ties About the Matter

YIoToRlA, B. O., August 4.-There Ia
great excitement here, The schooner
Black Diamond arrived here last eyep-
ing from Behring sea, Particulars Of
the seizure by the American revenue
cutter are as lollows; July II we gotin
q catch Of tilty'three seals, At4p, M.
we sighted the revenue cutter Rush. She
came up to US and ordered us to heaye
to, We did so, The chief officer came
aboard and demanded our papers. We
refused TO give them to him, and he then
got screw driver and screwed Off the
hinges on the locks In the cabin, took
our papers and los sealskins and all In
dian spears and ten bags OF salt, Then
he put John Hawkins, an able seaman,
aboard, with instructions to us not TO in
terlere, as sailing master, AS soon
as the Rush was lost sight OF a.
southwest course was ateered right for
Victoria, Hawkins from the start
saw II was impossible TO attempt 10 take
charge Of affairs In his own hands and
consequently lay In his bunk nearly all
the time, not attempting TO interfere,
John Hawkins the American seamen
says he was treated kindly by every,
body, When he was put abroad the
steamer he said TO his officers: "Instead
Of taking her TO SiLka they may goto
Victoria" They did not answer him.
Mr.. Hammley, collector Of customs here,
said he Is Of the opinion that when
Hawkins was put abroad the Black
Diamond the people on the Rush did
not care whether she came to Victoria
Or not as long as sue got out Of the sea
and stopped destroying seals. Hawkins
has told everything 70 the American
consul here who has wired the Washing
ION authorities about the matter,

Last Week.
PHILADELPHIA, August "A large
volume Of business has been transacted
since Monday morning in all kinds Of
crushed and finished iron and steel.
Nearly all Of this business was done at
full quoted rates. The volume would
have been larger but for the unwilling
ness OF makers To accept business at con.
cessions from ruling rates. The smaller
buyers have been quite active, and
their requirements for the next thirty
days are not yet fully covered. The out
look is better than II las been at any
time since January l. Stocks OF crude
iron OF furnace have been reduced on
paper through sales made for future
delivery. Very little choice or standard
iron can now be had for delivery
within thirty days. Considerable
inferior iron 10 being offered and
sold. Scarcely any Southern iron has
been sold in this market for q week or
more, but there are offerings Of small
lots, mainly foundry, which can be had
at sic for No. 2 and $40 so 10 $17 for No.

two or three large pipe.jron contracts

one or two large contracts are brewing
with Eastern Pennsylvania makers. II
seems as though very little stimulus
would give prices farther upward
