ALASKAN SEALS
Far Superior to Russian Seals
in Quality,
Says Mr.. Coudert, who Continues
Argument for United States,
And Proves Toe much Tor Mis- lRQuisltive
English 0ppeasats.

PAsIs, MAY IF. X. Coudert continued
his argument in behalf Of the United StAtes
today, before the Bchriug sea tribunal Of
education. Mr., Coaders analysed the joint
report Of the commissioners appointed by
Great Britain and the United States to as-
certain the facts In relation TO seal life In
Rehring sea, and the measures necessary
for its proper protection aud preservation.
Mr.. Coudert urged that pclagic scalcrs.
in killing the grsvid female, destroyed
three animals. and frequently did not oh
tain skin Ms result of tins slaughter, tho
creature the scalers slew often sinking into
the sea and escaping them.
MIR. Coudert huniorouslys described the
refusal of the female seals to sucklc pups
orphaned through the slaughter OF their
mothers by pclagic sealcrs. and caused con-
siderable merriment among his listeners.
There was a frequent exchange Of repartce
between Baron de Coarcel, president Of the
tribunal, and Mr.. Coudert
Mr.. Coudert proceeded To prove there
could be no oomingiing of the seal herds of
Alaska with those of Asiatic Russia. Fur
riers easily distinguished the Alaskan from
the Russian skins, and charged higher
prices for the Alaskan. lie read atlidavits
in support of these assertions. lic on
largcd upon the natural history Of the
seal, replying with admirable readiness 10 y
series Of questions addressed him by MEM
bers of the tribunal of arbitration.
MIR. Coudert said that Cooper island seals.
caught by pelagic sealers, came To market
as having been caught near Japan.
The British counsel acclaimed in chorus;
THAT is quite wrong"
Mr., Coulert answered; we have ample
a.. "a L.. NN., ali
that three -fourths Of the total number OF
skins sold are females" Mr.. Coudert read
evidence in support of his statement.
Lord Hannon, one of the British arbitra-
tors asked during the preparation Of the
skins, is anybodys attention called TO the
distinction between male and female skins?"
Mr.. Coudert continued TO read aiiidavits
in support Of his statement, whercupon the
president, Baron de Courcel, sail Lord
Hannan's question is unanswered. ! suppose
nobody could answer it,"
Mr.. Coudert "If nobody can. then
cannot. | should not like to admit by
silence my inability to anwer question"
Mr.. Coudert went on to show that the sex
of seals naturally presented itself to those
engaged in preparing skins. Mr.. Coudert
quoted the French furrier Revcllou as say
ing that the sex could not be distinguished
from the skins, and said he sculi produce
hclming proof to the contrary.
Recurring to the question of territorial
limits within which seals were caught. Mr.
Coudert coutralicted the statements of the
British sealing captain to the effect that the
animals were never found 10 miles from
land, with evidence of another British wit
ness to the effect that he had found seals
between 10 and 100 miles from the coast.

A BIG MINING SUIT ENDS.
Preparations for the Trial Have Been
Going on Six Years.
The St. Louis Mining Co. Loses Its Dan
age Suit Against the Drum Lum-
mon Co. at Helena.

HELENA, Mon, May 25.-[Special. J.
suit for 81, 600, 900 damages asked of the
Drum Lummon company for the wrong
ful extraction of ore from vein claimed
by the plaintiff in the United States court
today. The jury found for the defendant
on every point in dispute.
Mining experts from Aspen, Butte and
other big mining camps were on the stand
and Rossiter w. Raymond, of the Engi-
aeering and Mining Journal of New York,
also testified. There were ten of them all
told and they drew about $40 each daily
for their services. AS the trial lasted a
month their total charges amount to a
comfortable fortune.
Among the attorneys for the plaintiff
were Warren Toole, N. w. Mcconnell
and John B. Clayberg OF Helena. The
defense was conducted by Charles
Hughes, ir. of Denver, Judge M. Kirk
patrick OF Butte and W. E. Cullen of
Helena. Preparations for the trial have
been going on for six years and included
the surveying and exporting of defend
ant company's vast mines.
The plaintiff company contended in
this suit that the apex of the Drum Lum-
mon vein was within the side lines of the
St. Louis claim, which, under federal
statutes, the plaintiff was entitled to fol-
low. AS defense the Drum Lummon
company contended that the alleged vein
in the ST. Louis claim was not vein at
all and the jury held that view of the
Marysville, small camp a few miles
north of Helena.

