Bar Harbor's welcome for her white
winged visitors will be a warm one.
The Pirate of Portland Harbor would
make a thrilling title for story ana
the basis of the story has been found in
that fair locality. He makes his home
on Basket Isle, a name suggestive Of
domesticity, but in this instance a mis-
nomer for the man dWells there in a
little old house accompanied only 10y
his son and hired man. He secures 4
somewhat uncertain livelihood at lob
STEERING and usually has a quarrel on
with all others engaged in the same
business. He is anything but hospit-
able it is said and only the other day
is accused of driving away with threats
of. shooting and brandishing of a rlL.
a party of pieniekere who sought to
land on the island. But his inhos-
apitalfty appears to have assumed a
violent form the other day when he at
tackled two young lobster fishermen
whom he accused, as they say unjustly,
of tampering with his traps.
-
1t was q thrilling encounter accord
ing to the story of those attacked.
They say that when he took his rifle,
from the bottom of hts boat they began
to- pull for the shore with might ami
main. They We're not more than 20 feet
from him when he first took up the
rifle. He began at once to shoot, the
rifle being a magazine gun, capable of
firing seven shots consecutively with
out reloading, as he informed them be-
fore he began to use it. The first bull
let from the rifle passed between the
side of the dory and the blade of the
oar. The second whistled by the head
of one, Very near as he believes BY the
time these two shots had been fired the
two fishermen had pulled the dory
some distance, so the pirate" put
down his rifle and began to pull in pu--
suit of them. Finding that he was not
gaining very fast he stopped rowing
and took up the gun again At this
the two young men stopped rowing also
and crouched in the bottom of their
dory, SO that it was not possible to
draw bead on them. Then the pur-
suer, Dyer by name, put down his rifle
and began rowing in pursuit again.
The young men also took their oars
and rowed. And when their pursuer
tried to use his rifle they once more
dropped oars and got into the bottom
of the dory. These tactics were re-
peated for some time, the fishermen
say until he desisted from the pursuit.
The next day two deputy sheriifs
mustered up courage and went down
and arrested him.

Washington, October 6.-Minister Du-
puy has not returned from Lenox and
his representative, Senior Du Bose, who
has beeh here of late. has left the city,
so that the Spanish authorities are prac-
tically unrepresented. The legation on
Connecticut avenue, which has been

retirement He has stated to officials
here that he would submit his resigna-

A CLASH LIKELY
Between Mayor Harrison, Of Chicago
and the U. S. Government Over the
Lake Front Control.

Chicago, October 6-Mayor Harri.
son ordered stopped the dumping Of
dredgings from the river along the
lake shore BETWEEN Sixteenth and
Thirty-second streets. The order ap-
plies both to the Illinois Central Rail-
way Company, who, it is reported is
filling in land near Sixteenth street
on permit from the Secretary OF
War, and to the contractors who have
a contract from the Federal govern
ment for dredging the river Both
the dredging companies and the Hi
nois Central railway claim the right
to dump the river dredgings along the
lake shore under the permit of the
Secretary of War, and clash between
the local authorities and the represen-
tatives of the Federal government may
result. The mayor claims the city
has jurisdiction over the lake for q
distance of eight miles from the shore
line for sanitary purposes. The dredg-
ings, it is claimed, are being washed
out to the cribs and polluting the
city's water supply. The mayor de-
clares fatty that the Illinois Central
railway will not be permitted to fur
Their fill in the lake with the dredg-
ings if it takes every man in the police
department to enforce his order.

AGAINST HON E RULE
The Queen Takes Pains to Have Her
Opposition to the Plan Brought to
Public Notice.

New York, October "a copyright
cablegram from London to the Evening
Post says: No little talk has been
aroused in political circles to-day over
passages in Lord Tennyson's biography,
which nearly all the reviewers purposely
or accidentally overlooked. These pas
sages, il letters Letween Lord Jenny

liar interest and importantance TO the
disclosure, suggesting either her belief
that Irish home rule is dead beyond re-
call, though Mr.. John Morley has this
week again nailed the home rule colors
to the Liberal mast, or else her fixed
determination to withhold her accep-
lance of any such constitutional change.
Mr.. Gladstone was the Queens prime
minister in June 1885. and by the consti-
= fidences, yet she was at this time writ
ing to Lord Tennyson on political topics
in letter which is withheld, but which
as Lord Tennysons reply suggests, was in
opposition to Mr.. Gladstones views.
Again in April, 1886. two days after Mr..
Gladstone again as the Queens first min
lister, introduced the home rule bill in the
Commons. the Queen writes:
II cannot in this letter allude to poll
tics, but l know what your feelings must
be-" which Lord Tennyson accepts in his
reply as reference to ''the disastrous
policy of the day" and declares that he
would die rather than see the rebellious
loyalists Of Ulster repressed.
This evidence of the Queen steapping
outside Of her constitutional advisers to
condemn the Irish cause and possibly en-
barrass hen ministers. will certainly cause
much pain in Ireland, If 1t does not Gre

questions whether it is discreet to publish

ENGLAND OBJECTS.
Will Not Enter q Conference With
Russia and Japan.
A Claim That These Countries Are
Interested in Seals to a Degree
Emitting Them to Representation.
England's Action Dictated by
Canada.

