The Copper Island Shooting Affair.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 6.-The steam er
Alexander H., which arrived Sunday
night from Siberia, brought further news
concerning the firing upon the crew OF
the schooner G. G. White, off Copper
Island. The officers OF the Alexander
say that when the schooner appeared
off Copper Island she sent six boats
toward the beach. They were warned
away, out no attention was paid to the
warning. and as the sealers persisted in
trying to land, they were fred upon by
the guards, first with blank and then
with ball cartridges.
The Alexander brought down 9,700
seal skins for the Alaska Commercial
company. The company's contract with
the Russian government having expired,
it will be renewed for ten instead of
twenty years.
A number OF Americans at Yokohama
and other Japanese ports, are fitting out
vessels to go seal hunting under the
British, German and Japanese flags,
next year. The Russian government
proposes to protect the rookeries. Five
Russian war vessels are now cruising in
Bering sea with instructions to peremp-
torily seize any vessel found sealing
within the prescribed shore limit, which
is five miles. 1t is stated that the ves-
sells which recently started on sealing
cruises will not cruise in the Bering sea
proper. They Will station themselves at
the narrow pass called Uvimah through
which the seals pass on their way to the
rookeries, and there slaughter them by
the wholesale. A knowledge of this
fact influenced the Alaska company in
making contract for ten years instead
of twenty, as heretofore, as the Siber-
ian rookeries will suffer severely.

SALT LAKE, Utah. Oct. 6.-At the gen
eral conference of the Church of Jesus
Christ Of Latter Day Saints, this morn
ing, the official declaration OF President
Woodruff, forbidding in future any mar
riages in violation of the laws of the
land, was read, and the congregation,
numbering nearly ten thousand persons,
including the apostles, bishops and lead
ing elders of the church, by unan-
imous vote recognized the au-
thority of the president to issue
the manifesto, and accepted it
as authoritative and binding. George @.
Cannon publicly announced his endorse
ment of the manifesto, and his recogni-
tion of. the supremacy of the laws that
have been declared constitutional by the
supreme court of the United States.
The conference also re-adopted the origi-
nal articles of faith, among which is this :
I'VE believe in being subject to
kings, presidents, and magistrates, in
obeying, honoring and sustaining the
law" The action taken settles vexed
question, and places an effectual bar
against future polygamous marriages in
Utah. 1t is the most important step
taken by the church for more than a

He Admits That He Was an Accessory to
the Benwel1 Murder.
TORONTO, Oct. 6.-The Globe publish
ed, this morning, sensational story
containing partial confession from Bur-
chell, regarding the killing of Benwell.
1t says: 1t cannot be said that he made
anything like clean breast of
the murder. All he has done
so lar is to make a number of
half confessional statements and drop
hints and admissions which placed to-
gether form tolerably correct story.
To sum up he acknowledges that he was
an accessory. He confesses that he took
Benwell to Eastwood and beyond, in the
direction OF the swamps, but res
olutely sticks to it that his was
not the hand that slew the
victim. All through his conversation
since his conviction, Burchell has in
sisted that he had an accomplice. He
has made it appear that this accomplice
was young Englishman, named Gra-
ham, who at one time lived with Pick
tball, on the latter's farm. No: one will
for moment believe that the charge
against Graham is true. There is not
the slightest evidence that Graham was
seen near the swamp July 18th.
