The Triumph,s Experience.

VICTORIA, B. c., July 30.-Captain Nc
Lain, of the British schooner Triumph,
which has arrived here from Behring sea,
is reticent about affairs in the north. 1t Is
asserted by others on the vessel, however,
that when the Triumph was sighted by the
Rush, there were thirty dead seals lying on
the Triumph's deck. These were hurriedly
skinned and hid with the remains in bar
rels of salt. This salt also formed heavy
coating to the above 500 sealskins, which
ant Tuttle made the examination, but see
ing nothing but salt, departed. The men on
the Triumph say that Captain Dodd,
of the Maggie, said that he would
fire on any American officers
attempting to board the vessel. Lieuten-
ant futile told Captain McLain that he
had see five scnooners entering Behring
sea, on the 18th OF July-the Maggie, Mac,
Triumph, Mary Allen, Lilly L. and Black
Diamond. The latter was captured, but
the fate of the others is unknown The
Coroner arrived today. Captain Carroll
says that when he left Junea, on We'd
nes6ay the Rritis b mon of war, Swift
sure, Icarius and Champion were there.
They left for Port Synham the following
day. A number of sealing men waited on
the commander of the British man Of-War
Champion which sailed for the north and
give him full particulars in writing. He
will convey them personally to Admiral
Senage. A deputation also waited on Hon.
John Robinson, provincial secretary. He
has telegraphed to Ottawa demanding the
protection of the imperial government.
kilograms were also sent by the most
prominent public men of the province.
The action of the imperial government is
anxiOuslV awaited.

MILwAUKRE, July 30.-The department

Nebraska held long session here to-day.
A decision was reached that the posts

SARATOGA, July 3O.-At the racing here
to-day the track was a sea of mud. 1t was
day for bowling over favorites, but no
one looked for the defeat of Hanover, and
when Lucky Baldwin's man called him, the
spectators went perfectly wild.
Three-quarters of a mile-Moari won in
:201S, Irene second, Glockner third.
Excelsior stakes, mile and a quarter
Starters: Hanover, Los Angeles and Mont
rose. Hanover took the lead at the start
and remained length ahead for mile,
with Montrose in the second place. On the
lower turn, Los Angeles came up like a
flash, and with a desperate struggle
through the stretch landed neck in front.
1t was the greatest display of horsemanship
seen on the track for many years. Time

pare with Meissonnier, which proves the
price is pushed. Il do not believe that the
picture was sold for that price. It is all
talk. l do not think Proust ever had an
idea that the French government would
take the picture for that price He bid on
the picture and pushed up the price, but he
presented it only once to the state and then
withdrew. Immediately an American came
forward and pretended that it was only
through politeness that he had withdrawn
from the contest, for if France really
wanted it, courtesy would not permit him
to bit another thousand francs, but he was
willing to take il at the last bid of SOC, 600
francs, which was readily granted Butt
added Vibert, 81 have seen these Americans;
they have been in my studio and they do
not wish to pay these prices believe they
have not the money. 1t is only case of
love as in the bourse, and that the price
was never intended to be paid. If it were
really bought at such a high price, he would
not only take it to America at .once, but lie
would not leave it here to be exhibited for
any charity, unless he is sorry for his bar
gain and hopes to find an imbecile to buy it
again"

Dora arrived from Behring sea last night
and brings the first detailed news of IL @
capture of the British sealer Blatk
Diamond by the United States revenue
cutter Richard Rush, July IL. The Rush
overlook the Black Diamond and ordere d
her to heave to. The captain of the Black
Diamond refused. Thereupon the com
mander of the Rush ordered the lowering
of the ports and running out of the guns,
which caused the schooner to heave to.
Captain Sheppard and Lieutenant futile
boarded the English craft and asked
for her papers. The officers of the Black
Diamond offered no armed resistance but
refused to deliver up the ships papers
Captain Sheppard broke open the cabin,
forced the hinges OFF the strong box and
the captains chest, thereby securing the
papers. A search of the vessel disclosed
100 sealskins taken in Behring sea. Cap
tain Sheppard placed a on-commissioned
officer from the Rush in charge of the
Black Diamond, and ordered the vessel
taken to Sitka The captain of the Black
Diamond made statement that when in
Victoria he had been ordered to pay no at
tentioE in case he was overtaken by the
Rush and requested to heave to. He said
he would not nave surrendered if the Rush
had had an inferior force to that of his own.
A passenger who arrived here last night on
the steamer Dora said: ''On our way down
from St Paurs island we saw six sealers
and the Rush closely in pursuit. We left
St Paul's island on the 14th and on the
following day saw the Rush in pursuit of
her prey. Undoubtedly by this time the
Rush has made additional captures

