stop the slaughter now going on al sea.
The high regard entertained for Mr.
Foster in Russia and his intimate
knowledge OF the seal question, OBJ
tained through his conduct of the case
of the United States before the Paris
tribunal Of arbitration, especially fits
him for the task assigned him by the
president.
The continued diminution. ana
threatened determination of the seal
herd reported by Prof. Jordan, as the re-
suit of his Investigations on the seal
islands last year, is said to greatly con-
cern the president, and probably the first
step made will be an attempt to secure
a renewal of the modus vivendi of 1891,
to which the United States, Russia and
England would be parties. This would
suspend all killing in Bering sea until
next year, when, under the terms of the
Paris award, the regulations now in
force would be reconsidered with y
view to their modification. Failing 10
secure a modus vivendi, 1t is believed
the government will employ all its re-
sources to protect the herd as much o :
possible from injury during the investi-
cation. The branding of females and
pups. thus destroying their pelts, so
successfully experimental with last year,

Another scherne of Relief

The Salvation army has been investi-
eating the'Pingree idea OF relief for the
unemployed and has now come forward
with a plan, which Is considered feas-
fble 1t Is intended to start up various
industries on a small scale, to manufac-
ture articles of common use, where the
element of labor is lareg factor, and
which will not conflict in any consider
able degree with existing local interests.
The Salvatlonists are particularly de-
sirous of finding lines of work where
women can be employed, and the first
one to be undertaken for experiment
will be the manufacture of rag carpet.
The army will send out its own solicit
ors to secure the rags from the people Of
the city, and for so worthy an object
large quantities can undoubtedly be
secured without other cost than that of
the gathering. At the beginning from
ten to twenty women can be put to work
at SO a week sorting and cutting the rags
and weaving them into carpet. The out
lay for plant will be small, and 1t is call
culated that the sum of 5000 will accom-
plish all that is necessary to start the
undertaking and provide working capt.
tai until returns come i'll. AS soon as the
merit of the enterprise becomes appar-
ent. it will be possible to enlarge 1t to en-
ploy many more women. and perhaps
some men.

NOT DUNBAR
The Multi-Murderer Is Still Running

COULTERVILLE, April S.-The au-
thorities believe they have captured the
murderer Durham, who killed his wife,
his father-in-law and four others at San
Jose, and for whom the police and sher-
IFS of the entire country are on the look
out. Late last night miner made mur-

brought to Jail here. Subsequently the
prisoner was identified as Dunham by
DR.. T. p Koenig, who is in practice here.
and by Frank Bruschi. local merchant.
Koenig attended school with Dunham
and Bruschi occupied a room next to
Dunham at Santa Clara. Each is posi-.
tive in his Identification. When arrested
the prisoner had in his possession a
large knife. He acted like a maniac
from the moment of his arrest. When
asked his name he at first said that he
did not know what his name is, but after
wards said that 1t was David. He was
taken to Merced today by the arresting
officer

Before he could be again placed under
restraint he had knocked one Of the wo-

time unconscious. Upon the arrival
of the patrol wagon the negro wes put
aboard and taken to the police station.
There more difficulty was encountered.
He refused to give his name. and abused
everyone present in most vile language
Upon being placed in Jail he fought
both officer Miles Long and Jailer Rich
ardson in a frenzied manner. After an
exciting tussle he was conquered.
Deputy Mugnemi received bad cut

more severely beaten. The negro was
not intoxicated, but merely Ill of pure
deviltry, and was determined that he
would not submit to an arrest. A charge

A CASE DECIDED
Bank Depositors May Get Their
Money

ST. PAUL, Mimi, April S.-After litiea-'
ton unprecedented in this state Judge
Bunne of the district court has fled de-
cisions in the "bank cases." Following tho
suspension of the Bank Of Minnesota, the
Germania and Allemania bank, many de-
positors applied for an oreder that theie|
money and checks be returned to them.
In the case of the Bank of Minnesota
Judge Bunne examined the question Of the
insolvency Of the bank previous TO Decem-
ber 22d, when it failed. He finds that the
bank had persistently violated the state
banking law, that the officers had been re-
ceiving deposits with the full knowtedgo
of the banks insolvency and that the
guilty knowledge gives to Its depositora
the right to get their money If they csn|
trace it to receivers. With respect to each
of the classes of funds the court makes =
distinct order in the case of each bank
The court holds that the title to the checx0|
on other banks remains with the depoeits|
ors. but the cash deposits cannot be trao44
and therefore cannot be recovered

To Furnish Armor for
Battleships
PRICE FIXED BY CONGRESS
roo SMALL TO TEMPT MANUFAC-
TURERs
rhe Companies Stand Ready to Sell
Their Plants to the Government
Below Cost
Associated Press Special Wire.


WASHINGTON, April s.-The navy
departemnt received today but one bid
In answer to the advertisement calling
for proposals for supplying 800 tons of
armor for the three battleships Illinois,
wisconsin and Alabama, and 1t was ir-
regular in form. 1t came from the ILL
nois Steel company of Chicago, and
proposed to supply 5000 tons of armor at
$3.50 a ton on the condition that it be
given twenty-year contract to supply
all naval armor. In such case the re-
mainder of the armor would be supplied
for $240 ton, the armor to be paid for
IN gold coin. An alternative proposition
contemplated the erection of an armor
plant by the government and its supply
with steel by the Illinois company. No
awards were made. and the whole mat
ter will probably be referred to con-
gress.
The interest felt in today's bidding
was manifested by the number of per-
sons present. Besides representative
officials of the leading iron works. ex-
Secretary Herbert and a number of
naval experts from the ordnance, engi-
neering and construction bureaus were
In attendance.
In view of the fact that congress by
an amendment to the naval appropria-
tion bill had limited the sum to be
paid for armer for the three battleships
to a maximum of $500 per ton. as against
about $500 now paid, there was no sur
prise expressed by the persons present
in the secretary's office when Secretary
Long, taking his place at the head of
the table, announced that only one bid
had been received, that one being from
the Illinois Steel company of Chicago
Before the bid was read Lieutenant
Stone, for the Carnegie company and
Vice President Davenport for the Beth
lehem company, presented to Secretary
Long written statements.
President Schwab of the Carnegie
company writes that they are unable
to bid as, with all our facilities and
experience, we cannot supply the gov
ernment with armor of the quality we
are now making at that price ($300)."
Vice President and General Manager
Sayre sets out the position of the Beth
lehem Iron company in long letter.
He says the company cannot bid within
the price (s3OO. per ton) fixed by con-
gress.
An important factor in fixing the
price is the smallness and uncertainty
of the product compared with the ne
cessary plant. The orders for naval
armor in four years up to June 1st last
were at the rate of 1549 tons annually,
and 1t is not likely that future orders
will exceed 1000 tons per annum. The
armor plant costs s4,oOo.0oO A charge
of is per cent to cover depreciation,
equaling 5000 900 per annum. would make
the fixed charge $4,000 per ton for armor
exclusive of all other cost to manufac-
ture. To have the magnificent plant
lie idle and the skilled workmen scat
tered would be national misfortune,
1t is declared.
In conclusion Mr.. Sayre says that
while the company cannot supply the
small quantity of armor required at
prices materially lower than those now
paid. it still stands ready to sell it's plant
to the government below cost.
