The Behring Sea Trouble.

The Canadian excitement over the
seizure of the sealing vessel "Black Dia-
mond," appears, so far, to be tempest
in a teapot The event has created very
little comment in either army or navy
circles in the United States.
The dispatch to the San Francisco
Chronicle dated August LIST says:
1t is understood that before he left
this country for England Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British Minister, was
in consultation with Secretary Blaine in
reference to this very matter, as well as
the Atlantic seaboard fisheries.
1t is asserted that Sir Julian told the
Secretary of State that the British Gov
eminent is as DESTROYS of preventing the
determination of the fur seals as is the
American Government, but the British
are not willing to admit the claim of the
United States that Behring sea is
closed sea.
The story states further that the prime
object OF the return of the British Min
lister was not, as reported, TO bring his
family over, although he Will bring them
with him on his return, but to secure
from the British Home Office the draft
OF a new convention covering many of
the subjects now in dispute. 1t is owing
to this fact undoubtedly that Assistant
Secretary Wharton expresses his I'M
qualified belief that the reported seizure
will not lead to any open rupture.
A gentleman who was strongly instru-
mental in securing the passage of the
bill for the protection Of the fur seal in
dus.ry. which is the basis of General
Harrison's proclamation of last March,
admitted frankly to-day that he did not
believe at the time he spoke in behalf OF
the bill on the floor of the House that
the United States could maintain its
position of exclusive jurisdiction over
the body of water known as Behring sea.
He said further that one of the objects Of
those who urged the passage of the bill
most strenuously was to bring about
some negotiations which would result in
an international agreement to protect the
breeding grounds and to prevent the
slaughter OF female seals.

Gabriel Arrested.

The mulatto, Gabriel, was arrested
Monday about 2:30 p. IN. on board the
steamer Mokolii, which sailed at p. m
for Molokai and Lanai. At the time
Gabriel was found, the police were
searching the vessel for Pat Hayes, and
discovered the mullato huddled up in
one Of the sailors hunks. He is now
booked in the police register on charge
of treason; and it appears he has been
in hiding, for the past twenty days,
somewhere in Kalihi valley, but had
made an attempt to get away to Molokai
by leaving his hiding place during night
and slowing himself on board the
steamer above named. He might have
succeeded in making his escape, had it
not been for the strict search to capture

Laupahoehoe News.

A sociable has just been given here to
Mr.. j. NJ. Lydgate as formal leave
taking previous to that gentleman's de-
parture from the district. The oppor-
tunity was chosen for the presentation
of watch and chain to him, as token
of appreciation of his untiring efforts to
provide intellectual amusement for the
residents, and for preaching on Sundays
and holding religious services here for
the past six years. Mr.. Lydgate has
preached his farewell sermon, ard it was
listened to by large congregation. He
leaves a vacancy in this community that
will be very hard to fill.
On Friday, the 9th of August, a native
boy about 10 years old, was drowned at
Laupahoehoe while fishing. 1t is sup
posed that heavy sea struck him and
stunned him. The body was found some
hours later floating in the bay. An in
quest was held by E. w. Barnard, cor
oner, at which a verdict of accidental
drowning was rendered. f.

THE DECEMBER ECLIPSE.
English Astronomical Expeditions VIII
be Sent to Cayenne and West Coast
of Africa.

English Astronomical Expeditions Will
be Sent to Cayenne and West Coast
of Africa.
LONDON, August Extensive prep
arations are being made to take observa-
tons Of the total eclipse next December
by the Royal Astronomical Society. W.
H. Wesley, assistant secretary, said to
the Herald correspondent to-day: eve
intend to send out two expeditions to
observe the eclipse-one to South
America and the other to West Africa.
The line of totality barely touches South
America along its northeast coast. 1t
passes across Africa, striking the west
coast near st. Paul de Loanda.
The expedition to South America will
probably go to Cayenne, in French
Guiana. This expedition is in charge of
Rev. S. ]. Perry, F. R. s., director of
the college observatory at Stowehurst.
Albert Taylor will be in charge of the
African expedition. Mr.. Taylor's party
will doubtless go to St. Paul de Loanda,
and then go hundred miles or more
down the coast or into the interior.
When asked about the matter Prof.
Lockyer said: "Our great point is this:
We want to find out if the spectrum of
the corona corresponds to that of the coal
meteorites. 1t may be that the promi-
nences which we have been thinking as
shot from gun by sort of violent ac-
ton are merely falls, either from the out
side or from the upper layers of the suns
atmosphere. If this is the case the
theory long ago suggested of meteoric
origin OF the sun will be revived into full
belief. 1t has already been proved by
Photographic work, by the Solar Physics
Committee, that the spectrum of the sun
corresponds exactly with that of meteor
ties at very high temperature. That
means both have the same components.
Now if the corona shows the same spec
trum as the coal meteorites we shall
know great deal more than we do now
about the components of the SUMS at
mosphere and the changes that are going
on. We may be able to prove that the
solar atmosphere becomes luminous from
the glowing of meteoric materials"
