SCARCITY OF SEALS.
Report Of the Commander OF the Gutter
Fleet in IBering Sea.

Report Of the Commander OF the Cutter
Fleet III Bering Sea.
WASHINGTON, June 10 Captain Hoop
err, in command of the cutter fleet in
Boring sea- has reported to the treasury
department that observations south of
Unalaska convince him that the seal
herds moving north are far less numer-
Gus than formerly. This scarcity, 1t is
believed, is entirely due to the indiscrim-
mate slaughter of the last two or three
years. While patrolling the waters Of
the north Pacific Captain Hooper has
boarded and searched number of seal
ers, both Canadian and American, but
there was no evidence of unlawful killing
and hence they were allowed TO proceed.
In case Captain Hooper's observations
In the open sea hold good at the islands
it is very probable that the maximum
catch of the North American Commercial
company will be materially reduced even
from last year, when it reached only
about Is, 600 skins

Preacher as Marshal In Tough Town.

Grecnway, small town six miles north
of Rector, Ark, is in a state Of intense ex-
element over the whisky question. The
town marshal did not arrest and bring the
"blind tigers" into court, as the antiwhis-
ky people thought he should, so the coun-
Gil elected new marshal in the person OF
the Rev. Mr.. Stevens, "a Methodist minis
ter and an ex-cowboy. Yesterday morning
he tackled the first drunken man he met,
Bill Adams, and arrested him, when Ad-
ans drew a revolver and emptied five shots
at the preacher, wounding him in the
arm, neck and side. Others joined Adams,
but Preacher Stevens was plucky and emp
tied his pistol and shotgun, hurting no
one seriously but capturing three men and
routing and driving out the drunken ele-
ment. Adams escaped TO the woods-Chi-

Mrs. stanton, the Great sunragist' To no
the Heroine Of the Occasion.

Preparations are being made In New
York for the celebration i'm November next
Of the eightieth birthday of the veteran
champion of woman suffrage, Mrs. Eliza
beth Cady stanton The place chosen for
IL is Carnegie Music hall, and the date OF
IL is the 18th of the month. Notable men
and women from all parts OF the country
will take part In il, and the central figure
on the platform will be the heroine OF the
occasion. There will be eloquence and
music and flowers and flags and trophies
of her life. 1t will be the browning incl
dent in the honored woman's career she
herself is aware of the prepa~, ions for the
day, which she looks ford To with
pleasure, wholly free from vanity.
1t Is over half "a century since Mrs
Stanton first gave her mind 10 the cause
then known as 'woman's rights, which
afterward developed into the movement
that has given full suffrage to her sex :,
two states and partial suffrage In large
number of states. 1t was In lS4S that the
first formal claim for suffrage was made
at a meeting held in her house at Seneca
Falls, N Y, and since that time until re-
Gently she has been perpetually active in
the promotion of the cause as a speaker,
canvasser, writer and organizer.
Mrs. Stanton is now "a permanent resi-
dent of New York city. She retains the
appearance which became familiar to the
public long ago. Her spirits are always
remarkably lively, and her mind is in the
best working order. though she is a suffer
er from rheumatism and unable to move
about without assistance. She has
charming little home in an apartment
house, where she enjoys the companionship
Of her sons and daughter. She is especially
yratifed with the reception that has been
given to those parts of her "Woman's BIZ
ble' which have been published, though 1t
has not met with the approval of theolo-
gians, Biblical critics or Hebrew scholars
AS the pioneer of the new idea of.woman's
rights Mrs. Stanton was ahead of her life
long friend, Miss Susan b. Anthony
though she cannot, in these days, join
Miss Anthony in her campaigns.-New

the supreme Court.
SPRINGFIELD IIs., June l4-Attorney
General Moloney in discussing the deci-
sion of the supreme court In the whisky
trust case said: at is plain also from
the language used by the supreme court
in this case that the Pullman Palace Car
company will meet with the same tate at
the hands of this court that the whisky
trust met with The supreme court has
expressly decided that corporations or
ganized under the laws of this state have
only such Express powers as are granted
to them, and that their powers must be
strictly construed, and all that is not
gwen TO them III express language Is de-
MED"
The words of the supreme court are:
at should be remembered that grants of
powers in corporate charters are to be
construed strictly, and that what is not
clearly given is by implication denied.
The defendant is authorized to own such
property as is necessary for carrying on
its distillery business and no more. Its
power TO acquire and hold property is
limited TO that purpose"
This language, it is claimed, clearly
sounds the death.knell of the Pullman
corporation when it reaches the supreme
court. 1t Is what the attorney general
has always claimed the law TO be, and
Judge Gibbons in the whisky trust case
agreed with him, but the circuit Judge in
the Pullman case differed from both as

said that racing would come to an end

change their views when they saw the
ring. There were fifty bookmakers and
each was kept busy calling names to his

OFFER FOR WHISKY TRUST PLANT

1t Tor Nearly SIO,OOO.OOO.


CHICAGO, June 15-The reorganization
committee offers TO purchase the plant of
the whisky trust for 81, 100000, provided
the court orders the receiver To allow as
consideration such a proportion of the
sum total as would be divided among
347, o67 shares of stock held by the reor-
ganization committee. This offer is made
in petition for the Judicial sale of the
trusts effects, which was filed in the
United States circuit court clerks office
last evening.
The petitioners set forth as reasons for
an Immediate sale the fact that the bust
ness under the receivership does not tend
To any permanence and the retention of
the regular trade in the face of sharp
competition is impossible, and that
further control by the receiver tends to
the ultimate injury of the stockholders.
The petition will be called up next week
and be attacked by all the opposing in
