VICTORIA, B. G.. Oct. l6.--Clear evi-

shown to be untrue. Hunters OF the
raiding schooner Toye No. 2 which ap-
peared off st. Paul Island two days
before the raid went to the captain
with the ultimatum that unless he per-
mitted them to 60 ashore and club
seals on the rookery, they would refuse
to work and compel him to return. The
master agreed Further discussion took
place as to the division Of prospective
spoils and knives were drawn. At mid
night a boat was lowered with the oar
| locks muffied and sent in, the vessel be-
ing but a mile from the rookery in the
fog. Four other boats followed and in
two hours 1872 seals had been slaugh-
tered and brought on board the schoon-
er. Had the sealers been satisfied they
could have escaped, but another raid
was decided upon, the boats going in
the second time at a. m. At o'clock
the fog lifted and those on board sight
ed the guard coming. Warning shots
were fred, but the raiders were too
busy skinning seals to notice and on
/ ly when the guards came close did they
sight the natives Then they succeeded
in getting only one boat out in which
four men sought to get TO the vessel.
One Meada, seaman, was shot through
i the breast, and died. Two Others were
/ wounded The body the the dead man
was taken in salt to Japan and landed

predicted by attorneys on

The jury has yet to hear from Attor-

ter the defense had closed its case with
the submission Of single document,
the decree of the Supreme Court of the
State declaring the defendant mot
guilty. in contempt proceedings in 1900

never had been an actual cessation Of

HEARST CONDEMNED.
Plicy Criticised by Kings County Pol
iticians.

NEW YORK. Oct, l8,--A special
meeting Of the Democratic General
Committee Of Kings county ratified the
nominations made on the state and To-.
cal tickets tonight. Senator McCarren,
who offered resolution of endorsement,
denounced the head of the ticket, who,
he said, had bolted the ticket in this
county. Never in his recollection had
such situation confronted the party,
as in this campaign. The spectacle Of a
leader refusing to recognize a ticket
was a novel one. It was an insult to
every Democrat in the county and they
would be less than human If they did
not feel a spirit Of resentment. He
called on all voters to resent what ne
termed an unjust villifcation of re-
spective candidates" McCarren con-
cluded at length in bitter denuncla-
tio nof Hearst, who, he declared, was
trying to disrupt the Democratic party
in the States Of California and Illinois.
The. Independence League was also
roundly condemned by the speaker who
styled it body organized 'for the pur-
pose of Matchmaking the Democratic
party.a A motion that the committee
express their approval Of the attitude
of Senator McCarren was adopted with
rising vote.

HoosER PROPERTY
Sold Tuesday to L. Yonts
For $500.

Hon. Polk Cansler, as agent, sold
the Hooser property Tuesday at
public auction. The sale was made
for a division and the property had
been divided into 8 lots and was at
first sold in that way, bringing
$500. 1t was then offered as a
whole and brought $780, Mr.. L.
Yonts becoming the purchaser.
The property embraces an entire
square fronting on 4th street. Be
ing close to the business part of the
city it would be a fine investment
if covered with cottages that would
rent for $12 to $l5 per month, but
what Mr.. Yonts' intentions are we
cannot say.
