Secbetaby o the treasury "Windom has decided to refuse a renewal of the lease to the Alaska Commercial com pany, which since 1870 has had a mo nopoly of Alaska seal iishing to the exclusion of all other seal hunters. Secretary Windom has decided to throw the privilege open to general competition, and will advertise for bids and propositions for letting the lease? to the highest bidder or any company which will give the largest sum and guarantee to the government. Bv an act of the last congress the secretary was authorized to renew the 2ease of the old company or to give the privilege to whom he pleased. The matter has been given careful consideration by the secretary, and his advisers for two weeks, to the almost total exclusion of other mat ters. Solicitors Hepburn and attorney-General Miller were asked for legal opinions, and decided that un der the act of congress the secretary had full power to renew the old lease without new bids and could use his own judgment Advertisements will be issued for publication in a few days, when the form of contract has been fully de cided upon . It will, undoubtedly, be like that under which the Alaska com pany lias been working since 1870. The new contractors will be required to furnish the natives employed in the fisheries with all materials for curing their winter supply of meat and to give forty tons of J coal to each village on the islands of St Paul and St. George. The company must main tain schools for the Indian children on these two islands, and must kill only a certain number of seals each year. While the treasury department has been considering this view of the mat far, thesecretary of state has been at work, hoping fo make a pacific ar rangement with the English foreign affairs office to give the bidders a feel ing of security and warrant that their rights will bo protected. Belii's telephone monopoly is con fronted with two dangerous enemies. Gray's telautograph is one of these and Bssick's type-writing telegraph the other. Gray's device transmits writing perfectly, and properly ap plied would take the place of the tele phone, having the additional advant age of greater secrecy. The other de vice is notso well known The sys tem has been in operation between Chicago and New Torkfor some time, using one of the Postal Telegraph company's wires. Its use in short circuits was proven practical some time ago but kept secret Bobbed of technicalities, the system is simply one by which a type-writer at one end of the line is made to transmit currents of varying intensity which operate a type-writer at the other end. A CASE Eff POINT. la our forefathers' days, pimples wero at tributed to diseased blood. But modern modicine lias demonstrated that rich food does not create eruptions by fouling tho blood, but retards digestion, which makes the fitomach torpid, and the circulation sluggish, and in turn causes au enfeebled action of the pores which congest or become pimply. The modern theory therefore is not to treat the blood, but the stomach and liver, and it is under this new idea, that Joy's Vege table Sarsaparilla was conceived. It is wip ing the old " blood disease " -idea out of ex istence. A case in peint: " I have had for years spells of indigestion and dyspepsia and tried nearly everything Finally I took one of the leading sarsaparillas. It caused pim ples to break out ou my face, which I vras told was caused by the potash. Hcariug that Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla did not con tain mineral, I sent for it Tho pimples dis appeared aud I haTO had no return of the pld spells. II is a euro for indigestion and iyspepsia and the attendant face eruptions." Sins. C. D. STCiltT, 1221 3Iissiou street. S. F. A new cotton mill to cost $500,000, will be built at Dennison, Texas.
