THE SEAL FISHERIES.
The Poachers Take Advantage of Diplomatic

The Poachers Take Advantage Of Diplomatic
Delay.
CHICAGO, May pa Washington special
says: Lord Salisbury is waiting to find out
whether the closed season will be agreeable
to the Canadian Government As between
so and 100 Canadian poachers are afloat in
Alaskan waters, the British Foreign Office
has probably learned by this time that the
closed season will not be agreeable TO the
Dominion Government but the absence of
official communication is made an excuse
for delay in answering Secretary Biaine's
latest note. Three months ago Secretary
Blaine suggested closed season for the re-
mainder OF the year, hoping that In the in
terval some permanent arrangement look
ing to the preservation Of the seal would be
reached.
After an exasperating delay the English
Premier replied. agreeing to a closed season,
but STIMULATING that not a single seal should
be killed even for food purposes. Secretary
Blaine, replying TO this letter April 25th
last, suggested that the company be per-
mltted TO kill 1000 seals, the proceeds of
which would be sufficient to remunerate
them for expenses incurred by them this
season. 10 TINS communication Lord Sails
bury made no answer. Meanwhile the Ca
madam pOachers are fitting out and prepar-
Ing TO enter BehTlng Sea in greater numbers
than ever. The President feels that Sails
bury is acting unfairly with the Government
in so long delaying his reply, in view Of the
near approach Of the regular fishing season.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-Secretary Foster
said to-day that instructions TO revenue cut
teTs IN regard TO the seal fisheries viii not
be issued yet, Tor the reason that they are
not finally agreed upon.
OTTAWA (Ont.), May 25.-The Customs

Both Vessels Supposed 10 Be Oh The

The Insurgents Ready 10 Surrender the

Capture Of TaItal Is Confirmed.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The fact that no
word has been received at the Navy De-
partment to-day from the Charleston is
taken as an indication that she has gone on
down the Peruvian coast toward CallaO.
Respecting the reiterated statements from
Paris to the effect that the insurgents have
arranged to surrender the Itata to the
United States naval authorities when
she reaches Chile, the officials Of
the Navy Department stand mute. It
may be stated however. that there have been
no negotiations between this Government
and the Chilean insurgents upon the subject
Still 1t is plainly evident that some kind Of
an understanding has been, or is expected
to be, reached, which will result in the easy
transfer of the Itata to either Admiral
McCann or Admiral Brown should she
reach Chile. This, OF course, would not take
the shape of formal agreement, but an in
timation may have already been conveyed to
our naval officers at Iquique by the insur-
gents that such a course will be pursued,
and doubtless this has formed the basis of
many of the cablegrams that have passed
between Washington and Iquique during
the last two weeks.
LONDON, May 25-The Times corre-
spondent at CoQumbo was an eyewitness
of the attack on Taltal, and confirms tie
report of the capture OF that town.
NEW YORK, May 25.-The Chilean Min
lister has received a copy of the
message of President Balmaceda
to the Chilean Congress, which
convened April 20th last. In this he dis
cusSes the rebellion of the navy, which he
speaks of as without precedent in the
naval history of Chile. He says during
the period of three months since
the beginning of the revolution there is not
an instance of a single popular outbreak in
favor of the movement, whose power is ac-
tuallY confined to the ocean.

AS souvenir of the Queen of Roumania's
visit to Balmoral last autumn Queen Victo-
ria has sent her splendidly bound copies, in
two volumes, of her Majesty's Highland
Journal and of. five-volume edition of

