A Remarkable Case.

Tho confirmation OF EckIes to be
controller OF the currency makes the
senate a participant in the disgrace OF
the appointment. Tho nomination Of
this man was admitted to be q blHRder,
He was not an applicant for the place,
was surprised when his name was sent
in, and everybody who knows his quail
fcations shared his surprise.
The nomination was said to be Cler'
ical error Whether this il truthful
explanation the public does not know,
but tho probability is that there WIS
some other reason. Democratic sena.
tors were supposed to be Disguised, and
yet every man OF them voted to confirm
Eckles.
Here is a man thrust into a position
OF great importance for which he is
known to be unit; neither the nomi.
mating nor the confirming power have
the courage or the due regard for the
public service to turn him down. 1t Is
altogether the most remarkable APP
pointment in the history Of the coun-
try.

All Handlers of ships Carsoes in England
Becoming Involved.


LONDON, April lS,-The indications
to-day point to general strike OF the
unionists engaged in the handling of
ships cargoes. The fight between the
dock laborers' union and the shipping
federation will probably be taken up by
the unionist dock laborers at all the
principal ports in which event serious
delay in the disCharging and shipping
OF freight will be bound to occur. The
dock laborers' union at Liverpool has
been dissatisfied for some time past
with the action OF the members OF tho
shipping federation in employing nom
union hands and also has u grievance
regarding wages. To-day the union
notified the firms in Liverpool belong
ing to the shipping federation that
unless the demands OF the unionists al
ready formulated are conceded the
members Of the union will go on strike.
This is believed to be the prelude to
similar action by the dock laborers'
unions at other ports Many OF the
leading Liverpool shipping firms belong
to the federation and it ia the general
opinion that the ship owners associa-
tion will, instead OF granting the de-
mands OF the men, make this an occa-
sion Tor measuring strength with the
labor unions. The outcome Is watched
with considerable interest by ship
owners and shippers all over tho coun-
try
AT Hull work is proceeding satisfac-
torily aud the non-union men are per-
forming their work steadily.
The presence of the troops and the

ances that would bring them in contact
with the soldiers or the police. Much
excitement prevails among tho strikers,
however, and frequently, when "black.
legs" are caught away from tho wharyes.
they are subjected to rough handling.
The shipping federation at Hull shows
no sign OF yielding, and, as there are
more than enough non-unionists to do
the work formerly performed by the
strikers, the outlook for the latter is
dark.

TIE RER1NG SEA COURT.
MIR. Carter Continues His Argument 4
the American Side.

Mr.. Carter Continues His Argument for
the American Side.
PARIS, April 1S.-Upon the resump-
ton Of the sitting OF the Boring sea
court Of arbitration to-day Mr., James
q. Carter continued in behalf OF the
United States the presentation Of the
American side Of the case commenced
yesterday. He read letters bearing
upon the question at issue sent by Mr..
James G. Blaine, when secretary of
state, to Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British minister. After reading these
letters Mr.. Carter lengthily commented
upon them. He contended that Mr..
Blaine's communications to tho British
representative showed that the basis of
negotiations for the regulation OF tho
sealing industry was to preserve tho
species, and this apart from tho ques-
ton Of rights.
Lord Salisbury, Mr.. Carter further
commended, had in his dispatches to Sir
Julian Pauncefoto in response to Mr..
Blaine's letters, ably and ingeniously
evaded rather than answered Mr..
Blaine's arguments that pelagc fishing
was contra homo mores,
At this point Senator Morgan in
quired whether Canada had approved
the draft OF convention before Lord
Salisbury had made his suggestion rela-
tive to a ten mile limit. This question
led to discussion in which the attor-
neys and Sir John Thompson and sena-
tor Morgan took part.