Bachelor & Co, Failnre

| BosToN, July 20.-The failure of the
boot and shoe firm of Z. & A. II.
Bachelor s. Co., of Boston and North
Brookfield, was announced this morning
with liabilities of 100000 and nominal as.
sets, probably about the same amount The
assignment is made for the benefit of credi-
tors to Thomas E. Proctor and r. e.
Bachelor, of Brookield. A meeting Of
the creditors will be called as soon as a
definite statement can be given. The firm
Is one OF the Oldest in its line in the
country, being established in 1919 The
factory at North Brookfield is one of the
largest and best equipped in the country
ana gives employment to II, 900, calling for
weekly payroll of over one hundred
dustry in the town and it is a heavy blow
to the town.
This was one of the ten firms in Worcester
that had long contest with the Knigli of
Lobor, lasting five months in 1887, and the
struggle, which resulted in victory for
the manufacturers, was very expensive
and has doubtlessly contributed to the
present reimbursement.
The immediate cause of the failure is the
large losses made by A. a. Bachelor, out
side of the business and tie fact that re-
cent large failures in the leather trade
mad occurred, followed by Lewis Brothers,
failure, added to the i'll health of the
senior member of the firm, have rendered
1t difficult to obtain money on the firms
commercial paper. 1t is undoubtedly a
time when the manufacturing business is
profitable and it makes it likely that the
business will be resumed under the some
arrangement between the firm and its
creditors

Harrison,s letter 70 Se1ton.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Inquiry was made
at the state department to day as to
whether or not any action would be taken
upon the report from Dublin that the letter
written by President Harrison to Lord
Mayor Sexton, acknowledging the receipt
of his message conveying resolutions of
sympathy with the sufferers by the Johns
town food, had been opened in transit. One
of the officials said that it was not probable
that any action would be taken unless tho
matter was brought to the attention of the
department officially, which has not been
done 1t often happens that seals are
dent that caused the suspicion of tampering
in this. case.

They were told that they would have no

five years, and this was fully explained to

paying taxes, even on personal property.

Especial to THE HERALD.-Exaniner Dispatchl
SAVANNAH, Ca, July 30.-As fast as one
leader is taken from the Liberty county
sable children of the wilderness another
springs up to take his place. Dupont Bell
preached six weeks and was sent to the
insane asylum. Edward James assumed
the leadership and kept it until Wednesday,
when he was arrested and sent to Hines
vile. He has very slight built, coal
black, rice field negro, who filed the posi-
ton of high priest. He was known as
Shaderach Walthour until he went crazy
through Bell and James, when he took the
title of King Solomon. Now all his be-
levers address HIM as KING.
Your correspondent, Sunday, visited the
fanatics camp. The band worship under
the shadow of a huge oak. For five miles
around are empty cabins and deserted corn
patches
The king looks anywhere from thirty
five to eighty years old. He had on his
head an old white hat. He was coatless,
but wore vest that once was white. He
wore tarred strings as suspendeIs for
holding up a pair of poverty scared trousers
He paced around the circle and thrice
across. Turning quickly he asked in q
sharp voice, pitched high, "Who are you?"
Children of the wilderness" answered
every throat in perfect concert. =" Who

"Whose children are you?"

Yes.n
n l.
The answers were given in chorus,
hundred to hundred and fifty voices
responding.
The other questions and answers were
utterly childish and ridiculous. The
hymns were barbaric plantation ditties,
half scriptural, half heather, and as his
hearers grew excited many began to dance
in the centre of circle of women bound
ing like ballet girls. In a cabin near by
was Queen Mary. a lank sickly negress,
fifty years old. Atnoon a band of fifteen
or twenty burly black turpentine han Is
who wanted to break up the sect suddenly
appeared upon the scene, several of whom
had wives and daughters in the crowd. The
women are the most gullible p ortion of the
blacks and have been led into disgrace
full concubinage and free love practices.
The turpentine hands were bent on accom-
plishing their mission and bloodshed was
imminent. Finally compromise was
patched up, Solomon agreeing to disband
his followers to-day. Fifty men, white and
black, have agreed to surround the camp
and capture the ringleaders of the men and
women and tie them to trees and whip them
until they swear not to go back to the
meeting place again.
The free love doctrines which James
taught have excited the respectable colored
people until they are in mood to make short
work of the ringieaders. Four people have
gone raving mad and over three hundred
have had their minds unbalanced.
