EXCEEDED THE LIMIT.
The North American Company Took More
Seals Than Agreed Upon.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September 1s.-
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Min
lister, has officially called the attention
OF the United States TO violation OF
the terms of the moditS riuendi in effect
between the two countries as TO the
catch of seal in the Bering Sea. By the
agreement between the two countries
the North American Commercial Com
pany, which leases the Seal Islands
from the United States, was restricted
In the catch of seal this year
to 1900 skins. 1t is alleged
that the Commercial Company has ex-
ceeded this catch, thus violating the
moduS ui0enGi, and the British govern
ment has called the United States to
account for 1t.
Special agent Williams, OF the Treas
ury Department, has made special re-
port on this branch OF the seal question.
II is understood that he makes the ad-
mission that the North American Com
mercial Company has exceeded the
limit of the CATCH, 500 skins-fxed
by the mOdus UiUcndt. The matter is
regarded here as quite important, and
may lead to the mOdlLS UiUCndi being de-
clareG imperative after this date.

SWEPT BY FIRE.
A Confla grafton in the Cranberry Marshes
of Wisconsin,.

ToMAH, Wis, September 1S.-A most
disastrous fire is raging in the cranberry
marshes between Valley Junction and
Norway Ridge.
The fire originated on the Mills marsh,
from au old forest ire that has been
Smoulderiug toe last three weeks.
Famed by brisk gale from the south
il spread and was soon beyond control.
All the buildings on TaylOr's marsh,
filled with harvested berries, were
quickly reduced to ashes, the flames
continuing IN a SOutheaSterly direction
and sweeping everything in their path.
BerryDickerS ran, leaving their tents
and accoutrcments TO the flames. The
railroad track was crossed and the fire
swept onward.
Between % and 80 square miles OF
marsh have been consumed and the fire
shows no signs OF abating. What the
loss will be IL Is impossible to estimate;
thousands Of dollars worth of property
has already been burned. Men from
miles about are on the ground fighting
the fire, but rain, OF which at present
there are no indications, is the only sal
walton. Thousands OF acres are still be-
fore the fire, and unless some unforeseen
event occurs they will furnish food for
the flames.

AFoUR-TImEs MURDERER
Pays the Penalty on the Gallows in Texas,
History OF the Crime.

EAGLE PASS, Ten, September 1S.-
R. ii. Duncan, the four-times murderer,
paid the penalty OF his horrible crime
on the galows here to-day. The drop
fell at 1925 d. M, and he was pro-
nounced dead at 1880 a. m.
In February, 1889, the bodies OF four
persons, the family of Williamson, were
found floating in the Rio Grande river
with stones tied to them. All had their
skulls crushed in, and the two women
had strings tied around their throats.
Through clews obtained the Sheriff
of Sansaba county arrested K.
II. Duncan and his brother
Tap" charged with the murder.
The latter was released for want Of
testimony. II. w. LanderS was indict-
ed as an accessory and there is now
standing reward of 5000 offered by the
State for his arrest. During his trial
and also when sentenced Duncan ap-
peared cool and unconcerned and pro-
tested his innocence. An attack was
made by his lawyers OH the criminal
code of Texas in an endeaYor TO secure
their clients release, but 1t was defeat
ed. The Governor granted one reprive,
which so intensely excited the people
that lynching was prevented with diff
Guilty. The time granted was until to-
day when the murderer received the
full penalty of the law.
