ALL CLAIMS MUST Be Met.
SECRETARY GRESHAM AND THE
BERING SEA SEAL
AWARDS.
IF CONGRESS FAILS TO ACT TREATY
WILL Be SENT TO THE
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Feb 22.-Secretary Ores

Their effort to induce Congress to pass the
bill appropriating $425. 900 to pay damages
sustained by British sealing vessels seized
by our naval ships and revenue cutters in
Boring Sea before the making of the modus
vivendi. If the bill fails now then he will
proceed Immediately to draw up treaty
for submission to the Senate, creating an
arbitration committee to adjust the claims.
The United States will have no other
course open than this, for we would be dis
honored among nations five failed to carry
out the obligations imposed upon US by
our voluntary act in submitting the sealing
question to the Paris arbitration.
The Paris arbitration tribunal ruled out
all claims for consequential damages, and
allowed claims only when the vessels had
actually been seized. and where the crews
had been imprisoned. Even on this basis
the claims amount to nearly million dol
lars. Besides there were about two score
men, officers and crews of the seized YES
sells who suffered imprisonment, and their
claims were compromised for about SIS, 600
by the agreement made by Gresham.
The Secretary believes if all these claims

STRANGE TACTICS
OF THE PRESIDENT.
TRYING TO PREVENT LEGISLA-
TON BY PECULIAR
THREATS.
SORE ON HAWAIIAN MATTERS
IF AN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
Is HELD IT WILL CAUSE
INVESTIGATION.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-President Cleve-
land is said to believe that the Republicans
are greatly alarmed at the prospect of an
extra session of Congress. He is therefore
trying to play this to prevent legislation
on appropriation bills which do not meet
with his approval. In addition to the
threat made through some of his friends
that he would veto the sundry civil bill if
it contains any legislation which will re-
strict the issuance OF bonds, similar
threat is being used to defeat the Hawaiian
cable amendment in the consular and dip
lomatic bill. The President is more sem
sitive about his Hawaiian policy than any
other matter.
The adoption of the cable amendment by
the Senate, it is said, caused him good
deal of irritation and he is now using all
his influence to prevent the acceptance of
the amendment by the House The Demo-
Gratis have been given to understand that
the President would regard a support of
this amendment as an act of unfriendliness
toward the administration. Those Demo-
Gratis who voted in the House in favor of
concurring in the amendment did so with
knowledge that they were guilty of a
great offense to Mr.. Cleveland. Many are
restrained from natural inclination to
yield to the Senate by certainty that
their doing so would put them in disfavor
at the White House. The opposition of
Mr.. Cleveland to the cable project is fur
ther enforced by very strong intimation
that if the amendment is retained he will
not approve the bill. Whether he will
actually go this far may be doubted, but
the threat is being used with the idea of
compelling the Senate to yield and permit
the amendment to be stricken out in con-
ference
Mr.. Cleveland appears to exaggerate
the terror which the threat of an extra
session has for the Republicans. While
generally they would prefer not to be
called back to Washington between ses-
sions, it does not appear that they would
be willing to make any considerable sacri-
flee to avoid it, and there are few who
would actually like to have an extra ses-
sion called. Mr.. Cleveland has much more
to fear from an extra session than have the
Republicans.
1t would be an inconvenience and an an
noyance to Congress to meet in the spring
or early summer, but their plans are too
well laid for them to fear being drawn
into any perplexing political question.
The session will, if called, be much more
annoying to Mr.. Cleveland. One of the
first steps which would be taken by the
Republican House and Observation-Disclosures
Senate would be to begin an investigation
into the alleged shortcomings and blum
behring's of the administration.
Several very active Republican Senators
are eager for an opportunity to disclose,
through an investigation, step by step, all
the details of the items of the administra-
ton policy, an imperfect knowledge of
which has excited general criticism. Mr..
Cleveland will have to confront this if he
calls an extra session.

SOLVED BY BANKER ST. JOHN.
How He WOULD HAVE SILVER
FIGURE IN REGARD TO
FINANCE.
SPRINGER SAYS THE GOTHAM MAN
SHOULD PRACTICE WHAT
He breaches.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-The following
correspondence, which explains itself, has
passed between William P. st. John, presi-
dent of the Mercantile National Bank of
New York, and Mr.. Springer, chairman
of the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency The first is letter addressed by
Mr.. st. John to Mr.. Springer. in which the
former says:
When before your honorable committee in
December l recommended the redemption of
United States notes in gold, only at that time
under conditions then OF extraordinary weak
ness in the treasury. l added that the United
States was then able to redeem greenbacks and
notes in silver and laugh at such consequences
Under the profound conviction that the present
condition OF the treasury reserve and liberal
accumulations of idle money in New York and
other money centers afford together new op-
portunity 10 do safely, wrote to beg you TO
ask the Secretary of the Treasury to exercise
the option conferred upon him by the law to
redeem the United States notes in silver dol
lars. The treasury reserve is now composed OF
about S105, 900, 600 gold and about S15 0OO,-
900 of free silver.
If the Secretary will instruct the Treasurer
and every Assistant Treasurer of the United
States to meet demands for the redemption of
United States and Treasury notes in Standard
IL
time, the achievement will be in all details and
in every respect happy one, and no more
Understanding debt need to be created. On
the other hand if the Secretary of the Treasury
still neglects this opportunity the neglect may
prove one more just ground for fault-fnding
with this ADMINISTRATION of public finance.
To this letter Mr. Springer replied:
In answer to your letter permit me to say
am under the profound conviction that the
present condition of the treasury reserve and
liberal accumulations of idle money in New
York afford together new opportunity for
you to exercise the discretion conferred on you
by law to pay all checks at the bank of which
you are president in standard silver dollars
If you should pursue this course for reason
able time the achievement would be in all
details and in every respect happy one. On
the other hand, if you should neglect this
opportunity the neglect may prove one more
ground for fault-fnding with those fnanciers
who preach one doctrine and practice another.

