CONFESSED HIS CRIME.

Conscience Drives Belgian Murderer to
Confess His Crime.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-A wealthy mer-
chant named Vandeal was murdered in
Belgium last March at Langerberg, near
Ghent on the banks of the Canal Ternen-
sen, his skull being crushed. He was
robbed of 800 francs sad his body flung
in the water. The murder was mystery
to the authorities. Light was first thrown
on the tragedy August %, at New Orleans,
La, when a black-haired, swarthy fellow,
who looked like q trambS delivered himself
up to the representative of the Belgian
Government and declared that he wasjthe
murderer. In a sworn confession before a
notary he said his name was Jean Fran
co.'s Steyart, and that he had murdered
the merchant expecting to realize a big
sum of money and had thrown his body
into the canal. He then fed to America,
and after being in New Orleans few weeks
his conscience troubled him so much that
he had to make clean breast of it. He
wanted to be sent back to Belgium for trial.
The Belgian Consul at New York was at
once communicated WITH and the MUIR
derer, who was in the custody of the Off
GERS, was sent to New York. United States
Deputy Marshal Bernher, in behalf of the
Belgian Government, met the party in
Jersey City on the arrival Of the Cincin-
natl express on the Erie, and the prisoner,
on the presentation of the necessary pa
pers, was handed over to him. Steyart,
who is thirty six years old, presented the
appearance of thoroughly broken down
man. His clothes were ragged, and he
carried with him the clothes of the MUIR
dered man to be used against him as evil
dence at his trial.

Alaska Seal Fisheries.

'WAsHINGroN, Aug. 29.-The Alaskan fur
seal fisheries investigation was resumed
yesterday. The general tenor of the testi-
mony was in keeping with that previously
given. T. T. Morgan, an emploge of the
Alaskan company, said he thought that
if the Government of the United States
opened up that part of the Behring sea
the jurisdiction over which was cetsed
to the United States by Russia as high
way to the ships of tie world, the result
would be disastrous to the seal fisheries.
All vessels entering o Behring sea. he
thought, should be required to enter at the
custom house at Ounalaska, there. to state
their purpose of entering and to give bond
not to violate the laws and regulations OF
the government in those waters

The Origin of the Trouble on the Maxwell
Land Grant-An Original Claim of DC. 600
Acres Expanded to 1,s5O.OeG Acres-Too
Much Elasticity to Suit the :,ettlers.
@ DENVER, Col, Aug. 27.-TfIe trouble at
the Maxwell land grant has been brewing
ever since the Supreme Court of the
United States confirmed the title to the
grant. The grant was originally made by
the Mexican Government to Beaubian
and Miranda, two Mexicans, who were
given two square leagues or $4,000 acres
of land, providing that they would Guilt
yate the same. The boundaries OF tho
grant now3 contain 1,750.O00 acres. The
manner in which the grant grew to its
present proportions is Onee OF the
causes OF the TT ouble. The set
tiers living within the boundaries Of
the grant charged that the origin al
property was enlarged by fraudulent
means. The highest tribunal in the
Land Department has held, however.
that there was no fraud, asad refused tc
set aside the patent granted by Congress.
Hundreds Of settlers shave improved
homes and lived there SO many years that
they considered themselves rightfully in
possession, and look upon the threaten ed
ejectment as an oUtI age. Soan after The
decision of the court. the grant people
proposed to purchase the settlers i'm.
proVementS anu lStosh al lie
market price, after which they
were TO vacate or they would Sell
them the land at reasonable figures.
Many settlers accepted the proposition,
and sold out or purchased land at q price
from 81. 30 to SO an acre. The grant com.
pany. claim to treat the settlers justly,
but charges have been made that in many
instances settlers have been asked to pay
exorbitant prices for premises upon
which they have been living for many
years. The settlers are now up in arms
being led to it by the incendiary talk o:
evil-disposed persons. They are under
the impression that they are fighting fo2
their homes and families.
