EHE OMAHA DAILY BEHJ : SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 11 , ISW.-TWELTE PAGES. ALASKA DEALS. Value and Importnnco to the Com- morolnl World or the FUhorlci. WASHINGTON , Sept. 10 The annual re port of George H. Tingle , treasury og nt in harge of the Alaskan seal Islands , has been Deceived t the treasury department. The agent says that the time has come when the lessees of the Islands should be authorized to Employ additional natives nnd teach them the buslneas of floating , as death hns played sad liavoc-wltli the native sealers of the Islands. triio s > stem of payment to the natives Is criticised for Its bad olTcct upon them , and It Is held that U would bo but simple justice to allow the natives of Oonalaska to bo cmplotcd nnd paid on the name tooting with the natives of bt I'aul Is land. The mortality nmonc tlio natives of Bt. I'aul la said to have been very large , while It Is a remarkable fact tlmt not a single death from disease had occurred nmong the white Inhabitants since the transfer of Alaska to the United States. From measurements made by Assistant Atrent Noyes It appears that the urand total of breeding seals on St. I'aul and St. Oeorco Island last spring was fvOT.T.OO , but In transmitting this statement Mr.Tlnglo adds thatln his ludgment , adeduc- tlon ot ono fourth would bring the number Closer to tlio truth. While on two rookeries there Is some falling oil , it Is certain that tills vast number of animals Is still on the In crease. Mr. Tingle says : "The department can not plare too high an estimate on the value of this seal property , and the govern ment , 1 am sure , wlll'not yield to any demands which would make U possible to the destruction of heal rookeries and seal life , which , under judicious management and protected by law , may be perpetuated Indefi nitely. " A largo part of the report Is devoted to a his tory of the seizure of marauding vessels by revenue cutters , which has already been brlnlly reported by telegraph. The agent says that after the departure of the revenue cutter last fall largo numbers of s > ial were taken by British marauders and the skins sold In Vic toria. Ono vessel sent her boats to the rooker ies , but they were tired upon by the natives , under orders ot the assistant agent and two men wounded. This fact be came known generally among the ma rauders , nnd served to keep them nt a Rafo distance from the rookeries. Up to the 1st ot Anicust , four schooners had been seen operating around St. Paul Island this season. Ono of these vessels , the Ancel Dolly , of San Francisco , was neUed by the agent , who boarded her , with the help of thn Alaska Commercial company's steamer , St Paul. The vessel was In distress , as the captain had been accldently shot and ono man wounded whllo leaving Otter Island , where they had been killing seal. This made the seventh capture this season , the revenue cutter Itush , havlnp previously taken six , Which were sent to Sltka for trial. They were the American srlioonor , Challenge , with 151 skins : the British schooners , Anna Beck , a'15 skins ; W. 11. Sawver , 479 skins ; Dolphin , COO skins : Grace , 76 skins , and the American schooner , Lottie L. . 197 aklus. Mr. Tlnglo says that Captain Sheppard , of the Uusb. has been Indefatigable In his ef forts to protect seal life , and would no doubt culd at least six more to the list pf his captives before he leaves the waters. The agent suggests the advisability of pro viding n small steam yacht armed with a rifled cannon , as schooners were killing seals } n plain view of St Paul Island , whllo the lush was piotectlng St. George Island. It Is eald that Su.OOO skins would be a low estimate of those taken this season by marauders , and po adds that.tlie significance of these figures Will bo understood when the fact Is berne in Inind that only one In ten seals Is secured. In a supplemental report , dated San Fran cisco , August 10 , the agent says that on tbo 15th of August the American schooner Anna , with 3bO skins , was brought Into port having boon seized by the Rush. She reported the eelrure of the British schooners Mary Ellen , gOSsKlns , and Alfred Adams , 1.400 skins. Uho cutter also captured 400 skins landed on an Island by the British schooner Lottie Ear- field In Bohrlng sea , making a total of 5 , ; 0 eklns seized during the season. The number of seals killed during the year by the lessee vras 104,833 , and the number of skins accepted as good was 100,000. CA.RDINA.Ii GIBBONS' POSITION. * Ho Denies All Intention of Doing an r Injiistico to Dr. McGlynn. BAi/riMortE , Md. , Sept 10.

