BEHRlNG SEA CASE.
Great Britain Refuses to Re-Enact the
Regulations of Last Year.

Great Britain Refuses to Re- Enact the
Regulations of Last Year.
Washington, May 16.-An ngly crisis
has been reached in the negotiations
between the United States and Great
Britain looking to the adoption of uni
form regulations for the government of
the seal fishery this season. The Brit
ish government positively refuses to re-
enact the regulation of last year, which
prohibits the carrying of firearms by
sealing vessels through the zone north
of the thirty-fifth parallel during the
closed season The United States off
clals look upon this as disastrous to the
seal fisheries and the United States cut
ters have gone out under the old in
structiOns to seize all vessels CARRYING
arms not under seal. These must be
modified speedily by orders sent
through the Alaska Commercial com
pany's steamer which leaves San Fran
cisco In day or two. or else there may
be another big claim for damages on
account of illegal seizures filed by the
British government. It is held by the
state department that the effect of the
British action is to practically nullify
all measures of protection for the seals
that were conferred by the Paris arbi-
tration, and it would ont be surprising
II this course is persisted in if it re-
suited in declaration by the United
States Of the abrogation of the treaty.

Indianapolis. Ind, May 16.-The SUI

under which telegraph companies are
assessed is constitutional. The decis-
ion is in the case of the Western Union
Telegraph Company against the audi

auditors and treasurers in the state.
It is great blow to the telegraph COM

not passed in accordance with provis-

in violation Of the constitution OF the

SILVE ER MEN ANGRY.
A THREATENED BIG SPLIT IN
THEIR RANKS. ''
Presidential Boom Started for Con.
slbley Finds No Echo in California
Leaders There Enter Formal
srotast.

San Francisco, May 16.-It is greatly
feared by the leaders of the silver party
mere that instead Of the great results
Tor free coinage aimed at, the visit to
CalnOrnla of Gen. A. j. Warner, of
Oh1o, head of the American bimetallic
party, and Congressman Joseph G.. Sib-
ley, OF Pennsylyania, named by that
organization for President in 1885, has
apparently been productive of opposite
erect. The effect is the flat secession
or the state silver league from Gen.
warmers national organization. The
trouble was caused by the attempt of
Gen. Warner and several congressman
enthusiastic for the reconciliation of
silver to make Sibley the presidential
candidate of the White-metal party in
the next campaign. The expressions Of
antagonism toward Gen. Warmers
booming of Mr.. Sibley were so many
and loud that meeting of the execu-
i've committee was called at Los An
seies last Saturday afternoon. The en-
tire matter was submitted to a sub
committee of five, whose report char
acterlzes the members Of the Sibley eau
Gus as persons claiming the right to
dlctate the party nomination for Presi-
dent OF the United States and seek
ing division Of the bimetallic party by
wrongful use of party machinery to
force Endorsement Of the said candi-
date, regardless of the wishes of others
IN the party as to what the issues
should be when appealing from the
money power to the intelligence of the
American people,
The report plainly insinuates that the
WdTner-S1h1pv ar oil
Yer is dishonest, and says Mr.. Sibley's
adherents are "evading vital issue"
The committee recommended the adop-
ton of some plainly -worded resolutions
condemning Gen. Warner and Mr.. Sib-
ley, appealing to sister states to or
ganize like the California league and
to protest against the caucus method,
and ealing for national convention of
state leagues to meet at st. Louis
March 16, 1896, to nominate candidates
for President and Vice-President
The report charges Gen. Warner as
chairman Of the "self-styled national
executive committee" with "esta blish-
ing rival organizations in this and other
states ITO force the favorite of the con-
demned caucus upon the American peo-
ple." 1t is alleged that the California
organization proposes to move hence
forth independently of Gen. Warner and
the national party, and it will do it's ut
most to bring about a national conven-
ton of its own in st. Louis next March,
which it hopes will adopt platform
and nominate candidates upon the lines
it lays down.
The State Silver League also finds
fault with Gen. Warner for limiting his
efforts to an attempt to secure the un-
limited coinage Of silver at ratio Of
16 to l. The league contains large
number of Populists, and they do not
think any financial platform would be
complete unless it included provision
for an issue Of greenbacks and an ex-
plicit declaration against the national
banking system and the issuance Of any
more government bonds.
