SEAL KILLING
Jordan Hopes the Pending Bill Will
Be Passed

DO EaSSeQ
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Dec.
10.-Dr. David Starr Jordan, in an inter-
view on pelagic sealing and a discussion
Of the congressional bill introduced,
said this evening: $50 far as can judge,
from the reports in the Associated Press.
the bill should be passed.
III such bill had been passed imme-
diately after the Paris award, the whole
matter would have been amicably ad-
justed before this. To have ourselves
taken the initiative in the action we have
urged upon others would have given us
moral advantage which we have hith-
erto lacked. The few thousands OF dol
lars which pelagic sealing has brought
into San Francisco and Port Townsend
have been dearly bought.
Such a bill would have given US a
great commercial advantage. The Unit
ed States has been the chief market for
the dressed skins of female fur seals.
To close this market is to destroy the
great incentive to their destruction and
the consequent destruntiont of the herd.
The killing Of males on the land in the
legitimate way, tends only to help the
growth Of the herd and the consequent
Increased production Of killable males.
I'm those facts lie the whole American
case.
1.-THE Canadian case lies in the admit
ted rule that freedom Of the sea can only
be restricted by international agree
ment. This bill should be great step
toward securing It,"

A CAUCUS CALLED
To Settle ths Fate Of Four Important
Questions

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Congress-
man Richardson. chairman of the DEM
ocratic caucus, today issaed q call for
a caucus Of the Democratic members of
the house, to meet on Tuesday evening
next to consider the four subjects OF
Cuba, Hawaii, finance and bankruptcy.
AS to the action on these questions, a
pretty general understanding has been
reached among the Democratic leaders.
On the subject Of Cuba, the sentiment
Is practically unanimous in favor of q
resolution favoring the recognition of
Cuban belligerency.
On financial questions. the caucus
probably will take position against the
several plans Of financial reform recon-
mended by Secretary Gage.
There is no present purpose to con-
slider the silver question. rs that is not
an issue in the legislation contemplated
by the Republican party Opposition to
the bankruptcy bill is also contemplated
by the caucus.
on the question Of Hawaiian annexa-
ton, 1t is stated by those who have can
vassed the feeling on the Democratic
side, 1t is practically unanimous against
annexation, either by treaty or legisla-
tion.

REGISTERED MAIL
Not an Absolutely Safe Method Of
Sending Money

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-1t was learned
today that one Of the biggest robberies
in the history of the New York postoffice
occurred in November. The amount in
volved Is said to be In the neighborhood
Of 100000, and it was taken from regis
tered letters in the railway mail service,
on that section Of the Central Railway
of New Jersey known as the New York,
Sommerville and Eastern branch. On
November 9Th, 1t is stated, two packages
containing $4,000 were taken. How long
this had been going on before has not
been ascertained. Major Charles F.
Lewis of the Philadelphia branch of the
Government Secret Service was in this
city today investigating, which fact has
been kept quiet by the postal authorities.
LOSS ADMITTED
WASHINGTON, Dec 10.-The post
office officials here tonight admitted that
there had been number Of loses of
registered mail matter reported on the
railroad referred to, but said that the
amount would not reach as much as
100000.

merce commission and it was decided
to press the anti-scalping bill intro
duced in the extraordinary session by
Representative Sherman Of New York,
and all parties interested have been
notified to appear on the date men,
toned.
The Sherman bill makes unlawful the
sale, barter or other transfer of any
kind of railroad ticket by any person
not showing certificate of authority from
the common carrier over whose road the
transportation Is sold, except as between
properly constituted authorised agents
Of train transportation companies and

the Committee on Foreign Relations de-
clines to divulge. but says that there
will be no action and that he expects to
get the treaty up within ten days. Hc
has no hope Of abandoning the treaty
as such and attempting to secure the
same result by legislation.
Representative Pearson of North Ca
rolina has secured seventy-two sigma
lures to the paper circulated among Re-
publican members Of congress for a
conference relative to the civil service
law, as follows: There will be confer
ence on Saturday evening, December
11th, in the river and harbor committee
room Of those Republicans who desire a
modification Of the civil service law or
a more honest enforcement Of its pro-
visions, or q more certain definition Of
the extent Of its application"
In speaking of the conference, Mr..
Pearson said 1t should be understood
that q number Of those members who
signed the call were in favor Of the civil
service idea They felt, however, that
the principle itself was at stake by the
present administration Of the law, and
they were therefore ready to join in con-
sidering what remedy could be had for
the present deficits.
A BOND SCHEME
DENVER, Colo, Dec. 10.-f the
scheme proposed by T. J. Ware of st.
Louis is carried out, Congress will re-
ceive petitions from ell parts of the
country that will, taken altogether, be
as large as the monster petitions which
are sometimes hauled to the British par
lament on the big drays used about the
London docks. Mr.. Wares proposition
is tounite the people Of the United States
in q demand upon Congress to refund the
national debt in bonds Of the denomina-
ton Of $40 and upward, at two per cen,
per annum, payable in twenty-five years,
the demand to combine the features OF
a petition and subscription to the
bonds in order to demonstrate to Con-
gress that the national debt con be taken
care of by the common people.
Mr.. Ware says that he Is carpenter
by trade and has undertaken this work
at the solicitation Of number Of work
ingmen Of st. Louis. who will assist In
spreading tho idea. -.
He Is on his way to the Coast, where
he will inaugurate the movement among
the workingmen OF San Francisco, Port
land. Seattle and Los Angeles.

