THE BOND SALE.
A Transaction of Both Present and
 Ultimate Advantage

President F. M Murphy of the s. F. P. & F., who arrived from Prescott on Monday night, met members of the loan commission yesterday to con- fer with them regarding the da a be- ing prepared for the Illinois Loan and Trust company, with whom MT. Mur- phy has negotiated the sale of terri torial funding bonds described by The Republican yesterday. As was s ated the sale involves $25s,OO0 of the bonds at par with accrued interest. The transaction is an extremely advan- tageous one to the territory and will open the way to "a still more favorable disposition of the rest of the bonds. Gentlemen we'll acquainted with the character of thesS securities believe they are profitable purchases at ss much as 103, but all the financial world has not had an opportunity to know the value of the bonds

THE WOLFLEY CLAIM.
Judge Sloan Decides That It Is Ter
 ritoria1 Indebtedness.

There is a prospect of the payme nt
 of the Wolfey claim against the terri tory amounting to nearly $S,0OO. All this is the result of decision by Judge Sloan at Prescott on Monday
 in the suit of John A. Black, ass.gnae e., vs. George w. Vickers, territorial au- ditor, praying for mandatory writ directing the auditor to issue a war rant in payment of the claim. The writ was denied, but Judge Sloan de- cided the claim to be valid, finding of really greater value to the appli- cant than the granting of uhe writ would have been, since it iessens, if it does not wholly remove, the likeli- hood of an appeal. The reason given by Judge Sloan for not directing the writ to issue was that it would give this claim a precedence over other claims, though warrants for which had not yet been drawn that ought to pre- cede it. The petition of the assignee
 Burnett, involved much more than the application for the writ. It raised the question of the validity of the claim and anticipated the objection of the territory. In passing upon the va lidity Judge Sloan decided that act 2S of the Eighteenth legislature legal izing this claim, So far as a territorial legislation could legalize it, was with in the authority of the legislature; that though the indebtedness of the territory already then exceeded the limit of the Harrison act, the indebt- edness had been incurred before the limit had been reached. He held fur ther that the congressional act of June 6, 1896, further extending the provisions of the funding act fully covered and protected this claim in the 1egalized form that had been given it. This decision is at variance with

A BIG SEIZURE OF DIAMONDS.
Struggled Stones Valued at S10O, ,OO0

New York, Dec. 1.-The United States authorities have seized $1OO,O0O worth of diamonds found in the estab- lishment of Max J. Lasar, in Maiden Lane, this city, and which are alleged to have been smuggled into this coun- try by woman. Emanuel J. Lasar and his wife, Helen Lasar, have been arrested and they were arraigned be- fore Commissioner Shields today and each held under $5,O0O bail for exam ination.
 Federal officers received informa- tiOn from passenger on a recently arrived steamship which led them to believe that many thousands of dol lars worth of diamonds had been smuggled into this city. Detectives were put to work with the avobe re- suit.

THE PRESIDENTS MOTHER.
His Hurried Return From the Per
 fOrmance of Public Duties.

Canton, O., Dec. 7--Onee more the children of Mrs. Mckinley have gath cred about her couch, made sacred by her tenacious struggle against death. The union is complete. The president arrived before the death angel made his visit. The president knelt by hsr bdside, kissed his mother tenderly. reverently, and as he did so she put her arms about his neck and sign;ied that she knew him.
 She also recognized the presidents wife and extended her hand toward her. It seemed to the friends that she has been awaiting the arrival of her son. Soon afterwards sine lapsed in&o an unconscious state. Dr. Phillips left Mrs. Mckinley at 1 p. Ill. She was at that time entirely unconscious again and resting quietly.

that of Judge Bethune in the same case of Wolfley vs. Leitch and it prac tically directs the han commission to fund the indebtedness.
 The claim had its origin in ,,xpens-s incurred by ex-Governor Wolfey, then governor, in promoting the passage of the original funding act. The matter was brought up in the Eighteenth leg islature, the claim including the ex- penses of ex-Governor Wclfey and interest from the time they were in- cured until the date of the adjourn ment of that legislature, March 22, 1895.
 c. P. Leitch, then territorial auditor, refused to issue a warrant for the amount and suit was brought, as has been explained. The subject was brought before the present board of control couple of months ago. The claim in the meantime had been as signed to John A. Black of Tucson. It is said that before the matter was brought before the board the as- signee had signified a willingness to accept forty per cent of the clam. The board voted to allow the amount of $3,500. It was Tumored at that time or soon after that the territorial auditor would decline Ito issue the warrant for the reason that at that time the validity of the claim had not been established. It was said, too, at that time that the assignee would not accept the amount voted. At any rate, the mandamus suit was filed soon afterward.

