SEAL PIRATE SEIZED.
The German Freebooter Adele
Comes to Grief.
HELD BY VICTORIA OFFICERS
Noted Poacher Clears for Yokohama
Lose Her Catch and BE Fined.

VICTORIA, Dee. 1.-THE German schoon-
or Adele, which returned Monday from a
cruise to Behring sea and a raid upon the
island of st. Paul, has been seized by the
collector of customs ON. charges of failure
to enter at the customs house. and of false
clearance, When Captain Hansen left
Victoria in September he cleared for Yoka-
hama, but instead touched at st. Paul
island. The penalty for each ofense is
$iOo
taptain Hansen's miich-talked-about
Flying Dutchman''-the sealing schoo-
ner Adele-is not at all popular among the
Victoria sealers, as her operations arc
generally regarded as prejudicial to the
just and amicabIe settlement of the seal
ing question. If she sails out of Victoria
on raiding expedition, and returns here
to sell her catch, ii is apt to be asserted, or
at least understood, at Washington that
she is o;ie Of the Victoria fleet, and hence
the name 'poachersn is often given to
those who would not for any consideration
engage III anything but the legitimate ptlr-
suit of the seals. For this reason il is that
the sealing men of Victoria are
very much pleased at Thea seiz-
ure of the schooner with all her
catch by Collector Milne Tuesday morn
ing. The infractions of customs law which
caused this step TO be taken are two in
number, and have attached to them total
penalty of $500, with 800 legal costs in adj
dition. They are explained by the collec-
tor as follows: "Sections - and IS of the
customs law distinctly state that any YES
sci entering Canadian port, either laden
or light, without reporting at once in writ
ing to the collector of the port, shall be
deemed guilty of an infraction of the law,
and liable to a penalty of 500. And UNI
less this penalty and costs be paid within
thirty days, the vessel and her cargo may
then be sold in satisfaction of the same
Section 30 says that any vessel departing
from Canadian port, whose master shall
have delivered false content, or, in other
words, made false or fraudulent clear
ance, and having added and performed
other work than that referred to in the
clearance, or gone to a port other than
that mentioned as her destinations without
declaring TO the collector such intention,
shall be liable to Il similar penalty. The
Adele did not go simply to the high sea
and return; she touched on a foreign
shore. the island of ST. Paul and has rem
dered herself liable to both fines. Captain
Hansen has treated British shipping law
with disrespect before, and he can do so no
longer as far as this department is con-
cefned." The Adele is German schooner,
owned and registered in Yokohama by
Ritz & Go. Captain Hansen has COM
manded her for several seasons.

Controversy Over Street Grades - A
Very Enjoyable Ghost Dance.

CHEHALIS, Dec. 17.-lSpecial. Several
parties were in town yesterday looking
over the Rosenthall coal mines, that lie
Just inside the city limits. They have

thall started operations on these mines
about ten years ago and has run several
tunnels at considerable expense. and only
abandoned the work for lack of capital.
The CITY council had quite a crowded
meeting last night, a large number OF IN
terested citizens being present to confer
with the council regarding the widening
and extension of Prindle street and the
grading of Cascade avenue, The Northern
racinc Railroad Company also sent their
attorney TO enter an objection to having
any crossing over their rigbt-of-way on
Prindie street. The crossing has. however,
been in existence for years, and II Will not
be possible for the company TO hold good
their claim The grading of Cascade ave-
nue. called forth considerable opposition.
This street is on the side hill and makes
almost a circle. The present grade on the
lower side is several feet below the new
grade, and works a great injustice to

been erected.

PACIFIC COAST GUNS.
The Government Should Estab-
lish Factory Soon.
NO SUITABLE PLANT YET.
Capital Is Being Invested with An Eve
to the Manufacture OF Heavy
Castings for Ordnance.

WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. 1.-THE prelim-
mary report of the board of gun factories,
etc, was sent TO the Senate today by the
secretary OF war. In a letter accompany
ing the report, Secretary Proctor states
that it may be advisable TO establish
at no distant day gun-factory
at some point on the Pacific
coast. of sufficient capacity to supply the
guns required for the armament Of that
coast. Secretary Proctor further says il
appears from the report that there is yet
no plant ready ON the Pacific coast equal
to the manufacture of large gun forgings,
but capital seems ready TO take hold, and
has already begun To locate itself, with
this object in view, at more than one point.
The commission appointed by the presi-
dent consisted of three officers of the army,
and they were directed To inquire into the
facilities for producing steel forging for
high-power guns on the Pacific coast and
III the vicinity of the indianapolis arsenal,
the Rock Island arsenal. and some point
near the gulf coast, and the advisahility of
erecting gun factories for the assembling
OF guns for fertilization purposes.
Regarding the Wateroliet factory, the
report states that it is believed the limit of
the present capacity and time required 10
complete the armament, either with the
existing facilities or with those which
would be added by completion of the
Wateroliet factory. is too long.
A factory should be located on the
Pacific coast to furnish the guns required
for its defense, but the board does not CON
slider 1T advisable at this time to recon-
mend the erection of u third factory at
Rock Island arsenal, at indianapolis, or
the gulf coast.
The board estimates that it will take
$4,000 TO establish plant on the Pacific
coast for the manufacture of high-power
guns, and for machinery and tools, 81, 1885,

