TO SAVE MRS. MAVERICK.
Some of the Evidence Being Collected by
Her American Lawyers.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
NEW YORK, August 10.-Mr. Alfred
Roe. of the firm of Roe g. Macklin, who
will represent in this country the interests
of Mrs. Maybrick recently condemned in
England for the murder of her husband,
said this evening that the most important
American affidavit to be forwarded in Mrs
Maybrick's behalf will be that of Dr.
Griggs, of Brooklyn, who stands ready to
swear that he once gave to the
present Mrs. Maybrick a prescription
for wash for the complexion which
contained arsenic. This exactly corrob-
crates Mrs. Maybrick's testimony before
the English court. DR.. Griggs is now
spending his vacation at Sunapee, n. H,
and Mr.. Macklin will endeavor to meet
him in Boston at an early date, and have
his affidavit sworn to before the British
Consul in order that it may be valid
abroad.
Other affidavits will be obtained from per-
sons who knew Mrs. Maybrick when she
lived in this country, and who will testify
as to her good character and social standing
here. This, in the opinion Of
Lawyer Roe, is Of much less
Importance than DR.. Griggs' testimony.
Mrs. Maybrick's American attorneys are
anxiously awaiting the arrival of Mr..
Joseph Potter, United States Consul at
Crefeld, Germany, friend of the condemned
woman, who will bring full information as
to the state of the case and the course to be
pursued. Mr.. Potter sailed from Liverpool
last Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, August 10.-While Vice
President Morton got another relative in
Office in the appointment sent by the Presi-
dent from Bar Harbor to-day, Mr.. Harrison
went back on namesake, possibly because
he was not a relative. William Henry
Harrison Webster, of Buffalo, has for some
time been the most prominent candidate for
Consul at Toronto, Canada. He was backed
by Representative Farquhar, the New York
Senator and politician generally, and
Chauncey Depew made a special fight for
him. Everybody supposed he would get
the place, but to-day Charles G. Pope, of
ST. Louis, got the place without much of a
struggle.

Ingersoll episode. Colonel Bob had been
invited to address tine vast assembly.
He had spoken for a few minutes, when
he launched forth into an eloquent eulogy
for Gresham. He was hissed and howled
down and almost mobbed. Fred Douglass
attempted to make peace, but no more

some one yelled "Pope, Pope" and a hun

SAN FRANCISCO, August 10.-In the San
Francisco Argonaut appears an article by
Congressman Charles N. FELTON,, treating at
considerable length on the question of the
Behring Sea. Mr.. FELTON, was a member of
of the conference committee between the
Senate and the House in the last Con-
gress, which passed the bill amenda-
tory of the laws regulating fur seal
fisheries in Behring Sea. The writer first
cites the well-known facts on which Russia s
title to the Behring Sea was based, and
gives the history of Russia's control of
Alaska and the Behring Sea up to the date
of the cession of the same to the United
States in 1868. Russia ceded to the United
States all that part of Behring Sea east OF
given line running nearly northeast and
southwest through this sea, and retained
the title to and control over that part of
Behring Sea lying west of the said line
1t is a matter of history that Russia from her
discovery of Behring Sea down to the cession
TO the United States controlled the navigation
of its waters and taking of its marine life. To
this end her navy patrolled it and in pursuance
of her laws has taken. confscated and burned
marauding vessels She has since pursued and
IS now pursuing the same policy in her part of
Behring Sea. In all protests. correspondence,

serted and maintained by Russia over thar sea
from its discovery to its partition and cession

never been officially questioned or denied, and
again. had it been understood that the waters
Of Behring Sea and its marine life were free to
fishermen of all nations including ours there
had been no incentive on the part of our Gov
ernment for its purchase.
Whatever title Russia had at the date of
its transfer to the United States must be
conceded to our Government until it is es-
tablished that Russia had no title to the
same. which the writer apprehends, cannot
be successfully accomplished.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.J
NEW YORK, August 10.-Lewis Geb-
hard Reed, United States Consul at Barba-
dos, w. l., who was President Cleveland's s
first appointee from Brooklyn, was replaced
in Office on August by E. A. Dimmick, AN
American dentist who has practiced his pro-
fesslon on the island for 13 or IA years.
Dimmick came originally from Newbury-
port, Mass. His appointment was made on
the June 25, but has yet to be announced
in the Consular list sent out from
Washington. An explanation for this ap-
pears to be found in the fact that the new
sConsul's wife is a niece of Miss Abigail
Dodge, better known as "Gail Hamilton"
whose relationship to the Hon. James G.
Blaine, Secretary Of State, offers ample ex-
PLANTATION for the silence surrounding the
appointment.
Mr.. DimmIck's relationship to Mr..
Blaine's family secured him the position.
During Mr.. Reeds four years at Barbados
he has made an excellent record in his re-
lations with the Government and the mer-
chants whose interests center at the port.
He will return to Brooklyn the latter part
OF this month.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.i
NEW YORK, August 10.-No mail matter
was taken to any of the postofices of the
Jersey seashore last Sunday, and none is
expected m.morrow. Cessation OF the Sun
day service is by order Of Postmaster Gen
eral John Wanamaker, and it came without
warning, the first intimation of it being q
telephone message from the New York Of
fee, at about the time when the Sunday
morning mail bags were accustomed to ar
rive, saying that the Sunday service was
discontinued.
The feeling in the great hotels. where
Sunday is the chosen day of the week for
reading and writing letters, amounted to in
dignation. The anger of thousands who get
their daily newspapers by mail was espe-
cially outspoken. About the only pleased
persons were the local vendors, who out
rageously charge a dime for a 5-cent jour-
nal, and who were favored by the Wana-
maker interference with long-established
convenience. Sabbatarism has all along
prevailed at Ocean Grove and Asbury Park,
but the people at Long Branch have enjoyed
their Sunday mail, and those at
West End and Hollywood are in
dignant at the deprivation of service
established when David NJ Hildreth was
somewhat humorously made postmaster Of
West End. That was when President Gar
field was slowly dying at Elberon and the
amount OF mail matter was immensely in
creased. Postmaster General Thomas L.
James visited Long Branch and saw the in
convenience to which the West End and
Elberon people were subjected in getting
their letters to and from the Long Branch
postofice. Mr.. Hildreth was the proprietor
of the West End Hotel, and Mr.. james
agreed to establish a postofice there.
81 will do it if you will be the postmas-
ter" be laughingly said.
Agreed was Mr. Hildreth's reply, "for
it ought to be fun for a Democrat to be an
oficeholder under Republican administra-
ton
So Mr.. James ordered the Office to be Gre
ated, but not without an unexpected ado,
for there proved to be another postal West
End in New Jersey, and the residents of
that place kicked up a row over losing the
name. They were at length placated by a
substitution of the name of the
most popular and wealthy inhabitant,
and so that difficulty was over
come. Mr.. Hildreth had to give bonds for
official rectitude, and the names signed to
the document were those of Russell Sage
and c. X. Garrison, representing anywhere
from $50, ,000, 900 to $4,000, 900. Mr.. Hill
dreth held the Office until the end of the
Cleveland administration. hiring an assist
ant at a loss out of pocket to take actual
charge. This official, Mr.. Nunnelly, is now
the postmaster.
"What do you think of Mr.. W Wanamaker's
withdrawal of our Sunday mail?" was asked
of Mr.. George w. Childs, who is summer
resident at Elberon.
"Well. John shouldn't have done it, was
the reply.

