The Captured seaIer Black Diamond
Sails caIIy Away for Home.
a Peculiar Performance on the Part
Of the Rush.

VICTORIA, b. c., August A. : There Is
great excitement here. The Black Diamond
arrived last evening from Behring Sea. The
particulars Of her seizure by the American
revenue cutter are as follows: "On July II,
we got in a catch Of So seals and at p. IN.
we sighted the revenue cutter Rush. She
came up to us and ordered us to heave to.
We did so. The chief officer came aboard
and demanded our papers. We refused TO
give them up and he then got a screw-driyer
and screwed off the hinges on the locks In
the cabin. He took the papers and Is seal
skins. all the Indian spears and 10 bags Of
salt Then he put John Hawkins, an able
seaman, aboard, with instructions to US not
to interfere, as sailing master. AS soeR as
the Rush was lost sight Of. southwest course
was steered right for Victoria. Hawkins
from the start saw it was impossible TO at
tempt to take charge Of affairs In his own
hands, and consequently lay In his bunk
nearly the whole time, not attempting to In
terfere."
John Hawkins, the American seaman.
says he was treated kindly by everybody.
When he was put aboard the schooner he
said to his officers: "Instead Of taking her to
Stka they may go to Victoria" They did
not answer him.
Mr.. Hammedy, collector Of customs here.
said he Is of the opinion that when Hawkins
was put aboard the Black Diamond. the
people on the Rush did noticare whether
she came to Victoria or not as long as she
got out of the sea and stopped destroying
seals. Hawkins has told everything to the
Amerieal consul here, who has wired the
Washington authorities about the matter.

sTAMPEpED THE CROWD.
A Short Campaign Led by Ugly Old
Sitting Bull.
A sIoodIess Battle Interrupts Pro-
ceedings at Standing Rock-The At
tackIng Party Worsted-The Indians
Sign Rapidly.

STANDING Rock, OAK, August 4.-The f.
nal council was held yesterday with all the
chiefs present but Gall and Running Ante
lope. John Grass made very nice speech.
When the signing was about to begin Sitting
Bull, who had come up with his band mount
ed on their ponies, entered the circle and
asked to talk. This being considered too
late he was refused. He retired in anger
and when John Grass, Mad Bear, Big Head
and Deer Face had signed the bill, being
the first names, he ordered his young men to
stampede the crowd gathering around the
tables. A rush on horseback was made
which scattered the crowd right and left.
By the prompt action of Agent Mclaughlin
the attempted disturbance was quelled. A
strong force of police was soon placed
in position and several young
braves were taken into custody.
After this Sitting Bull retired to his lamp
followed by his band. This little episode
over, the Indians again congregated about
the tables and the signing went on as rapidly
as four clerks could identify and inscribe
the names.

POLICE OF THE SEA.
The Latest Bit Of Interesting iRead-
Ing In a Canadian Paper.

TORONTO, Ont. August 3.-The Empire,
chief Dominion government organ has been
watched with interest during the past few
days for some government inspired utter
ance on the Behring Sea seizure. This morn
ing the paper says under an editorial headed
PIRACY IN THE PACIFIC.
The Americans In the Pacific claim right Of
search in the high seas outside their territorial
waters and to act as international police for the
preservation Of seals that may have intention of
resorting to their territory. They commit acts of
piracy founded on no other claim but this for
they have not officially claimed the recognition
Of such an absufdity as their having territorial
rights over extensive portions of the North Pacl-
fic. Their politicians and jurists abstain from
stultifying themselves by such reversal OF their
formal intentions.
This piratical conduct Of Washington authori-
ties in the Pacific means an attempt to intrude as
far as possible on the reluctance OF more civil
lied nations to resort to force, as street black
guard knows that he can steal a few roadside ap-
pies and hurl few abusive epithets at the gen.
tleman owning them before provoking chastise-
ment.
United States authorities, perhaps largely influ-
enced by paid agents and lobbyists of the mon0p-
oily whom the governor OF Alaska has officially
reported to be active at Washington, seem deter
mined to show that patience aud consideration are
quite out Of place and should be abandoned for
resOute action.

GREENFIELD THE VICTOR.
A Hard Fought Battle Ends In the
DervIsnes' Defeat.

CAIRO. August 3.-Gen. Grenfell engaged
the dervishes near Toski today and complete
ly routed them. Wad-elJumi, the dervish
leader. was killed. The dervish loss was
1900 killed and wounded. The Egyptian
loss was slight.
Besides Wad-el-Jumi, the slain on the der
wish side include twelve emirs and nearly all
the fighting men. Fifty standards were cap
tured by the Egyptians. Gen. Grenfell
marched out of Toski at 5 o'clock this morn
ing with strong accommodating force Of
cavalry and "camelry" and advanced close
to the dervish camp. Making feint of re-
treating he drew the whole Of Wad-el-Jumi's s
force to point within four miles of Toski.
Here the Egyptian infantry were held in
readiness for an attack and general action
was at once began. The dervishes made
gallant defence, but were driven from hill to
hill. The Egyptian cavalry made success
ion OF effective charges in which Wad-el-
Jumi and the emirs were killed. After seven
hours hard fighting, the dervishes were
completely routed. Gunboats are following
the scattering remnants of the dervishes'
force along the river. The crisis of the bat
tie was reached when the dervishes attempted
to turn the extreme right of the Egyptians.
The steadiness OF the troops was admirable.
The cavalry here swept through the lines of
the enemy breaking them up.

SENATOR HALE TALKS.
Ne Does Not Believe Serious Trouble

BOSTON, August A Herald reporter
has interviewed Hon. Eugene Hale at Els

mittee on relations with Canada did not
take testimony on the Behring Sea question
when on the Pacific coastHe felt the subject
was Immediately in the hands of the State
Department, and likely to be the subject
of negotiations with the British gov
ernment. He came away from Victoria
strongly impressed with the view that no
serious trouble was likely to arise between
Great Britain and the United States on ac-
count of any local feeling on this question.
He does not understand that any announce
ment, official or otherwise, has been made
committing our government TO considering
Behring water as closed sea. He believes
efficient measures will be taken to protect
the fisheries, and sees nothing In such step
offensive to Canada or England. de thinks
such step will be La the common interest OF
all neighbOring people.
