NEW YORK, Oct I0-Edmund Yates
special cablegram to the Tribune from
London says: The Qneen is to return to
Windsor from Balmoral either November
12 or 10. If the weather be fine her stay at
Deeside will be prolonged until the 18th
INST, but if wet and stormy, as has lately
been the case. the court will leave on the
11th inst. During her stay at Mari lodge
the Princess OF Wales has been In much
better spirits than at any time since the
Duke Of Clarence's death. She has entered
into everything that has been going on and
has Joined every gathering. although sew
eral have been very large ones. The Prin-
cess health is quite restored and she spends
great deal of time in the open air, gener-
ally fishing.
In very short time vigorous Unionist
campaign will be started throughout the
country and it will last until Parliament
meets again. Lord Salisbury will GER
tainly have something to say as to the
future of Ulster when ne meets the Ireland
noncomforists at the beginning OF NO

his utterances are To be made public or not.
Then Lord Randolph Churchill and Bal

Meanwhile the Unionist organization. more

tinued until and after the end of the recess.
The innermost workings OF literary circles
have been fluttered with whispers that
something wonderful is going to happen to

that the Times has, or is supposed, been
laying in a large supply Of paper OF an in

The Schooner Haleyon Has Been Caught
LaW.Breaking at Last.
SHE WAS OUT HUNTING FOR DUCKS.
There Was Dissemination on Her Captains Part
to Answer Questions, but the Facts We're
Too Plain for Denial.
Special 20 THE MORNING CALL.

}. VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 10.-The schooner
| HaIcyon, long recognized as one Of the
most daring smugglers on the coast. is
| caught at last. She has been for a long
| time source of trouble to the customs au-
thorties, and her movements have always
been regarded with suspicion. More than
once she got off by the merest technicality.
Eight or ten days ago she entered these
waters, and having hovered around for
several days was seized. Captain Collins
AYERS that he came in through stress of
weather, but that be had been here before
under somewhat similar circumstances he
did not deny.
During the four days investigation in the
Custom house the captain was examined at
length, and in reply to questions as to his
mission said he was bound for the North
Seas" The answer was considered evaslve,
and when requested to state what was his
mission there. he replied hunting"
Hunting tor what?" was asked.
"For duck" answered the master OF the
schooner.
The answer was significant. and the re-
luctance of the officers OF the schooner when
questioned as TO details was marked. "They
came from San Francisco for foreign
port" was considered decidedly indefinite
reply when minute details were being looked
for. ,
The Halcyon has made numerous calls at
Victoria and when she leaves there is al
ways supposed 10 be a marked dlminu.lon
in the Chinese population and also In the
normal stock in trade Of opium. Indeed,
she has been for a long time among the
most prominent Of suspects" though there
is only the present convictop iegisteIeu
against her. She is known positively TO
have been at Hills Island. near Sidney
Island, aud to have communicated with
shore there. She is also known to nave
anchored off Barclay Sound, and TO nave
made similar communication, without nav
ing reported the fact to the customs authOri-
| ties.
During the investigation these facts were
so clearly established that the master OF the
| schooner did not attempt to bring any re-
| futing evidence. He had three Japs on
| board aud a Chinese cook, none OF whom
| are now available as witnesses. The cap
| tain's statement is that. on the last occasion,
| he came in through stress of weather, and
while he admits having passed Esqulmalt
and Victoria. be says Ie would have MADE
another port mad he had charts to enable
him to do so.
Collector Milne has nned the vessel $500.

POLITICAL AFFAIRS.
Encouraging Reports Received by the
Republican Leaders.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Io.-Some very en-
couraging letters are being received at the
White House concerning the political out
look. Voluntary reports of the situation in
all the important States are constantly
coming In from prominent politicians, who
are keeping up with the public sentiment
and looking into thDgs-not for the purpose
of deceiying themselves with false hopes,
but with the idea of learning the truth. OF
all the letters that have been received none
have given any reason for encouragement.
They show what has been apparent TO
every 0ne-that there is seeming apathy
among the people; but they indicate that
there is no reason for the Republicans to be
uneasy about this ~hateyer There has

b at There Are Few Vessels Afoat That
Can Touch Her for Speed.
Pretty nearly every man. woman and
child on the coast has heard or read of the
career of the Halcyon during the past two
years, and especially during the past two
months. The elusive schooner has done
more to find occupation for Collector Phelp ps
and his merrie men than any score of ves-
sells that have entered the port with more or
less suspicion Of opium about them
The Halcyon was built for yacht, after
the designs of w. G. Hall, the well-knowp
vessel-builder Of this city. Her model occu-
pies proud and prominent position on the
walls in Mr. Halls office. Few craft have
ever been built with finer lines, and from
the day she was launched, about ten wears
ago. she has easily upheld reputation for
| speed such as the Jessie possesses now.
| And there Is considerable likeness in a
general way between the Jessie and the
! Halcyon. SO that those who wish to get an
| idea of the celebrated smuggler can do so by
| proxy, by taking peep at the Jessie
For several years the Halcyon flew the
flag OF the Pacific Yacht Club, but at length
| she was sold, and from the hour of the sala
| there was a mystery about the craft. She
would put into the harbor In a hasty sort
OF way and vanish two or three days after
like dream. All this time tons of opium
were finding their way into San Francisco
Occasionaiiy sibdii scIZuIoS were maze on
the China Mail steamers or on the steamer
from Puget Sound, but ii has been made
manifest by recent events In the Haleyon's
career that she was being run very success
fully In smuggling enterprises of the most
comprehensive description, with head
quarters In Victoria, and branches at San
Francisco, Honolulu, Yokohama and Hong
Kong.
In September. 1890. the Haicyon went
ashore on the rocks at Yokohama, Japan.
She had even then a quantity of opium
aboard. and 1t was after this that suspicion
hogan to fasten on her with increasing per-
sistency.
About two months ago Collector Phelps
| received Information from an uUQuestion-
able source at Victoria that the Halcyon
with about twenty-five coolies and $500, 600
worth of opium aboard was about to make
a descent on San Francisco or the adjacent
coast. So many tugs were sent out, so
many precautions were made to secure the
valuable prize that the report that the
Haeyon had landed twenty coolies at Mon
terey and then skipped off in big hurry
startled every one Then for two or three
weeks nothing was heard of her. and it was
believed she had gone to Honolulu.
She next turned up at Victoria without a
grain OF opium in her and nothing to show
that she had been on anything but pleas
ure trip or hunting and fishing trip. Soon
1t became rumored that the Halcyon was
going to make another venture, aud this
time the customs authorities resolved on
the measure which has now resulted in the
| seizure OF the vessel.
