in, Colonel of the Third Infantry Regi-
ment, and attorney of the Hibernia Bans,
was found dead in bed this morning in the

England Does Not Propose to Fight JON
athan and the Gar.
WASHINGTON, August 3d.-A well posted
State Department official says in reference
to Behring Sea: There is nothing for the
Government to do In connection with the
Behring Sea matter but to continue to
enforce the law, and capture as many pir-
atical sealers as they find in our jurisdic-
ton.
The buster in Canada does not even
excite interest even in the State or Treasury
Departments. When the British Govern
ment communicates with us on the subject
officially it will be time enough for the
State Department to take the matter up.
There is not the least probability of g
war, but if there were it would place Eng
land in very awkward. not to say danger
Gus position. The policy being carried out
with regard to these seal fisheries was
adopted only after very careful inquiry
into the matter.
The House committee on the merchant
marine and fisheries last session made a
thorough investigation of the question, the
result of which was seen in the act reaffirm-
ing our rights over these waters.
Before President Harrison issued his
proclamation of April, this Act and every
thing pertaining to the legal aspect of the
question, was referred to the Attorney
General, and there is perfect agreement
between the State and Treasury Depart
ments and the Department of Juisice.
Congressman Farquhar, who was a mem
Der of the committee in the House that
formulated the bill, says tSis country would
go right on asserting and maintaining its
jurisdiction over the Behring Sea fisheries
and England can't say word in earliest
about the matter.
Russia stands ready to make good our
title-deed by purchase from her.
Great Britain can't afford to antagoniZe
the two great nations of Russia and the
United States.
There is no doubt about Russias dispo-
sition in the matter. They guaranteed
us in our title and England can't seriously
question that title without antagonizing
Russia. If she went into the fight she
would have two antagonists,
This is all well understood in England
as well as in Russia and Americn.

The Prison EARN.
Folsom Telegraph. August Sd

FOLSOM Telegraph, August Sd.
A tide over the prison farm shows it to
be in fine condition. The grapes in the
orchard are ripening rapidly and are plen-
tiful, and the new vineyard and orchard is
doing well. Several orange and olive trees
that were set out are thriving well, and the
farm as whole is in an excellent condi-
ton of cultivation. A large barn has been
filled with hay grown on the farm The
pig-peR is large structure, very clean,
with excellent drainage, and one of the
most profitable things connected with the
prison. All the bacon and ham used this
year was cured at the prison. A great deal
more will be realized from the farm during
the coming year, as larger area will be
planted. The farm is wild looking place,
which has been rendered very attractive,
but which is susceptible of much greater
improvement. If the plans that have been
laid out by the Warden are consummated.
it will be one of the handsomest spots in
California, and besides supplying the con-
viets with all the fruits, vegetables and
other farm products, will be source of
profit to the State. Anything grown in
California can be raised on the land, and in
few years from now one of the prettiest
pieces OF ground ever seen will surround
the prison.

OUGHT TO BE Running.
Unused Nevada City Mines that are Be-
lieved to Hold Pay Dirt.
Nevada City Herald. ]

Nevada City Herald.
There are good many mines that ought
to be in operation here, and which will be
when good start is made by a responsible
company in one or more.
The Sheath & Clay had q half-miIIion
dollars taken ont of it before the 400 foot
level was reached. The Merrifeld paid
largely for years before the pay shoot gave
out but there is another shoot north known
as the old Soggs shoot, which has been
worked on tribute for the last two years
and paid good wages. There would only
have 10 be short drift run to connect the
old works with it.
The Nevada City is generally believed to
be good mine, and operations viii be COM
menced on it before long The Spanish,
on the same lead, will be yielding better
before long. The Wyoming has been a
good mine, and it has plenty of pay stone
IN Il yet. 1t has complete plant on it,
and should be at work
The California and Gold Tunnel, Judging
from the ore that has been taken ont and
mIlied the past year. would yield good re-
turns if Systematically opened sgain.
The Murchie will probably be al work in
the near future. 1t was once regarded as
valuable property. The LecomptoD, the
Never Sweat, the Jones ledge and others at
Willow valley all pay well, even when
WORKED uuuer present ulnculues. They,
with several others up there, including the
Texas, ought to be employing hundreds of
men. The old Banner, the Union, and
several mines on Banner hill are good, and
are bound TO be worked extensively. The
Gray lfad, or Piety bill, on which there
sre several locations, will give good returns
for money invested in opening them.
In fact, there are dozen or more mines
and undeveloped lodges within sight of
this city that would not lie idle day if
there was little more enterprise on the
part of the owners There should be 500
miners at work at days pay in this district,
and there will be as soon as people wake
up to their surroundings. Owners should
either arrange to work themselves or give
some kind of show for capitalists to take
hold With them. The field is here, and
how long it is to remain undeveloped de-
ponds greatly upon citizens and owners.

