Another way in which communities

Since the construction of the new navy
was begun the rule has been to build yes
sells on the departments plans, but in
building the Porter the Herreschoffs were
given authority to build from their own
design. Figures at the department show
that for extra work on the engines and
boilers OF the Porter to make her fulfill
requirements the Herreshoffs have been
paid $21, 200, and experts say it is extra
or inary that contractors for vessel
which was presumably designed to
develop certain speed and power should
be paid so large sum in excess of the
contract price.
The most serious defect in the vessel is
that her bow is much higher out of water,
and her stern correspondingly lower than
they should be. Her departure from the
trim line is about three feet when it
should not be more than three inches
One result of the defect will he TO prevent
the vessel from entering some of the
shallow waters in the rivers. Anoth er
defect is that she is not galvanized in
side. Her hull is construc led OF thin steel
plates and the action of the interior water
down in the bilges is apt to rust holes
through plates. While the Porter was
undergoing construction miscalculations
were discovered. making it necessary to
lengthen her five feet.

SHARP REPLY TO SELFfiDGE.
The Rear Adm raj Ordered TO Remain at
HIS Posi- Instead OF Gong to the
Queens Jubilee.

WASHINGTON. D. c., May Rear
Admiral Selfridge, commanding the
European station, wants 10 represent the
navy ct the Queens jubilee ceremonies IN
June, and believes the Navy Department
is invading his privileges as a commander
of the European fleet when it assigns
Admiral Miller and another ship to this
duty. Selfridge took his squadron up the
Baltic and with his big staff went across
Russia to Moscow, where he attended the
browning of the Gar, and now he wants
to perform the same duty for the navy
when the Queen cele brates her diamond
jubilee. He has protested to Washington
against Admiral Miller's detail, and has
been sent sharp letter from the Secretary
in which he is informed that the situation
in the far East is too perilous to warrant
his withdrawal for service elsewhere. He
is also told that he will remain where he
is until affairs assume a more tranquil
state, and that under no circumstances
will he be ordered to London in June
One reason that the Brooklyn was sent
over was to avoid the withdrawal of any
ships attached 10 the Mediterranean fleet
for jubilee service.

No Possibility of Such
Suit Going Through
This Year.
There Is Possibility That the
Union Pacific Will Not Be
Foreclosed Upon.
Legal Complications That Will D clay
Any Action Comm enced In
the Courts.

OMAHA, NEBR., May labor circles
are much interested in story printed by
local paper to-day declaring that there
is no probability of the Union Pacific fore
closure going through this year, and prob
ably not at all.
An official ION the inside" is quoted as
the authority, without mentioning names.
In the course of the conversation he said :
Il understand that discretionary
Cornish has been in New York taking tes-
timony from holders of various liens
against the Union Pacific other than that
of the Governments. Now. after all that
testimony has been taken. it is going to
be some time before the master will give
his report on the cases to the court. Even
If these reports were accepted by all par
ties concerned and at once confirmed by
the Federal courts it would take month
or more, but it is pretty we'll understood
that there will be protests from the holders
of certain liens. 1t is natural in a case
like this, where their in terests might be
adversely affected, that there should arise
objections.
these disagreements will cause more
delay, and even after that there are half a
dozen legal processes necessary before the
sale can take place, including the adver-
Using of the sale for sixty days. That's
the reason seriously doubt if there will
be any foreclosure this year. But one
guess is as good as another. In fact,
doubt that foreclosure sale of the Union
Pacific Railway will ever take place at all.

PROTECTION Of
The SEAL HERDS
Salisbury's Refusal to
Be Followed by New
Tactics.
Ex-Secretary Foster to Enter
Negotiations With Japan
and Russia.
Policy of the administration Out
lined to the Foreign Relations
Committee.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 7.-Ex-
Secretary OF State Foster was before the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
about an hour to-day. 1t was the first
full meeting Of the committee for some
and Clarke-were present. The subject
discussed was the necessity of providing
additional safeguards for the protection OF
the seal herds in Boring Sea.
1t has been demonstrated by experience
that the regulations established by the
Paris tribunal, including the sixty mile
limit, are insufficient to accomplish the
purposes desired. Pelagic sealing outside
the prescribed limit is sufficiently dis
astrous to speedily wipe cut the remain
ing seals. To prevent this Foster was
selected by President Mckinley and Sec
rotary Gage to negotiate with Great
Bri ain a modification of the modus vi.
vendi, which does not expire until the
close OF the sealing season OF 1898.
Salisbury's refusal to enter upon the ne
gotiations has just been received, and at
the meeting to-day Foster explained to
the committee that it was the purpose OF
the administration to endeavor to induce
Russia and Japan to aid the United States
to preserve the seals. The whole situa-
ton was canvassed thoroughly, the Sena-
tors evincing a general interest IN the
matter.
Pursuant of this announced purpose of
the administration Foster will sail from
New York May 10. He Will proceed to ST.
Petersburg, where it is hoped he will be
able to effect an arrangement with the
Russian Government by which unre-
stricted sealing on the Picifc Coast can
be prohibited and closed season secured
Similar negotiations, it is said, will be
cono ucted with the Japanese Minister at
Washingt on to cover the waters adjacent
TO that country. The administration does
not believe the British Government will
maintain its refusal to further consider
the m after at the instance of the United
Stats, and If the arrangements suggested
shall be perfected it is thought that Sails
bury's Cabinet will be inclined to m odity
the position it has assumed.
At the meeting of the commit tee to- day
the vote upon the arbitration treaty was
discussed in connection with the seal
question and the opinion expressed that
the votes necessary to defeat its ratifica-
ton were secured at the very last, after
the action OF the British Cabinet upon the
request of the United States for a con-
ference upon the seal question became
known
