CARE FOR THE SEALS.
Gre sham and Pauncefote in
AmiCabIe Conference.
1t Is Believed That All Difficulties
VIII Eventually Be Smoothed
Away.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote, British ambassador. had an
other long interview with Secretary
Gresham to-day in connection with Bering
Sea matters. There are evidences that
the efforts which both parties nave been
making to arrive at a satisfactory agree
ment touching the regulation of the seal
fisheries this season are likely to be
crowned with success within the next ten
days. The vessels Of the British navy,
which will cooperate with Uncle Sans
navy TO police the seal waters, are now In
the 'neighborhood of Esquimalt, B. G..
The detail has not yet been made known
here, but the British naval system is so
perfect in its workings that the vessels Sc
lected for the service can be supplied with
everything necessary for the cruise in a
few days.
VALLEJO, March 26.-Imperative orders
were received at the navy-yard to-day
from the Secretary of the Navy directing
that the United States steamship Mohican
60 to sea Wednesday of this week and
proceed To- Port Townsend, there to await
further orders or until the Berlng Sea fleet
is ready to sail north. The guDbnat York
town was also ordered to be made re dy as
quickly as possible. and also to rendezvous
at Port Townsend. As soon as orders
were received the Mohican was hauled in
alongside the wharf abreast of the general
storekeeper's buildings and the putting on
board of her final sea stores was com-
menced. She will take as large supply
of coal as possible, not only in the bunk
ers, but slowed in sacks on deck between
the guns. Wednesday without fail she
will get out of here. and, without stopping
at San Francisco, steam directly out of the
Golden Gate and to sea. An extra force of
men will be put TO work on the boilers of
the Yorktown and they will be rushed to
completion without delay. Steam was got
up on the United States steamship Alert
today, and so far everything worked in q
satisfactory manner. Her trial trip will
take place in day or two. Her officials
and some 40 of her crew arrived from
New York Saturday.

Carnegie's Not the Only Firm En-

The New. York Herald's Washington

WAITING FOR ORDER S
Why Admiral Walker Has Not

command of the Pacific station. has not

tion the Times says: This seems to mark
precipitate descent from the pinnacle of
virtue on which President Cleveland took
his stand short time ago. 1t is easy to
understand the advantages that would ac-
crue to the United States navy from the
possession of such an advantageous place
as Pearl HaIb0r. The civilized world has
also every reason to be contented with the
United States to protect those islands,
even though such protection seems to
have no other meaning than confirmation
of the Provisional Government. What
seems perplexing is the contrast between
this concession to scrdid eXpediency and
the lofty resolution expressed by Presi-
dent Cleveland hardly three months
ago. 1t Is so impossible to question the
correctness of the canons of national
morality then laid down by him that one
cannot help iDQuiring what has since oc-
CURED to inyaiidate them. Neither the
House of Representatives nor the Senate
has renudiated his high moral principles.
Possibly the recent electoral successes of
the Republican party have produced in the
Presidents mind an apprehension. A
great reverse TO his party often has a
debilitating effect upon a Presidents
nerves. Moreover, President Cleveland
had no idea that President Dole and his
friends were such obstinate people. We
can well understand how thoroughly un.
pleasant and unpopular it would be to land
Am erican marines in order TO put down
the Provisional Government and restore
the Queen; but when all is urged that can
be urg ed in behalf of fEail craftsmanship
IL must be confessed hat the surrender ol
the President of the United States to the
other President is not too dlgnifed.

The infamy of the Southern Pacific

barbarity. If you will order rangers

Two or three wearv-looking men gaZed

inaudibly discussed fnanre, tariff and
political economy generally. They said
that about twenty-five or thirty other men
had called during the morning to inquire
about the movement and expressed their
intention of joining Mr.. Coxey's cohorts
when they arrived here.
One caller had a draft of proposed

The Postman ON the stage,

One of the novelties OF the season is n
new comedy-drama by David III. Scully,
entitled, especial Delivery" As the name
indicates the story OF the play deals
with the life ana adventures of
n United States pOstMau, q
phase of character which is alto
gether new to the stage. One OF the
scenic features represents the interior OF
the mEil delivery department OF the New
York Post Office in full operation.
The play itself is said 10
be ingenionsly constructed, and
while bris,ling with elaborate
scenic effects and mechanical devices, 1t
belongs in no sense to the familiar and
threadbare melodramatic type. 10 is said
to be n play OF the hour, happily blending
enervescenr comedy and heartBtirring
emotion in a natural picture OF human
interest.
IL will be presented at tho Providence
Opera House the first three evenings aud
