was not known by that name, but
was regarded as u part of the Pacific
ocean. Her majesty s government al
ways claimed freedom of navigation
and fishing in Behrngsea outside the
limit Of a marine league from he coast.
II is impossible to admit that the
right to fish and catch seals in the
high seas can be held to be abandoned
by nation from the mere fact that
for a certain number OF years it has
not suited the subjects of that nation
to exercise such right. 1t must be re-
membered that the existence OF Brit
ish Columbia as colony and the de
velopment of the colony's shipping
interest are comparatively recent. II
the United States government Contin-
ties to differ with Great Britain AZ to
the legality of the recent captures her
majesty's government is ready to re-
fer the question, with the ISSUES de-
pendent thereon, to impartial arbi-
tratiOn.

Fuel For Flames.

The plant of the Kentucky distilling
company at Louisville, KY. OF which
NJ. julius Barkhouse is president, was
entirely destroyed by fire on TIRE 4t4s
inst. The fire was the result of care
lessness on the part OF Il colored man
who was assisting the Waterman in
arranging barrels of whisky in the
warehouse.
The building together with the whis-
ky was soon consumed, and the fire
spread to other buildings, then to the
maip building and afterward commun-
ICated to the Great Western pork
house of Conrad &Leiter, which was
totally destroyed, including all of the
cattle and hog pens and the stock Of
meat.
The loss TO the pork packing COM
pany will be about $4,000. The re-
naming loss of nearly ii not
quite $S00,O00 is on the distil-
lery proper and destroyed whisky.
This loss is divided among twelve
whisky firm of whom Julius Bark
house, as president OF the Kentucky
Distlllng company, manufactures
whisky These firms are the Ken
lucky Distillingcompany, Max HOthei-
mer d Co, $. Lehman Il Sons, j. w.
Miller h Co, Bernhem Distilling COM
pany, Victor Distilling company
Buck, Frank Il Co., Kentucky Blue
Grass DistilIing company, and j. c.
Marks h Co. These twelve firms had
among them in the warehouse 23,71l
packages, mostly in barrels, or | ,l2O,-
127 gallons. This whisky is valued
at 100000 in round numbers.
The machinery and other contents
OF the building bring the total of the
distilling company's loss up to $500
600. This is irrespective of the loss
to the government in unpaid taxes,
90 cents u gallon on which will amount
to 1881 ,635, making the total loss by
the fire not much less than So 600, 900.

Practical irrigation.

A special dispatch from Hitchcock,
South Dakota. says that great inter
est is eyinced among farmers in that
locality since the results OF the harvest
on the irrigated farm near town have
become known. The yield on the
farm has been "A great surprise to all.
The wheat threshed out twenty-five
bushels per acre, while fields adjoining
and III every other respect having
equal advantages yielded only ten
bushels per acre. The benefits from
the irrigation are as appar-
ent in other crops ~ with wheat,

Arrangements are also being made
by various farmers for sinking wells
on their places.

The latest reliable reports from the
strike ON the New York Central rail
road up to the morning of the 10th
inst, are to the effect that an air OF
uneasiness was about the Grand Gem
trail depot early that evening, and for
the first time in many days prepara-
tions were made for Webb and Voor-
hees to spend the night in the depot.
The emergency had apparently arisen
to induce the New York Central off
cials to anticipate Developments that
might require their attention at any
moment.
A conference OF Knights OF Labor
leaders at 8 o'clock was held at ST.
Cloud hotel. Chief Sargent of loco
motive iiremen being present and
what was being done was watchedby q
score or more Of newspaper men.
The cause OF the anxiety Of the Cen
tral managers anxiety which appear
ed cloudy in the unusual aversion to
make comments onthe situation--was
partly at least explainable by the
event OF the afternoon. This episode
was the interview between Vice Presi.
dent Webb and Chief Sargent, of the
brotherhood OF locomotive firemen.
In this conference Webb was placed
in the situation of doing most OF the
talking. I'm cordial manner he COM
phmented Sargent and the organize
tion OF which the latter was the head
for the manner in which it had re
mained true to the Central in the
present strike.
Webb gave Sargent every opportuns
ity to- say that the firemen appreciat-
ed the compliment and would contin-
ne in the future as in the past true
to the interests of the rail
road and not join the ranks
of the strikers; but the wiley
chief OF the fremen did not say
ANYTHING OF the kind. There was an
appearance OF unwillingness TO talk at
any length on thepart Of Sargent
This interview caused uneasiness.
Neither Webb or VOORHEES, had much
to say early irl the evening. Nothing
further had been heard from Powderly
or the leaders OF the knights Of Labor.
New York Central officials said the
freight blockade had already been
pretty well raised.

