Vote to Grant IL Franchise to Build a

! fenced to Nearly Ten Years in Sing
Sing prison-A Stay of Proceedings Re-
fused.
New YORK, May 21.-The Court O,
Oyer and Terminer was filled, yesterday
morning, with spectators anxious to hear
Judge Barrett pronounce sentence upon
Alderman Henry w. Jaehne, who was
convicted of bribery in connection with
the Broadway Surface railroad fran
chise. After Judge Barrett had
taken his seat, the district attorney moved
for sentence to be passed on the prisoner.
General Pryor, OF Jaehne's counsel. made
a motion for an arrest of Judgment upon
the following grounds: First, that the in.
dictment was insufficient in substance;
second. that the count in the indictment
upon which the verdict was returned is in.
sufficient to sustain the verdict, and,
third, that because in law there can
be no judgment upon the Indictment and
verdict. Counsel also moved for a new
trial upon two grounds; first, misdirection
OF the jury in matters of law, and because
the verdict was contrary to law and
against the evidence. The motions were
both denied by Judge Barrett, and the
counsel then took an exception to the de-
of each motion.
Judge Barrett then sentenced the prison.
er to nine years and ten months in State
prison.
After the sentence General Pryor began
an argument before Judge Daniels on the
motion for a stay of proceedings pending
appeal in the Jaehne case.
After hearing further argument for and
against the application, Judge Daniels de-
MED the motion for a stay. Jachne was
at once started to Sing Sing. His
sentence, allowing communication for good
behavior. amounts to six years four
months and TWENTY-FIVE DAYS.

THE FISHERIES TROUBLE.
The State Department at Washington IN
Receipt of Official nesar"-
ing the Seizure of the Adams.

! The state Department at Washington In
Receipt of Official Information ReEara-
ing the Seizure of the Adams.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-Thc report OF
Consul-General Phelan respecting the
seizure of the d. j. Adams was received at
the State Department yesterday morning.
He states that the David j. Adams started
from Gloucester for Eastport, Me-, and
went from there fishing on the banks,
returned to PASSPORT, and thence
went to Digby basin. He reports
that Captain Kinney's business in Dighy
seems to have been of a purely personal
nature. He did not go there to buy bait
or trade in any way. He was there Tour
or five days without doing any thing. 1t
was while on his way out of Digby basin
that Il Canadian offered hin the baitwhich
he bought. 1t was, of course, bait which
is used for deep-sea fishing.
When the Lansdownestopped the Adams
Captain Scott did not seem to have deter
mined to seize the Adams. -Four visits were
made to the Adams, and much aggravat-
ing conversation seems to have occurred
before the Adams was seized. The Cana
dams did not seem to know either why they
had seized the vessel or what they ought
to do with her. The Lansdowne
took her to st. John, n. B., then
Apph S"h osS
must be libeled in the jurisdiction
where she was seized, Captain Scott tool
her back to Digby. and finally, there be-
ingno good reason why she should be kept
at Digby, to Halifax. where she was
libeled. All this time no information was
vouchsafed to either Captain Kinney or
Consul-General Phelan as to why the YES
sci had been seized, In fact, the complaint
has never yet been received.
Secretary Bayard submitted the report
to the Cabinet, and it was discussed to the
exclusion OF other subjects. The first step
of the State Department will be to give
Consul-General Phelan the assistance of
the best legal advice he can get. The
David j. Adams will be defended in the
admiralty proceedings by lawyers retained
by Consul-General Phelan for the
United States Government. Mean.
while the Secretary of State has
brought the facts to the attention OF the
British Government. with whom alone
he can deal, with q request that the Adams,
which the Secretary asserts had ~ perfect
right to do what she did in Digby basin
under our Legislative arrangements with
Great Britain, shall be released. Great
Britain has the power to arrest the admi-
rally proceedings at Halifax and is expect
ed to exercise it. Ii she does not exercise
it in time to prevent the condemnation
and sale of the vessel she will be required
to pay for it as she did for the George
Washington in 1853.
