The Peculiar Experience of the Schooner &C.
celia With 0ne-A Sportiye Monster.
Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch
ST. JOINS, N. B., March 2O.-Captain
Lemuel Horton, of the schooner Cecilia,
which has just arrived here from PARIS
boro, N. S., tells the tale of a novel expert
ence in the Bay of Fundy. When off
Quaco, 6 o'clock Sunday morning, an en-
ormous hump backed whale hove in sight.
1t soon overhauled the coasting vessel and
came up alongside For time the sailors
were frightened, but this feeling changed
into one of establishment when they found
that the monster showed no inclination to
swallow the vessel, with all on board, a
feat which it was thought from his size he
was able to do. The whale would come
under the schooner's quarter, turn
over on its back and lay there
motionless. Finally the sailors plucl1ed
up courage and one of them struck
it with boat hook while another thrust
one into its side These little attentions
the whale received with indifference.
Captain Horton had revolver and fired at
the whale at what he thought might be a
vulnerable point of the whale, which re
suited in vigorous agitation of the water
| that threatened at one time to swamp the
vessel. Several times in moving the whale
hunted the schooner hard enough to shake
it from stem to stern. Every time the
schooner came about the whale would fol :
low her. 1t was almost calm, and as the
schooner was only slowly sailing this gave
the men good opportunity to watch the
movements of the monster During all
that Gay and the following night the whale
kept in the wake of the vessel, and only
left it when she arrived off MusQuash.

4 MONTANA MURDER.
The Sentence of Howell Thomas
for Killing Springer.
COMMANDER MGALLA'S CASE.
Some Damaging Eyidence-The Sheridan Crook
CorrespOndence-Th Court-Martial Of
Lieutenant Steele.

BUTTE, Mont, March 20.-[Special tele-
gram to THE HERALD For the past three
days Howell Thomas has been on trial in
the district court for murder in the first
degree. On June 10 last he shot and killed
Albert j. Springer in Fergusons saloon at
Rocker, four miles west of Butte The
case was a very aggravated one. Thomas
had been drinking and stepped into the
saloon and called up Springer to have a
drink with him. When they had drunk
Thomas told Springer that he could whip
him. Springer readily admitted this, say
ing that he was no fighter and did not
doubt that Thomas could whip him. Thomas
then struck Springer and was promptly
knocked down for his pains. Ferguson
ran in and got between the men. Thomas
got up and drawing revolver fired under
Ferguson's arm and killed Springer. The
victim was an exemplary young man of ex-
cellent family. Thomas is twenty eight
years of age and has not borne the best Of
regulations. During the whole of the trial
his mother and three sisters have set inside
the bar in the court room and their terrible
grief has had its effect on the jury. The
prosecution presented the facts above mar
rated and rested The defense simply placed
Thomas on the stand and he said he was
drunk at the time and hat no recollection
whatever of the murder. The arguments
were brief and the case given to the jury
at $40 this p. m. 1t was thought that it
would not take them five minutes to find
verdict. About IL o'clock the jury re
turned with a verdict of murder in the
second degree with Imprisonment for life.
The verdict created a great deal of dis
satisfaction here, but it not likely the cit
liens will get up a hanging bee.

How Canada will be Affected.

TORONTO, March 2O-The Globe GiberaD
commenting on the proposed changes in the
American tariff, says: 1.-THE effect of imposing
these taxes will either be to wipe out Canada's
whole export trade to the states or to force our
farmers to accept prices from 10 to 20 per cent
less than they now obtain for some twenty mil
lion dollars worth of what they have TO SELL
Not only so, but the surplus which
on the home market, reduce the prices
and all products that farmers sell for Canadian
consumption. Their annual loss viii thus
amount up to many millions and the value of
their lands and plants be enormously dimin-
iShed. Every merchant, every bank every loan
company, every holder of mortgages every me-
chanic, must suffer with the farmers. All alike
should join in agitation to avoid this disaster
by forcing the government to seek continental
free trade

The Eight-HOur Movement.

PITTsBURG, Pa, March o0.-The result of
the conferences of the executive council of
the Federation of Labor in New York, Sat
urday, is just made public Vice President
Martin says no trade will be ordered to de-
mand the eight-hour law nor strike to en-
force the demand. 1t is left entirely op-
tional with each trade what they will do
1t is shown by replies to declarations from
most all trades saying that they desired
and were able TO win eight hours. In Pitts
burg and Wheeling districts mill carpenters
will first ask conference with the build
ers, and if refused, demand it. New York
and Boston stone masons will probably
make the first break in those cities, to be
followed by other strong organizations.

to concierges talked about it, wondering

what is generally admitted to be the most
important political event which has hap
pened in Europe for twenty years.
