Hooper of the cutter Corwin, at Port

for having blank manifestoes on board,
showing neither cargo nor passengers,
and for entering and towing vessels out
of the ports Of Alaska and bringing stores
to the British sealing fleet, and receiving
sealskins in return, within the jurisdic-
ton of the United States, without entry
or permit.
The seizure of the Coquillam leaves all
of the British sealing fleet in the north
ern waters without supplies. The news
was great surprise.
1t was thought 9hat the action of Capt.
Hooper of the Corwin was to cut off the
schooners from their source of supply,
thus starving them home. This will not
be the result with all, as some of the
boats are outftted for the whole season,
but few may be compelled to return.

Doings of the Delegates-stin Hoping for
Gresham.
OMAHA, Neb., July 1.-Two hundred
delegates of the Peoples party conven-
ton, followers of Edward Bellamy,
had meeting here today. Major
Henry Winn of Massachusetts pre-
sided. Nearly all the states and
territories were represented. W. P. Rog-
ers of California, declared that in his
state the people were socialists and this
remarkable reformation was brought
about by careful study of Bellamy' S
book. Mr.. Cox of Illinois said that the
nationalists in Chicago cast 10000 votes
for their candidate for mayor. The Peo-
ple's party would never amount to any
thing unless it took up the ideas of the
nationalists.
Although Judge Gresham said he
would not accept the nomination of the
Peoples party, he is still the man of the
aggressive faction. They say he will ac-
cept the nomination if rendered him and
that the success of the party demands
that he be named. There is every indi-
cation that Gresham's name will be pre-
sented to the convention by his admirers
and an attempt made to force his nomi-
nation.
Mr.. Canon of California says: "There
is some crookedness about these Gres-
ham dispatches. We shall wait until to-
morrow and learn more before we accept
these dispatches as authentic
Messrs. Streeter of Illinois, Templeton
of Indiana and Orr of Colorado left Oma-
ha tonight to find Judge Gresham and

skipper, who carried Deputy Sheriff
Peter A. Martin to sea on the schooner
Carrie A. Bucknam from Eastport, in
the latter part of May writes from Card
enas, Cuba, explaining his position in
this singular proceeding, which caused
such sensation in marine circles at the
time. Capt. Stubbs says he had shipped
a cabin boy, Cne boy saying THAT his par
ents consented. When the deputy sher-
ifs attempted to arrest the skipper for
shipping minor, he found that they
were proceeding without warrant.
Capt. Stubbs says he had no desire to
take the boy unless everything was all
right, and sent the youngster ashore.
The skipper did object to being arrested
without due process of law, and as Sher-
iff Martin refused to leave the vessel,
when she sailed he went too. After a
little seafaring, the marshal was trans
ferred to an inward bound ship. Capt.
Stubbs says that instead of carrying the
officer to sea- he offered to send him
ashore and the offer was rejected.
