Victoria, B. c., Jan. 1S-Capt. Fleet.
senior officer of the Esquimalt station,
suggests that the overdue sloop of war
Condor is no doubt sailing to Honolulu.
having used up her coal owing to the
extra labor entailed on her engines by
the severe storm in which she was
caught on the night of the Sd. Having
used up her coal and being obliged to
make sail her progress would be slower,
more especially as at this season of the
yA-lr Honolulu is not in the zone of the
trade winds. This he thinks will de-
tain the sloop of war long beyond the
time originally scheduled for her arrival
in the Hawaiian port. He points out
that it is rarely indeed that a British
man of war is swamped by a sea, no
matter how heavy the storm. They
sometimes founder, but they very rare

secure title to Cumberland island, off
the coast of Georgia which MIR. Car
negie and his sister-in-law have made
beautiful park and mid-sea home.
The fact that the Stafford heirs had any
claim to the property was discovered
by accident In the papers on file in
the case it is alleged that Robert STAFF
ford bought the island now in dispute
in 1S4S. He had $500 at that time and
went to the island to raise cotton. In
the second year of his work there he
was married. His wife was Elizabeth
Barnaby, famed as 1.-The white slave"
She was employed by a Georgia plant
er and her ancestors were white, but
she had been sold into slavery and an
action was pending at the time to Sc
cure her freedom. Robert Stafford fell
in love with her, purchased her free
dom, and made her his wife. 1t is the
descendants of this woman and Robert

CONFESSES LIABILITY.
Edison Company Will Pay Its
Share Of Subway Damages.

Boston, Jan. 1S.-A concession of liza
bility by the Edison Electric Illuminat-
ing company in the subway explosion of
March 4, 1897, in which dozen persons
were killed and scores were injured,
promises to end speedily a mass of liti-
cation for damages involving claims
aggregating nearly 81, 500, 900. Previous
ly the courts had found the Boston Gas
Light company and the Edison company
jointly liable. but the Edison company
had contested the finding. From time to
time the case has been postopend, in
view of the possibility of a settlement,
and next Monday when the damage
cases are called in court, on continu
ance, the announcement will be made
that the Edison company comedies liza
bility with the gas company. 1t Is
thought that this action will mean the
payment of at least $780, 900 damage
claims by the Edison company.
The explosion was said to have been
caused by a spark from electric light
wires igniting gas which had leaked
from the gas company's pipes into the
subway excavation at the corner of
fremont and Boylston streets.

MORE TO PAY.
Government Urged to Buy the
Church Lands In Philippines.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Secretary Root
was heard on the question of the Friar
lands in the Philippines before the
house committee on insular affairs to-
day. He said these land holdings con-
stituted one of the chief causes of dis
content among the people; they were
the hotbeds of insurrection and had
furnished Aguinaldo his chief appeal to
popular prejudice. The secretary said
the religious orders SO fully recognized
the bad condition of affairs that they
were disposed to sell and he urged that
the government take advantage of the
opportunity to remove the chief causes
of discomfort in the islands. He did not
believe condemnation proceedings would
be necessary as there were indications
that a fair price could be agreed upon.
A rough estimate of the value of the
lands, he said, was from five to seven
can money.
