call In
all these already granted at the expi-
ration of the time assigned to them.
The secretary says he does not think
it right that officers educated by the
government should be permitted for
their own private advantage, to utilize
their knowledge and experience against
the government and at the same time
remain on it's pay roll. This decision
applies to officers who are employed by
private firms, those employed on lect-
uring tours, and those engaged in pri-
vate capacity at the Worlds Fair.

uNJusTLY GENEROUS.

Chicago, May s.-County Treasurer
Kern said today, that his cashier. Fe-
lix Schweistbal. took $4,000 to tide
along Michael Schweistbal the banker
who failed sometime ago. Michael was
a brother of Felix, and both thought
the embarrassment would be only tenn
porary, sol Felix gave Michael the
cash and put his checks in the drawer
as cash. When Treasurer Kern, after
the failure of Schweistbal bank. sus-
pecting something was wrong, exam
ined the cash, he discovered 1t was
short $4,000. Felix turned over 100000
worth of real estate to two Of his
bondsmen who promptly handed Mr..
Kern $21, 900 cash. The other two bonds
men refused to pay their share and
suits will be instituted.

THE ATTENDANCE AT THE FAIR
Fine Weather Brings the Spectators
Out in Thousands.
MISS COUSINS CASE SETTLED
The Chemical National Banks Failure
the Principal Topic of Discussion
Among Exhibitors.

Associated Press.
Chicago May 9-Since the day that
the president opened the fair, there
has been no day when the attendance
was larger and the weather more pro-
pitions. From early morning until late
this afternoon, thousands crowded to
the gates.
Among exhibitors the failure of the
Chemical bank was the principal topic
of discussion. Most OF the foreigners
had deposited money with the bank,
and their letters of credit were hon
ored at that institution. AS soon as 1t
became generally known that the bank
had closed, u crowd gathered around
the doors and waited patiently for the
appearance of Cashier Brayton. That
gentleman did not put in an appear
ance, having been summoned down
town to consult with the officials of the
bank. Strenuous efforts were made by
depositors to get In, but the clerks
kept the doors locked. Considerable
excitement prevailed for a time, but
things quieted down when 1t was stat
ed that the bank expected to pay In
full. Some of the depositors, however,
refused TO be comforted, as a great
many of them from out of town had
no means to replenish their exchequers
at short notice.
At a meeting of the national COM
mission this afternoon, a Committee OF
six was appointed to investigate the
matter and report as to the advisable
ity Of permitting the bank to resume
business on the grounds.
The petition of Phoebe Cousins, of
Missouri setting forth her claims with
regaru uU membership, cStIIIv up, anu
the judiciary committee reported that
Miss Cousins cannot be regarded in
any sense as member. This settles
her status unless she takes other ac-
tion.
Reports from committees on work or
the different buildings were then re-
ceived. The fisheries building was well
advanced, Dul tile STOuHuS anu puHu-
ings Of the live stock department are
not ready, though the chief of the de-
partment thinks there is ample time
and that he will have all in readiness
by the time they are needed. Accord.

and cattle is therefore changed from

NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York. May S.-The stock mar
xet was erratic In movement through
out the day. There were short rallies
at intervals, but the tendency Of prices
was, in the main downward, owing to
reports that the government crop re-
port tomorrow will be most favorable
and the collapse Of the Chemical Ma
tlonal bank, of Chicago. which led to
rumors affecting the credit Of other
financial institutions OF the city.

THE CHEMICAL BANK FAILURE.

Chicago, May 9.-LAs soon as the
news Of the trouble in the affairs of
the Chemical National Bank became
known at the Worlds Fair grounds
this morning, an anxious crowd gath
cred around the branch of the bank.
which is the official bank of the
Worlds Fair and located In the ad-
minlstration building. The doors,
however, were tightly closed and mo-
body could learn anything as to the
prospects of getting money.
AS anticipated the main bank has
also closed. The capital OF the bank
was 81 100000. 1t is expected the de-
posltors will be paid in full The fall
ure had no effect In financial circles.
Poor Judgment In making loans and
the monetary stringercy was the cause
of the failure.
Bank Examiner Sturges said the
Chemical Bank failure Is not a bad
one, but from what he knows so far,
thinks 1t is complete one. This Is
considered to point tothe fact that a
resumption of business is not at all
likely. He gave assurance that de-
positors would not lose anything. The
general opinion among financial men
is that the trouble came through bad
management and poor investments.
The Worlds Fair directors have made
ample provisions for the payment of
all foreign exhibitors and foreign COM
missioners who have deposited funds
in the Worlds Fair branch of the bank.

