the las; few years considerably ealarged the
I hotel aud made many other improvements, to
which the public responded promptly, aud
last year they were crowded te the full ca

WASHINGTON, July 16-Ex-S Secretary
Foster is believed to be meeting with
large measure of success in his efforts to
secure from the British government addi-
tional measures of protection for the seals
in Boring sea. While he has not We. re-
ported that the British have formally con-
scented to participate in a conference with
this object in view, unofficial advices indi-
cate that this is about to be accomplished.
The ex-secretary has secured powerful as
sistance from the great London skin dress
ers, who handle ali of the sealskins taken
in the North Pacific and Boring sea and
merchants are advised fully as to the pros
poets of each years catch and the state of
the sealeries, so it is regarded as strength
ening General Fosters case very much
when, as he reports by cable to the State
Department, they affirm the correctness of
the conclusions reached by the American
expert Jordan and by inference reject those
of the Canadian expert Thompson. The is
sue between the experts, shortly stated,
was whether or not the seals are being ex-
terminated under existing regulations. The
American finding was in the affirmative. If
General Foster has paved the way for an
international conference to protect the
seals he has secured the most urgent of the
demands made by our government but
there is still no evidence that the British
government is willing TO enter into a modus
vivendi to save the seals while the inter-
minabe talking of such conference is go
ing on and that was, 1t IS said here, one OF
the most important objects of his mission.

LAST VIEW OF THE BALLOON
GOING NORTHEAST AT A RATE OF
TWENTY-FIVE MILES AN HOUR.
The Most Unique Exploring Expedi-
ton in History Started
from Spitzbergen.

TROMSOE, Norway July 16.-The steam
er Svenskund, which has arrived here from
Spitzbergen, reports that Herr Andree, the
aeronaut, assembled in his balloon on Sun
day afternoon July II, at 2:3O o'clock. The
ascent was made under favorable circum-
stances. The wind was good and all was
well.
AS the wind conditions were more favora-
BILE on Sunday morning than they had pre-
viously been, the order was given that the
start should be made quickly posi-
bic. The preparations occupied three and
one-half hours. The balloon. which was
christened the Eagle. made a successful as
cent amid the shouts and cheers of the
crowd which had gathered to witness its
departure.
Despite the lightness of the wind the bal
loon rose rapidly until altitude of about
600 feet had been attained, when it was
forced down nearly to the surface Of the
sea. After a few sand bags had been
thrown ont. however, it again assembled.
The weather was clear and the Eagle was
visible for an hour. travelling in a north
nOrtheaSterly direction. When last seen it
was moving at the rate of twenty-five miles
an hour.

had stated positively that the Senate would
not consider any sum over $500 for armor.
The report was agreed to and further
conference ordered
Mr. Morgan secured the adoption of
resolution requesting the President for In
Hugnet, citizen of the United States, by
the Spanish authorities at Havana on Sept.
9. 1896 MIR. Morgan briefly recited the cir
cumstances in the case and stated that he
trarily to Danish United States citizen do
ing business in Cuba without trial or evil
dence of his participation in the rebellion.
The resolution was agreed to without di-
vision.
The Harris resolution relating to the sale
of the government interests in the Union
Pacifc Railroad was then taken up, and
Mr.. Allen continued his speech in support
of the resolution. After discussing the legal
points involved. Mr.. Allen declared that if
Congress neglected at this time to stay the
sale of the government in this case, in
Volving a loss of $50 000, 600, 1t would be the
greatest blot and stain on this government
that had been made in all the years of our
national existence.
Mr.. Thurston interrupted to state that the
railroad debt was almost $40 000,0 00 while
the guaranteed bid was $45, 000 600, so that
the loss could not exceed $25, COS, 900.
There was a spirited discussion at one
point in Mr.. Aliens remarks when Mr.
Warren, of Wyoming sought to call at
tention to the absence of a quorum. Mr..
Allen declined to yield for this purpose and
the presiding officer was in doubt as to the
right of a senator to call attention to the
absence of a quorum when the senator on
the floor declined to yield Mr.. Hale said

FLIRTING WITH SPAIN
PRINCE TAkEHEITO INVESTS AL
FONSO WITH JAPANESE ORDER.
Legation at Washington Denies that
This Has Any Significance of an
Alliance Against Us.