1t will be Completed Inside of Three
Ycars-Advantage to the Navy.
GREYTowN (Nicaraugua), July 18th -
This hitherto dull little town. which is
destined to be the Atlantic port of the Mica
rauaua canal, is rapidly awak ening into
new life and is already the scene of con-
siderable activity.
The terrible example set by the Panama
canal fasco has been most useful lesson
and guide for the American Canal Com.
pany. All the errors in which the French
Company fell have been avoided by the
American Canal managers, and il may be
said that every dollar squandered by the
DeI,esseps syndicate has been dollar
saved TO the Americans.
Sickness, starvation and despair marked
the route projected by the inanciers of
Paris, bat plenty of good food. decency
and ,Iliet energy are characteristics of the
American engineers and their assistants.
Eyerything possible to do for the health
of the employees is being done, and still fur.
Their efforts are being made in this sirec-
ton. Portable buildings of ali descriptions
are being continually shipped from New
York 10 Greytown, and engineers and me-
chanics will soon be practically as well
bonsed in Greytown as they would be
while at work III any part of the United
States.
RECOGNIZING the fact that pure water is
the source of good health. the Grey;own
engineers of the Nicaragua Canal Construc.
,;on Co,npany have Just received orders 10
survey and lay ont ground and plant for
two large water reservoirs, and fifteen miles
OF steel water piping will convey an abnnd'
ami supply of perfectly pure water rom the
Deseado basin TO Greytown.
Thus, so soon as the jeity and wharyes
are completed ocean steamships will be
able 10 water" at the company's dock.
The town of Greytown, otherwise San
Juan Del Norte. will also receive Baier
supply through the canal companys pipes;
Il is reported in Greytown that the canal
company is figuring upon a iine OF tofee
American steamships which mag &c sstao-
1;sbed betgeen GreytowH and New York
and San Francisco and Bfisoon. One OF

these steamers is to be devoted to carry
ing stores and machinery for the company's
use. between San Francisco and Britoon,
and the other two will perform like serv-
ice for the company between New York
and Greytown.
The property about Greytown, Port Car
los and Briton, all along the canal route
in fact, is rapidly advancing in value.
Some of the contractors from San Francisco
and Chicago are announced to be coming
this way. Several from New York are
still figuring here, and it is expected that
by January San Francisco construction
party will be stirring up the mud" at Bri-
ton, while the New York construction
parties will be digging their way toward
Lake Nicaragua from the Atlantic side for
it is now said to be the plan of the Nicar-
eugua Company to attack the isthmusian
problem from the two sides, the Atlantic
and Pacific, at once.
II this plan is actually decided upon, the
Nicaragua canal will be open to navigation
in much shorter space of time than at
first contemplated, while inside of say two
years and a half the grand fresh water
bosom of Lake Nicaragua, the draining
water shed of 800 square miles, will be
thrown open to the world.
In about two ard half years more, or
in 1892 SO, the whole canal will be ready
for business. As a rendezvous for the
American fleet, and as a coaling station
and dockyard for American men-of- war
Lake Nicaragua will form an Immensely
advantageous addition to the war power OF
the United States, for the feet there assem-
bled could coal, provision and repair, and
swoop east or west, strike north or south,
and have safe refuge should such safe
guard be needed.
Thus it will be readily seen, it must be
distinctly understood at the start, that the
Nicaragua canal is an American institution,
and that the growth of and strength of our
navy will keep pace with the growth of
the Nicaragua canal without increasing the
number of our ships.
This conclusion is arrived at from the
fact that our Atlantic fleet at few
hours notice could reinforce our Pacific
fleet, or vice versa, while even a small
squadron anchored in Lake Nicaragua
would be extra useful from the fact that it
could strike sudden and unexpected blows
either in the Atlantic or Pacific at mo-
ment's notice.