Another Red Hot Debate Among
the National Commissioners.
BILL FOR AN INJUNCTION.
District Attorney MilcErist's Instruc-
tons Are IrOnclad.
He VIII Seek to Restrain the Manage.
ment from Opening the Gates on Sun
day Next by Appeal to the
Federal Courts,

CHICAGO, May 25.-There was lively
debate over the Sunday opening question
at the meeting of the National World S
Fair commission today. Handley OF Ala
bama, insisted that the majority report of
the judiciary committee, which was
turned down day before yesterday by the
substitution of the minority report was
still before the commission for action.
He held that the minority report, although
substituted, was not adopted, and, as a
consequence, the majority must be acted
upon. Then confusion followed.
Mr.. st. Clair, leading the Sunday open
ers, asserted that when the commission
failed to adopt the minority report, which
called for modification of the directory
resolution, it had disposed OF the ques-
ton, and consequently the action of the
directory revoking the rule closing the
gates on Sunday must stand. Chairman
DeYoung finally decided that Hundley
and friends were wrong, and that the di-
rectory resolution must stand.
Director of Works Burnham this even
ing issued an official order to the effect
that the gates of the Worlds fair shall be
opened next Sunday. The order says:
THE park will be opened to the public
Sunday next, May Is, until IL pm, the
buildings closing at 10 pm.
At present it is the intention to shut
down all machinery not absolutely re-
quired for operation of the exposition
plant. 1t was not yet decided tonight
whether or not religious services would
be held in the festival and music halls as
proposed. Superintendent Tucker of the
department of admission has already
ordered tickets for Sunday and is making
preparations to admit a big crowd.

but Chinese Laborers Must be Kept

WASHINGTON, May Pin order that

Outstanding of their parts of the con-
ssruction of existing laws on the Chinese
question, Secretary Carlisle has written
letter of instruction on the subject. The
letter, it is stated, does not relate to the
Geary exclusion act and makes no change
IN the orders already issued. The letter
says: 1.-The circular dated the 4th inst,
lastructing officers to refrain from max
ing arrests under the provisions of the
act approved May 5, 1892, remains In
force so far as it applies to Chinese per-
sons who failed to obtain certificates Of
residence, but who otherwise would have
the right to remain in the United States.
1T is known, however, that great numbers
of Chinese laborers entered the United
States IN violation of the act ap-
proved May 6, 1892. Many of
false representation that they are not la
borers but merchants and others entered
clandestinely from contigu ous foreign
territory.
Inviting your attention to the first,
second, third, fourth and fifth sections of
the act approved May 5, 1892, you are di-
rected to use all means under your con-
troll to vigorously enforce said provisions
OF law and take such measures as may be
necessary to secure the arrest and prose-
cution of Chinese laborers who are unable
to show that they obtained lawful ad-
mission into the United States.

TWENTY ROUNDS FOUGHT.
The Sherwood Contest Is De-
clared a Draw


OGDEN, May %. = Especial = The
twenty-round contest between the heavy
weights Ed Noble and Thomas Silver
thorn, which took place at the old Union
Opera house tonight, was ushered in by
four-round bout between Jack Flynn of
Ogden and George Riley, better known
as the ssKansas KIDD of Kansas City.
The two featherweights displayed some
very good sparring. The contest was
followed up by three-round contest for
points between Tug Wilson and Boston
Billy Smith, two lightweights of local
reputation.
After some little trouble in selecting a
referee, George Morrison announced that
Billy Stevenson would act as referee.
Both men were in the pink OF condition,
Noble weighing 40 pounds and Silver
thorn 15S.
Up to and including the twelfth round
there was some good fighting displayed,
but all subsequent rounds were decidedly
tame. The contest was TOR twenty rounds
when the referee decided that there had
been no contest.
Noble displayed excellent generalship
and, according to the opinion OF many,
had Silverthorn out in the fifth round if
he had followed up his hard hitting.
Silverthorn was game and suffered much
punishment.
At the conclusion of the contest, jim
Williams offered to stop either contestant
in eight rounds. Frank Richards also
offered to fight either fifty rounds. Meth
er offer was accepted. There was fully
81 900 up, but no money changed hands.

The Spanish Princess and Suite
Arrive in New York.
ROYAL RECEPTION GIVEN.
The Infanta Responds to Mayor Gilroy's
Welcoming Address.
An Ovation Given the Party as They Sail
Up the River-Greeted with the
National Salute from the
Men of War.