MURDERED BY THIEVES.
Bloody Corpse of Detective James Hut
ton Found in San Francisco.


ton Found in San Francisco
SAN Francisco, Dec. 1.-THE dead body
of Detective James Hutton was found in
jefferson square this morning by Pat
O'Conner, the gardener in charge Of the
park. At the back of the head was bloody
cash, made apparently by blow with a
blunt weapon.
Captain Lees, chief of the detective force,
stated that Hutton had been detailed to
watch that section of the city for thieves
during the early morning hours, and had
apparently been killed by a blow from be-
hind. Hutton joined the police force in
1873 and in 1854 was put on detective duty.
He was native of Maine. The family of
Detective Hutton lives at Oakland. Mrs.
Hutton is almost frantic. The sad news
was broken to her by John Hutton,
brother of the deceased. Mrs. Hutton
could suggest no clue TO the perpetrators
of the crime, and further details could not
be learned. Mrs. Hutton has been i'll fee
bic health and is completely Frustrated.
The dead man was born near Calais. Nc.
aud was nearly go years of age. He has a
married daughter at Seattle and a son at
Tacoma. Another son resided with his
parents. A strange fatality seems TO have
followed the family, as the oldest son,
Henry, was accidentally shot while hunt
ing, and daughter was fatally burned at
Los Angeles. her clothes catching FIRE.
Hutton was we'll known in Oakland.
He was employed in the Blythe contest,
and was one of the defendants in a suit
for SO, 900 damages brought by Frank
Rene for arrest for an alleged attempt ut
abduction, i'll which defendant was nom
suited.
John CLAM, painter, one of the first TO
find Hutton's body, now states that life
was not extinct when the body was found,
but that Hutton died on reaching the re-
ceiving hospital Together with two 9th
ers whom he notified on finding the body,
CLAM testified that he believed Hutton
had been murdered and then carried to the
spot where he was found. as there was no
signs of a struggle near by.
Two of the detectives put on the case in
cline to the theory that Hutton received

The Value of Our Oyster Beds

Few people, except those who are
interested, have any idea of the
value and wealth contained in the
oyster bells of this State. Maryland
leads the Union in the production
OF oysters, yet the industry is de-
clared to be undeveloped even here,
and awaiting more systematic
methods. The thousands of acres
suitable for oysters in the Chesa-
peake Bay can be made more valua-
bic and productive than any acre of
any truck farm in the State, says
she Maryland oyster commission.
The area of oyster beds in Maryland
is over $500 acres, or 1913 square
miles, but it is only a small pro-
portion of the land suitable for
such purposes. The commission
finds at least a thousand square
miles, or 64O,O 900 acres, equally
adapted for oyster planting. Much
Of this ground would yield, if pro-
perly cultivated, an annual oyster
crop of fully $1,000 per acre, and
the minimum profit of the entire
district, under any system Of cul-
tivstion, would be 800 per acre, or
$64, 600, 900 annually for the entire
oyster district.

The concurrence of the committee
OF conference on the Mckinley bill
on the reciprocity" amendment
is delegation of legislative discre-
ton and power which is utterly in
violation of the spirit and letter of
the constitution aud a step towards
consolidation and more than half
way to ''the essence of tyranny" as
Madison calls it. To place the
commerce of the country under the
thumb of the Executive would en-
able a pressure for voluntary con-
tribution to obtain full vote" to
be effectively applied. Viewed in
this light, the proposition becomes
an important auxiliary of the we'll
digested scheme of the republican
managers for obtaining permanent
control Of the government, with the
aid, either voluntary or enforced,
Of the plutocratic interests. "Blaine
craftsmanship" which originated
the reciprocity idea, is, according to
the New York Herald, drawing the
President with plausible phrases
into bog by getting him to sup
port the preposterous proposition
that Congress shall abdicate its
most vital functions and lodge them
in the hands of Mr.. Blaine" San.
