The Alabama Election.

MOBILE. Ala. Aug. 7.-Returns from
the election yesterday assure Oates
election by majority ranging any
where from so, 600 to $4,000. The south
ern part of the state is almost sJlidly
democratic while returns from north
ern counties give better promise than
in 1892. Many counties that polled a
close vote in 1892 give good majorities
for the full democratic ticket. A demo-
cratic legislature is elected, insuring
the election of democratic senator.

ship, slow in speed, but heretofore al
ways respected and honored for hel

six years in the United States navy
has been besmirched by an informer
! The Government has its official eye
opon the frigate, and she has beer
watched by customs inspectors evei
since she sailed into port Friday from
her three years cruise IN AsiatiC
waters.
There is story current that the Ian.
caster has struggled goods on board
According to the report, the boarding
officer showed Captain Mccormick a
letter from the Secretary of the
Treasury to Collector kilbreth. This
letter stated, still according to the
report, that some member of the crew
had written to Washington before the
Lancaster started from China, that
certain persons on board were going to
smuggle into the United States u guam
tity OF dutiable goods, presumably China
silk and opium. The instructions from
the Secretary to the collector were to
make a thorough search Of the ship,
Attached to the Washington letter was
a note from the Office OF the Secretary OF
the Navy to Commander Mccormick
requesting him to extend all possible aid
to the Customs authorities in the dis
charge OF their duties.
Naturally the officers of the Lancaster
were much surprised and indignant.
The captain offered every aid to afford
facility to the boarding officers, and it
is said the latter explained that 1t had
been decided to made "a complete search
of the ship tomorrow. In the mean
time he suggested that watch be kept
of all departures from the ship, and
Captain Mccormick agreed to this.
The programme for the search is that
on the arrival of the custom officers to-
morrow the entire crew of the Lancaster,
officers as well as men, will be mustered
on deck while the inspectors make an
examination of every part of the ship.
If smuggled goods are discovered in any
quantity, there will be, of course, fui

covering if possible who the men are
who have brought the staid old frigate
into bad odor.

SAN Francisco. June s.-The present
year has been the most disastrous one
ever experience in the history of seal
ing. For the past two months nearly
every steamer arriving from the Orient
has brought news of some disasters to
the sealing schooners on the Japan
coast. Up to the arrival oil the China on
Wednesday last four vessels are known
to have been lost, in three of which the
crews persisted. The news brought by
that steamer, however. caps the climax.
lll-luck has attended the fleet besides
the vessels known to have been lost. The
China reports that the schooners Mary
II. Thomas, Altoona Rather, Old San
Diego, Unga and Katie and Ann are all
missing, not one Of them having been
seen or heard of since they left port dur
ing the latter part of December, 1893
aud January, 1894. A number of the
5, aling fleet encountered a fearful storm
in April, when four were lost, aud it is
feared the six missing vessels have
shared the same fate. The season ends
in the Japan sea on the the 2jth instant,
and then all the sealing vessels will
make for Yokohama to leave their skins,
as the new regulations in Behring sta
will preclude them entering those waters
with skins on board. If nothing be heard
from the missing vessels 10y July, seal
ing men generally will concede that
they have been lost.
