HELD FOR CONTEMPT
The Case of Lida La Montague
 Attracting Attention.
CANADA ASKED TO RELEASE HER
The Matter Will Probably bs Laid Be-
 fore the State Department.

The Alleged TariH Flaw Said to be the
 Fault of the Enrolling Clerks-CathOlic
 Bishops Interview Secretary NOble-The
 British Iron and Steel Delegates Re-
 ceived by the PresidSnt To-Day.
 WASHINGTON, Got. 25.-A despatch from Montreal says the case of Lida La Montague is likely to open up 6 ques- tion in international law between Canada and the United States, which will take many months to straighten out. Lida La Montague's husband was killed by her brother and the house set on fire. Lida was tried for murder as an accomplice and acquitted.
 She then went to Lawrence, Mass. When the Crown came to try her brother it was found that Lida's testi- mony was..needed to convict. She would not voluntarily return, SO 6 charge was extradited. Attempts were then made to compel her to testify, but, en- phatically refusing, she was finally committed for contempt. Her brother was convicted of the murder. After his sentence she was sentenced to one years imprisonment and fined $250 for contempt.
 Her counsel protested, but to no avail, that the terms ot her extradi- tion were being violated, that she could not be imprisoned for any crime other than arson. Her counsel is now going to appeal to the Minister of Justice at Ottawa, and if that does not succeed will lay the matter before the State Department at Washington, and ask it to take action to compel Canada to either try the girl for the crime she was extradited for or release her alto gether. She is HOW in jail at Sher brook P O.

HUNTING WHITE-CoATs.
aIethods of Atlantic Ssalers That Ger
 taInIy Approach Cruelty.

Methods of Atlantic Ssalers That Ger
 taInIy Approach Cruelty.
 The chorus of fear set up by the 'whitecoats" or Atlantic seals at the first signs of the approach of foe, is often the first indication hunters have of the presence of their game. Soon, however, the black spots on the ice ap- pear in the distance, and the ship Is thrown at once into the widest confu- sion. Craftily, like cat charming a bird, she moves through the ice-field, creeping along until it is plain that the men can safely reach their prey Then she lays to, and at once a swarm of hunters, two hundred or three hundred of them, spring upon the ice, and, with gaff and knife, they rush at the white coats"
 The shouts of the men, the low but never ceasing grinding of the ice, like distant thunder rumbling in the sky. the infuriated roars of the mother seal and the terrified, pitiful cries of their cubs, for all the world like the sobbing of a child in distress, produce a con fusion of sounds that is dreadful to hear.
 It is the young seal, the cub. that was born only from three to six weeks before, that the hunters are after. The skin is then in its finest condition. The coat is white and almost fur-like, and the heavy lining of fat directly under the skin by which the carcass is pro- tected against the cold contains it's greatest percentage of oil. A single blow with the gaff on the white coats" nose is enough to stun and often to kill him. That delivered, the hunter whips out his knife and in another sec ond the skin and fat are stripped away and the poor little creature's carcass is left steaming. bleeding and quivering on the ice.-N. Y. Tribune.
