CATCH OF SEALS.
More of These Animals Taken This
Year Than Last.

More OF These Animals taken IA1s
Year Than Last.
The State Department has published an
official report from United States Consul
Roberts at Victoria upon the seal catch OF
the British Columbian sealing feet last
year. The figures were compiled by Col
lector Milne. The consul says they show
the catch to be the largest ever mado IN a
single year and that the fear once enter
tanned that the hunters would be seriously
handicapped by the compulsory use of the
spear has been overcome. The white hunt
ers have quickly learned it's use and now
are as skillful with it as the Indian. The
catch was not so fatal to the females as
was once claimed, the statistics showing the
proportion of males caught to ne much
larger than expected. The total Canadian
catch was 4.4I4. and Of those taken In
Bering sea IL, 705 were males and 14.63G fe-
males. The catch in 1893 was 7O332. In
addition this year 513 skins taken by Amer
lean schooners were landed at Victoria,
bringing up to 95.04S the total number of
993 skins off the japanese coast, 1851 In
Boring sea. II. 70s off the British Columbian
coast and 7137 Off Cooper Island. The re-
port states that the Boring sea ventures
were barren of profit except to the crews,
who made fair wages.
An intimation of further claims against
the United States is found in the release of
tac seized Schooners FavOrite and Wan
derer without any formal investigation and
the prompt fling py their masters with Col
lector Milne of claims :or damages.

A TURKISH STATEMENT.
An Official Communication I'm Regar
to the SassOun Troubles.

An Official Communication I'm Regard
to the Snssoun Troubles.
The Turkish legation here has made pub
lie the following communication from Con-
stantinople:
1T is indeed strange to observe the I'M
willingness on the part of some newspapers
to wait and see what the Sassoun troubles
really were and who was actually response
BILE for them. The sublime porte has taken
all the precautionary measures necessitated
by the case and there cannot possibly re-
main any reasonable doubt, if not, perhaps,
in the minds Of revolutionists and their
friends. that the appointed commission to
investigate this affair will bring about
facts as they are in reality. The assertions
already made by people connected with the
revolt in Turkey are SO numerous and so
shcckingly erroneous that it is truly inn
possible to answer them ALL 1t is not true
that the governor of Bitlis recruited SOL
diers amongst the kurds. 1t is not true
that women and children were massacred.
On the contrary, they were protected by
the Soldiery, as 1T was the case for In
stance, with the women near ku Ruzart.
All cattle were also restituted to their own
erS, in conformity with strict orders from
the Bitlis authorities. The assertion made
that six villages were burnt is simply pre-
posterous, as no six villages are to be found
round about the place Whefe the reFOit HrSt
broke out. In that region there are no
mere than ten villages, some of which were
set on fire by the revolutionists themselves,
who acted exactly according to Rev. Cyrus
Hamlin's prophetic statement of the 23d
of December, '93: The Armenian Huntch-
aguisD bands, organized all over the en-
pire, will watch their opportunities to kill
Turks and Kurds set fire to their villages
and then make their escape into the noun
tains, &C.
1T is net true, either, that garments OF
priests and objects belonging to churches
were publicly sold at Monsh. In order to
further show the efforts OF the revoiu-
tionary Armenian party in fomenting
troubles in Turkey. suffice ii to cite the
letter that the Armenian newspaper Tro-
chalk which is published in London. in
variably gives to its emissaries of sedition
and revolt. The stamp of the paper has
in the center a hand holding a flag crossed
by dagger, with a red cap and a PEN"

CAN'T PAY THE MONEY.
Controller BOwler's Decision ON the
Commissioners Request.

Commissioners Request.
Judge Bowler controller of the treasury,
recently received communication from
the District Commissioners, saying that
the period OF five years during which the
H. L. Crawford Paving Company were
under obligation to keep in repair certain
streets, improved under contracts made by
them with the District Com missioners, has
expired, and saying also that all repairs,
except some to the surface of the streets
which cannot be satisfactorily made In
winter have been made by the contractors,
the contractors are ready to make any re-
pairs demanded by the Commissioners ana
they ask immediate payment OF the
amounts retained, being wiling at the
same time to enter into an agreement WIN
good and sufficient sureties to execute the
additional necessary repairs whenever
called upon by the Commissioners 10 40 So
The Commissioners asked the controiier
whether they are authorized TO pay tue
contractors the guarantee luna upon inc
execution of the bond.
Judge Bowler replied to their inquiry as
follows: by the provisions CT the act OF
June II, 1878, providing permanent iorih
Of government for the District OF Column
bia. ten per cent of the cost OF all new
works shall be retained as an additiohal
security and as guarantee iuno 10 heep
the same in repair LOT saio term oi'1
years..
"No provision Is made for substituting a
bond in lieu of the retained ten per cent
If the repairs have all been made II IS the
contractors right to receive the ten per
cent at the expiration OF the five years
If the streets are not iE proper repair II
Is certainly the duty OF the commissioner
10 withhoId The payment of the ten per
cent until the streets are in proper. repair
IA Congress has made To provision for
substituting a bond for the retained ten
DER cent, 1t is not within the power OF the
fromIniss;opers or of the COR Noller to
cj1anse the law, which Congress- has made
am therefore clearly of the opinion that
it is not within the power of the Commis.
sioners to pay the retained zen per cen, i,

STREET RAILROAD DIRECTORS.
The Annual Elections Held by Several
Companies Today.

