learned OF the alleged destruction OF the

Assistant Secretary Wharton interviewed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Acting Secretary
Wharton was asked this morning if the
state department had anything to say
respecting the escape of the British sealer,
Black Diamond. 1.-THE department, y
Wharton replied, ''has not been advised of
the seizure of the Black Diamond or any
other vessel, and has no news whatever
upon the subject and therefore has no
statement to make in regard to its future
action in the matter"
"Have you seen the statement that it
was the desire to let the Black Diamond
escape after taking the seals and therefore
but one man was put aboard her from the
Rush?"
mo- said Wharton, II have not seen
that statement and have no means of know
ing that it is true"
Continuing, Wharton said: This whole
matter of the seizure of these vessels, so
far as it has gone, is under the control and
direction of the treasury department If
there is any blame attached to these seiz-
ures it must be laid at the door of Congress.
1t passed a Inv directing the President to
issue his proclamation extending to the
American waters in Behring sea the same
protection over the seal and other fur bear
ing animals as is accorded the fnr-bearing
inhabitants Of Alaska and the waters
thereof by the general act of fisheries, and
that law is simply being enforced. That is
what we are here fOr-to carry out the laws
that Congress enacts. So far this question
has not become an international one. The
state department has not been informed
officially of any part of the proceedings. and
therefore has nothing to act upon"

FORT WORTH, Tex, Aug. Six masked
men stopped the Fort Worth g. Denver
mail and express southbound between
Cheyenne water tank and Tascosa earlv
yesterday morning. Three men got on Tue
locomotive and compelled the engineer to
pull away from the passenger coaches,
which had been detached by the robbers
and left under guard of the other three.
After going half mile they compelled the
engineer to leave the locomotive and bring
a pick to force open the door of the express
car. Express Messenger March, seeing
what was up, barricaded his doors and
secreted all the express packages but three,
after which he let the robbers in under a
threat of being shot. They took the three
packages and then compelled the mail agent
to open the door of his car. He had hidden
all his registered matter but one letter I'M
der sack. The robbers got the one pack
age and then opened and scattered the con-
tents of the mail pouches on the floor. At
ter doing their work they ordered the engi-
neer to pull out When they were gone the
authorities in several of the neighboring
counties were notified and are in pursuit
1t is said that the total amount stolen is
less than $1,000. The robbers fired twenty
or twenty-five shots into the mail and ex
press cars. The passengers were greatly
frighted, but none of them were molested
in any Way. ~.
