AN ENGLISH VIEW.
The British Columbia War Sentiment
Has no Effect on the Government.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. Although San
Francisco is the headquarters for lot Of hun
ters and whalers who scour the northern seas
every summer the seizure of the Black Dia-
mond has not excited much feeling here. One
of the most prominent Englishmen on this
coast said yesterday: "All this war sentiment
comes from the residents Of British Columbia
and has as much eject on the home govern
ment as would the claim of one of its subjects
to the exclusive possession of America. En-
gland recognizes that the seal fisheries must
be protected for its own interests as well as
Americas. The British sealers, as well as the
so-called independent American sealers, use no
discretion in carrying on their hunting, and, as
England knows too well, will, if permitted to
continue, ruin the northern seal fisheries in
few years. While the British government does
not come outright and decide against its own
subjects, yet you can be assured that the gov
ernment would like to see the United States
government enforce its laws as far as protect
ing their interests is concerned. The piratical
seaiers have, since 1885, decreased the number
of seals in the Behring sea one-thixd and in
three years more will kill the sealing industry"
A member of the British consulate says that
England is sure to stand in with America in
protecting the sealing business. The Alaska
fur company, which has sounded the British
representatives long since, is of the same
opinion.

FATAL RAILROAD COLLISION.
An Engineer Had Been on Duty Thirty
Hours without Rest

OXFORD, ONO, Aug. Ia collision occurrel
last hight on the junction branch Of the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton aud Dayton railroad about
two miles east Of here, between the regular
indianapolis express east bound and an engine
running wild. The result was the death Of one
OF the firemen and the probable death Of two
more. The engines were total wrecks
All the passengers, some fifteen or more, e.
capped without injury, but the conductor and
brakeman were thrown forward and scratched
about the face. The engineer OF the Wild
engine, John Dougherty. was running back 10
connersville and says he forgot all about the
regular train. He had brought back 90 Hamil-
ton lot OF empty gravel cars and took orders
at Hamilton 70 follow No. S6, the vest bound
Indianapolis express. He claims that he had
been on duty for thirty hours without any rest
His fireman, Charles Lee, was killed in the
wreck. Charles Pugh. the baggage master was
caught in the debris Of his car aud cut out BY
the train men and passengers He had one
leg broken and was badly cut and bruised Dan
Brsnnen, engineer OF the passenger train. 10
probably fatally injured He inAaled the
steam and has his leg broken. Lee potty hre-
man on the passenger, had his right leg horri-
bly, crushei Engineer John Dougherty was
bruised, but he escaped very serious injury by
jumping. The accident seems to be due en-
tirely to the forgetfulness Of the engineer of
the wild engine.

POSTMASTER PAUL.
He Wants His Resignation Accepted-A
Special Agents Investigation.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA special TO the Herald
from Milwaukee says: Postmaster Paul re-
fuses to talk for publication about his resgns-
ton further than TO say he hopes it will be
accepted, as he has wanted TO get out for some
time. Congressman Van Setback says the
resignation is not to take effect until Septem-
ber 80, so there is no hurry about a successor
unless the President desires 10 expedite mat
ters. W. A. NOVEL; will have the Office il be
desires it. There is a shrewd suspicion here
that Mr.. Paul STANDS in wholesome fear Of re-
port that may be made by q special agent who
was here last week looking over charges of
Irregularities in the Office made by DR.. Maginn,
formerly superintendent of the carriers
system. Mr.. Paul has claimed sor some time
that he is thoroughly yindicated from the
charges made by the civil service commission,
but he has been silent about the special agent
whom he is reported to have had ''Shsdowed"
all the time he was in the city.

doubtedly took her to Canada.

THE CAPITOL GROUNDS,
Recommendations of Fred. +. Oimstead
in His Annual Report.

The annual report of Fred. E. Olmstead,
landscape gardener to Mr.. Edward Clark,
architect Of the capitol, is as follows:
''The lower parts of the terrace of the capi-
tol have been completed, the grading and fin
ishing of the slopes in connection with them
have been continued, and plantations have been
made along the base of the structure. The
thinning andreadjustment of other plantations
have continued as the expansion by growth of
the earlier planted trees and shrubs has given
occasion.
''The plantations have, with the exception of
few trees, been very healthy and their rate Of
growth continues to be remarkable. The pro-
posed construction of the ventilating tower and
air duct on the Senate side of the capitol will
require the removal of a considerable amount
of earth. which 1 recommend to be disposed of
in such manner as to provide for a little larger
unduiation of the surfacepf the slopes below
the line of walk which the air duct will cross
and which leads northwardly from the foot of
the western staircase. This will be an improve
ment that would have been made sooner but
for the necessity of bringing the material from
q distance"

JAPAN AND HER TREATIES.
She Hesitates Proceeding with the Pro-
posed Revision on Account of China.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The correspondent Of the
Standard at Shanghai is informed that Japan
hesitates to proceed with the proposed revision
OF treaties defining the statutes of foreign resi-
dents, fearing that if the privileges sought by
England, the United States and European ma
tions are granted China will demand the same
concessions which Japan is very unwilling to
grant.
The general opinion is that America and
Germany have been too hasty in pressing re-
vision at this time and that England has shown
a wise moderation in waiting a more fitting
time 10 push her claim.
