REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION.

The Committee of Arrangements Not
Having smooth Time of 1t.
SAN Francisco, May A.-The commit
tee Of Sacramento citizens who have as
sumed charge of the arrangements for the
meeting of the Republican State Conven-
ton on June 18th are not having an
altogether smooth time of it. Ordinarily
when town takes charge of convention
it is permitted to do as it pleases. but it
appears that on this occasion there is to
be an infringement of that rule. Sur
veyor- General Reichert is at the head of
the Sacramento committee, and under his
direction everything is being done for the
comfort of the delegates that is possible.
In fact, according to the statements OF re-
cent arrivals from the Capital too much
is being done for their comfort, and it is
against one thing that comes under this
head that vigorous protest has already
reached the officers of the State Central
Committee in this city.
The convention consists of S47 delegates,
and the Assembly Cham ber of the Capt.
tol being too small to accommodate
them, the meeting will be held IN the
Agricultural Pavilion, which is on the
easterly end of Capitol Park. 1t is re-
ported that the committee has let the
privilege of dispensing lemonade and
other stronger things TO the delegates to
Arthur Miller, a Sacramento saloon
keeper, ana that ne will establish him
self in one of the wings OF the Pavilion
in regal style. The privilege is bound to
be valuable one, and will net its pos
SCISSOR a good deal of money during the
five or six days the convention will
continue.
Whether, it is this fact or temperance
uprising at the Capital, something has
started vigorous protest against the
proceeding.
Il am not fanatic" said politician
at the Palace Hotel yesterday, "but OBJ
ject to holding the Republican State Con-
vention in barroom. If Mr.. Miller is
allowed to open his bar in the Pavilion
it will cost US 10000 temperance votes"
The opponents of the granting of any
such privilege have presented the matter
to Secretary Bassett of the State Central
Committee, and probably the Sacramento
committee will be quietly required to
dispense with the refreshment addition
to the convention. If that is not done
merry row will be raised over the mat
ter when the delegates reach Sacramento.

PACIFIC RAILROAD BILL.
President Huntington Appears Before
the House Committee.

President Huntington Appears Before
the House Committee.
WASHINGTON, May "a Representa-
tives of the Central Pacific Company ap-
peared before the House Committee on
Pacific Railroads to-day to give their
views on the Pacific Railroad bill intro
duced by Riley of Pennsylvania. Presi-
dent Huntington spoke on the difficulties
encountered, in organizing and building
the roads. The impression that the build
ers had been made rich was erroneous.
When the road was completed there were
no Government bonds left, but many
debts. The company always managed to
keep its credit good. Coal. imported at
first from Australia, was a great expense.
The shares had to be sold from IS to 50 to
pay debts, and Wells Fargo Company
had been paid 81, 800. 900 for carrying the
mails, and the Central Pacific received
but S400, 600.
Chairman Reilly suggested that the last
of the first mortgage bonds would mature
in 1899, and inquired what the road pro-
posed to do.
The President replied that great roads
almost never paid their first mortgage
bonds. They were replaced by other
issues. He was anxious to pay the debt,
but as long as the Government was draw
ing its interest time was no object to it.
Replying to a question from Mr.. Boat
ner, MIR. Huntington said he had SUBJ
mitted no plan of reorganization. Tie
bill submitted to the Senate Committee
was not his own plan, but he was pleased
with it, because it outlined a plan by
which all the creditors would get their
money, and under which the road could
still live. By selling another issue of
mortgage bonds to replace the original
the Government placed sc, ,000, 600 in the
Treasury in ninety days. One hundred
and ten million dollars would be required
ter a mortgage bond issue at y per cent.
10 cover the debts ofthe Government and
all other parties, the Government guarau-
teeiug all the issue. He was certain the
earnings OF the road would be spent TO
detray its current obligations
Representative Boatner reminded
President Huntington that the Govern
uaent had paid interest for years on the
bonds, saying that the supposition had
beeu tuat the road was to pay back the
interest, and inquired whether the road
intended TO p7y the Government the S40,-
COZ. .035 il had expended in that way.
Mr.. Huntington replied no, and said
that Easing the lnatter purely on grounds
Of e,iuily, the road should pay the Gov
ernulent nothing. because the Govern
Inent had crippled the road by subsidiz-
lng rivals winch took away much of the
hnsjness. lie did not question the policy
OF the Governments in this respect. but.
considering il as q financial transaction,
il had lis bearing on this contract.
Mir Huntington knew OF no plan with
out an extension of time. assuring the
committee that the owners of the road
would not administer it for 100 years
without getting anything out OF It

SEAL QUESTION.
Rights of Indians to Use Schooners in
Hehrinp Sea.

Behring Sea.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-The question
OF whether the Makhas Indians of Wash
ington State can legally use schooners in
Behring Sea while sealing has been
brought to the attention of the Treasury
Department.
In communication to the Secretary Of
the Treasury, Secretary Hoke Smith, act
ing on the recommendation of Acting
Commissioner Armstrong; asks to be adj
vlsed whether the Indians, under treaty
between this Government and Great
Britain, concluded February %, 1892, and
a section OF all Act approved April Is, 1894.
governing seal fishing in Behring Sea,
may be permitted 10 use their Schooners
as place OF refuge IN storms and security
and protection ut night while engaged III
fishing for fnr seals in the canoes, as
hthertofore practiced by them. The
correspondence accompanying the letter
dian Commission. telegraphed to Indian
Agent Powell at the Neah Agency:
The Indians may take fur seals in
canoes or unlocked boats, propelled
wholly by paddles, oars or sails and not
used in connection with other vessels or
manned by more than five persons. This
permission is not to apply to Indians III
Shall kill or pursue fur seals outside of
the Territorial waters under contract to
deliver skins to other persons, nor TO
waters of the Behring Sea, or passes be-
tween the Aleutian Islands,
The agent later complained that under
his construction of the opinion he noti-
fed the Indian seaers that they could not
go out IN their schooners and then let
down their canoes and then go out to
spear seals; that he knew they had the
right to go out in their own canoes from
The shore and catch seals, but that it was
impossible, as it would require days
travel to reach the sealing ground in
canoes.
The agent also stated that the Makhas
would incur great hardship ii the per-
mission asked is not given. They have
eight or nine schooners, some of them
bought this season, while others have
just been repaired at heavy cost. The
sealing, says the agent is not done from
these schooners, but they are merely kept
In sight so that the sealers can get to them
at night or in case of a storm. The agent
intimated that the Makhas may not get
through the winter unless they seal now,
owing to the use OF seals for food and
clothing. He questions the benefit the
Indians are to derive from the ownership
OF schoOners if they cannot use them in
the manner indicated.