The Annual Elections Held by Several
Companies Today.
The following board of directors was
elected this. afternoon by the stockholders
of the Washington and Georgetown Rail-
road Company: Henry Hurt, Charles c.
Glover. George 7. Dunlop. Archibald II.
Lowery, John G. Parke, John r. Mclean
and Robert Beall.
The choice Of officers resulted in the Sc
lection OF the following: George T. Dun
lop, president; Charles Z. Glover, vice
president; c. NJ. Coomes, secretary and
treasurer; e. G. Sailer, general superin-
tendent, and d. S. CARL, chief engineer.
Mr.. Dunlop, in his annual report to the
beard Of directors, stated that there had
been a substantial increase in the receipts
of the road during the past year. He re-
ferred to the change that has been made
in the system OF issuing transfers. and
further said that with an increase in the
discipline and efficiency of the employees
there had been fewer accidents and less
money expended for damages than ever be-
fore.
During the twelve months not an in
stance had been recorded of the cutting OF
4 cable. The whole cost to December 81.
1894, OF changing the motive power from
horse to cable and Of reconstructing the
central power station was s., Cos 45U.29.
President Dunlop stated to Star
porter that the Washington and George
town road is not considering any plans
and Soldiers Home and the Belt line COM
panies, has been published.
1T was the proposition of the lexington
road that we. should transfer from our
Georgetown to their G street line at 18th
street." said MR. Dunlop, and they dis
continued the Arrangement. There would
be no sense ih transferring their passen-
gers to our 14kh street line, for the reason
that the Belt,eh line. which is allied to The
E,c kington, runs parallel and but three
blocks from the l4th street cable
Then, again, Why should We transfer
with the Belt line at 18th street and Penn
Sylvania avenue, In order that passengers
printing 'front.' the eastern section of the
city, when the lexington road transfers
passengers at 3lth and G streets to the
Belt line, and the tlatter goes direct to the
bureau? i2 N
LAS said before, the lexington road, or
its allies, parallel our lines in every direc-
ton. except TO- Georgetown, and they
terminated the arrangement to reach that
territory. We are most certainly not con-
siderinG any proposition to transfer with
any read"
Directors of the lexington and Soldiers
Home Railroad Company were elected this
afternoon to serve for the ensuing year as
Wallace Greene. Andrew Glass. II. X.
Gray. Richard A. Johnson, D. N. Newbold,

TIE CAUSE REVEALED
Discovery Of a Subtle and Life
Destroying Acid.
LODGED IN THE BODY
The Way by Which 1t Gets Into the
of Great Value and Interest.

ANY man woman who can go through the
trying winters and springs of this climate without
suffering from rheumatism neuralgia pains of
some kind is decidedly Fortunate 1t DIR.
Hamilton, the popular physician. who declared This
while talking to some frienis at the club. Con-
tinuing he said:
What 1t Is that causes these pains has tecn
a greater mystery TO physicians AMI scientists
than almost any other question. Some have de-
clared that they the r..sul:s Of severe Geld.
others that impr,,lcnt exposure has caused them.
and still Others that they aIise from blood poison
log.
In order to obtain, II possible. correct thecIy
of rheumatism and all the aches and pains which
accompany 1t, certain authorities I'm Washington
have taken steps to obtain the views Of The ply
sicians Of America apon the subject. These views
are Of varied nature, but 80 overwhelming n
proportion hold to BELIEF to leave but httle
doubt that 1t Is a corrs.t This belief, briefly
stated Is that uric acid in the boei causes rheum
atsm and that 1t Is only by removing this poisonous
acid that rheumatism neuralgia troubles, In all
their terrible FORMS be cured. This being true,
the important question arises. How docs the uric
acid get into the blood. and how can 1t best be
removedT
Uric acid finds its way into the blood because
the kidneys weakened and cannot throw 1t
from the system. Restore the kidneys and you will
the power that will force the uric acid from
the body and thus Danish the rheumatic agonies
which 1t causes.
This Is reason: 1t is science; 1t Is true. No
one whose kidneys in q perfect condition was
ever troubled with rheumatism, and no rheumatic
sufferer, however slight the pain may be. has
perfect kidneys. The conclusion of the truth Is
inevitable. Perfect Kidneys mean freedom from
rheumatism.
There never was, and probably never VIII be,
but one remedy that can, In every case drive uric
acid from the blood. That remedy Is Warmers Safe
Cure. 1t cures rheumatism by eliminating the
deadly uric acid 1t banishes pain by removing the
cause. 1t acts directly upon the kidneys. Within
an hour from the time 1t Is taken Its influence Will
be felt 1t sustains the organs that sustain ll1e'
the forces that make the blood. For ladies' during
the severe ordeals through which they COM
PEELED to pass 1t is Invaluable. For the nervous
troubles of youth and the debility that precedes
old age 1t has no rival There are thousands OF
men, and women, too, who are in perfect health

WANTS IMPROVEMENTS.
North Capitol Association Speaks of
Bad Streets.


