The Hotel Empire fills it. It is equal in equipment, accessibility, cuisine and service to the most expen- sive hotels of the world, and its rates are less than those charged by the ordinary hotel. It is delightfully situated at the intersection of the Grand Boulevard, Columbus avenue and 63d street, and fronts on Empire Park. It is noted for the excellence of its cuisine and service, its homelike and beautiful appointments, its delightful music, and its moderate rates. It is the winter home of many of the best families of the Metropolis, and enjoys the patronage of travelers and tourists of the best class from all parts of the world. All points in the city can be reached more éasily and in less time from the Hotel Empire than from any of the down town hotels. The Broadway cable, the Sixth, Seventh and Ninth Avenue, the Am- sterdam Avenue and the Boulevard and Forty-second surface cars pass its entrance. The stations of the Sixth and Ninth Avenue “L” Roads are only one minute’s walk from its doors. The Belt Line cars only one block away. W. JOHNSON QUINN, Proprietor. del4-1m POTOMAC RIVER BOAT!

The Berlin correspondent of the London Daily Mail says he hears that Great Britain agrees not to oppose Germany's occupation of Kiao-Chau in return for Germany's promise not to interfere in the Egyptian question. According to a dispatch from Shanghai to the same paper the Germans are ex- tending the area of occupation at Kiao- Chau and now control 400 square miles. They have arranged a German administr: tion and are already collecting duties. The Tsung-li-Yamen, says the dispatch, has appointed a prince to negotiate a set- tlement with the Germans. Negotiating Reciprocity. The negotiations of reciprocity arrange- ments aud treaties under the terms of the tariff act are going on at the State De- partment, under the direction of Szecial Ccmmissioner Kasson, with as much speed as the delicate and complicated nature cf the subjects treated warrant. The initial steps have been taken for ar- rangements with a number of countries, but none of them has as yet been com- pleted. The French negotiations have come to a stop for the time being owing to the change in the embassy here. It Is expected that when M. Cambon, the new French am- bassador, appears in Washington he will be prepared-to go ahead with the nego- tlations without delay. e+ Considering Snow Locomotives. The plan of usirg steam snow locomo- tives to open and maintain communica- tion between the outside world and the Klondike country bas not been abandoned by any means. Secretary Alger has con- sulted representatives of a company which has already made ten of these unique lo- comotives, and the Secretary, who is in- tensely solicitous to extend aid to the miners who are supposed to be suffering from lack of food, authorized them to proceed to ship the machines to Alaska and make the effort to get through to the interior, The plan is to use either the Chilkat Pass and the Dalton Trail or White Pass, with preference to the for- mer route. —————- e+_ —___ Tea Experts Appointed. The Secretary of the Treasury has re- appointed all of the members of the board of tea experts established under the act of March 2, 1897. The members of the board are Thomas A. Philan and W. P. Roome of New York, A. P. Irwin of Phil- adelphia, H. G. Woodworth of Boston, A. P. Upham and E. A. Schoyer of Chicago and Mansfield Lovell of San Francisco. In the-course of his letter notifying the members of their reappointment Secretary Gage says: “It is sufficient to say that entire satisfaction with your work has been expressed in all parts of the coun- try, and that the grede and quality of teas offered for sale in this country has been steadily improving under the effects of the rules established on the recommenda- tion of your board.” —_—-e-_____ Bonds for Letter Carriers. After the Ist of April next letter car- riers will be required to furnish the bond of surety companies in bonding for the faithful performance of their duties. This is the result of an order issued by Post- master General Gary, made necessary by the fact that where individual bonds are furnished and the bondsmen die the bonds are often found worthless. The new 5) tem is believed to be more businesslike. ——o-—_____ Kossuth Wants Separation. A dispatch to the New York Herald from Budapest says: Herr Francis - Kossuth, leader of the party advocating the inde- pendence of Hungary, has declared, in the as a lever to obtain political independence. “We tea he said, “a separate. army gary would be Emperor of Austria as a sort of supplementary Vienna time Austria will become a of provinces attached to Hungary.” occupation. is already a suburb of Budapest, and in | her conglomeration TO KILL THE SEALS Representative Johnson's Bill Strongly Op- posed by the Scientists, Prof. Jordan Says It Would Not Ace compl the Desired End—The Question Would Be Revived. The bill which Representative Johnson of North Dakota proposes to introduce in the House providing for the complete ex- termination of the seal herd of Bering sea does not meet with favor among the scient- ists who have made a special study of the question of seal life. Prof. David Starr Jor- Gan, president of Stanford University, who is undouttecly the highest authority in the United States on the scientific aspects of j the seal question, is strong in his oppost- tion