WASHINGTON DOINGS. . Some Interesting Facts Relating to Alaska. SEALS ARE ABOUT EXTINCT. What Congren* I* Doing—Hill Addreaae* the Senate On Hi* Proposition to Teat the Constitutionality of the Income Tax Aet—The Committee on Banking and Carrency Have Another Meeting. Washington, Jan. 12.—Some interesting facts in regard to Alaskan seal fisheries were stated to the house oomjnittee on territories by Governor Sheakley of Alaska. The governor declares that the seals are practically extinct and will be entirely exterminated within a short time. Although the government anthorize<t the killing of 20,000 last year by the Fur company, they could find but 12,000 fit for the market. He said no less than 30,000 pups had died because their mothers were killed by poachers. Poaching is largely carried on, he said, notwithstanding recent legislation. Temperance people would find a field for their work in Alaska, also, according to the governor, who asserted that while the territory was prohibited by the law it was free whisky in practice. Traders had only to secure a certificate from the commissioner of internal revenue to carry on their business. The liquor trade flourished among the miners and people employed in the canneries, and while Indians were occasionally convicted no white man had ever been punished for selling liquor. The governor recommended the substitution of a license system for the prohibitory law or else authority to enforce the latter. He deprecated the establishment of a territorial government for Alaska but asked that the governor be given.authority to appoint commissioner for the courts in remote settlements and desire improved mail facilities up the Yakon river where the mail is now carried by once a year. IN congress. HillS Intomo Tax Amendment Occupies the T. me In the Senate. Washington. Jan. 12. — Practically the whole of yesterday’s session was occupied in the discussion of Mr. Hill’s amendment to the urgency deficiency bill, designated to afford an opportunity to test the constitutionality of theincome tax law. „ _ Mr. Hill delivered a long and carefully prepared speech in support of his amendment. Mr. Dubois (Ida.) followed in support of the appropriation to make the law operative but soon drifted into a discussion of the silver question, in which he no currency bill conld pass that Avas not liberal toward silver. Mr. Quay (Penn.) supported Mr. Hill’s amendment and said it would be the duty of the next Republican congress to repeal the law. Messrs. Sherman (O.) and Mitchell (Ore.) thought the appropriation should be made. v Yesterday was private bill day in the house, but onlv one bill was considered —a claim of the heirs of William John-' son of Fayette county, Tennessee, for $13,000 worth of stores confiscated during the war. Three hours were consumed in debate, but on account of the opposition the bill was finally withdrawn. \ Before the regular order was demanded nine bills/were passed by unanimous consent. Most of them were of minor importance, the most important was to amend the shipping aet of Aug. 19, 18»)0 so as to eliminate some of the penal provisions that, act which had proved unduly harsh in their application to seamen on board vessels engaged in the coastwise and nearby foreign trade. Another bill was passed to protect the salmon fisheries of Alaska. considering currency measures. Committee on Banking .and Currency Hold a Meeting Todays Washington, Jan. 12. — Chairman Springer called a meeting of the Democratic members of the house committee on banking and burfency for this morning to consider the situation on currency legislation. Mr. Springer said no special line of action will be suggested to the meeting, as it will be for an ex-, change of views-rather than to agree on a course. The substitute currency bill is in the hands of Mr. Carlisle receiving such changes as may overcome objec--tions. It is not expected that the bill will be before the meeting today. Outside of the members of the committee little or no attention is given to the currency question as members consider the case closed for the session. The. feeling is almost unanimous among the Democratic members that the situation is such as to make an extra session certain, but it is equally unanimous that no authorized or authentic statement to that effect had yet been given by Mr. Cleveland. - " < . Still > Deficit. jyashington, Jan. 12.—A treasury statement issued yesterday shows that the expenditures so far this month exceeds the receipts by $6,213,748, which makes tlrn deficiency for the fiscal year to date $33,778,204.
