KEEP PACE WITH PROGRESS
Board Of Trade Will Discuss an
Important Theme.
Increased Freight and Terminal Fae
cilities, Grade Crossings and
Union Passenger Depot.

A special meeting of the Beard of Trade
will be held at Willard Hall Friday evening,
the object being to discuss steam railroads,
the necessity for increased freight and ter
minai facilities, in order TO keep pace
with the growth and progress of the city, and
the matter of grade crossings
Addresses Will be delivered by Mr..
Frank Hume, the chairman of The railroad
committee. and other competent speakers.
The position of the Board of Trade on
these matters, as expressed by the prcsi-
dent, is as follows:
First. The speedy elevation or de-
preston OF steam railroad tracks within
the District OF Columbia TO u safe dis
tance above or below the grades of The
streets and thoroughfares along which
they pass.
Second. The discoutinuance and refusal
of all such privileges as terd To create a nd
permit monopolies i'll steam railway tram
sit and traffic.
Third. The entrance into the District
OF Columbia of all legitimate railway en-
terpriscs under conditions positive OK
common benefits, burdens and obliga-
tiOns.
Fourth. The encouragement by means OF
existing and increasing railway facilities
OF manufactures within the District OF
Columbia
Fifth. The location of a uion passenger
depot.
The discussion will not unlikely take
in the Baltimore aud Ohio passenger sta
tion, OF which President Warner said in
his report on the subject: :
"our railroads should be compelled to
provide proper terminal facilities, both
FOR freight and Passengers. The Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company has station
which is n constant advertisement of a
want of enterprise on the part of the Cur
poration. as il is Il positive disgrace to
the Capital of the nation.
Its facilities are an annoyance to the
travelling public, tho are compeiled to pa
tronize IT. Such condition of things
would not he tolerated in any other city.
where corporations can be speedily reached
by municipal legitlation"
The matter of grade cros sings on the
Baltimore and Ohio and other railroads
will be dis cussed. and it is not improbable
that the ques ton OF proper tagging of.
eros sings in the city where electric lines
and other street railroads intersect will
all o be handled. The necessity for this has
recently been referred to by The Times
with specific cases on which suggestion
to the companies should be made.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad eros sings
are a matter Of much interes to the North.
east citizens and the citizens of South
Was hington viii be much interested in The
dis cussion of the crossings in their section
OF the city.
The coming meeting Will be one of great
local interest and ii is expected that the
board will pass some storing resolutions.
1t is. anticipated that the meeting will b
largely attended.

WARSHIPS ON The LAKES
Questions Whether They Could Be
Built at Detroit.
Great Britain Claims That 1t Would
be "a Violation of the Treaty
of 1914.

Ex.postmaster-C;encral Don N. Dickinson
hok strong interest in the question as TO
whether bids for two OF the new gum
boats could be awarded to Il Detroit firm
without violating our treaty obligations
with Great Britain i'll regard to the MAIN
tenance of war ships on the Great Lakes.
Some portions of a brief he filed with Sec
retary Herbert have been made public.
Discussing the treaty of 8 4 and the agree
ment of 1917 with Great Britain, he says:
1T would seem absurd if either govern
ment has barred itself from using the cX-
ceptional and ready facilities, in ship
yards. enormous resources, and the eco.
nonlics of the shores of the Great Lakes Tor
bmIdIng that class of fships for ocean service,
which may readily pass through to tide
water
But owing 10 the fact that there was
never any formal treaty ON the subject,
that the agreement between the two gov
crumeuts wnIcn has gwen rise 10 the q.es-
zion rested upon an exchange OF dipl"-
matte notes, aud for its proper cunstruc-
tion upon large number of scattered doc
uments, there was no clear comprehension
of the agreement and hut a vague and mis-
taken guess at its purposes, when in the
last year of the Harrison administra-
ton The lowest bid for tue construction
ol sUldll ndNdl vessel Hllle Dy Il snip
yarG on the lakes. was rejected by tue Sec
retary of the Navy, out of abunda nj pre-
caution, because its accc1,ta nee might pos
sibly be in violation OF our treaty rela-
tions' with Great Britain. The British
government has never minated any such
construction, and has itself constructed
naval vessels upon the lakes.
1T appears conclusively from Secre-
tary Fosters report in the Fifty-second
Congress and of the practical construc-
ton OF the high contracting parties for
twent y-four years, and by the ordinary
rule OF common sense that the agreement
could not be held to interfere with the
building of naval vessels On the lakes ex-
cept they Were armed. equipped and main
tatned' as warships on these waters.
1T is true that one clause in the agree
ment OF 1917 reads, that all other armed
dismantled, and that no other vessels
or warships shall be there built or armed
But 1t appears by the context by the CORE
spondence, and ny the whole history of the
matter, as well as by Mr.. Fosters au-
tnorltativc construction, that the words
snail be there built and armed must he
taken with a meaning precisely as il the
words were shall DE there built OF armed
for use upon the lakes'"
Secretary Herbert still has the matter
1nder considcration-the question whether
he can accept the bid OF the Detroit firm
without violating treaty agreements-,pd
'he views or Don Dickinson as Tins OK
pressed are regarded rs significant in this
connection

Siberian Reindeer to Alaska.

