Colonel Breckenridge Negotiated
With a Coiored Woman.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Judge Bradley's
admoniton reduced the attendance at the
Breckinridge trial to-day to the thinncst
audience yet gathered. The defense made
an unexpected move, calling Miss Pollard
to the stand and questioning her about the
birth of the second child. which she said
was born at noon, February g. 1888.
The testimony during the forenoon was
confined principally to efforts on the part
of the defense to break down the tesli-
mony Of the plaintiff as to her expe efence
with various founding asylums, the
matrons of those institutions being called
for the purpose, and then the defense
rested.
Al the afternoon session the wife of the
former principal Of the Wesleyan Semi.
nary testified as to the impossibility of
anything improper occurring in the par
lors of tnat institution. and Mary Yancey
told how she had seen in the possession of
Miss Pollard the work-basket which had
belonged to the first wife of Colonel
Breckenridge. She related further that
Colonel Breckinridge had tried to hire her

LONDON. April 5.-Sir Charles Dixie
presided to-day at meeting of the men,
bers of the Colonial party of the House of
Commons. Among those present was the
Hon. Hugh NJ. Nelson. Prime Minister of
Queensland. He made a speech dealing
with the question of a Pacific cable, urging
that nothing would bind closer together
the empire than the cable to Aus rala
He also maintained that the mail route to
Australia by wav of Canada ought to be
given imperial support.
A long letter was received from gentle
man who for fifty years has been resi-

the triple control of the Samoan ISLANDS
has failed, aud urges the ann exation of the
group by Great Britain. After debating
the question the meeting resolved that in
view Of the Importance of British intsrests
IN Samoa the imperial Government should
1t an early moment consider the serious
situation.
Private advices received from Samoa are
to the effect that seventeen chiefs were
summoned before Chief Jusrlca Ide and
obliged to withdraw their complaints
against the Government The chiefs, how
ever, stuck to their protest against dis
armiug the natives, which was strongly
resented. The trial of ALPHA and other
chiefs of the Aana tribe ended February
2. The court pronounced a sentence of
two years IMPRISONMENT at hard labor
against ALPHA and $50 to 500 against the
other chiefs.

DEFENDING IT'S TITLE.
Government Will Fight for the

The House Judiciary Committee
Makes Report Against the
Southern Pacific.

WASHINGTON, April Representative
Bowers has finally won his hard fight be-
fore the House Judiciary Committee for
settlers on Southern California lands.
The Committee on judiciary, to whom
was referred the House joint resolution,
to-day submitted the following report:
Many thousands Of acres of LAND were
granted to the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company in California and elsewhere
along the line of that road, and certain
conditions were imposed upon the company
in order to perfect its title to these lands.
Since August, 1887, the Interior Depart
ment has held that these conditions were
not complied with by that company, and
that the lands were forfeited TO the Gov
ernment Acting upon this ruling of the
department hundreds of tracts have been
sold to actual settlers, who have entered
upon the lands and made valuable and
lasting improvements. These settlers
lands. as we'll as all vacant lands in the
same category, are still claimed by the
railroad company, and it has instituted
suit against some of The settlers to oust
them from their possession. The Govern
ment having sold and patented land TO
these settlers, and being largely interested
in the result of these suits. your commit
tee believes that the Government should
intervene in at least one of the suits and
defend its title. 1t is therefore recon-
mended that the accompanying resolution
be passed as substitute:
Resolved 5y the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentdtiues, That In order 10 obtain proper
construction of the acts of Congress of July 81.
1866, and March 3. 1871, concerning grants of
lands in California TO the Southern clic Rail
road Company, SO far as said grants relate to
Indemnity lands, and in order to determine The
rights of the United States to lands within the
Indemnity limits OF said grants, the United
States Attorney for the Southern District OF
California is authorized to intervene on behalf
of the United States in one or more Of the suits
now pending, or which may be brought In said
district Involving the rights 10 such indemnity
lands as test case, and such suit or suits may
be appealed TO the Circuit Court OF Appeals and
10 the United States Supreme Court. as in other
cases.

American Objection to the British
Sealing Bill.

Sealing Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-Some disap-
pointment has been expressed by public
men interested in the Bering Sea arbitra-
ton because of the Inclusion in the British
bill of a clause exempting from its operation
vessels that have cleared for the seal
waters before the PRONUNCIATION of the
law. It has been asserted that more than
fifty sealing vessels have already cleared,
and beyond doubt the entire fleet, profit
ing by the hint conveyed, may clear from
port before the law is duly proclaimed in
the expectation Of taking full cargo of
skins before they can be overtaken and
served with notice to stop hunting. OF
course, if this were permitted, the results
of the arbitration would be nullified for
the season, the slaughter of seals would
be immense and permanently disastrous
and he state of affairs would be even
worse than last year, when under the re-
.trainlng influences of the modus vivendi,
the sealing vessels captured about 100, 900
skins.
But the Canadian sealers are likely to
be sadly mistaken If they proceed upon
the theory that the British law will gov
ern the action of our cruisers. OF course
it will be the guide for the British war
ships. but the failure of the British act 20
fully meat the spirit of the arbitration will
not prevent the United States from carry
ing that agreement out according to the
provisions of our own act. and the Cana
dian sealing craft caught in forbidden
waters by American cruisers will be
seized, notice or no notice.

