CLASHING OF ORDERS.
SChOOnerS Bound for the Sealing
Grounds.
Are Permitted to Depart With Indian
Crews, but Cannot Carry
Firearms.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. June 20.-In
the manner of enforcing the sealing regu-
latiOns there appears to be serious con-
fict between the custom officers and the
commanding officers of the BerDg Sea
patrol fleet.
The schooner George r White. which
arrived last night from SIika. reports be-
ing boarded by officers of the revenue cut
ter CorwiD, whose commander sealed up
her arms and ammunition and ordered the
schooner to return forthwith to Puget
Sound.
Captain Chenoworth of the White asked
permission to proceed to the Japan coast
which is outside of the jurisdiction of the
American and British law. or else remain
in the port of Sitka pending communica-
ton with his owners preliminary to OBJ
tanning permission from the Treasury De-
partment to 20 to the Japan Sea.
These requests were refused by Captain
Munger of the Corwin and Commander
Clark Of the Mohlcan, both Of whom or
dered the schooner to return to Puget
Sound Immediately under threats of
seizure.
These facts were reported to the Collec.
tor of Customs mere to-day by the master
of the White. Collector Saunders said the
Boring commanders are exceeding their
authority. The Collector contends that
the White had a perfect right to proceed
to the japan coast and resume sealing if
she chose. The same privilege is accorded
Canadian sealers by British men-of-war.
The matter will be reported to Washing
ton. Contrary to this policy customs
officers cleared the sealing schooners
James G. Swan and Columbia and per-
mitted them to depart tonight for Una
laska. The owners of the schooners were
ordered not TO take guns or ammunition
on board. This order was obeyed and the
Indian crews are now armed with spears.
1t is believed that both vessels will take ON
firearms when outside Cape Fiattery.
The masters of the sehooners were
cautioned not to kill any seals. The
scbooners are commanded by white men
and manned by Indians. 1t is not likely
the vessels would go TO Unalaska on a
pleasure voyage and the only other appar-
ent object is to seal. Seven sealing schoon-
ers under similar conditions cleared and
sailed from Victoria this week for the
North Pacific Ocean. Owners OF sealing
vessels claim the Boring Sea officers are
very arbitrary and that their rulings are
subjeeting their craft to unnecessary
haIdshins, which will result in financial
loss.

WAS ONLY A SQUALL
Swept Across the Prairie With
Mighty Force.
An Uncomfortable Ending TO a Day
Which Was Most URcomfort-
ably Warm.

OMAHA, Nebr.. June 2O.-Between 80
and o'clock this evening Omaha was
visited by one of the strongest gales expe-
rieDced here in years. The wind came
from about two points west of south and
blew IN gusts for about half an hour,
attaining at times a velocity of nearly
forty miles an hour. 1t was accompanied
by dense clouds of dust, which obscured
the sky and made it as dark as midnight.
Much damage of minor nature was done
all over the city. Shade trees and shrub
berry were blown down or broken off, and
in some cases traffic was bIockaded by
trees falling across the street at the JEFF
ferson square. near the center of the city.
nearly every tree was blown down. Part
OF the roof of the Woodman Linseed Oil
Works was blown off. The Murray Hotel
was partially unrOofed. The glass roof Of
the Bee building was damaged some, and
a portion Of the terra Gotta ornamental
work on the Boyd Opera-house was blown
off.
At CORTLAND Beach one man was caught
in boat on the lake and drowned. His
body has not been recovered. and il is moi
known whether the victim is Braden, the
boat-ten1er, or O'Brien, his assistant.
At the Ames-avenue street carhouse one
of the electric wires was blown into a
tree, and Foreman Parish climbed up to
fix it. He received fatal shot from the
wire.
The most serious reports come from
Lincoln. 1t was rumored directly after
the blow in Omaha that the capital city
had been visited by a tornado. Many re.
ports of buildings being destroyed and
lives lost were rife. and as telegraph CON-
munication was interrupted for an hour oil
so it was impossible to learn the truth
As soon as the Western Union coud get s
wire working the Lincoln Office reported
that the storm there was similar to the
one in Omaha, only a severe gale with nc
serious damage and no loss of life as faI
as could be learned. Passengers who
came in on the Burlington trains which
passed through the storm report that the
damage in the country was blu. light.
From all directions word comes of high
wind and light rain. 1t seems to have
been merely a squat at the close Of an
unusually hot and sultry day.

Getting the Atchison Ready for Its
Reorganization.

