A Story that Poaching Steamer Dis.
abled Her,

PORT TOWNSEND, July II. - The
United States man of.war Mohican was
fired upon by the seal-poaching steamer
Alexander in Behrng sea on May 25th
and disabled. The Alexander escaped,
Meager details of the battle were re-
ceived here tonight from Onalaska via
Sitka on the steamer Topeka.
The Alexander sailed from San
Francisco last April under the Hawai-
ian flag, ostensibly for hunting and
fishing voyage in the North Pacific
ocean. The popularity OF her outfit
was that she carried over sixty men,
many of them expert seal hunters, and
that she had over forty Winchester
rifles and several small cannon. She
also carried an unusually large amount
of salt for preserving skins, as well as
many hogsheads in which to pack her
catch of skins. The men selected by
Skipper Mclean were notorious IN
San Francisco as fellows who would
enjoy a fight, and though it was given
out that she intended to visit the Japan
seal rookeries, and perhaps those OF
Copper island, on the Siberian coast,
Mclean, her commander, was notorl
Gus as having conducted several raids
on the Japan coast One Of his vessels
was seized by the Russians after a
lively fight.
In spite of the fact that her destlna,
ton was given out as the Japan coast
it was believed that she contemplated
raids on the Russian or Behring seal
rookeries and the American patrolllng
fleet was warned to look out for her.
At daylight on May 25th the Alex
ander was observed by the Mohican
coming out from under the lee Of an
island where seals usually congregate
in large numbers. The Mohican,
which is the flagship of the squadron
and commanded by Captain NIchol
Ludlow, signaled the Alexander to
heave to, which she disobeyed, and a
couple of shots were fired across her
bows.
The Alexander put on all steam and
returned the A small .six-pounder
shot struck the Mohican amidships and
disabled the engines. The man-of-war
sent a couple of shots after the fleeing
poacher, but they flew wide Of the
mark. The Mohican lay to SIX hours
repairing machinery.
Meanwhile the Alexander escaped
in the thick fog which was settling
down The Mohican spent several
days in searching for the vessel and
returned to Oonalaska just as the
steamer Crescent City was leaving for
Sitka. The MohiCan visited the island
where the Alexander had been and
found ample evidence to warrant the
assumption that large number Of seals
had been killed lately.
WASHINGTON, July I9.-Any doubt
that may have existed in the mind of
the acting Secretary OF the Navy as to
the improbability of the story that the
United States steamer Mohican had
been fired upon and disabled by the
sealer Alexander has now been set at
rest. The latest versions agree in fix
ing the date of the alleged engagement
as May 25th The records of the
Navy Department show that the Mohi-
can was at Port Townsend as late as
May 27th and that she did not leave
for Bering Sea until some time after
that.

A Reply to Mr.. Fay's Charge.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Permit me space in your columns
for reply to what my friend, MIR.
Fay, ex.clerk to the county com.
missioners, considers Republican
Islander"
The information contained in an
article appearing in The REpUB-
LIcAN of May IL, came from my
self, and that information was
made in good faith. | said that a
false basis of $1,000 appeared on
the records in my office, and that
no seaprate report was made of the
contingent fund.
In one report made and returned
by the Treasurer in September,
1892, insolvencies amounting to
$3.50, 066 was taken from plain open
accounts; another was that of the
Oakland and State Line railroad
amounting to $50, 900, which added
to the above makes $1S6,066
What goes up to make this
amount of false basis were the
lands claimed by II. p. Tasker to
be in this county and uuassessed,
the Graham lands, the Maryland
Union Coal Co., and the Oakland
and State Line Railroad.
Every item that goes to make up
this vast amount should have been
stricken from the assessment books
when it was aScertained that it was
wrong, at Mr.. Fay admits. But he
failed to do this and therefore
failed to do his sworn duty.
Mr.. Fay admits that he made the
transfer of the Maryland Coal Co. S

