essary for the protection of the seal
fisheries.
S. n. Buynigsky, an agent of the
three months on the island of st.
George, and some time on the islana of
st. Paul, i'm 1871 and 1872. was called as
the first witness. He said that while ON
st. Paul island he had excellent oppor-
tunities for studying the character Of
the people. He found them to be
GOoD-NATURED AND PEACEFUL.
The terms of the contract with the
Alaskan company required that the
company should look after the peoples
interests. He had no reason to make
any observations to the agent of the
company with regard to the same. The
company had issued an order that there
should be no greater advance than IS
per cent on the commodities of life over
the wholesale prices at San Francisco.
He was satisfied that there was no de-
parture from this rule. Mr.. BuynigSky
said that while he was at st. Paul the
terms of the company'S lease had been
fully complied them. Witness was
satisfied that the government itself
could not have operated the seal fish,
cries with as much profit at the time of
the lease as by giving them out by con-
tract. The only grievance the natives
had was the attempted suppression by
the agenlS of the company and those of
the government of the practice by the
natives of distilling a beverage which
the agents regarded as poisonous. The
company had given all its work to the
natives at fair compensation. There
was considerable gambling among the
natives, and some of them would stay
up two or three nights in succession for
the purpose. No employee of the COM
pany had engaged with them in this
practice.
The probable effect of opening up to
competition the seal fisheries, the wit
ness said, would be to drive the seals
from the Alaskan islands to the Rus
sian seal islands, and the people of the
livelihood. and have to be supported by
the United States government.
IL. A. Glidden, also an eX-agent of
the treasury department at the seal
islands, from May, 1882, to July, 1885,
was next examined. He described the
natives at the time of his stay there.
The condition of the people, he said,
compared favorably with that of labor
erS in this country. The moral habits
of the people were good. There was
NO BREACH OF THE PEACE
10 speak OF, ana no necessity Tor civil
officers. The great evil existing was
the propensity of the people to gamble.
1t was their great failing. No intoXi-
eating liquors were allowed to be sold.
His observations were that the laborers
were paid better than any other labor
ers in the world. From an almost bar
barous state under the Russian govern
ment the islanders had been brought up
to state of standardization under the
influence of the American government.
His opinion was that if the fisheries
were thrown open to competition the
seals would become extinct in five years.
The policy of leasing the privilege of
taking seals was the very best policy
that could be practiced by the govern
ment. This concluded the examination
for the present, and the committee adj
journed subject to the call of the chair
man.

BoSTON, Aug. 1.-THE Blaine party
was not astir until late this morning.
and several callers on Mr.. Blaine were
denied. Addresses of congratulation
from Republican club at

wOrkingmen at East Cambridge
were presented to him at latter hour.
At. II 80 delegation from the Home
Market club was admitted to confer

was no demonstration en-route.
When the carriage reached the station,
there was large crowd present and it
was with difficulty that a passage was
cleared by the police. Mr.. Blaine on

away Mr.. Blaine appeared on the plat

thanked the people for their kind
recognition. The train then moved out
on its way to Augusta. On his trip
homeward to-day Mr.. Blaine was greet
ed at every station by large crowds. but
confined his remarks to a few words of
pleasant greeting at each place. There
was an especially large crowd at Port
land, and this was the only place where
Mr.. Blaine left the train, but he said
only few words of greeting and thanks.
Augusta was reached at S:45 p. IL. 1t
is impossible to describe the enthusiasm
manifested here. 1t seemed as if every

tumutuous cheers, addressed the enthu.

WILKINsON's NOMINATION.

The nomination of Hon. MORTON S.
WILKINSON as the Democratic congress
sional candidate in the Second district
is conceded even by the opposition to
be strong one. MI. WILKINsoN's
large and varied experience in public
life, his familiarity with public affairs
and political questions, his well-known
ability as a campaign orator, and his
Identification with the agricultural in
terests of the state all combine to make
him strong candidate. He starts into
the canvass with big majority to over
come, but with a cause that appeals so
directly to the interests of the people,
champiOned by so capable an advocate,
there is no reason why this majority
should not be overcome, and the Second
district align itself with the other four
districts of the state on the side of tariff
reform and tax reduction.

