on the whites was in contemplation.
Orders we're also received by Charleston

FOREIGN FLASHES.
Orderly DemeanOr of the
London Strikers.
MASS MEETING IN HYDE PARK.
Noted Churchmen Sympathize with
the Strike Movement
News from Samoa.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
LONDON, September 1.-Two thousand
coalheavers and bargemen employed by
Parker & Lambert have joined the strik-
ers. The Council of Strikers held meet
ing last evening, and, after long dis
cussion on the situation, decided to con-
tinue the strike. A monster meeting of
strikers was held in Hyde Park this af-
ternoon. Mr.. Burns, the socialist agi-
tator and other labor leaders made
speeches. Resolutions declaring that
the men would continue to strike until
their demands were fully conceded we're
unanimously adopted. The enormous
crowd dispersed in an orderly manner.
Cardinal Manning sent mes
sage to Hyde Park to request
Mr.. Burns to visit him. In compliance
with the invitation Burns called upon
the Cardinal after the meeting, when
His Eminence expressed admiration ct
the excellent order maintained, and con-
graduated Burns upon the general good
behavior of the strikers.
A mass meeting of dockmen and 9TH
ers was held at Southwark, at which the
proiect was mooted to form a separate
committee for South London, in order to
have better voice in the conduct of the
strike. Mr.. Quelch, as leader of the
Social Democratic Federation, denounced
the manifesto calling for general strike; /;
but for that he believes the dock d.
rectors would have yielded to the strik-
ers' demands.
Canon Liddon. of st. Paul's, has SUBJ
scribed to the relief fund. IL q sermon
at York today, Canon Fleming expressed
sympathy with the strikers
1t is estimated that Is 900 persons took
part in the demonstration at Hyde Park.
\ During the progress of the meeting
Burns and others passed through the
crowd and took up collection for the
benefit of the strikers. Money was re.
ceived in hats and open parasols, and
a large sum was obtained. An Ameri-
can gentleman who was present gave
a::handsome donation. In an interview
Burns said the strike committee had de-
cided not to have procession tomorrow.
They propose to devote the day to real
work, especially to improving the
methods Of collecting funds.
Five thousand railway men held 9
| meeting at Darlington today and decided
to strike unless shorter hours of labor
were granted.

A LONDON paper is of the opinion that
the United States has no exclusive title
to Bering sea for the reason that Russia
had no such title to convey. Our Eng
lish friends will be obliged to do some
r7cS:: .L1Ney w1n fnu tnaJ hussla always
claimed, asserted and maintained the
very rights we are now contending for,
and that we are her successors and as
signs. 1t is the duty of this Govern
meut to maintain al our rights in
Alaskan waters. The seals are not
fish, they are animals. They are
born on American soil, and are
ours wherever they roam. While in
Alaskan waters they certainly are
not trespassing on British possessions,
and the people of Great Britain have no
right to hunt or molest them wherever
found. Blackstone long ago laid down the
rule that doves from mans cote we're his
property although they might fly fifty
miles from home. Rabbits from a war
rem could not be shot even while tres
passing on the lands of neighbor. That
is a principle of law we must maintain
in reference to seals. Indeed, it would
seem as If our Government owed it to the
people of this Nation to 60 further, and
maintain our right to all sorts of
fishing in the waters of Alaska.
Ships of other nations may be
allowed to pass through those waters
on their way to the Arctic seas, but all
in the Alaskan sea proper is
ours. The sea is not great inter-
national highway. 1t is not necessary
to the commerce OF the world. It is a
closed sea to all proper intents and pur-
poses. Foreign war ships ought to be
excluded from those waters.

BONDS VS.. LABOR.
Judge Gresham Decides an Import.
ant Railroad Case.

