ANOTHER WAR SCORE.
Three British Vessels Ordered t
 Alaskan Waters.
NO ALARM FELT HERE
the United States Wiu Not Go to WarAbout tho Seal Fisheri es-what Canadian Sealers Say

VICTORIA, B. C.. May 50. - Though matters have been kept very quiet as to the movements of war vessels which will sail for the north next month, 1t Is learned from reliable source that the flagship Swiftsure, the fast cruiser Amphion, the 1carus and two torpedo boats now here. and the war vessel Champion, now on the way from the south, have received orders to leave for Alaska waters as soon as the latter arrives, which will be the 10th of June at the latest. It Is we'll understood here that should British sealers be interfered with by American cruisers while prosecuting seal hunting without the three-league limit the Brit ish war vessels will protect them.
 The vessels are being stocked for long cruise. It Is stated that scaling masters were assured before clearingsfor Behring sea that they would be pYo tected The daily Colonist considersa rupture imminent between Great Britain and the United States. The majority Of the Victoria sealing schooners have now sailed for Behring sea to hunt tho fes- live seal, and the question arises dUokhe captains of the schooners inted to tamely submit to capture by United States rev. enue cutters ? The Victoria sealers go north with the conviction that Behring sea Is an open sea, and when outside of !he three-mile limit will forcibly protest against being eeized
 In conversation 0 well-known captain, who has gone up to the sea to hunt seals, stated before leaving that he would resist rapture. He was not inclined to shed blood, but if 0 United States cutter de- handed his surrender while in Behring sea outside of the three league limit, he intended there and then to refuse, and with his crew attempt to repeI being bcarded. He did not think firearms would be necessary, but if fired upon from cutters small boat he would not be responsible for his crews actions.
 WASHINGTON, May 3O.-Nobody at the state and navy departments expressed alarm at the news coming from Victoria. b.C., that the British North Pacific squad. ,on had been ordered to Behring sea. Commodore Walker, in charge of the de- tail office at the navy department, says that none of our naval vessele has been ordered to Alaska except the Thetis, which was assigned to that station some time ago, and has been regularly en- gagged in. patroling the Alaskan coast for several summers past. He says he does aot think Great Britain and the United States will go to war about the seal fish, sries.

As Good as AdvertisinU.

Belfast used to have an eccentric citf- zen of whom many stories are told. This man, known as Archie Harden, was once told by lady that somebody had stolen her ax. "Oh, ho," said he, ''I'll get it for you" He appointed prayer meeting for the next evening and after talking awhile, he stopped, looked over the con gregation a moment and said: "Some- body has stolen Sister Ps ax, and If it Is not brought back by tomorrow morning, will tell who has 1t. Glory to God. |" The ax was leaning against the woodpile next morning. It is also claimed that he reformed kicking COW by praying for her and that he once corrected 0 brother minister by stopping him in the middle of a sermon and praying over the mistake which he said the preacher had just made.--Lewiston Journal.

Pairing . ship

The keel Is laid down on blocks four or five feet apart, which form slope toward the water so that the hull may glide down easily when the time for launching comes. It is not keel at all, in the sense that the word was formerly used A modern ship has smooth bottom without any projecting ridge or break to the curve of her sides; it Is simply the center series of plates, from which an inner keel is built up like an enormous backbone, and to this the ribs are attached. The metal Is delivered at tho yard in the shape of angle iron or angle steel, the latter being the material which would be used in ship of the class we have in mind. Heated to white heat the angle bars arc drawn out of the furnace into perfectly level iron floor, upon which they are bent to the needed curve, and that which has been line of ink in the original drawing a chalk mark on the floor of the mold loft, and groove in the surface of the .'scrive board" is now embodied in the heavy rib of the ship.
 The bending Is done thus: The metal floor is perforated with thousands of holes, into which iron pegs are inserted until they form the curvature required, and the long, pliable bar of steel Is pressed against them until 1t corresponds exactly with the line exhibited in the 'sscrive board, which is always in sight of the workmen for guidance and com parison. In handling the metal the men use pitchforks, and, with the prongs in- serted In the holes, they get purchase enough to make the bar yield; if it bends upward q hammer is used upon it. Each rib has, of course, to be duplicated with the utmost precision in ordeGt that 1t shall be the same on both sides of the ship, and each, after it has cooled , Is laid upon the ::'scrive boaxd" and compared with the lines -theWon, every variation being corrected before it Is passed.l Having already been punched for rivets, it Is then marked with n chisel to show where rib bands, stringers, and deck beams are to fit into it.-Scribner's Magazine.

 Belgian Governmanf

BRUSSELS, May 30.-Since the recent trial of socialists and rioters at Mons there has been much excitement over the disclosure that the government had em. ployed secret detectives to go among the miners and others and pretend to es- pouse their cause and stir up disorder for the purpose of discovering the real leaders and inciters, especially Socialists.
 The subject was brought before the chamber on a resolution censuring the government for using such agents.
 After hot debate, lasting two days, a vote of confidence In the government was yesterday adopted by majority of 46.
 While the ministerialists were leaving the house they were attacked by a mob. The police, by hard fighting, succeeded 1n dispensing the mob, and the members were escorted to their homes in safety.
 Many of the rioters were arrested among them several Socialists.

THE HAITIAN QUESTION.
It is Solved and No Commission is
 Necessary,

WASHINGTON, May 3O.-There Is state ment floating around here among the gossipers to the effect that information had been received from Hayti announc- ing that the demand of the United States respecting coaling stations and territorial rights would be accorded without dispute and that the rebellion was at an end.
 The fact that Gen. Lew Wallace left yesterday afternoon with the presidential party, and that he will spend ten days as visitor to the West Point Military acad- emy and then go to his home In Indiana, together with the reported information from Hayti, gives oredence to the state- ment that there will be no Haytian com. mission appointed, the necessity for 1t having been removed.

Lake Henry's Moving Isln nd.

One of the most picturesque and re- .narkable bodies of water in the world Is Henry's Lake, in Idaho, according to the San Francisco Post. It Is situated on the dome of the continent in a depression in the Rocky mountains called Targee's pass. It has an area of forty square miles, and all around 1t rise snow-capped peaks, some of them being the highest of the continents backbone. In the lake is floating island about 300 feet in dt- ameter. It has for it's basis a mat of roots so dense that 1t supports large trees and a heavy growth of underbrush
 These roots are covered with several feet of rich soil. The surface Is solid enough to support the weight of horse anywhere, and there arc places where a house could be built. The wind blows the. island about the lake, and 1t seldom remains twenty-four hours in the same place.

 Dawson's Murder.

UaWsonVs Murder.
 CHARLESTON, 8. o., May 3O.-The jury to try T. B. McDow for the murder of F. w. Dawson, editor of the News and Courier, in March last, was drawn to- day. Out of thirty-six in the panel, four teen are negroes.
 This preponderance is unprecedented since 1876. Many friends of the mur- dered man claim the ballot box has been tempered with and that the colored peo- pie felt bitterly against the dead man, because he, in an editorial last year said the colored people did not hold morality In as high esteem as do the whites. The trial will be called June 27.
