Tupper Says the Aleutian Natives
Are Practically l’eonsu

 

THE LION GROWLING _TOO.

A Strong British Fleet. 'Will Be IlIar-
shaled at Esqulmault to Be Ready
for Any Hostile Demonstration
on Uncle Sam’s Part.

LONDON, March 25.-—-It is stated on excel—
lent authority that Rear Admiral Hotham,
of the Pacific squadron, has received in-
structions to protect the Canadian sealers
in the event that no arrangement can be
arrived at with the United States. Lord
Salisbury was at first inclined not to take
this step and simply to leave the matter
alone, letting the Canadians take their
chances of escape from the American rev—
enue cutters and Of litigation in the Ameri-
can courts. To this Sir Charles Tupper, the
Canadian high commissioner, is said to have
strenuously objected. He pointed out that
such a course would be in marked and dis-
honorable contrast to the strong foreign
policy which has characterized Lord Salis-
bury’s government in other regions of the
world, and that a failure to protect British
subjects engaged in an occupation asserted
by Great Britain to be lawful would be a
virtual abandonment of all claim to Cana-
dian loyalty.

Canada Demanded Protection.

Sir Charles gave Lord Salisbury to un-
derstand, that Canada didcnot ask for, but
demanded the protection of England, and
that nothing less than complete protection
would be satisfactory to her people. Should
the sealing issue result in war, the Cana-
dians would be prepared to do their part
and prove their loyalty on land, but they
must look to England for defense at sea.
Sir Charles is said to have urged. that Eng-
land could aflz'ord a quarrel on this question
with the United States, as it was a question
regarding which the whole world would be
on the English side as against the claimant
to a monopoly of animals roaming the high
seas.

He also argued that there would be no
public sentiment in the United States be-
hind President Harrison and his cabinet in
raising the issue; that it was really a scheme
on the part of a few wealthy men, some 'of
them holding high position, to stir up an
anti-British feeling, in order to sustain them
in a monopoly from which they had already
accumulated millions, and that he (Sir

Charles) had reliable assurances through:

special inquiries in different parts of the
United States that there was no general
public sentiment behind the few men who
were using President Harrison. The Amer-
ican people, said Sir Charles, had no sympa-
thy with monopolies, in Alaska or else-
where, and when the whole hideous history
of the Alaska monopoly was laid bare, as it
inevitably would be if the quarrel was
pushed much further, the American people
would be astounded.
Slaves of the Alaska Company.

Sir Charles is said to have pointed out
that the natives of the Aleutian islands, al-
though nominally entitled to all American
rights, were virtually the peons of the
Alaska company, as they were prevented
from pursuing any other work thaii such as
the company gave them to do; that if the
people of the United States understood this
fact they would demand that the‘monopoly
should be swept out of existence, and that
no part of the territory of the United
States should be controlled by a chartered
company. The American people had spent
thousands of millions of dollars, argued Sir
Charles, and sacrificed hundreds of thou-
sands of lives to put an end to slavery thir-
ty years ago, and they would be amazed, he
declared, when they fully comprehended
that they were invited to go to war in order
that a form Of modified slavery might be
maintained in the Aleutian islands and a
part of the ocean made a monopoly for the
benefit of a few millionaires. ‘

To Elect Force with Force.

Advices have been received to the effect
that the Warspite, the flagship of Rear Ad-
miral Hotham, is now on its way to north
Pacific waters, and that a strong fleet will
be marshaled at Esquimaultto be ready for
any hostile demonstration on the part of the
United States. ' '-

The newspapers make Behring sea the
prominent topic. The Star (Radical—Liberal)
says that Lord Salisbury knuckled under to
Blaine in 1891, and declines rightfully to
consent again to play into the hands of a
ring of sealers who have influence with the
American congress. Moreover, such a course
would be an injustice to the Canadians.

The Evening News (Liberal) says that the
prospect justifies grave alarm, but Great
Britain will not be bullied into the accept-
ance of a modus vivendi by threats that all
the military and naval forces of the United
States will be called upon to sustain Amer-
ican claims.

The Pall Mall Gazette (Liberal) says that
President Harrison is riding a high horse
again. The difference will of course be ad-
justed, and is only worthy of notice as an
instance of presidential posing prior to an
election.

The St. James Gazette (Tory) says that it
is impossible not to feel anxiety lest naval
officers in a. remote sea, safely distant from
the telegraph, will lose their heads or tem-
pers. The United States is not going to
war with us over the seals, but it must he
confessed that matters are very uncomforta-
ble and rather alarming.