Persons From the Infected Dis

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 14.-Three
persons supposed to have yellow fever
passed through Louisville this morning
en- route from Jacksonville, Fla, to
their homes in Ohio. They went to Jack
sonville last spring for their health. and
when yellow fever became epidemic
by energetic measures and robust mis-
representations, made to quarantine
officials, made their escape. They are
accompanied by an official of the Louis
vile IL Nashville railroad, who was also
in the infected district, and

He has not yet shown any symptoms
of fever, although he was for time
with Lon Tuttle, passenger agent of the
Louisville 81 Nashville for Florida, who
died at Jacksonville Friday The officials
wife and others supposed to have been
less dangerously exposed were also in
the party. When they left Jack
sOnville Saturday none of them were
ill, and the only fear was that they would
not be able to get through the lines.
Before they reached Waycross, Ca,
however, one case of fever had devel-
oped and the victim was put off at
farm three miles south of Waycross.
Inc party stopped at several quarantine
stations. but everywhere denied that
they had been
EXPOSED To THE FEVER.
They report that such measures as
are possible are being taken to relieve
the situation at Jacksonville, but the
board of health is partially demoralized
and lacks money and material to
fight the epidemic. The sanitary
condition of Jacksonville and Florida is
not so bad as supposed, but with the
epidemic fairly started and the heat
ranging from 90 to 100, nothing can
check the fever and ravages before
frost.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 1.-THE gov
ernments of New Zealand and New
South Wales have opened negotiations
with the Canadian Pacific railway for
the establishment of line of steamers
to ply between those colonies and
British Columbia in connection with
the Canadian Pacific railway for the
transmission of mails now carried to
San francisco by the Oceanic Steamship
company, for which service the New
Zealand and New South Wales govern
ment pay an annual subsidy of e30,-

has just granted yearly sub
sldy of 945,000 to the Canadian
Pacific for line of steamers to run be-
tween Hong Kong, the Sandwich
Islands, Japan and British Columbia, is
DESTROYS that the Canadian route as
means OF communication with Aus
tralia and New Zealand should be
adopted, and is disposed to further SUBJ
sidize the Canadian Pacific if it will un-
dertake to establish line of steamers
for that purpose. A commissioner OF
the Dominion government has recently
returned from New Zealand and Aus
tralla, where he was sent to inquire into
the possibility of opening up with these
colonies. The Dominion government
has agreed to handsomely supplement-
any subsidy the Canadian Pacific NAV
receive for that service.

JACKSON, MISS, Aug. IA tragedy
at Utica Sunday night was followed by
lynching last evening. E. B. Robert
son, accompanied by young lady, was
walking to church Sunday evening,
when they encountered six negroes on
the sidewalk, who, instead of yielding
the sidewalk to the lady, pushed her in
very rude manner. Robertson remon-
strated and was cursed by the negroes,
who said they would ''get him" on his
return from church. Robertson was
joined by three or four of his friends and
was telling them of the conduct of the
negroes, when his party was rushed
upon by the six negroes, who began fir
ing on the whites, the latter being I'M
armed. DR.. l.. w. Holiday was shot
through the head and will die. Armand
White received serious wound through
the thigh, and Frank Wallace was shot
in the arm. All the negroes escaped
except Bob Broom, the ringleader,
who, it is known, shot Holiday. He
was taken out of the calabooSe last
evening by mob and strung up to
tree near the cemetery. Ike Broom,
brother of the negro who was lynched,
and Sam Harris were captured and car
ried to the Raymond jail. The others
are being pursued, and, if caught, there
may be more lynching.
