informed by her captain that on the previ-
ous evening the Minnie had been boarded
by Russian man-of-war, the commander
of which eontiscated her papers and or
dered her to Yokohama 10 report at the
British consulate. The captain OF the
Russian vessel stated that the Nm
nie way just twenty-eight miles
from shore, and that he knew
this because he had Just steamed
out. On the other hand the captain
of the Minnie declares most positively
that he was a; least forty-nine miles out
according to h is reckoning. aud this state
ment is confirmed by Capt. Anderson.
who says that the Minnie was q short dis
tance astern of the Viva and is positive OF
the accuracy of his calculations, which
placed him just about fifty miles from
shore. In this particular the captain of the
Viva and the Minnie agree. The Minnie
and Viva then parted company. the former
heading for Yokohama, but whether her
captain will change his mind and come 10
Victoria instead is an open question.
The Minnie was owned by Capt. Jacob
son and had catch of over 900 skins, to
which the Russians paid no attention.
shortly after this the Minnie spoke the
Tacoma sealing schooner South Bend, aud
was informed by Can't. Dillon that the
Victoria sealing schooner Anoka had been
seized in water which her captain claimed
was sixty-iive miles off shore. She, too, had
her papers confiscated and was ordered TO
| Yokohama, but this was as much as could
be ascertained at the time. Ii was also re-
| ported to Capt. Dillon and by him 70 Capt.
T Anderson that American schooners had
! been seized in about the same place and
| had been treated in the same way. but no
details were given OF these seizures. nor
| were the names mentioned. Capt. Ander-
| son does not remember the name of the
Russian cruiser, but is sure il was not
| Zabiaka.
Collector of Customs A. r. Milne took
the official statement of Capt. Anderson
I and advised the government at Ottawa.
Its not known what course will be pur-
sued in connection with the seizures. in
fact, nothing can be done until they arrive
at Yokohama, where they will probably
be held for trial until next winter. Itwas
apiece OF good luck for the Viva that she
too was not gathered in along with the
Minnie, but Capt. Anderson THINKS this is
due to the fact that the Russians did not
want too much evidence as to where the
| schooners were.

Appointed Senators Next Monday.
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 1.-THE senate
made no progress in the financial discus
sion today, because majority of the
members apparently believe their speeches
should be withheld until the paramount
issue. the repeal of the Sherman law, is
squarely presented to the senate. The
pressure is becoming stronger daily on the
finance committee TO report some definite
proposition on the Sherman purchasing
act, and the result will probably be that
the committee will soon report a bill and
leave the decisive battle to be fought out
on the floor of the senate. A majority of
the committee are at this time i'm favor of
reporting to the senate similar measure
to the Hill bill. Every indication at this
time points to the improbabiiity of any
repeal by the senate unless il be coupled
with some such declaration as is made in
the Hill bill, or With more positive Iegisla-
tion providing for actual free coinage at a
revised ratio.
When the senate met today numerous
petitions were presented, some for the un-
conditional repeal of the Sherman act
and some against its repeal without pro-
vision tor the free coinage OF silver. One

REsEMBLEs BIGoTRY.

The letter of General Secretary BAER,
of the Young Peoples Society of Chris
tan Endeavor, indicates plainly that he
is one of the leaders of movement to
induce all the members of the society III
the United States and Canada to stay
away from the worlds fair, because the
gates are to open Sunday. 1t is much to
be regretted that the 100000 young
people of Canada and America who be-
long to this society should gain their
early religious training from such
bigots.
The religionists of 200 years ago
burned people at the stake on account
of their personal opinions. The party
with the most strength denounced as
heretcs the minority party whose re-
ligious views were shade different, land
put them to death. Mr.. BAER is not
whit less intolerant than the majority
parties of those times, and, since ne
cannot burn at the stake those who diff
fer from him as to the Wickedness OF
opening the gates of the worlds fair
Sunday, he must take his revenge out
in boycott.
Mr.. BAER does not believe that it is
wicked to operate the fair week days;
the wickednesS consists only in opening
the gates Sunday. He does not pretend
to say that it would be wicked for a
Christian to visit the fair week days,
even though the gates are opened Sun
day. His whole idea is to secure re-
venge upon the management because 1t
has done something which he, Mr.. BAER,
thinks Is wicked. He propose to inflict
the most severe punishment within his
power simply because the management
differed from him.
If it lay in Mr.. BAER's power, he
would prevent everybody from attend
ing the fair, thus causing total loss of
the $50, coo. 900 which has so far been ex-
pended, the bankruptcy of thousands or
men and industrial concerns, and with
out doubt a national panic and general
distress.
Clearly, Mr. BAER does not contain the
true spirit of Christ in his heart.
Christ taught the principles of love,
charity, and all that is opposed to big
otry; BAER teaches principles which
resemble hatred and revenge. Christ
said: "Let him that IS without sin cast
the first stone" BAER would have
said: "Stone the vile creature to
death"
Mr.. BAER would admit that closing
the gates Sunday would necessitate the
employment on the LORDS day of 10000
additional bartenderS in the saloons, and
still insist that the gates should be
closed. He would see 100000 laborers
working at their trades Sunday to get
Monday to attend the fair, and still he
would insist that it would be wicked to
open the gates Sunday.
1t is refreshing to observe that in this
struggle a good many church people
have proved that they were not narrow,
bot true Christians. These have taken
the view that tn interests OF Chris
tianity will be better served by opening
the gates Sunday.

