The probabilities of the passage of the
Dingley tariff bill was the main subject
of discussion at the. recent Republican
Senatorial caucus, and from the express
sions of opinion there it is apparent that
there is little hope of ,enacting the meas
urc into n law during the present session
of Congress. The absence of Senators
Dubois, Cannon, Teller, Mantle, Petit
grew and Squire, who bolted the st.
Louis convention, show that they do not
any longer consider themselves rs men,
bers of the. Republican party; butas their
views on protection have not changed,
they may assist in the passage of a tariff
bill where the question of free coinage is
not involved.

Mr.. Hatch, the Hawaiian minister to
the United States, contradicts the report
that IL treaty for the annexation of the

of the summary disposal of the matter by
Mr.. Cleveland at the beginning of his

see how the question would he again

To the Editor of The Times.-We note
in your report of the Council meeting
held last night II resolution offered by
Mr.. Buckner requesting ''that the public
property committee confer with the city
engineer and see if coal cannot be pur-
chased direct from the mines in car
load" 1t also recites that the coal
dealers of the city refused to bid on fur
nishinP the city with coal
Now, this looks like IL combination, as
we understand. at least, on the part of the
coal dealers and for this reason we wish
To explain why we did not submit II bid
to furnish the city with coal. The city
asked for bids on Pocahontas, excluding
all other Goals. and as we do not belong
to the coal dealers association and cannot
buy Pocahontas coal from the Pocahontas
Coal Company or their agents, Messrs
Cashier Il Curran, and we find it almost
impossible ut all times to get Pocahontas
coal, and we did not wish to become Il
parry to contract in which there were
any doubt about our being able to fulfill
our part to the satisfaction of all parties
interested. This is the sole reason we
did not bid to furnish coal TO the city.
and not that we had any understanding
with any of the coal dealers in the city,

that there will be IL srent deal of. talk in

as talk is cheap and the easiest way just

THE UNITED STATES OF TO-DAY

y young man called Mt our office IL few
DAYS ago and showed us ii work which is
being introduced in this country, with II
request that we examine it. We consider
this book, entitled the "Handbook of the
United Statcs,'' the best book of the kind
ever issued from the press. 1t is not IL
history, but il description of cur country
as it is to-day, the result of four centu-
ries Of progress. History deals with the
past, while this deals with the present.
We have never before seen anything like
it, or its equal in quality of paper or
character OF illustrations. Every family
needs just such work, and every young
man and young woman ought to possess
a copy. We have ordered a copy for our
selves, and we would be glad to know
that every person in the country who is
trying to improve himself, or the minds
of his family, had done the same

ILLEGAL SEALING.

The owners of the American Schooner
james G.. Swan have lost their case before
the United States district court, at Seat
tie, State of Washington, and will be COM
PEELED to forfeit the vessel for violating
the sealing laws. The case is already II
noted one, as it is the first time an Amer
lean schooner has been forfeited for lille
gal sealing by an American court In his
information the United, States, attorney
alleged that the cause of the forfeiture
was that the Swan was, August ), 1896
found employed in killing and capturin.,
fur seals in Bcring sea within the limits
of IL zone OF sixty geographical miles sur.
rounding the Pribl loft Islands, in viola
ton of the first section of the act of 1881
The owners of the vessel appeared in the
case MS claimants, and with an answer
denying that the schooner was at any
time violating the law. In this they ere
sustained by the members of the crew,
who appeared as witnesses, and claimed
they did not intend to violate the law
Inasmuch as the law does not specifically
declare IL forfeiture of wages, these men
claimed they We're entitled to receive their
wages out of the proceeds of the sale of
the vessel but in this Judge Hanford dis.

The case has been stubbornly fought by