A TERRIBLE CYCLONE.
The city OF Wilkesbarre Thrown In
Heap OF Ruins BY Wind.

At 5 o'clock on the afternoon OF the
10th inst, the most terrible cyclone
that ever visited that portion of the
state visited Wilkesbarre, Pa. Ii
came up the river, but from what
point it originated isnot known. The
heavens were as black as night and
the wind blew with most frightful
velocity. Whole rows OF trees were
blown down. Following this hundreds
OF houses were unroofed, partially
blown over, or completely demolished,
and worse than all, visitation 1f death
was sent upon number OF people.
How many were killed was not known
at the time this dispatch was sent.
Large districts IN several sections OF
the city are in absolute ruin, and wo-
men and children were in the streets
crying and wringing their hands in alb
solute dismay. Thedamage will reach
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Passenger trains and locomotives at
the depot were blown over, and every
wire in the city, the electric light, tele-
phone and telegraph went down.
The devastation is to be compared
with nothing in the memory OF the
oldest inhabitant. Everybody is re-
joicing that no fires followed, for
streets were impossible with trees and
fallen buildings and engines could not
be drawn through them. The tot6S
death loss so far as ascertained il
twelve. 1t is impossible at this time
to give names or particulars. Many
poor people have suffered heavy losses,
and it will be months before oil the
damage can be repaired.
One hundred tin roofers have been
telegraphed for and building mechan-
les Of all kinds can find employment
for weeks to come, as it is already
known that 200 buildings have been
blown down or otherwise damaged,
Reports come from Sugar Notch. u
mining town three miles out that the
destruction of property is terrible and
that fifteen persons were killed.
At Parsons, and Mill Creek, four
miles out, coal breakers in all direc-
tions have been more or less damaged
and the number OF killed will roach ten.
Telegraph wires were down IN all di.
rections and communications all shut
off
Mayor Sutton issued n procIama-
tlon calling on members OF the nine
teenth regiment to assemble at tho
armory early next morning to aid In
police supervision of the city. He al
so requested all idle workingmen to re-
port 60 him for labor in cleaning away
debris, the city to pay for the same.

two of the Pinkerton men met with a
horrible death at an early hour that
morning. They were aiding in getting
out some freight cars when one OF the
engines backed the cal down upon
them. Both men were caught by the
bumpers and killed. The erews quickly
spread through the city that the
strikers had killed these men, and an
immense crowd soon gathered. The,
road had not moved any freight since
the night before. The Boston Il
Albany railroad refused a consign-
ment of Eastern bound freight from
the Central and il is thought that
road will not take the risk OF IA
strike on their hands, as they know
that their men are well organized and
ready to go out on any psoVocation.
Two carloads of fremen forming n
delegation from every lodge of Western
New York passed through Albany that
morning bound for New York, where
they will consult the managers OF the
road. One of them intlmated that as
a matter of courtesy they were sim
ply going 10 let the road know that
they would not work with non-union
trainmen and switchuen. Unless the
road consents to arbitrate with the
men now out the freEen will strike
OH Saturday night, thus gripping the
road entirely. Mr., Bisseiisaid: "The
strike is over and we will begin TO get
