CANADA'S SITUATION
In the Behring Sea Dispute and
England's.
THE PRESIDENT WOULD EMULATE
Washington As Tree Planter Demands OF
Strikers GOnceded-An Official Circular
to French Bishops

Especial TO THE HERALD-Examiner dispatch
OTTAWA, Sept. 6.-Sir John Mcdonald
returned to the capital yesterday in conse-
qucnce, it is understood, of the receipt by
the Canadian government of important
dispatches from England. The text of
these dispatches is said to be a practical
refusal on the part of the imperial authOri-
ties to allow the Pacific squadron to inter
tere in the Behring sea difficulty Canada.
it says, must settle the difficulty herself. II
is evident that the intention of the home
government is to throw the colony on her
own resources. This is further eorrobor-
ated by the fact that Canadian affairs were
completely ignored in the recent speech of
the Queen at the propagation of parliment.
The sudden and unannounced return of
the premier was the signal for a cabinet
meeting, which was held yesterday after
noon and lasted over two hours All the
ministers were present, with theEexception
OF John Thompson, Hon. Edgar DeWdney
and Hon. Mr. Foster. All the documents
received thus far from Victoria respecting
the recent seizures by the United States
revenue cutter Rush were under consider
alton: The members of the government, it
IS understood, are of one opinion-that the
United States will relinquish the claim to
the exclusive sovereignty of Behring sea
The present delay can only be accounted
for by the fact that England has with
strange reluctance interfered only in reit-
Grating her demands for tie appointment
of a convention to settle the question.
Claims for compensation will aggregate at
least 100000. They will be transmitted to
the imperial government without delay,
along with strong demand for some decfs-
i've action tending to a settlement of the
vexed question.

An Axe Companr Going Under.

BosToS, Sept. ct is stated on the au-
thority of President Perkins that the Doug
las Axe company concern will go into in
solvency soon. There is, it is said, short
age in the accounts Of Treasurer Denison
Dana. His whereabouts are unknown
The company is capitalized at 800, 200.
DAna's absence was discovered yester-
day while the directors were waiting for
the opening Of a meeting of the board. A
hasty examination of the accounts was
made and they were found to be in very
bad shape. President Perkins said: MIR
Dana has been in the employ of the com
pauy from boyhood and we had ne occasion
TO suspect him. The company has been GO
ing along successfully about fifty years
and its prosperity has been great"
When asked if he could give any idea
of the present liabilities or condition of the
company, Perkins replied: mo We have
not been able to approach anything like a
definite view Of the results; but we know
they must be bad judging by Dana's &C
counts that we have examined thus far'
Mr. Moorfeid Storey, who has been
placed in charge, said petition in insol-
Vency would be filed tomorrow.

The Niagara Falls Suicide.

BINGHAMPToN, N. Y, Sept. 6.-The young
woman who suicided at Niagara falls yes
terday morning is believed to be Anna
Mead, Of this city. Miss Mead left home
Wednesday morning, and that was the
last seen Of her. A description of the sui
eide tallies with that of the missing girl.
Yesterday morning her parents received a
letter postmarked Niagara falls There was
no date on it and no name was signed, but the
handwriting was recognized as that of the
missing girl. The letter reads 81 bought
a ticket for this place this morning, and
there is possibility my body will not be
found, and 1 hope it never will. No one is
to blame but myself"
Miss Mead was 25 years old. and well
connected. No reason can be given for her
act. She was generally considered a
merry, light girl, but had occa-
sional spells of melancholy. Her home
was pleasant and was surrounded with
every comfort. She moved in good So
ciety, and was much admired. A week ago
she visited Niagara and seemed to be
strangely fascinated with the falls

Robert Ray Hamilton Testifles.

