JUDGE FULLER CONFIRMED.


ny a Vote of Al Yeas to 20 Nays.
Chief Justice Fuller was confirmed after
two hours and half debate in the senate on
Friday. The yea and nay vote stood Al for
confirmation to 20 against Eight republi-
cans voted for confirmation. They were
Messrs. Cameron, Cullom, Davis of Mime
Spooner. Messers Stewart and Jones of
Nevada and Mitchell Of Oregon would prob
ably have voted for confirmation had it not
been for the conclusion they bad arrived at
that MIR. Fuller was not good friend of the
silver interest This charge was the burden
of speech which Mr.. Stewart made against
the confirmation.
The other speeches against confirmation
were made by Messrs. Edmunds and Evarts
Both took the same line. Both dwelt on the
fact that Mr.. Fuller was democrat during
the war and quoted from the record Of the
Illinois legislature to show that Mr.. Fuller
had sympathize1 at least with advanced the
cries of state sovereignty, and had also
failed at times to consider the war q success
In addition both went out of their way to
say that they did not consider Mr.. Fuller a
man Of sufficient caliber for the chief justice.
ship.
The speeches in favor of confirmation
were made by Messrs. Farwell and Cullom,
Tue Two lTOHl NIL uIloT Stdte,
Both enlarged upon his high character and
ability, and the standing he had at the bar.
Both pronounce him in every respect fit for
the place to which he had heen called. Both
spoke severely Of the effort to trump up
charges against him.
None of the democrats took part in the de-
bate. They took the ground that Mr. Fuller
ought to be confirmed as a matter Of course;
that he ought to receive every vote, and that.
q xva of on on bo
republican side, it ought to be settled by the
republicans. Messrs. Farwell, Cullom, Frye,
and other republicans who voted for MIR.
Fuller, telegraphed him their congratulations
this evening. 1t is thought that Mr.. Fuller
will not take the oath of office until the su-
preme court meets again on the first Monday
Of October.

SEAL IN THE CHARLES RIVER.
A Large Specimen Killed Near the
GaIen Street Bridge, Watertown,

A Large Specimen Killed Near the
Galen Street Bridge, WATERFOWL.
Two young men Of Watertown, Mass,
were reclining on the bank Of the Charles
river just below the Galen street bridge in
that town, about o'clock Wednesday after
noon, when they observed large head that
appeared to be the head of seal moving
slowly up stream. They Immediately mott.
fed Daniel L. Keefe, who lives in
the vicinity, and who is employed
as a driver by Howard Bros, the ice
dealers. Keefe took down his rifle, hastened
down to the river bank and found that the
seal had gone up stream about 100 yards
from where it was first seen, and was, at the
time about 800 feet below the bridge TAX
ing careful aim, he fired at the seals head,
and Immediately the large animal sunk out OF
sight. Jumping into his boat, he pulled out
to the spot where the seal had gone down, and
succeeded, with considerable difficulty, in
pulling it up out Of the water, which at this
place was only two or three feet Deep Get
ting it into his boat, he rowed back to his
boat house and landed it there. An exam
nation Of the animal showed that the bullet
from the rife had gone directly into one of
the seals eyes and through the head, killing
it instantly. 1t measured feet inches
from the tip Of its nose to the end Of its tail,
was about loot across Its back ar ~.c'Rhed
nearly $50 pounds. Mr.. Keefe stripped - of
its skin, which is heavy brown RS npiry.
and is quite valuable He proposes to ',~1s
a vest made Of it, and will bury the bodv CT
the seal. A large crowd visited his aoat
house, and Mr.. Keefe very naturally took
good deal of pride in his handsome capture,
for the animal was truly handsome one
and an excellent specimen of its species. It
is the first one ever known to have been seen
in the Charles river, and its presence so far
up stream as Watertown-the head of the
tide water-can hardly be understood, and
can only be accounted for on the ground that
the seal unwittingly floated into the river
and I'D stream with the incoming tide.

fields Persecution.
Inspector Bonfield Of Chicago has in his
possession copies Of what purports to be
secret newspaper, but which is in reality a
secret circular differing but little from the
famous revenge" circular with which Au-
gust Spies called the fatal Haymarket
meeting together two years ago last May.
The main difference is that the paper,
which is called the "Revengc," calls for
active steps on the part Of old time anar-
chists to avenge the 'blood. thirsty murder
Of the martyrs Spies, Parsons, Lingg,
Engel and Fischer. The paper is
being distributed secretly among the
Anarchist groups, and, although it purports
to be printed in foreign land, it is really
issued in Chicago. Certain articles are
printed In three languages, and urge that it
is absolutely necessary that all true Anarch-
lists should take immediate and vigorous steps
to inlimidate the opponents of monopoly,
and thus prevent similar "murdersn
1t is said to be not improbable that
