Upon the other point as to whether

This opinion was in line with the de-

Justice Harlan disseuted from the

NEWS OF THE ARCTIC WHALERs
Possibility That -Four of Them May Yet
Escape the Ice.


San Francisco, Nov. 6.-According to
the news from the Arctic brought by re-
turning whalers. eight vessels are now
held fast in the ice. The steam whalers
Belvidere, Orca, Jessie H. Freeman and
the schooner Rosario are near Point
Barrow, and the steam whalers Newport.
Fearless and Jeannie and the bark Wan
derer are off Return Reef. The latter
four are in the open sea, 800 miles from
provision station. Captain McGregor,
Of the Karluck thinks that when the ice
breaks UP these vessels will be ground 10
pieces.
At Point Barrow the situation is not so
critical. The icebound ships are about
six miles off the point. Lfebes provision
station can aid them. It is yet possible
for a stiff northwest wind to bring these
vessels out of danger. The bark Grey
head, Captain Charles G. Foley, brings
back some sailors who assert that they
were ill-fed and suffered extreme punish
ment at the hands OF the captain and
first mate, Frank Enas. They declare
that they will unite and sue the captain
for damages.
Lieutenant G. NJ. Stoney, U. S. N,
who has had much experience IN the Arc
tic, declares that it is the duty OF the
government 10 at once send a relief ex-
pedition to furnish supplies to the ice
bound whalers.
Eight more Of the lost Navarcins men
have reached this city. One Of them,
John Johnson, was so badly frozen that
his toes had to be amputated.

REVOLUTIONARY REFUGEES.
San Francisco, Nov. S.-General DAN
iel Fuentes. the prime mover in the re-
cent revolution in Guatemala, and COM
.nander OF the insurgent forces, was one
Of the passengers who arrived here to-
day from the south on the steamer City
Of Sidney. When mis- plans failed,
Fuentes and Morales fed 10 Mexico, but
were ordered 10 leave their first hating
place, Tapachula, by President DiaZ,
who feared international complications
if he allowed them to remain upon Mex
lean soil. They therefore went 10 the
City Of Mexico, whence they made their
way to the coast. While conceding that
Barrios, his brother-in-law, is master Of
the situation in Guatemala, Fuentes
says that the feeling of rebellion is still
very strong there, and he expressed the
opinion that the Barrios administration
would not last much longer. The gen.
eral attributed his defeat TO the fact
tina: his force, which was sadly in need
OF proper equipment, only numbered
about 5000, while the government had
at least q, 900 men in the field.

Chicago, Nov. S.-As the result Of a
conflict between National Secretary
James F. McHugh, of the Stonecutter's
union and the heads Of all the central
bodies of Chicago, including the Build
ing Trades council, and the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor and many prominent
local labor leaders, it has been decided
to formulate a demand in the name Of
organized labor that a clause be in
serted in all contracts and sub-contracts
for cut stone work for the new postof-
flee, requiring that the stone be cut in
Chicago. The amount involved will foe
$3.50, 900. 1t is urged that this will
prevent contractors from having the
stone cut by cheap labor and shipped
here in competition with union wages.

FUR SEAL TREATY SIGNED
By Representatives of the United STATE
Russia and Japan.

Washington, Nov. Ga convention be-
tween the United States, Russia and ia
pan, looking to the joint protection Of fur
seals, was signed at the state depart
ment today at 12:15 p. m. It will require
the ratification of the senate to become
effective.
The signing OF the treaty took place in
the large diplomatic room at the state
department and was attended by the
us ual formalities. The delegates of the
various governments assembled at leas.
an hour and a half before the time ap-
poini ed for the formal signature Of the
docul nent, and were met by General F0s-
ter. There were some preliminaries TO
be disl l'osed of before all was ready for
tn sigma lures and the delegates were
obliged I'D leave the department for short
visits to their legations, in order to OBJ
tain seals and certain papers of authori-
cation that were necessary.
Finally at noon all was necessary and,
led by General Foster, the delegates
passed into the diplomatic room and
took their places at the long tables.
There were for the United States Messrs.
Foster, iHamlin and Jordan; for Russia,
De WoTlant, Botkine and Routhowsky;
and for Japan, Charge Matsui Fulfil and
Mitsikurf. Secretary Sherman was not
present as the government was fully rep
resented by its delegation. The creden-
tials OF the parties were read in turn and
after the treaty had been carefully in
spected the signatures were attached.
a clio
Foster, Hamlin and Jordan, and the 9TH
ers were attached in order according to
the particular copy Of the delegates held
by the delegates. Their were three cop
les OF this, one for each nation repre-
sented, and the delegates of each nation
signed their own copy first. The sealing
of the documents was attended to by
Mr.. De Wollant, the charge of the Rus
stan government, and William Gwynne,
the latter being an expert in this line,
having sealed almost every treaty nego-
tiated here since the treaty OF Washing
ton,
With the affixing of the seals in wax
the formalities were concluded and
was an exchange Of congra tulations over
the consummation Of the work.
The text of the treaty will not be
given out until final ratifica&ions are ex-
changed As the document must go to
the senate for its approval. custom re-
quired that it be withheld from publica-
ton in this manner. II is said, however.
by those concerned, that the general
purposes of the treaty have already been
outlined in the press and II is likely that
all further interest that remains in the
document is the exact nature of the addi-
tional restrictions that are to be imposed
upon pelagic sealing.
