VEXED FUR QUESTION.
Collector Milne Takes a Shy at AL
legged EXPERTS.

Victoria. B. c., July ia. r. Milne.
collector of customs at this port. has
made a public statement, replying to
the criticism of Professor Thompser'S
sealing report made by ]. II. Liebes
( the sealing expert of the American
Commercial company.
Milne says his report which Liebes
attacks is absolutely correct. the fig
ures being given by the captains of
schooners under oath and verified by
diSinterested experts who spent the
season on different schoOners. He says
nobody can tell a male from a female
skin after they have been in salt two
or three months. so il would be USE.
less TO have skins examined here upon
the arrival of schOoners. A test was
made of this two or three years ago
and it was found impossible TO tell
one skin from another. with the eX-
ception of old bulls, which can be told
by the name.
Milne charges that the officials at
Washington include catches of Puget
Sound schOoners TO make il appear
that his statement is wrong. He has
the evidence of Mr.. Maynard of the
Natural History society. who visited
the Islands several years ago. that
most of the pups were killed by sand
storms.
Canadian sealers are preparing sta
tistics to prevent. if possible. the Brit
ish government from meeting the view
of the United States and modifying
the regulations.

TO TEST FLOUR GOLD.
A New Machine to Be Tried Here
This Week.

Mr. j. A Rifle OF Denver is here and

Rifle states he will go on to Idaho

In appearance it is not unlike square
trough, with sides foot or so deep.
There is double false bottom with

of it. The pockets are in shape a
quadrant of circle, with a fiange pro-

quicksilver from leaving the pockets
under downward pressure. The pockets
are set with one fiat side to the side
Of the box, and the other standing at

the sides of che trough, and each over

is topped with an amalgamated copper

plates form a whirlpool with The

He Talks of the Highland Boy and
Proposed Smelter.

Ihomas Weir, superintendent of the

by a Herald representative at his home
at the Grand hotel last evening. When
questioned regarding the report that
a smeter is to be erected here by those
who control the Highland Boy. Mr..
Weir said il was yet premature for
MN to say that a smeiter would be
erected. There is one thing certain. -
said Mr.. Weir; with the existing com
tune we do not propose to let the
shelters here treat our ores until they

acting from mine owners. | have lust

would cost to put up a smelling plant
ana unless the present charges are re-
duced our PEOPLE would not hesitate
about building another plant here. I'm
less the present combine changes it's
plans, there may necessarily have to
be something done to offset it. We are

INDIAN DANCES.
THEY SHOCK AN AGENT IN
NEW MEXICO.
"Whole Question With It's Damnable
Ramifications Will Have to Be
Settled Sooner or Later"

Washington. July 1.-THE army
officer in charge of the Pueblo and
Jiccarilla Indian agency in New Mexico
has submitted a very vigorous report
on the dances carried on by the tribe
and has asked for instructions looking
TO giving the teachers on the ressrVa-
ton security from insults from the IN
dams in the future. He says he has
just finished an inspection of the day
schools about the agency and found
that many teachers complained that on
account os the dances in the Pueblo
agency they were either locked in the
rooms and compelled to remain there
Unsn the festivities were over, or
were driven from the village entirely
and not allowed to come back until the
expiration of a given period of time.
The whole question in all its damn
able ramificati tons" the agent insists,
will have to be settled sooner or later.
The government cannot go on paying
of dollars annually for the
civilization of Indians when these
plague spots exist, and they live on
its bounty"