NEW YORK, Sept 6.-Mrs. Swinton and
her son, Joshua Mann, were taken to the
Tombs police court this afternoon. Robert
Ray Hamilton is referred to in the COM
plants against the defendants. The de-
PENDANTS pleaded not guilty and demanded
an examination. Hamilton then took the
witness stand. He looked pale and bag
gard and gave his testimony in an almost
inaudible voice. The charge he made was
surprise. 1t was larceny in the sec md
degree. He admitted knowing Mrs.
Swinton since June, 1888, and stated that
theylived as man and wife the greater part
of that time.
Hamilton said he had lived with Eva
Mann three or four years previous to their
marriage. He never suspected that the
child which now bears his name was not
his own, but he did suspect that Mrs.
Swinton and Josh Mann were conspiring
some time in June to obtain some of his
money.
The testimony Of Hamilton in detail
showed the sums of money he has given
Mrs. Swinton. Inspector Byrnes told the
story already printed about the babies.

,nents, setting it on fire, causing panic in
the building, which was crowded. One hun
lred and twenty six persons were killed.

cartridges were loaded. 1t was adjacent to
y some petroleum stores, and two large Rus
II pan petroleum warehouses were set on fire

endangered. The police, gems d'armes and
troops are assisting in the work of eX-
lnguishing the flames while priests and
sisters of charity are looking after the
injured. The city is in dense smoke.
Eighty thousand barrels of oil are burning,
slightly persons were injured; the majority
Of them are workmen. Several soldiers re-
received injuries.
7p.m.-Tht explosion occurred in a work
shop where old cartridges were being
aiken to pieces; men and women were
actually at work breaking them up and
5000, 600 had been partially broken.
The fire is still raging and now covers
tTO acres The flames shoot up to an i'm
mense height, and amid the roar of the

tion and explosion of packages of cartridges.
Beyond the Russian tanks and Mobiles
sheds there are numerous houses burning.

Senator Calls Letter

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 6.-Senator
Call has addressed a 5000 word letter to
Colonel Chipley, chairman Of the state
Democratic executive committee, declining
the latters proposition to meet him in joint
discussion before the people of Florida, as
contained i'll Chipley's recent acceptance
of Senator Calls challenge to his alleged
defamers. Senator Call refers TO the rail-
road lobby in the last legislature, and
charges that a combine was made to defeat
his reelection to the Senate in 1891. He
also refers to the combination for the re-
vival of obsolete land grands, which re-
suited in dispossessing thousands Of people
of their homes. 1t was to expose this plot,
Call says, that he proposed to canvass the
state and not to make personal defense of
his own record. He wishes to direct per-
sonal attention to the extent of the enor.
nifty and iniquity of the evil practices in
which he charges Chipley and his asso-
ciates are engaged.

me Lilly Searched for Seal Skins.

SAN Francisco, Sept. "a dispatch
from Victoria, B. c., states that the
schooner. Lilly, belonging to that place,
arrived there from Behring sea last night
She reports that she was boarded August 6
by the United States revenue cutter Rush,
her papers searched and 1873 sealskins CON
fiscated. She was ordered to proceed to
Sitka, but no prize crew was placed on
board the vessel. She sealed for few
days after this but finally sailed for home
schooner Kate. The latter reported that
she had been ordered to heave to by the
Rush, which she did, but the wind was
blowing so hard that the cutter could not
lower a boat. The Kate was ordered out
of Behring sea. She had $50 skins aboard.
The officers of the Rush told the Lilly seven
schooners had already been seized,

HUNTINGTON'S PLANS.
1t is Rumored He Has Great Railroad
Scheme for the South.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. J
New YORK, Sep. 6.-The new plans of
railway development that G. p. Hunting
ton has in the south are attracting much
attention in Wall street. 1t is now an
nounced that the experts whom he lately
sent out to investigate a plan to tap the
mineral deposits of Northeastern Ken
lucky, Southeastern Virginia and Eastern
Tennessee, reported against the practical
bility of doing so by branch road from the
Newport News & Mississippi Valley road
to and up the Licking river country. The
only practicable plan they reported was to
tap that country by q road up the Big
Sandy valley and through the breaks of
the Big Sandy. Huntington remained
quit, and the next move he made was to
take in the Chattaroi road. He, however
has appeared in another form. A deed to
Huntington for large boundary of land has
just been admitted to record in Lawrence
county, Kentucky. This land lies on the
Big Sandy, just above where the Chattaroi
road crosses the river. The fact that
Huntington is not only investing in rail
roads but lands on the Big Sandy river, is
regarded as significant, and great rail
road project through that wealthy section
is confidently predicted.

