Passing of the Sealskin.
Yet a few years and the sealskin
cloak will bo a thing- of the past for all
save the wives of millionaires. The
returns from the last sealing season
nro now complete, and if there is btill
anyone who doubts the utter failure
of the Paris tribunal to prevent the ex
tinction of the seals let bim rend the
figures and hold his speech. In place
of the annual catch of 100,000 "bach
elor" seals taken by the government
lessee for a quarter of a century from
the Pribyloff islands the company has
this year with difficulty secured the
15,000 seals necessary to provide sub
sistence to the natives of the islands.
The total catch of the American seal
ing fleet was 17,703 skins, and adding
this to the take of the Canadian and
Japanese fleets we have a total north
west coast catch of 90,000 skins, against
125,000 last year. The diminished
catch of 17,520 skins taken by the Rus
sians on the Copper islands completed
the world's stock of sealskins.
SHIPMENTS of oil from Philadelphia
last year exceeded the expots in 1894 by
probably 0,000,0000 gallons. During
the financial depression last spring,
when the price of oil advanced rapidly,
the foreign shipments fell off largely,
and it seemed likely that the business
of the year would show a decline. Hut
with the revival of trade, the decline in
the price of oil and the depletion of
btocks abroad the foreign trade has re
vived, and shipments have been heavy
in the last six months. Up to the end
of Inst week the exports for the year
amounted to 319,183,795 gallons, and
for last week the shipments were 7,353,-
4GI galons. There is likely to be a still
further increase before tlio end of the
year, as a large lleet of vessels is in
Philadelphia under contract to load oil.
A prominent family residing in the
business part of Wnyneport, Monroe
county, Pa., possesses a dog which,
having reached old age, they decided to
put an end to. They procured a quan
tity of chloroform and the wife pro
ceeded to administer it. The handker
chief saturated with the fluid was held
to or near the dog's nostrils, but tlie
applicant, watching closely to hear the
dog draw his last breath, inhaled the
chloroform in much larger quantities
than the dog, and promptly went oif
into an afternoon nap, which was
awakened by the dog's quite lively
voice. The dog still lives, and the
family has decided to let him die a nat
ural death.
SCIIOMBURGK, whose lino has made
him famous in two continents, once
lived in the United States and worked
as a clerk in Boston and Philadelphia
and afterwards engaged in the tobac
co business in Richmond. Probably
r.o one dreamed at that time that he
would set the world on fire or get two
nations by the ears. It was after sev
eral years of unsuccessful work that
lie drifted to the West Indies and then
to South America, where he made some
botanical discoveries that attracted the
attention of the British government.
He was commissioned to suggest a
boundary line between Venezuela and
Guiana, and was knighted for his serv
ices.

Dearnenn Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un
less the inflamation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrah, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Rend for circulars, free.

Coinage—One Vacancy Still Exists.
Washington, Jan. 28. —The United
States senate now consists of eighty
nine members, the swearing in yester
day of the two new Utah seuators
swelling the list to that number and
there is still one vacancy, that from
Delaware. Both of the Utah members
are classed us republicans and as favor
ing free coinage. Lots were drawn to
decide which was to till the long term,
closing March 3, 1899, and which was