one with half an eve or an atom of
common sense should duplicate that

The Great American Navy Still
"EvoluteS,o

The speed tests of the cruiser
New York show her to be the fast
est cruiser ahoat. Even the Blake,
of the English Navy, so greatly ad
mlred in the recent naval review,
would be quickly left behind by
this new wonder of the seas. For
four hours the enormous speed of
21.09 knots an hour was kept up
in the New York's trial trip, and
the proof is clear that she could
fight with any warship on The
planet and run away without re-
ceiving anv serious injury.
The performance of this new ship
on Monday was not only a matter
of delight to her builders, but also
source of satisfaction to the Amer
lean people. We are not only
building our own ships, but are sur
passing all the nations of the earth.
The pace set by the New York
both with reference to ornaments
and speed, has set all the vessels of
Europe into the second class,
None of them can match her, all
things considered. Within a brief
period the American Government
has created naval supply plant,
and the ship-builders OF Philadel-
phia and Baltimore have put two
of the best cruisers of the world
upon the rolling waters.
This surprising success in ship
architecture is only another proof
of the proud destiny to W hich the
people of the United States have
been called, Supremacy in every
thing is already written upon our
banners, and the New York is a
product of which as people We may
be justly proud.

claims that Mr.. McKaig is "stal-
wart Democrat. We deny that
he ever was so considered by the
faction in Garrett which the Demo
crot represents until his reelection

and so denounced him time and
again. The Democrat then asserts
that Mr.. Laird made his fight for

A British Viaw of the Democratic
Tariff POLICY,

arm FOllCy.
j. Stephen Jeans discusses with
unusual fraukness and persplcuity
for an English writer the Ameri-
can Tariff in the Fortntghtly Re-
eieW. He starts out by saying that
very large portion of the manu-
featuring and commercial popula-
ton of the British Islands have
been imbued with the convection
that if the Democrats only returned
to power in the United States Brit
ish manufactures would pour into
this country like a flood. Then
he proceeds to show why the an
reasonable hopes that the greatest
market in the worlds history will
be "once again lying at the feet of
British industry and commerce"
are likely to be disappointed.
1t Is true, this writer says, that
the Democrats have dangled before
the eyes of the agriculturlst the
tempting bats of cheaper labor,
cheaper transport and cheaper i'm
pIements of husbandry. But. he
adds, under the Tariff system the
prosperity of the United States has
been amazing, and he proceeds to
cite a number of tests by which the
measure of this prosperity may be
gagged. These facts are familiar
to the people of this country and
do not call for repetition here, but
the article is note worthy for the
reason that it refutes nearly every
essential statement made by the
Free-Trade organs during the Pres.
idential campaign, and he con-
cludes that all the facts go to show
that the condition of the working
classes of the United States was
greatly improved during the de-
cade, whatever statements to the
contrary may haye been made.
The writer IN the RerietC disa-
grees with the Tariff reformer in
regard to the effect of the Tariff on
foreign trade, the increase in both
exports and imports during the de-
cade beng greater than has occurred
in the same space of time in any
other country of the world. He is
especially impressed by the increase
of exports of manufactured pro-
ducts. In conclusion he does not
see how the United States can afford
to do away with the Tariff unless
the duties on silk goods and other
articles which in Great Britain are
called Injuries, but which IN the
United States are used bv the
masses of the people, are greatly
increased. lie does not expect
much from the Democratic party

Progress on the Building of the New
Lutheran Church.
Although there may be some
minor reasons assigned for the SEEM
ingly slow progress of work on the
new Lutheran church in Oakland,
yet we may confidently assert they
are chiefly due to a combination of
causes arising out of the new style
of building.
The building has not been let
out to contractors and much of the
labor and material has been donated
or furnished at rates much less than
current prices.
The windows are all memorials
furnished by societies and individ-
uals.
The chief new feature of the
building is brick veneer, and the
reasons for its use are as follows:
l. 1t lessons danger by fire and
hence lessons rates for insurance.
,, 1t prevents dampness because
of the air chamber between the
outer and inner walls.
,. 1t makes "a warmer room in
winter
4. 1t makes u cooler room in
summer,
5. The brick anchors the frame.
6. The frame Strengthens the
walls.
Z. 1t gives the appearance of
solid brick wall.
s. 1t costs less than a solid brick
wall.
8. 1t is as durable as if the walls
were solid brick.
10. 1t is more desirable than a
solid brick wall.
Hence at the risk of trying some
thing new the committee decided to
take this for exterior covering of its
walls.
The work is progressing very
nicely under the efficient manage
ment of Mr.. John Ault, as superin-
tendent.
The contract for roofing has been
let to Mr.. c. NJ. Beachy, and it
will be OF slate, done in two colors,
black and green with some modest
designs in cut work.
Numerous contingencies prevent
assigning date for dedication, but
sometime in August is aimed at.
