Timber Cutters.

G.. l.. Emb ey was yesterday ar
rested at San Bernardino by Deputy
United States Marshal Hayes on a
charge Of cutting timber on Govern
ment land. He was taken before
Commissioner Van Dyke, and his
bonds we're fixed at 5000. Mr., Em-
brey alleges that in 1885 he took up a
quarter section of land in what is
known as the Old Road Canon, and
when he was about to locate there
was notified by Governor Waterman,
who owns an adjoining tract, that his
road would be cut off. Notwithstand-
ing this notification he commenced to
clear and occupy his land, although
he has not yet received a deed OF it,
as the survey has not been accepted.
His road was shut off by fence by
Governor Waterman and he has sew
eral times destroyed this obstruction
and was once arrested and fined $5 fol
it. He says he can prove that he
never cut more timber from the tract
than the law allows. A. B. Benson
was also arrested and charged with a
similar offense.

thought an earthquake had occurred,
and rushed to the scene. The fire
was quickly extinguished by the de-
partment. The two workmen in the
basement we're found very badly in
jured, and three or four clerks in the
store above were injured internally.
One of them, George Dunlap, when

on hot fire register and was thrown
fifty feet, landing on pile Of goods.

THE FISHERIES CORRESPONDENCE.
OTTAWA, Ont, April 16.-In the
House of Commons tonight the cor
respondence with reference to the
Behring Sea seizures was brought
down. Most OF it deals with protests
against the British Government. State
ments had been made by Bayard that
for the time being no other seizures
would be ordered, and the advice of
the Crown that the owners Of seized
vessels would have case
for damages. The only new or import
ant matter is contained in the dis
patches from Lord Salisbury to
Her Majesty's plenipotentiaries at
the Fisheries Conference, under date
of December 2, 1887. He said he re-
ceiyed on the 28th of November a
telegram from Mr.. Chamberlain in
quiring whether the proposal for an
international conference in regard to
the Behring Sea fisheries had been
accepted by Her Majesty's govern
ment. "You are aware from CORE
spondence in your possession that
communications with reference to the
proposal would appear to have been
addressed to some maritime powers
of the United States for an interna-
tional convention for the protection OF
vessels in Behring Sea and
were received last October from
the German and Swedish Charge
d'Affairs in London. No definite
invitation for an international under
standing on this question has yet been
received from the United States Gov
ernment by Her Majesty's Govern
ment. answer to the question from
Phelps, l have expressed myself as
being invariably disposed to negotiate
for an agreement as to the close OF the
season in all seal fisheries to whose.
ever belonging, but I carefully sepa'
rated the question from all contro
versies as to the fishery rights"

from which this evidently is selec
