Bil for determination of Seal Herd
Opposed by Mr.. Morgan.

The Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tiens yesterday renewed the discussion

nation of the fur seal herd of the Pribyloff
Islands unless Great Britain shall agree to
modification of the regulations of the
Paris award to su ch an extent as will thor
oughly protect tie seals from pelagic seal
ing.
MIR. Morgan, who was absent from the
last meeting, addressed the committee for
more than an hour against the proposed
bill. Every other member OF the commit
tee is in favor of the measure, and it will
be reported TO the Senate as soon as SEN
ator Morgan has concluded his argument.
The House Committee on Ways and
Means today ordered favorable report
on the bill OF Mr. Dingiey of Maine, amend
ing the act to prevent the determination
of fur-bcaring animals in Alaska.

ACTORS BEFORE CONGRESS.
Hearing Given on the Bill to Prevent
Dramatic PtratinE

A number of well-known dramatsts
theatrical managers and newspaper writers
were present at yesterdays ses-
sion of tie House Committee on Patents,
at which arguments were made in support
OF the bill TO prevent pirating OF dramatic
compositions.
The bill is the familiar orc OF the last
Congress. its purpose being TO make an
Injunction against persons pirating such
compositions applicable in the United
States judicial circuit. 1t imposes a fine
for each piratcd performance and carries
penalty of Imprisonment not exceeding
one year.
Among those in attendance were Bronson
Howard, representing the aHtliors, and A.
NJ. Palmer, representing the Managers As
sociation of New York, There were in
addition Harrison Gray Fiske, Daniel
Frohman, Nelson Wheatcroft, T. Henry
French, j. I. Clarke, Franklin Fyles and
Charles Klein, also OF New York.
Judge Dittcnhoffer OF New York, made
the principal argument, showing that the
piracies complained of are constantly in-
creasing and the inadequacy OF the present
law to cover such offenses. He showed
also that the penal clause of the bin gave
the circuit judges the option OF limiting the
Imprisonment 10 any period within their
Judgment.

FALK WANTS TO BE TRIED.

mission SwindIing
An old case of alleged fraud by the scheme
Of playing commission merchant and fail
ing to account 10 consignors reappcared
here yesterday. The charge is made
against NJ Nelson FaIk, and on the face
of the books Mr.. Falk is clamoring for
trial. Assistant District Attorney Tag
CART said, however he thought there must
be some mistake about that, for the law
only wants once more to get its hands on
Mr.. Falk and it will give him a great
deal more trial than he wants.
Mr.. Falk was indicted on May II 1892,
when Judge Cole was district attorney.
He was not at hand when the Indictment
was returned.
The evidence was that Mr.. Falk had
sent out circulars through the mails, in
viting shipments OF butter, eggs, and other
produce, which he had, he claimed, ex
ceptional facilities for selling. He got
considerable patronage, and, it is alleged,
rapidly sold the stuff consigned TO him, by
letting 1t go at low prices, and pocketed
the money. He forgot entirely TO make
any returns TO his consgnors.
A bench warrant was issued at once
upon the grand jury's report, but Mr.. Fax
was not found till June 4, nearly month
later. He was then brought in and
pleaded not guilty. Awaiting trial, his
bond was taken in 81 ,00O, with Louis p.
Krey as bondsman.
This bond, says Mr.. Harvey Given, Of
the district attorneys office, was for
fcited, and the United States marshal has
never since been able TO find Mr.. Fax.
There are several cases against him.
On December II last, Mr.. Joseph G.
Bigelow, as Mr.. Falk's attorney. came into
court and asked that day be set for
trial. But District Attorney Birney had
another account to give of this matter
He objected 10 nave a man under indict-
ment hold himself out of reach of the
court and negotiate for q time for trial.
The government might summon witnesses
from distance and make all preparations
for the case, aud Mr.. Fax then fail to
appear. The first preliminary, he in
sisted, was for Mr.. Falk to surrender
aud go to jail, or to give bond for his
appearance when the case was called.
Upon this representa- ton, no day was set.
Yesterday Mr.. Bigelow again moved the
court 10 set q day for the trial OF his client,
and invoked the Federal constitution 10
enforce his demand.

