report on the Railroad Land Forfeiture Bill
was taken up.
Morgan continued his argument in oppo-
sition
Morgan was followed by Sanders in favor
of the conference report, the main point of
his contention being that lands actually
patented 10 railroad companies could not be
taken from them because they turned out to
be mineral lands.
Hearst took a contrary view, and insisted
that mineral lands were specially reserved
by original grants.
Sanders said that in the courts Of Wash

the United States the Term mineral lands"
had been held to mean lands commercially
valued for mining purposes.
Without concluding his argument, Sanders
yielded for an executive session, and the

the United States steamer Ranger was on
board. Captain Pitts told him that he
feared trouble, and asked him to send ma
rines OIL board to protect the passengers.
He replied that he could not do it without
the order of the COmandante of the port.
After Captain Pitts received the letter
from the Minister he, in company with the
Commandante, went to the room of General
Barrundia, knocked at the door and was
received by the General The captain then
told him that he had this letter, but before
he could finish reading it Barrundia reached
to the bed drawer and picking up a revolver
fired point blank at the door. The captain
and the Comandante beat hasty retreat
aft Barrundia followed into the saloon and
fired again, the bullet passing close to the
captains head. Then the detectives fired at
him through the windows, and the General
turned en- them and the firing became general
on their part on one side and the Generals
on the other Finally Barrundia came out
OF the cabin to the deck, when one of the
detectives shot hin through the heart and
he fell on his face, then rolled over ON his
back.
The detectives then fired several shots
into his head. Finally they took the body
on shore. No one else was hurt, as all the
passengers had been sent below before the
trouble began. Probably twenty shots
were fired in all, and the rooms on the upper
deck bore testimony to the fusillade, they
being riddled with bullets.
Passengers on the steamer state that the
report of the attempted assassination of

SLAUGHTER OF SEALS.
Arrival Of Member Of Parliament to Make
an Investigation

an Investigation.
New YORK, Sept. 12.-Sir George Baden
Powell, member of Parliament, who ar
rived on the Teutonc, is here 10 inquire
into the fishery dispute. He says; There
are two points that tried to get evidence
on when | was on the Pacific Coast on
previous occasion. One is that these ma
rne sealers freely kill female seals because
they do not see any males to kill, which is
very destructive to any breeding animals; :;
and the other is, that by the way they have
of capturing them they lose nineteen out OF
twenty. Now, on the latter point all my
evidence shows that by certain methods of
capture, instead of losing nineteen out of
twenty, only one out of twenty is lost, and
it seems to me that in these proposed inter-
national regulations proper methods Of cap
ture could be set forth. But as for the
point of killing females, think more evil
denae is wanted on that. 1t is very in-
por.ant point
NEW YORK. Sept. 12.-The Herald says:
Lyons Bros, tile local representatives. of
the North American Commercial Company.
say that the dispatches published yesterday
from Victoria and San Francisco as to the
seasons catch of seals have misrepresented
the facts. They say the trade supposed
those a., COO seals had strayed over to the
Alaska Company on the Siberian coasts
from the islands of ST. Paul and st. George
and that, with the other 0,C00 skins alleged
TO be on the way, there would be many
more skins in the market than were ex-
pected. THE truth is, we are authorized to
say, these skins reported are the Copper
Island catch. The trade will understand
that, and that any alleged catch above these
42,G00 are Shaggy or worthless SKINS" Mr.
Lyons says the local catch this year will be
$4,000 short OF that Of last year.