ABSENT MERCHANTS.
Deputy United States Marshal Porterie
 Makes More Discoveries,

Pursuing his investigation of al- legged fraud in connection with Chinese certificates, obtained by applicants representing themselves to be mer- chants, Deputy United States Marshal Porterie yesterday made additional discoveries. He visited the store of the Sing Lee company, composed, so Sing Lee said, of the following per sons: The relator, Tom Tea, Yen Yet, Gin Clip and An Sing. Tom Teas stock in the enterprise. was $1,O00 How much the others owned Sing Lea said he did not know, but his own stock was $500. The deputy marshal made a nasty estimate of the m3rchan- disc on hand and thought it was worth not more than $100. When asked where his four partners were Sing Lee said they were visiting in China and would be absent one year. But it happened that two ether .Chinamsn, Ong Charlie ard Ong Tong, now sight seeing in the Celestial Kingdom, ob- tained their certificates representing themselves to be merchants and mem bers of the Sing Lee company. Sing Lee said they had no connection with the company and he had never heard of them.
 From Sing Lees place the officer went to- the. bazaar of the Sing Long company, great many of whose mem bers are shown by the records to be rusticating in China. As in the casa of the Sing Lee company, the only one present was the head of the firm, Sing Long himself
 The officer also sized up the sock and placed it from $75 to $125. Then he inquired about the capitalization
 which Sing sLong said was as follows Quong An Fong, $1 900; Ah Tom, $500 An Los, $500; Ma Puen, $100; Sing Long, $3,000. Sing Longs partne

highest opinion of Judge Days abil- ities and would be willing to give him about any place at his disposal.
 Boss Croker of Tammany Hall not only has an ambition to be a United States senator, but desires to dictate the democratic candidate for the pres idency in 1900. John c. Sheehan will not be the leader of Tammany Hall after it's reorganization in January. This statement was made positive to- day by a man who knows. Croker will go back into the old place as a of New York an organization which will be so perfect that there will ba no chance that it shall miss naming the democratic candidate for the presidency.
 Although the negotiations wilh Can ada in regard to the protection of the seals dropped from the public miud when the Canadian government an nounced that the sealing question must be settled in connection with other matters, if settled at all, this governments interest is keen, and it still hopes to bring Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier and his associates to see the thing in a different light. The correspond ence is not ended.
 A correspondent was assured this morning that the gentlemen who have charge of the negotiations for the United States still hope that an agree ment may be reached with Canada whereby tbs seals may be saved. But the intimation was very plainly made that this government will not barter it's markets nor let down the bars to immigration in exchange for plain, simple justice jl the sealing matter If Canada, in the friendly correspond ence that is still to be held with her, persists in being stubborn, it is said that this government will dispose ot the sealing questi on for good in it's own way.
 It is to be noted that the treasury department is nprw taking an inn portant hand in the seal conference. Secretary Gage, Assistant Secretary Howell and John w. Foster had long conference in the matter this morning, and later MT. Howell went to the sta e department to see Judge Day about it. These conferences, it is said, are being held for the purpose of preparing a reply to Canada's latest note.
 In this reply there will be some plain propositions for the Canadian diplomats to ponder. The entrance of the treasury department officials into the matter is regarded as rather sig nificant

JAPAN AND ANNEXATION.
Its Minister Coming Back to See the
 Matter Through.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Toru Hoshi, the Japanese minister to this country, is now on his way to Washington. and will reach here about December 10. He will bring with him important papers relating to the protest made by Japan last summer against the an- nexation of Hawaii by this country. The secretary of the legation states that it was never his government in- tention to recall the present minister and under no circumstances would he be deprived of his diplomatic post in Washington until the annexation con- troversy, which has been conducted almost exclusively through him, has reached a satisfactory settlement.
 Advices from Japan to the legation indicate that the imperial government will have some energetic protests and exceptions to present to the state de- partment's last answer to the original note of protest. In this answer the administration denied any purpose to abridge the rights of Japanese subjects in Hawaii by annexation.
 Prior to this note Secretary Shsrman had sent two communications in which he handled the protest in a manner regarded by the Japanese government as harsh.

DIVISION OF THE MESSAGE
Prospect of Trouble Over the
 Civil Service System
An Intimation That the PreS'oent W,ll Veto Any Measurs Des Gned to Weaken It-Favorabls Prospect for the Appointed c ,rbett.

Washington, Dec. 7.-The session of the house today, though it lasted but two hours, witnessed a very lively skirmish over the question of distrib- uting the presidents message to the various committees clothed with jur- isdiction over the subjects dealt With. A conflict of authority came between the ways and means committee and the banking and currency committee. The battle ragged all along the line. During the debate General Grosvenor of Ohio fired the first gun against the civil service law and this also brought friends and enemies of the measure into action. MT. Johnson of Indiana in ringing warning declared that if a bill to emasculate the civil service law were passed it would meet a pres idential veto.
 Eventually MT. Dingley, in deference to the opposition of members of the banking and currency committee, agreed to a modification of the order of distribution so as to send to the ways and means committee all ma te-s relating to revenues, the bonded debt of the country and treaties affecting revenues n

Dur ing the session 108 bills, many of which were private pension measures g. were introduced in addition to several joint resolutions and some senate res olutions. An interesting contest for precedence in the consideration of MT. Lodges immigration bill and proposed legislation to confer authority upon the president to act for the protection of the governments interest in ih : sale of the Kansas Pacific was pend ng at the close of the session. There is 1 a probability that it will be amicably arranged before the senate convenes | tomorrow.
 Senator Perkins introduced a joint resolution authorizing the president to appoint a committee to draft a code of laws for the territory of Alaska.
