KING in Good Health.

LONDON. Sept. 1S.-With the arrival
of King Edward and Queen Alexandra
at Balmoral, his majesty's GONZALES
cence is officially declared complete.
The fact that the King has already in
dulged in deer stalking and is now busy
with grouse driving, coupled with the
departure of the Queen for Copenhagen
next week, indicates the confidence of
those in attendance upon him that his
health is fully restored. Indeed, the
King is enjoying better health than for
years. The yachting tour of their
majesties around the English and
Scotch coasts was a lazy, drifting
cruise, stopping at many isles hitherto
unvisited by them. Their reception
everywhere demonstrated their person
al popularity.

POACHERS
THREATENED

LONDON, September 1S.-In dis
patch from Odessa, the correspondent
of the Standard says the Russian Min
lister of Agriculture and State Domain,
NJ. YerIniioff, has announced that he
has now taken effective measures for
the suppression of the systematic
poachirg operations of Americans and
Japanese among the seal and other sea
animals on the northeastern coast of
Siberia.
Although anxious to comply with the
reiterated representations of Russia,
the Washington and Toxic govern
ments have failed to put an end to this
illicit fishing in Russian waters. NJ.
Yermiloff, continues the correspondent,
now gives formal notice that American
and japanese poachers captured within
the limits Of Russia's maritime juris-
diction ON the Siberian coast will be
liable to three months Imprisonment
and their ships and cargoes to confis-
cation. This order viii be enforced by
three fast gunboats. No discrimination
viii be made. The commanders and
crews of poaching vessels will be sub
jected to the same punishment. In
case of refusal to surrender or attempt
to escape the commanders of the Rus
sian gunboats are empowered to fire
upon and sink the sea pirates.

From the discoveries made YESTERDAY
lit seems very probable that the coun
terfeit coin unearthed on Wednesda!
was manufactured at very extensive
plant. Only American coins We're sc
made, but large number of dies were
evidently required, because of the great
variety of coins, as many as forty diff
ferent kinds having been found, each
bearing a different date.
The half dollars were of the following
dates: 1858, 1870, 1862, 1867, 1868, 1865,
1861. 1860, 1856, 1863, 1871, 1864, 1876, 1856,
1859, 1873, 1854, 1874, 1876, 1857, 1866, 1869,
1872, 1874 and 1877
The quarters were of the following
dates: 1866, 1859, 1853, 1854 1885, 1878,
1858, 1856, 1873, 1874, 1877, 1874, 1861, 1900
1857, 1892, 1888.
The counterfeit coins now in eircula-
ton can easily be detected by the most
inexperienced eye. The milling is poor,
the impression is bad, and the silver
compound from which the money was
manufactured has the appearance of
tin, though the coin seems to have the
proper ring. The lettering is blurred
somewhat, and the figures are imper-
feet The mint stamp is '.San Fran
cisco" and New Orleans.
Evidences of the general circulation
of the spurious coin came thick and
fast yesterday. Bogus half dollars and
were offered in number of
places, and in numerous instances by
Chinese. A Rapid Transit street car
conductor refused a half dollar which |
he believed was counterfeit, and the
man has been called to identify the
who rendered the bogus
coin.
The trial Of the two prisoners, HUI
Young and Lai Wing, was set by Com
missioner Gill for Monday, and the bond
or each was fixed at $4,000. Four
prominent Chinese merchants signed
he bond, but the form was not salts
actory to United States Attorney
and the men are still held in
all. G. w. Ashford and T. 1. Dillon are
ounsel for the two prisoners