wasHRURN,s DENIAL.

Senator WAsHBURN, from the Hot
Springs, sends denial Of the interview
with him in New York, in which he
talked wildly about panics and the adj
ministration's responsibility for them.
Mr.. WAsHBURN is entitled to whatever
benefit there is in his denial. 1t is pos
sible he never said what was accredited
to him, but what he said was so in keep
ing with his characteristic talk. and its
caliber was gagged so we'll to his bore,
that it was very clever bit Of imitation.
Without making personal application
to this case, it is quite the fashion for a
certain grade of public men to discover
after they have spoken the foolishness
of what they have said, and repudiate
the interview and the interviewer. In
justice to the latter. it must be said that
the cases where they fabricate is the
exception and not the rule.

patronage has been tried fairly in this
country, as 1t was tried in England, and
has broken down with its own weight
there and here. Like ali abuses once in
trenched. it yields slowly and struggles
hard; but nothing is more significant
than the advance which the reform of
the civil service has made in this coun-
try since 1882. in spite of the hostility of
the mass of the politicians. Its vrility,
It's steady growth in the face of all this
antagonIsm. shows that it is fit to sur
vive; that it is not mere fad; that it
meets the approval of the mass of the
people; that it p roves its virtues in
practical tests, and that it has come to
stay. The Democratic party is pledged
to it Ill its national platform, and it has
a president who believes that plat
folm pledge is made in sincerity, and
not merely to get in Oh like car plat
form, ON which those in are warned not
to stand. The GLOBE believes that the
national convention meant just what 1t
said. and it believes that the party can
only hope for permanent success by
being honest and giving effect to its
pledges.

CARLIN PROMOTED.
Fourth Infantry Colonel Made a
BrfGadier General.

WASHINGTON. May 17.-Tne presi-
dent has appointed Col, William P. Car
lin, of the Fourth United States infantry.
to be brigadier general, to fill the vacancy
caused by the retirement of Brig. Gen.
F. A. Carr. The president also ap-
pointed William II. Hammer, OF the
Twentieth infantry, paymaster in the
army, with the rank of major.

Findings of Military Trial Dis
apDrOyed Dy the President.

approved by the President.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-The findings
Of the general court-martial. convened
at Fort Leavenworth, Kan, for the trial
of Capt. William S. johnson, retired.
and the recommendation in the case
have been dlSapproved by President
Cleveland. The general charge against
the officer was conduct unbecoming an
officer and gentleman, to which there
were three specifications. Each speci-
fication gives case in which Capt.
johnson became indebted to persons or
banks, which Indebtedness he failed to
pay. The second and third specifica-
tion state that he also duplicated his
pay accounts. The third specification,
the only one of which he was found
guilty, states that Johnson assigned and
transferred to II. Forbes Il Co., of Bos-
ton, his pay account and claim for pay
for the month of January, 1893, and also
assigned and transferred his salary for
the same month to the Central National
Bank of Springfield, Mo. In Secretary
Lamont's order the following occurs:
SIN private life person tried and ad
judged guilty of assigning property as
collateral and then collecting and ap-
propriating its avails to his own use, or
of transferring for value received the
same property to two seperate persons,
would be subjected to severe and hu
initiating punishment. That court
martial. comprising officers of rank and
experience, should so lightly regard
the similar offenses here fully eStab-
Iished and found, is a reproach to the
service, and the proceeding is in marked
inconsistency with the duty Of protect
ing and maintaining the high sense of
personal honor which has long charac-
terized the reputation of the army"