The Globe, (Conservative) laughs at the
United States senate being panic stricken
over hearing of President Harrison’s heroic
resolution, which they tried to keep secret.
Happily, says The Globe, there is not the
slightest chance Of a serious result to the is-
sue. The president’s bluster is merely an
election appeal to a certain class of electors,
and especially the Irish, who love to see
Great Britain insulted.

No Cause for Alarm.

WASHINGTON, March ltd—There is ap-

ntly no reason for alarm in the vigor-
ous attitude which President Harrison has
assumed toward Lord Salisbury’s govern-
ment in the Behring sea matter. It is said
there is a general understanding by this
government that the British, while not

eing to a renewal of the modus vivendi,
will not interfen with our policing Behring
sea against poachers.

Unless men usually well informed in this
matter are possessed of an inordinate
amount of misinformation, there is no dan-
ger at present of a war. Great Britain fully

the United States to carry out the
laws on our statute ' books which give the
president authority to keep poachers out of
Behring sea. The announcer‘nent by Presi-
dent Harrison that he intends to do this
will not create any surprise on the port of

Lord Salisbury and is not apt to excite seri-
ous resentment.
Responsible to Canadians.

In order to maintain her position, which
is that the Canadian sealers have a perfect
right to kill seals in Behring sea, Great Brit-
ain is obliged to assume responsibility for
damages sustained by the Canadian sealers
by reason of the operation of the modus
vivendi. To repudiate the responsibility
would be to declare that no right to catch
seals rested§with the Canadians. Therefore,
under the operations of the modus vivendi
for last year, Great Britain is liable to pay
damages to these Canadian sealers.

Undoubtedly, if the matter got in such a
shape 'as to admit of her doing so, Great
Britain would demand that the United
States assume the responsibility for all
losses sustained by the Canadians. Under
the operation of the modus it would be dif-
ficult for Lord Salisbury to fix such a re-
sponsibility upon,_ the United States, and it
is for that reason probably that he now re—
fuses to renew the modus unless the United
States will assume the obligation to pay
British subjects for losses they may incur
by being deprived of the privilege of poach-
mg.

Accident Might Cause a Rupture.

So long as Lord Salisbury’s government
takes no part in the restriction of the priv-
ileges of these poachers the British govern-
ment is not responsible for claims that may
be presented, but if such claims were good
at all they would lie against the United
States. There is no expectation on the part
of Lord Salisbury that the United States
will quietly yield all her claims of jurisdic-
tion over the seal fisheries immediately
upon the refusal of the British to enter into
a modus vivendi. Neither, apparently, is
there any motive on the part of Lord Salis-
bury to provoke armed hostilities. His ob-
ject seems to be to avoid the responsibility
to the Canadians.

Well known diplomats here believe that if
any open rupture occurs between the two
countries it will be on account of some un-
foreseen accident. If some Canadians resist
the authority of the American guardians of
Behring sea and by any untoward circum-
stance a British subject shall be killed or
British sealer sunk, the situation may be-
come more serious, but it is expected by the
exercise Of ordinary precaution matters
will go on about as they did last year, with-
out bloodshed. ' _

Last year the operations of the naval and
revenue vessels, which were assigned to the
duty of protecting the sealing industry,
were confined to Behring sea. It is now
proposed, however, to extend them also to
the waters within the three mile limit along
the entire Alaskan coast north of latitude
55 degs. to Unimak pass, south of Behring
sea. In this way the seal herd on its way
tOLthe rookeries on Pribylov islands will
be protected at least to a limited extent
from poachers along the entire course usual.
ly followed by them. Nearly 25,000 seals
were slaughtered in these waters within
the three mile limit last year.

The revenue vessels Corwin and Albatross
have already gone to Alaskan waters to
patrol those waters, and will soon be fol-
lowed by the Rush and Bear, and possibly
by several naval vessels. rl'he seals do not
usually enter Behring sea until J 11110.

England’s Warlike Preparations.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The Post prints
an article by General H. V. Boynton on the
defenseless condition of the United States
in the event of a foreign war. The general
starts out with the assertion that Great Brit-
ain is thoroughly prepared for war with
the United States, and cites the existence
of a line of menacing naval posts along the
entire eastern coast of the United States,
which are being daily strengthened and
made more formidable.

