Destructfon of seals.

Montreal, Oct. 17.-Sir Charles Tup-
per. minister of marine and fisheries,
says North Pacific seals are being
slaughtered on land, which, together
with the combined catch of f1fty-eight
vessels each season, will soon result in
their being exterminated. He has
written to England for permission to
make public the correspondence pre-
ceding the Boring Sea arbitration. The
minister of marine contends that the
documents would show that the seal
ers were in as good position as they
desired to be, and that American con-
tentions before the Paris congress are
all knocked in the head by the facts.

THE NEW BATTLESHIP.
There Appears to Re Nothing the
Matter With the Maine.

apptstES ne tAt
Matter With the Maine.
New York, Oct. 1.-THE official trial OF
the United States battleship Maine, which
took place today on Long Island sound,
promises good results, as the ship passed
through it very creditably. N. F. Palmer.
jr., representing the contractors, was very
anxious to have the trial take place out at
sea in deep water. as the Sound is too
days run showed this very plainly, as she
banked water on each side of her instead
of its going underneath.
AS soon as the Names anchor was
hoisted, she was sent along at a good rate
of speed from the entrance of New Lon
don harbor, until abreast of Watch Hill,
Conn. Here she was turned about and
headed toward the Sound. AT 1:5O
o clock, everything was in readiness for
the trial to begin and a moderate forced
draught was put on. The ship was head
ing straight into a northwestern, and the
wind was also against her. She went
along at a Is knot gait and there was
scarcely any vibration observed on board
notwithstanding the velocity with which
her machinery was, being driven
At 1:50 O'clock the log showed she was
making eight knots an hour but between
the Bartlett reef and Cornfield lightships,
a distance of eleven and one-half miles,
her time was 4minuteS. When the first
of the ten BUGS, which marked the %
mile trial course, was reached, a close
watch was kept, and the Maine traversed
the distance in one hour and "a minutes,
an ayera ge of 1886 knots an hour. Taking
into consideration the adverse winds and
tide, this is as good as Il knots, and the tn
general verdict is that she will be an 10
knot boat.
The force of the wind and the velocity
of the ship caused the spray to wash
overheard from bow to stern, and ire.
quently it went over the bridge ana pllo'
house. Captain Bunco expressed his en-
tire satisfaction with the days work, anc
so did all the officers: -,
The result of today's observation VII L
not be known for three or four days, as a
good deal of figuring will be necessary
before a report can be made.

THE WHEEL.
Bicycle Record Between Chicago
and New York

New York, Oct. 17.-Seven days. thirteen
hours and thirty-four minutes is now the
bicycle record for the northern route be-
tween Chicago and New York. Tt was
established by a. E. Smith, the letter
carrier and members of the Lake View
cycling club of Chicago, who dismounted
from his wheel in New York exactly five
mlutes after o'clock last night As he
left Chicago at 5 o'clock last Tuesday
morning, his actual time on the road was
las given above, days, 13 hours and IS
minutes, one hour being accounted for by
the difference in time between the two
cities.
When Smith arrived in New York he
was not exactly an object of beauty, nor
was he in condition TO at once head his
wheel for Chicago on his return trip.
He finished in good condition. His
clothes were torn and tattered, mute
proofs of many a tumble. The rider
struck a storm of snow rain and hail
at Westfield, n. V, and did not clear
it until he reached Amsterdam. The roads
all through this state were almost i'm
passible and from Buffalo to Pough-
lleepsie he never left the railroad ties.
At Peekskill his wheel slipped and he fell
and slid down mountain side suffering
not more serious injury than a, severe
bruise of his right leg. Only for this he
would start today on his return trip, en-
deayoring to secure record for two
thousand miles.

THEY ALL PAID TRIBUTE.
Startling Testimony Brought Out BY
the LexOw COmmittee-Iarl1hu
and the Policeman.

New York, Oct 17.-Chief Counsel
Golf continued to probe for evidences
Of blackmail at the session of the
Lexow committee today. He produced
witnesses who testified the police Off
cials were accustomed to bleed the
proprietors of soda water fountains on
the east side. Some one inquired
whether he lad discovered any line of
business that had not been compelled
to pay a tribute to the police.

I have been searching the town over

Senator O'Connor brought out the
fsct that at least 500 policemen
we're assigned to watch the buildings
OF private corporations. This service
cost the city at least 100000 annually,
and no compromising advantages were
received.
Mr.. Golf said this estimate was a low
one and that the loss to the city was
gwen greater.
/ One proprietor of a retail store ad-
united on the stand that he had chal-

Williams had given Henry Maillard.

for his truck.
Beyers compls,red and said that it

Williams said there had never been a
lady in the store except his own wife.
During the controversy Beyers had is
sued a challenge.
'And that challenge stands toady."

his testimony.
A son of Beyers told long story of
a suggestion Of Detective Dalton to
the effect that the officer told him
things would be squared If he would
give Williams a gold table in the win
dow, worth 5000. Williams did not get
the table, however.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. lit has de-
veloped in the proceedings in the United

Evanston. Wyo., Oct. 17.-ISpecial.l-
.Judge Goodwin spoke to a large audi
ence in the opera house here tonight.
He was advertised by the Republic
ans as the great apostle of silver,
and by editorials clipped from his pa
per. The Democrats advertised him.
and urged people to attend to see II he
would repudiate his former utterances,
wherein he charged that the Repub-
ncans had made an anti-silver showing
so radically and inexcusably worse
than the Democrats. The broadcast
circulation of posters containing this
quotation, and calling upon him to stay
by his record, took the breeze out of
the editors sails, and throughout his
speech he was nervous and i'll at ease.
His defense of the Republican party
on silver was weak, and fell like a
pail upon his vast audience.
Not a ripple of applause encouraged
a single sentence he uttered in behalf
of the Republican party's favoring the
white metal. Some of his anecdotes,
and they were few, were laughed at
and applauded by Republicans and
Democrats alike, and now and then
flashes of beauty, containing no argu-
ment, came in upon his use of Ian
guage; but it was rare and seemed to
have had the spirit taken out of it all
by the deadly posters containing his
own denunciation of his party.
This was to have been the banner
meeting of the Republicans here. Ev-
cry condition was favorable to it, but

dience and strike one harmonious
chord.

stand they have appointed Sir
Rivers Wilson for that position.
He is a gentleman I do not know per-
sonally. but L understand he is a very
able man who will thoroughly compre-
bend what is for the best interests OF
the company and will assist materially
in making terms with the government
and in securing a new loan on the is
sue of a new sheet of coupons
secured by the old first mortgage,
which new securities will be sold either
to the present stockholders or to oth-
ers. the old bondholders having the