San Francisco, Oct 23.-The Alaska
Commercial Company's steamer Bertha
arrived yesterday, bringing down 14s
passengers, nearly all of whom are miners.
Among the number wasRudolph Ne wman,
agent OF the Commercial Company in 1.-The

THE miners on the Yukon River did ia irly
well last year." said he, when talking about
the mining Interests, land all of them will
return next spring. They brought down
with them considerable gold in dust and
nuggets, and will be able to fit themselves
out so as TO remain at Forty.Mile Camp,
over the winter of 1895.
"In round figures, / think they brought
down about $500, 900 among them, but
that Is not a great sum when you come to
divide 1t up among over one hundred men
who shaved for eighteen months.
"When the Bertha was at Unalaska the
revenue cutter Bear was preparing for an
other cruise among the seal fsla nds. She
had made several trips to the coast of
Siberia and brought back reindeer for the
Government stations on the Alaskan side.
THE herds have done remarkably well
and are now permanently established on
American soil. In ansher year they viii
be so Increased that probably no more will
be brought from the Russian side.
"Furs were very scarce this year as il
was bad winter. The ice lasted longer
than ever before, and in consequence there
was very little hunting'-

SLAUGHTER or THE SEALS
Secretary olney Will Endsavor to
Prevent Their determination.
With Him and Great Britain VIII
he Appealed TO for Help.

Secretary OlDey is utilizing all the agcn.
cies at his command to secure the preserva-
ton Of the Alaska fur seals.
He is convinced from the reports Of
Treasury experts that the animals are be-
ing rapidly diminished as the result Of
pelagic scaling, and he assures that If some
steps are not taken to prevent their in
discriminate slaughter they will within i
few years be cxterminated.
Secretary Olncy has within the past
MONTH called the attention of Russia and
Japan to the necessity of some plan
which Will prevent decp-sea fishing during
the open season.
He finds both countries will be willing
to cooperate with the United States m
patroliDg Bering Sea and preventing, so
far as lies in their power, further poacL-
Ing by vessels flying their respective
flags.
Secretary Olney feels, however, that
the combined efforts Of Russia, Japan and
the United States will be useless unless
Great Britain can be induced to lend a
hand, and this Great Britain, from all ac-
counts. is not willing to do.
By the terms of the Paris award the
regulations now in force must continue five

or new agreement made at the pleas-
ure Of the two countries.
II Congress next winter shah appropriate
the S4oO, 900, which is the amount OF the
damages claimed by Great Britain for the
seizure of Canadian seaIers in years past
her nlajesty's government may be in a
frame of mind better suited to the adop-
tion OF rules looking TO the better preser-
walton Of the seals.
Should Congress decline to appropriate
the money. Great Britain, it is believed
will adhere only to the letter of the Paris
award and neglect, as in last season, To act
according Ia the intent OF the provisions
devised to protect seal life.
The preparation of the convention look
ing to the payment OF these damages will
begin at the State Department either Oh
Monday or Wednesday OF next week.
1t is not improbable that Sir Charles
Tupper, the Canadian minister of justice,
who IL thoroughly familiar with the long
contention between the United states and
Great Britain regarding the fisheries ques-
tion, will be present to be consulted regard
ing certain matter OF detail. and he will
doubtless be accompanied by Mr. Costgan.
the Canadian minister of marine.

1t will be remembered that this organ
ization, beginning its second year III the
District, is a branch of a national fra
ternity formed by the American So,.icty

therefore have the support of the eXecu-
tive committee and other officers of that
society. An effort will be made to bring
it into touch with the movements in this
behalf In other parts OF the country. A

considered in outline. and Prof. SITES, of
the Eastern High School. will conduct
question exercises upon these topics at
the later sessions of the club.

rolled as members, and because their resi-
dences were in different parts OF the city
an attempt was made to bo,d sessions
in various churches to meet their conve-
nience. But this year all the sessions will
be held in the ball of the university, and
IN the afternoon, thereby accommodating
those ladies who are unable to attend at
night for lack of suitable escort.
The committee has determined to throw
the doors open to all who wish 10 come,
and extends a cordial invitation not only
to the teachers in general, but 10 the adult
pupils of the Sunday-scbool, and to any
Others who desire To obtain n fuller knowl-
edge of the Scriptures.

MORMON PRIESTS DENOUNCED
Utah Democratic Convention Calls for
S.pa ration of Church and State.


Salt Lake, Utah, Oct. 22.-The Demo-
cratic convention met this morning in
pursuance of special call issued by the
State committee for the purpose Of decid-
ing on some plan of action in The matter
of the interference of the Mormon Church
in the political affairs of the Territory.
The immediate cause of this eXtraor-
binary meeting was the action OF Presi-
dent Joseph Smith and George Q. Cam
non, of the Mormon Church. who at a meet
ing of the priesthood recently censured
two members of the church, B ishop
Roberts and Moses Thatcher, for ac-
cepting nominations for Congress and
the United States Senate on the Democratic
ticket without asking permission of the
church authorities.
The convention was composed of a
majority of Mormons, but they. as well
as the Gentle members, Were loud aud
almost savage in their denunciations OF
the action of Cannon and Smith in the
priesthood meeting.
