one that VIC have often alluded to in

enormous difference between young

the price secured per pound may be the

being that when the water had escaped

An Exciting whale HUNT.
.Sa. L.;, O5;.po Tribune.

ct" keS N0s-PS <'so""'s
Captain Joseph Clark, proprietor Of
the whale fishery near San Simeon. has
furnished us with the following items oil
interest: They have captured the pres.
emit season some twenty or thirty whales.
Several weeks sinco he struck an i'm.
msnse fright" whale. After making fast
to the monster some twenty bombs were
fred into him. In the meantime the
party found they were being towed out
to sea at an astonishing rate OF speed.
and when about thirteen miles from
shore the lsviathan turned upon his pur'
suers and smashed the boats q after
another as fast a. he could got to them.
causing the men to jump overheard and
swim for dear life. The last remaining
boat. which had been cut loose from the
whale. was their only chance Of escape.
The monster VA not secured, but Cap
tain Clark thinks there can be no doubt
Of the deadly missives having done their
work. and he was ct last accounts watch
ing the beach for miles. In hope that the
hulk would drift ashore. The Captain
estimates the value Of this whale, In oil
and bone. at no less than $4,000.

about the facts or merits OF my ne I

Fair play. especially towards Q man
charged with murder. ID supposed 70 30
Characteristic OF American communities;
but I expect no fair play on or before my
trial II the fast men and corrupt dstss.
tives who surround the Chronicle ofaos

1t. Il IL infamous that public officers,
who are paid BY Q community. should
work illeeitimately for private individu.
ais and convert what ought TO DO honor
able prosecution into malignant persecu.
ton. The drivel published In the Chron.
icls OF last Sunday shows how some OF
our detectives will invade private houses
and try to brighten ignorant people. As
for the arrest OF ~Clsmentshaw. I have
this to say: I do not know the man,
and I make no statement a. to my YER
sion Of what t~ranspired. I do not say
whether his version was correct or incor.
rect; but I do declare that he had no
motive. so far o. I can see. to conceal
or pervsrt the truth, and that there 10
nothing in his evidence to indicate per.

Thus far Blaine has developed very
much less strength in the South than

pies find him little favor In that dirsc-
ton a compared with Grant. The fact
becomes more and moro apparent that

tween . solid South and Q solid South.
And the fact becomes more and more
apparent every day that washburns 10

friends OF both Blaine and Grant will b
90 nearly matched that neither will take

promise candidate. Grant II his warm
and personal friend. and would infusncs
great strength for him in the South. and
throughout the North he 10 recognized

Republican vote. He is the strongest
man In the party today. According to
latest kilograms from Warrington. Madi-
son Wells Of Louisiana says that It now
looks very much a. II there would b
two Republican delegations from that
State to the Chicago Convention-ons
for Grant and the other for Sherman.
He says: "The colorsd people are
unanimous for Grant and the whites for
Sherman. There are strong indications
for washburns ss the dark horse. He
il very popular among Congressman,
and In the second choice Of the Blaine
and Sherman men. and even the Grant
leaders are warmly attached to him."

UNEAsY.

Young Kalloch. the murderer Of Dc
Young. Is evidently very uneasy in
regard to the consequences Of his bruta
deed. He has given No reason for do
ing 1t. and seems particularly anxious to
grasp at any straw in sight which may
tend to rescue him from the gallows.
This 10 noticeable in his eager desire to
apply the testimony Of tho proven per-
jurer Clemstshaw to his defense. In his
communication to the Post published
In another column. no says: "I do
not say whether his testimony was cor
rect or incorrect; bat I do declare that
no had NO motive. 20 far as I can SEQ. to
conceal or psrvsrt the truth, and that

cate perjury" Several responsible par
ties who we're present at the murder and
law every act and phase OF IL closely

in this mans evidence nothing but plain
lying perjury. In fact his evidence con-
dsmned itself in the eyes Of the jury. and
hisarrest for perjury il the result. Every
indication, however. at the present time
goes to show that the murderer will rely
for his defense upon testimony Of =
similar nature. and his worthy and
influential father will not hesitate at
securing and indorsins perjury or any
thing else In the attempt to clear his
