TO SCREEN A PRINCE.
Facts Concerning Miss Manton's Death
StiIl Kept Secret.

Still Kept Secret.
LONDON, Oct. 5.-The newspapers
here denounce the coroner for keeping
secret the dispositions taken at the in
quest as to the cause of the death OF
Lydia Miller, or Manton, the actress
who suicided last week. Considerable
interest is being taken in the case. At
the inquest Saturday, Lord Charles
Montague, brother of the Duke OF Man
chester, testified as to having been on
very intimate terms with the deceased =.
Mysterious illusions have been made
in the newspapers to certain high per-
sonage understood to be Prince Albert
Victor, eldest son OF the Prince of Wales,
who is also thought to have had init
mate relations with the dead girl.
The Star says Lord Charles came for
ward at the inquest and assumed to be
the girls particular friend, in order to
screen another. The coroner today still
refuses access to the dispositions taken,
and it is openly stated that the members
of the coroner's jury were called upon to
sign blank paper instead of the usual
record OF proceedings.
The Star says the truth as to the mys-
terry will never be known, and that it is
obvious that another inquest has been
hushed up without good cause.
The Star also says: when it was
found that she wore diamond bracelet
as mark of princely favor, it was quite
certain that everything that money could
do would be done to prevent publicity at
the inquest. Was it because there was
a crime to conceal? Or was it because
some exalted parsonage was involved
some person whose feelings could not
endure the penalty of exposure ?" a.
In an interview with George Lewis,
@. c., who watched the inquest upon
the body, the distinguished lawyer said :
81 know nothing OF any attempt to
suppress testimony. No motive for the
girls suicide transpired, except that she
was. highly strung and subjects to fits OF
. depression. There was no suggestion at
the inquest that Lord Charles Monta-
que was not the real person involved. !"
Miss Lydia visited the United States
as a member OF the London Gaiety COM
pany in 1888.

Governor Knspp's Annual Report-The
Sealing Question, Etc.

Governor KnRpp's Annual Report-The
Sealing Question, Etc.
WASHINGTON, Oct. g. Lyman e.
Knapp, governor of Alaska. in his an
nual report to the secretary of the in-
terror, devotes considerable space to the
seal islands and the seal industry. The
most serious difficulty in the matter,
says the governor, is the illegitimate
slaughter of females and young in the
open sea. There is no doubt that most
valuable industry and most fruitful
source of national increase is in danger.
More than one hundred marauding ves-
sells were lowering about the islands in
Bering sea during the season, and large
numbers OF skins were taken. The
steamer Danube made special trip to
the Northern Pacific during the latter
part OF June, reaching Victoria on her
return July 9th last, having on board
nearly $4,000 seal skins, received from
thirty-five sealing vessels which it met
apparently by appointment. Those
delivering their cargoes to the
Danube were all British vessels. The
governor estimates the illegitimately
taken skins during q small part of last
season, at from $4,000 to 10000.
The value of the products of Alaska
exported during the year was $S.942, ,O00
The report gives an account OF the
progress made IN educational work a;
carried on by the government. He sug
gests that the management of schools
should be made as far as practicable
local, and that they should be non-par'
tisan and non-sectarian. He favors the
appointment of territorial board oi
public instruction by the secretary OF the
interior, and under the control OF the
commissioner of education, to have full
authority as to the government schools
and the expenditure of public moneys
The governor comments upon the
need OF additional legislation, and states
that in the last seven years congress has
given the territory no new laws, except
the four site and land acts. 1t is i'm
portant now, he thinks, that the meth
DDS of drawing juries be modelled. The
town site law passed by the last con
gress, he thinks should be supplement-
ed with legislation providing for munic-
ipal corporations. He thinks congress
should appoint special committee tc
look after Alaskan legislation and Alas
kan interests, and that the legal anc
political status OF the native population
should be defined by legislative enact
mnnts

ROME, Oct. AT the ministry OF

a confidential circular has been sent to

owing to the disturbances at the tomb
of Victor Emmanuel in the Pantheon
last week, the pope will be unable to
receive more pilgrims.
Thousands of citizens marched in pro-

Temps is of the opinion that M. Rou-
vier's speech at the unveiling will act as
a corrective of the bad effect of the out
rage committed by French Catholic pill
grims at Victor Emmanuel's tomb last
week, and that the question of the res.
toration OF the temporal power of the
pope has ceased to excite serious feeling
in France.

Garcia, with two other bandits, made
an attack upon the residence of P. Her
nandez and killed both him and his wife.
When an officer searched the body of
Senior Hernandez, he found in one of the
pockets of his clothing a letter from
Garcia, addressed to the civil authori-
ties of Ouivican, placed in the pocket of
the victim to show contempt of the
efforts of the authorities to capture him.
The murdered couple leave four chill

wife, who was pregnant, was so. Gar

Break Suddenly.
The Junta Evinces No Intention to
Abandon Its Position.
Peremptory NOTICE Given by Minister
Rsan that Balmaceda Refugees
Must Be Allowed to Leave
the Country,
Associated Press DhOatohes.

SANTIAGO, Chile, Oct. 5.-The Chilean
government has SO far evinced no in ten
ton of abandoning its position that il
has perfect right to arrest persons as
they enter or leave the precincts of the
American legation. But while siren
uously insisting upon the possession ol
this abstract right, the government is al
present making no attempt to put it in
practice. The partisans Of Balmaceda
who took refuge under Minister Egan's
roof, are still there, and no arrests have
been made during the past few days. 1t
cannot be learned that the government
has in contemplation any plan for
asserting in the near future the right OF
arrest that is claimed, but it is thought
the present unsatisfactory situation can
not be long in continuance.
MINISTER EGAN's ACTION.
In accordance with the instructions
received from the state department at
Washington, Minister Egan has given
the Junta to understand by formal and
official notice that if the Chilean author.
tiles continue to maintain their present
attitude, friendly relations between
Chill and the United States will be in
terrupted. The Junta's reply to the
notice is awaited with great interest.
What Minister Egan's next step will be
in case the reply is unfavorable, is
not known.
The United States flag ship San Fran
cisco, which is returning from the
north, is expected to reach Valparaiso
some time this week. When she gets
into port the present plan of the Ameri-
can minister is to ask the Chilean gov
errment to allow the refugees now at the
United States legation to go on board
the United States man-of-war Baltimore
and take their departure from Chilean
territory.
THE CIIILEANS AGAIN DIsPLEAsED.
New YoRK, Oct. 5.-Advices to the
Herald from Valparaiso, Chile, state:
Word has reached here of the arriva
of the flagship San Francisco at Payta
Peru, of her orders from the American
government to return to Valparaiso, ,an6
OF putting into Callao harbor on her re
turn to this city. The news has no
been received pleasantly here. The
Chileans regard her return with undis
guised disfavor.
