The controversy between tho United States and the British Governments grow- ing out of tho capture of certain British vessels engaged in seal catching in Behring's Sea is still being agitated. Secretary Bayard was to-day shown a Btatemout recently telegraphed from Ottawa to the effect that certain instructions to the United States District Judge and District Attorney in Alaska from Attorney -General Garland, promul- gated (in January 2btb, 1887, have not been earriod out to this day. The Attorney- Goneral's instructions on tho subject were as follows : 1 am intitrucUMl by thu rrnsldeut to iiiBtruct you tu (liHcoutinue all prDcoodliiRS in the matter of the Kwizuru of the Hribiah vosseU Caniliuo, Onward aud Tliurntoit, and to dincliargv all vosHcU now btild Huder hucIi Huizure and rultiase all persons that luay bu under arruMt in ci>u- U4)€lion thurowith. (Si^uud) A. H. GiUiLASn, Atturntiy-deuoral. It is further stated that Judge Dawson issued an onlur to the marshal to release the vessels, but afterwards withdrew it, and tho vessels are still beached at Oun- alaska, while the seal skins found upon them wore sent to San Prancisco. The Secretary, after reading carefully the article referred to, said ho could not beheve an officer of the Govern - ment, located at Alaska or any other point, would wilfully disregard an order issued uiK>n the authority of the President, based upon the laws of our country, and therefore there must bo a mistake in tlie statement telegraphed from Ottawa. He then wont on to say that as soon as tho international point growing out of the cap- ture of the British sealers was brought to his attention, be promptly consulted Attor- ney-Ueneral Oarlandand from himlsariiod the legal points in the case. Ther« are â- evoral law questions involved, wbiuh can only bo decided by tho courts after due deliberation. In the meantime the vessels and crews are not detained by the U'nited States authorities, and the owners can have them if they will go or send after them. The vessels in question aro deckless boats, or fishing smacks, of but little value, which probably accounts for the lack of inclina- tion on the part of their owners to go after them. They aro beached in a rough, rude region, about 200 miles from any settle- ment, and thoir owners probably do not oonsider them worth going after. One of the main points which led to the discon- tinuance of the proceedings with regard to those vessels was their trilling value, and up to the present time the United States has not been asked to pay a â- ingle cent of damagoe. Tho (jues- tion growing out of tho catching of seals is the most important one the United States has to deal with in this connection, and while it ia the pur[K>so of the Adminis- tration to defend tho right of American citizens in all parts of the world, it is also desirable to know and respect tho law on tho subject. Heal catching isa valuable industry, in which more than 13,000 per- sona are actively engaged, and the Alaska Seal Company is doubtless anxious to pre- serve its rights according to its understand- ing of tho contracts it has with tho United States and Busaia. This company pays so much per skin for every seal killed, and its contract, which terminates in IH'JO, is for twenty years. Under the terms of the contract they are permitted to kill seal on two islands only, and it is probatly their desire that the sealskin market shall not be overstocked. This company naturally exerts some intluence in Alaska, and it may bu that they were instrumental in raising this luestion with a view of having it disiioBod of. Sinoe the three smaller ves- sels were seized larger ships have been drawn into the controversy, and the whole subject will bo ouiisidere<l together. There has been no tinneoeeaary delay so far as the Stato Department knows, and the case ia now awaiting its turn in tho oonrti. AFTKK KMIN IIKY. Stanler Well and I'uiblng; Rapidly For- wardâ€"Only Met by MKtuml Uimoultles of Travel. A Bt. Paul do Loanda cable says : Ac- cording to the last news received at Boma from the Upper Congo Stanley was pushing forward, and the only diffioultioa he met with wore the natural obstacles of the country. About July 25th tho expedition had ascended the Aruwhimi to thetlovatod country belonging to tho Mabodi district. Tho river becoming too narrow, they left the rafts, and tho men for several days had to carry a double burden of provisions. The steel whaleboat was carried past the narrows and again