OTTAWA (Ont.), Sept 27.-It is reported
that the Captain of one of the British Co
Iumbia sealing vessels seized by Russia
IN the Behrlng Sea, is here for the pur-
pose OF furnishing the Government with
atfldavits of his seizure and information
as to the others; also, he makes the fol-
lowing statement: Having been in the
Baltic, he understands the Russian lam
guage, and while prisoner on board the
Russian gunboat he learned from the
conversations and actions of the Russian
officials that they were instructed to
make only a pretense of Selling Ameri-
can vessels, the real object being to assert
such rights in Behring Sea as would
materially assist the United States in the
approaching arbitration. Be this as it
may, cablegrams regarding these seiz-
ures are passing daily between the Brit
lSh and Canadian Governments. and the
sending Of q British gunboat to the scene
IS regarded as omlnous. The contingency
Is certainly contemplated of war between
Russia and England, and if these seizures
and consequent violations of the treaty of
$50 between Russia and England are re-
garded as cCtSlLS 6eIH. with the United
states assisting Russia the possible con-
sequences to Canada are very serious.

WEAVER ANSWERED.
His Statements of His Treatment in
GEORGIA. EXaggcratod.


Georgia Exaggerated.
ATLANTA (Ga.), Sept. 27.-Chairman
Atkinson of the Democratic Executive
Committee of Georgia has issued a reply
to the published statements Of General
Weaver and Mrs. Lease. He says they
do great injustice, not only to Demo-
Gratis, but to the people of the State. At
Albany no effort was made to prevent
Weaver from speaking, but when prom
inent negro OF that place took the stand to
refute what Weaver said Weaver was so
indignant that negro should attempt to
answer him that he left the platform.
The only foundation for the egg story is
that small boy in the open-air audience
at Macon threw an egg, and was promptly
arrested for it. Viewers claim of perse-
cntion, says Atkinson, is nothing more
than an overlooked effort to pose as a
martyr. His statements deliberately
misrepresent the people of Georgia. and
were cunningly devised for campaign
purposes. He Cancelled his engagements
in Georgia because he saw he had been
imposed upon by his own party man
ayers, who had led him to believe there
was chance for the Peoples party in

MARsHFIELD Orr, Sept 27.-After ten
days of suffering from cold and hunger,
and the probability of filling watery
grave, Captain O'Brien and his watch
man, William Holmes, were rescued
from the whalebacl, steamer Wetmore
this afternoon by Captain Bergman and
the Cmpqua life-saving crew.
\ week after the crew had been taken
off tie wreck. Captain O'Brien and his
Waterman went aboard the vessel during
calm to prevent arties from boarding
her and claiming salvage. A storm came
on, and for the last ten days all efforts OF
the li1e-saving crew to rescue the ship
wrecked men were futile, and it seemed
certain that they must perish.
The sea was not running so high to-day
as yesterday, yet it was a hard struggle
for the rescuers to reach the vessel. After
several hours work they put line
aboard, which Captain o. Brien and
Holmes tied about their waists and then
Jumped into the sea. The lite crew pulled
them safely to the shore.
The men were almost worn out from
exposure. When they saw the lifeboat
upset last Friday they began to feel that

launch, and as last resort he intended
to risk his life on the raft
For the last five days the men have
lived upon one scant meal a day, and this
morning they divided the last biscuit,
which had been set aside for to-day's
meal. Their suffering from cold was
terrible, and for two days they stood in
water UP to their waist and the spray
dashed over their entire body
The wharf at Empire was crowded to-
day when the men came ashore, and the
greatest interest in caring for their wants
was taken by the citizens of that place.laE
The weather side of the Wetmore's
main cabin is stove in, and the vessel will
undoubtedly prove a total loss. 1t is I'M
likely that anyone else will go aboard
her to prevent salvage claim.

ELECTION CASE DECISION.
Ruling of the Supreme Court of Con-
necticut.


NEW HAVEN Com, Sept. 27.-The SUI
preme Court of this State filed decision
in the quo warranto cases of Phelan and
Sanger VS.. Henry to-day. The question
as to whether the General Assembly has
lost the power to declare an election is
passed by, the court desiring it to remain
an open question. Different classes of
ballots in dispute were discussed, and the
majority declares that the Superior Court
is advised that ballots rejected by mod
orators, giving no reason therefor, and
those rejected for double, should be
counted in estimating the whole number
of votes cast; that errors in the count
should be corrected.
The opinion also specifies instructions
in regard to a mum Der of other ballots, re-
jecting some and accepting some.
Judges Seymour and Fem dissent from
the opinion Of the majority that the Supe-
rior Court should have counted the bal
lots, which evidence show they were re-
jected for being double. They hold that
the moderators could do nothing but fol-
low the plain instructions of the law. and
that the action of the Supreme Court in
both cases should be sustained.
