THE SEIZED SEALERS.
The London Times" Advocates Wig
Orous Measures.

The London Chimes" Advocates Wig
] OrOus Measures.
LONDON, August 23-The London
Press Association says the English Gov
eminent has intimated to the United
States Government it's willingness to
negotiate settlement of the Behring
! sea matter, and now awaits the Amer
lean Governments reply.
The Times says there is curious
wants of seriousness about the Behring
sea seizures. 1t appears to be intended
to brighten away Victorian sealers by the
sham formalities of capture and not to
exact the usual penalties. America ap-
pears to think that this course will
appease the Alaska company, please the
Irish electors, and yet not provoke
British reprisals; but she has no right to
play game of "bounce" with weapons
of illegal capture and search. Unless Eng
land takes some active measures America
will be perfectly content with an inter-
change of views till doomsday. The
Americans will not find us unreasonable
on the score of preserving seals from
extinction, but if they persist in refusing
to discuss any settlement, our only
course is to take vigorous steps to insure
that our rights are respected.
OTTAWA, August 23-It is now admit
ted in political circles here that Lord
Stanley has made urgent representa-
tions regarding the recent seizures in
Behring sea- A leading official of the
Fisheries department says he feels GER
tain that an international commission
will be appointed after the expiration of
the Alaska Commercial Company's con-
tract to settle the Atlantic and Behring-
sea question. He feels confident that
compensation for the late seizures will
be paid the Canadian yessel-owners.
Hon. Mackenzie Rowell, Minister of
Customs, has telepraphed to Victoria
| for information regarding the recent
seizures in the Behring sea. He ex-
presses himself as pleased with the at
titude assumed by the London Times
on this question.
A rumor is current tonight that pro-
posals have been sent from Washington
| to London as basis of settlement of the
Behring sea dispute, and it is for the
purpose of considering it that an impor-
tant meeting of the Cabinet has been
called 1t is impossible, however, to
verify the statement. Those possessed
of the facts maintain that the cores
pondence received from the British Gov
eminent is confidential and will not be
made public.
OTTAWA, August 24.-People here are
highly indignant over the apparent
apathy of the British Government re-
garding the seized sealers. It is rumored
in official circles, that the Imperial Gov
eminent has ordered the British war
ships of the Pacific station to keep away
from Behring sea.

People who believe that the re-
ported demand for American brew
cries in London is all moonshine,
will doubtless be surprised to learn
that within the past six months over
$30,OOO,OO0 of English money has
been invested in Eastern concerns.
Within the past fortnighta call for
some $10,O00,000 on additional shares
of couple of new enterprises, was
responded to with offers of ten times
the amount. On one TRANSACTION

A Proposed Game.

A novel game of chess has been pro-
posed. Three of the players reside on
Kauai and three in this city. Theil
moves will be made by correspondence
so that only one move week will be
made, unless opportunities offer for cor
respondence twice week. How this
will work, remains to be seen; but il
seems as if it would be altogether toe
slow for this practical go-a-head age
when players want to finish at one sit
ting. However, the long time between
the moves will afford the players a
chance to study out some new schemes
that have not yet been discovered in thi
game.

Of the fly species the horse fly is the
most cruel and bloodthirsty of the entire
family. He is armed with a most for
midable weapon, which consists of four
lancets, so sharp and strong that they
will penetrate leather. When not in use
they are nicely folded away in sucker.
He makes his appearance in June, and
may often be seen in the vicinity of small
streams of water. He is said to subsit in
part upon an airy diet, and to pass his
life harmlessly. Not SO the female, for
she is armed with six lancets, with which
she bleeds both cattle and horses, and
even human beings. She lays her eggs
in moist places, land after they are Matched
into footless maggots, they make all nee
essary journeys by stretching and closing
the segments of their bodies, their heads
being supplied by two hooks, by which
they get their food. In process of time
this maggot goes down into moist earth,
where it reposes for some weeks, after
which it bursts the pupa case, and comes
forth a large black fly, armed and
equipped like its predecessors. Country
