It is claimed that it costs the vessel $8 for each skin taken, and as skins are quoted at such low figures in the Ixmdon mar ket, the profit is not large enough to take the risk of running counter to the new regulations to govern the operations of the sealers in Northern waters.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. i K yle introduced in the Senate a hill for the establishment of a national uni versity. It was referred to a select com mittee. The Senate resolution requesting the President to suspend action in the con solidation of the land offices until after the passage of the next sundry civil ap propriation hill, offered by Teller, was agreed to. The House Committee on Judiciary lias decided to make a favorable report on the hilt giving Clerks of the Circuit Courts of California and Nevada twice the compensation now allowed and re tain fees to the amount of $7,000. A cablegram received by Secretary Herbert from Admiral Benham at Rio states that lie had transferred his tlag from the San Francisco to the New York. His purpose was to allow the San Fran cisco to go outside the harbor for fresh air. The ships are taking turns at the duty of staying in the harbor, and it is now the New Y ork's t 'v a . den ham ami staff are the only persons in the fleet unable to indulge in the change. The Interstate Commerce Committee of the Senate the other morning heard arguments on liehalf of the proposed amendment to the interstate commerce law to allow railroad pooling, reasonable rates to he fixed by the Interstate Com merce Commission, with the right of appeal to the Federal Court for final ad judication. J. K . Counseltnau of Chi cago, a large grain shipper, made the argument. George B. Blanchard, Com missioner of the Central Traffic Associa tion. ami J. K. Cowen, counsel of the Baltimore and Ohio, were also heard. Hawley introduced a resolution in the Senate that the Secretary of the Interior send to the Senate the most advanced copy of the census office returns relative to manufactures. He explained that the report was far advanced toward com pletion during the incumbency of Super intendent Porter and Secretary Noble, but had been withheld: hut lie thought the information should he in possession of the Senate during the tariff discus sion. On t He suggestion of Cockrell he amended the resolution hv directing the Secretary to state the reasons for the deiav and directing him to submit the latest information in his possession. The resolution as amended was agreed to. Bryan of Nebraska introduce 1 in the House a bill to amend the Revised Stat utes so as to permit in civil cases a ver dict of three-fourths of the jury and such verdict have the same force and ef fect as a unanimous verdict. He said : “ I have favored this change for several years, and my attention was called to it iinew by a suggestion made by Judge Brewer at the Chicago Union League Club banquet last Thursday. In civil cases there is no reason why litigants should tie compelled to fight until one can secure a unanimous verdict. Disa greements are usually caused by one or two members of the jury, and a three- fourths verdict would settle most cases, making a great saving of costs.” It is the purpose of the Senate C >m- m ittee on Foreign Relations to lake op. Morgan’s bill for the ^organization of the Nicaragua Canal Company during the present session. Morgan and Frve are both known to he anxious to pro mote the enterprise. It is understood the President is convinced of the im portance of the canal, and Gresham is also in accord with Morgan on the sub ject.

On January 17 this steamer was released from the libel of the United States, and United States Marshal Grady on the decree of the court directing him to deliver the vessel to J. L. Hartman, receiver of the Northwest Trust and Izian Company, did so, and simultaneously arrested her on a writ of the Kodiak Packing Company. The at torney* for Receiver Hartman claimed that the vessel, being in the hands of a receiver in a State court, was without the jurisdiction of the United States court, and on this ground excepted to the libel of the Kodiak Company. The court dix'ided that the action of the Marshal in turning the vessel over to the loan company and then rearresting her docs not in any way affect the rights of the parties in the matter, and denied the exception to the libel. — S A L I S B U R Y 'S A M E N D M E N T S P A R IS H C O U N C I L S B I L L .

B e r l i n . — In the Reichstag debate on the Russo German commercial treaty was opened. Yon Mirhacii on behalf of tlie Conservatives gave an explanation of the reasons which had decided the party not to eup]iort tlie government, contending the treaty would prove an injury to German husbandry greater than tlie advantages which could possi bly follow its passage. Von Bibiestein declared German manufacturers and merchants secured under the treaty an estimable \x>on. Husbandry profited nothing by tlie present customs tariff, and agrarians should direct their efforts toward influencing federal governments in favor of practical solicitude for Ger man husbandry. Tlie government could not surrender at discretion to the de mands of the agrarians Count von Moltke opposed the treaty in the name of the Imperialists. Rickart urged the adoption of the treaty, saying the en trance of Russia into the F.uropean com mercial community would have impor tant consequences. (H ill SAVE IR E LAN D .
