THE SEAL CATCH.
The American Consul at Victoria Re.
ports on the Subject.

U. S. Consul Myers at Victoria, B. c., las
made a supplemental report to the State
Department in regard to the seal catch CT
1885. lie says that up to date 80 British
sealing schooners of the fleet of 1893 have
returned to Victoria, and % are yet to ar
rive. The total number of skins received
at this port to date is 3d. 499. About 10000
SKINS are yet to come, bringing the entire
catch OF the season by British Columbia
sealers up to 5000 or more. The entire
catch of 1892 by the British Columbia feet
was 49.495 skins. The catch of this year.
therefore, is the largest on record Just
about half the skins now in port were taken
on the American side of the North Pacific.
and the other half in Japan and Copper Is
land waters. If the catches by American
vessels, delivered al Seattle and San Fran
cisco, are considered and added to the skins
taken on the Pribyloff Islands, the entire
catch OF the year in northern waters will
the consul thinks, reach 100000 or over
1t is noticed by sealers that many more
bulls were taken this year than heretofore.
especially young bulls. They account for
this by reason OF the large decrease in the
number killed on the Pribyloff Islands since
the modus vivendi went into force. The
American company was restricted to 7 200
while the high seas fleets were free TO take
all they could find. That provision was
apparently, prejudcial to American rights

MR. HORNBLOwER's NOMINATION.
Dimculty I'm Getting "a Quorum of the
Senate Judiciary Committee.

The near approach of the end of this
extraordinary session of Congress calls at
tention anew to the number of nominal
tions that have been hanging fire in COM
mittees for many days and upon which
the Senate cannot act until a report is
made by the committees to which they
have been referred. Chief among these is
that of Mr.. Hornblower, nominated TO be
associate justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States. 1t has seemed to he
impossible of late to secure a quorum of
Senators in the judiciary committee and
no action upon the nomination has been
mad Under the Constitution a nomination
sent TO the Senate and upon which at the
expiration of the session there has been
no action falls.
There is nothing in the Constitution,
however, that prevents the President from

cItentimes more binding than duly enact

thls character shall not be made during the
recess, and this custom has been strictly

der the circumstances there might be a
cioud upon the title of the judicial officer to
MS seat, and the questionin.. of his deci-
sions might lead to endless confusion. 'rhe
result Will be. perhaps that the nornina-

lar session in December. and that at mat

THE NAVAL HOSPITAL
Medical Director Wells Reports on
the Work and Needs.

Medical Director II. NJ. Wells in cbarea
of the Naval Hospital in this city. in HE
annual report to the Secretary of the
Navy says that the repairs and innroya-
ments made to that institution during the
past year have put 1t in condition to conn
pare favorably with similar institutions in
the country. He calls attention to the
annoyance caused by the dust and noise
on the four streets surrounding the hos
pital, and expresses the hope that the Conn
missioners of the District may be induced
to pave E street. 9th street and 10th street.
The total number of patients treated dur
ing the year was 103; remaining from pre-
vious year, IA; admitted, SO; discharged to
duty, 81; from service. s; transferred to
other hospitals, 2; deaths, zone of them a
suicideD, and remaining, 9.
In concluding his report Medical Direc-
tor Wells says:
An antiseptic operating room is indis-
pensable TO u well-equipped hospital. The
construction of this building is such that
no place can be found for one without en-
croaching upon the ward space. The ex-
tension of the building sixteen feet to the
west would give two rooms in the base
ment, much needed; two rooms on first
floor for sick officers; and two rooms on
second floor, one for operating room and
one for surgical instruments and appli-
ances, both to be aSeptic.
The brick pavement Of the roadway from
the street to the hospital is in very bad
condition, as are also the brick sidewalks
/ recommend that they be replaced with
asphalt as soon as the frost is out of the
ground.
The iron fence about the hospital grounds
needs painting, and. many of the stone
posts on which the fence stands have split
off. IT will be economy to repair them be-
fore painting the fence.
The embankment outside of the fence is
in bad condition and will need returning
The interior grounds are in excellent con-
dition

A COURT Sc NSATION
Judge Bradley Sets Aside the Verdict in
the Ford Will Case.
And Makes Some Remarks to the Jury
That Cause Them to Feel
Ill at Ease.

