The Little American Boat Getting 10
Some Fine Work on John

VICTORIA, B. c.. August 21-Y Yester
day the steamer O!ympiau brought from
Port Townsend, Captain Alger, of the
American schooner Allie l. Alger, and
one of his hunters, both fresh from
Behring Sea, and they brOugh. news of
importance with them.
The Captain was interviewed and said:
"On the Both of July we we're in Behring
Sea, as nearly as we can judge about so
miles west Of st. Paul, when We sighted
the steamer Rush steaming up to us on
our quarter. We at once hove to. Some
minutes afterwaId boat put of from the
Rnsh, and Lieut.. Tuttle boarded our ves-
sci. He asked for my papers, viii IN I at
once handed him, and after perusing them
he proceeded with two men to search the
ship. He didn't find anything, however,
though it is not to say there was nothing
to fad aboard.
AFTER coming out of the hold, when he
had finished searching the ship, l said TO
Lieut.. Tnttle: We'll, what luck have you
had in the search?' He said: 'I'll tell
you: % the 18th of July We captured the
Black Diamond and dispatched her to
Sitks with man on board TO take charge
of her. On the 231 of July we sighted the
schooner Minnie. Her owner, Captain
jacobson, was aboard at the time, and she
had S43 seals. We took possession of her
and dispatched her 20 Sitka also Yester-
day (29ih Of July we bore down on the
Pathfinder and found 500 sealskins aboard
OF her. We put another man aboard of her
and ordered her off TO Sitka IS well. Last
week we boarded both the Ariel and the
Theresa; they also had some skins aboard,
but we let them 20 as they had been too
lOI g there, aud ordered them Off the sea-
After telling ne this the Lieutenant
told me had better get out of the sea at
once and was then pulled aboard the cut
tel which hesded for the East We then
set sail for the South and arrived Monday
at Noah Bay. l left nay schooner there
and came up from Cape Flattery to Port
Townsend. l caught the Oiympian and
have Just reached Victoria. Ny schooner
will, expect, be on the road TO SEATTLE
now. leave here on the Olympian to-
day to IejOin her"
Intense excitement prevails in this city.
Both Of the seized schOOners are we'll
known here and their catch is very val
liable one. The Alger had 300 skins when
boarded. 1t now appears that on the trip
down Capt. Alger sighted frat the Minnie
and then the Pathfinder, each with one
man as a prize crew aboard. Both sig.
nailed their intention of not going to Sitka
at all but Ct coming to Victoria, so that
within 81 hours we may expect to see them
in the harbor. When Lieut.. Tuttle went
aboard the Alger several of his sailors ex
pressed themselves as heartily sick Of their
work.
A public indignation meeting will be
held by Mayor Grant tomorrow. Capt.
Alger was closeted with the American
| Vics Corsul for two hours.

one OF the four wings you again have your
choice of two paths, each filled on both
sides with exhibits. Perhaps the better
plan will be to take the right hand aisle
and keep to the right side Of it all the way
around until you find yourself at the start
ing point. By making this circuit you
have seen sights which are worth twice the
price of your admission, but you have
seen only half of one building
At one place you stop to admire an i'm
mense display of art, crowded into a space
seemingly impossible, yet you were able
to see each snd every article. If you are
interested in fancy work, you notice
at a single glance articles enough
to take person two or three
life times to manufacturer. This depart
ment is in charge of Mrs. A. c. Egerter
and committee of ladies. You have
found exhibits of nearly every class of
merchants. You have seen The finest piano
you ever saw, while Immediately at the
next booth yOG find large and valuable
displays of dry goods or china ware. Still
you have only seen half Of one building
Now you start over the same ground. this
time keeping to the opposite side of the
aisles, and you find more and different
exhibits, such as writing machines, sewing
machines, tobaccos, etc.
At the end of the first wing you etop 10
admire the fountain and aquarium, sur
rounded with rare plants and flowers. One
spray of water has charge of an egg-shell,
which it keeps jumping, while another
furnishes the power for cate little saw
mill. In the aquarium You notice a num-
ber of species OF the tinny tribe, and all in
all it forms grand centre for q grand
building.
You sgain move of and see more ex-
hibits, but never seem to tire, for each has
some new and attractive feature. By the
time you reach your starting place second
time, you look at your watch and find you
have spent nearly two hours on the fair
grounds and have seen lots Cf interesting
sights, but still you have been through
but one building. You still have before
you the long lows OF fine horses and
cattle, sheep and swine, the Horticultural
and Machinery Halls, not forgetting the
Poultry Department, and numerous out
side attractions.
By the time you are compelled to return
to your home, you are no doubt tired, but
you have gotten many times the worth Of
your money and have learned many use
ful points. Above all you are pleased with
what you have seen and pronounce the
West Virginia State Fair success in every
particular.

A New Pest Appears to Threaten the
Crop.
MEMPHIS, TENN, August 21.-Cater-
pillars have made their appearance in
great numbers in Concordia Parish, Louis
lana, and Central Mississippi, adjacent 70
that parish, and are devastating the cotton
crop. The planters are much alarmed,
and have ordered many tons of Paris green
from New Orleans and other points to poi
son the worms and stop their rsvages. The
indications are that the worms will sweep
the cotton crop in the worm district, as
the conditions are very favorable for them,
the plant being full o. sap from the late
rains, unless they be checked with poison,
which will cost the planters considerable
cash and labor.

GLANCE at the Main Building-What You
VIII Find There.
The management of an industrial expo
stion is a task OF no mean proportions.
The West Virginia Exposition and State
Fair Association claims to have accom-
plished it with success. The grounds OF
this Association with its numerous build
ings and attractions, is striking monu-
ment of that public spirit and unselfish
desire to help humanity, which is the out
growth of the efforts of the West Virginia
State Fair Association in organizing and
managing it's exhibitions of industrial skill.
1t can rot be too strongly stated that the
prime basis OF all the West Virginia State
Fair Exposltions has been the public good.
When there has been surplus it mas been
advanced to the succeeding exposition or
has been put into permanent buildings.
The idea Of serving the public has always
prevailed and has always operated to en-
tirely oyerpower all efforts to gain money
for any other purpose than paying legih-
mate expenses or aiding future exhibitions.
Therefore, for as many years as these e1-
hibitions have been held. the people OF
West Virginia have had shining example
of unselfsh public spirit and local patriot
ism.
We shall give you On idea of what you
will find by attending one Of these fairs.
After managing to get inside the gates,
YOU find yourself in the midst OF a surging
mass of humanity, and you are at loss
which wsy to turn. As its name implies,

Ellingsworth did the first leading with
out effect, reaching for KelleheT's wind
once and again. The round ended without
any effective work being done.
From the second to the end Of the sixth
round both men spared very cautiously,
Elingsworth generally on the aggressive.
Once Kelleher got his left on Ellingsworth's
ear, when the latter tried to reach his oppo-
nent's wind, but failed.
In the seventh round, after some clever
eparring, Kelleher got in his right and left
on ElliDgsworth's face. After cliDch eel
leher followed with his right on Filings
