The British steamer Andes, Capt. Evans,
from Trinidad, arrived at New York yes
terday, bringing as passengers the cap
tain and crew of ten men of The Erit-
ish bark Lydia Peschau. seized by the vene-
zuelan government October Is. The captain
reports that being sick ana unconscious he was
taken ashore in small fishing vessel TO the
hospital at Trinidad. and that while the bark
was beating around in the charge of the mate
she became short of water and put into Marga-
rita Island. and before anchoring sent boat
ashore asking for water.
About fifty seldiers rowed ont in small boats
eight OF whom were sent aboard the bark and
toCA the first mate and second mate ashore and
KEEP: them there, leaving no one on board who
could take the vessel to sea- They supplied the
bark with food and treated the men generally
well, bI: stripped the vessel of sails ard took

On the 18th all the sailors were sent to

DIAMONDS OF THE DEAD.
A Story of Jewelry Lost in the Quincy Dis
aster.

For weeks past the residents Of Quincy, Mass,
have been rolling under their tongues q choice
morsel of gossip about one of their citizens that
wildly recalls the day of the Quincy disaster
on the Old Colony railroad last summer. On
that day it was whispered about that much
jewelry belonging to passengers en- the i'll
fated train was missing, and it was even stated
that some of the iewelry consisted Of dia-
monds.
From that time on the story gained wide
spread circulation, until today it is in every
body's mouth, not only i'll Quincy. but in the
neiShborinS towns. The story of the alleged
stolen jewelry retailed today is tina. since the
time of the accident the daughter of q we'll
known Quincy man has been seen wearing Gia-
mOEds. The story gains decidedly romantic
flavor, as IL goes on to STATE that young and
good looking private detective hired by the
railroad had been living in Quincy near to the
home OF the young lady. and that he deliber-
Gtely formed the young lady's acquaintance for
the purpose OF making Investigation. He
escorted her TO various enter tainments so the
rumor lad it, and finally he invited her to a
ball in Boston. The detective was said to have
finally succeeded in getting into his hand ring
inside OF which he found marked the letter L.
As these alleged stolen diamonds were said
to have been the property OF the Fenley family
of Louisville nearly ali OF whom lost their liy es
the marked letter Was sufficient evidence &c
confirm the detectives suspicious, and he forced
@ surrender of the jewels.

THE BERING SEAL FISHERIES,
The Canadian Minister of Marine Saws There
is Danger Of Seals Abandoning the Island.

The Canadian Minister Of Marine Says There
is Danger Of Seals Abandoning the Island.
The Toronto Mail publishes an interview
with Hon. C. II. Upper, Canada's minister of
marine and fisheries, which the Mail says
throws new light on the proposal that sealing
operations should be wholly prohibited for a
number of years for the purpose of restocking
the Pribyloff Islands. He admits that there ia
danger, not Of the extinction of seal life, but
of the abandonment Of the islands by SEALS
But while there is no evidence whatever to
show that the Canadian sealers. who do their
hunting in open waters. are responsible for
this state of affairs. it can be proved that i'm
proper methods are adopted by the lessees
themselves and that the ravages Of American
poachers and others have much TO do with il.
The fact appears to be. Minister Upper saws,
that while the United States authorities have
been chasing Canadian vessels all over Boring
sea for hunting in the open, they have exer-
cised no restraint upon the improper opera
tons of the lessees Of the islands and have PAID
little attention to the protection OF the rock r.
les from marauders. The fault, he says is
theirs il there is danger OF the abandonment Of
the islands by the seals. According to Mr.
Upper. the true reason for the demand that
all sealing operations be stopped for term OF
Years is not that tho number OF seals il being
decreased, but that the lessees of the sealing
privileges are anxious to throw up their con-
tracts, which they can do legally and without
forfeit only in case they are prevented from
taking seals.
