Canadians ChuckIe.

TORONTO, Ont, August GA special from
Ottawa to the Empire, the government
organ, says: "rhere was considerable chuck
ling here at the news from Victoria of the
safe arrival there of the sealer Black Dia-
mond, although there is naturally much re-
sentiment at the outrageous conduct of
Captain Shepard in forcibly breaking the
ships lockers. Captain Shepards action
and that of his government affords a
very remarkable contrast to tho treatment
extended to the United States fishing vessels
that have been seized or detained for trans
gressons of the Canadian fishing laws on the
Atlantic.
apart from the recent seizure the conduct
of Captain Shepard must of necessity engage
the most serious attention Of the home gov
ernment. In this case a vessel having II
British register and flying the British flag is
boarded on the high seas and forcibly
searched. Under these circumstances it is
surely due to British vessels pursuing a legit-
innate calling that the imperial government
take prompt and decisive measures TO pro-
tect its commerce beyond the territorial
waters of the United States or aGy other
country"
Collector Hamley telegraphed the minis
ter of customs later that the Black Diamonds

tificate of registry-as we'll as her sailed skins

NO QUARTER GIVEN.
Hippolyte Butchers Prisoners and
Legitime RetaIiates.

New York, August 6.--The Times this
morning had dispatch from Port-au-Prirce,
Hayti, dated July %, which state, that Legi-
time cut the throats Of eight prisoners of
war in the market place, in retaliation of the
butchery of prisoners by Hippolyte. Hippo
lyte Is advancing nearer and nearer each day.
Time and again the southern leader has pre-
pared for fight, but on each occasion the APP
peals Of the people and the representations
of his generals have induced him to hold a
little longer Fear bordering on frenzy ap-
pears to have seized hold of many of Legi-
times soldiers; they refuse to stand, aud 1t
only remains for the contagou to become
universal to enable Hippoyte to march unop-
posed into the capital of the south.
The idea of offering quarter to surrender
ing troops has long died out. and capture
now means something worse than death.
The inhabitants Of Port-au-Prince expect
no mercy should Hppolyte's men ever force
an entrance into the city.
Despair has seized many, while others
await the end with Indifference.
On July 26 Hippolyte made an attack on
one of Legitime's strongholds. All the
available men in the city were pushed for
ward and, with considerable impetuosty,
attacked Hippolyte. The latter beat hasty
retreat, carrying away with him eighteen OF
the garrison. OF these unfortunate men,
some were shot on reaching Hippolyto's
camp, others had their throats cut in sight
of the army, and others were executed for
the amusement of the troops. Spies reported
this act to Legitme and the latter ordered
all the prisoners on hand taken to the mar
ket place. There were eight OF them in ALL
and, tied arm to arm, they were led,
strongly guarded to the open square. Here
au immense crowd had collected One by
one the men were gagged, and then their
throats were cut with the utmost delibera-
ton, the crowd yelling vocferously as each
man fell quivering to the ground. One man
managed to tear off his gag, and filled the
air with the most piercing cries of fright.
This pleased the crowd so much that the
gags of all the remaining prisoners were
taken off, and the cries of agony of the
wretched men fairly rent the air. When
the butcher was completed great cheer for
Legitme went up from the crowd, and it
was evident that the southern leader had
gained a point in the confidence of his fol-
lowers.
The American consul and the captain Of
an Atlas line steamer witnessed the above
scene, and can verify the report.

THE SPOKANE FALLS FIRE.
1t Might Have Been Checked But for
Negligence.
THE LOSS OVER TEN MILLIONS.
Laws Will Be Enacted to Prevent n
Repetition-Hotelsa and Restaur-
ants Will Not BE Allowed
TO Advance Prices.


SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, August 6.-The
wires are in such condition that somewhat
fuller particulars can be given of Sundays
conAagration. When the fire started the
spectators supposed it would be speedily
brought under control by the firemen. This
could have been done IL better precautions had
been taken, but the superintendent of the
waterworks was out of the city and for some
reason the men in charge failed to respond
to the call for more pressure. The fire
spread rapidly and block after block yielded
to the demon of destruction.
The Grand hotel, Washington block,
Eagle block, Tull block, New Granite block,
Cushing building, Falls City opera house,
Hyde building, all the banks aud, in fact,
every house between Railroad avenue north
to the river, and from Lincoln street east to
Washington street, with the exception of a
few buildings in the northeast corner, were
totally destroyed. Meanwhile a sudden
change in the direction OF the wind carried
the fire southwark across Railroad avenue
aud destroyed the Northern Pacific passen-
ger and freight depots and several cars. The
freight depot was splendid structure and
was filed to the roof with valuable local
merchandise, very little of which was saved
About 10 o'clock the Howard street bridge
over the river went down. a boom of logs
took fire and burned for hours on the surface
of the river. Many times pillars of fire covered
Touring mills that line Its banks. BY heroic
effort its career was checked on the south
side of the stream.
The burned district embraces thirty blocks
besides the depot. The only brick business
houses left are the Crescent block and Amer
icap theater. The schools, churches, college
and hospital were beyond the line of the
burned district and more were lost.
1t is impossible at present TO estimate the
loss with any degree of accuracy, but it will
not fall short of $4,000, 200, with an lnsur
ance of about half that amount. The banks
have obtained temporary quarters and sew
eral have opened for business.
The work of clearing the debris away has
already commenced, and the work Of re.
building will begin at once. The firemen
are blowing down dangerous walls and the
militia company is guarding the burned DIS
trict, while mounted police patrol the entire
city.
The city council held meeting last night
and discussed a resolution prohibiting the
erection of wooden buildings in the burned
district. A mass meeting of citizens sus-
tanned it, and the measure will be passed by
the council at its meeting Wednesday even
ing. The council passed a resolution revok-
ing the license of all hotels and restaurants
and dealers in provisions who advance their
prices. Only two saloons remain, and they
have been closed by order OF the mayor.

A Severe ElectricaI storm.

WAHoo, Neb., August 6.-TSpecial Tele.
gram to THE BEE. Last night occurred
one of the severest electrical storms and
heavy rains ever experienced in this part of
the country. From midnight till nearly
o'clock the heavens were livld with lightning

appalling. The rain fell in torrents. Nearly
six inches of water fell in as many hours.
The dammage cannot be estimated. Crops in

FORGERIES ON A LARGE SCALE.
A Young Lawyer at Minneapolis Robs

MINNEAPoLIs, Minn,, August Especial
Telegram to THE BEE. l-Socety and busi-
ness cir cles are agitated by the discovery
that furgeries to the amount of nearly $780,
600 have been committed IN the name of John
S. Blaisdel, one of the oldest, wealthest and
best Known residents of Minneapolis. A
young lawyer In this city, who is
we'll known and whose father
is worthy and prominent man,
has been robbing Mr.. Blalsdel for long
time by series of systematic forgeries, ana
when the fact was discovered, day or two
ago, the total of the amount of his gains was
in the ncighborhood s29O,OO0. Owing to the
previous good character of the man and the
high social and business position of the
young fellows family, settlement was
agreed on. The understanding IS that
the whole amount obtained on Mr..
Blaisders signature will be returned
to that gentleman. Mr.. Baisdell has placed
latter has been busy with it for two days,
and to-day was locked in his private Office
with three detectives all day long. A re-
porter called at his house last evening, but
Mr.. Davis refused to see him, saying that he
was i'll and could see no one. The
large amount of the forgeries together
with the social and business prominence of
all parties concerned, promises to make the
case one Of the most sensational ever known
in tho northwest. 1t is understood that If
the matter ls settled it will be done to-mor-
row and If not. u criminal action will be

DROWNING OF BYKER BRUCE.
A Mysterious Something Which Is
Buzzlinn Many BeonIe

A Mysterious Something Which Is
Puzz!inR Many People.
Boston, Mass, August 6-[Special Tele
gram to The BEE. j. Purvis Bruce, the
well-known bicyclist, was drowned Sunday
afternoon while bathing in Chauncey pond,
at Westboro. His sad end brings to light a
remarkable and strong coincidence that
looks almost as q provdential warning.
Bruce was known all over the country He
was better known in cycling circles as
"Jack" He was the son of Louisiana
planter and lived many years IN England.
For a time he was on the staff of the Mime
apols Tribune, but since May has been con-
nected with the White Cycle company, with
headquarters at Westboro. Last Monday
week the firm received dispatch from Min
nea polls, signed by j. Stickwell, inquirng if
Bruce was dead, saying there
was an unaccountable rumor In
thau city, which coulu not be
traced to any source, that he was drowned.
The dispatch was kept several days until Mr..
Bruce returned, he being absent when it ar
rived, and Saturday he replied to it in
genial manner, saying he was alive and
would send his inquirer a circular of the
firm. The following afternoon he decided TO
take advantage of the warm weather TO en-
Joy SWIM in Chauncey pond. He hired
boat and, going out short distance, un-
dressed. Getting INTO the water he swan
about the boat several times. Friends
watched him from the shore, when he sud
denly threw up his hands and with cry,
sank out of sight. 1t was Monday afternoon
before his body was recovered His father
is in Scotland and his sister in Germany.
The White company will see to his burial
When the news of his death reached Boston
it was believed to be hoax, Its verifcation
lead to the strange continuation of the
strange Minneapolis inquiry.