He Borrows Money From a Buxom Widow
and Then Marries Il Jolly Lass.
CHICAGO, August 31.-Harry L. Whelev
is in peck of trouble through the love of
two women. 1t was an interesting story
that came out yesterday in Court, in which
Whaley and a niece of Secretary of the In
terror Noble and a granddaughter Of Gov.
ernor Noble, of Indiana, figure. Fifteen
years ago, Whaley, as boy in Alton, H..
knew Jeanne Noble, who lived with her
mother in Alton, her father having died
during her infancy. Years ago young
Whaley wandered away from Alton, and
since then has had a checkered career. A
year ago last MAY he was in New York,
and went to board with Mrs. Sarah Dodge,
well.to do widow, who kept boarders up
Harlem way. Last December he dissp-
peared from New York, and returning to
Alton renewed his acquaintance with
jeanne Noble, and in March last married
her. They came to Chicago, and lived in
Englewood, where Whaiey obtained en-
ployment with the Wabash road.
Mrs. Dodge sat in the witness box to-day
to oppose Whaley's release from the
clutches of the law on writ of habeas
corpus, telling story substantially as fol-
lows: Whsley came to board at her house,
and in the course of time became engaged
into business in New York, but instead of
doing so he ran away and married Miss
Noble. The widow was not aware of this
fact, however, and in response 10 repeated
letters in which he promised to return to
New York, she sent him money aggregate
ing 81 900. Then she learned that he was
married, and came on here to see about the
matter. She met Whaley and he agreed TO
desert his wife and return with her TO New
York. Tickets were bought and the Jour
ney was begun. but Whaley gave the
widow the slip at the city limits. as soon
as she discovered this last act of perfidy
the widow got off the train, returned to
Englewaod and had Whaley arrested tor
obtaining money under false pretenses.
After hearing the evidence the case was
continued until Monday, and the prisoner
was sent TO Jail. The young wife has not
lost confidence in her husband, and sat be-
side him during the hearing, glancing def
snce ST the widow.

STEPHEN GIRARD'S WILL.
The Trustees Charged With Not Carrying
Out the Wits Terms.


New. YORK, August 3d.-The French
heirs of Stephen Girard are about to bring
suit in Philadelphia to recover property
now valued at S13,00O,O00, which is held
partly in trust by the city of Philadelphia
and Mrs. Eugenia Girard and partly by the
State OF Louisiana. The ground on which
the suit is based is the alleged infraction of
the terms of Girard's will.
The most important provision of The will
was that all the revenues accommodating in
the hands of the municipal corporation of
Philadelphia were to be applied to certain
works of establishment, charity and police
organization. FifCy-eight years have
elapsed since Girard's death, and apart
from college which was established only
seventeen years after his death, the city of
Philadelphia has done nothirg'to carry out
the intentions of the testator.
There are about s., 900, 600 of unemployed
revenues accumulated. The parties to
bring the suit are Miss Henrietta Girard, of
Philadelphia, and Mrs. Devars du Maine,
of Paris. The former is the niece and the
latter the grand-niece of Stephen Girard.
They are both poor. The suit against Lou
isiana will be to recover 2OS,000 acres.

Secretary Tracy Makes Ruling in Fave
of Foreign Roads


of Foreign Roads.
WASHINGTON, August 81. = Secretary
Tracy this afternoon rendered n decision
on the question submitted by the Collector
of Customs at Detroit as to the dutiable or
non-dutiable character of foreign built
railway cars coming into TIE United States
from Canada laden or for the purpose of
being laden with mails, passengers, etc.
The decision says in part that the cars
engaged in such trade have never been re-
garded as importGtIons or subject to duty,
but simply as vehicles of transportation
for conducting an established and legalized
traffic. This principle has remained in
force more than twenty years, and in view
of the long settled rule and practice upon
the subject the Department does not deem
1t conformable TO public interest to disturb
the decision deliberately reached and re.
peatediy affirmed, and must hold that the
question is no longer open TO admin
istratiye construction, although the prac-
tice is not to be permitted to degenerate
into license for free importation of for
eign-built cars into domestic traffic.

WASHINGTON, August 3i.-Commissione
of Pensions Tanner has made public
statement of the number of cases made
special from the date be assumed charge
of the Pension office, on March 9th, up to

served here by Mr.. Barnard. On Thurs.
day night be found the comet attended by
two other objects, and Friday night his OBJ

comets, one of them having q decided tail.
Beside the three comets mentioned, there
are four objects near, which are probably
the members Of the same family. This
phenomenon is rare one, though it has
been observed before
The comet of Bella, in 1916, was OBJ
served TO separate into two companion
comets. The comet of 1882 was also at
tended by six or eight nebalous masses.
Moreover, we have evidence of the exist
ence OF families of comets revolving in the
same orbit, but widely separate.
The comets of 1913, 1880 and 1882
formed such a family. For example. in
this case, they were widely separated. Ii
is likely that an earlier stage of this sepa-
rating process has been observed on The
present occasion.
