The Rosie Olsen Arrived in Gus
tOdy Of Uncle Sam.
TOO NEAR THE eo-MILg LIMIT
She Reports Very Poor Catches Of
Seal on Both the East and West
Sides of the Pacific.

The little 70-ton sealing schooner Rosie
Olsen sailed into port yesterday from
Behring Sea, distance Of 1900 miles,
after remarkably fast passage of IL
days. She is under seizure by the United
States government and is in the immedi-
ate custody Of Lieutenant r. M. Dun
woody, navigating lieutenant Of the U.
s. revenue cutter Rush. Frank Lewis, an
old Astorian, tells the story of the o.
sens trip and seizure as follows:
we left Victoria for Japanese waters
on the I'D of January and after light
weather and an uneventful trip reached
the neighborhood Of Hakodate where we
fished for some months. Our luck was
very poor and the whole season only
netted us 600 skins, which we set ashore
Hakodate, Six Of our boat pullers left
us at this port, and went away in va
-ious vessels. None of the schooners we
fell in with on the Japan side had much
luck, and we fared better than most OF
them. The Olsen then made for Behring
Sea. which we reached and fished in for
over month. We had $40 skins aboard
when one day as we were laying to
sovtlh of the island Of st. George, with
no boats out, the revenue cutter Rush
ran up to us in the fog and sent a boat
crew alongside. The commander inform
ed Captain Cole that the vessel was
within the prescribed 60 mile limit OF
St. George Island, nearly miles and that
ne would have to seize her and convey
her to her home port. We protested
that we believed ourselves to be 30 miles
outside of the limit, but the head officer
Of the Rush put every man on board
under arrest and placed Lieut.. Dun
woody in charge with instructions to

One More Hard Hit at the Fall
Packing Business.
COMPETENT CRITIC
How the ShOrt-Sighted Policy of the
Gamers is Fast Running Mag
nificent Business.

The San Francisco Herald Of Trade
says editorlally in its last issue:
"The fan run of fish in the Columbia
river is inferior in every respect to the
salmon taken in the spring, and Is In
very many instances absolutely unfit to
eat This fact, however, does not prevent
considerable number of Gamers from
putting up quantities of inferior fish,
labe.ing them so that the general public
viii not know the unwholesome pack
from the splendid salmon taken in the
spring and send them abroad to do great
damage to the honest product Of the
Columbia. The Astorian is literally
roasting the unprincipled and foolish
practice. After speaking of the pains 1t
has taken to disseminate information as
to the superior quality of spring salmon,
and the necessity Of keeping up the high
standard, the Astoran says;
ut is therefore absolutely incompre-
henslbe to us how any body OF sane per-
sons, seemingly good and shrewd business
men can deliberately inaugurate a policy,

the effect OF which will be not only the
notification OF any results our teachings
have had, but the creation of a feeling
of absolute dlstrust for anything bearing
the Label Columbia River Salmon" Half
of them are today engaged in packing
for the fall" trade a base imitation
of the Royal Chinook, which as the weeks
go on Will become worse in color and
quality. Some of the packers, very
few, win place in tine cans containing
the trash the words fall pack OF the
Columbia;" others will label them "Co-
lumbla River Salmon" with no distinct
i've season Of packing, and still others,
we are sorry to say, with even a more
blind and short sighted policy, will send
them out over the country as the spring
pack of the Columbia, and in all prob
ability with the words ''Royal Chinook"
up in the corner.
with the canned horse from the upper
end of the Columbia river, and the taste
lexs, sickly, humpbacked Salmon" flood
ing the markets OF the country from this
end, the reputation of Oregon as a state
OF questionable canning methods Is fast
becoming established. Our Eastern
friends can rest assured that we intend
to supply them, minus all disguise, with
the facts about this fall fishing, and we
feel no compunction in warning, even in
threatening the focal cannerymen, that
we do not intend 10 allow them to pack
for export, under Columbia river or
any other labels. fish unfit for human
food, without taking care to expose their
methods and to state without reserva.

most Completed,

Special to the Astorian.
San Francisco, Sept. 23,--The tenth
week of the trial of Theodore Durrani
commenced today The prosecution now
HAS its case substantially before the
jury. It's main witnesses have been
heard and all that the district attorney

the evidence already given with corrob,
orative testimony.
Today w. j. Phillips a cigar manu-
facturer testified that he had seen Dur
rant coming out of Oppenhelm's store in
the early part of last April. He had nc
doubt of the identity of Durrant A SEN
sational scene followed when the dis
trict attorney requested the witness ia
step down and indicate the man he saw
coming out Of the pawnshop Phillips
rose, walked from the stand to within
three feet of the prisoner, and with point
ed finger and steady gaze said In. posi-
tive tones: THAT is the young man."
Durrant did not finch under the ordeal,
Leigh H. Irvine, newspaper man, said
he had interviewed Durrant on the even
ing of April IA, in the city prison, as
to his whereabouts on April 3. Durrant
said he left home about that morning
and met Blanche Lamont at 21st and
Mission streets. She invited him to ac-
company her to college. He went to
the church at 4:90 and took off his coat
and hat and went upstairs to fix the
gas. He stated that he met King in
the church and left 1t with King. He

morrow with a large representation OF
Irishmen from all parts of the country
Today delegates arrived on nearly every

for the Ancient Order OF Hibernlans
and secretary of the local reception com.
mittee, estimates THAT there will be fully
1900 delegates in attendance when the
convention opens.
The convention win last three days
One general object Is the formation OF
a united organization for the 6uruherance
of the Irish cause. Those who issued the
call for the convention claim that It is
not contemplated THAT physical forces
SHALL be advised in the attainment of the
independence Of the Irish people as a
nation, unless such means be deemed
absolutely necessary, and the objects in
view be probable of attainment.
1t is believed that the convention will
serve to revive interest and infuse new
iffe into the Irish cause both in Amer
lea and Great Britain.
Considerable comment Is being aroused
by the fact that among fifty delegates
from New York City who have arrived
are jeremiah O'Donavan Rossa and p.

cussed. After the hearing the court
by vote of to 4, Strong and Bradley
agreeing with Miller, Davis and
Swayne: decided the legal tender act
to be constitutional, thus overruling
the former decision of Hepburn VS..
Griswold.' Although decided by so
narrow a majority, and under the
strong suspicion that the court was
packed for the purpose, the country
has acquiesced in this decision, and
the question has never since been
raised.
OTHER CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTIONS.
Chief Justice Waite succeeded
Chase in 1874 and continued on the
bench until 1888, when he was sue
ceeded by Chief Jus tice Fuller. Under
each of these very able jurists other
important constitutional questions
have been decided from time to time
involving wide and diversified inter-
ests. Among these were the civil
rights law, the thirteenth. fOurtee enth
and fifteenth amendments to the con-
stitutiOn, the enforcement act, Nor
mon polygamy, the Chicago anarchits.
the various state liquor laws, the in
terst tate commerce law and now the
Income-tax law. Many of these have
been decided by a divided court, but
as rule they have remained unques-
toned, for the old maxim is still true
that it is better that the law should
be settled than that it should always
be right
