NINE PRISONERS BREAK JAIL.


LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. 26.-Some time
during Saturday night three prisoners ss-
oaped from the Lancaster county jail, and
there are slim prospects Of their capture,
as their flight was not discovered until 9
o'clock yesterday morning, and the fugi-
tives, who are in citizens dress, have o
long start. Their names are John Ma
honey, Edward Jones and Samuel Smith,
all strangers In this locality, who were
awaiting trial for robblng the home Of
Mrs. Sarah Rutt In Drumore township,
this county, on Sept 10. BY means of
hook, lever and saw, which they made
from their iron bedsteads, they succeeded
In cutting hole in the wood floor of their
cell sufficiently large for the passage of
mans body There is space between
this floor and the ceiling Of the cell below.
and In this the men. working with infinite
patience, succeeded In reaching the outer
prison wall. The vast quantity Of dirt
and debris found under the prisoners beds
showed that they must have been ut work
on the job for several days.

THE PELAGIC SEALERS,
Their Further Operations VIII Threaten
the determination of tho Seals.

the Extsrmi nation Of tho Seals.
WASHINGTON, Oct. a8.-Ths expert COM
mission which was appointed by direction
OF congress to visit the seal islands and
make scientific inquiry into the condi-
tion of the seal herds of the north Pacific
and Behrlng sea has returned to this
country, and their report Is now nearly
completed, awaiting only some figures
showing the catch of pelagic sealsrs this
past season. The United States commits.
sioners, Messrs Jordan, Lucas and Stej.
neger, were accompanied by o British
commission, composed of Messrs. Darcy,
Thomson and McCoun, but while these
gentlemen pursued their inquiries in COM
pany, and frequently compared notes, the
two commissions will make independent
reports to their respective governments,
and there can be no joint action.
On one point of the utmost Importance
the United States and British commits
siOners appear to be In agreement, namely,
that without reference to the causes which
have brought the seal herds to thoir pres
ent alarmingly depleted condition tho fur
ther operations Of pslagio sealsrs will
prove disastrous and threaten the exter-
mination of the seals. This Is a most Inn
portant concession on the part Of the
British, as In the correspondence which
led up to the reference of the question to
these expert commissions Lord Salisbury's
contention has been that the seal pirates
inflicted little or no damage upon the
herds compared with the losses sustained
through the annual killing Of seals on the
Pribyloff islands by the North American
Seal company.
1t Is true that the Canadian and British
experts were inclined to the belief that the
present condition of the herds was in a
large measure chargeable to the operations
Of the seal company in 1889 and prior
years, when they were permitted to kill as
many as 100000 seals annually on tho
islands. As the commissions will report
independently the nature Of the remedy to
be recommended cannot be known yet
Tho American commissioners would favor
a total suspension of pelagic sealing, II
possible, and while it Is hardly probable
that the British would be willing to con-
cede this much, 1t is believed that they
may be disposed to recommend further re-
strictions upon pelagic sealing.
