GREENLEAPs KIND HEART.
CannOns Were Not Fired and Bait
Was Only Bought from Pity.

CannOns Were Not Fired and Bait
Was Only Bought from Pity.
BOSTON, MASS, June 1.-THE schooner
Lizzie Greenleaf, one of those booked for
seizure by the Canadians for buying bait
and violation OF the treaty, arrived to-
day. Capt. Greenleaf stoutly denies the
story that after stealing bait at Fox
Island he sailed down the bay flying
bunting, firing cannOns, blowing fog
horns and shouting defiance to all the
Canadian cruisers.
why" said he, 'swe could hear the
grass growing on shore. 1t would not be
likely that a man would fire a cannon
when he was going to steal bait, / went
into CansO, but Collector Young told me
that under my touch and trade permit
could not enter or buy bait. The Collector
and the people treated me kindly.
stayed there only two hours. When
going out of the bay that night a man
came alongside in a boat with bait and
urged me to buy, saying, when l declined,
that he had no other way to make lIv-
ing. Taking pity on him, l bought his
bait and went direct to the Banks, where
| got 80, 600 pounds of halibut."
Capt. Greenleaf SAYS the warning of
Americans from provincial ports is a det-
riment to the Canadians rather than
Americans, and that the people all want
American vessels to trade with. A num-
ber of mackereI fishermen lately arrived
bring no fish, and report seeing none.
The schooner James and Ella went into
St. MarY's bay to land the Captain and
was ordered out by cruiser.

A Regular Spouting Country Discov-
cred Near the Red sea.


WAsHINGToN. June 14.-Complete re-
ports arrived at the State Department to-
DAY in regard to the discovery of oil in
Egypt. The information has been seut to
the Oil Exchange in New York. In short
1t is as follows; Mr.. Daboy, a Belgia n
engineer, has made a full examination
and report on the rece tly discovered oil
fields in the region OF the Red sea. The
whole peninsula OF Gemsah, where the oil
was discovered, is of volcanic struc-
ture. and there is not the slightest trace
OF either vegetation or fresh water
to be found. The first borings were made
at distance of only 400 feet from the Red
sea, and at distance of only 156 feet
from the surface perfect fountain Of Pc
trOleum was struck. 1t overhowed and
Hooded the neighboring galleries. 1t is
estimated that 5000 barrels of the liquid
came forth in "A hours, and continued at
the same rate. The petroleum is OF dark
greenish color and is limpid 1t is mixed
with salt water and discharges carbonic
gas. By allowing the fluid to rest for a
few hours the salt settles and can be re-
moved. The analysis of the crude oil
shows that it contains from % TO 20 per
cent. of pure oil.
The country around the wells is wholly
unlnhablted and nearly uninhabitable,
owing to the absence Of drinking water
and vegetation. All provisions must be
brought from Suez. The climate is salu-
brious, however, and the frequent north
west winds render the heat less insutfera-
BILE. Already steps have been taken to
fully develop the new industry. The
Egyptian government is very much elated
over the discovery, and Is disposed to do
everything necessary. Jetties had been
begun, so as to allow vessels to load at the
wells, and the crude oil will be taken to
Cairo for refining.

they would get in il they had TO break in,
when the woman pushed the barrel OF
44-calibre revolver through the Stats OF
the shutter and thre ateued to shoot them
if they did not 60 away.
The officers were not dismayed, but
started to break the door open. The wo-
man fired two shots through the door and
swore to kill the first man who stepped
across the doorway. The officers persisted,
and, breaking open the door, rushed in
and dspOssessed the woman OF the pistol.
Then they started to search the house, but
at the head of the staircase they were
confronted by Chandler armed with a
double barreled gun. who swOre he would
Kill the first man that stepped up the
stairway. Marshal Barring drew his pis-
tol, sprang up the stairs and seized the
gun. James Cow was found in an up
stairs room. He jumped through the

supposed TO summon help, but he was
seized and secured.
The posse then went to Colwell's house
and arrested him, the whole party return

and Chandler have been arrested on
similar charge before. There has been
much moOnshining in Susquehanna

RACING WITH FLAPPING SAILS
The Priscilla Again Proves the Best
of the Big Four.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE regatta OF
the New York Yacht Club to-day was
repetition OF Tuesdays race, in that the
wind was very light and that it was i'm
possible to correctly judge the respective
merits of the giant sloOps. The Priscilla
again proved herself to be great boat in
MINDLESS weather, but what she can do In
blow was not at ali demonstrated. The
work of the Atlantic was admired on
every hand. She started off last and
under unfavOrable conditions, yet she
landed second among the big four. The
Mayfower was not in first rate trim for
the race, so her performance cannot go as
II basis for complete judgment as to her
capabilities. What she did do was not
satisfactory, and was considered cranky.
The Puritan did not do as well as was
expected OF her even in light winds. The
general opinion was that she was
not handled properly. 1t was
conceded by all hands, however,
that the Priscilla showed astonishing
merits outside of Sandy Hook, where
there were several spasms Of good breeze,
both in pointing and footing. Two or
three times during the day the race was
a drift, the wind having died entirely out.

pie and complete reconciliation betWt en- all
sections of the land are CONSIDERABLY aud
