NO QUORUM.
A Number of Legislators Were at
State House, However.
Gov. Lippitt Advocates Celebration of
25Oth Anniversary Of First Charter.

OF course, there was no quorum of the Leg
islature present today, but there were enough
members of the Senate and House present in
spite OF the1storm, TO have an informal gather
ing in. the State House library and hiscuss
the affairs Of the people
Governor Lippitt was present and urged
upon members the propriety of celebrating
the 250th anniversary of the first Rhode Island
charter, which occurs nsxt May.
He expressed the hope that the Legislature
would give proper attention to the matter and
also suggested that the militia be ordered out
and assembled Mt Portsmouth not only because
il was in that town that the charter meeting
of l6i1 was held but because they would be
near the site of the battle Of Rhode Island,
which Lafayette claimed was the best con.
Quoted action of the revolutionary war, and
in which the Rhode Island troops achieved
splendid victory. To have the Rhode Island
troops OF our own time visit that spot as
military body and 10 have them appreciate
the value of its historical significance would.
in the opinion of the Governor, be advisable.
The cost of celebration of the adoption of
the charter would, without ordering out the
militia, be about 5000, and with the militia
perhaps twice as much.
The following paragraph relative TO the mat
ter occurred in the executive message:
In May, 1897, the State record commission
er reports, will occur the 25Oth anniversary of
the beginning of thexcharter government OF
Rhode Island. At meeting of the people of
the colony of Portsmouth in May, 1857, the
first charter was adopted. The propriety of
commemorating with appropriate exercises
the 25Oth anniversary of the foundation of
the charter government of the State of Rhode
Island and Providence Plantations has been
suggested. 1t is "a circumstance that should
have the attention of the General Assembly,
and proper provision should be made for its
observance"

ANOTHER SEAL REPORT.
David Starr Jordan Suggests Solution
OF Question.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-David Starr
Jordan. commissioner in charge of the
fur seal Investigations for 1896. in his
report to the secretary OF the treasury,
makes a close estimate of the seals of all
classes at one time or another on the
Pribylof islands during the last sum-
mer. and finds the number TO have been
about 100000. of which over So 900 died on
or about the islands during the same
period. OF the total mortality. pelagic
sealing accounts for 29,39S, and about
1900 pups died of starvation or tramp
ling. In concluding his long and COM
prehensive report, Mr.. Jordan points out
what he believes would prove a solution
OF the whole question of the preservation
OF the fur seal. He says:
'The sole possible basis Of adjustment
must be the protection of the fur seals
through concessions. international cour-
tesy and self-respess. So long as pelagic
sealing exists. the restrictions governing
II are Of slight Importance. and the re-
fations between the owners of the
Pribylof islands and the nation whose
ships have the right to destroy it's herd
must be In some degree strained.
THE ultimate end in view should be an
international arrangement whereby all
skins Of female fur seals should be
seized and destroyed by the custom au-
thoritles OF civilized nations, whether
taken on land or sea from the Pribylof
herd. the Aslatic herds or In the lawless
raiding OF the.Antartic rookeries. In the
destruction of the fur seal rookeries Of
the Antartic as well as those of the Jap
an islands and OF Behring sea. Ameri-
can enterprise has taken a leading part.
II would be well for America TO lead the
way i'm stopping pelagic sealing by re-
straining her own citizens, without wait
ing for the action of other nations. We
can ask for protection with better grace
when we have accorded unasked protec-
tion to others"

Why a Policeman Visited
-'--H Headquarters - : -
Had Packages of Medicine
SenttO a Fellow Copper"
Punched Holes in Tape of the Station
Recording Machine.

They tell queer stories about . police
man at the Seventh station and the otf,cer
has been a frequent visitor to police head
quarters in consequence. According to
the statements of fellow policemen at the
station two of the men have been on bad
terms and IL the reports are true the
trouble will culminate di.astrously for
one OF them. Some time ago q firm Of
advertisers received an or ier for medicine
and tic order was signed by one Of the
men who is not friendly with all of his
associates. With characteristic dispatch
the meo oicine arrived at the station ana
the express charge of so cents was paid
by tie station policeman on duty at that
time. On opening the package the man
TO whom IL was addressed declared that
be had sent no oraer for the stuff. ana
gave instructions that=i-anytbing else
showed up not to pay the charges. In a
few days m >re medicine arrived from
New York addressed to the same officer.
Ire charge on this package was IS and 1t
was not psid. A package OF epipletic fit
medicine was also received from Chicago.
The policeman began TO suspect that some
thing crooked was going on and he sent
to The firm In New York, furnishing the
first supply, for the origina orier. 1t
came and a comparison of the hand writ
ing called attention TO the bad blood ex-
isting between the two officers. Tie
writer cf the order was ct headquarters
the next day. Then the Chicago matter
wss Investigated and the same policeman
visited headquarters for the second time.
The third visit WIS tecause Of report
made by the sergeant Of the 9Th station.
The policeman was seen in an Elmwood
cor barn. but when the sergeant made Nm
investigation Of the premises his man
was nowhere TO be found. 1t is alleged
thst he hurried over into the stati IN anc
put two holes in the tape which would
indicate that q box remote from the barn
had teen visited by the SUSPECTED man at
the time he wss reported in the barn.
The punching of holes 10 the taps Of
tho electric service Of the police depart
ment was q serious misdeinesnor and this
wns tie reason for tne third and last visit
to City Hall. What IL to tie dcne ny the
police officials at headquarters is now the
question that is OF prime interest to the
men at the 9Th station.
