These, \Vhet-her Presented, Individually V or In Bulk, ‘Vlll Have to Be Deter- mined Through the Ordinary Diplomatic Channels. -WASIIINGTON, Aug. 19.—The main inter— est officially in the Behring sea decision now centers in the question of damages that this country will be obliged to pay Great Britain for the use of seal hunting subjects who were kept out of Behring sea through the operation of the modus vi— :vendi, or were seized as poachers prior to the agreement. In accordance wit h article“ a of the con- vention for the renewal of the modus vi- vendi the arbitration tribunal must decide how much compensation is due Great Britain from the United States to be used for British subjects for abstaining from the exercise of the right to take seals in Behring sea during the pendency of the arbitration. It' 15 understood that the cOmmissioners of arbitration have already passed on the subject, and when their report has been made public the damages must be paid promptly, according to the agreement in the treaty renewing the modus vivendi. Damages For Seizures. But the main question of damages for seizure made is not in so definable and settled a. condition. Nothing in the arbitra- tion treaty or the convention fo renewal *.of the modus vlvendi makes provision for allowing damages to persons who have been injured through the unlawful seizure of sealing vessels, and it is said at the depart- ment of state that the matter must take the course usually followed in diplomacy. Claims against the United States, either individually or in bulk, will be filed- by the owners of the vessels seized, and the United States will enter into correspond- ence with the government of Great Britain with reference to their settlement. If it is seen that a. settlement can be reached, the matter will proceed through the ordinary diplomatic channels. In the event of failure to come to some basis for settlement without resort to arbitration, and it is predicted that failure will occur, the two governments will agree to leave the question to the judgment of an unprej— udiced tribunal, and to this end a claims c’ommlttee will be appointed. An extraordinaryand unexpected sequel of the controversy is that the lessees of the Pribylov islands, who since the agitation of the questions now decided by arbitra- tion have year by year been restrained by the United States within narrower limits in regard to the number of seals captured, have now been officially advised that the- full amount of their stipulated rental will now be exacted from them by the United States, and that the action of the previous administration in reducing the rental to correspond with the reductions enforced in the catch was illegal. Secretary Corllslo’s Demand. Secretary Carlisle today made an ofi‘lcial' demand on the North American Cor‘nmer— cial company for $289,718.16 for rental and bonus of the Pribylov islands. The amount due by years is stated as follows: For 1890, 3-17, 403; 1891, 3133, 628. 64; 1892, $108, 686. 52. The action of Secretary Car- lisle is based on an opinion ._rendered by Attorney General Olney. In‘his letter to Lloyd Travis of San Francisco, president of the North American Commercial com- pany, Secretary Carlisle says: "The action of my predecessors in milk ing reductions in the rental and bonus which your company agreed to pay to the United States under its contract for the exclusive priviledge of taking fur seals in Alaska was without authority of law.” The original contract was entered into in 1889. It fixed the annual rental at 350, - 000 per year and limited the maximum catch in any one year to 100, 000 seals, which catch could be reduced in the discretion of the secretary of the treasury. In addition tothis rental the government was to re- ceive $9 60 per skin of each seal taken,be sides other provisions as to the care of the natives. The secretaryof the treasury fixed the limit of the catoh‘this yearot 7,500 seals. The next year about 18, 000 were taken, and in 1892 10, 500. ActingOOn an opinion ren- dered by Attorney nersl Miller, Secre- tary Charles Foster, as he had reduced the catch of seals from the original contract of 100. 000, re’ducodthe rent in proportion. This action of Seci-éthry Foster’s is now declared to have been illegal, hence the demand made which, it is understoorl, will be fol- lowed by legal proceedings in case the de- mand is not complied with Sumter Boyd Acquittod.

Dr eased In Feminine Attire, the Swindle:- Lures His Victims. _ Accompanied by Police Constable Irv-. ing and a friend, avgentleman whose ac- cent affo1ded indisputable evidence that he is Of German extraction walked into the detective office last night and there related a most remarkable experience which, he stated, had befallen him. His name is Frank Hohlbein, he is the rep- resentative of a tan bark company, and in the register of the Red Lion hotel he has given his address as Dashwood, Ont. His business has taken him all over this ' country and the adjoining republic, and he has only recently returned from the southern states. ‘ ' His story to the detectives is to the effect that on Saturday evening, having nothing to do, he paid a visit to the muses on Yonge street. When the per- street and was about to return to his hotel when he noticed a very plump, rather handsome young lady, who ap- pears to have had power enough to charm him away from his original' 1n- tention to go home. Neither seems to have objected to the other’s company, and, to make along story short, the two strolled away up the street arm in arm. Hohlbein' Is a. stranger' 1n the city, has no knowledge at all of its geography, and 13 therefore unable to now describe, except in very general terms, the route followed by him and his companion, but it is sufficient to know that at length they reached the outside of a house which the lady informed him was her home. With some hesitation he accepted an in- vitation to enter and was ushered into a room furnished in a very ordinary way and containing, he noticed, a type writer. He was ofiered some ale, but having declined to drink the lady drank some for him. . After some pleasant chatting his com- panion stepped back, and raising her hand lifted off her hat and a wig, and to his intense amazement Hohlbein saw that he was in the presence not of a woman, but of a man. Another twist of the wrist, and the man had removed a jacket, waist and skirt, and there he stood—a young man in ordinary male attire. Hohlbein was at a. loss to account for this very strange metamorphosis and grasped a revolver which- he carried with him, determined to defend himself should the occasion rise. The stranger. however, requested him to be calm and at his ease, as no harm would come to him. He then produced some samples ' of bills, which he handed to Hohlbein. with the roqw '- that the latter express an opinion . what they were. "Gr s!” said Hohlbein. “Rig 1 ~21 are!" said the stranger, and he then and there offered him all he wanted for 25 cents for each dollar’s worth. ' , “How much money have you?” he asked Hohlbein. - The latter produced. his purse and showed his cOmpanion that there was nothing in it but some small change scarcely worth mention- ing. This seemed to exasperate the oc-- cupant of the room, and with rather , strong language he opened a door‘ lead- ing to 'the back yard and promptly evicted his guest. Hohlbein said he ‘Walked a long distance before he could find a street, and when he at last did so he hastened to his hotel. In the morn- ing he related his experience to a friend, and the two interviewed Constable Irv- ing, who went with them to the detective ofiice. The story is such a queer affair that it is difficult to‘come to any conclusion re- garding it.

