TRANSMISSISSIPPI CONGRESS OPENS resident Outlines Oolrrt tad I'r.ea " Closer Relation frith Other Con ressee Worklac for h West. ST. PAUL, Minn.. Aug. !. Serloue charge against Governor Brady of Alaska were .made In the Transmlssltsippl con gress tonight by Donald Fletcher of Seat tl, who asserted that the governor was the exponent of a poller of oppression and repfesilon' and the active agent of the great commercial companies In delaying elf-government while they, "gobbled i.up the best of a magnificent country." He took Issue with Governor Brady's recommendations In his last report to con gress for the full extension of the land law to Alaska, asserting that the recom mendation bad an' ulterior purpose a'nd waa In the interest of the powerful ele ments dominating the progress of the ter ritory. Their application, he charged would be Interminably delayed by quibbling and filibustering In congress. "Then would follow years of waiting and'waltlng," con tinued the speaker, "while his bosses would go on gobbling up the best of that magnlflcont country, worth many timet the entire national debt. And that is part of the game." He also asserted that Governor Brady had been consistently an enemy of the ter ritorial government for selfish alms. As soon as his address waa completed F. B. Thurber of New York presented reso lutions demanding an Investigation of the charge. He took exception to Mr. Fletch er' strictures upon Governor Brady, de claring that he knew the latter well and that he did not believe for a moment that Il action were dominated or dictated by any selfish motive.

An effort will be made at this session to .bring about a consideration of the differ-" I ences of the west. There is now a mining congress, a live stock congress, an Irriga tion congress, a good roads congress, all operating In harmony, but separately.

DISCOVER NEW SEAL ROOKERY Captain MrClellan Finds Herd of Seal oa Island of Boeldyer. WASHINGTON," Aug. 19. Captain Shoe maker of the revenue cutter eervlce has received a report from Captain- Charles H. MrClellan, commanding tho cutter Man ning, recording the discovery of a hew fur seal rookery In the Aleutian Islands. Man ning went to the. .Aleutian Islands In ac cordance with Instructions from Captain Shoemaker, who had received Information through the natives of the .existence of a seal herd near the western end of the Ion. chain of Islands. While "cruising among tne islands early In July the executive offi cer of Manning, Lieutenant Berthoff, went ashore with a boat' crew on the Island of Bouldyer. There he found a rookery ot fur seal similar to those found on the Prlblloff islands. , .; . . ,: . Bouldyer Is between Bering sea and the Taclflc ocean, fully 1.600 mile west of Ban Francisco, but still within American Juris diction. Lieutenants Berthoff approached tne nera closely enough to observe that none ot the seals had been branded ani there was no algn that white men In search or fur seal had ever been near the Island. Manning will continue . searching to dis cover if there are other rookeries In that locality. The suggestion I made that theae islands may be one of the rendezvous of the fur seal during their absence from the Prlblloff Islands. The discovery I con sidered Important by the officials here lit view of the gradual decline of the fur seal on the rrtblloff Islands: ' AUTHORITY IS UNDISPUTED Right of lotted State, to Midway and Wake Island.

The Cuban reciprocity treaty Is now ready for the algnature of, contracting partlea and could be ready for submission to the. United State senate whenever desired by th president. , :, . 80 far a known herd there is no Impor tant reason for abandoning the southwestern tour save a. possible Intention on the part ot the president to call a special session of the senate and to remain her while the treaty. is unaer discussion. , ; ...

