The Bolaooner Minnie Continues Fishing
 After Prise Crew Has Becn Placed on
 Boara-Canadlan Vessels Arrive nt Vic- E toria With Big Hauls of seal skins-Ju- bilatssa Over tho Safe Return of Do minien schooners.
 V1cToR1A, B. C.. Sept. 4.-The schr. Minnie, Captain Jacobsen, has just arrived in port from Behring Sea. The captain reports that early OH the morn ing of July Is, the Rush bore down and boarded him. Lieutenant Futile came aboard with four sailors and asked him for his papers. Captain Jacobsen gave them to him. Lieutenant Futile then searched the ship and discovered 450 fresh skins in the salt room, took pos- sessionsof them and tranSferred them all to the Rush. Then after an hours waitina he told Swensen, an able sea- man, u take her to Sitka. He gave Swenseh letter to the United States Consul. and then took off all the guns and spears he could find and left.
 As soon as the Rush was out of sight Captain Jacobsen had Swensen brought to him.
 Look here," he said, ''I am under contract with my Indians to fish in this sea for 50 long, and I'm going to do 1t. You can do as you like"
 ''Swensen, who is little more than 9 boy, answered nothing, and did not at tempt to stop further proceedings. The Indians at once started to make fresh spears, and the next day went sealing. After this they captured 800 fresh skins and nine sea otters. Then, hearing that the cutter was running around lively, Captain Jacobsen got up anchor, and got out of the sea on August 17. He had g fair passage to this port. There Is great jubilation over her return.
 This morning two more schooners were sighted. They proved to be Annie C. Moore and Ariel. Captain Hackeet, of the Moore, reports that on July 3 he got to thesea and at once started fishing operations and continued them unmo- tested. He did not sight the Rush at all and brought down 1, 800 skins. He spoke the Maggie Mac, with catch of 500 the Mary Ellen, with catch of 1000 and the Viva, with 1,eo0, and all doing we'll. The latter Is outside of Cape Flattery and is expected every hour.
 L. Swensen, the. prize crew of the Minnie, says that he was given 8 sealed letter with instructions to take the boat to Sitka, but was powerless to enforce the order against twenty-one men. He saw the United States Con- sul yesterday, and will go to Port Townsend to-day to deliver the letter to the District Attorney there.

DUPED BY A DEMON.
A Diabolical Plot Against Rob-
 ert Ray Hamilton.
THE GREAT CRIME CONFESSED
Forced Into Marriage by Child Bought
 for Ten Dollars. -.

The Arrest of Mrs. Swinton and Her Sos
 Joshua Mann Discloses Q Conspirac1
 Against Robert Ray Hamilton-His Al
 leged Wife an Adventures and g Dis
 reputable women-She Purchased Foul
 Babies from Midwives and Two Die.
 NEW YORK, Sept 4.-The sequel un deriving the attempt of Mrs. Rober, Kay Hamilton to assassinate her maid at Atlantic City has at last been told. The disclosure abounds in startling sen, sations, intrigue and revolting criminal practices on the part of this scheming adventures, who, while confined in prison at Mays Landing, charged with attempted murder, continued to blind the eyes of too-confding husband un. til his friends stepped in and engaged Inspector Byrnes to investigate her record
 On Monday sufficient evidence had been gathered to warrant the arrest ot Joshua Mann and his mother, Mrs. E. A. Swinton, who, while confined in police headquarters yesterday, confessed to their connection with the diabolical plot and furnished points for Inspector Byrnes to work on, and he quickly un. earthed the details of conspiracy be- tween Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Swinton and Joshua Mann to force Mir. Hamilton to marry the first named.
 AS part of the plot, Hamilton was made to believe that child was born to him December IT, 1888, at Elmtra. He married the woman three weeks la- ter. The Inspector has found that the babe was procured for ten dollars from midwife.
 The first baby procured soon died, and second was obtained. This ono also died, and the third one was so homely that the woman would not keep it. She got fourth one. Though Hamilton had seen the first baby, he never knew the difference, and has been regarding the fourth bought child as his own. To legitimize the child he married the sup posed mother.
 In each place where child was pro. cured, the detectives took Mrs. Swinton, and in each case her story was corrobor- ated. The several physicians who at tended the children made affidavits to that effect, and the records in the Bureau of Vital Statistics gave the deaths.
 Inspector Byrnes has located the mother of the child, Beatrice Ray Hamil. ton, within stones throw of Police Headquarters. He refused, however to divulge the name of the woman at pres ent, but has told MT. Hamilton, who will, no doubt, visit the woman and make some arrangements to care for the child. The little one has entwined it. self around his heart strings, and the possible loss. of the child grieves him. He is resolved upon punishing the woman to the fullest extent of the law for conspiracy, bigamy and wit1ful ne- glect of children purchased like slaves. The unfeeling midwives who sold the children will probably be arrested to. day.
 MT. Hamilton's affection for the ad venturess who so entrapped him has turned to anguish from the very thought of the disgrace and publicity which the unfortunate affair has brought upon him. He has denounced her and will at one institute proceedings for absolute divorce.
