dorsed by the Labor Council.
AT meeting of the Council Of Federated
Trades last evening tile resolutions adopted by
the Journeymen Tailors Union, respecting the
recent order with regard TO The uniforms OF
letter-carriers, were Endorsed without com.
ment.
The story of the grievance which came up at
last nights meeting formed the subject OF
story published exclusively in THE CALL some
days ago. Postmaster General Bissell had
Issued an order TO the etfecI that the orders for
uniforms for the letter carriers throughout the
United States should be given TO anu executed
by: the firm of Feclheimer & Co. of Cincinnati.
This order was communicated in due course TO
Postmaster BacKus OF this city, and caused
great indignation among the members of The
IailOfs' Union In this city.
The result was that at last Mondays meeti ng
or the union resolutions were drawn UP and.
adopted coudemhing the action of the Post
lnaster.General as being In violation of The
spirit II not the letter Of The constitution of the
United States, as we'll of the laws of Cali
fornia, and recommending the deliberation of

lions forwarded to the Postmaster General at

the shooting of doves. The Koreans are
proverbially kind to their animals, and
their cattle are very kind and tame. Inc
Japanese, too, are fond of their pets and
so are the Chinese They kill game large
~. but 1t is for the markets. Of course
vast number of the Orientals are buddhlsts
and one of the tenets of that faith is 10
avoid the taking of life"
General FOote didn't stop at the killing
OF doves. He said earnestly: Il believe
the next great reformatOry movement In
this country will be in relation to animals.
Our wild animals are becoming extinct.
The farmer boy grows up with the idea
that he shoold shoot everything in sight.
He kills unfortunately. and the game Is
being driven out of the country. This Is
not as II should be. We are very cruel
race to animals, and reform is sadly
needed. As to shooting doves for sport.
that Is only one phase of it. Ii is brutal
sport and should be stopped"
1t IS hard to get an opinion out of Gen.
eral w. ID. l.. Barnes on dove-shooting.
The reason for this is that the LAWYER and
orator is an active member of the Country
Club.
Il could hardly say anything when am
a member Of that club" said the general,
with a smile, but be added with some
emphasis: There is difference between
killing doves to eat and killing them for
sport, though-a big difference" And
then he asked suddenly: How is the
Popullst vote going 10 be IN the country ?"
Beng reminded that that was hardly an
answer TO the question as to whether it
were a gentiemsnly thingto shoot doves in
sport. he answered that he would not care
to answer the question.
Are you going to the shoot yourself,
general?" asked the reporter.
No. sir; l am mol" replied he with a
vlgor that left no doubt that while the
general likes the dove as dish he objects
to seeing them slaughtered. He turned to
speak Of some of the political blue rocks
on which the general would like to draw a
bead. and, evading alike what constituted
gentleman or whether Strengthening doves
was gentiemanly sport, went on to say
solemnly: There will be a Populist Gov
ernor of this State next time. and l
wouldn't be bit surprised to see ODOn-
nell Mayor of San Francisco. How do i
make that out? Easy enough. Wewill
have to divide the vote in this city between
the Republican, Democratic. POpulist.
ODonnell party and the Non-Partisan
tickets l tell you we can't take care OF
our men. As to the State. the POpulIsts
will draw from the other two parties.
There are only $4,000 votes or so in the
State, and | tell you old Webster will go
in flying. There's no doubt of it,"
Then you won't give me your opinion
ON dove-shOOting," interjected the news
paper man as the general paused.
mo, sir; but l tell you there's big
difference between shooting them to eat
and shooting them for sport. and I'm not
going TO that shoot. Come and talk to me
again when you have a subject on which l
am at liberty TO express my opinion"

the customers would go in and nothing

their employees are deing and stricter

A GOOD CATCH.

Credit for 1t.
Captain johnson of the sealing schooner
Winchester has good cause to be indignant
over therepOrt that the size OF his catch was
due to the fact that good sealing ground had
been recommended to him by another captain.
The statement, which was published in several
papers, is ridiculous on its. face.
The captain worked under great dfsad-
vantage, as he:had three green men on board.
When he was told about 'tthe happy hunting
grounds" however; he haG 500 skins on beard
or only few skins less than the average of the

Regarding: the story told about he captain s
trouble: in the .BOwheadsd9on with his nuut-
ers, the: attack made upon HIM was a very.
cowardly one. He did demonstrate with his
men for trying to convey the Impression that
the 'Winchester's catch was due. to Captain
Noyes "points'' rather than 10 hard work, but

Tug Seguin in Trouble.

The tug Seguin met with a mishap
Thursday off Jeffries, that made quite
movement in shipping, circles. The
Seguin, which is large ocean tug. was
on her wayssfrom the Kennebec to New
York, with the two ice barges Bristol
and Bravo in tow. When off Jeffries her
propeller shaft broke, completely disab-
ling her. The schooner Island Queen and
a coaster came along about that time.
The coaster towed the Seguin into Port
land, while the Island Queen brought
the barges to Richmond's Island. Yes
terday morning the tug Demarest
brought in the barges and turned them
over to the Clara Clarita, which carried
them on to New York. The Demarest
then took.the Seguin in tow for Bath.
The Seguin's shaft was sseight inches in
diameter, and to repair the break will
be an expensive job. The Demarest found
the Seguin a heavy tow to Bath, but
made the distance in six hours end re-
turned last evening.

PLAYiNG.CARDs.
just Now Many Dealers Are Shy of Selling
Them-The New Tax Makes Complica-
tions.

The new tariff and internal revenue
is causing considerable bother for the
dealers in playing cards. By the new
law every. pack of such cards must have
affixed to it two-cent internal revenue
stamp, similar to that formerly seen on
every bunch of matches. The law pre-
scribes a penalty of $50 for every pack
of cards sold after August 20 without
tn stamp: but local dealers have as yet
been unable to procure the stamps be-
cause sthe government has not made
them ready.
The internal revenue agents for this
district are unable to say when the
stamps will beIready. and the dealers are
in a dilema. One agent advised dealer
to keep record of all the cards sold
since the 2sth, and settle with sthe gov
eminent when the stamps come. But this
would be technical violation of the
law, which some at least do not wish to
do. Several large dealers in playing
cards heresshave discontinued sales until
the matter is cleared up.
