SEALS DIFFERENTIATED.
Gov. Sheakley So Reports--Laws
Needed in Alaska

Needed in Alaska.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 11.-Some inter-
esting facts In regard to Alaskan seal
fisheries were stated to the house COM
mittee on territories by Gov. Sheakley,
of Alaska, today. The governor de-
clares that the seals are practically ex-
tlnct. and will be entirely extinct
within short time. Although the gov
eminent authorized the killing of $4,000
last year by the fur company, they
could find but $4,000 for the market.
He said or less than $4,000 pups had
died because their mothers were killed
by poachers. Poaching is largely car
ried on, he said, Notwithstanding re-
cent legislation. Temperance people
would find a field for their work
in Alaska. also. according TO the
governor, who asserted that while the
territory was prohibition by law, it was
free whisky in practice. Traders had
only to secure certificate from the
commissioner of internal revenue TO
carry on their business. The liquor
trade f1Ourished among the miners and
people employed in the canneries. and,
while Indians were occasionally con-
victed, no white men had ever been
punished for selling liquor.
The governor recommended the sub
sttution of license system tor the pro-
hlbitory law, or else authority to en-
force the latter. He deprecated the es~
adjustment of a territorial government
for Alaska, but asked that the governor
be given authority to appoint commits
sions for tie courts in remote settle
ments, and desires improved mail facll>
tiles up the Yukon river, where the
mail is now carried but once year.

COL. INGERSoLL'S LECTURE.

Vastly Varian. who has been on trial
for his life the past three days IN the
criminal branch Of the district court for
the murder of Joseph Podane in No
vember, was acquitted by jury yester-
day and released from custody.
The trial was completed at noon yes
terdaY, with the exception of the bring
ing of the verdict. The story which
had been told by the three Tkatz peo-
pie, who lived in the house where Var
ian lived and in which the deed was
done. was so complete and tailed SO ex-
actlv with the story told by Varian
afterward, that it was practically I'M
necessary to introduce any other tests
mony, and the morning was devoted
to the addresses to the jury, together
with a little additional testimony re-
garding the previous good character of
the prisoner.
Theodore Sivany, Paul Mesher and
John Corey all testified that Narian
was quiet and uEobtrusive, never pick
ing a quarrel and not at all ugly.
George Falezy corroborated that state
ment, and Officer August Mundry was
called. lie had never heard that Po-
dane was especially quarrelsome. Like
the other Poles, he always drank beer.
At the close of Mundry's testimony,
Assistant County Attorney Peter
son addressed the jury for the
state He thought it was plain
that Varian had intended to kill
Podane when lie struck him
with the knife. He also agreed with
the county attorney, who opened the
case, that there was no opportunity for
averdict of guilty of murder in the first
degree. He wanted the jury TO do what
the case called for, and bring in YER
diet that the evidence plainly Indicated
mansiaughter.
Judge Quinn spoke for the prisoner
earnestly and with force. He urged
upon the jury to acquit his client on the
ground that he had merely acted i'll
scif-defenSe, and had done what any
other man would have done under the
circumstances. The speaker took the
opportunity to roast the grand jury to
rich brown, calling ii relic of the past.
Judge Smiths charge TO the jury
eliminated the question of murder III
the first degree. He charged the jury
that it must find the prisoner guilty of
murder in the second degree, NAH
slaughter in the first degree. or find
that it was justifiable homicide and
bring in all acquittal.
The jury were out only short while
and brought in a verdict of acq initial.

SALVADOR is HUFFY
at Ezeta's Discharge - Wants
Treaty Terminated.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Responding
to resolution of the senate the presl-
dent has sent to that body complete
copy OF the eXtradition proceedings of
Gen. Ezeta, late vice president of San
Salvador, and other refugees who were
granted asylum on board the Benning.
ton. The record is very voluminous.
1t appears from the correspondence
that the authorities of the new govern
ment Of Salvador made strenuous eff
forts to nave Ezeta and his companions
surrendered to them, both immediately
after they took refuge oil board the
Bennington and after his discharge at
San Francisco. on the ground that he
was common criminal. but this de-
mand was resisted in both instances.
There were telegratns from brothers of
Ezeta representing that his surrender
was sure to be followed BY his execu-
ton.
Much of the correspondence is of a
technical legal character. Among other
documents enclosed is one from JAG
clnto Cestellanos, Salvadotian minister
of foreign affairs, dated Oct. 8, after the
discharge of EZeta, giving notice of the
desire of his government for the termi
nation of the eXtradition treaty between
that country and this at the end of the
period for which it is now in force, and
suggesting its Immediate termination
by special convention. Replying to
this, Secretary Gresham calls attention
to the fact that the existing treaty does
not expire until 1900, and he says this
government sees no reason for termi-
mating 1t at an earlier date.

ELOQUENT INGERsoLL.
a Large Audience to Hear His
Lecture at the Lyceum.

Col Robert G. Ingersoll delivered his
famous lecture on 1.-The Bible" last
night at the Lyceum theater before a
large audience. The doughty colonel
was as eloquent as ever, and said that if
ministers, lawyers, society men and
merchants were afraid to attack the
Bible and discuss it in an impartial
way, he wasn't. He first took book by
book of the Old Testament and at
tempted to prove, with some very
strong arguments, that they were not
written by those to whom they were
ascribed If tile Old Testament was
bad the New Testament was worse.
Every man had III his brain germ
which was supposed to give him the
right Of thinking as he wanted to, and
no man should accept anything as pre-
scribed fact without satisfying his rea-
son that there is some foundation for It's
existence or truth. He did not have
anything to say against the character
of Christ, but III all his teachings it was
a strange thing that he had made no
mention of education, politics, liberty
and those sublime truths which should
be the very foundation of life itself.