Affairs IN EGYPT.
Special Tribunal Created to Try AssGtt-
ants on English sailors.

Special Tribunal Created to Try ASsGt-
ants on English sailors.
CAIRO, Feb pa special Cabinet coun-
ell has Just been held here to discuss the
Egyptian situation, the Khedive presiding.
Inasmuch as the agitation appears to have
been caused by the recent attack by the
Egyptians on the crew of the British
cruiser Scout it was decided to create a
special tribunal, which shall have jurisdic-
ton over the offenses of the natives against
the British soldiers, sailors and marines
stationed in Egypt. The tribunal is to
consist of the Minister of Justice, Ibrahim
Fuad Pasha, native, as presiding Judge;
Sir John Scott, the judicial adviser to the
Khedive, an Englishman, and two Eng
lish Judges and one native Judge.
The trial, Judgment and the carrying out
of the sentence, including the death pen
atty, shall be summary and without ap-
peal. The tribunal can only be invoked
on the demand of Baron Cromer, the
British agent and Consul-General, and the
English general in command of the British
forces in Egypt. After the Egyptian and
foreign Ministers have been notified, the
executive council will be convened at the
beginning of the Ramadan, when the great
annual feast day occurs, to approve the
establishment of this tribunal The promise
of the new court is regarded as an i'm
portant concession by the English here,
and it is likely to intensity the French
agitation against the British influence in
Egypt.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Mills has
given notice OF the following amendment
to the sundry civil appropriation bill:
"And all laws which authorize the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to sell bonds for any
purpose are hereby repealed"
Upon being asked whether it was his in
tention to press his amendment prohibit

"Sueh is my intention. mean to press
it to the utmost limit, when the sundry

"Do you expect to get majority for it?''
"That," he replied, sis yet to be deter
mined, but L propose to see whether there
is majority which believes in the prohi-
bition of bond sales in the future"
els not there danger of forcing an extra
session in case you succeed in having the

TO PAY SUGAR BOUNTIES.
Mr.. BLACKBURN INTRODUCES AN
AMENDMENT TO THE
SUNDRY BILL.
AN ARRANGEMENT THAT WILL
GREATLY PLEASE THE SOUTH
ERN PLANTERS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Black
burn, on behalf of the Committee on APP
preparations, to-day introduced an amend
ment to the sundry civil biz to provide for
the payment of the full bounty on the
sugar produced in 1893 and the payment of
eight-tenths of cent per pound on the
product of 1894. The amendment for the
payment OF the first-class claims carries an
appropriation of $23s, 2S9 and is as follows:
THAT there shall be paid by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to those producers and
manufacturers of sugar in the United
states from maple sap, beets, sorghum or
raw sugarcane grown in the United States
who complied with the provisions of the
bounty laws, as contained in schedules of
the tariff act of 1890, a bounty of cents a
pound on all sugar testing not less than 80
degrees by the polariscope, and ~ cents
per pound on all sugar testing less than 90
and not more than so degrees, manufac-
tured by them previous to the 2Sth of
August, 1894, and upon which no bounty
has previously been paid"
The provision for the payment of part
of last years bounty is that there shall be
paid to those producers who complied
with the Mckinley bounty law by fling
application for license and the bonds re-
CURED prior to July L, 1894, and who would
have been entitled to receive license
. bounty of eight-tenths of cent pound
on sugars actually manufactured and pro-
duced in the United States testing not less
than so degrees during the period of the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1895, comprised
in the period commencing August 2S 1894,
and ending June 80, 1895, and for this pur-
pose 100000 is appropriated.
No bounty is to be paid to any person
engaged in refining sugars which have
been imported into the United States or
produced in the United States upon which
the bounty herein provided for has already
been paid or applied for. The Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue is empowered
to make regulations for the payment of the
bounty and to employ two revenue agents
in addition to those already employed for
the transaction of the business.

SILVER MEN IN CONFERENCE.
They May Place q National Ticket in the
Field

WASHINGTON, Feb. pa number of
representatives of the American Bimetal-
nc League met here to-day for conference
at the league headquarters. Among those
present were General A. ]. Warner, presi-
dent of the league; Representatives New
lands OF Nevada and Sibley of Pennsyl-
vanla. The greatest secrecy was main
tanned as to the conference.
General Warner, however, said that they
had come together to talk over the situa-
ton and nothing more. For the last few
days, however, a rumor has been in
circulation here to the effect that certain
silver men were formulating plan which,
If carried out, would result in placing a
national silver ticket in the field for the
next national campaign. tits not believed,
however, that the plan has as yet taken
any definite shape.
Senators Teller and Wolcott and num-
Der OF others active in the cause of silver
IN Congress were not present at to-day
meeting.