FORMALLY PRESENTED HIM.
New Minister From Korea Hands His
Credentials to- the President.

Pom Kwam Sob, the new minister from
Korea to the United States, was formally
presented to President Cleveland in the
Blue Room OF the White House by Secretary
0luey yesterday morning.
The ceremony was made particularly
interesting from the fact that it was the
first occasion of state at which Korea's
diplomatic representatives have appeared
in European dress and without q queue
up -r Inc decree of January l last.
The garments of the Western world are
not strange to Mr.. Sob, however. as he has
become used tn them in his long career as an
employe OF the United States Government in
Washington during his period of exile from
the Hermit Kingdom.
.tLg taA, who has been charge
d'affaircs of Korea in Washington for some
utne, iiso appeared at ease in his conven-
tional frock coat. He adopted European
dress more thaua year go. Bong sun PAX,
the new secretary OF the legation, was also
of the party, but he had evidently not taken
so kindly to his recent discarding OF the
flowing robes of bis forefatherS.
The minister handed the President a
case of blue silk, bound with yellow cord.
In which his credentials were contaiued.
The addresses were formal and not extra
ordinary in character.

Another Delegation OF Citizens Be.
fore the Senate District Com mittee
Not satisfied with one hearing sub
committee OF the District Senate Committee
heard number of citizens in favor of O.
new telephone company. Senators Proctor
and Bacon were the subcommittee, and
Tor the company appeared: Hon. Benjamin
Butterworth, 7, A. Lambert, T. Cushing
Daniel, and Mr.. Baker.
Mr.. t. Cushing Daniel was the first
speaker. lie SAID that after consultation
with merchants of the city he found the
only relief from the Bell Telephone Com
pany cxactions was competition. Two
years ago, he said, the Bell Telephone
service numbered 2,200, and in the past
two years at least SEQ subscribers have
dropped out. He advocated the new
company, because he felt sure he was not
interfering with any vested right. He
thought in the Capita! there should be
5000 telephones. This new bill limited
the maximum price and the only question
was how it could be done.
Mr.. Bacon asked If there was any pro-
vision protecting the citizens from a sell
out.
Mr.. Daniel said there was not, but it
could be put in. He then took up the
point that there should he one central tele-
phone and second would be out of place.
Mr.. Daniel said the modern way was To
have suhstations ana the Commissioners
now view this i'll a better light. He said
the company was willing to make enough
conduits or ducts to put under ground all
the overhead wires III the District. He
had an amendment to this effect prepared.
In discussion it was shown that the
parent company owned 30 per cent, and
beside get rent of machine.

that SO many subiec,s snould ue IegisIa.ed

Mr.. Butterworth then followed and made
lengthy argument in favor of the new
company.

This stayed his hand--not only stayed

"and here we are"
When they were ont OF sight, John
Wesley went into the lot and looked at
the horses. He was so much interested
in their comfort that he loosed their
halters. Then he cast glance upwards
and chuckled. A wasp nest rs big as a

the rafters, teeming with these irrita-
bic insects. John Wesley went outside,

Wesley went into the house by n back

the stock lightly with the palm OF his
hand TO shake the powder down, ana
held himself i'm readiness. When the
men came in sight Hildreth of Hall was
slightly in advance of the others.
John Wesley slowly raised his rifle
pnd was about TO bring the barrel TO
a level with his eyes when he saw a
flash of fire on the opposite bank, and
heard the sharp crack of rifle. He was
SO taken by surprise that he raised HIM
self in the bushes and looked about him.
Hildrcth of Hall had tumbled forward
in asheap at the flash, and the other men
Jumped over his body and ran like rab-
bits. Before the hatful Of smoke had
lifted 10 the level of the tree tops they
were out of hearing.
John Wesley crossed the road and
went TO the other side. There he saw
Loorany Parmalee leaning against a
tree, breathing hard. AT her feet lay

"You spilled ny game" he remarked.
'Is he dead?" she asked.
"E'en about" he replied. She threw
her head back and breathed hard. John
Wesley picked up the rifle and exam
ined it.
"Was you gwine 10 kill him?" Loorany
asked.
"Well, sorter that away, reckon"