The discussion was prolonged for
more than an hour, and was marked by
several sensational scenes. one of which
was the Kissing of Mr.. Jones when he
said that the widow of Gen. John A.

living i'll social luxury in this city, and
annually spent more than her pension
money for flowers displayed by her at

The county offered Marchand 5000,

even claimed. NJ. \. Nash, one Of the
county commissioners when told of the
verdict, seemed very much surprised.
Another peculiar thing in the case
was that. although assessed at $50 all

G. o. p. OBJECTS
To Allowing Britain a Cable Sta
tiOD in Hawaii

To Allowing Britain a Cable Sta
ton in Hawaii.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE recon-
mendatlon made by President Cleve-
land that the United States give its con-
sent to the construction of a cable to
Hawaii by Great Britain does not find
favor among the Republicans of the
house. Representative hit, of Illinois,
who is recognized as the Republican
leader in the house on foreign affairs,
said today that he fully agreed with the
president that the Hawaiian islands
should have the benefits of telegraphic
communication with the world at large,
but was strongly opposed to putting
their cable facilities under control OF
any government but the United States.
In the Fifty-frst congress Mr.. Hit OF
fered an amendment to the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill prOvid-
ing for the sur vey Of g feasible route
for cable between Hawaii and San
Francisco. and for the preliminary steps
towards the organization of a company.
On the ground Of economy the PROPOSE
ton was defeated by small majority,
the attendance being limited. Mr.. Hit
is still in favor of Subsidy for Ha-
Walian cable.
The United States" he says, "con-
trolls most Of the commerce with the
islands, and should control any cable
company that is to be under government
domination. With a British cable. this
government would be under great dis
/ advantage i'll case of war or grave in.
/ ternatiOnal difficulties. Doubtless
/ Americans would be free to use the
| cable for commercial purposes. but it is
doubtful whether we would be per-
United 10 send messages in cipher, and
no treaty arrangements would be prac-
ticable by which this government would
have the privileges of communication
for naval purposes in time of war, or
other troubles.
I "Great Britain maintains a cable be-
tween Bermuda and Nova Scotia which
does not begin to pay for its mainten-
anee," he said, by way of illustration.
Bermuda is great Strategical point
with powerful fortress. Americans
can order onions by that cable, but Sec
rotary Herbert could not request one of
our ships to put dynamite Oh British
vessel and blow her up in the event
that such proceeding was deemed ad.
visable."
This was. of course. said to illustrate
his point. Had there been cable com
munication with the United States. the
complication in Hawaii of the past two
years would have been greatly SIMPLE
fed and partly averted. Mr.. Hit says.
He declares it to be doubtful form of
economy to expend S25, 100000 annually
for the maintenance of navy aud
neglect comparatively small expendi
lures for the control of vessels. by which
they could be effectively handled and
kept under working orders by the home
government.

NO TARIFF LEGISLATION.
Such Is Practically Mr.. Wilson's
Conclusion

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE ways and
means committee of the house met to-
day for the first time in many months.
1t was expected that the meeting would
bring important developments in view
of the governments need OF increased
revenue. No positive conclusions were
reached, however, beyond the reference
of several questions to subcommittee
and favorable report on the bill eX-
empting from duties exhibits at the Bal
timore exposition in 1897. The action
OF the committee, though, was looked
upon as something significant in indi-
eating that no tariff legislation would
be pushed at this session. Mr.. Wilson
stated informally during the meeting
that the revenues of the government
had shown promising increase since
the WOODEN schedule went into effect on
Jan. | last.

Finds Fault Because People OBJ
.iect to His Coming Around.
Deputy State Boiler Inspector R. o.
Brekke is considerably incensed over
the fuss that certain citizens have made
who refuse to pay for having their
steam generating boilers inspected. The
imputation has been that Mr.. Brekke
has been taking, and had no authority
to examine every little boiler and toy
engine in the city, as was claimed he
did. Now Mr.. Brekke says that in
examining the boilers used in private
dwellings for steam heating he was
doing his duty and nothing more,
and also that he was doing no more
than the law allowed him to do The
law provides, he says. that all boilers
generating steam, no matter for what
purpose used nor what steam pressure
limited to, come under the law. In this
he claims to be upheld by Attorney
Daily, council for the state board. Now
all that is left for those who do not like
this meddling into their affairs, as they
erm it, is to wage warfare OH the state
aw on the ground of unconstitutional
ity. And there seems to be little basis
for such an action.

Theodore Hetke was granted divorce
yesterday from his wife Caroline Hetke,
before Judge Belden. Hetke's spouse
was in the habit of running things her
own way in the family household, and
when the submissive husband didn't

but was in the habit of grabbing the
first thing that she could lay her hands
Oh and using in way that Hetke did
not very soon forget.
On one occasion Carolina took after
him with a butcher knife, and another
occasion cup served the purpose, and
was crashed to Smlthereens on the
stove, which it struck instead of the
recreant husbands head. for which it
was aimed. To satisfy the court that
Carolina was able to do all this with
impuntiy. one of the witnesses, who

A group of travelling statesmen were

corridors of the West hotel few even
ings ago discussing trade and the finan-
cial question. After exchanging ideas
and opinions for an hour or so the con-

escape he had ever had from being
blown to pieces, in less time than it
takes to tell it, occurred few years ago

shown through the large plant by an
attendant. He carried in his hand a
lighted cigar, which the attendant had
failed to notice. They passed along
through the immense building, when
they suddenly came to large powder
bin, which must have had in it at least
fifty bushels. Somehow or other lie
accidentally dropped some of the ashes
from his cigar into the bin, and ten
bushels were burned before they could
put 1t out.
