lea he added, claims that the indiscrimi-
nate destruction Of the seals, including
the slaughter OF the gravid animals pro-
ceeding towards the Probilof Islands,
the herm'ng grounds, and of the moth
ers seeking food at sea, isinhuman, ibar
barous, and a violation of the laws of
all civilized nations for the protection
son. Such slaughter, he commended, must
eventually result in extinguishing a
valuable industry established for nearly
century by Russia and maintained by
America since the cession OF Alaska to
the United States by the Russian gov
ernnent.
The British claimed the right to ex-
terminate the species for the sake of a
small temporary profit. They did not
meet the question as to whether the
rights exists, but exhausted the resourc-
es of the ablsst advocacy to eyade it..
The British counsel approached the
question in every direction except a
straightforward one. They pretended
to enquire whether the United States
were justified In selling British vessels
engaged in pelagic seal hunting.
Mr.. Phelps declared there was no such
question before the tribunal. The arbi-
traitors were not concerned in the ques
ton OF past seizures. except as to the
finding OF the necessary facts on which
to base future negotiations. Counse-
having agreed upon the facts, the tribpl
nal ought to dismiss the matter of the
seizures.

were somewhat startled by the uncon-

young woman who was on board She

knee and ankle. The trousers were not.

the outfit. The blouse and trousers were

The young woman walked through the
cabin of the Princeton and took seat
close to the door at the forward end of

Importing Gold.

Itwas announced last week that New
York bankers Were confidently expects
ing shipments of gold coin from London
to the United States In summing up
the situation at that time it was noticed
that interest rates were very low in Lon
don and very high in New York and the
West. This fact, added to an upward
movement of American securities, was
the ground upon which the expectation
of a turn in the tide was based. au
The announcement, therefore, that
$500,O0O in gold is on its way to America
from England is no surprise to those who
keep abreast OF what is going ON in the
financial world. OF course. there are
goOdreasors for the low rates of sterling
exchange in London. The United King
dom, as well as every country in Europe,
has a vast amount of capital seeking in
vestment. In failing to repeal the Sher
man act the last Congress left matters
greatly in doubt as TO what the Ameri>
can policy in regard to silver wonld be.
| This created unsteady credit, brought
about slump in stocks and called for
the withdrawal of millions of ponds
sterling from investment in America
That naturally produced IA sensitive
feeling on this side of the water, leading
ny almost to financial panic
Hot Ar. Gievclanis announcement

the Sfarnihn act has restored confidence

f5f the returu Of confidence. to British
specula tors is only one element i'll the
cheering outlook. There is tlerth of
breadstufr, fodder and hay all over Eu-
rope. The steamers leaving American
ports are chartered two months ahead
to carry these products abroad. They
must be paid for in gold and the pros
peet of further importation, of the
precious metal is very bright.
This should tend to restore confidence
on this side of the ocean, and to add
cheerfulness to all already encouraging
outlook. Unless all signs are at fault
the worst is over as regards the financial
stringency of 1898. -Bdltimore Herald.

SILVER HOARDS IN INDIA
Difference of Opinion rs to the
Amount In Hiding.

In the house OF lords yesterday the Earl
OF Northbrook, sometime governor general
of India, called the attention of the house
to the existing obstacles to the importation
of manufactured silver from India arising
from the compulsory hall marking law in
England. He said that the silver in the
hands of the people Of India was estimated
to amount in value to from f130, O00, 900 to
Else, 100000.
Owing to the stoppage of the free coinage
of silver by the Indian government the peo-
pie were unable to find a market for their
metal and were sustaining enormous losses.
The abolition of the hall marking law in
England together with free trade in art
fcles manufactured from silver, would, he
by the Stoppage Of free coinage
The Earl of Kimberly, secretary of state
for India, admitted that 1t was desirable
to change the law. Silver manufacturers
In England were, however, opposed to the
abolition of the law compelling their goods
to bear a hall mark. He saw no reason
why the various standards of manufactured
silver ought not to exist in England the
same as in other countries.
Lord Herself, lord high chancellor, said
he had been advised that there were no
large boards Of silver in India. During the
famine vast quantities of silver ornaments
had been sent to the mints. where they had
been converted into rupees. The estimate
as to the value of the ornaments among
natives was a greatly overestimated one.
The Earl of Northbrook moved that the
secretary Of state for India submit to the
house the papers he had on the subject.
The Earl of Kimberly promised that he
would do SO.

an earlier hour than was expected. and Mr..

A number Of conservatives who had ex-

taken advantage Of their expectations to
absent themselves. intending to be present
when notified that a vote was about to be
taken on Mr.. Balfour's proposal.

The railroad claims that the rate was

the liquor business. The rate fixed for the
transportation of liquor in glass is the
same as that heretofore charged for trans
Dortation in bulk. The railroad claims
that glass involved more risk and trouble
