PROTECTING SEALS.
IL VIII Require a Big Fleet in Bertus

The Navy Department IL considering
plans for the execution OF the regulations
for the protection OF the sealing industry,
adopted by the Paris tribunal OF arbitration
last summer. At that time Il was agreed
by the United States and Great Britain.
among other things. that "the two gov
ernments shall forbid their citizens ana
subjects respectively TO kill. capture or
pursue in any manner whatever, during
the season extending from May 1 to July
81, the fur seals on the high sea in that
part OF the Pacific ocean. inclusive OF Ber-
ing sea, which is situated to the north
OF the thirty-fifth degree OF north Latitude
and east OF the one hundred and eightieth
degree OF longitude" To accomplish this
the largest feet ever detailed for police
duty will be sent into the Northern Pacific
early next spring. The area within which
1t is forbidden to hunt seals Is fully eight
times as large as Boring sea The thirty
NTH degree OF latitude strikes the Pacifc
coast about 200 miles south of San Francis
CO. and crosses the 1s0th meridian nearly
4Vp miles west. The western boundary
OF this expanse Of ocean lies along the isoth
meridian, and extends from the 35th paral-
lei northward !, 500 miles
There is at present a painful lack OF ves-
sells available for this service, and the de-
partment II somewhat perplexed at the
situation. One way of solving the problem
Is the employment of a portion OF the fleet
now AT Rio. consisting of the San Francisco.
Newark. Charleston and Detroit, shortly to
be reinforced by the New York. In the event
or the early conclusion Of the Brazilian
revolution some of these vessels Will be
sent around to the Pacific I'm the spring in
ample time for service I'm the Arctic ocean.
The Charleston was originally assigned to
the Pacific station. and Is almost certain 10
go there IL Is also probable that the New
York and the Detroit will be temporarily
assigned to the same station. provided
they are no longer needed on the Brazilian
station.
The cruiser olympia. which will be COM
missioned at San Francisco early in May
will probably make her first cruise to Ber-
ing sea Two other vessels likely TO be
Utilized for duty in those waters this sea-
son are the Mohioan and Boston, both OF
which are now at San Francisco. The Bos-
ton is undergoing repairs, but the Mohicaa
Is all ready for sea. The latter vessel may
go 20 Honolulu TO Samoa within the
next few weeks, but IL rot she is sure 10
be sent to Boring sea Another vessel likely
10 go TO the Northern Pacific is the Thetis
now a surveying expedition on Lower
California.
The command of the Pacific station A.
now held by Admiral Irwin. He is on dutV
on the Philadelphia, at Honolulu He win
retire April Is next. and leave a vacancy in
this most important command, which A. ts
now said. is most likely 10 be filled by tbs

The United States naval force at Rie

by the arrival of the cruiser New York
there last night. This morning Secretary
Herbert received a cable message to tina,

fact that the New York did not stop at any

JUSTICE FINALLY RENDERED..
Remission of ,. d. MftcheiPs Fine TO,
Spreading Disease.

Spreading Disease.
Special Correspcndence of The Evening Star
BRISTOL. TENN. Jan. IS, 1894
The legislature of Virginia has Just pass
I'd bill releasing Mr.. ]. d. Mitchell of this
place Of a fine imposed upon him several
years ago, under circumstances which de.
serve at least passing comment.
Mr.. Mitchell was making a tour through
Grsyson as drummer, and in the course
Of his travels had occasion to spend the
night at the home of Ezekiel Young, a pros
porous farmer, living near the mouth Of
wilson, on New river. A few days after
ward he broke out with measles, and the
Young family was also smitten with the
disease in aggravated form. and one Of the
family died The Youngs charged that
Mitchell had brought the measles to their
he was indicted for spreading a CONTAGIOUS
disease His attorney was detained at Mar
Ion when the case came on for trial, and
the case went by default, Mitchell being
assessed with a fine Of 81, 900 and the costs
Of the suit This verdict was given not
withstanding the fact that 1t was shown
that the measles was prevalent in the coun-
". and that the schools in the neighbor-
hood Of the Youngs had been closed on ac-
count Of the disease; and Mr.. Mitchell has
always been satisfied that instead of his
contracted it there.
Every circumstance goes to prove that
this was probably, the fact: but owing to
the absence Of his attorney, the case went
by default against him. ard the court re-
fused to set the verdict aside and grant a
new hearing. And every effort to get
hearing In the case before the courts hav-
ing failed. the last resort-an appeal for
relief to the general assembly of the state
was had. and that body has Just passed
upon It by granting the relief prayed for
in renting the fine.
There was no proof that Mitchell carried
the disease to Young's, beyond the bare
assertion Of the fact. and this backed by
the fact that they did have measles there
after Mitchell went away. 1t was not
proven that he had the disease when he
went there. or that he had been in contact
with II anywhere. In fact. he stated posi-
lively that he had not been In contact with
the disease anywhere. and did not have it
until several days after his nights stay at
foungs, and IL quite positive that he con-
fracted IL there.
On the same kind of testimony as that
which cost Mitchell this fine Of 81, 600 any
man who had happened to pass by house
where a murder should be committed in
q Gay or two afterward might be convict
60 OF murder. The legislature did wisely
IN remittfng the fne-and at the same time
administered just rebuke to the court
tnat allowed the outrageous verdict to be
recorded In the first instance.