The joint resolution reported from the
committee on agriculture directing the
secretary of agriculture to comply with
the law requiring the purchase and dis
tribution of seeds was debated in the
senate. Mr. llausbrough, rep., N. D.,
arguing in favor of it, and Mr. George,
dem., Miss., against it. No action was
taken, and then the house bond bill
with the free coinage substitute, was
laid before the senate as unfinished
business. Two speeches were made
on the bill—one against free coinage
by Mr. Nelson, rep,, Minn,, and one in
favor of bimetalism and free coinage
by Mr. Bacon, dem., Ga. The bill went
over without action, Mr. Lodge, rep.,
Mass., giving notice of an amendment
for the issue of 100 millions of 3 per
cent, bonds for coast defenses. In the
opening prayer the senate chaplain
made an impassioned invocation in be
half of the people of Armenia, praying
that the powers and people of Christen
dom may be aroused and united to
force the sultan to "sheathe his bloody
sword and to stay the frenzied rage
and cruelty of his fanatical soldiery
and subjects."
House of Representatives.
House yesterday discussed for four
hours aud passed, by a vote of 143 to
2G, the senate concurrent resolution
declaring it to be an imperative duty,
in the interest of humanity, to express
the earnest hopo that the European
concert brought about by the Berlin
treaty may be speedily given its just
effect In such decisive measures as shall
stay the hand of fanaticism and law
less violence, and as shall secure to the
unoffending Christians of the Turkish
empire all the rights belonging to
them as men and Christians and as
beneficiaries of the explicit provisions
of that treaty; requesting the presi
dent to communicate these resolutions
to the five signatory powers thereof,
and declaring that congress will sup
port the president in the most vigorous
action he may take for the protection
and security of American citizens in
Turkey, and to obtain redress for in
juries committed upon the persons and
property of such citizens. Various
amendments were offered to the reso
lution, on the ground that it did notgo
far enough—one by Mr. Hepburn,
rep., lowa, calling for the dismissal of
diplomatic relations with Turkey, but
they were ull rejected. Messrs. Tur
ner, dcm., Ga.; Grosvenor, rep., Ohio;
Walsh, dem., N. Y.; Adnrns, rep., I'a.;
Johnson, rep., Cal., and Bailey, dem.,
Texas, argued against the resolution.
The diplomatic and consular appropri
ations for the coming fiscal year were

Engaged in a Filibustering Ex
pedition and Has Garcia Abroad
with Arms and Ammunition and
Men for the Cuban Insurgents.
Washington, Jan. 28.—Acting Secre
tary Wike has instructed collectors of
customs to look out for the steamer J.
W. Hawkins alleged to have left New
York last Friday on a filibustering ex
pedition to Cuba. Senor de Lome, the
Spanish minister, says Calixto Garcia is
aboard the Hawkins with arms and
ammunition and men and that the
steamer will take on more men and
stores at Raima Beach, Fla.; that she
will pass in United States waters near
Key West; that the arms confiscated at
Cedar Keys, Fla., are in readiness to be
put aboard the Hawkins and that the
famous steamer Commodore at Wil
mington, N. C., forms part of the con
spiracy. Orders have been sent to the
revenue cutters Morrill, McLone and
Colfax to proceed to sea and if possible

now entertained that it is to intercept
if possible this expedition that the
cruisers Kaleigli and Montgomery have
been ordered to sea.

LIVE QUESTIONS
IN THE
FREE LAN II TRIBUNE.
Commencing with Monday,
February 10,189G, and continu
ing through the year, the TRI
BUNE proposes to publish a
series of able articles upon
subjects of vital and general V
interest to our readers. Emi
nent thinkers and writers of
national reputation on Social,
Economic and Industrial Prob
lems have promised contribu
tions upon topics of universal
interest. The list of authors,
and the comprehensive group
of "Live Questions" that will
be treated by them, can be
seen on this page, and will, we
confidently believe, merit the
hearty interest of readers who
are already interested in these
themes, and are anxious to
receive the most rational opin
ions obtainable.
All articles will be prepared
in an inquiring and scientific
spirit, ana will be non-sectional
and non-partisan. Vigor and
simplicity of statement will be
aimed at, and all phases of re
form thought will be fairly and
impartially presented. Upon
subjects about which there is a *•<
variety of candid opinions, all
sides will receive an equal op
portunity to be heard, that the
truth may, if possible, be ar
rived at.
This is the first co-operative
attempt upon the part of able
writers to thoroughly discuss
all the interesting phases of
social and industrial life for
the masses who would be the
beneficiaries of substantial re
forms, and the arrangements
made by the TRIBUNE give us
thesole privilege of publishing
the articles in this town. They
can be read in no other Free
land paper, and those of our
readers who are not subscribers
should have their names placed
on the list without delay.