to such a policy as is embodied in Mr. Jonnson’s bill. As is well known, he was sclected by the President to make a special study of seal life, and he spent several months of this summer and last summer iu the Bering sea prosecuting his research- es. In a preliminary report to the Tre vry Department giving the result of his most recent investigations he makes the fol- lowing pointed remarks on the subject of the proposed slaughter cf the seals: “Within the past two y times been proposed that we the fur sealequestion onc: rs it has several ttle the for staughter of the entire herd on its bre all by ing grounds. It is scarcely necessary to Point out that this course of action would not accomplish the desired end. As the animals are never all present at one time en the islands a remnant would be left which in tine would revive the herd vith it the whole question. In the me time, every objection which has | urged against pelagic sealing would be justly chargeable against such a slaughter It would be necessary to lie in wait for the giavid feraales and kill them as they came cn land to give birth to their young or to provide them with nourishment. The young must be slaughtered wantonly or clse left to starve. The whole proposition is an abominable one without a single redeeming feature. “The fur seal is the nob the riammals of the sea. From the naturalist’s pcint of view it is one of the most in esting forms of life on the earth. From the ecmmercial pcint of view it is one of the most valuable. Unlike the buffalo, the the stag and like animals it occupie ritory that cannot be used for a pirpose. Where the former animals once reamed great cities have grown up, but the haunts of the fur seal would be desert- ea for all time if their inhabitants were destroyed. “Though sadly reduced in numbers, a nu- cieus of the fur seal herd is still left. Un- der favorable conditions it can be restored. The Pribilof herd once yielded 100,000 skins annualiy, worth $2,000,000 or more, and without injury to itself. This would repre- sent a cash value of $25,000,400. If properly protected it will again reach this value These figures represent a sum too great to be thrown away in childish spite. To slaugh- ter the fur Scal herd ourselves because its preservation is beset with diplomatic ficulties, in which the fault has not all } on one side, would be a confession of im- potence unworthy of a civilized nation. It would transfer to the United States alone end for all time the odium for the destruc- ticn of the fur seal herds.” a AN INTERESTING Claim of a Treasury Employe to 1 creased Compensation, Controller Tracewell of the treasury has approved an important decision of the auditor of the treasury in a question which has never been brought up before. Walker P. Ramsey of the coast and geodetic survey claimed that he should have been paid at the rate of $2,200 per an- num instead of $1,800, and cited the sun- dry civil act of August 18, 184, where a certain salary is set apart for his position. He contends that he should have received $332.60 on salary from September 1, 184, to June 30, 1895. A reading of the same act discloses that the appropriation for office force was fixed not to exceed $135,000, al- though the act designated salaries which aggregated $142,00. The Secretary conse- quently reduced the salary of complainant with others in order to keep within the appropriation. “But the claimant alleges that he is en- DECISION. titled to payment at the rate of 200 per annum, since the aggregate of salaries actually paid to said office force to June 30, or $4,863.23 short In substance, he 1895, was only $130,131 of the prescribed limit. urges that the phraseology, ‘so as to make the whole of said compensation equal to the sum of $135,000,’ made it the imperative duty of the Secretary to see to it that an exact mathematical equation should be worked out at the close of the fiscal year between the maximum limit of authorized expenditures, $135,000, and the amount of ‘Such a construction of the statute to be a violent assumption with respect to the intention of Congress and the business discretion of the Secretary of the Treas- ury.” The claim is rejected. ——_—_-2—_<__ RAILWAY COMPANY SUED. Columbia dd Maryinnd Made De- fendant in Local Court. Suit was instituted in the Supreme Court of the District late yesterday afternoon by the Fourth Street National Bank of Phila- delphia, through President Sidney T. Tyler, against the Columbia and Maryland Rail- way Company on two notes, alleged to have been given by the Columbia and Maryland company for $10,000 each to secure money claimed to have been loaned by the bank. ‘The notes, it is stated, bear date of De- cember 31 last, and were to run six months. Attorney Jesse Wilson represents the com- plainant, and after the papers had been filed an attachment was placed in the hands of the marshal to be served on the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home road, the latter having recently passed into the con- trol of the owners of the Columbia and Maryland road. The attachment is intend- ed to operate only as a lien upon the prop- erty. —_> CENTRAL LABOR UNION, Proceedings of Weekly Meeting Hel Last Evening. ‘The regular weekly meeting of the Cen- tral Labor Union was held last* evening, President Milford Spohn presiding and Mr. J. J. Crowley serving as secretary.
