To properly enforce these statutes involved :aa employment of inspectors, not only ltDorts where Chinese arrive directly by vessels, bat at various places on the Mexican and Canadian frontiers, and &.10 at places in the interior where utre are large Chinese colonies. Un the subject of the seal fisheries Mr. Carlisle says that the department is io possession of reports indicating a saA*! decrease in the number of seals on tne Pribyloff island, and in consequence the number permitted to be uken this year was limited to 16,000 tad for the ensuing year the number vili have to be still further reduced. Concurrently with this falling off on ,w" ^h?an fnr anmo I?D INtUUI moiv --V- ? jetri a ereat increase in the namber of mi? killed at sea. While the official returns cannot yet be stated it ia known that the total catch in the North Pacific isd Bering Sea for the seaaon just ex* jrred is by far the largest ever known :a the hiarory of Pelagic sealing. The decreue in the seals on the Pribylofi iilaodi, coupled with the large number cfdead pups found on the islands duria* the last season, whose mothers wore . presumably killed at sea, and the farther phenomenal increase in pelagic catch, justifies the belief that before the expiration of five years?wheu the regclations enacted by the tribunal of irbnration are to be submitted to our fovaroment and that of Great Britain bra new examination to consider posi-ble modifications in the light of past "Denence?the further seal will have been practically exterminated.

CURRENCY REFORM. The most important feature of Mr. Carlisle's report'19 hia discussion of the lobjectof currency reform, in thecourae cf which the adminiatrationa plana of a new system of currcncy are eet forth in detail. Mr. Carliale aava. In my last annual report I called attention to the unaatiafactory condition o( our financial legislation, especially to tae issue and redemption of circulating notea by the government and the liability of tue secretary of the troaaury, unier existing lawa, to mako prompt and adequate provision for the support of the public credit. The oxperience of the past year ha9 continued and trenettieneii the opinions then expressed, aril I thoreforo respectfully, but most earnestly, urge upon Congreaa the necessity for remedial legislation curing it* present session. The well known defects in our financial avatem, and trio serioua nature of tho evils threatened by them, havo done raoro daring the last two yeara to impair tho credit of the government and the peoPjeof the United States, at home and abroad, and to check our industrial awl ?< urograas mail an omer tbiniff! combined, and our tirst and plainest duty is to provide, if poiaiblo, ?om?etlec:ivo method for tho prompt jod permanent relief of the country "Offl the consequences ot tho present poiicy. A brief statement of tho practii;a' and unavoidable results of tho existing legislation will demonstrate it* injurioutt ellecta upon our financial at'Jiri more clearly than any arnurneut that could be submitted. Alter many fluctuations the gold rowrve held for the redemption ol United states le;?al tender notes wa? reduced ?o tbe 17th flay of January, 1894, to the Qm of $69,757,824, and "tho cash balin tho tn?a?ary excluding tho cur9 i I Miss Maria Parloa | I atronnly Keooramenda ?

Th? current ordinary expen?ei far the aupport of tbe governinent were. and for aome time had been, vary coniiderably in excan of tha carrant receipt!, and consequently it ra impossible to procure sold for the reserve without retorting to tba inue and aaie of bondi under tbe authority conferred by the act of January 14, 1875, commonly known aa tbe reaumption act. Accordingly the bonda to the amount ol $50,000,000 bearing intereat at the rate of five per centum, and payable after ten yean (ram (late, being one of the three classes of bonds authorized bv the act referred to, were iaaued and iold for the >00) of $58,060,917 03, no bid having been accepted which would yield the purchaser more than 3 per centum upon bis investment. On the Ctb day of March, 1894, the free gold in the treasury amounted to the auiu of $107,44(1,802, which was the highest point that has been reached since March 25, 189:). The lowest point reached by the reserve since the resumption of specie payments was on the 7th day of August, 1894, when, by reason of withdrawals in the redemption of notes, it was reduced to S-52.189,500. After that date it was slowly replenished by voluntary exchanges of gold coin for United States notes by the baalcs and by small receipts of gold in the payment oi dues to the government until the 14th day of November, 1894, when it reached the sum of $01,878,374. In the meantime, however, the frequent presentation of notes for redemption in gold by individuals and institutions not desiring it for export, clearly indicating the existence of a feeling of uneasiness in the public mind, while fnPAlcrn arclianna ?*nii almmt cnnatnnf Iv at or near a rate which made it mora profitable to export gold than to purchase bills, and, consequently, withdrawals for shipmont were daily threatened. In addition to these cause* of anxiety, the vast accumulation of money at our financial centres, and the general depression in business which prevailed in thiscountry had so reduced the rates of discount that the inducement to keep funds abroad whore better investments could be made were much greater than in ordinary times, and this, together with the other facts stated, made it highiy imprudent to neelect any precaution which appeared necessary to insure the safety of our financial position. In fact, some shipments of gold were actually made, and as the season was approaching when in tbe usual course of trade and financial operations large exportation* near ly always occur. It was considered absolutely necessary for the maintenance of the public credit and the continued execution of the monetary policy doclared by Congress in the act of July 14, 1890, and repealed in the act of November 9, 1893, to resort again to the isane of bonds. The secretary proceeds with an elaborate and lengthy review of the history of the workings of the present currency svstem, and an 'argument showing the necessity of reform, and concludes as follows: In view of the foregoing considerations, and many others that might bo urged in favor of a reorganization and reformation of our Daper currency ays* tem, 1 have prepared the outlines of a plan which, in my opinion, will relieve tho government to a great extent lrom the burdens now imoosed upon it, secure within a reasonable time a safe and elastic national and state bank currency and result ultimately in the permanent retirement of United states legal tender notes of both classes. It is, in brief, as follows: ' THE SCHEME. 