OU BY ALL GROCERS, TirK OMAITA DA11.V ItEK; WEDNESDAT, CITf COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Mayor Mooret Vetoei Resolution Providing for General fund Expenditure. OPPOSES MARKET HOUSE APPROPRIATION City Executive Promise to Veto Every Oraersl Fond Expense Kent ( I'ntll Market Honae Reso lution I. Rescinded. Over the veto of the mayor the city council last night by an unanimous vote of the six members present re-enacted Its resolution authorizing the city engineer and Councilman Hascali and Zlraman to attend the sixth annual convention of the League of American Municipalities, to be held at Grand Raplda, Mich., next week, and allowing each of the officials named the sum of $50 from the general fund to pa the expenses of the trip. When the roll was called the members present were Councllraen Burkley, Has call, Hoye, Lobeck, Trostler, Whltehoru and Zlmman, and by vote Councilman Burkley was called to the chair. The mayor's veto message on the meas ure referred to Was as follows: I return herewith without my approval uueumem rxo. inm, passed Dy your honor able bodV at your lAflt rrvnlar nwatinv This document is a resolution authorising me irny riiginrcr ana Jounvllinen Hascali and Zlmman to attend the sixth annua) convention or the Lague of American Municipalities, to be heM In flranH RiniH, Mich., the present month, and allowing miu wic aum ui lor necessary expenses, to be paid from the general fund. I veto this resolution because It provides for the payment of this I15U out of the gen- cm, mnu. i nave received Irom the cltv comptroller a statement of the general fund balance up to date, and taking the fixed charges and the different Items set aalde by vour hnnorahla hnriv tha unorai fund is now overdrawn 16.896.61. Among the Items set aside I find the following: Two thousand dollars for the treasurer's department. u.WO for the tax department, 12.000 for street signs, $250 for Funston avenue, jis.uoo ror market house, making a total of $21,260. Your honorable bodv must rail a tin it At the pace now set an overlap In the general fund Is inevitable. Rhmilri von rescind the resolution setting aside $15,000 iur a mantel nouse you would leave the general fund In a condition to meet the nei'cKMiry ana actual expenses that are bound to accrue during the remainder of thle year, aided by such back taxes as may be hereafter collected. If not a large over lap stares you In the face. Until some such arrangement is made I shall be compelled to veto every Item of expense to be paid from the general fund. Other Vetoes Sustained. Several other resolutions adnnted hv tha council at It last previous meeting wero returned without the signature of the mayor and In each case the veto waa am. tained. The mayor's refusal to ntn tho resolution appropriating $10 to reimburse i. a. uarnes ror damages claimed, which was one of this number, was upon the ground that the resolution was defective In falling to describe the nature ot the aamage alleged to have been sustained by Mr. Barnes and that It failed to state the fund from which It wa proposed to T7 ths zucscy. Auuilivi uf tuvae resolu tion wa that appropriating $82.65 from the general fund to reimburse Samuel Relchenberg for an alleged overcharge, and that the mayor objected to for the reason that the nature of the claim was not expllcity stated, and that tho general fund had already been overdrawn. In his communication he stated, however, that he believed Mr. Relchenberg to" be entitled to the money and that he would sign a resolution in due form. The resolution directing the tax commis sioner to cancel upon the tax list for 1900 an item tf $192 assessed against the chap ter dioces of Nebraska wa returned simply for the reason that a mistake had been made In the resolution. In the de scription of the property. Following the same policy with regard to the general fund which characterized hi contemporary action upon other resolutions the mayor had refused to sign the document Instruct ing the Board of Public Works to repair Forty-sixth avenue from Center street south to Castellar street, and his action wa sustained by the council. Toward the. close of the evening Council man Whitehorn and a resolution which be Introduced In the regular course of busi ness gave rise to considerable good-natured banter among the members. Hasrall Makes a Joke. The measure provided for three are light to be placed on Military avenue between the former termlnu of the street railway line and the city limits. The lights had been requested by the Country club and Mr. Hascali said he would favor the resolution because he had a Mud-sill club In hi part of the city which would later be glad to get a few light. Councilman Lobeck added that be had a club of gar dener, farmer and dairymen who would alo want lights before long and he hoped the other member would stand by him when he asked for them. Comptroller Westberg submitted the following statement ot the condition of fund on this date: 90 Per Cent 1902 Levy and War Miscellaneous rants R.eci!'' Iwn. Balance.
