Concerning France he said: at is mani.

great irritability on the part Of the French

clared their country would be a good deal

be found. Soon afterward four other fires
were started in different parts Of town.
The incendiary fires yesterday were
serious. The conhagration in Pierce's
clothing house was well under way when
discovered. but hard work saved much
of the stock. Before the firemen had left
the building another alarm was rurg in,
the fire being this time in the Cottage
Hotel on Main street. Here also the fire
was we'll under way when discovered and
the inmates had barely time to escape.
The fire spread to the Nevada House and to
. livery stable, both of which were de.
stroyed.
Last night the streets were patrolled by
armed men, and il the persons who set the
fires can be caught they will be promptly
lynched. Saloons and gambling houses
have been closed and no one except the
guards are allowed ON the streets after
ten O'Clock. The loss by yesterdays fire

THE FUR SEAL FISHERIES.
Necessity Of Restricting the Fisheries II
the Behring Sea.

Necessity OF Restricting the Fisheries In
the Behring Sea.
WASHINGTON, Sept 19.-Information has
been received here from Canadian sources
to the effect that the fishermen Of British
Columbia are quite as much interested in
the preservation of the Alaska seal fisher.
les as Americans are and that they would
be willing to join in any measures the OBJ
ject Of which would be to perpetuate the
fisheries. This question may ultimately
have some relation to the complications as
to the Behring sea fisheries seizures which
have arisen between the United States and
Canada. 1t appears that the track of wa.
ter highway in which the Canada schooner
Thornton and her boats were seized by
the United States revenue cutter is directly
in the line of waters in which the fur seal
are plenty. Canadians themselves admit
that il these waters were opened to the
world to fish in the fur seal would soon be-
come an extinct animal. The zeal of the
hunters to capture all the seal they can is
conCciled in that region by the regula-
tions Of the United States Government
which are designed to preserve the ami
mails SO that only the natural increase will
be captured. II, however, the waters of
the Behring sea should become q common
highway for all fishermen the result would
undoubtedly be the speedy destruction OF
the fur seal fisheries.

A DEAD BURGLAR.

A Burglar Meets His Death While Plying
His Vocation in st. Louis "A Young
Druggist's Sure Shot.
ST. LOUIS, Sept 20-As Emmett Layton
and his brother Alvin were lying in bed
last night, in the rear Of their fathers
drug store at Grand and st. Louis ave.
nues, they were aroused by suspicious
sounds coming from the direction of the
door leading to the cellar. Promising
that a burglar was attempting to effect an
entrance, both Of the young men reached
under their pillows for pistols which re .
posed there, and simultaneously fired at the
door. There was q dull thud rs though
some heavy body had fallen down the
stairs, then scrambling and a running.
The young men hastened to the back
door, which they reached in time to see a
large man emerge from the coal-hole Of
the cellar. Emmett gave the fleeing figure
q parting shot and returned to bed. This
morning the body OF the burglar was
found not far distant. with a jimmy By
his side and other appliances OF his
profession on his person, but his identity
has not been discovered. He had been
shot through the body, just above the
heart death resulting from internal
hemorrhage. On the dead mans left
arm were the figures 1852" tattooed in
blue ink; he would weigh about two hun.
dred pounds and had q struggling sandy

THE ALASKA COMPANY.

The Alaska COMPANY Charged with Mo-
nopolixing the Entire Trade OF Western
Alaska, to the Detriment Of All bus
Themselves.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Chester Seeber,
formerly United States Commissioner
for Alaska at Ounslaska, sent the House
committee on merchant marine letter
yesterday concerning the Alaska COM
pany and the seal fisheries which tho
committee now has under consideration.
In this letter he claims that the company
uses the power of its contract with the
Government to monopolixe the whole
trade Of Western Alaska; to Cypress the
Inhabitants Of that country, cnd to retard
its development All commerce with
this part Of Alaska, he says, is done
through the rivers and Behring sea at
the instance Of the company, and any
vessel found there is searched, and any
furs which it is found to contain, in what.
ever manner obtained, are seized and
sold. This, he says, prevents trade wi
the country, and results in most cases in
irreparable loss.
Mr.. Seeber also accuses the company
Of freezing out n competitor by raising
the price Of skins above the London
price and lowering them again when thu
competitor had been driven from the
field. The company, he says, prevents
the development Of the adjacent country
by discouraging prospectors and miners,
and refusing to sell them food when they
are in need. The letter was read before
the committee yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Mcintyre, the Superintendent Of
the company, said that the company had
paid a rather high price for furs when a
rival appeared in the field, but he
thought this legitimate. He said that
Seeber owed the company two thousand
dollars for rent and money borrowed
when he left its emplov.

the coRlMrn CANAL.

-Four NILES Long anA - Cost About 9fx
llnllons Of Dollars.
Good progress is being made with
the canal across the Isthmus Of Corinth,
which is being constructed by . French
company. The company has received
liberal concessions Of land from the
Government, there being however a
proviso that there never shall be any
claim for subsidy ON behalf Of the
contractors. The canal will measure
close upon four miles from sea to sea,
with q width of 1S1 feet, and will be
excavated to the depth Of twenty-six
feet below the sea level, mostly
through solid rock. and the expendi-
ture will be Fl zoo, 200. The depth Of
water will be the same as in the Suez
canal. The work is being prosecuted
by $500 men, and is expected to take
three years rom now for its COM
pletion. The appliances used at pre-
sent include fifteen engines. each
drawing from sixty to seventy trucks.
At the western end of the canal, ON
the Gulf of Corinth. are situated all
the large depots and offices of the
canal company. Here q new town is
growing up, called Isthmia. The
depth of water q short distance from
the shore is thirty fathoms. The
work is most irksome and expensive,
the canal having to be blasted rather
than excavated. The sides of the
canal are of solid granite, and there
will consequently be no washing away

the canal will be fixed at low figure.

Chamberlain on Irish Home Rule.


LONDON. Sept. 20-At . breakfast given
at Bradford to-day by the Radical Union
lists Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain said that he
did not see why the Irish should not have
local government, though his experience
had shown him that, whether at Dublin,
New York or Boston, Irish government
was always inefficient and corrupt
He said that he once thought the
Liberals and Unionists could reunite
on feasible policy, but now the schism
was daily widening. An alliance with
the Conservatives would depend upon the
adoption Of principles which were above
party interests. The government had
consulted the wishes Of the Unionists in
stead of differing with them. and Mr.. Bal
four had unqualifedly approved Of their
policy. Only q reactionary policy was
the distrust Of the present alliance.
