thing OF the slightest consequence. Ii is

that Judge Jenkins's famous order was

Uncle Sam Preparing to Seize Cana
dian Seal Pirates.


WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE sailing or
ders and instructions of the commanders
of the ships of the seal patrol were COM
pleted by the Naval Department and sub
mitted to the Secretary Of State for his
approval SO far, they are kept secret,
but the general tenor of the instructions.
IL is understood, require the naval officers
10 seize any vessel found engaged in seal
ing north of the thirty-fifth degree of
latitude. after May !, and before Aug. l.
The presence on board of sealing appara-
tus will be regarded as sufficient proof of
the character of the vessel TO warrant her
seizure. The seized vessels, if carrying
the United States flag, will be sent TO the
nearest United States port and delivered
to the judicial officers there to await trial.
If a British vessel, il will be turned over
to the British naval officers, who will see
that she is returned to Victoria. Inc SAIL
ing orders will also be kept secret so as
not TO defeat the purpose OF so disposing
the vessels of the fleets as to make IL prob
able that no sealing craft can venture far
into the sealing waters, without reason
able certainty of capture. Some of the
naval vessels will lie in wait in the neigh
borhood of Sand Point and at the mouth
of the passes between the Aleutian Islands
through which the sealerS would pass from
the North Pacific into Boring sea. A con-
tingent of the fleet will cruise off the coast
of British Columbia and southern Alaska,
following up the seal herds. The fact
that a vessel. United States or British,
has cleared from port before the promuiga-
ton of the laws will not suffice TO save
her from seizure Her cruise Will be cut
short and she will be returned to port TO
be dealt with by the courts.

ard chief of the revenue marine service,

roads are impossible. Great damagef1as

INSISTING ON WILDCAT MONEY.


The Southern, State supremacy. federal
government-hating Democrats in Congress
are determined to destroy the national char
acter of our currency. Beaten in commit
tee, they have called a caucus, and a hun
dred of them voted to demand the passage
of the bill to abolish the tax on State bank
notes, which prevents their circulation. In
the late campaign there was no feature of
the Chicago platform which provoked so
general hostility as the declaration in
favor OF the repeal of the tax on State bank
notes. Most Democrats on the stump rdi-
culed the idea and explained that it got
into the platform by being overlooked.
Those orators declared that no such bill
should be passed. They probably thought
so; but the South wants it, and the South
In the House is in the saddle. 1t remains
TO be seen If the Indiana Democrats in the
House will obsequiously vote for a meas
ure they ridiculed on the stump in 1892
as an impossibnity.
No valid reason can be given for the
passage Of such a measure. 1t is not only
designed TO destroy a national currency
which can be turned into legal tender
when it is not such, but it involves a
scheme to swindie the masses by the issue
of local money which is not legal tender
and which will not pass current outside the
State where issued. 1t would result in
of of Of
issue without that guarantee for the re-
demption OF their notes which is essential
TO the safety of the people who are forced
to take them. Under the best State bank
ing laws which can be devised, hundreds
OF wildcat banks viii spring up in every
Western and Southern State under the di-
rection of spectators, which would fail
every time there should be financial pinch
that would send their notes back to them
for redemption in coin Manufacturing es-
adjustments would have banks of issue
and pay their employees in a money which
has neither legal-tender quality nor cur
rency outside the immediate locality. For
over thirty years no holder of a bank note
issued under the national banking laws
has lost a cent by a bank failure. A gen.
Grafton so accustomed to sound bank paper
that the individual never looks at the note
which is paid him can have no adequate
conception of banking system under which
every note issued must be carefully scru-
tinized and which cannot be turned into
legal-tender money under the best condi-
tons without cost to the note-holder. The
man who. under such a law, would take
State bank notes for his wheat, his labor
or his goods would be compelled by his
creditor to pay him legal tender money
which would cost him a premium of from
p TO 10 per cent
This scheme of the Southern politicians
and spectators has no redeeming feature
and should be entitled IAN act to swindle
the wage-earner and the small farmer in
the interest of spectators and sharpers."

HELD UP by REED.
The Ex-Speaker Refuses to Let the
House Transact business.

WASHINGTON, April u.-Mr. Reed held
the House at bay for an hour and nail
to-day on motion to discharge the war
rant issued to the Sergeant-at-arms during
the fight over the contested election cases
to arrest absentees. The Republicans, I'M
der his leadership, refused to vote, and the
Democrats. being unable to muster quo
rum, yielded to an adjournment. The
Democrats fear that this move on the part
of Mr.. Reed is in pursuance 10 a careIuily
formulated plan to force the constant at
tendance of a Democratic quorum mere
after. The Republicans deny that any such
plan has been agreed upon. The business
of the House is well advanced, and if sucn
a scheme were carried into effect the Dem
ocrats say they will have ample time to
transact their routine business before the
Senate dispCseS of the tariff Dill. Inc
House adjourned at 1:40 p. m
The prospects are not bright, according
to opinions of prominent Democrats In the
House, that a voting quorum will be Sc
cured tomorrow on the motion to vacate
the order to arrest absentees, which was
the cause of to-day's trouble in the House.
According TO one of the leaders who was
questioned ii may be necessary, in order to
secure a quorum, to vacate this order 10
renew the order itself.