Reorganization.
NEW YORK, June 21.-The plan of re-
organization Of the Atchison Company has
been submitted by the reorganization COM
mittee. The plan contenplates fore
closure either under the general mortgage,
dated October 10, 1889. or under the second
mortgage, dated May 1. 1892, securing the
so-called Atlantic and Pacific bonds, and
the formation by the purchasers at such
sale Of new company which will be freed
from all obligations of the present company
except such as are prior to the mortgage
foreclosed, or are assumed by the new
company. If foreclosure is had under the
general mortgage the new company will
provide for the payment of past due inter-
est on the general mortgage bonds, and
will issue new bonds to the holders of the
general mortgage bonds. such new bonds
to have the same lien and to be the same
in terms as the old bonds. The new COM
pany will create an issue of 50-year income
bonds secured by mortgage covering the
same property as the new second mort
gage. The total authorized amount of
such income bonds shall be limited TO
S115.0OO,OO0. Such income bonds shall be
entitled 10 per cent interest per annum,
payable annually out of net earnings.
The stock of the new company, less such
amount as NAV be required to qualify
directors, is to be held by trust company
until interest at the rate of per cent shall
have been earned and paid on the new in
come bonds for three consecutive years,
and negotiable trust certificates will be
issued by such trust company against the
stock held in trust. The asserting holders
of stock shall receive negotiable trust GER
titicates representing one share of new
stock for each share so deposited upon
which the assessment has been paid in
full, together with income bonds for the
assessments.

for the brief period which he covers.
He has sifted the evidence before
him and has written, said nor con-
cealed anything from fear. favor or affec-
ton. For this side of the continent Mr..
Hubert Howe Bancroft has gathered and
compiled mass of material which will en-
able the future historian to compose a
truthful. reliable and graphic account of
the settlement and early days of the States
on the Pacific. Charles Gayarre performed
in rather disconnected way similar ser
vice for Louisiana. It is greatly to be de-
sired that conscien tious students will do as
much for their respective States.
In some of the new States. such as Mon-
tana and Idaho, the State governments or
State historical societies are now having
local histories prepared. the cost being de-
frayed by local subscriptions or legislative
appropriations. But the condition of these
publications Is that the bistoriographer
shall puff the State he describes aud shall
dilate upon the virtue and the heroism and
the piety of Its early settlers. Many of
these eulogies may be deserved and many
not. Ii not such matter has no proper
place in the official critical history. The
new States which are now producing vol
umes of territorial annals should give their

THE PANAMA LINE.

Mr.. Hinton of the Panama Railroad
Company says that the New York deciS-
ion to prevent competition in the Central
American business does not interfere with
the work the Panama Company has been
doing between New York and San Fran
cisco The last year. The permanent in
Junction, Mr.. Hinton says, causes no
change in existing conditions. The com
pany has made arrangements to continue
the operation of the through line between
New York and San Francisco until next
May. Should the San Joaquin Railroad
be in the process of construction at that
time there will be no trouble about a per-
manent line by way of the isthmus. These
two lines will supplement each other. The
goods the Panama Company brings to this
city will be distributed through the in terror
by the valley road. The business of tn g
Panama Company would be largely in
creased by the opening of the road. There
would then be prospect for the future
which would justify the Panama Company

business.

HISTORY, PAST AND FUTURE

1t is occurring to people who think on
the subject that an effort should be made
to give the public more truthful informa-
ton regarding the past than they now en-
JOY. The first thing which student of
history discovers Is that the books which
be tackles often lack the information be
needs. Our own history as taught in
schools contains great deal OF legendary
matter that would hardly pass the cr,ti-
cism of historical esearch. Yet perhaps
il is all the better that children should
have some measure of such matter. Ma
tional legends have their value in shaping
national character. Perhaps our pilgrim
fathers and Revolutionary heroes were not
in every instance all that our school his
tories paint them. but our boys and girls
grow up better Americans for believing
the best Of them. Later life is the time
for criticism. We cannot afford to lose
the enthusiasms and illusions of youth.
For that later life il IS needful that more
critical history should be written.
Every now aud then writer looms up
who writes nothing that cannot be proved
by evidence, and by and by these conscen-
tious workmen will lay the foundations
for a real history of the United States.
Such a writer is Mr.. Adams, who has
thrown light on the early history of New
England. Another is Mr.. McMaster.

LESSONS To BE REMEMBERED.
DECEMBER, 1894

The proceedings in Judge Wallace's de-
partment Of the Superior Court force the
conclusion upon the minds of thinking
people that a considerable proportion of
men who cannot be rated as outcasts have
no intelligent appreciation of the crime of
perjury. Most of the men under investi-
cation appear to have had shadowy idea
that in taking false oath they were simply
exposing themselves 10 a remote danger
which little money or political Influence
would ward of. Two of these witnesses
admit that they swore falsely to accom-
modate friend. They swore they lived
where they did not live that they might
cast vote that would in some way serve
TO advance the interests of their friend
In most cases it is likely that the request
to register in certain district was attend
ant with more or less vague promises OF
benefits to result.
The proceedings before Judge Wallace
will fail in their utmost effect if the candi-
date in whose behalf so much perjury was
committed is not brought to trial. It is
not conceivable that Deputy Sternberg
was taking the chances he did without
any other motive than to help his friend
Senator MahOney. A man OF a certain grade
of intelligence sees no harm in importur-
ing acquaintance to vote for his favorite
candidate. but such men generally stop at
importunity. They do not expose them
selves to the penitentiary 10 secure few
votes for their favnrite ca ndidate

THE OCEAN CARRYING TRADE.

