THE DAILY
LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

By the S. S. Mariposa, which
arrived on Saturday last at 5 p. M,
we have news from the Coast to
August 24th-eight days later than
what was brought by the S. S. Aus
tralia.
In foreign politics nothing of
very important nature had occurred.
The Behring sea trouble is still in
allegiance; although two other sail
ing vessels, belonging to Canada,
had been seized by the United States
cruiser Rush" The British gov
eminent has also warned Canadian
sealers that their operations in Beh-
ring sea are at their own risk, and the
Imperial government has refused to
dispatch war vessels to Alaskan
waters in the meanwhile, or until
some more definite arrangement can
be had with the authorities at Wash
ington.
Regarding the Terry tragedy, the
funeral of Judge Terry had taken
place quietly, and at last accounts
Mrs. Sarah Althea Terry was staying
at the Lick House, San Francisco,
refusing to be interviewed. Peo-
pie talk now much more calmly
over the matter than when the last
steamer left; and, although it is
generally admitted that Terry's
death was a relief and that he had
outlived his usefulness, yet Deputy
Marshal Neagle is blamed for taking
life SO hastily, and especially for
firing the second shot. Judge Field
had been arrested, but was immedi-
ately released on a writ of habeas
corpus made returnable August
9th. It appears from all the evi-
dence up to the date when the Mari
posa left, that Judge Field was IN
armed at the time of the tragedy,
and that the swearing out of the
warrant was wanton act of vindic-
tiveness. The property left by Judge
Terry is variously estimated at from
$4,000 to 100000; but it is very
heavily mortgaged. Neagle has
heen removed from the Jurisdiction
of the State Courts of California
and placed under that of the Federal
Circuit Court. He IS now in San
Francisco Jail and his case will come
on Immediately after that of Justice
Field. The latter case will doubt
less be dismissed.
Business was steady throughout
the Pacific States, but there was no
active speculation. The report of
the sugar market appears in another
column.
John L. Sullivan had been SEN
fenced to twelve months imprison-
ment at hard labor; but an appeal to
the Supreme Court of Mississippi
had been noted, and he was out on
$1,000 bail. When last heard from,
Sullivan had arrived back in Boston.
Kilrain had been arrested at Balti-
more, and left there for Mississippi,
but had not arrived there at latest
dates.
Meetings to further movements
regarding assistance to trans Pacific
steamship and cable lines had been
held in San Francisco, and increased
interest is being taken in these i'm
portant matters by mercantile men
in the United States.
The new cruiser Charleston had
made several trial trips, and had
attained a speed of over nineteen
knots.
General W. II. Dimond had re-
signed his position as Park Commits