He asks: “Is there any other nation in
this quarter of the world requiring the vast
preparations of these recently modernized
stations? Have the fifty modern ironclads
of England, built with a draft to suit the
Canadian canals, and the fifty more which
conform to the enlarged locks now in proc-
ess of construction, any meaning which
does not include our lake cities? Will any
one claim that Puget sound, the Columbia
river and San Francisco and San Diego har-
bors are not among the objectives of the
formidable naval stations at Victoria.”

Efforts to lllaintain Secrecy.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-——The senate com-
mittee on foreign relations further consid-
ered the Behring sea arbitration treaty. It
is understood that they will report the
treaty to the senate with a recommenda
tion that it be ratified.

After the senate went into executive ses-
sion the matter of the leakage of executive
session proceedings was again brought up,
and much earnestness was shown in the re
marks made by senators, who deprecated
the publication of alleged incorrect and mis-
leading reports. It was finally determined
to exclude from the chamber all the em-
ployees of the senate, including those whc
have charge of the records of the executive
sessions. General McCook, secretary, is the
only officer who remained in the chamber.

 

 

Indemnity for British Sealers.

OTTAWA, March 25.—-The Hon. Mr. Reed,
in the senate, inquired of the government it
the British or Canadian government is tc
bear the expense of indemnifying the Brit-
ish sealers for damages sustained after be
ing warned against killing seals in the high
seas last year. Premier Abbott gave little
satisfaction in his reply. He said he was
not in a position to state how negotiations
were proceeding. It would not be difficult,
however, to divine what Canada’s attitude
would be on that question.

GOULD DECLARED GUILTY.

The Albany Lawyer Convicted at Utica
of Bank Robbery.
UTICA, N. Y., March 25.—The jury in the

Gould 'case rendered a verdict of guilty. It .

was a surprise to the public, but Gould took
it very coolly. He turned white in the face,
but shed no tears. His brother gave vent
to his sorrow in weeping. Messrs. Chase
and Matteson, the district attorney and Mr.
Ferguson engaged in a conference with the
court, and the counsel for the defense an-
nounced that they would appeal the case at
once.

The indictment against Anthony Gould
was a combination of counts'in aiding and
abetting George P. Whitney, the ex—indi-
vidual bookkeeper of the Albany City N a
tional bank, to take the funds of the bank
and falsify the accounts. Whitney was
indicted some time ago at Buffalo, and
is now serving a seven years’ term in the
Albany penitentiary. ‘Gould was a well
known lawyer of Albany, and was twice
recorder of the city. He is an ex-member
of the Fort Orange club. .

The Closing Speeches on the Bland
Silver Bill.

 

NAMED BY THE PRESIDENT.

Hr. Ingham Gets the United States At-
torneyship for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania—1V. K. Townsend for
District Judge of Connecticut.

WASHINGTON, March 25.—Interest’ in the
silver question is unabated, and large
crowds still attend the sessions of the
house. Mr. Williams (Democrat), of Illinois,
was the first speaker in favor of the bill.
He said he did not believe in a 70 or 140
cent dollar, but of the twothe former was
ashonest and equitable as the latter. He

believed in a 100 cent dollar, which had the

same purchasing power today that it had
last year and would have next year.

The unit value was a creature of law, and
the power to declare what should consti-
tute a unit of value is vested in congress
alone. It had no more important duty to
perform than this, and it should make this
unit of value fair to the debtor and creditor
alike.

In order that such a value should have a
constant and increasing value, the unit
should also increase—the increase should be
in the primary money and not the credit
money Of the country.

Gold Would Not Be Driven Out.

If free coinage was adopted the parity be-
tween gold and silver would be maintained.
Gold would not be driven out. He referred
to the speech of Mr. Lodge, who said that
if we wished to force Europe to a double
standard we should stop coining silver. If
gold went abroad it would go in payment
for our bonds and securities and in the set-
tlement of the balance of trade. It would
be better to have silver than no metal at all.

Free silver would not be a panacea for all
ills. It would not relieve them from the
burdens of protective taxation. \Ve should
no longer delay the remouetiZation of sil-
ver. The passage of this bill would not de-
feat the purpose to wipe out the system at
oppressive taxation.

Long before the November elections the
same supreme issue whiCh bound the De-
mocracy together and led them to victory
in 1890 will again unite them in one grand
and en. ccssful effort to place in the execu-
tive mansion a Democratic president and a
Democratic majority in the house. [Loud
applause]

Cochran Opposes the Bill.

