smuggIers Were Too Sharp.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.-The steamer
Belgic has arrived from Hong Kong and
Yokohama. 1t was expected that q big
seizure of opium would be made. The
government special agent was on watch
in tug near Golden Gate, as it was
supposed the smugglers would throw
overheard the contraband drug. They
must have been warned, however, as the
watchers secured nothing, and the
opium is probably concealed on board
and will be taken ashore by some of the
numerous devices.

BRAIDwooD, Ills, May 23.-An infuri.
ated mob of armed Italians from neigh
boring collieries made their appearance
at the mines of the Chicago and VIII
mington Coal company Wednesday
morning and prevented the collieries
from resuming work. They threatened
to kill any body who ''scabbed" and also
to burn the shafts. The mob numbered
about 500, and were supplied with dou-
BILE barreled shotguns, repeating rifles
and revOlvers. Mayor Cory, who is
also superintendent of the Chicago, Will
mington and VermilliOn Coal company,
ordered the rioters off the premises.
They refused to go, and told Cory that

between the knights of Labor and the
Brotherhood, contractors and planning
mill owners will take advantage of the
trouble and reduce wages and increase
the working hours. Members of the

fight by the American Federation of La,

RATHER UNLIKELY.

A Report That England VIII Send Men
of-war to Alaskan Waters to Protect
Unlawful Fishers.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The story is
afloat that England has determined to
send man-of-war to Alaska to protect
the illicit sealing vessels flying the Brit
ish flag from seizure and condemnation
by the United States under the provis-
ions of the recent proclamation issued
by President Harrison, and that there is
great excitement in consequence. The
report goes that the Thetis, of the navy,
and the Bear and Rush, of the revenue
marine, have been ordered to proceed at
once to Alaskan waters to head off the
intruder and to keep the peace or pre-
serve the proclamation at all hazards.
This story is discredited at the treasury
department, and Capt. Bonnet, chief of
the revenue marine bureau, states that
he has no official knowledge of any
effort on the part of England to circum.
vent the strict carrying out of the proc
lamation. The Thetis has been ordered
to cruise around Point Barron to give
all possible aid in the establishment Of
the refuge station there, and the Bear
and Rush will start on their regular
cruises as soon as they are in condition.

Practical experiments carried on at Doug

John p. Irish Writes Letter in Carr 8
Behalf.
WASHINGTON, April 9th.-Under date of
March 2lst, John ?. Irish, of San Fran
cisco, addressed a letter to Assistant Secre-
tary Busey, of the Interior Department, in
behalf of Jesse d. Carr, against whom suits
have been requested to be brought for ille-
gally fencing 5l UU0 acres of public land in
Modoc county. Mr.. Irish says that he
called upoc ex-Secretary Villas Just before
the close of the last Administration, and
informed him that the fences were down at
certain points so that people could enter
upon the inclosed public land, and that
seven miles of the lake front were accessi-
Bile to the people for grazing herds in the
neighborhood.
Upon this statement, Villas, Mr.. irish
says, promised to recommend that suits be
discontinued. Mr.. Irish says he is not an
attorney for Mr.. Carr. but writes because
he wishes to prevent useless litigation.
Commissioner Stockslager, the General
Land Officer, has replied to Mr.. Irish's let
ter, copy of which has been furnished to
Secretary Noble, in which he says:
The charges made against Mr.. Carr
were investigated by Special Agent Brock
enbrough, and found to be true. That SUBJ
sequently Carr preferred charges against
the Special Agent, and upon an investiga-
tion by an Inspector of the Department
were found to be false.'

Why the Samoan Disaster Occurred-An
Offer of Coal Rafused


SAN FRANCISCO, April 9th.-Now that
the Samoan disaster has passed into history,
inter esting facts in relation to its cause are
likely to come to light, and none more sig
nifcant than the following: The fact that
none of the illfated vessels were provided
with coal at the time of the accident is
well known, and it was evident that "some
one had blundered." 1t now transpires
that this coalless condition of the boats
was not unpreventable, and that an offer
was actually made to the heads of the
Navy Department which, had it been ac-
cepted, would have prevented the calamity
A prominent firm in this city, whose
head is acquainted with the Samoan coast
and the immediate danger existing there at
this time of the year-especially menacing
boats unprovided with fuel-made an
offer. through Paymaster Goldsborough, to
supply Australian coal to the vessels at Sa-
moa at the low rate of ten dollars per ton.
The firm could afford to do this, as they
have ships plying between this city and
Sydney. This offer was referred to Com
modore Schley, who is the head of the
Equipment Bureau at Washington, and
was refused. The contract was, instead,
carried of by Philadelphia firm, who sent
1000 tons at special rates to Pago Pago. Had
the offer of Australian coal been accepted.
it can be easily seen that the disaster might
have been avoided, as the coal could have
been placed on board within 80 days.
