OLNEY EXPLAINS.
de Makes Comparisons Between
His Bill and the Wright Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Mr. Olney
accompanied the bill sent to Mr.. Nc
Gam at the latter's request with a
statement of his views on the several
provisions of the original bill and his
reasons for such new matter as had not
been incorporated in it. The attorney
generals statement starts out by dis
claiming for every one save himself
any responsibility for the views con-
tanned in his letter. His first objection
S to what is called the Pullman clause,
which IS too obviously aimed at Mr..
Pullman to be otherwise construed, but
hitting as we'll, every other manufac-
turer of cars. The vital objection to
the clause is that manufacturer of
cars is not engaged in interstate COM
merce and does not become so engaged
whether he sells or lets cars to q carrier
whois, and any attempt to bring him
within the act must prove abOrtlye and
tend to discredit the act generally. On
the other hand. Mr.. Olney is of the
opinion that every person engaged in
operating a car used in interstate COM
MERGE ought to come within the act. It
is the attorney generals judgment that
the permanent standing commission
provided for by the bill for all cases is
not only not needed, but would be Of
less value than
A Special Commission
provided for each case as it may arise,
as it is not believed that controversies
are likely to occur SO often or to be so
serious as to require the establishment
of the cumbersome and costly ma
cninery provided for by the bill. Once
such commission is established. it will
never be got rid of. The objection that

border was considered in this matter.
Under the existing treaty with Great
Britain the naval force of each nation
in the Great Lakes is limited to one
ship, but it was recognized that con-
tingencies might arise, although highly
improbable. wherein it would be neces-
sarv to provide an armament for de-
Tense in short time. and the feasibility
of arming turtle-backs with rapid firing
guns commended itself. Nothing is
contained in the bill bearing on the
Carnegie armor bill troubles, and the
continuation of the armor plate con-
tracts Is provided for, it being left to
the secretary of the navy TO designate
the firms for carrying them out. The
total appropriation carried by this Dlil
will be much larger than that made last

of the resumption act OF Jan. IA. 1879,
and also enable him to pay current de-
fciencies of the revenues. 1t author

Rates Imposed Are Shown TO Be
Practically PrOhibitory.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.-On the 18th
of December last the senate adopted a
resolution introduced by Senator WASH
burn (Minn.) requesting information in
tended to show the effect of the abroga-
ton of the reciprocity treaty upon the
trade Of this country with Cuba. The
resolution was forwarded to the consul
general of the United States at Havana,
and the secretary has forwarded his re-
ply to the senate. From this statement
it appears that under the reciprocity
treaty the duty imposed upon American
wheat was 80 cents per 100 kiIos, as
compared with s. 95 at present; Oh
flour, 81 then and 81 now; on corn the
Increase is from 20 cents to So. 90, and on
meal from % cents to S4.05. The impor-
tation of American flour decreased after
the treaty was repealed from 105, 04S
bags for the months of September,
October. November and December, 1898,
to 1895 bags for the corresponding
months IN 1894. The rates imposed on
American products are the highest i'm
posed, the consul general writes, on
products from any country. Since the
letter was written, however, Spain has
practically agreed TO lower rates on
American products.

Appropriations Included in the
Naval Bill.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE naval
appropriation bill. which will be re-
ported to the full committee Of the
house tomorrow, will contain provisions
for adding to the navy the three battles
ships and the torpedo boats which Sec
rotary Herbert recommended. The cost
of the battleships is limited toS4, 000, 900,
and one of them is to be built on the
Pacific coast. Three of the torpedo
boats. it is stipulated, shall be con-
structed in navy yards. A majority of
the subcommittee is in favor of having
the work done by contract instead of in
the navy yards on the grounds of econ
omy and saving of time.
The committee has profted by the
lessons of the Japanese-China war, and
considering that the superior effective
ness of rapid fire guns was clearly
demonstrated by the Yalu river fight,
has made provision for large number

Protection for Seals

WASHINGTON. Jan. 17-In view of
the fact that seals have been practi-
cally exterminated. it is believed that
steps are about to be taken by the
treasury department to secure Great
Britain's consent to a modification OF
the Paris awards, having for its object
the total suspension for a specified
number of years of pelagIc sealing
within the Boring sea. No measure
less heroic than this, it is said, can pre-
vent the ultimate extinction of seal life
in these Northern waters.
