A DEFECTIVE STATUTE.
A Flaw Found I'm the Contract Labor Inv
which Renders II Imperative.

a fIaw Fouun IN the COntraCL LhDor LII"
which Renders II Imperative.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The treasury
department has discovered serious de-
feet in the law to prevent the importa-
tion of contract labor. 1t was made
while the case of the twenty-five glass
blowers imported by Chambers 81 Nc
Kew of Jeanette, Pa, was under con-
sideration. The original law provided a
punishment for those who imported la
borers under contract. but made no dis
position Of the laborers. The Fiftieth
congress, in the last days of the first
session, amended the law by inserting q
provision for the return Of the laborers
at the expense of the steamship company
which brought them over. However, it
did not give jurisdiction in such cases
to any court, and officials of the treas
ury department say that if arrests
should be made under it, writ of ha-
beas corpus would lie in each case. This
renders that portion of the law approved
October 10, 1888, entirely imperative,
and laborers imported into this country
under contract can remain without let
or hindrance. The cases Immediately
affected are those of the Pennsylvania
glass blowers, and the Texas granite
workers, which have been before the de-
nartment recently.

yet beenimade public ty Secretary Noble.
1t is said by the Indian Office that the

agreement in the settlement of the claim
Of Renville against the government.
The whole matter then will be submitted
to congress, and the opening of the res
ervation depends upon what action is
taken

Montana Fires Checked.

HELENA, Mont, Aug. 2l.-A heavy
rain, general throughout the territory,
fell all Sunday night, and the forest fires
which have been raging for the past
week are checked in most places and put
out in others. The fires originated from
two causes, lightning and campfres, and
millions of feet of the most valuable
lumber in the territory have been de-
stroyed, as well as ranges burnt over.
Owing to the drouth this has proved an
incalcuable loss to stockmen, who have
had to seek pasturage for their herds
and fiocks in remote localities, driven in
some instances to the British possessions
and the Indian reservations, where they
are charged good round sums for grazing
privileges.

CANADIANS FURIOUS
Over the Reported Seizure Of
the Sealers Pathfinder
and Minnie.
Both Vessels Head for Victoria In.
stead Of Sitka with Their
Prize Crew.
Their Arrival Expected Momentarily--
An Indignation Meeting Called
by the Mayor.

VICTORIA, Aug. 22.-Capt. Agar. of
the sealer Allie Algar, just arrived here
from Deep bay, reports as follows: On
July 30 We were boarded by the cutter
Rush in Behring Sea, fifty miles from
st. Paul. The captain searched us, but
though we had skins aboard found none.
He told US that on July 20 he had seized
the schooner Pathfinder. of this port,
put prize crew aboard her and sent
her to Sitka, taking out 800 skins. He
also told us that he had seized the
schooner Minnie, also Of Victoria, Capt
Jacobs, the owner aboard, with $50
skins. He also put crew aboard her
and sent her to Sitka. He also told us
that he had overhauled the schooners
Ariel and Therese, and although he
found skins aboard them had let them
60 out Of the sea without molestation.
He did not give his reason for this.
Intense Excitement Prevails
in this city. Both schooners are well
known here and their catch is a very
valuable one, The Algar had 800 skins
when boarded. 1t now appears that on
the trip down Capt. Algar sighted first
the Minnie and then the Pathfinder,
each with one man as prize crew
aboard. Both signaled their intention
of not going to Sitka, but of coming to
Victoria, 80 that within twenty-four
hours we may expect to see them in the
harbor. When Lieut.. Tuttle went on
board the Algar several of his sailors ex-
pressed themselves as heartily sick of
their work. A public indignation meet.
ing has been called by Mayor Grant.
The captain has been closeted with the
American vice consul for two hours.

MONTANA MENACED.

The Whole Territory Suffering from Un-
precedented Forest Fires.
HELENA, Mont, Aug. 19-Forest fires
which have been raging all over Mon
tana for three weeks, have destroyed
hundreds Of thousands of dollars worth
of timber and have reached most
alarming proportions. A gentleman in
from northern Montana reports that the
ranges in Chonteau county, which have
heretofore escaped and on which cattle
men were depending to keep this winter
thousands of head of cattle, are on fire,
and all the big companies have their
men out trying to suppress the flames.
Men are out in that section trying to save
the feed. but
Small Streams Dried Up
and the fire leaps over them as quickly
as it travels on the open prairie. In two
days the fire Travelled over a section
sixty miles wide and a hundred miles in
length. In Deer Lodge county the town
of Georgetown is surrounded by fire
and a strong wind has brought the
flames within five miles Of Phillipsburg.
The mill of the Bimetallic Mining COM
pany near that town is in great danger,
and the fire is travelling toward it with
great rapidity.
CONSERVATION at Georgetown.
Couriers who arrived at Phillipsbcig E
from Georgetown at midnight reported
that the utmost CONSERVATION prevailed
in town, and large force, was organ
lied to go to the rescue. In the Yellow
stone country the pineries fire covers an
area Of eight miles and 10 spreading rap
idly. Ranges in that country also have
been almost entirely destroyed, the fire
extending nearly from Miles City to
Glendive. A letter just received from
Forsythe says Henry Casey, J. p. Harri-
son and two cowboys recently from
Texas, who were out fighting the Gre in
that vicinity, are missing and 1t is
feared they have persisted. The entire
territory is covered with q dense cloud
of smoke, which sun cannot penetrate
until heavy rain comes.

Sheriff Jones is In receipt OF a letter
from one John Bell, of Pittsburg, Pa,
from which it appears that the man
known rs Harry Brown, who wss
killed by Alfred Brazier near Powder
vile last summer, was Bells son and
whose right name was Chas. T. Bell.
The elder Bell ascertained this fact
through Walter Linville, of Powder

worked for a number of years unde,
the name of Brown, but while there
had kept up a correspondence with
his father under his proper name.
Linvllle was acquainted with the cir.
cumstances Of the killing and when
the elder Bell wrote him enquiripe
about his son who had worked for him
30 long, he knew az once that Brown
and Bell were one and the same, and
80 wrote the father the particulars OF
the sad affair. The father now writrs
