THERE is a rumor afioat in Washing

calculated to send cold shiver through
many Democratic spine. 1t is to the
effect that Mr.. Cleveland intends to con-
form his administration, in regard to ap-
pointments. to the standard of the early
administrations of the government.
With this in view, it is said, he will
make no changes beyond filling the
higher administrative offices with his
political friends unless it can be shown
that the present incumbent is incom-
petent or unfaithful. Further. it is
said he will not remove any of President
HarrisOn's appointees till their terms
expire. The gentleman who makes this
statement is a friend of Mr.. Cleveland,

JUDGE MARTIN, who has been elected
Senator by the Populist Legislature of
Kansas, has been one of the most active
Democrats in the State and one of its
ablest lawyers. In 1888 he was the
Democratic candidate for Governor, but
he has been leading coalitionist and
was largely instrumental in bringing
about the fusion of 1892. The Populists
elected him Senator doubtless because
they think he will stand better chance
of admission to the Senate than would

BEHRIMG SEA CASE
RumOr That a Decision Will Soon
Be Made.
THROWN OPEN TO ALL NATIONS
A Limit of Thirty Miles Around Breed
ing Stations, and A Ten-Mile.
Limit OFF Alaska.
THROWN OPEN TO ALL NATIONS

SAN Francisco, May 23.-There is
much rejoicing in local sealing circles
over the information which has reached
here in dispatch from Paris that the
deliberations of the. Behring sea tri-
bunal, now in session across the ocean,
will result in throwing Behring sea open
to sealers and sealing vessels OF all ma
tions, and will also declare limit of 80
miles around the northern breeding
islands of both Russia and the
United States, and limit of 10 miles
off the mainland coast of both Siberia
and Alaska. At the present time the
modus vivendi is in force, and Behring
sea is closed to all sealers under
its provisions, and nearly every
vessel in the sealing feet bad express
orders on starting out to stay away
from Behring sea. The fleet is COM
posed of about 80 vessels this year, and
nearly all OF them are off the Japan
coast. Reports from those waters are
that seals are very plentiful this year
and the sealers are likely to make big
catches.