New York, May 9.-7-The remains of
Carlyle w. Harris were buried in the
burial cemetery here this afternoon.
After the burial, Harris last state
ment sent by the warden to the pris-
on department of the state was given
out. Harris, in this, his last writing,
opened with reference to the review Of
his case by the governor He canvasses
the review, refers to his giving himself
up when he learned of the warrant for
his arrest, and to his refusal of the
proffered means of escape from Sing
Sing, and then says, regarding the re-
fusal Of executive clemency:
1.-THE action of the court was not
justified by the facts in the case, and
hence the public outcry must be ST.
fenced by the seeming justification of
the court in outside facts. There is an
idea in the minds of many that at the
time of my wife's death / desired a
marriage with some other woman.
Such person was never found, nor does
she exist. No one had so many rea-
sons for desiring my wife to live as l
had. She would have brought me
money and professional success; she
would have graced my home, and had
1 known of her sad habit, it would have
been my happiness to shield and cure
her. May God in mercy bless and
guard those whom leave behind, and
leave them peace. And now, face to
face with the greatest mystery known
to man, knowing that no concealment
nor untruth can mitigate my end, l
do solemnly declare l am innocent of
the crime for which am to die"

MR.. GLADsToNE's LAST SPEECH.

MR.. GLADsTONE'S LAST SPEECH.
Pittsburgh Times.
AS the late Artemas Ward would have
said, the English newspaper writers are
amusing little cusses. Thus one of them
says of Gladstone's speech at Edinburgh
that he treat the Lords with scrupulous
tenderness" while another said that in
this speech he delivered "the most crush
ing indictment ever made against leg
islative body" Both of these writers are
hostile to the Lords at so many shillings
a week. Maybe it is a difference in
salary which accounts for their differ
ence in opinion of the speech to the
Midlothians.
Two others on the opposite side have
their say, and that of one of them is
that "Mr. Gladstone did not raise the
cry of down with the Lords because he
dare not" while that of the other is that
1.-The speech of Mr.. Gladstone possesses
the quality of courage" 1t is possible
that in this instance, too, the difference
in the number of shillings week salary
may account for the difference of opinion
as to the speech.
But better explanation is, that as
everywhere else, so in Edinburgh, Mr..
Gladstone displayed his renowned skill
as trimmer, impressing now the Home
Ruler with the idea that he had delivered
"the most crushing indictment ever
made against a legislative body" and
now the Conservative with the idea
that knowing "the country is with
them, he did not care to attack the
Lords.
The conclusion from his speech is that
just what he means to do no one knows,
and he will not tell until he is better in
formed of the temper of the country.

THE question of the tariff is question
of business. 1t is a matter chiefly of
dollars and cents, and there is little
sentiment about 1t. The Republican
party favors protection because thirty
years of this system has conclusiyely
demonstrated that under its workings
the farmer gets better prices for his
products, the workingmsn better wages,
and the merchant q more prosperous
trade than could be secured under a
revenue tariff or free trade. Whether
directly affected or not every business
shares in the benedcient effects of this
system. The farmer, the laborer, the
merchant, and the manufacturer all are
its benefciaries through increased prices
and the home markets it provides. The
man who has his fortune made or is en-
joying a fixed income might be bene-
fitted by free trade, but the great mass
of the people could not escape the evil
effects of free trade in the general stag
nation of business and the depressions
in value which would inevitably follow
the enactment of a revenue tariff. On
any other proposition people would vote
for their personal interests. Why not

Both parties can not be right. have a

triumph, however, will not come without
effort and energy. We learned last
year that faith without works did not

experience that majorities are not secured
by confidence alone This year let us ac-
company our confidence with zeal, with
work, and with a full vote Never

their voice heard and needed will not pass

LAWRENCE T. NEAL, who -will-never-
be Governor of Ohio, is tramping around

attend his meetings that the Mckinley
bill is responsible for the business de-
preston, and on this plea which he
knows to be falsehood-for We give
him credit with having some brains even
If demagogue hopes to hold the
Democracy In line. But if such is true,
why did the country reach the highest
degree of prosperity ever known, pros
perity that did not cease until Grover
Cleveland was well settled in the White
House? Then we are told that the Nc
Kinley bill will be at once repealed, and
If it is an iniquitous measure, the fact
that its speedy repeal is assured
should have made times better in antic-
ipation of repeal. 1t seems that since
the Democratic party won year ago on
false pretenses, they are still keeping
up that course of argument. However,
Neal will find that the people of Ohio
can see through his sophistries and that
no one is deceived by his demagogical
utterances.

TAXATION is a matter Of financial
interest to every property holder. 1t
affects the pocket nerve and that is very
sensitive. 1t is acknowledged that the tax
laws of Ohio are inequitable because of
the barriers imposed by the Constitution.
A vast amount of wealth in the way of
franchises and privileges now escapes
taxation, and all this should be brought
in and compelled to bear its share of
the burden of taxation. Could every
thing that now escapes taxation, but
which should be taxed, be brought in
our tax rate would be materially less
ened. To provide more equitable laws
on this subject is the object of the tax
alton amendment now before the people.
1t is not party question and all should
vote "yes" on the proposition. The
question has been submitted several
times buthas failed through inattention.
1t should not be suffered to go by default
this time. Vote for it and ask all your
neighbors to vote for it.

BECAUSE it is evident that some of
Candidate Meals recommendations In
regard to appointments in Ohio will be
turned down by the President, Chairman
Seward, of the Democratic State Com
mittee. has asked tIat no more Federal
appointments be made in Ohio until
after the election. For this he is re-
ceiving general censure from the Democ-
racy, who say that he is in favor of
retaining Republicans in Office. Seward
deserves the credit of knowing that
Neal Is not In favor with the Admins
tration. His head is clearer than those
Democrats who are "cussing" him.