BOMBAY UNDER GUARD. I I'll: Hindoo Mob Kept In Subjection by a Strong Display of Troops and Cannon. BOMBAY, Aug.19.-This was a Moham- medan prayer day, and there was a gen- ‘eral expectation that further troubles ' would occur between the members of that ‘- sect and the Hindoos. In the early part of the day symptoms began to be plainly manifested that the religious animosity . would again lead to rioting, and the au- thorities, all of whom were alert to discov- or evidence of trouble, at once took steps to prevent an outbreak. It was feared that the Hindoos would at- tack the great J uma N usjeed mos us, and a detachment of artillery was p seed in front of the building. from which direction only an attack could be made with any hope of success. The cannon commanded the main approach to the mosque, and the street could easily have been kept clear had events warranted firing. It was not alone in this direction, how- ever. that tho authorities took measures to repress possible disorder. The other mosques resorted to bythe Mohammedons were equally well guarded by troops, and all the leading ~.t'n oroughfares were. pa- ‘tr'olled by soldiery. The shopkeepers and others in the city were fearful lesti-heir places of business would be loOted, and the shops and markets were not opened until the troops appeared. Bonded Domestfo Whisky.

FE WA8111NG1'ON,Aug. 19. ——As predicted? yesterday the senate committee on finance.- today reported the 1.111 for the repeal of ...} the purchasing clause of the Sherman act of bimeta'llism. The committee was in “ 11111: ' accompanying it by a declaratiOn in favor »._‘ -l' " session only an hour, and the only paint of .1, - contention was over thewording of the bill.rthe committee having reached the conclusion yesterday that they would take the final action today. A bill had been drawn by Senator Voore ‘ bees and was put beme the committee ing in accordance with the suggestions of yesterday. The bill thus comes as an original measure, favorably reported, and will probably be known as the VOorhees bill. The votes by which it was reported are those of Chairman Voorhees and Seno ators McPherson, Merrill, ' Sherman, Al- lison and Aldrich—the last four named being Republican. The senate was presided over today in the absence of the vice president by Mrb Harris (Dem, Tenn. ), president of the sen ate pro tem. ' After the senate opened and routine bus- iness was transacted, a motion to adjourn over till Monday, made on'the Democratic side, was resisted on the ground of the ne- cessity of action on financial measures and finally withdrawn on Mr. Voorhoes' announcing that he would ask the senate to proceed with the consideration or the national bank circulation bill. He then reported from the finance committee a bill to suspend the purchase of silver bullion under the Sherman act, with a declaration in the bill that it is the policy of the United States to continue the 'use of both gold and silver as standard money and to coin both gold and silver into money of equal intrinsic and exchangablo value. The Voorhees Bill. The full text of the bill is as follows, omitting the enacting clauses: That so much of the act approved July 14. 1890, entitled, “An act directing the purchase 1v 3' 1 14131; I,“ OHEE'RS THE Best 11111111111113 ":2; tall 11;; MEN OF .u‘z hr:- ‘ “" 1911‘ k Gde‘ .

And it is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States to continue the use of both aid and silver as standard money and to coin ‘ th gold and silver into money of equal in- trinsic and exchangeable value, such equality to be secured through international agreement ’or by such safeguards of legislation as will in-. sure the maintenance of the parity in value of the coins of the two metals and the equal meter of every dollar at all times in the markets and in the payment of debts. And it is hereby further declared that the efforts of the government should be steadily directed to the establishment of such a safe system of bimetallism as will maintain at all times the equal power of every dollar coined or issued by the United States in the markets and in the payment cf debts. A Substitute Bill. A substitute for the bill was reported from the minority of the committee- Messrs. Harris, Vance, Jones (Ark), Jones (Nev.) and Vest—fixing the num-' ber of grains of 'silver in United States :. coins (464 4-10 grains of pure silver per dol lar and proportionately for minor silver ‘ coins). . The bill and substitute were orderedb‘ printed and placed on the calendar. , 3.311. Senator Voorhees did not, as he hadsonigé # inally intended, ask the senate to fix a day for the vote on the bill. He said tv-ho did not think a vote would be 1.113 ’on.it for some time, as there up to be a disposition on the part of senators to debate the measure for an definite time.- He gave notice that he would call the bill up next Tuesday at” which time he will make a speech“ the financial question generally. , Along communication from the score. tary of the treasury was presentedand z; ‘ read on the subject of gold and silver p8??? ments. It is therein stated that on several occasions recently gold coin has been pre- sented at the treasury in exchange for all- ver dollars, and that the exchange has not , been made because silver dollars were re- quired to be held in the treasury to cover outstanding silver certificates and treas- ury notes, and that at present the depart- ment would net and could not exchange silver dollars for gold if requested to do to. The senate then took up and considered the bill to allow national banks to increase- their circulation. Mr. Allen (Pop, Neb) argued in favor of his amendment to suspend the payment of ' , interest on the bonds on which the in. creased issue is based.‘ In the House.