This morning the jury in Justice Brad
ley's Court, Circuit, Division l, who retired
yesterday with the case of the will of the
late Milton Ford, who left the bulk of his
estate to the Washington City Orphan Asy
lum, returned a verdict on the issues, find
ing that the testator was not Of sound and
disposing mind at the time he executed the
will and codicils thereto.
The Verdict Set Aside.
The justice Immediately set the verdict
aside. When the case was given to the
jury yesterday afternoon Justice Bradley
warned them that there was no question of
sentiment in the case the simple question
being as to the testamentary capacity at
the time of making the instruments. A
man, he said, had the right to dispose of
his property, subject to the dover of the
widow, as he saw fit, and the presumption
was that man was sane till the contrary
was proved. AS for the testimony that
Ford insisted that Christ was to come in
April, he said it was not an evidence Of in
sanity, for 1t was celebrated in April in for
mer times. He warned them that the pre-
judice Mr.. Ford had for secret orders
should not have any influence.
Remarks to the Jury.
When the jury came into Court this morn
Ing they returned the verdict answering
the four questions as to whether Mr.. Ford
possessed testamentary capacity at the
times stated. in the negative. Justice
Bradley turned to the jury and addressing
them said, with considerable emphasis. that
he had cautioned them not to allow their
feeIings to run away with their Judgment,
and he would be false to his oath If he al
lowed their verdict to stand, and he ordered
1t set aside. He added: IF the evidence in
this case does not show that the testator
was competent to make a will, then no man
upon the jury can make a valid will"
Something of a Sensation.
This announcement Immediately on the
rendition of the verdict caused somewhat of
sensation, and the jurors seemed i'll at ca:
till they were directed to vacate the seats.
Some few of the jurors state that the Judge
was right In setting the verdict aside, while
otherwise

RADICAL RECOMMENDATIO
Surgeon General Tryon Has Views oi
His Own.


There are two features Of the annual re-
port of Surgeon General ]. X. Tryon, re-
Gently appointed chief Of the naval bureau
OF medicine and surgery. which have at
tracted considerable attention in naval cir
cles. because Of their originality and bold
ness. The one that comes in for the greatest
amount OF criticism is where Gen. Tryon
says:
THE title OF surgeon general should be
changed to medical director ger raj, more
appropriate for the navy. and should con-
stitute permanent grade. as in the army,
to be promoted by selection and to hold
office until retirement by age. This officer
should also be chief Of bureau of medicine
and surgery.
The title Of medical director should re-
main unchanged; that of medical inspector
TO heet surgeon; surgeon to stan surgeon;
passed assistant surgeon, an absurd title. to
that OF surgeon; assistant surgeon, another
uncomplimentary title for a professional
man, to surgeon junior grade"
Surgeon General Tryon was appointed to
his present office for a term of four years
The practical effect of the adoption of his
recommendation would be to keep him there
until he reaches the age of retirement
The other feature Of his report that is
criticised is the recommendation that Off
GERS of the medical department be detailed
TO serve as naval medical attaches at the
legations of'London, Paris and Berlin, "the
principal medical centers Of the world 8"
which action, he says. will add greatly to
the professional efficiency OF the medical
corps of the navy and consequently be of
benefit to the profession and service at
large. The detail would also be
advantageous and economical by prevent
ing the necessity of sending officers from
the United States, when complying with the
request of foreign governments for dele
gates to represent the medical corps of the
navy at international medical congresses
and other scientific meetings in Europe ="

R E IGN OF TIE RO.R
Among the Messengers and Laborers in
the Patent Office.
The Omcfal Ak Takes on Several
Heads and Others Are to Fol-
1Ow-ThOse Dismissed.

There is a reign of terror in the ranks of
the messengers and laborers in the patent
office. The rapid firing has created a panic
OF despair. The exact number of those who
were resigned last evening cannot be stated,
but it is not probable that the fatalities
exceeded ten Some of those who are
known to have retired are Mrs. Henrietta
s. Willis, appointed from Virginia June Is,
1863. and to the grade from which she was
dismissed on April s. 1889; Daniel c. Brown,
appointed from the District of Columbia on
October 16, 1891, and Philip T. Latney, ap-
pointed from the District of Columbia on
October 26. 1880. and to his late grade ON
July IA, 1880 Mr.. Latney is said to have
been appointed through the influence of
Senator Blackburn. 1t is said at the de-
partment that he was a cook on the gun
ming barge kanawha, at one time owned
by the late Senator Kenna, and on which
craft Senator Blackburn used to take pass
age Mr.. Latney will make violent effort
toward reinstatement, and is on the hunt
for the blue grass statesman. Another
man to go bore the name of Smith 1t was
either David Smith of Illinois or James c.
Smith of Virginia. Indications point to the
latter as the unhappy man. 1t was thought
at the department that Mr.. Cornelius w.
the report proved to be untrue. Mr.. Davis
friends feel sure that his castle stands
strong. The changes were made, so the
officials say, because the good of the service
demanded it, but were really made because
of the pressure of office seekers.
1t is fair to assume that the new ap-
pontees are democrats, because some time
ago it was given out at the department, ex
cathedra, that all vacancies which would
occur in the Interior Department had been
provided for, and as no republican has, so
far as the reporter for The Star can ascer-
tain, been appointed to any vacancy
created in the unclassified service, these
latest vacancies have also been flied with
friends of the administration.
Other vacancies will occur. When or
where the AK will fall must not be indi-
Gated, but the service will be purged of
some folks alleged by the officials to be in
efficient. 1t is understood that the patent
office will be the scene of the trouble.
Commissioner Seymour is already looked
upon as the hardest worked headsman in
the Department of the Interior.
