SCARCITY OF SEALS.

Slaughter.

Said to Be Due to Their Indiscri,,,tnate
Slaughter.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 14-Cap-
tain Hooper, in command of the cutter
fleet in Boring Sea, has reported to the
Treasury Department that his observa-
tons south of Unalaska convince him
that the seal herds moving north are far
less numerous than formerly. This scarcity,
it is believed, is entirely due to the indis-
criminate slaughter in the past two or
three years.
While patrolling the North Pacific Cap
tain Hooper boarded and searched num-
Der of sealers, both Canadian and Ameri-
can, but there was no evidence OF unlawful
killing, hence they were allowed to pro-
coed. 1t is very probable that the maxi
mum catch of the North American Com
mercial Company will be materially
reduced, even from last year, when it
reached only about IL, 900 skins.

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, June AN. AL
phonse Allard, delegate from Belgium to
the International Monetary Conference of
1892, in an address to a conservative asso-
citation asserted that the protective policy
of Belgium is the result of the currency
difficulty, which he declared has divided
the world into hostile camps and devel-
oped changes absolutely opposed to the
interests of gold countries and in favor of
silver-currency nations.
Allard says the fall in the prices of conf
modities is not due to overproduction, but
to the scarcity of money, caused by the
demonstration of silver in 1873. Though
the movement in favor of prohibitive
duties on commodities is the natural out
come of the protection of gold, such duties
afford a remedy that is purely temporary
The only real remedy, continued Allard.
for the industrial and commercial depres-
sion is to rehabilitate silver. That the
world was recognizing this was shown in
the widespread bimetallic movement.

SQUIRE As A STRA DDLER,
Has No Idea HoaC the Money Question
VIII Be Settled.

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 14.-Senator
Squire of Washington, in an interview on
the political situation, says: Harrison,
Mckinley, Reed and Allison are all able
men.
''What next year will bring forth in the
way of settlement of the money question
no one con forecast. The Fifty-fourth Con-
gress has yet to sit. Reed is an able parlia-
mentarian and most brilliant man. AS a
tactician he is the peer of any man living.
1t is possible some concessions may be
made. Cleveland may not take the stand
of an extremist.

men that the old parties would be aban-
doned and that silver would be made the
one issue of the new organization.
misrepresentation Bryan of Nebraska,
during the latter days of Congress, was
careful to make it known that he believed
In carrying on the silver fight within the
Democratic party, and that he thought
the National convention could be captured
by the silverites. But Bryan's acts at the
Memphis convention have shown he has
grown FESTIVE under the powerful influence
welded by the administration, and thinks
1t is about time party harness should be
cast off.
Senator Harris and other prominent
Democrats at the convention saw the
danger into which the party was drifting,
and were as forcible in pronounclng
against any dissolution of party organiza-
ton as they were in favor OF the free
coinage of silver. Word was passed around
among the speakers at the convention, so
that in the addresses all those opposed to
this line of action took occasion to con-
denim it, and it was not possible to make
any Roadway on the part of the new party
men.
This action is regarded as the keynote
for the silver men in both the Democratic
and Republican parties. Members of both
the Republican and Democratic parties of
silver tendencies now expect to stand
firmly within their party lines until they
get to their conventions, but they will have
it clearly understood that they must get
important concessions at these National
gatherings or they will look outside the
IL.
vote for in 1896.
This course of action is looked upon
with great favor by the Populists. The
Populists think that if the silver men wait
until after the National conventions, in
order to determine whether they will bolt
or whether they will support the party
nominee there will be no time to effect a
satisfactory organization for the nominal
ton of man to lead the silverites in the
National fight. The Populists are inclined
to believe that by the time the conventions
are held their party will have received i'm
portant accessions from both Democrats
and Republicans, and that their organiza-
ton will have so increased in strength and
Importance that the silverites will not
think it necessary to look elsewhere for a
party to carry out their ideas.
That so many Democrats at the Mem
phis silver convention were loud in talking
down the movement to form a new party
is regarded by many silver men as an evil
dence that these members of the party be-
heve they can carry the National conven-
ton and adopt silver platform and NOM
mate man for the Presidency who will
favor either the free coinage of silver, or
who will pledge himself not to veto any
free silver legislation by Congress.

GUTHRIE. 0. T., June 1.-THE Sac

new method to get rain. They appointed
one day last week for their tribes to meet
at one place to dance for rain and at the
same time they invited several neighbor-
ing tribes to join the festival for the much
needed showers. Large numbers of
Indians met and danced until Sundays
food came, and this so buoyed them up
that they are still dancing that more rain
may come. Before they commenced their
festivities they moved their wigwams from
the bottoms to the highlands, saying the
rains would flood the lowlands.
