Hawkins from the start saw it was impos-
sible to attempt to take charge of affairs,
and consequently lay in his bunk nearly the
whole time not attempting to interfere
Hawkins SAYS he was treated kindly by
everybody. When he was put aboard the
steamer he said to his officers: Instead
OF taking her to Sitka they may 60 to VIC

Mr.. Hanley, collector of customs at Vic

Hawkins was put aboard the Black Dia-
mond the people on the Rush did not care
whether she came to Victoria or not, as
long rs she got out Of Behring sea and
stopped destroying seals. Hawkins has
told everything to the American consul
there, who has wired the Washington au-

creeping toward tho crib in spite Of the
strong northeast wind. Mayor Cregier
and several officials made tour of inspec-
ton and found the lake water almost
black for some distance ont. gray
streak could be distinctly seen almost 10

river flowing into the lake at the rate Of
about two miles an hour, aud large
amount Of refuse matter accompanied the
river in its journey towards the source Ut
Chicago's water supply. The bodies of
several dead dogs and cats were seen
floating leisurely under the Dearborn

garbage was also passing into the lake.
Every paper in the city Is sounding the