LONDON, July 16-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Pail Mall Gazette says
1.-The most notable event thus far of the
Spanish court season at San Sebastian has
been the visit of Prince Takeheito, Japan
csc ambassador extraordinary, who was
sent to invest King Alfonso with the Jap
anese imperial order Of the Chrysanthe-
mum. The visit is considered of peculiar
Importance. The envoy was received with
extreme cordtality by the Queen and the
government. Prince Takeheito, who was
accompanied by the Marquis Ito, was re-
ceived with full state by the Duke of Te-
tuan, Spanish minister of foreign affairs,
and all the court functionaries. The streets
were lined with troops. The distinguished
visitors were conducted to the palace
where the Queen and a brilliant retinue
welcomed them with high honors. Ban
Quets, balls and other marked compliments
followed and the war ships in the bay were
decorated with flags and bunting.
The Duke of Tetuan has gone out of his
way TO protest that the mission is purely
complimentary and without political signifi-
canoe, although a Japanese legation may
be established at Madrid. 1t is said that
the occurrence is being carefully observed
in the United States"

Az to Public Requests.
Boston Transcript.

Whenever there is an announcement of
public requests in the papers everybody
goes over the list eagerly to see what ia
Vorite educational institution or charity of
his has received a gift. Next thing TO get
ting bequest oneself the pleasantest thing
is to see ones alma mater, or the charita-
BILE institution that one has long made pet
of, coming in for a snug sum. These en-
dowments are always an interesting reVela-
ton of the character of the giver. When
millionaire endows only the charities of his
own religious denomination, and those
chiefly of a PROSECUTING order we know
just how he was brought up; when his
benefactionS are distributed among various
Sects of his own religious grand division
we know that something gave his nature
a somewhat different twist from the other
estant and Catholic charities and insti-
tutions we get a mental picture of per-
son of genuinely inclusive disposition. We
do not need to be told what the personal
history is of a man who bequeaths large
sums of money to found or help means of
popular education. He had a hard time to
get hold of the education he needed when
ten thousand to Phillips Exeter, ten thou
sand TO Harvard, ten thousand to d rich
church and ten thousand to a fashionable
charity or two, and several times ten thou
sand to his children, blaZes out for you
very plainly the easy road that he followed
through life. The man who discharges his
last will and testament in bird shot, as it
were giving a thousand or five hundred
or such matter to each of about thirty
say mo to anybody or else that he was
coVetous of posthumous small praise from
a great many people And so on. with every
sort of public bequeStOr.

THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
A Promotion Due to Merit-The New
Reading-ROOm superintendent.
Special i'm New York Post.

Washington Special in New York Post
Whatever mistakes John Russell Young
may make in organizing his force to take
charge of the new Library of Congress, he
has made one appointment which is in the
strict line of civil-service reform, and
which has no political significance or bear
ing. This is the naming of David Hutche
son, of this city, to be superintendent of
the reading room. Mr.. Hutcheson has for
many years been Mr. spolfords principal
assistant, and has proved a sure depend
ence for his chief He has executive ca
pacity, courtesy. and tact besides a thor
ough knowledge of the library. All these
traits have been invaluable in dealing with
thousands of strangers as well residents
who frequent the reading room to examine
reference books Mr.. Hutchinson will be
recognized by many students and literary
persons all over the country who do not
know his name, but who will remember
the dark-compeXioned, black-haired as
sistant, of about middle age, quick of move
ment and speech attentive and patient, and
with a pleasant voice and manner.
Mr.. Hutcheson has no political pull"
His appointment is a tribute paid to merit
alone, and the cordial acclaim of approval
heard everywhere in the streets and at the
Capitol ought to suggest to the new libra
rian the wisdom of making such appoint
ments the rule and not the exception.