Washington, July u-Beyond the
fact that the general deficiency. appro-
priation bill Will be passed and that
: the, senate viii stand ready TO take up
the tariff bill at any time that a report
may be brought in by the conference
committee, little can be predicted of
the course of events in the senate dur
ing the present week. The disposition
is TO do little in the way of general
legislation and there is a proposition
under consideration by the leaders of
the two sides OF the chamber 10 adopt
the plan now in vogue in the house for
sitting only every third day after the
deficiency bill shall have been disposed
Of
This suggestion has been made in
view of the possibility of pressure to
take up the matter Of the appointment
of a currency commission. The general
impression about the senate is that the
house Will pass such 4 bin on the
subject as the president may recon-
mend. but there is no probability thar
the senate Will take the matter up
seriously. They desire TO make this
intention clear by infrequent meetings.
Thre are, however, some matters on
the executive calendar demanding at
tention and there may be an effort 10
clear this calendar OF during the week.
If such should prove TO be the case,
there would be more or less discussion
in the executive session over the Nc
Cord, Warner and GoOdnOw nominal
lions. The friends of the Hawaiian an
nexaJiOn treaty on the foreign reia-
tons committee also hope to be author
lied to report ratification resolution
at their meeting next Wednesday. but
it is by no means certain that the com
mittee will be able to reach an agree
mentn so SOOn-
Monday will be devoted to the gen
eral deficiency bill, particular attention
being given 10 the provision for the
purchase of arTnor plate at $425 per
ton. This portion of the bill will be
seriously antagonized and quite fiercely
debated. Senator Harris. of Kansas,
will endeavor to get up his resolution
the reorganization OF the
Union Pacific railway during the week.
but in this Will be opposed and is not
likely to succeed
The tariff conference confidently ex-
pect to bring in the tariff bill by Thurs
day. The length of the debate on the
report will depend upon how we'll the
senate conferees may have succeeded
in maintaining the integrity OF the
senate bill. The Democrats and other
opponents of the bill make no secret of
their intention to oppose the adoption

WATTERSON AND REAGAN
LIVELY SET-TO ABOUT LIN
COINS POSITION.
Watterson Insists That Reagan Did
Make the Statements Attributed
to Him.

Louisville, KY, July 1.-Mr. Henri
Watterson publishes in the Courier
Journal tomorrow an elaborate reply
TO Judge Reagan's denial that Mr.
Lincoln contemplated payment for the
slaves. under certain conditions. and
that he said to Mr.. stephens: Let me
write Union at the top of this page
and you may write below it whatever
! you please"
Mr.. Watterson sustains his position
! by profuse documentary evidence. He
/ quotes Mr. stephens account of the
| Fortress Monroe conference and pro-
duces a joint resolution prepared by
Mr.. Lincoln to prove that indemnity
for the slaves was contemplated. He
cites several creditable witnesses, all
of whom declare, as Mr.. Watterson de-
clares himself that Mr.. Stephens did
make the statement ascribed to him.
In closing. Mr.. Watterson says:
Mr. WattersOn regrets that Judge
Reagan has seen fit to recur to a ques
tion he thought was settled. He was
surprised by the passage in Judge
Reagan's Nashville address, but he
concluded not to revive an issue. which.
aside from seeming ungracious 70
fraternal occasion. cannot, in the ma
ture of the case, be very agreeable as
a retroSpection. or profitable as a sub
ject of political discussion. The insist
cnce of Judge Reagan in keeping ii
alive and in urging a view which is
contradicted by the best and amplest
testimony leaves him no other alter
native. He is just as free from any
just accusation of purpose TO mis-
re. ort any southern aspect of the his
tory of the war as Judge Reagan is
himself. But he has no personal mo-
tive, as Judge Reagan has, for making
a special plea in behalf of any partic-
ular view. 1t is fact that within less
than so DAYS of its total collapse the
confederacy might have made honor
able and advantageous terms of peace
on the basis Of the restoration of the
Union, and it is a fact that the COM
missioners sent TO Fortress Monroe re-
fused to treat on other terms than the
recognition Of the independence of the
confederacv. Whether IL was
best to let the collapse come is an
other matter. That it was coming
was in point of fact imminent was per-
fectlty well known in official circles at
Richmond. That within less than so
days il actually came is history.
Whether it was best for the cOnfeder-
ate president and authorities to take
time by the forelock and with full
knowledge of the impending disaster
before their eyes to seek some other
settlement than that of the impossible
recognition of the independence OF the
states. or to leave the bot
tom literally to drop from the tub. the /
confederate armies at the mercy of /
Grant and Sherman. the confederate |
capital abandoned and the confederate !
government in fight, belongs TO a chap |
ter of speculative philosophy which I
we do not care at present to explore"

Carter. who is A. years % age. had a
wife. a daughter and q son besides an
adopted child of his brother. all of
whom were dependent upon him for
support.
Immediately after his incarceration
his boy and girl secured employment
and have since cared for the family.
The daughter never ceased in her
efforts to secure her fathers release
and made three trips TO Washington
for that purpose. Her first visit to
President Mckinley was unsuccessful.
but about a week ago she saw Presi-
dent Mckinley in person and made SO
strong a plea that he finally granted
her request.
The petition for pardon was backed
