Baltimore and Jake Kilrain laugh
ed long and loud and made a good
deal of fun of Detective Norris and
his mission, but the Detective at last
landed Kilrain in Jail, and Baltimore
feels very much depressed over the
turn affairs have taken. The Detec-
tive didn't like to hurt the tender
fighting feelings which Baltimore
cherishes so deeply, and his
chivalrous Southern soul responded
by using salt freely to catch his bird.
FORT MONROE, Va, Aug. 6.-The
report of Kilrain's arrest by Detec-
tive Norris is unfounded.

The seizure of the Canadian sealer
"Black Diamond " in Behring's sea
by the U. S. Cutter &c Rush" still
continues to be talked about IN the
newspapers and the Canadians are
excited over the seizure. One thing
may be set down as certain, the adj
ministration is determined to carry
out the law, and every vessel caught
illegally taking seals in Behring's sea
will be seized. Representative
Farquhar, of New York, who was a
prominent member of the Con
gressional Committee which made
the investigation of the seal fisher
les that led to the enactment of the
law under which this seizure was
made, is now in Washington. Speak.
ing of the seizure and its probable
outcome he said: This country will
go right on asserting and maintain
ing its jurisdiction over the Behring
Sea fisheries, and England can't say
a word in earnest about the matter.
Russia stands ready to make good
our title declared by purchase from
her, Great Britain cannot afford to
antagoniZe two great nations-Rus.
STA and the United States. There is
no doubt about Russia's disposition
in the matter. They guaranteed us
a title and England cannot seriously
question that title without antagoni
zing Russia. If she went into a
fight she would have two antagonists.
This is all we'll understood in Eng
land, as well as in Russia and
America.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.

Baltimore Sun.
The outcome Of the election IN Vir-
ginia Is the complete of bliteration Of
Malone and Of tho hopes based on his
success. Large gains were made by the
Democrats in every part Of the state,
with the result that Captain Mckinley 10
elected by majority of phenomenal pro
portions, with a Legislature strongly
Democratic in both branches. The disas-
tor is in fact. overwhelming. Even the
Southwest. the section OF the state that
contains the major part Of the white Re
publican strength. has gone against
Malone and the policy Of federal inter
ference which he represents. Industrial
centres like Roanoke City are united
with agricultural districts In repudiating
the boss. Democratic strongholds in
crease their majorties and city and
counties hitherto Republican join the
Democratic column. Shrewd observers
have been predicting that President Har
rison's hopes would be showed under in
Virginia but as correspondent puts IT,,
they did not foresee an avalanche. The
Virginisns are a spirited people. They
resent the attempt Of his administration,
aided by such men Gs Quay and Dudley,
TO foist upon them boss whose methods
embrace every bad practice known to
modern politics. The fusionists OF
New York CITY were badly beaten by
Tammany yesterday,the majority for the
latter over the combine being not

York public that the fusion movement
was organized by pretended reformers as

verdict OF that state in the Presi