the cOroner's court room and protested
against the case being proceeded with so
summarily.a
Michael Reedy, brother of the dead man,
who is bartender at 263 First avenue, had
just called at his Office, he said, and asked
him to endeavor to delay the proceedings
until Reedy's family could bury their dead
and get witnesses to prove that Patrick
Reedy was not a foot pad, but respect
able. honest citizen. Michael Reedy was
called to the witness stand and testified
that his brother was twenty five years old,
son of James Reedy, a hostler at Saratoga
and that the body was to be taken there at
once for interment. Patrick, he said, was
at the time of his injury barkeeper for
William Koch at SO Broadway and had been
employed in many of the best known bar
rooms in the city during the nine years he
had lived here
Policeman Adams related the circum-
stances of the assault which occurred at a
quarter to 3 o'clock in the morning He
heard Harrigan cry out, "Go away. What
do you wantt' and rushed up in time to
see Harrigan knock Reedy down with his
cane. Harrigan cried out to the police
man, 'That man is thief. He tried to
rob me-" Adams undertook to take both
men to the Thirtieth street station
but Reedy fought so hard he
was comp elled to rap for assistance at the
station house. Reedy did not give his right
name and he told the sergeant that Harri
gan had nothing worth stealing anyway.
r ely was sent to the hospital. On the
way re made such efforts to escape that it
became necessary to handcuff him. Subse-
Quently he tried to escape from the hospital
The doctors then finally decided to try the
operation of trepanning the patients skull,
as it was the only means of saving his life.
Reedy refused to submit to the operation.
''Lf you don't have il done, you'll go among
the angels volunteered one of the doctors
to him.
''I'll be - if don't go with the angels
Them replied Reedy stoutly. He died
early yesterday morning.
Coroner Levy set the case down for hear
ing for Monday at 2 O'Clock, and held Harri-
gan under 81, 500 bail, the latter then left
the court room with Policeman in search
of bondsmen, and the coroner took the jury
to the hospital to view Reedy's body

A FATAL LOVE STORY.
From InfatuatiOn to Drink, and Finally to
Death at Il Husbands Hands.

FROM lnlaluaIlOn 10 Drlnk, ana tlnallH 10
Death at husbands Hands.
DENVER, Sept. cat an early hour this
morning Timothy Stocking, faro dealer
at the Arcade gambling hall, shot and in
stantly killed Billy Murphy, an ex convict
from Joliet, III. The story leading up to
the murder is something of romance.
Miss Williams, beautiful young girl.
came to Chicago from small town in Wis
consin to visit friends. Shortly after her
arrival she met Billy Murphy who fell
madly in love with her. The lady did not
return his affections, and soon after she
met and married Timothy Stocking, men,
Der of PinkertOn's force. Murphy took to
drink and a couple of months after the wed
ding was caught attempting to burglarize
and was sentenced to five years imprison-
ment, Stocking being the principal
witness for the prosecution. Murphy
swore he would kill both Stocking
and his wife as soon as ne could get his
liberty. After his release he followed the
couple over the country, finally locating
them in Denver He came here a few
months ago and meeting Mrs. Stocking on
the street nearly frightened her to death
by threats of violence 10 herself and hus-
band. Stocking, however, seemed to pay
IlILle alUenUlOn 10 Ine threats anu laughed
at them whenever his wife spoke of them
The police were notified of the affairs and
had repeatedly driven Murphy from the
Stocking premises where he had been
found skulking around all the hours of the
night. This morning Stocking was awal-
ened by some one knocking at his front
door, and on going to the entrance asked
who was there, and on being informed that
it was Billy Murphy, Stocking looked
through the blinds and saw a huge knife in
the mans hands. Stocking picked up
shot gun and fired, stricking Murphy in
the face and neck. Murphy staggered out
of the gate and fell upon the walk corpse
Stocking was arrested and locked up at
the Central station. The deceased has a
father living on Blue Island avenue, Chi
cago, and cousin and brother in the same
city, all of whom are quite wealthy and in
fuential citizens.