Mr. Cochran (Democrat), of New York,
followed in Opposition to the bill. He
hoped there would be no disposition to per-
mil; this great question to become a sec-
tional one. It should not be regarded as a
question between dwellers in cities and the
country, capitalists and producers, bankers
and farmers. There was not one foot of
territory in this country of which he was
not a. citizen.

The people of the country could still be
regarded as one great family whose wants
were common to all, and whose wants
should be relieved by the act of all. He be-
longed to a party which believed that there
should be no distinction, territorial or other
wise, among the citizens of the land whc
had but one common "object—the advance
ment of our civilization and development oi
our resources and constitutional freedom.

The priceless heritage of every citizen of
this land was the industry and the virtue of
all the people in it.

This was the only hope of the security 01
the nation in the future. If the prophecies
of the silver men were correct there would
be no opposition to this measure by the
antisiln-r men. The whole theory of the
bill was prophecy. The speaker paid a
high tribute to the speech of Mr. Bland and
his report, which he said was the most ex-
haustive and able review of everything that
has been contributed on this question for
the last hundred years.

The great question on this bill was, I]
gold and Silver should go to par, what would
be the effect on the prosperity and happi-

‘ness of the people of this country? Uno

doubtedly the inferior currency would drive

SUFFOCA’IION WAS THE!!! FATl

The Twenty-three Hill Farm Miners 1‘
Not Starve or Burn.

DUNBAR, Pa, March 25,—On Thursd.
morning the coroner and his jury entered
the Hill Farm mine and viewed the bodice
of twenty-three Of the thirty-one miner!
who were entombed nearly two years ago
and whose bodies have just been found.
On June 16, 1890, an explosion occun‘l in

lamp carried by little Willie Bayou fining
in contact with a body of gas from a. bore
hole. The boy was instantly killed, as was
Danny Shearin, who was standing by. Of

were the only bodies recovered at the time.
Men in the slope escaped, but twenty—nine
men in the right heading were shut off by
walls of flame that left no hope. Efforts
were made to break into the Hill mine from
' the Ferguson and Mahonin g mines near by,
but in vain.

Then began a fight against fire, since
which time the Dunbar Furnace company,
backed by the heaviest Stockholders in
Philadelphia, has spent over $100,000. Only
after the mine had been flooded several
months was the fire extinquished, when the
hardest work of all began in taking out the
hundreds of thousands of tons of debris and
wreCkage.

Finally, when this work was done, Super-
intendent Hill, with a small band of work-
ers, entered flat N O. 0 of the ill fated Hill
Farm mine and stumbled over the bodies
of twenty-three of the twenty-nine lost
miners.

Mr. Hill’s story follows: “It was exactly
4:30 o’clock when we found the first body.
We had to do quick work, as the air was
horrible. In a few minutes we found all
the bodies. They were all lying within a
few feet of each other. They were pretty
well preserved, but of course unrecogniz-
able. We knew the body of the little trap
per boy, John Devaney, when we found it,
on account of its size. He had been work-
ing in N o. 8 flat, but had run down into No.
9 along with the fifteen other men who
were working there. We spent but afew
minutes in the flat, only long enough to
count the bodies.”

It is believed by Inspector Duncan that
the men were suffocated in a. short time
and were not burned, as the fire did not
reach N o. 9 flat at all. That the men did
not die of starvation is proven by the fact
that dinner buckets at the mouth of the flat
were untouched. This removes one fearful
doubt that has tormented the widows and
fatherless who have been obliged to wear
away two long years in the belief that their
loved ones were either burned to death

terrible death by slow starvation.

Inspector Duncan thinks the remaining
six bodies will 'be found about 150 feet be-
low those already found. Following are the
names of the twenty-nine entombed miners:
Daniel McCashion, Robert McGuill, Richard
Bigley, Elmer Dewey, James Shearon, John
Devaney, Patrick Devlin, John A. Joy,
Martin Cavanaugh, James McCune, John
Cope (father), Andrew Cope, Jr.; Peter Fa
gan, Patrick Cahill, William Cahill, David
Davis, Sr; Thomas Davis (son), Joseph
Bigley, Thomas McCleary, William Hayes,
the boy whose lamp fired the gas.

 

We think we can cure a bad case Of
Backache quicker with one of Carter’s
Smart Weed and Belladonna Backache
Plasters,than by any other application,
and after the Backache is cured, you
can still wear the plaster without dis-
comfort for two or three weeks, or
longer. ‘ This combination of Smart
Weed and Belladonna is a great hit,
and it is hard to find any pain or ache
that will not yield to it. Price 25 cents
slod by druggists everywhere.