Liberal Unionist Lecturer Talks Rather
EmphnticaIly Upon Home Rule.
CHAUTAUQUA, August 10.-Prof. J. f.
Mahaffey, of Dublin, lectured this morning
on the 'Irish Question" He said that he
was not Tory; that he had voted with the
Liberal party until it was disturbed
by Mr.. Gladstone, and was now Liberal
Unionist. The great strength of
the home rule cause in Ireland lays, he
said, in the money that country receives
from the United States. He classed the in
reference of England in behalf of the
Southern States during our Civil War as a
grave instance OF international discourtesy.
and stated that the sympathy and money
we send to Ireland is in the same way a
breach of international courtesy.
He said the home rule movement is not
national in any real sense, but an unholy
alliance of paid agitators and Romlsh
priests; that it was not safe to give constitu
tional liberties while Roman Catholic ma
iority would distort them into an oppression
of the Protestants. The information we re-
ceive in this country is poisoned and one
sided. Agitators always describe ireland
as it existed 20 years ago. The tenantry is
better protected by law in that country than
in this.

BAR HARBoR, August 10.-President
Harrison went for a sail to-day, the guest
of Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine. The passenger
boat Sap pho, which usually plies between
Mount Desert ferry and Bar Harbor, had
been selected, and it carried nearly 100
ladies and gentlemen, who went partly
round the island and into Somes' Sound
with the President, by invitation Of the
Secretary of State.
Before the steamer had been away from
the wharf ten minutes some of those on board
began to feel uncomfortable. The afternoon
was foggy and the sea choppy, and the
steamer pitched and rolled as if she were
several days out of port. The President
stood in the pithouse, now with one compan-
ion and then with another, while most Of
the other Governmental people occupied
chairs or settees on the deck, or lounged in
the saloon.
JUST A LITTLE BOTHERED.
President Harrison kept his place in the
pit house. and while he was not actually
sick, the change in his face showed that he
felt the motion of the boat and did notqhite
like it. Meanwhile the Turkish Minister,
took lounge in the saloon, evidently feel
ing pretty badly, and when Walker Blaine
asked if the internal relations of Turkey
were entirely peaceful, he rolled over and
with groan said that he hoped 30.
Many others aboard the boat showed
symptoms of fseasickness, but the sail through
the rough water lasted less than an hour,
and the effects were not severe. The steamer
ran up Somes Sound, stopping to enable
Mr.. Blaine to invite Bishop Doane on
board. The invitation was declined, as the
Bishop was awaiting the arrival of friends.
Then the steamer drew up alongside the
Clytie, three-masted schooner, which was
anchored in the channel, and asked for q
rope.
The two boats were made fast, and, while
the boats were lying together, lunch was
served in the main saloon in true demo-
cratic style, the President sitting on settee
with
NAPKIN ON HIS KNEE
and plate in his hand. The steamer went
a little further up the sound, but before re-
turning, when near Somesville, boat was
lowered and the President, Mrs. Blaine,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lodge, Mrs. Patterson and
others took seats in it. They were rowed to
the shore, whence they started in buck
board for Bar Harbor.
After dinner tonight the President and
the Blaines went to reception which the
Kebo Valley Club gave in Its club house in
the Presidents honor, followed by a recep-
ton and dancing. Seven hundred and flty
people were present, among them being L,
Secretary Tracy and Mrs. WIlmerding, his
daughter. President Harrison went with
the Blaine party. which also included Sena-
tor and Mrs. Hale. President Ogdon Cod
mon presented him to the people, and he re-
mained there about an hour.
