THE FUR FLIES.
Mr.. sLAlNE's FOREIGN POLICY.


The Democrats say they are going to
make the fur fly in this campaign. The
WAYS and Means committee was au-
lhOriZed by the House 10 investigate the
Alaska Seal Fur CpmpunN'S contract by
which ii j. given the cNclusiv" privilege
of capturing seal iur> in ALASKA for u
period of twenty years, from President
Grants last term, the time that the con-
tract was made. There are some curious
circumstances, nj least with reference
To seal fur, which seem to have had
some connection with the nomination o!
Mr.. Blaine. \ certain lady announced
to some of her friends in quiet way ON
the morning of the nomination that Mr..
Blaine would bc nominated that day on
the second ballot, rs he was.
Well what do YOU suppose it means?
These people have already a good CON
tract. by which they are making mint
of money"
ayes, they are making heaps OF
money. They pay II cents Il piece for
the seal skins and sell them nj So or So
Il piece in London ltcost them toplacC
each one on the market about y, so that
makes about 1000 per cent. on the money
invested
"But what do YOU suppose is the
scheme? Why are they not content to
leave well enough alone? Why are they
anxious about Mr. Blainc?" your cor
respondent again gucricd of this gentle
man, who is a wCll-knOwn and old resi-
d mt of Washington.
"omply becnuse human nature is
never satisfied with good thing; what
they want now is something better
There are certain islands across the
channel from Alaska where these seals
70 after leaving the island, where this
company has the right of capturing
them; what they want is that the United
states Government should purchase
those islands. Whether they suppose
that their contract would extend TO
those islands or not or whet or they
would expect Il new con
tract, | don't know; prob
ably they are willing to trust, to
luck 70" that, if they can get those
islands purchased. Mr.. Blaine's for
eign policy is understood to he II vigor-
Gus one and one which will look toward
ACQUISITION of this sort. The purchase
after Mr.. Blaine's election, if he is
elected, in order that this company
which has already made millions, may
make as many millions more, by thus
opening new field for the seal killing
industry, is now certainly understood
to be part of Mr.. Blaiuo's campaign
policy, and these seal fur monopolists.
ii is said, have agreed to subscribe to
the Republican campaign fund Post
Dispatch.

Marriages take place at all kinds of
places from caprice, love Of notoriety
and sometimes from untoward circum-
tunccs. Recently Il couple were united
in railroad car: the stage coach has
furnished the place where the bridal
VOWS have been spoken; people have
been married on horseback, i'll towers
and balloons. The writer once partici
patcd in Il wedding ON the piazza OF Il
summer cottage on one of the Thousand
Islands, the moonlight glinting the ma
ieStir river that flowed beneath. and
browning the fair bride with such splen-
dor as the Kings daughters might envy
Niagara has witnessed the marriage
VOWS. and behind the bridal veil of Min
nehnha Falls many couple have been
made one.
\ brooklyn minister several years
ago married n couple from his chamber
window, telling them to come 'roInd in
the morning and sign the necessary pa
pCrS. The making out of the prelmi-
nary papers, if the clergyman is Il man
of tact. is usually done after the cere-
mony. for not seldom is there marked
heSitancy on the part of the contract
ing parties in answering the fatal ques-
ton Of age. Many times have the eyes
Of the bridegroom opened wide as the
tally of years counted some half Il
dozen more in the presence Of the cler-
gyman than in the prenuptial conf
denccs of private conversation, and
though the records are attested rs
true, to the best of the sgners
knowledge and belief, yet there have
been occasions in the experience OF
every minister when he had been very
certain that by some strange magic at
least half Il dozen years have dropped
ont of the recollection of the antique but

ParneIlites and Davittites.

LONDON, Aug. 3.-In the House of
Commons last night, previous to the
vote on the Irish Constabulary bill, the
adherents of Parnell demurred to the
provision, charging certain districts in
Ireland for extra police, and urged that
the extra force ne either removed or
their maintenance be charged equally
TO the whole country. The bill was
passed by a vote Of ninety to thirty
three.
An observer says though that the
breach between Davitt's party and the
Pa ne ties is only temporarily closed,
that it is not healed. Parnell's followers
believe that Davitt will take his own
course. and in the event of general
election he will prove formidable foe.
An American frigate, believed to be
The Lancaster, is ashore southwest of

ship Master Murdered.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1.-The startling
story that the crew of the schooner Julia
Baker from New York for Point Pctric,
had mutned and killed Capt. John
Lewis, and had been selling the cargo
in the West indies, has gained circula-
ton here, and Warnc" ID Merritt, the
owners of the VCSS, have trlcgraphCu
to the Collector Of Customs ut Key
West, where the Baker now is for intor-
nation ON the subject. Replies from
that gentleman are to the effect that
the man in command of the Baker
is evidently not Capt. Lewis.
lie tells rambling story, and his
statements and actions are OF such a
suspicious character, That he and four
of the crew have been arrested. There
is scarcely doubt that Capt. Lewis had
been killed, and that the crew has
been selling the cargo AT low rates III
the West India waters.
The reply from Key West, Florida,
saws the crew of the schooner, Julia
Baker, state that Master Lewis
was attacked by Gomez, the steward,
and Walker, the mate, seven days after
leaving New York. When the crisis
came they gave him something from Il
bottle and he died three minutes after
wards.
Walker was arrested this afternoon.
Gomez left the schooner at Fortune
Island He said he owned half the
cargo. Walker told the crew after the
schooner left Brinini Island that Gomez
had stolen the money which had been
realized from the sale of the flour. The
acting master OF the schooner has been
exhibiting II considerable amount of
gold and trying TO buy silence.
Capt. Lewis, about VIII m this mNs-
terry of the sea ccntcrs, has been en-
ployed by Warren ~ Merritt for nearly
len wears. They had no person on any
of their vessels in whom they placed
more implicit reliance. He came to
Philadelphia originally from Boothbay,
Maine, and was given Il position as mate
on one of their West India schooncrs
He proved himself so able and trust
worthy that they built him the .\ddie H..
Warner and placed him in com
mand. From what could be learned
about the mysterious captain he
was on very friendly terms
with the cook 1t seems possible that
he had difficulty with Capt. Lewis
about his drunkenness, and that the two
united their grievances and murdered
him. Then they tried to realize what
they could out of the cargo and escape.
The vessel, however, carried about
$1,000 in gold, which the Captain was eX-
pecting to use in buying fruit and tropi-
cal products for the return voyage. II
the crew found this ont they may have
mutinied, killed the Captain and secured
the gold and then tried to realize all they
could in addition to it. This theory
seems more probable, from the fact that
the officers and crew were evidently
working together in their wandcringS
from port to port.
