A PlRATlCAl CHlNAMAN
Conspires to Seize Ship-AttackS IA
Countryman aud Commits 8 suicide.


GLOUCESTER, Mass, March 20. City
Physician Morrow boarded the ship Anne
NJ. Small this afternoon whom the horrible
spectacle was seen OF man lying uncou-
scious on his berth, carved almost beyond
recognition. The man was Chinamau and
the attack on him was made by his nlu
rated countryman with dirk knife 10
inches long. This was the cook of the YES
sci and his assailant was the steward.
Capt. Hoves said that three weeks ago
the steward showed symptoms OF insanity
and tried to kill himself. when he was plsc ID
in irons and confined between decks. An
examination being made a large quantity of
opium was found.
After n weeks confinement the cook sue
cessfuly interceded with the Captain TO iO-
crate him, but he was found one night in
the mates room with hatchot while the
latter was asleep. He had previously been
in the captains cabin, but on his wite's
awakening, left. The captain having reass
sons to believe that conspiracy was going
on, armed himself with a revolver, but
everything went along smoothly until 2
O'Clock Tuesday morning last, when the
mate, rushing into the cabin, said the stow
ard was killing the cook in the galley.
The captain and officers, together with
the watch on deck, broke open the galley,
when they found both mon on the floor and
the steward with knife and butcher axe
was chopping the cook to pieces The stew
ard retreated to the stateroom and fastened
the door.
| The wounded man was taken into the
cabin, where he told the captain the steward
had planned with him to kill oil the officers,
together with the lady and seize the ship.
This he had first consented to- but later re-
coiled from the murderous plot, which In
furiated his countryman and led him to
commit his rash deed. The steward seeing
his plan had been frustrated committed
suicide. The recovery OF the cook is doubt
| full. The crew said that they knew nothing
| Of the murderous scheme OF the steward
The captain and his wife were very kind
and had ven the Cinnamon no provoca-
ton for this conspiracy.

SENDING OUT THE FLEET.


WASHINGTON, March %. Secretary
Blaine attended the cabinet meeting TO day
Notwithstanding the fact that he has not yet
fully recovered from bis recent severe at
tack of grip. An the other members were
prompt IN attendance.
Secretary Foster and Tracy had a confer
ence prior to the nesting presumably in re-
gard to orders to be sent to the naval and
revenue vessels to be assigned TO the duty of
patrolllng the sealing grounds. 1t is prac-
tically settled that this service will be as
signed to the warships Charleston, Balti-
more, Boston, Yorktown, Adams, Ranger
and Michigan ana the revenue vessels Cor
win, Bear, Rush and Alhatross.
The entire session of the cabinet was de-
| voted to the consideration OF the Boring
sea queetion 1t is understood that this
government will await a reply from Lord
Salisbury to the presidents note of the 32d
INST. before proceeding on the assumption
that Great Britain Will not cooperate il

This government cannot consent to have
what 1t believes to be its right destroyed or
impaired pending their determination by an
agreed tribunal however inadequate the
security offered.
The reference in my last note to the in
consistency of her majesty's government in
denying responsibility for ths acts of the
Canadian sealers was not intended to sug
gest willingness on our part under any
circumstances to see our property con verted
into claim for damages, and particularly
as such n claim cannot now be heard or de-
termined by the arbitrators without re-
formation of tho treaty for his lordship must
remember that while he now offers what he
mistakenly calls security for satisfying any
damages which the arbitrators may ad-
judge, he has already carried his point In
the treaty that the arbitrators shall have no
jurisdiction to award any damages.
AS to his lordship's suggestion that Cana
dian sealers may have some claim for COM
pensation il Great Britain shall restrain
pelagic sealing, the president directs me to
say that he is not able to see how the citi
zens or subjects of either of the treaty pow
ers can by any rule Of law or equity support
any claim against their respective govern
ments growing out of such necessary trade
iSoll dlH U as bue kONti may
impose to promote the larger consideration
OF public good and international peace.
The president directs rue to say in cqnclu-
sion that the modus of last year is the least
that this government can accept. He does
not desire to protract this discussion, and
having now il the most friendly spirit sub
mitted the considerations which support the
just demand of this government that the
property, which is the subject of an agreed
arbitration, shall not be subjected to spo-
liation pending the arbitration, he expresses
hope that Lord Salisbury will gives prompt
aud friendly assent to renew the modus.
The president will hear with regret that
her majesty's government continues to as
sert right to deal with this subject pre-
cisely as ii no provision had been made for
a settlement of the dispute; and i'll that
event this government as has already been
poin ted out will be compelled to deal with
the subject upon the same basis, and to use
every means i'll its power to protect from
destruction or serious injury property aud
jursdictional rights which it has long
claimed and enjoyed"

preparing suitable reply. The character
OF this response would indicate in the Dresi-

The reception of the communication has
largely removed any doubt of the favor

SALlSBURY'S PLAN TO BE ACCEPTED
The President VIII Meet the Englisl
Premier Half Way.


WASHINGTON, March est is said on
good authority that the president ami his
cabinet are well pleased with the concila-
tory tone Of Lord Salisbury 8 note of the
2Gth especially as it is held to concede the
point that has been the principal cause Of
contention, viz, II renewal Of the modus
viyendi of last year for the protection of the
seal fisheries This alleged concession is be-
lieved to be i'm lied in his proposition to
agree to q modus, in case the treaty of arb-
tration is ratified, under the condition that
each government shall guarantee the other
for damages incurred through the suspen-
sion of sealing operations.
One official, who has been consulted by the
president in regard to the negotiations, said
he was especially pleased with Lord Sails
bury's admission that Great Britain would
hold itself liable for damages resulting to
the United States because OF the modus
vvendi in the event that the verdict of the
arbitrators is adverse to its contention. He
said that taking it altogether Lord Sails
bury's note is satisfactory as indicating a
good prospect for an amicable settlement
OF the questions at issue.
Further correspondence will be necessary
to settle the method of determining the
character OF damage claims.
Officials who are informed on the sub ect
estimate the seal catch of Canadian poach
ers in Boring sea last season at 2S 600 SKINS
| This is exclusive of the number of seals
killed and not captured aud the pups who
starved to death on the islands because of
the slaughter Of their mothers at sea-
The catch during 1890 was slightly less
than in 1891, and in 1889 was less tnan III
1890. the fact that the catch in
1891, when sealing in Bering sea was
wholly prohibited, was larger than in 1890,
when it was only partially restricted i.
explained by the fact that there were many
more vessels engaged in sealing in 1891
than in the previous year. These figure:
tend to indicate the amount OF damages the
United States would be required to pay il
case this government agrees to Lord Sal
isbury's proposition for modus vivendi
with al indemnity liability in the even
that the arbitrators decide against the
United States on the question OF its juris
dctional rights in Boring sea.
On the other hand, if the arbitrators de
eide against the contention OF Great Britain
that government will be liable for tn
claims of the North American Commercial
company against the United States for non
performance of contract etc. BY this con
tract the catch was limited to Co. 900 skin,
the first year and 100 0)0 each subsequent
year. Uutor the terms of the modu
vivend the company was restricted t.
Z, 800 skins.
