Horse Notes,

J. J. Crawford of Nashua, has the follow

record of 2.422 at Portland; alter this he was
sold to MI Marston of Boston, who did not
keep him long enough to find out how goCd
a horse he had got, but wanted to sell him
and get something faster | bought him af-
ter he showed a mile at Beacon Park in 2.3S3
and since that time, something ever three
years, he has been steadily improving and
can now show mile in 2.25, and is the
gamest horse in this neighborhood, and in
nv opinion will yet make his mark among
the very best of the Morrilps.
Senator Edmunds of Vermont, it is said,
now draws the reins over matched pair of

THE SEIZED SEALERS.
The Opinion of Minister Of Marine
Foster.

OTTAWA Sept. 13.-Mr. Foster has re-
turned from British Columbia. Concerning
the recent seizure of British vessels off the
Alaskan coast, he said:
At Victoria personally took the deposit
tionS of several seamen who were on board
one of the vessels at the time Of the seizure.
According to their statements they were on
the ocean 60 miles west of the Aleutian ISL
ands. The seizure, according to our view,
was unjuStifiable, and representations Will
be made to the imperial authorities. Among
the questions involved in the settlement OF
the affair is that of monetary damages con-
sequent upon the forfeit of seals and the
detention of the vessels. The right of the
Americans to exclude our fishermen from
the high seas or from pursuing their voca-
tion outside the three-mile limit, following
the indentations of the coast, and accepted
as one of the leading principles of interna-
tional law, will also have to be settled. The
question is broad one.
In 1921 Alexander, the cZar of Russia,
which at that date owned Alaska, asserted
extensive territorial rights to all waters r. OF
the Pacific above 51o north latitude. The
entire stretch of water he characterized a
'close sea-" because it lay completely
within Russian territory. The United States
was the foremost to oppose this declaration
Later on, however, the same government
purchased Alaska, and for an annual con-
sideration of 100000 gave the sole right to
trap or fish in the prohibited waters to a
private trading company The protection of
the interests Of tine traders was guaranteed,
and the seizure of the British vessels was
one of the natural results 1t must be recol-
lected that the United States at one time
vigorously opposed the very principle which
they are now attempting to enforce.
MIR. Boutwell,, Secretary of State in 1872,
writing on this question, expressed the be-
lief that his government did not possess the
right to exclude the vessels of fishermen of
other nations from the Alaskan seas.

The sedgwick Scandal.

PAso DEL. NoRTE, Sept. I3.-Envoy Sedg-
wick was busily engaged Saturday and Sun
day with Consul Brigham on the Cutting IN
yestigation. In reply to a question as to
how much truth there was in the scandalous
story that had been telegraphed about MN

asking what they would pay for Sedgwick
scandal. That paper replied, naming price.

truthfulness of the charge; l nave tne
statements of forty responsible people VINO

the next morning, and the testimony OF tnese
people will outweigh the statements OF per-
sons whose identity has never yet been dls-
In regard to his work on the Cutting case,
MIR. Sedgwick said that he had made consid-
erabie progress, and had compiled and gath
cred great many documents bearing on the
matter. But he would say nothing as to its
| aspect. He will remain in Mexico perhaps
| week, and may be compelled to go back TO
| Chihuahua, or even to the City of Mexico,

BowERY BEACH.

BOWEhI bEAOhs
The contractors having pronounced the
new brick fog signal house at the Cape fin
ished in accordance with the plans and spec
ifications the work Of transferring boilers

building was in progress when Major Stan
ton, lighthouse engineer, visited the station
and ordered suspension of the latter job
until certain errors of construction were cor
rected by the builders and the building for
mally accepted by the government.
During the fog and drizzle of last Friday
night quite unusual number of small birds
were killed by striking the lighthouses. AT
the eastern Cape light about fifty dead ones
were picked up, and this, too, after four cats
had been gorging themselves all night. Sew
eral ployer of the yellow leg variety were
among the slain.
Elder Jones, with large party of his
church people from Deering and vicinity,
had picnic on the light station grounds
Friday. The pleasure barge Forest Queen
was their conveyance.
Renewed agitation of the proposed Cape
life saving station brings to the front lots OF
aspirants for places in the crew. The keep
erss berth is especially coveted, albeit any
seat in the life-boat flom the stern sheets to
bow oar, will be eagerly taken. One thing
is certain the Cape can furnish smaterial for
life-saving crew that in point of physique
and boating experience will be second to
none in the service.

Broad Cove, while engaged hewing a piece

NOW THE MORO CASTLE.
Another Schooner SeIzed-canadian
Bait Not Needed by Our Fleet.