How lie Expiated the Slaughter of His
Innocent Children.
In the summer of 1877 a dusty, tired
looking party of horsemen, forty in number,
we're vending their way over the rolling
prairie-land of Western Nebraska, says the
Detroit Free Press. In the lead and to the
rear rode detachment OF Uncle Sans blue
coated soldiers. commanded by a bearded
Captain, whose experience on the frontier
had made his name we'll known. In the
midst, carefully guarded, were a half-dozen
Cheyenne Indians. and following them came
ten citizens, whose garb betokened them TO
be settlers Of the plain, and whose jaded
horses showed that they had been hard
ridden.
The soldiers were jubilant over their cap
ture. the Indians were stolidly Indifferent,
while the plainsmen wore sullen cOunte-
nances which boded no good for tile red
prisoners The Indians we're portion OF

tackled outlying settlements and massacred
several entire families.
The citizens were party that had been
formed TO follow the Indians aud ayenge

surrounded their foe and we're bent on
their annihilatiOn. when the troopers had
suddenly come upon the scene, and, to the
disgust of the settlers, captured the whole
party, and thus robbed them of their re-
venge.
An hour later a camp was selected by the
side OF a clear stream which eoursed over a
white. sandy bottom. Que Of the citizens,
who had not dismountei. rode up to the
group of indians and addressed a wrinkled
buck, whose hard cOuntenance clearly be-
spoke his bloOdthrsty nature.
What's that on your shirt, Injun?" he
asked.
The Iudian, seeing he was attracting no.
tice, proudly Strengthened himself. Fastened
TO the redskins much befringed and beaded

the fair heads of little children, and one Of
them yellow curl of a baby. Quick as
thought the white mans pistol came from
the holster on his saddle, and-cracki the
redskin fell forward with a bullet between
his eyes.

Bardsley is still too i'll this morning to ap-
pear before the magistrate to answer the
charge of msapprODriating city money. The
hearing was continued until Friday next,
and bail fixed at $3.50 The Attorney
General arrived from Harrisburg this morn
ing with a warrant charging Bardsley with
embeZZiing S446000 of the States money.
This afternoon the Att0rney-GeHeral had
an affidavit prepared and presented to Mag
istrate Pole charging Bardsley with having
collected SjG7, GOA belonging 10 the State Of
PENNSYLVANIA and falling to account for the
same. Magistrate Pole thereupon increased
Bardsley's bail from S25 600 to S50.000. Two
detectives have remained IN a room adj0n-
ing Bardslev's bedroom since Saturday
night, when the first warrant was served.
In view of Bardsley's condition it is hardly

Erecisl to THE MORNING CALI

LEWISTON (Me.), May 25.-A dispatch
from Butrell, a town on the Grand Trunk
Railroad. in the extreme western portion Of
the State, near the New Hampshire bound
ary, gives the particulars of a terrible
tragedy between a father and son for the
possession of young woman. The affair
occurred on Saturday night in the lumber
town Of Upson, in the Rangeley Lake region,
and the parties implicated are all lumber
men. Two years ago Peter LancOraic, a
French Canadian from the province of New
Brunswick, who kept a small country store,
died, leaving his business and $1,000 to his
only child, daughter named Jeanne. She
was then Is years of age, and on his death
bed the father appointed as guardian Jack
son Oldershaw. a lumber boss, as her
guardian until she became q years of age.
0lderShaw was a widOwer, with an only
son, Roger, a young man aged %. Both
father and son were men of passionate,
selfish natures, and both cast covetous eyes
upon young Jeanne and her little fortune
The old man had great Influence over the
girl, who stood much in fear of him, and it
was due to persistent persuasion on his
part that she promised to marry him.
although she preferred the son. The latter
learned of his fathers mention and got
the girl to promise to elOpe with him.
Saturday night they attempted to steal
away while the elder Odershaw was away,
but he returned Unexpectedly and caught
them in the act. In fit of rage he drew
revolver and fred at his son, but the girl
jumped between them and received the
ball in her shoulder. In falling she
knocked the pistol out of Oldershaw's hand
and he grabbed au ak to save himself from
similar weapon. The two men fought like
tigers, both being badly cut wnen the elder
Slipped on the blood which flowed from the
girls wound. While down his son nearly
severed his head from the body Older
shaw died instantly and the son fed. The
last heard of the girl she was not expected