The ocean carrying trade, as has already
been said, Is done on trade basis.
1t has been found lmpractieable to dis
eriminate by means of duties between
goods brought in G native and in foreign
vessel. Tariff methods, which apply only
to foreign goods, do not adapt themselves
TO the vessel in which goods are carried.
Admitting then the impracticability of
protecting the carrying trade, the necas-
sity is forced upon US Of doing the work as
cheaply as any other nation can do IL. AT
the beginning we must have ships at about
the cost of the ships of our competitors.
Then we must be able to navigate these
ships as cheaply as foreign ships are navi-
gated, The principal items of the cost of
navigation are wages, stores and taxes. A
nation that com petes for the ocean carry
Ing trade cannot pay much higher wages
than competitors. unless higher wages
secure better services in proportion to
wages. If twenty men of one nationality
can do the work of twenty-five men OF
competing nati0nalilies the compensation
may be in pro portion. In respect to stores
vessels of different nations are nearly upon
an equality. Having both home and for.
eign ports to choose from in laying in
stores. the lowest priced will ordinarily be
patronzed. The item of taxes can be
evaded in the same way. Ships naturally
seek the port that places the highest bur-
| dens on their business. Nations seeking the
ocean carrying trade make Its burdens as
| light as possible. No nation has such Al
advantage over its competitors that any
| considera BILE item of cost can safely be
overlooked.
The United States will get its share o.
the ocean carrying trade when it can de
the work as cheaply as other nations
Cheap ships would do little good withou
cheap crews. cheap stores and low taxes
| Steamship lines may be subsidized directly
or indirectly. but that method of protec-
ton cannot well be applied to ordinary
| merchant craft.

STATE BANKS.

Washington correspondence indicates
that some kind of a currency scheme,
based upon the plan of the Treasury De-
partment, is to be forced through the
House at the present session. 1t is stated
also that the Democrats are won over to
the currency scheme by the belief that if
the Democratic Congress does not adopt it
the succeeding Republican Congress will.
There is reason 10 doubt, however, if this
is the reason why the Southern Democrats
are coming around. The Carlisle plan DR.
poses to repeal the tax ON such State banks
as conform to certain requirements the
treasury will impose.
There appears TO be considerable poll
tics in this plan of battle. In November
the solid South was broken. Very nat
urallv the Democrats want to recover lost
ground. How can lost ground in the South
be recovered more readily than by re-
vival of the system of State banks? 1t
may be urged in behalf of this measure
that it is in substantial accord with the
Chicago platform. The general scheme
outlin d by Secretary Carlisle is an enter
ing wedge for a revival of State banks.
Why not State as we'll as Federal banks.
If both are substantially under the same
supervision? Any bank that issues cur
rency notes upon its capital is.oDen 10 the
objections urged against State banks. Il
will be impossible for the Treasury De.
partment to exercise the vigilance over Sc
many banks that will be necessary to &C.
cure the solvency of their currency The
Carlisle plan is more dangerous than the
propositions made at various times to
allow national banks to deposit other
securities than national bonds. There are
other securities which may serve with
about equal safety as such basis. Safe
bonds anc the bonds Of several cities
might serve as basis with larger mar
gin of security than is required In the case

THE CHINESE TREATY.

The Yang Yu-Gresham Chinese treaty
has safely passed all the perils of birth.
1t was launched into kind of embryo ex-
istenee in Washington, sent 10 Picking,
carefully considered by the proper author
tiles and has been returned to the place of
its origin. Minister Yang Yu and Secre-
tary Gresham have exchanged the fual
ratification and nothing now remains but
to proclaim it the lew of the land. 10 all
matters relating to the immigration OF
Chinese laborers it repeats all laws that
conflict with it. At least such is the pre-
vailing impression. There is. however, a
contention that law enacted by the two
houses Of Congress and signed by the
President cannot be repealed by less au
thority than enacted it. The House has
not yet given its assent to the treaty, but
may do so on proposition TO appropriate
money TO carry it into effect. The new
treaty will doubtless revive the Chinese
question on the Pacific Coast and create an
Issue in the East. 1t will not be long be-
fore the procession of coolies in search OF
relatives or bent on collecting debts will
naterialZe. The Characteristic elasticity
of the Chinese conscience in respect to
taking oaths will then be displayed.
The silver lining of this cloud appears
In the fact that workingmeD in the East
are beginning to comprehend the magni.
tude of the Chinese immigration question.
When the exclusion act was passed there
was no large number of whits men out Of
employment. Not finding themselve:
crowded by the Chinese they gave little
heed TO reports from this coast. But now
work is scarce. The number of would-be
workers who cannot find work runs up To-
ward million. These idle men Will no
remain silent while the cheap Chinese
worker slips into places that white me1
would otherwise fill.