North Capitol Association Speaks of
Bad Streets.
The Commissioners gave hearing this
morning to delegation from the North
Capitol Improvement Association. urging
upon them the necessity of placing upon
the schedule of streets for improvement
the following streets, and that Congress be
asked to appropriate for the improvement
of said streets:
North Capitol street, from o to Florida
avenue: o street. from New Jersey avenue
to LIST street east; P street. from North
Capitol street to Florida avenue; LIST street
west, from Pierce street to Florida avenue;
I'D street west, from P street to Florida
avenue; Q street, from Sd street to Florida
avenue, and N street, from North Capitol
street east (grAde).
The delegation consisted of Messrs Geo.
c. Esther, Earnest DAZZLE, Lorenzo Stelzle.
Allison Nailor, Thomas Heany and John
Keefer. Mr.. Allison Nailor acted as spokes-
of resolutions which were unanimously
adopted at a recent meeting Of the Nor IN
Capitol Improvement Association.
He said that the majority of the members
of that association are property owners
who for ten years or more have been pay
ing taxes upon property In the locality
above referred to, and have seen little or
nothing done toward its street improve
lenI. 1H.S SectiOn, ne SalU. Is now Wen
built up, and the health and convenience
of its residents require better streets than
the combinations of mud and dust which
are now required to do service in that re-
spect Mr.. Nailor further urged that the
Commissioners be requested to direct the
lexington and Soldiers Home Railway
Company to pave between their tracks on
North Capitol street between New York
avenue and o street; and that their at
tention be called to the necessity for the
elevation of the gutter at the northeast
corner of p and North Capitol streets, in
which there is pool of water, and to the
need Of repairs to the pavement at the
same point. The Commissioners promised
to give the matter due consideration.

CARLISLE, IN CONSULTATION.
He Wants an Effort Made to Resurrec,
the Bill

the Bin
At 2:45 Secretary Carlisle arrived at the
Capitol and held consultation with Speak
er Crisp in the latters room on the subject
of the defeat Of the currency bill. Mr.. Car
Isle, 1t Is understood, was very urgent in
his request for an immediate effort to
resurrect the measure.
Representative Bland, the exponent Of
the silver element in the House who aided
in the defeat of the rule, said:
1.-The vote undoubtedly means the aban-
Comment Of all hope to pass the Carlisle
bill in its present form.
But 1t Is too soon to say that tt ends the
possibility OF any legislation by this Con-
gress AS long as the effort is made to
give a monopoly, to national banks and ex-
clude silver the plan will be fought. There
may yet be time to frame a measure ade-
quate for the present situation. but it Is
certain that any such measure will give
proper recognition to silver"
The views of Mr.. Bland and his associates
led many members to believe that the re-
verse of today might yet be turned into VIC
tory by making concessions to the silver
men. Their votes would be much more
than sufficient to carry the rule and the
BILL 1t would be such a radical step, how
ever, In bringing silver into the question,
that the conservative men did not regard
the plan as feasible.
1t was, however, the main topic of pros
pective action.
On the republican side the opinion was
general that the defeat of the rule ended
all chance of currency legislation in this
Congress. Mr.. Reed would not enter into
a detailed discussion of the turn OF affairs.
His face assumed a serious aspect as he re-
ferred to this last conspicuous showing of
the inability of the majority TO discharge
the grave duties imposed upon them"

No Further Effort to He Made for FL

No Further Effort to he Made for FL
nancial LeEisla ton.
The opinion Is practically universal at the
Capitol that no further effort will be made
by the democrats to secure financial legis-
lation, but that they will proceed to dispose
of the appropriation bills and other routine
matters Us speedily possible and that
nothing of consequence will be done during
the session.
Few. IL any, express any doubt that there
will be an extra session of the Fifty-fourth
Congress. Mr.. Hill and few others in the
Senate think that all effort to secure finan-
cial legislation should not be abandoned,
but the members who are willing to go
ahead are few, and those who have any
hope Of success are still fewer.
Senator Henderson said to a Star re-
porter that he regarded the action of the
House as settling it definitely that there
would be no financial legislation at this
session. 1t might even be. he said. that
they would not get through all their ap-
preparations. He thought the session
would end with fiasco, and that the next
Congress would be called together in spe-
cial session.