OBJECTION To PROTECTION.
THE BILL PASSES THE COMMONS.
Nevertheless Its Features Are Not
Altogether Satisfactory to the
American Government.

LONDON. April 8. = Replying to Sir
George Baden-Powell to-day in the House
of Commons, Mr.. Sydney Buxton said the
Canadian Government generally agreed
with that of Great Britain as TO the Bering
Sea trouble, but the Canadian Government
objected to some of the details of the bill.
Sir Charles Russell then moved the second
reading of the bill, dwelling on the fact
that the position taken by the late Lord
Iddesleigh on behalf of Great Britain had
been constantly adhered to since. Sir
Charles afterward proceeded to justify
the Governments decision TO submit the
Bering Sea question to arbitration. Sir
Charles declared thu the award esta blished
the claim that British subjects had been
injured by seizures of their vessels and he
took the opportunity to say that President
Cleveland had not been slow to recognize
that claim.
Mr.. Balfour said the course of the Gov
eminent seemed wise. 1t had not lost a
single moment in moving the adoption OF
bill TO carry out Great Britain's obiga-
tions, and in d DING this act of International
justice he and his colleagues would give
their hearty support.
Sir George Baden-POwell strongly OBJ
jected TO the treaty. Some of the rela-
tions, he declared, were ridiculous, while.
at the same time. many important points
were not touched. Fur seals, lie added.
could not be protected unless all modes of
slaughter were covered by the treaty.
Sealing vessels could fly the flags of
nations other than those to which they be-
longed and thus escape the jurisdiction of
Great Brit ain and the United States. The
breeding grounds OF the fur seals belong
to Russia and Japan, and were entirely
gnOred. Sir George concluded by declar-
ing that he intended to endeavor TO secure
modification of the bill now in the
House
Sir Richard Webster, formerly Attor-
ney-General. who, with Sir Charles Rus
sell, appeared as counsel for Great Britain
before the tribunal of arbitration, said Sir
George Baden Powell did not represent
the opinion of the opposition. lie did not
think the protection of the fur seals would
be objected to. 1t was a great mistake to
argae that the treaty gave Great Britain
the show and the United States the
substance. He added that he was able to
inform the House that the American bill
had been passed by the Senate and house
of Representatives. and would now 20 to
President Cleveland. He added that the
American bill was on the same lines as the
one now before the House of Commons.
The treaty was a distinct advance in the
settlement of disputes. He would always
remember his own association with the
arbitration with the greatest pride. When
Sir Richard had finished the bill was put
ON its second reading and passed. The
announcement of the vote caused pro-
loDged cheering.

1T Is AN OUTLAW.
The Whisky Trust Has Been Put
Upon Its Defense.


CHICAGO. April 5.-Judge Gibbons to-
lay sustained the demurrers filed by At
torney- General Maloney to the pleas of
the whisky trust in the quo warranto pro-
ceedings. The pleas set up generally that
there was no unlawful bnation, as
charged in the information, and asked that
the quo warranto be dismissed. To this
the Attorney General demurred, raising
the issue that the pleas were not sufficient,
and that the defendant, an alleged trust,
should be compelled to answer more fully.
Judge Gibbons sustained the demurrer,
holding the pleas insufficient, and will give
the defendant further time to plead.
In the course of his opinion Judge Glib
bons said: "It appears without contradic-
tion that this defendant corporation has

posse concluded the engagement with the
mob which murdered Chief Engineer Pad
dock yesterday afternoon and landed the
leaders and over 100 strikers in the County
Jail everything quieled down Immediately
and the reports from every point in the
region at the close to-day show that the
lawlesS hordes have generally been subju-
gated. The strikers are still making
threats of breaking into the Jail and set
ting those imprisoned free.
Work at the coke plants to-day was con-
fined to the same number running yester-
day. Very few attempts were made by
the strikers to drive the workmen out.
Reports received late tonight show that
the strikers are disbanding at every point,
and the men appear completely subdued.
The Fayette Commiss oners Will apply
to the courts to hold an extra session of
court at once to try the strikers on the va
rious charges against them. This action is
necessary because of the crowded condi-

fined there.