It may be added that Cardinal Gibbons was In no way authorized to act as an Intermediate between Dr. Mo Glynn and hla archbishop , and therefore scrupulously avoided Interfering In a mat ter In which he had no direct concern , anc his visit to Rome had In view a different put' ' pose. pose.Whllo the cardinal , In common with thi prelates of tlio country , was anxious , In thi Interest of education and religion , to see i university established In this country , he hai abstained from giving his vote in favor o any particular location.

The Motor Company Ptuhoi Its tilno Down Douglas Street. Promptly at the striking of the hour of midnight last night a force of more than one hundred workmen with axes and picks began to tear up the pavement on Douglas street from Fourteenth to Twelfth streets. The unusual bustle at tracted a good many people to the scene , and the general impression that prevailed was that the motor company was stealing a march on the properly owners and merchants of Douglas street. This destruction of the only intact pave ment in the city was contemplated with amazement , and little or no credence was given to the assertion of the laborers that the work was simply being carried on nt night to avoid Interfering with the tratllc of the street during the day. It was evident that the Sabbath was being availed of at an early hour to fore stall an anticipated injunction from some source , . The chief of police was apprised of the a ( lair , but did not seem to be at all concerned , nor did ho offer to in any way prevent the clandestine movement. The city will nwako this morning to find the asphalt on Douglas street from Fourteenth to Twelfth torn in a furrow soventcen feet wide as though the thoroughfare had been struck by a sijr- horse hillside plow. DOCTOH MKTtCER PACEU THE "WALK from the Millard corner to Twelfth street forward and back , as the work progressed , chewing the dwindling butt of a tolerable cigar and seriously con templating the threatening sky. "Doyou think it will rain ! ! " was his anxious inquiry returned to the reporter's first question. The reporter hardly thought so and then again was afraid it might , but evad ing the point , again thrust at the main issue with , "Well , doctor , what arc you doing hero ? " "Doing ? Why availing myself of n lawful prerogative , " and the doctor re peated the history of the two special elec tions , the action of the council , etc. . by which the Omaha Motor Street Kailway company secured its franchise. "But why do you start to work in the dead of night ? " "O , thans plain enough. You see wo started yesterday two weeks ago to make the turn into Douglas otf of'Fourteenth as you can sco outlined. Wo stopped the work their , however , at the personal solicitation of Mr. Balcomb , who pointed out the necessity of keeping the streets clear during fair week. Well , fair week is over and hero we are at it as fast as possible , and at a time least cal culated to inconvenience the pub lic. O , yes , certainly , our consideration , as I say , for the convenience of the pub lic solely prompts this night work. Afraid of an injunction ? What stuff ! Who's got the right to enjoin us ? We're all right ; the work will bo pushed to a speedy finish. The tracks will bo down by Monday nnd the pavement made whole by Saturday next. Expensive en terprise , this putting a road through town ; it's going to cost us just $31,000 to repair pavements behind us. " THE PRIZK WINNERS. IIow the Musioal Union Rand Carried Ofrthe Li.iurcls.

Just bcforo Sherman advanced on his Georgia campaign a man supposed to bo a rebel spy was ono day arrested In a union camp. Ho was in federal uniform , but his look and language were unmis takably southern , lie claimed to belong to n regiment in another camp about two miles away and ho was sent to the guard liouso until his assertion could bo veri fied or disproved. I was olllccr of the day at the camp thut day , and that is how 1 came to learn so many of the particulars of the affair I am relating. It was in the camp of a Wisconsin regiment that the spy , who gave his naino us George Swift , was arrested. Ho had come there osten sibly to visit friends , but some of the boys had seen him slyly taking notes , and ho had asked sucli questions as no private federal soldier would have any use for. It was pretty generally under stood that the confederates were using every exertion to secure knowledge ot Sherman's strength and movements , and the boys had no sooner got the idea that the stranger was a i spy then they gave Information to uvo , and I put him under arrest. I saw at a glance that ho was of southern birth. This was not so much against him , for at that time wo had plenty of Tennessee and Kentucky men with us. "What command do you belong to ? " I asked. "Tho th Illinois. " ho replied. I asked woat brigade and division , who was the captain and various other things , and ho returned what Hcomed to DO straight answers to every question. When I asked who ho had como to visit In the Wisconsin regiment he was lamo. He mentioned the name of a man no one had ever heard of. It was