1. Repeal all laws requiring or authorizing the deposit of United States bonds as security for circulation. 2. Permit national bauks to isine notes to an amount not oxceodine seventy-five percentum of their paid-up and unimpaired capital, but require each bank before receiving notes to deposit a guarantee fund, consisting of "United StaKa, legal tender note9, including treasury notes of I-S90 to the amount of thirty percentum upon the circulating notes outstanding to be maintained at all times, and whenever a bank retires its circulation, in wnole or in part, its guarantee fund to be returned to it in uronortion to the amount of note* retired. 3. Retain the provision of the law making stockholders individually liable and provide that the circulation notes shall constitute a first iien upon all the aseota of the bank. 4. Impose a tax of one-half of one percentum per annum, payable semi-annually, upon the average amount of notes in circulation to defray the expenses of printing notes, official supervision, cancellation, etc. 5. No national bank note to be of less denomination than $10, and all notes of the same denomination to be uniform in design; but banks desiring to redeem their notes in gold may have them made payable in that coin. The secretary of the treasury to have authority to prepare and keep on hand ready for issue upon application a reserve of blank national bank notes for each banking association having circulation. 6. Require each national banking association to redeem its notes at its own office, or at its own official agencies to be designated by it. 7. To provide a safety fund for the immediate redemption of the circulating notes of failed banks, impose a tax per annum upon the average circulation of each bank until the fund amounts to five per centum of the total circulation outstanding. Kequiro each new bank anil each bank taking out additional circulation, to deposit its proper proportion t\( ?hia funri hnforA rAnmvin? notes. When a bnnk fails, its guarantee fund hold on deposit to be paid into the safoty fund and used in Lho redemption of its notos, and if thin fund shall bo impaired by tho redemption of the uotoa <?f tailed national banks, and the immediately available cash assets of such banks are influflicient to re-ostablish the funds, it shall at once be made good by pro rata assessments upon tho othor banks, according to tho amount* of their outstanding circulation; but there nhail bo a tint lien upon all the assets of failed bank or banks, to re-imburso tiio contributing bank*. Tho safety fund may bo invested in outstanding United States bonds havintc tho longest time to run, the bond* and tho intero?t upon them to be held as part of the fund and sold when aocoaaary to redeem notes of iailoil banks. 8. Repeal the provision! of the reorganization and extension act of July I:', 18:?J, imposing limitations upon the reduction ana iucroaio of national banks circulation. 9. itepoal ali provisions of the law re* quiring banks to keop a reserve on account of deposits. 10. Th? secretary of tho treasury mar, in his discretion, uso any surplus revenue of tho United States in tho redemption and rotiroinent of United .States legal tender note*, hut such redemptions shall not in tho aggrogato 4?xre.?<l an amount oqual to seventy pur emit of tho additional circulation taken it. by national and stato batik* under i ilie system heroin proposed. 11. Circulating notes issued by a | banking corporation, duly organized | i n ler thn lawn of any state, nnd which ran met* no other than u banking bnsiI ntwa. vhall ba exempt from taxation under the laws of the United States, when it it ahowa to the satisfaction of the secretary of the treasury and the comptroller of the currency? V1 > in at such bank haa at no time bad outstanding its circulating notes in excesa of seventy-five per centum of its paid up and unimpaired capital. (2) That its stockholders are individually liable for the redemption of its circulating notes to the fall extent of their ownership of stock. (3) That the circulating notes constitute by law a first lien upon all the aasets of the bank. (4) That the bank at all times keep the guarantee fund in United States legal tender notea, including treasury notes of 1890, equal to 30 per centum of its outstanding circulating notes; and (5) That it has promptly redeemed its notes on demand at ita principal office, or at ono or more of iti branch office*, if it ha* branches. 12. 1 he secretary of the treasury may, under proper ruies and regulations to be established by him, permit atate banks to procure and use in the preparation of their notes the distinctive paper used in printing United -States securities; but no state bank shall print or engrave its notes in similitude of a United States note or certificate or national bank note. The report concludes with a recommendation for further tarifl legislation for free raw materials in line with the Presidents message. 4 HOGG MEANS BUSINESS. Tho Texan Governor Hot After tho Standard Oil SXngnates. Austin, Texas, Dec. 4.?Sorno days ago Gov. Hozg issued requisitions for the arrest of William and ilenr/Rockefeller and other magnates of the Standard Oil Company, and Waters Pierce, of the Waters Pierce Oil Company, indicted for violation of the Texas antitrust law. The requisitions are known to have reached Gov. Flower, of New York, and Gov. Stone, of Missouri, several days ago, but what action they have taken has not been transmitted to the state officials here. Gov. Hogs states that he will follow the gentlemen into every state in the union and across the ocean if necessary to bring them to justice. Ho asserts that either the governor of Missouri or the governor of Kansas would recognize the requisition and surrender the men whom he it satisfied will be convicted if he can get them into Texas.