London, October 6.-The officials of
the British Foreign Office have comu-
nicated to United States Ambassador
Hay the final decision that the gov
eminent of Great Britain refuse to take
any part in any sealing conference
with representatives of Russia and ia
pan. The British Government, how
ever, asserts it's willingness to confer
with the United States alone, but it
insists that Russia and Japan are not
interested in the Bering Sea seals to
degreee emitting them to representa-
ton at the conference. The British
Government does not suggest any date
for conference with the United States,
and it is thought probable in London
that Great Britain's withdrawal will re-
suit in two meetings, one between the
United States, Russia and Japan and
the other between the United States,
Great Britain and Canada
1t cannot be too strongly reiterated
that the withdrawal of Great Britain
from the Washington conference is due
to Canada's insistence and that until
the Canadian officials informed the for
eign office here of Canadas objections
to meeting Russia and Japan, out of
fear of being outvoted, Great Britain
fully intended to enter the conference
But for Col. Hays representations
the first announcement of Great Brit
aims unwillingness to take part in the
conference would have been final, but
the United States Ambassador so
plainly pointed out the unusual char
acter of Great Britain's change of mind
at so late day that some of the For
eign Officials decided to reopen the
question, and have been endeavoring,
but unsuccesfully, to secure Canada's
acquiescence.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
Ambassador to the United States, also
used his influence in a spirit of friend
illness to the United States in efforts
to secure the adherence of Great Brit
ain to the original programme
The diplomats here considered that
Great Britain's course was not courte-
GUS to Russia and Japan.

have proof that so per cent. of the
skins sold by the Canadian companies

Chicago, October 6.-Fanned by a
strong wind from the west, fire
which broke out in the Dexter Park
Pavilion at the Union Stock Yards,
this afternoon, spread to the district
between Halstead street and Union
avenue, and Forty-third and Forty
fifth streets, demolishing business

the stock yards, was burned to death.

Havana. October Elm spite of Cap
tain-General Weyler's prohibition, a
notable demonstration took place here
to-day in his honor. The Bourse was
closed, as were also the principal
stores and manufactures. All the
main streets were gaily decorated.
The various professions united at Cen.
trail Park, and moved together to the
plaza in front of the Captain Generals
palace, where as many as 10000 peo-
pie were gathered. Several bands dis
coursed patriotic music. The rtaza
and thoroughfares leading into it were
densely crowded. 4 number of depu-
tations went to the palace, where Cap
tain-General Weyler received them
They assured him that it was the de-
sire of all the loyal inhabitants of the
island that he should continue at the
head of the government and carry out
the campaign against the insurgents.
They also expressed confidence that
the Madrid government was inspired
with altogether too high designs for
the welfare of the country to with
draw the Industrious chief who had
subjugated the instruction"
Captain-General Weyler, after
thanking the Populations for their as
suranceS, said:
Il believe the war should be ended
with war here as everywhere else, and
not with shameful dealings, disgrace
full to any nation, and all the more so
in view Of the terrible condition of
the rebels. l have followed the policy
Of the illustrious Canovas. l would
like to please those who are to-day
demonstrating in my honor by re-
naming in Cuba, but the delicate posi-
ton in which I have been placed has
compelled me to-day to request the
government to dispose of my position
in whatever way it may think con-
venient"
The entire demonstration was order
ly and is officially described as with
out political color"
The chiefs of the volunteers visited
Captain-General Weyler at the palace
to-day and expressed their desire that
he should remain at the head of the
government in Cuba. Subsequently
they cabled to the cabinet at Madrid
requesting that the Captain-General
be retained at the head of the Spanish
forces in the island as well as in con-
troll of it's civil affairs.
General Weyler, in acknowledging
their expressions of confidence, said
that the criticism and attacks made
upon his military conduct were with
out foundation, as it had always been
his plan to finish war with war, in
accordance to the customs Of all
European nations and even Of the
United States. General Sherman, he
declared, while on the march. de,
stroyed all the resources of the South
that lay in his path, and the Washing
ton government finished the war with
war, and not with treaty.