Battle Ships Ready to Start.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 1.-THE
Bulletin says this evening that it has re-
ceived reliable information to the effect
that the Navy Department has determined
not to be caught mapping in the event of
trouble with the Japanese over the annex
alton of the Hawaiian islands. All orders
of the department, which would have re-
suited in moving ships of the Pacific and
Asiatic squadrons from headquarters to dis
tant points, have been temporarily sus-
pended. While the authorities at Washing
ton deny that there is any effort to keep
all available vessels at ports where orders
can reach them at short notice, naval Off
GERS admit that such a scheme is being car
ried out and orders have been issued to the
vessels in the Asidtic squadron requiring
the fleet to make no move and to hold
themselves in readiness to return to the
coast or proceed to Hawaii on short notice.
The report that the coast defense monitors
Monadnock and Monterey will be sent to
Honolulu is denied and the statement is
made that they will be held on the coast.
Inquiries have been received at Mare ISL
and yards from headquarters as to the con-
dition of the cruiser Baltimore, now under
going repairs there, with the view of put
ting her in commission in case of emergen-
cy, although under ordinary conditions she
would not be ready for service until Sep
TENDER next or even later.

Great Increase In the Investment De-
mand for Municipal Bonds.


Even the most active and spirited bid
ders among the well-known dealers in NUM-
cipal bonds will be surprised on examining
the list which we publish of bond sales dur
ing the month of June just closed as Off
cially reported to the Bond Buyer. Com
pariSon of the aggregate results of the sales
for the same months of previous years will
astonish still more, while comparisons of
the totals of sales for the first half year of
1897 and 1896 will be found to furnish unsus-
pected evidences Of the extraordinary de-
Veopment of the permanent investment in
municipal bonds now going on in all parts
OF the United States.
The firms buying the most numerously
and In largest amounts will be found to be
among the most substantial houses in the
country. The class of bidders whom we
designated as "D1Stage-stamp bidders" APP
pear to have entirely disappeared; one such
expose as the Bond Buyer gave to this
class Of fellows seems to have been suffl-
Gent to dispense them; nevertheless we
shall keep sharp eye upon them lest they
again appear to scandalize the business
The great majority of bonding NUM-
cipalities are located in the richest section
of the country and in States which last
year by vote of their citizens, committed
themselves to the payment of loans in gold,
and as decidedly opposed TO the false idea
OF payment in silver at 10 10 !, or any
other than the actual commercial ratio OF
gold and silver. There has been an I'M
provement in some OF the benighted States
which voted for the free coinage OF silver
at ratio which would douby enrich the
forty odd silver-mine conspirators, but in
eVitably impoverish the misguided people
who voted away their credit III voting Tor
the hired advocate of the mine owners.
1t will be seen from the summary of our
long table that during June there We're
sold 262 different issues OF bonds to 100
different bidders, and that the total Of
sales reached the aggregate of $l9,9H919.
Each of these separate totals are eXtraor-
binary by comparison with any previous
months when the busi.C IS was in its pres
ent normal and health, condition. The
number of separate oilers is fully double
the average of all the months during the
six years in which the Bond Buyer has
been compiling the facts and figures of this
extraordinarily developed branch of per
manent investment. The total of sales for
June is larger than that of any month since
1891, except the phenomenal month of No
vember following the defeat of the silver
conspiracy, when unsold accommodations OF
the five months of the presidential cam
paign were sold to the amount OF $685. l0o, ia
in three weeks after it was known that Nc
Kinley and sound money had prevailed be-
fore the people.
Following are the figures OF comparative
monthly sales for the first six months of
1896 and 1897, in both of which periods the
business was in its normal condition:
