THE PATHFINDER RELEASED.
The Vessel Could Not Be Held-A Trouble
some Precedent.

The following telegram was sent by Assistant
Secretary Tichenor yesterday afternoon to the
collector of customs at Port Townsend, Wash
ington State: ''In the year 1887 the Depart
ment in quite similar but in some re-
spects stronger for the Government, decided
that the vessel could not be held. In view of
that precedent, without now reviewing the
principles upon which you proceeded, direct
the release of the Pathfinder
The precedent referred to in the above tele-
gram was the case of the schooner Ellen. That
vessel was seized in Behring Sea in 1887 by
for violation of the seal fishery laws, and was
ordered to Sitka, Alaska, for trial. Instead,
however, her captain took her to San Francisco.
She was there seized by the customs officers,
but was subsequently released by direction
of Secretary Fairchild, on the general ground
that the Federal officers at San Francisco had
no jurisdiction over offenses committed in the
District of Alaska. Under this ruling the Fed
| eral courts of Alaska will have exclusive jurS-
! diction over all violations of the seal fishery
| laws.
The Pathfinder was not seized, but detained,
! pending instructions from the Department at
| Washington. The schooner is one of the Brit
ish sealing vessels seized last year in Behring
Sea by the cutter Richard Rush, and ordered tc
| Stka, Alaska, in charge of one seaman as
prize master. She, instead, escaped to Vic
toria, and has since been engaged In sealing of
the American and British coasts until yester
day. when compelled to go into the bay for re
pairs.
Capt. Hooper, of the Corwin, held the YES
sci pending the decision of the Department
relative to whether the vessel is amenabe to th
law regarding sealing in Behring Sea, fo
which she was seized. The Pathfinder saeC
for Victoria two months ago-secured $50 seal
off the coast of Vancouver and Washington.

England's Industrial Decay.

From the ELECTRICAL Engineer.
Nothing in the future appears more probable
than that within the lifetime of persons now
living the industrial supremacy of Great Britain
will pass away with the exhaustion of her coal
fields. Switzerland, Italy, ana the Scandinavian
Peninsula are destined to become the great manu-
featuring districts of Europe. This extraordinary
industrial revolution will be brought about by
the transmission and distribution, by electrical
means, of the inexhaustible and permanent
water-powe in those countries. More than
year ago in Switzerland woolen mandatory
of thirty-sx thousand spindles, with the usua
complement of auxiliary machinery, was
from a distant stream, deriving its never-failing
supply of water from the melting of Alpine
SHOWS. In the new era the Swiss republic ma,
not improbably become the foremost industria
! nation of Europe.

Peculiar Accident to a Horse.

The accident that happened to one of the
horses pulling No. engine yesterday morning
while going to the fire on Sixth street south
west, where the old man Hoyne lost his life, is
perhaps one of the strangest ever recorded. The
horses were running at lively gait, and when
crossing the car tracks on Four-and-a-half
street the horses foot struck in a frog of the
track, completely tearing it fiom the leg. The
driver says he noticed peculiar lope of the
horse, but lie did not let down in his speed one
bit, and ran to the plug on Sixth street In good
style, nearly mile from where the accident oc-
CURED The whole hoof was torn off, and the
bone of the leg was exposed where the noble
animal had used it after the accident. By order
of Chief Paris the horse was shot to end its
suffering.

On its face no doubt Mr. BALFoUR's Land
bill is worthy the respectful treatment which
Mr. GLADSTONE gave it when it was presented
in the House of Commons the other day. No
doubt, also, the bill if adopted would effect i'm
portant incidental reforms in the procedure at
tending the valuation, rental, and sale of lands.
At the same time Irish suspicion of the ultimate
aims and results of the bill is amply justified by
the source whence it came The English Tories
may have become filled with a yearning to
ameliorate the condition of the mass of the
Irish people, even if some of the privileges and
profits of the Ango-Irish landlords are cur
tailed in the operation; but reasonable mes,
especially Irishmen, can hardly be blamed for
doubling that such q radical change of heart
has taken place.

In commenting on the charge Representative
SPINoLA made on the floor Of the House the
other day, that the newspapers of Washington
were influenced by corrupt motives In their ad-
vocacy of the Rock Creek Park bill, the daily
press would hardly have been so severe had it
paused to consider the lifelong political afia
tions of the member from the Gas-house Dis
trct of New York City. 1t probably never,
entered Mr. SPIEOLA' venerable gray head that
he was saying anything TO arouse indignation
or resentment when he intimated that the
Washington newspapers expected direct and
substantial returns for their support of the bill,
Adherents of the political school in which Mr..
SPINoLA received his training would see moth
ing to get mad about in a little charge OF that
kind. They are all in politics for the "booden
which ofiice-hOlding and Office-getting affords
them the opportunity OF making, and
they have a mighty poor opinion OF men
who pretend to be in politics for any other pur-
pose. In their view Of it such men are either
blooming idiots or canting hypocrites. They re-
fuse to believe, in short, that rational men can
possibly be in politics or bestir themselves in
any way in public affairs except for purposes of
immediate personal gain. All the "boys" in
the Gas-housc District take this view of poll
tics and public life, and they would no more
them with being ''out for de stuff than they
would if charged with being addicted to beer
and oysters. Mr.. SPINoLA's political activity
has been among the boys who hold these cx
tremely practical views; and hence, no doubt
he thought he was making rather common
place statement when he said the Washington
newspapers advocated the Rock Creek Park Sc
warmly because they expected piece of The
-"pork" when the bill was passed. This il
proved by Mr.. SPINoLA's frank acknoWledg
ment after making the charge that he had ne
information whatever on the subject Hi
'scommon sense" led him to the conclusion, h
declared Common sense is by no means who'll.
a spontaneous gift Of nature. 1t is largely tn
result of experience and observation. Now
given the experience and observation of poll
tician in the Gas-house District, very clea
understanding may be obtained OF the qualit
of Mr.. SPINoLA's "common sense"

The argument that because Washington con-
tains park named after LAFAYETTE, therefore
said park is the only proper place for setting
up therecently acquired LAFAYETTE Monument,
will, we think, strike the average citizen as
very much like what is known as a non seQuitur.
LAFAYETTE deserves to be held in grateful re-
mGmbrance by Americans. Here at the Capital
of the Nation American gratitude long ago
found expression in naming for him a small but
beautiful park situated close to the official resi-
dence of the Chief Executive of the people.
Later in this park statue was raised to the
memory of one of the sturdiest and most strik-
ing figures in American history, man who led
the armies of his country to victory in a great
war; and who as President discharged the du,
ties of his office with splendid fearlessness and
ability. TO this generation of Americans that
statue of JACKSON In LAFAYETTE Park is mex.
tricably associated with the White House and
its traditions. To replace it now by monu
ment to LAFAYETTE, on the ground that con
sistency and good form demand that the latter
should stand in the park which bears LAFAY
ETTE's name, would be absurd, and an insul
to the memory of JACKSON, who in his day ant
according to his opportunities did as much TO
his country as WAsHINGTON or LINCOLN Rattle
change the name of the park to JACKSON, anC
put the LAFAYETTE Monument in some othe
park or circle, to be called after the distinguished
Frenchman.

LOVE LETTER PILLOWS.

The latest device of girlhood is u
fancy for stuffing pillows with their
old love letters. There is one thing
about the contents Of these pillows
that can be depended upon with a
marked degree of certainty-they are
sure to be soft. Now, the question
naturally arises, must the pillows be
stuffed with letters from single per-
son, or may missives from John and
George and Henry be tumbled in to-
gether promiscuously? Is it test of
loyalty that when once . girl really.
falls in love, or thinks she does, she
discards from her pillow all the letters
save those Of the object Of her deep
est affection? And how does mar
riage affect the fate Of the pillow? Do
Husbands enjoy having: their wives
faces buried in a mass Of soft nothings
that other men may have written to
them? And what dreams may come,
and what skimpy, fiat little pillows
some poor girls must have; but how
nice it is for the men to reflect that
their adored ones slumber softly on
their words of love. Memphis DEM

SCIENCE VS.. FACTS.

1t has only been sixty years since a
great mathematician demonstrated
that a steamship could never cross the
Atlantic because it would be impossi-
BILE for her to carry enough fuel to
last during the trip. Before he had
hardly deducted his calculations, a
steamer from America glided into
port. The following cautionary in
structions were issued by the Royal
College of Bavarian doctors within the
memory Of middle-aged n,s.n: ''Do
not ride on railway carriages. Such
modes Of travel should, and will in
time, be forbidden in the interests Of
public health. The rapid movement
cannot fail to produce the mental af-
fection known as delirium furiosum.
Even if people are willing to incur
the risk, the Government should at
least protect the public. To olook at a
train in motion is likely to cause cere-
bral arrangement. It is absolutely
necessary to build fences ten feet high
on each side Of railways to prevent

PREHISTORIC RELICS.

Recent excavations on Avery's Is

there underlying, revealed new depos-
Its of remains df man and mammal,
some of which have been trans.
ferred to the museum of the Tulane
University by Curator Caldwell, the
gift Of Mr.. l. H. McIlhenny. This is
not The first deposit uncovered, early
excavations i'll other years having re-
vealed remains now in the Smithso-
MAN Institute at Washington. The
bones of mammals found are mainly
those of the giait sloth, the mastodon,
and the two-toed horse {equus frater-

embedded in a bed Of blue clay SOME
eight feet thick, everything the salt.
Above the blue clay is a marshland
deposit of loan, IN which basket work
and pottery OF the earliest North
American races have been found.
The curator also collected green live
oak and myrtle leaves, which rapidly
lost their color when exposed to the
atmosphere, showing perfect preser-
vation through Untold centuries. 1t
is interesting to note tEst although
the presence Of these remains and of
the body Of salt itself has long been
known at Washington, no scientist
has evolved a theory to account for
the same which science accepts. The

"Old Gabriel" the California phe-
nominal old man, whose age was fully
authenticated to be 151 years, died in
the poor house at Salinas, Cal, on the
18th inst. This dispatch states:
The story Of his life has been hand
ed down among the Franciscan mis-
sionaries, who came into California
more than a century ago, and when
Father Junipero arrived at Monterey
in 1869 Gabriel, then grandfather,
was among the little band who re-
ceived him. The missionary took an
interest in the man, who was at the
time a strapping fellow of six feet, and
guided him into the Catholic faith.
Though seven times married, and
having children and grandchildren by
the score, he has outlived them all.
He has no direct descendants, and 50
