VICTORIA, B. c., July 3.-The exclusion
steamer Queen arrived at Nanimo from
Alaska, yesterday, bringing word that
twenty-five sailing schooners lying the
British flag. together with the British
steamer Coquillon, chartered to act as ten
der to the sealing fleet, have all been gath
cred in by Captain Hoopar, OF the United
States revenue steamer Corwin, for viola

The Colonist special says:-"The Brltlsn
steamer Coouilion. of Vancouver, B. g.
McClellin, master. arrived at Sltka on June
%. in charge of Lieutenant Quinn and AS
sistant Engineer Bretherton, and was
turned over to the United States Collector
of Customs for violation OF the revenue
laws. The Coquillon was seized by cap
tain Hooper at Port Etches, Prince VIII
liam Sound, on June %, for having olanK
manifests on board, showing neither cargo
nor passengers, and for entering ana Tow,
ing vessels out of the ports or Alaska, anu
bringing stores TO and receiving seal-sKlns

"IIer operations were observed by Lieut.
enant j. B. Quinn, of the Corwin, who, dis
guised in citizens clothing, had been OUT 10
Port Etches for the purpose or watching
the movements of the schooners aud steam
ers. The Coquillon is single screw pro-
peller of 100 tons burden, carrying Twelve
men and five passengers, and had on ooaru
nearly 5000 sealskins valued at $IO.OOO, De-
sides all stores for the feet. She is cleared
bv the Union Steamship Company, Oh an

Columbia Sealers' Association, OF VIC
toria.
"The TWENTY-FIVE British schooners
were boarded in Port Etches, and after be-
ing given reasonable time for weather and
repairs, they were ordered out OF the mar
Dor. The seizure of the Coquillod leaves
all the British sailing fleet in the northern
waters without supplies. The Coqulllon
is discharging all the sealskins which she
received from English sealers, and is also
discharging all stocks which she was going
TO put on board the sealers when she was
taken in charge.

British steamer were in the port oil EtcueS

here. IL is thought Captain Hooper's ac-

OMAHA, NEB., July 3.-The vast as
semblage which attended the second
DAYS session Of the Peoples party af-
forded striking proof of the respect in
which the memory of the late Col. Polk
is held by the supporters Of the move
ment which be was instrumental in
founding. The session was devoted eX-
clusively TO the delivery of addresses
eulogistic OF the dead champion of re-
form, aud expressive of the reverence
in which his name is held. Though
the speeches contained many inspiring
sentences as to the future OF the fight
in which the independent party is en-
gagged, the recognition of the loss which
the party has sustained in the
death of its leader seemed
10 be the one thought
which occupied the minds OF the dele
gates and rarely was there departure
from a solemn silence which gave to
the gathering more the air OF church
service than of great National Con-
ventiop. After prayer by Chaplain
DifTenbacher, the opening address was
delivered by Mr.. II. L. LOucks, of South

and feeling which caught every member
OF the vast audience and was received
with a silence which bore testimony TO
the respect in which the memory OF the
late President OF the Farmers Alliance
is held BY those whose movement he had
been identified.
Addresses were also made by Mrs.

