WHY ENGLAND WITHDREW.
Canada Unwilling to Review the Sub
 ject of Pelag;c Sealing.

Ottawa, Oct 21.-The Canadian au- thorities have for some time been preparing for the eventuality of a conference of seal experts at Wash ington, notwithstanding the success of their protest against Great Brit aims entering into negotiations with Russia and Japan as parties thereto. Commissioner Maccun, who, with Prof. Thompson, the British expert, spent the last two seasons on the Pribyloff islands, is preparing a mass of evidence on the subject of seal life It is said here with confidence that the Canadian contention Is easily sup portable by this evidence.
 It is asserted that abundant proof has been collected on both the rock cries of St. Paul and St. George that pelagic sealers are not dependent for their August catch upon the nursing females which venture beyond the sixty mile zone in search of food for their young, and still more important, if true, is the report that the expe ts have ascertained other causes than

HOLLAND SUBMARINE BOAT.
Extensive Repairs Will Be Had Be-
 fore Another Trial.

New York, Oct 21.-The Holland submarine torpedo boat will net have another trial trip for some time. The vessel is lying at present in soft mud at the Crescent ship yards, at Eliza bethport, N. J., where a number of mechanics are kept busy making re- pairs and alterations to the interior of the craft It will be two months before the work can be completed. The hull is in good condition. There is no truth in the report that the yes sel sank at her mOorings. She was hauled up on the mud bank so that the men could work to better advan- tage
 The trouble with the boat so far as could be learned is with the second ary storage battery, which is to ba used to propel the vessel when she is completely submerged. It was found to be faulty in construction, and never worked satisfactorily. In fact when it was tested some time ago it was almost completely destroyed by being close circuited The cause of the accident was caTelessneSs on the part of some of the electricians in charge of the work when the test was made. A new battery and new motor will have to be placed in the vessel.
 It is said that when the repairs and alterations have been completed there is no doubt that the vessel will do all
 that MT. Holland claims for it.

GOVERNMENTS EXPENSES.
Cabinet Anxious to Keep Down the
 Estimates.

Washington, Oct 21.-The cabinet was in session for two hours today. Most of the time was devoted to a discussion of the financial operations of the government. This includes both receipts and expenditures The latter were the especial object of con- sideratiom, and it is the wish of the administration to keep the expendi- lures from exceeding the rece:p' S. The different heads of departments have been engaged for some time upcn the estimates for their departments, and efforts are being made to have re- auctions made wherever possible. In both the war and navy departments there is pressure for larger expendi- lures, coast dsfenses, rivers and har- bors and for increase of the navy. The recommendations of bureau of fcers in these departments have been scanned very closely and reductions will be made if found compatible with the public interest. In the other de- partment there is no urgent demand for increases. Various other depart ment matters were brought before the cabinet and several members remained after the meeting to consider them with the president

Brattnober, speaking of the prophecy that the Klondyke will produce $5O.- 100000 within the next year, said The district will probably produce five or six million dollars during tn twelve months we are now entering upon.

FUNDS FOR GEORGES CAMPAIGN

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 21-The Henry Geerge campaign fund has been swelled by contributions from Kansas populists. A dozen towns are raising funds to forward to New York. The little town of Hartford has sent $25, and will forward more. All petitions bear this heading: we believe that Henry George stands for principle, for freedom, for equal rights to all men, mot only for the citizens. of Greater New York, or the state of New York, or the United States. but for the world. Our contributions are small, from the fact that during our struggle for existence we have been compelled to give one-third of our total produc- tions to the landlord or speculatcr holding land idle; one-third to rail reads, telegraph lords, coal lords, oil lords and mineral lords, and a large part of what was left has been taken for taxes and tribute to trusts and syndicates.

 It is not generally known that there were reasons other than those ad- vanced in the diplomatic note of the foreign office for Great Britain's re- fusal to entertain the proposal of a conference including Russia and Ja- pan But the fact is that, having once admitted the principle Of an in-- terest in the question by those na- tions, Canada could not back out of a general review of the entire meth ods of pelagic sealing, apart from the necessary revision under tine Paris award, the fact being that the brand ing scheme has quite deposed the the ory that the Behring sea and Asiatic seal herds are distinct, seas branded on the Pribyloffs having been taken at sea off the Asiatic coast.

AN INSANE DOMESTIC.
Deliberate Attempt to Murd.r
 Whole Family.

Stamford, Conn, Oct 21-Lizzie Fleming, a domestic employed in the family of A. c. Dixon, made a des- perate attempt on the lives of Mir and Mrs. Dixon last night
 It appears that after the family which consists of MT. Dixon, his wife, daughter, Sadie, and her boy, who is a relative, named Leslie Dixon, had retired for the night, the girl sharp ened a small hatchet and went to the apartments occupied by MT. and Mrs Dixon
 They were asleep in bed and the girl struck Mrs. Dixon terrific blow on the forehead MT. Dixon heard the noise and involuntari1y raised his hand to his head and received the blow on his hand which severed two of the fingers.
 Then he got up and grapp1ed with the girl. The daughter, who had been awakened by the noise, came to .he aid of the father, and the two succeed ed in getting the girl down stairs, when she escaped.
 Mrs. Dixon's head was fractured in two places. She was removed to the hospital, where faint hopes are giv- en of her recovery The police found the girl under the stoop in deep stu DOT.
 While she was not able to speak the physicians were of the opinion that she knew what was being sait about her and the cause of her con- dition was the realization of the enormity of her act. She has livei in the family for the past twenty years, and while considered rathel weak minded, was considered per fectly sane. Of late, however, tht family has noticed that she acted peculiar at times.