HALIFAX, Sept. 13.-A telegram from Port
Hawkesbury says that the American seiner
Moro Castle, Capt. Joyce, was seized at
Port Mulgrave by Collector Bourinott The
North Bay with 40 barrels of mackerel. The
dispatch says that she was seized for SNUG
Cling and other violations of the customs
laws, but the details are not given. The
cruiser Houlett is on the marine railway az
Port Hawkesbury, and Collector Bourlnott
borrowed one of her boats manned by Fist
Officer Hughes and crew from the cruiser
and rowed across the Strait of Canso to Port
Mulgrave, where the vessel was lying, and
seized her The collector and cruisers crew
remained on board all night, and this morn
ing took, the Moro Castle across to Port
by Captain Nauss, who was at Port Null
grave in another schooner owned by him,
the Belle A. NauSS, on his way to the bay
for third trip when the seizure was made.
The customs department left the, case OF
the Everett Steele, captured at Shelburne, to
the discretion of Capt. Quigley, who decided
to release her without fine. Skipper Forbes
was asked if he had felt being deprived Oh
Canadian fresh bait to any extent TINS sea-
son. The American captain replied, None
whatever Squid have been so plentiful on
the banks that would not have bought her
ring bait if could. Squid is handler bait
than herring, because the former is taken
fresh on the ground, while the latter has to
be carried on ice, as you know: But the
handling of the squid is bad for the men, as
the poison that the bodies of the fish con-
tains affects their hands seriously"
s'Are your fishermen now more favorably
disposed to treaty than in the springY
'sAs far as / can see the events of the sea-
son here have made them more opposed to 1t
than ever before. When fish are down at
bottom prices the exaction of fines and loss
of time are not calculated to pacify the
minds of either fishermen OF owners.

A Hard Battle in Old York.

SAco, Sept. 13.-Today has witnessed the
fercest political struggle York county ever
saw. From returns to midnight it is impos-
sible to determine the result Twenty-one
towns heard from give Clifford lead over
Reed of 122. The other six towns are about
even politically. The difference between
Reeds and Clifford's county vote is about
so, and the indications point to the election
! of the Democratic county officers, except
clerk of courts, James o. Hewey of Alfred.
The Republicans are sure of eight represent
atives, the Democrats of five, and two doubt
full. Split tickets have interfered greatly
with the counting of the returns and mes
sengers expected from doubtful towns have
not yet arrived.

The German Reichstag.

LONDON, Sept. 13-The meeting. of the
German Reichstag is. awaited with much
anxiety. Nobody believes that the business
of the session will be limited to discussion
of the Spanish treaty. 1t is reported that
Prince Bismarck, in explaining the European
situation, will seize the occasion to convey
frank warning to France. The North Ger
man Gazette and Others comment on what
they term the belficose manifestations of
France They denounce General Boulanger's
project for organizing the French army as
measures that menace Germany. Further
reason is given why Bismarck should direct
attention to France. 1t is asserted that he
will adopt this course in order to divert the
minds Of the people from the unpopular
feeling regarding. Russia, and to obtain a
renewal of the military septennate and the
sanction of the Reichstag to increased war
charges, among which is the cost of produc-
tion of the new repeating rifles. The fac
tories in which these rifles are made have
been working night and day and have ac-
cumulated a stock of rifles sufficient to arm
1900, 900 men, the number that win be in
cluded in the next mobilization, and there is
large surplus stock besides.

FROM BATH.
Trouble in the New England Ship
Yard.


BATH, Sept 13.-The workmen in the New
England Ship Building company's yards are
on strike on account of the cut down in
wages Only eight men out Of rs continue
work at the iron works, and four out Of 175
are busy at the shipyards. Superintendent
Hyde of the iron works says that the compa-
ny will stand by the determination to make
the cut down in the yard. Vacancies will be
filled as fast as possible. If the men stay
out long they will not be taken back. Those
wishing to work will be protected. There
is no feeling against the men on the part of
the directors Of the company and no discrim-
nation is made against men wishing work
on account of belonging to the Knights of
Labor. If the strike subjects them to much
annoyance and expense the company may
close up business entirely. The men in the
iron works are somewhat dissatisfied with
the action of the Knights of Labor, but feel
bound by the action of the assembly. One
man, not Knight, quit work also. he states
that he left Boston to go TO Bath, to find
work and got it, but he does not care to be
called a "scab." He will take his tool chest
and 20 back to Boston. The strike is the re-
suit of meeting of the Knights of Labor
Saturday evening, when it was decided to
90 out, all active means of settlement having
failed. The Knights of Labor this morning
issued the following notice:
The machinists, pattern makers, and boil
er makers in the employ of the New Eng
land Ship Building Company are standing
out in sympathy with the wood workers en-
ployed by the same company, whose wages
have been reduced 25 cents per day. All The
workers in the above trades are requested to
keep away from Bath until this matter is
settled.
The following notice was posted at the
iron works this morning:
Certain foolish statements have been made
by unprincipled persons, it is proper to state
that the iron work department of this COM
pany will be run as usual, and all employees
wishing to exercise the right to work will be
properly protected, and that loyalty to the
Company's interests will be duly appreciated
by the management.
