brought advices which finally Settle the
mystery concerning the Hawaiian
steamer Alexander, which was fitted
out in San Francisco some time ago, os.
tensibly for a fishing cruise.
The Alexander, under command OF
Captain Mclean. sailed from San Fran
cisco for Honolulu last April, and later
left Honolulu at night. On June % the
Alexander was Intercepted in Behrina
sea by the United States warship 40
hican. The Mohican ordered the Alex.
ander to lay to for the purpose of being
inspected, but, instead of doing so, the
Alexander increased her speed and at
tempted to escape. The Mohican pur-
sued her, and fired two blank shots
across her bow as signal for her to
heave to-.
In supreme disregard of the order.
the Alexander steamed fslster, and
when the Mohican fired another blank
cartridge, the Alexander trained her
6-pounder on her pursuer, and sent a
shell crashing through tho sides of the
warship and into her gunroom. The
ball played havoc with the ships ma
chinery and completely disabled the
lIohican. At this iuncture dense fog
arose and the Alexander made her
escape, while the Mohican had to an
Choir six hours for repairs.

Further advices have been received
to the effect that lieutenant from the
cutter Richard Rush, boarded the
schooners Alexander of San Francisco,
and the ST. Paul of Kodiak, on July L,
in little cove near Okoniah situated so
miles northeast of Kodiak. Both YES
sells claimed to have been taking wood
and water. The Alexander was ex-
aInined and passed muster.
When the lieutenant attempted to
board the St. Paul, he was met with re-
sistance, but finally succeeded in find
ing six sealskins aboard This SO in
censed the Sc. Paul skipper that he in
formed the lieutenant that the Alexan-
der also had sealskins aboard. The lieu
tenant then paid second visit to the
Alexander and found aboard 16 seal
skins. Both vessels were then formally
seized and prize crews placed aboard
them. The Gchooners were sent to Alas
ka, where they will be held until the
next term of the district court.

The Viking Arrives.

The Viking ship which sailed from
Norway in April reached New York on
Saturday. 1t had aboard crew Of
twenty brave sailors who demonstrated
the feasibility of crossing the ocean in
the little vessels used by the Norsemen
at the time it is claimed Lief Ericsson
discovered these shores.
The vessel and crew were given royal
reception in New York bay, being re-.
ceived amid the waving of flags, the
booming of cannon, and blowing of
whistles.
The Viking, it will be remembered, is
clinker-built boat, no larger than an
ordinary tug. She pitches about like a
cork, and from the moment she entered
the open sea off the Norwegian coast
until she came within headland on this
ide, she was never quiet. The only
ballast aboard the ship consisted of pro-
visions. The extra clothing of the men,
with their bedding, took up very little
space. When the men were off duty
they usually went to sleep. This they
did by rolling in blanket on the deck
and without further ceremony proceeded
to enjoy natures rest. Meals were cooked
on an oil stove. Hot coffee, stews of
meat and beans, with boiled fish and
other simple food constituted their bill
of fare. These provisions were kept in
boxes and barrels which were lashed to
the sides of the ship under the tent. The
meals were served on long table down
the centre of 1.-The saloon" with rough
benches at its side,

Wheelmen are Angry,

Fhe officials of the League of American
Wheelmen are at loss to unders tand
the action of the National Cyclists Union
of England in Withholding license
from A. A. Zimmerman the American
amature champion, and unless some very
satisfactory explanations can be made
there is likely to be breach in the friend
" relations of the two organizations.
The refusal of the n. c. y. to recognize
Zimmerman as an amateur is considered
to be an affront to the L. A. W., as it is
understood that each organization shall
recognize each others credentials. There
is feeling that Zimmerman was shut
out from competing at English races be-
cause of his success in beating the Eng
ish cracks last year.

The Fair Will Open Sundays.

Chief Justice Fuller and Judges Allen
and Bum, sitting as the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago,
unanimously reversed the action Of the
Circuit Court in granting an injunction
restraining the Fair directors from open
ing the gates on Sundays. The decision
was to the effect that the act of Congress
conferring the $2,500,OO0 in souvenir
coins on condition that the Fair should
not open on Sundays, did not give the
United States Government power over
the local directors of the Fair. No fur
ther action can be taken by the Govern
ment except an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, which could not
be argued until next October.

THESE ARE DAYS OF PEACE,

Gladstone Favors Arbitration With Tho
United States.
A dispatch from London says: Mr.. w.
R. Cremer in the House of Commons,
having learned that the United States
Congress had authorized the President
to conclude treaties Of arbitration, moved
that the government open negotiations
with the view to refer all differences be-
tween the two nations to arbitrators.
Right Hon. Sir John Lubbock seconded
the motion. Mr.. Gladstone suggested a
modification of the resolution by the
substitution of the words, "that the
House of Commons, cordially sympa-
thizing with the purpose in view, hopes
that Her Majesty's Government will lend
ready cooperation to the Government
of the United States. Mr.. Gladstone
congratulated Mr.. Cremer upon his find
ing a chance to strike in behalf of
humanity. Mr.. Gladstones resolution
was substituted, and on being put to the
vote was carried. Among the listeners
to Mr.. Gladstone's speech was Ambassa-
dor Bayard.
Mr.. Cremer few years ago obtained
the signatures of 223 members of the
House of Commons to a memorial to
President Cleveland in favor of policy
of arbitration in case of any future diff
Guilty between England and the United
States. The Foreign Relations Committee
before which the memorial came, made
q recommendation 70 the Senata on those
lines.

Senator Stanford Better.

Senator Stanford, who has been i'll at
his home in San Francisco, CAL, ever
since his return from Washington some
six weeks ago, is slowly recuperating.
The trouble with the Senator is that his
hearing is very much affected, and that
he is so weak in his legs from gout as to
'ance. There is good authority for the
statement that Mr.. Stanford will not re-
turn to Washington this fall unless the
complexion of Congress is such as to
make his vote necessary to Republicans
Ito carry party questions. He has de-
|cided to resign from the Senate unless
the party leaders deem his presence
There imperative.
