interest to Virginia, but more es.
pecially to this city and section of
the State.
The GAZETTE is now the Oldest
paper in the State, and with few
exceptions the Oldest in the coun-
try, and its usefulness has been de-
monstrated and appreciated during
the NINETY-oNE YEARS of its exist.
ence. In its columns has always
been found mirror Of passing
events and the careful chronicling
of the history Of what is going on
in the world has ever been its aim.
1t is always welcomed in the house
hold, while in the counting room
and work shop it has become in.
valuable.
The GAZETTE, situated as it is so
close to Washington, the great CEN
ire Of news, enjoys daily the bane-
fit of the ASSOCIATED PRESS DIS.
PATCHES from every part Of the
world ; hence its patrons can read
from its columns in the evening
what has transpired that day in ev-
cry portion Of the United States as
well as from every part of the hab-
table globe. Consequently it is
an everyday occurrence for the
GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals about
twelve or fifteen hours earlier than
the morning papers.
Correspondence from Washing
ton, Richmond and every section of
the State is published regularly,
and all events of interest occurring
within the bounds of the Common
wealth are to be found in the COL
umns Of the GAZETTE.
The local department furnishes
full and complete history of every
thing that occurs in and near the
city, and this feature will, as ever,
receive careful attention.
Another feature that serves to
make the GAZETTE great desider-
alum with merchants liz its after
noon market reports from all the
great centres OF the country.
The GAzETTE's circulation in this
city is now larger than at any time
in its history and is steadily increas-
ing, especially among those who
consult its advertising columns be-
fore purchasing.
The COUNTRY EDITION is
nearly as large as that of the daily.

Guilty Of Negligence I'm the Apache-Nico-

Uulify OF Negligence In the Apache-Nico-
line Collision.
Captain III. L. Lubbock. the supervising
Inspector of the First District of the United
States Steam Vessel Inspection Service, is
in recent OF report signed by Local In
spectors +. 5. Talbot and w. A. Phillips on
the collision Of the steamer Apache with
the schooner Nicotine near The Brothers in
the bay Of San Francisco during the night Of
March 10, whereby the bowsprit OF the
schooner was carried away and the steamers
side was damaged.
The report says that the total damage Is
estimated at $500; that the night was clear
and that L. w. Sawtelle, the pilot of the
steamer, observed the schooner about three
minutes before the collision.
The lights OF the schooner were properly
set and burning brightly for considerable
time before the collision happened, while
on the other hand the steamer failed to slow
back or stop, which omission was In viola
ton Of rules 20 and q, section 4233, United
States Revised Statutes.
For reason Of this violation OF the rules
Pilot Sawtelle'S license has been suspended
Tor thirty days.
The same two inspectors also fled an
additional report OH the collision which
occurred near Clarkburg ON the Sacramento
River. on February 16, when the steamer
Apache capSiZed a small fishing boat durip z
the night and one Of the fremen, Ignacio
MueZ, was drowned.
In this case Pilot Sawtelle was also In
charge of the Apache, but the Inspectots
exOnerate him from all blame in the matter
and state in their report that the accident
was due to the fact that the fishermen dis
played a white light as prescribed for small
boats at anchor, while the boat was really
kept IN motion and the men were pulling
toward shore across the steamers bow and

Bugbee condemned the vessel and every
thing belonging TO her to the United States.
An appeal from this decision, which was
rendered on October /, 1891, is now pend
Ing.
The appellant AYERS that the court had no
jurisdiction over the subject-matter, the
otfense having been committed outside the
limits OF one marine league from the shores
OF Alaska, and that the act under which the
schooner was seized Is unconstitutional In
Bering Sea for fishing. hunting and sealing
purposes.
Another matter of Importance In the Ber-
ing Sea question is the Investigation at
present carried on by Special Treasury
Agent Williams, who is taking testimony
concerning the controversy.
1t is claimed by the United States that
pelagic sealing Will extermuate the seal il
it is continued, while the British find fault
with the slaughter methods carried on at the
seal islands.
1t is stated that Agent Williams has much
valuable information on the subject, and
that be expects considerable sensational tes-
timony. which will be used in the present
controversy.
Rumor has it that the origin of seal poach-
Ing business. the ownership OF sealing YES
sells. insurance on poachers, the number Of
vessels fitted out as poaehers this season
and many other similar matters are being
closely looked up, and that one San Fran
cisco firm is interested 10 the amount OF
100000 in q recent purchase Of sealskins
from poachers at Victoria.