on this point alone that I held him. A raossougor was at ouco sent after the Illinois captain named , nnd in about an hour he up- penrod. The supposed spy was taken to tlio tent of the grigado general , and as noon as brought face to face with the cap tain ho saluted and said : "Captain Morton , the pcoplo hero seem to think I am a robot spy. " "And who are you I" queried the cap tain , plainly astonished. "Do you ask that ? " reproachfully in quired the man. "Who should 1 bo but George Swift of your own corapanj ? " "You can't. I noyer saw you bcforo In m life" " \Yhy , Captain Morton ! " The two men looked at each other as if doubting their own senses , and the general - oral asked of Swift : "How long have you boon with his company ? " "iour months , sir. I came down as a recruit from Pekin. " "Who is your orderly sergeant ? " "Sergeant White , sir. " "Who arc your commissioned officers ? " "Captain Morton , First Lieutenant Greo and Lieutenant Davis. The latter is home on furlough. " "How many men in the company ? " "Fifty-eight , sir. " "Whoare your tent mates ? " "Oscar Jackson , Thomas Parker , and John Pridgeon. " "Well , captain ? " queried the general , as he turned to Captain Morton. The captain was clean beat. lie was dead sure that no such man belonged to his company , and yet the suspect had answered cvcryqucstiou as straight as a string. "I'll stake my life that I never saw this man before , " the captain finally an swered , "and I know every man in my company by name. " The spy was ordered to strip to his shirt , and for the first time his coolness seemed to desert him. Ho reproached the captain for permitting this indignity , but slowly disrobed. In ono of his boot legs was a pocket , and in this pocket wo found a paper bearing figures as fol lows ; A..Id. . . . 27 I. . . " . . . .8.000 C l.COO There were four of five sets of these memoranda , running from ono to " 4d. " When asked to explain the meaning of them , ho said they were some old exam pics in algebra ho had been working out with the boys. In n few niinutos hu was satisfied thnt the paper read : "Artillery In first division twenty-seven pieces. " The " 1" stood for Infantry , and the " 0" for o.ivnlry. Wo wore satisfied , nnd yet wo were not , for M soon as wo nuulo It out the way I have given it to you , Swift said : "General Captain Morton dooa not eocni to bo n good hand to remember fact's. Will you plcnso send for the or derly Borgcnnt and my tent mates ? If I can't show by thmnlhntl have been with company (5 for four months you cm : or der mo hung as a spy. " The cool proposition startled the gen oral. Had wo discovered the paper m the man's pocket instead of his boots ho would have boon allowed to walk off. That discovery looked suspicions , and hu was ordered back to the guard house and Iho persona sent for. Two hour * later ho was confronted with the orderly sor- gbant. "Sorircant. do you know this man ? " askc'd the general. "No , sir. " "Isn't ho a member of youv com * pany ? " "No , sir. " > "You nro dead sure of this ? " - "I am , sir. " Swift actually grinned as If it wcro a good joke , and said : "Perhaps I have changed skins with somebody since I camu out of camp Ihis morning. Sergeant White , your given nnmo Is Thomas. You came from Chi- rago. You have boon twice wounded , Your fathur was down to sec you last week. You got love letters from your girl in Galosbtirg. You nro thirty-two years old. You have a brother liunnlo , company E. Hoar mo call the roll of our company : Albright , Allison , Andrown , Arkwright , Bomont , Boomer , Bostwick , Carter , Corliss , Collins , Costigan , Curn mcrford " And the man rattled off forty or fifty names as fast as ho could speak , nnd ho got them nil correct , too. The scrgannt looked from his captain to the prisoner , and then pinched himself to sco it ho was awake or asleep. "I I never saw him before"hofinnfly stammered , "but ho must belong to the company. " "Ics , ho certainly must , " added the captain. . "Well , take him baclc to camp witli you , Borgenut , " observed the general , "Hold on , though , didn't wo send for his tent mates ? " "Well , we'll see if they recognize him. " Toe three men were brought in , an in side of live minutes Swiftli was a doomed man. Ho had came into camp four or live < lays previous , claiming to bo looking for a friend , nnd had bribed the bovs to let him in the tent. Ho made his excur sions through the divisions from this point. Ho must have been a man with n wonderful memory , and ho had gained oceans of information without Beaming to pump anybody. Ho Uind to brave it out against the three men , but other members of the company were sent for , and his nurvo at last gave way. A court martial was convened , nnd four days after his capture Swift was hung. While he died game and would admit nothing , it was satisfactorily settled that he came frym Johnson's army , nnd that ho was ole in the business. I was at the foot of the gallows as ho mounted It , nnd when the noose was put over his head I heard him say : " ( lontlcmen , it's n d d fine morning to start on such a journey as mine !
