Warned Schooner Returns to Port
Townsend.
PORT TOWNSEND, June 19.-The seal
ing schooner George II. White. the first
sealer to return, returned tonight from
Sitka in obedience to orders from Captain
Munger of the revenue cutter Corwin,
who boarded her off Middleton Island.
The White had eighty-two skins, and re-
ports exceedingly stormy weather along
the Alaska coast this year. Seals are
very scarce. Captain Chenowith of the
White says under the present regula-
tions vessels are better protected under
the British flag than the American colors.
The penalty under the British law is
forfeiture or a fine not exceeding $500.
while the American laws provide abso-
lutte forfeiture. He says that if vessel
has medium catch she can we'll afford
to pay fine of 1000, and then realize a
handsome profit. Ali American sealers
will return, and the British schooners
propose to discharge their white crews,
man their vessels with Indians and GO to
Behring Sea. 1t appears under these
conditions the British sealers have some
kind of assurance that they will be
amply protected.

BRITISH EMBAssADoR TO BERLIN.
Report That He Has rendered His
Resi0uatiou.

ISoSInns1C1Ons
BERLIN, June 19.-It is reported that
Sir Edward Malet, British ambassador,
has sent his resignation to his Govern
ment in London, stating as the reason for
his wish to retire that it is impossible for
him to longer successfully represent the
interests of England at the court of the
Kaiser. Owing to the recent acts of the
British Cabinet the confidence of the
Emperor has been lost 1t is said that the
Kaiser has bitterly reproached the Brit
ish Cabinet for taking unfair advantage
of his straightforwardness in dealing
with England, and also accused Sir Ed
ward MaIet with having cOuntenanced
the English Cabinets duplicity. Sir Ed
ward Malet, it is asserted, protested to
the Kaiser against the accusation, declar-
ing that he was much surprised at the
Kaiser.
The Emperor then, according to report,
informed Sir Edward that England could
thank herself if henceforth he should re-
verse the friendly policy of Germany and
return to Prince Bismarck's distrust of
rything English.
LONDON, June 19-The report tele-
graphed from Berlin of the resignation of
Sir Edward Malet. British Ilmbassador
~ Germany, cannot be confirmed at the
Foreign Office. 1t is surmised that some
trouble has arisen over the AngloBel

day for the whole amount, as the propo-
sition to coin silver involves troublesome
complications and opposition. However,
that section of the bill is left subject to
change, so that if any plan involving the
use of silver seems practicable it can be
adopted.

DENVER, June 19.-The Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe road, following the
policy it has adopted during all big con-
ventions of the past three years, tonight
made another big slash at passenger rates
to the National Convention League of

Denver was reduced from S27 so to $40 IS;
from S. Lous to SIT 25 from so so, and
from Missouri points to $40 75 from SIS.
This cut of the Santa Fe. it is said. is
due to the fact that two of the Western
lines were making contracts under the
figures recently agreed upon. The League
Executive Committee is confident this
reduction will be the means of bringing a
large attendance to the convention.

WAR DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, June 1Stn.
SiT: I transmit herewith, for your IN
formation, copy of the findings and
opinion Of the Court of Inquiry which
convened at the Navy Yard, League Is
land, Pa, on the 5th instant, in pursu-
ance of the departments order of the 4th
ldem., for the purpose of inquiring into
the damage to the bottom of the United
States steamship Colum ola, by ground
ing. the eXteut OF such damage, and the
time and place of the grounding of said
vessel by which the damage referred to
was caused. The proceedings, findings
and opinion OF the court have to-day been
approved. The department regrets that
it is compelled to fully concur in the
opinion OF the court that it was the duty
OF the commanding officer to have been
on the bridge when the vessel was pass
ing Bulk Shoal, and it was also his duty
to have caused the speed of the vessel to
be reduced at that time. The speed over
the bar where the injury is found to have
occurred ought to have been slower, and
especially when the fact is considered
that with the water she carried in Ter
double bottom at the time there was very
small margin for safety. In view, how
ever, of the recommendation of the court
that no further proceedings be had the
matter viii be regarded as closed with
your acknowledgment of the receipt of
this communication.
