A PECULIAR CASE.
A spiritualist, Prepared for Burial,
 Shows Signs of Lif..

DETROIT, April 11.-Dr. Hownrd Simossds, one of the most distinguished Spiritualists in Michigan, died here two days ago. He had been ailing for some weeks, and returned from visit to a sanitarium but a few hours before his death. Arrangements for the fu- neral went forward till yesterday, when friends who called to take last look at Simonds as he lay in his coffin thought they detected signs of life in the slight color in his face The body was taken from the coffin and brought into a room where it now lies.
 The chill of death is gone, his limbs are re- faxed and the expression of his eyes when opened is bright and ifelike. Dr. Simonds' spiritualist friends believe him in trance, which condition was frequently assumed by him in his medical practice. The funeral will be deferred until his death is unques- tioned. There is great deal of excitement and interest in the case, and leading spiritual ists from all over the state are on their way to see the doctor in his present condition. Many people affect to believe that Simonds could at any time will his trance away, but add that he had often declared he would die in that condition by preference.

Capturing an American Schooner, with
 Japanese Crew, He Hauls Down the
 Stars and Stripes and Runs Up the
 Black Flag.
 WASHINGTON, April 11.-United States Consul c. R. Greenhouse, of Kanagowa, Ja- pan, has just advised the state department of a more or less alarming condition of affairs in the Japan sea, where the small contingent of the United States navy doing duty on that station is engaged in chasing pirate bold in the person of James Forbes an enterprising Yankee sailor, late mate of the Nereid, but now master of the low, rakish craft with which he recently ran away from the port of Guam, Japan. The Nereid is a trim and tight little schooner of about thirty tons bur den, owned in the United States, and, until seized by Forbes, sailing under the American flag. Her captain, Charles Johnson, halls from Massachusetts, and his little vessel was trading in the islands south of Japan
 One fine morning in March Capt Johnson anchored off Guam, and, leaving the mate in charge of the schooner. went ashore to buy a box of hard tack.
 served out to himself quadruple allowance of grog, under the influence of which he con ceived the idea of becoming buccaneer on his own account With visions of the glor- ious career of Capt Kidd fitting through his befuddled brain he went below and brought up a loaded shotgun, which he playfully pointed at the Japanese cook and steward of the Nereid. The cooks yellow countenance turned white as his flowing shirt, and running | to the side of the vessel he cast himself into the sea, unmindful of the sharks, whose fins i could be seen above the water on every side. He was quickly followed by a Japanese sailor, who preferred the chance of leg to the certainty of carrying skin full of holes, and | the two swam safely ashore. Left in sole command of the schooner, Forbes ordered his little crew of shiyering, chattering Japanese on deck, and pulling down the Stars and 1 Stripes ran up a section of an umbrella cover, which did duty as the black ensign of his newly adopted profession. Then, setting all sail, he shot out of the harbor in quest of prizes, presumably bullion laden junks and beautiful but hapless maidens of high degree.
 Fukuda, the cook, and his companion lost no time in hunting up Capt. Johnson and acquainting him with the facts. They then set out for the American consulate at Kama gawa, where they reported its occurrence to Consul General Greenhouse The consul at once communicated the facts to Commander Glass, of the United States steamer Monocacy, which happened to be lying in that port A circular was then prepared describing Forbes and his little craft and sent to all the | ports of China and Japan

He said: "I find that the men are as deter mined as ever, and from information have received am prepared to state hat the Bur- ington road is not doing so much business as it claims. After full and careful considera- tion of every point involved in the matter the Brotherhood has determined to sustain the striking engineers in their fight just as long as they are willing to continue the con- fict" He believes that the stockholders will soon rebel against the r1inous policy of the present management, and insist upon a ehanpa

OTTAWA, April 11.-Sir Charles Tupper last night moved the second reading of the bill to give effect to the fishery treaty. He declared the treaty permanent, just and equitable settlement, honorable to~ both countries No Canadian right had been sac rificed to imperial pressure, and Canada standing alone could never have made so fair a settlement The treaty would pave the way for broader commercial intercourse be- tween Canada and the United States, though unrestricted reciprocity he characterized as impracticable, and the commercial union which the United States desired could never be accepted by Canada.