house Of representatives today that Sec
retary Gage had made his purpose
known not to embody his financial views
in one comprehensive bill, but to cover
special subjects in number of special
bills, some Of which would go before the
house committee on banking and cur
rency, and others before the committee
on ways and means. The banking and
currency committee had formally invit-
ed the secretary to present a bill cover
ing all the phases Of financial reform
suggested in his recent recommendation
to congress, and the desire of members
Of the committee was to treat the SUBJ
ject as an entirety. For that reason
there was considerable comment when
| it was stated that Mr.. Gage would di.
vide the subject into several bills, some
of which would go before the ways and
means committee.
1t was this last feature which occa-
stoned the liveliest comment, owing to
| the sharp contests between the ways
and means committee and the banking
and currency committee. to control leg
islation designed to bring about cur
rency reform. This feeling found ex-
preston on the floor Of the house the Sec
ond day of the session, and after spir-
tied exchange between Mr.. Dingley and
Mr.. Walker, the chairmen of the two
committees, the matter was compro-
missed. The ways and means committee
felt it had carried the day and at its
| meeting Wednesday the formal invita-
| ton was extended to Secretary Gage to
present bill based on his recommends
| tions to congress.
When Secretary Gage this afternoon
tion, he said that he had not yet made
up his mind whether to submit his
propositions in one, two or three bills.
His plan might be better understood II
divided, but he had not yet decided
about the matter and was still at work
on the proposed legislation.
When Mr.. Hill was asked as to the re-
port he said that he could not say what
the secretary would determine to do.
The latter had received an invitation OF
the committee on banking and currency
with much courtesy and had said ho
would appear before the committee at
an early day. While Mr.. Gage did not
outline what he would do as to framing
one or more bills, vet the impression of
Mr.. Hill was that the secretary had un-
der consideration bills of several phases
of financial reform. If the secretary
concludes to adopt this plan, 1t is said
that the bills On refunding the public
debt and placing a tax on circulation will
go to the ways and means committee.

Not Guilty.

PHOENIX, Ariz.. Dec 10.-For the
past week the district court has been
engaged in the trial of Joseph A. Phil
lips, q prominent merchant Of the city,
charged with arson. The case was novel
in that the prosecutions main depend
ence was the evidence that bloodhounds
had tracked the defendant from his
place Of business to his residence. A
strong fight was made over the admissi-
bility Of this evidence, but 1t was allowed
by Judge Street. The defense established
an alibi for the time when the attempt
was made to fire Phillips store, and with
1t one of the main business blocks of the
city, and the verdict Of the Jury was
not guilty.

COTTON OPERATIVES
ARE SUBJECTED TO A CUT IN
THEIR WAGES
The Action at Fall River Will Not Be
Generally Followed in New
England Mills

LOWELL, Mass, Dec. 10.-The re-
ported decision of the Fall River manu-
facturers to reduce wages has not
aroused much comment in Lowell. The
increasing competition Of the Southern
plants has long been foreseen here, and
has been discounted to as great an ex-
tent as possible. Several mills have al
ready installed extensive linen plants
and others have changed their machin-
cry to run on specialties.
EFFECT IN MAINE
LEWISTON, Me-, Dec. 10.-Lewiston
and Auburn mill operatives and agents
are speculating upon the possible effect
on local cotton manufacturing of the
proposed cut down at Fall River. One
agent, in an interview said that the mar
ket was somewhat influenced by the
Fall River mills and the situation might
demand reduction in wages and cur
tailment of the output. Another said he
hoped they would not be compelled to
cut, and he did not borrow trouble. An
other said he considered it more advan-
tageous to curtail production than to
reduce wages.
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
MANCHESTER, N. H., Dec. 1O.--Gen-
eral Agent Herman, Of Haverstraw, of
the Anoskeag corporation, is author
ity for the statement that the cut in
cotton mill wages in Fall River will not
be followed in this city; that the Fall
River action pertains only to the mills
of that city and 1t is not probable that
the example will be followed in other
New England cities.

More Money Needed for the Weather

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The men,

tural had a conference with Secretary
Wilson respecting the needs OF the agri-
cultural department and have been in
formed that the secretary desires in
creased appropriations for weather sta
tions in the far west and in the vicinity
OF the great lakes. The establishment
of additional forecast stations. the Sec
retary thinks, would be greatly to the
benefit Of the fruit industry Of California,
which suffers considerably when there
are no proper warnings Of approaching
storms, while on the lakes extra sta
tions are needed for the protection Of
the maritime interests.

tary says.