For Congress This wesk-The Silver
Question Knocks All Calculations In the
Head.
WASHINGTON, B. c., July 3.-There
is lively work ahead for Congress this
week. The routine that must be dis-
posed OF is important and interesting
enough in itself but impending over all
is the shadow of that liveliest OF corp
ses. the Silver Bill, which will pot stay
buried but turns up in new guise at
this busy moment in Congress 10 de-
strpy the calculations OF political lead
ers and disturb the peace OF mind OF
members who felt sure that they had
succeeded in avoiding an open express
sion OF opinion and directyote on en-
batrassing questions.
In the Senate the proceedings prom
Use TO be largely of routine character
and will concern the appropriation bills
principally. Only one OF these bills
the Agricultural, has finally passed both
houses and the others are in conference.
Ordinarily this would be considered a
very satisfactory state of affairs, but In
the present case the differences between
the two houses are extreme and the
spirit of obstinacy which has been ex-
hibited on both sides threatens to de-
fer indefinitely final action upon the re-
naming appropriation bills. Probably
the most of the time OF the Senate
during the week will be given up to the
consideration OF conference reports, In
terspersed with some calender business
and some discussion and possibly action
on the silk cultural bill, which is the
subject OF special order.
The glorious Fourth unfortunately
this year falls upon suspension day and
in Difference to universal patriotism the
House declines TO meet But not 10
surrender the advantages which may be
derived by the House under It's rules,
the Committee on Rules will report
resolution designating Wednesday or
Thursday as suspension day. Whether
this resolution will be adopted Is doubt
full. 1t being an open secret that the
Democrats intend to pass the tin plate
and other tariff bills under suspension,
the Republicans, with their steadfast
purpose TO defeat those measures. will
resort TO filibustering TO defeat the
making Of such an order
If either side yields, the remainder OF
the week will be consumed in the con-
sideratlon OF conference reports; that
Is, II no report is made by the Coinage
Committee on the Senate free silver
coinage bill. If that report is made,
the Rules Committee will be requested
to bring in special order for the i'm
mediate consideration Of the bill, and
will do so il majority OF the Demo
cratic members sign the request. What
will follow is problematical, and the
only prediction that can be made is that
there will be one of the most animated
contests that this session has witnessed.

LONDON, July 3.-After the expected
hardening OF rates at the beginning OF the
week, discount again relapsed TO the old
rate. three fourths for three months and
one-half for short. The actual amount OF
money pressing for employment is not
large but the demand Is unusually limited.
Silver after slight recovery carly in the
week, fell sharply on Wednesday on the
poor result Of the India Council allotment,
but became firm later on the increased In
dian demand and the action OF the U. s.
Senate.
American railway securities were fairly
steady during the week, under the infiu-
ence OF favorable Vanderbildt dividends.
Securities Of coal roads were favored, ow-
ing 70 the probability of higher prices In

I'm a graduated income tax lies the
true solution Of the vexed questi on
OF Federal taxation.
I'VE condemn the fallacies Of protec-
tion to American labor under the pres
ent system, which opens our ports to
the pauper and criminal classes OF the
world and crowds out our wage work
ers, and we denounce the present inef-
fectjve laws against contract labor as a
subteriuge to catch the votes OF the
American workingmen.
1--WE demand free ballot and fair
count In all elections, and pledge cur
selves 20 secure it to every legal voter
without Federal interference, through
the adoption by the States Of the Aus

A Strange Legend of the Find of Seven
spaniards.

GALENA, Mo, July 3.-The Ozark
mountains, of Missouri, present field
for the levers Of the curious which Is
not to be found this side OF Old Mexico.
This whole country was at one time un-
der the domination of the Spanish.
when they first explored this part OF the
continent, and their relics are TO be
found all over the hills, in the shape OF
excavations and old mines, and la many
instances their very tools are TO be
found Just where they left them over
hundred or two hundred years ago.
But it is not only their relics and
tools that are left as reminder OF the
Spanish explorers, but they have left
legends and stories which have been
handed down with implicit faith from
generation TO generation, until they
have become part Of the history OF the
country.
About eighteen miles southwest OF
Gaena is an old Spanish mine, which Is
reputed TO be rich with gold and silver,
as we'll as with lead, yet no man has
ever had The temerlty To work the mine
on account OF the story which Is attached
TO 10 and the certain nncanny feeling
which is said to overcome any one who
dares to profane the place with his
presence.
The story Is that in this mine great
riches were found by seven men, who
were so overcome by their good fortune
that they could not agree
as TO the division OF the
find, but each was eager 10 have
the whole for himself, and the result
was that one by one they were killed
by their companions until but one man
was left, and then it is related that
during the night he was set upon by
the whole ghostly band and choked TO
death by the spirits OF the men who he
had helped murder.