CHICAGO, September Last Saturday
Judge Gresham rendered q decision in
the case of the receivership of the Indi-
annapolis, Decatur and Western railway.
The case has attracted much attention,
because the receiver, after his appoint
ment, devoted the surplus earnings to
the payment of the interest on the first
mortgage bonds, leaving labor and sup.
ply claims to the amount of $4,000 un-
paid. 1t appearing that the receiver had
bsen asked to maintain the interests
of the bond holders to the dis
advantage of the claims for labor, the
order of appointment was set aside. Ger
tain recommendations or suggestions
were then made by the Court and con-
tinued with leave to complainants to
amend their bill. The suggestions were
not acted upon, and the Court. holding
that the receiver had been made the de-
fendant for the express purpose of Great
ing jurisdiction, Judge Gresham has now
thrown the case out of court. The de-
cision is long one but is formal in char
acter, and interest lies wholly in the re-
suit reached and it's value as prece-
dent.

If THERE is to be any excuse for the
law forbidding the carrying of concealed
weapons, or any reason in the statute,
the strongest must be found in the rigid
enforcement of the law. As it is in
nearly all States in the Union, the stat
ute remains dead letter on the books.
1t is seldom that an arrest is made under
the law, and still more infrequent is the
punishment of the person who violates
it. Besides, the power to grant permits
sion to carry weapon is 80 loosely exer-
cised that any one can get that leave,
and SO the law falls to the ground. The
Executive who allows any man to carry a
weapon should be perfectly sure of the
necessity and wisdom of granting
such permit. A good way to
enforce this carefulness would be to make
the grantor particeps criminis in every
overt act committed by the person 80
privileged. That may be an extreme
view to take, but there is merit in it, if
closely studied. Here are the negroes
in the South; hot blooded, ignorant, led
by passion, without moral restraint, and
all of them are learning to 60 armed to
the teeth. In a country where they are
six to one in majority, this is a very
dangerous thing. AT picnic away
down South in Dixie yesterday there
was very interesting little episode
when train full Of darkies began turning
in their leaden pepper boxes on the
crowd. The man who carries weapon
is usually the man who should not be
allowed to do so and the peaceable, sell
possessed man who might be trusted moi
to use the weapon wantonly is always
unarmed and prey to the tough, the
blackguard, the hoodlum, the thief anc
the killer. The law ought to be repealed
or enforced.

paper of the fur seal. This treats
briefly on the habits of the seal, and will
make plain how easy it is to extirpate
the animal at any given point. The seal
is timid as result of helplessness. He

THE GOaEBIC ROBBER.
No Law to Hang Him but a Mob
Ready 10 Do the Job.

MARQUETTE, Mich, September IL
Holzhay, the Gogebic stage robber, was
taken south by the Gogebic Sheriff on a
train this afternoon. The prisoner was
defiant and his demeanor showed him to
be ready for any desperate deed. 1t is
expected that if he is not very closely
guarded he will make a determined at
tempt to escape. A great crowd congre'
gated at the depot to see the noted ban
dit. Holzhay did not relish their scru-
tiny and remarked to the officer with
him: eff had my guns and was free
they wouldn't be so anxious to get close
to me-"
To the officers who guarded him last
night. Holzhay admitted that he was the
man who went through Milwaukee and
Northern train, near Ellis Junction, last
May, and afterwards held up the passen.
gers on Wisconsin Central train, and
robbed several stage coaches in Northern
Wisconsin, besides committing many
minor depredations.
The driver of the Gogebic stage last
week, was brought here today by the
Sheriff and Immediately identified Holz-
hay as the man who did the job.
HIS ONLY REGRET.
The only regret Holzhay expresses in
connection with all his criminal career
is that the two officers at Republic
effected his capture 30 easily. He says
he was determined not to be taken alive,
and had he the slightest inkling of their
purpose when they we're approaching
him, he would have shot both down un.
hesitatingly. The proof against the man
without his admissions to the officers is
complete, and unless he escapes from the
officials or succeeds in suiciding, he il
booked for life term in the Stats
Prison. Capital punishment was abol
ished in Michigan number years ago
