BEHRING SEA CASE
The United States Supreme
Courts Decision.
IT IS AGAINST GREAT BRITAIN.
Any Other Conclusion Would ACT Disas-
trously to This Country:

The Supreme Court Had Power to Issue q
Writ OF Prohibition to the Alaska
Court, and Decides that the Latter
Court Was Acting a. District Court of
the United States.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Sayward
or Behring Sea case was decided yester-
day by the Supreme Court of the
United States against the British gov
eminent.
The case came to the Supreme Court
on an application for writ of prohibit
ton to the District Court of the United
States for the District Of Alaska to re-
strain the enforcement of q sentence of
forfeiture and condemnation entered in
that court in Septem Der, 1887, on libel
filed by the United States against the
schooner w. P. Sayward upon the
ground that the Alaska court was
without Jurisdiction in the premises.
The petition was presented by Sir John
Thompson, the Attorney General of
Canada, with the knowledge and ap-
proval of the British government, re-
questing the aid of the court for the
claimant, British subject.
The main averment of the British
government in the case was, that the
a
sailing upon the high seas and f1fty-nine
miles from any land, was forcibly seized
by United States revenue cutter, and
forcibly carried to Sitka, where she was
detained by o United States Marshal.
libelled by the United States District-At-
torney for Alaska, and condemned by
the Alaska District Court for having
killed fur seal at the place of seizure
The case was taken to the Supreme
4 nV1rff in hrTk
Cooper, who was advised that his appeal
would not be considered. Last year,
however, the case was again brought TO
the Supreme Court, on the application
for writ of prohibition. The evident
purpose of the action was to determine
whether the United States had
jurisdiction over sBehring Sea as a
Mare Clausen. A decision against the
United States would be prima-facie
evidence of Great Britain's refusal to
recognize the rights of this country over
the seal-fsheries in the sea.
In the decision Of the court, rednered by
Chief Justice Fuller, the court says with
reference to the contention of the United
States that the Supreme Court did not
have power to issue writ of prohibition
to the Alaska Court, that although it
was of the opinion that when the sappli.
cation for the rule was made, and that il
subsequently, held that the District Court
of Alaska was not one of the courts
mentioned in article III. of the constitu-
ton declaring that the judicial power of
the United States shall be vested in one
supreme court and7in such inferior
courts as Congress shall from time to
time establish, it nevertheless concluded
tina where the District Court of Alaska
was acting as a District Court of the
United States, and as such, proceeding
admiralty IL caunn with IN III OF eook;oy,
and that the Supreme Court had power
70 issue the writ Of prohibition 30 that
court in proper case and as the: ques-
ton involved could Do, in the courts

TIRED OF WAITING.
Mrs. Fierce's Husband Failed to Provide
Home For Her.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y, March IAN
action for divorce has been commenced
by Mrs. Viola Pierce against her husband,
George Pierce, Of Highland Falls.
The couple were married at Highland
Falls in 1888, and at the time the mar
riage caused sensation in the social cir
cles of Orange County. The bride was
very beautiful and of prominent fam
lily, while the groom was popular and
well known around the neighborhood.
The marriage was a secret one.
Before the honeymoon was over Pierce
went to Kingston to provide home for
his bride. Months passed, but the bride
never got glimpse at the promised DOM
Gle. Then Mrs. Pierce went to South
Norwalk, Ct, refusing to have anything
more to do with her husband. He FOL
lowed her, however, and induced her to
Z return to her mother at Highland Falls.
Pierce made plenty of promises and for
time all went smooth. Trouble soon
broke out again and Mrs. Pierce took
another trip to South Norwalk Pierce
followed her, and after remaining there
few days, returned to Duchess County
and began proceedings for divorce on the
statutory grounds. Ono O'Donnen was
named as correspondent. The notice was
served by publication. This angered
Mrs, Pierce and she Immediately engaged
q lawyer to begin counter suit for
divorce.
The first hearing was had few weeks
ago and Pierce was ordered to pay
counsel fees and q weekly allowance,
pending a settlement Of the case. Pierce
made one payment and then withdrew
his suit

''that Father Ducey tries to shield him
self by drawing the Archbishop In the
matter. All that the Archbishop had TO
do with the marriage was to issue the
dispensation. Father Ducey came to the
Archbishop's house with young Mr..
Blaine and Miss Sevins. He explained
the situation. The Archbishop was re.
lnctant to grant a dispensatlon. He
talked to the young couple for more
than an hour, but. he could not ,dissuade
them from their purpose. The young
man said that AS he, lacked but few
weeks of being II; there could be no oh

any prejudice on my part1 can safely say
that he has made great mess of it this
time. just at present will confine
myself entirely to that part of his state
ment where he tries to hit at me.
''His story of our interview with Mrs
Blaine is largely manufactured out of
what took place. I accompanied my
daughter to the house. The nurse and
the child were with us. We were
shown into the drawingroom. Mrs.
