About the Matter.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-The warlike
dispatches from British Columbia with
regard to expected trouble between the
United States and Great Britain over the
Behring's sea seal fisheries, are generally
discredited by officers OF the navy depart
meDt. 1t is pointed out that no officer OF
rank sufficiently high to make him ac-
quainted with the English governments
purposes would. under any circumstances.
be so foolish as to talk in the manner
stated in the dispatches from Victoria,
BIC.
A prominent naval officer, to-day, said
the United States had no reason to appre-
bend any difficulty. Great Britain surely
would not commit any overt act OF vio-
lence in case her sealers were arrested, with.
outwarning this government uf it's inten.
tions. A warning that Great Britain
would, by force. dispute 20. ---
THE SOVEREIGNTY OF BEHRINa SEA
had never been communicated to the United
States and this alone showed the improba.
bility OF the story.
It might be that the vessels named were
going to Behring sea, though that was by
no means certain. Their duties there.
however, would probably consist in nothing
more than keeping watch on the situa-
ton to prevent their citizens from being
wantonly illused and giving sealers good
advice. If our vessels attempted anything
that was unwarranted, it might be that
the British officers would feel called upon
to interfere.
The United States sent vessels tc the
Newfoundland fisheries each year to look
after American interests, and British ves-
sells probably had a similar mission in
Alaskan wa ters, presuming that they would
60 there at all.
The Udited States navalf forces at present
available in Behring sea consist Of the
Bear, the Thetis and revenue cutter.
These vessels are of no use for actual war
fare and are simply
POLICEMEN OF THE SEA.
The Adams and Iroquois are at Mare
island and could be sent to sea at short no.
tice if circumstances demanded. The
Charleston is also at San Francisco, but it
will be some time before she will be ready
to 60 into commission. She has demon

were waived under stress of emergency 1t
would take some time to fit her out for SER

However, naval officers do not think the
situation at all alarming or even threaten.
ing. The Behring sea fisheries, they are
confident, will not precipitate q conflict
between the United States and Great
Britain.

/ LONDON. May 29.-Mauriee Healy. mem
Der Of parliament, before the Parneli COM
mission to-day, admitted that the Cork
branch OF the league received applications
from other branches for list Of merchants
who were members of the league in order
that other merchants might be boycotted.
Healy held it to be legitimate to place such
pressure upon shopkeepers.
Joseph Biggar, member OF parliament
testified that he had been member OF the
supreme council Of the Fenian Brotherhood.
but had been expelled in TT for adyocat-
ing constitutional action. He Joined the
land league in 1879. He declared the mean.
ing OF the speech me made at Cork in the
spring OF 1880, in which he referred to the
anarchist Hartmann as having imitators
in Ireland, had been misunderstood, as the
fact was he was only a warm supporter oi
the whiggish candidate. The disgust OF the
people was likely to result in
THE USE OF DYNAMITE.
In a subsequent speech at Castletown he
advised the people to take care that the
land they occupied should be OF no value
to land grabbers. He further said it was
no part OF the leagues duty to recommend
the shooting OF landlords, but that it was
it's duty to defend anybody charged with
shooting landlords or their agents. He
said that because no confidence was placed
in the administration OF the law, and he
held that the league ought to defend pris-
Uhnco cripooa WQ fhn nrtcnmQ
of bad laws. He and Patrick Egan were
trustees Of the funds OF the league. He
could not associate Egan or Sheridan with
outrages.
All the important books OF the league
had been removed to England, and were
very bulky. He did not know whether any
OF the
BOOKS HAD BEEN DESTROYED.
He has not the slightest motion Of what
became OF the missing documents. o.
Riggar said he had contributed nothing to
the Fenian funds. His object in joining the
Brotherhood was to obtain it's assistance
in parliamentary elections.
Sir Henry James for tho "Times" cross
examined Biggar. The witness said he
never took part in the work of leagues as
treasurer, never drew check or saw q
bank book. He was naturally indulent
and left the work to Others. He did not
know where the money dealings of the
league were kept nor did he even know why
he had been associated with Egan as
treasurer. Just before the suppression OF
the land league most OF the books were
removed. Thirty-two books had been
handed to Soames, solicitor for the
"Times."
Presiding Judge Hannah remarked that
this was the first time he heard about these
books. ~ -... ....
Sir Henry James said it was q mistake,
as no such books were in Soames' posses
sion.