NEW YORK, May 25.-The Spanish
princess and suite left Washington for
this city at 10 o. clock this morning. She
was driven to the depot in the presidents
four-In hand, escorted by four companies
of cavalry. The train carrying Eulalia,
the Spanish infanta, guest of the metrop-
oils, despite short delay owing to a not
box, pulled into Jersey city on time at
O'Clock and the princess alighted show
ing in no wise the effects of her journey.
Awaiting her arrival was special COM
mittee consisting of General Horace Por-
ter, Howard Carroll, Cornelius N. Bliss,
Whitelaw Reid, Colonel 8. V. Cruger,
Comptroller Myers and Joseph j.
O'Donohue. General Porter escorted
her to the carriage and they were
driven to the wharf where the steamboat
General Slocum was moored. When the
infanta's party and members of the COM
mittee boarded the Slocum, the Spanish
war ship, Infanta Isabel, began firing the
national salute OF twenty-one guns, at
the same time manning the yards and
parading marines on the quarter deck.
During the sail up the river the party
received an. ovation, salutes being eX
changed with hundreds OF river crafts.
AS the Brazilian men of war, Republican
and Aquideban, were passed the yards OF
the big Warship were manned and salute
was fired. Further up lay the Newark
and Philadelphia of the American navy,
both ships manned their yards and
paraded crews, while each fired a salute
of twenty one guns. AS the Slocum
turned at Fifty-fift street the guns of
the Miantonomah fired welcome.
At Thirty fourth street, landing was
made. On the pier was troop A, the
crack cavalry regiment of New York,
which was to act as guard of honor to
headed by mounted band, formed and
marched along Thirty fourth street to
the Hotel Savoy. Along the entire
route the princess received a most en-
thusiastic reception, which she most
gracefully acknowledged. The street
was lined with people and from the win
dows of many homes the Spanish and
American fiagsIwere flying.
AS the carriages stopped at the hotel
General Porter introduced Mayor Gilroy
to the infarta and the mayor introduced
Mr.. Mcclellan, president of the municipal
council. The mayor escorted the princess
to the reception room where he formally
welcomed them in behalf of the city.
The princess replied quietly: 81 am
very much pleased at the graclousness OF
the reception and can find nothing to say
except to thank you. -
The royal party then returned to their
apartments. This evening the Spanish
colony marched up Fifth avenue with
torches burning and headed by a band.
They began serenade with stirring
Spanish airs under the infanta's win
dows. She shortly appeared and was
greeted by saIvos of applause. Senior
Florez, representing his countrymen,
made short speech to which the infanta
responded. Later the royal party at
tended the theatres,

CARSON CITY MINT.

Secretary Carlisle Orders a Suspension
of Coinage There After June l.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-Owing to the
small amount of gold deposited, about

THAMES REGATTA.
The Prince of Wales Cutter Defeats Dun
ravens New Yacht

The Prince of Wales Cutter Defeats Dun
ravens New Yacht
LONDON, May 25.-At the royal Thames
regatta today the curiosity of the specta-
tors was mainly absorbed in Dunraven' S
new yacht, the Valkyrie, which is to
compete for the American cup, and the
Britannia, the Prince of Wales cutter.
There was a grand race between the
Britannia and Valkyrie to get round the
Mouse light ship first, the Britannia Sc
curing the honor by a margin. The
Valkyrie was trlf1e quicker in the stays
than the Britannia, and drew uncom-
monty close. After the boats passed the
south end, the Britannia luffed to keep her
opponent under her stern. About went
the Valkyrie and about went the
Britannia. Thus they proceeded
all along the shore, luffing in on each
other, board after board. The prince of
Wales demonstrated that he had better
boat in the Britannia, being not only
stiffier but also sailing trifie closer to
wind.
Finally the Britannia stood out straight
away for home, with big gap between
her and the Valkyrie. Soon afterwards
the Valkyrie began closing the gap and
was almost at the heels of the Britannia,
when her topsail was smashed. Then
her bowsprit broke off short, bringing
down everything, and she had to lay to
and reft almost entirely before pro-
ceeding.

Commissioner Lannan Gives the Result
of the Thomas Investigation.
CHICAGO, May 25.-Hon p. H. Lannan
of Salt Lake city, national Worlds fair
commissioner, and chairman of the COM
mittee which investigated the Theodore
Thomas music bureau. being asked what
the net result of the investigation was,
said: 'tSimply what we asked in the first
place, that there be no more boycottIng
of exhibitors or American musicians;
that pianos of exhibiting firms, and those
alone. be heard in the Music hall. The
council of administration will revise all
programmes arranged by Thomas to be
sure that American composers and mn-
sicians will be heard in the future at
concerts.
ttWe never cared about Thomas welding
the baton, but all the commission asked
was that Thomas should not be allowed
to use his evident predilecuion for one
house at the expense of all other manu-
facturers of musical instruments in
America, and that he should be subject
to the national commission through its
proper officer, the director general, in all
matters like any other employee. l am
satisfied now that the Objectionable
features of Thomas administration will
be eliminated by himself
