Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN Francisco, August 2S.-George
Bridget, second officer Of the steamship
Oceanic, testified to-day before the Naval
Court appointed by the British vice.
consul to inv estigate the Oceanic Chester
collision, that he blew the whistles sig
mailing the City of Chester to starboard
her helm. This signal was repeated and
answered twice, yet the Chester appar-
emily came on without altering her
course. When the vessels met he, with
four Chinese sailors, launched boat and
endeavored to save some of the Chester's
passengers. The boat was sunk, and he
was picked up by one of the Oceanic's
crew. When he first saw the Chester
she was half mile away, going about
eight knots an hour. He believed if the
Chester had starboarded her helm as
signaled, no accident could have hap
pened.
John Athias, quartermaster of the
Oceanic; Robert Metson, carpenter, and
Chief Engineer Allen, of the Oceanic,
were also examined.
Second Engineer Brolly, who was in
charge of the engines at the time of the
collision, introduced his time-card in evi-
dence, which showed that the Oceanic's
engines had been going astern for nearly
two minutes before the accident occur
red, and that the Oceanic did not steam
ahead to keep its PROV in the hold of the
Chester.
Pilot Louis Meyer, who took charge of
the Oceanic at o'clock on the morning
of the accident, thought that if each
steamer had complied with the signals
to starboard there could have been no
collision. After the collision the engines
remained stationary and both steamers
drifted together till the Chester went
down. He thought the officers of the
Oceanic did all that was possible to save
the lives of those on the Chester. He
exonerated the Oceanic from all blame,
as did Louis Eckler and Thomas Mirk,
engineers.
This completed the testimony before
the Court, which will render its decision
tomorrow.
Before the local inspectors this after
noon, Nicoll Ludlow, lighthouse inspec-
tor, testified that he believed that strong
tides caused the accident, and he had
seen vessels with their helms hard to
starboard thrown out of course by the
current. He instanced the case OF the
United States tender Madrone, which
had an experience almost similar to the
Chester's about four months ago. He
considered the place dangerous for navi.

in the rejection of the treaty relative to
the Fisheries negotiated with Great
Britain, acted in accordance with the
dictates of just patriotism and correctly
asserted American rights and the Ma
tional honor, while the message of Pres.
dent Cleveland transmitted on the 23d of
August is confession that his Admins
tration has been grossly negligent of its
duties in the protection of the American
fisheries, and has invited new annoy
ances and aggressions on the part of the
Canadians by his failure to make a
manful protest and to employ peaceful
means of self-defense.
The Republican party favors foreign
policy which shall do no wrong to the
weakest neighbor and shall brook no in
dignity from any power on earth, and by
shall, through justice, insure peace with
all nations.
The Republican party unequivocally
in obstructing by veto acts measures for

the liquor question, especially in passing
an act nullifed by such executive action,
to restrict that traffic by charges
which would lift some of the burdens of
taxation caused by the liquor traffic from
the home and the farmers, and believed
that such charges should be advanced by
standards similar to those successfully
enforced in other States under Republi-
can control.
Recent investigations make clear the
necessity for the effectual enforcement of
the law for the prevention of the import
alton of contract labor. The National
administration is previously at fault for
its failure to guard against the degrade
ton of American labor.
The Republican party demands further
legislation to prohibit the influx Of

just and disastrous. In view of
recent revelations showing the abuse of
our naturalization and immigration laws,
we desire and urge thorough revision of
said laws, in order that the country and
our fellow citizens may be protected from
the paupers and criminals of other coun-
tries.

The Seal Fisheries.

WASHINGTON, August 2S.-The Alas
kan seal fisheries investigation was re-
sumed to-day. The general thread OF
the testimony was in keeping with that
previously given. Morgan, an employee
of the Alaskan Company, said that he
thought ii the Government opened up
that part of Behring Sea, the jurisdiction
over which was ceded to the United
States by Russia as highway to the
ships of the world, the result would be
disastrous to the seal fisheries. All YES
sells entering Behring Sea, he thought,
should be required to enter at the Gus
tom House at Ounalaska, there to state
their purpose of entering and to give
bonds not to violate the laws of the Gov
ernment in those waters.