launched. Stanley cal- culated that upon arriving at the summit of tho tablelands giving shai>e to tho basin of tho Aruwhimi, the expedition would halt two days for a rest and would estab- lish a camp there, to be garrisoned by twenty men with a European officer. The districts traversed were tranquil, aud little difficulty was experienced in obtaining provisions from the natives. The progress of the expedition averaged twenty kilo- metres daily. Tippoo Tib, in his last message, wrote that he was still at his post at Stanley Falls, awaiting reinforcements. Ho had gained the good-will of several neighboring chiefs. Owing te the disturbed state of the country Tipi>oo Tib could not, as ho had agreed to, organize a revictual- ling force to despatch direct to Albert Nyanza, but he intended to do so as soon as possible. Disquiet continues between Stanley Falls and tho confluence of the Aruwhimi and tho Congo, and many vil- lages have been pillaged. It is believed that the garrison which Stanley left at Yambunya has been forced to interfere to maintain order in the noighborhood. A RKMARKAULK CASE. Tramtrorinatlou of a Yuunc Olrl Into an Old Woumii. A Cleveland, O., dospatch says : Mary Harmon, daughter of a farmer, was engaged to be married to Jacob Kberlein, who followed the Harmons from Pennsylvania a short time ago. About six weeks ago the young couple came to the city. One uf the young man's friends worked in one of the electric light establishments, and they went to see the machinery. While passing through the shop Miss Harmon received a shock of electricity and fell to the tloor. In a few minutes she recovered sufficiently to be removed from the place, and waa taken to her home. Medical aid was summoned. For foor days the girl lay paralyzed. Then she regained the use of her limbs, but immediately began to lose flesh. The hair on the left sido of her head turned gray and began falling out. After four weeks she was able to be about and able to attend to ino«t' xif her house- hold duties, but in that time she had been transformed from a young, handsome girl into a feeble old woman. Her form, which had been plump and rounded, is thin and bent, and the skin on her face and body is dry and wrinkled. Her voice is harsh and cracked, and no ono to look at her would imagine that she was less than GO years of age. The physicians claim that the electric current communicated directly with the principal nerves of the spine and loft sido uf the head, and that the shock almost destroyed her vitality. OBOaSED THE STYX. A Uealh In the Koyal Familyâ€" How Glad- stone Lost His Ilreakfaat. A London cablegram says : Mr. Laboa- chere, M. P., in this week's Truth records the following : There waa another death in tho Royal Family last week. Poor Noble, the Queen's favorite collie, passed away full of years. Noble got so many luxuries forced upon him in conseqneiioe of his being high in royal favor that his decease is without doubt due to the exalted position he occupied. He was the Q ueeu's inseparable companion when walking and was often favored with a seat iu her car- riage. The Queen regrets the loss of her favorite all tho more keenly because he was in ono sense a relic of the late lamented John Brown, who was responsible for Noble's early training and who taught him that alphabet of all pious dogs, namely, how to behave himself indoors. In politics Noble was a strong Conservative, for it is recorded of him that he once stole Mr. Gladstone's breakfast. Mr. Gladstone, who waa at that time Prime Minister, waa on an official fisit to the vjueen at Osborne. Ho was to leave for London immediately after his breakfast, which had been pre- pared for him. in the sitting room set apart for his use. This room communicated with his bedroom. On Mr. Gladstone's opening the intervening folding-doora, ho was startled to see the Queen's pet quietly trotting ofiF with a mutton chop in his mouth. With praiseworthy economy the royal servants bad only sent up one chop, and as there was no time to cook another the Prime Minister had to breakfast on toast and butter. CIII.O OFORMKU A.NUROHUED. An Old Woman Wnylmld In Ottawa and Rellev<-d uf $1,000. An Ottawa despatch says : Mrs. Mullens, an old woman 75 years of age, was chloro- formed on Theodore street about 7 o'clock last evening' and robbed of 91,000 she had drawn from tho savings bonk to take to Scotland, whither sho ex|)ecte<l to go in a few days. She was proceeding along Theodore street alone when a buggy with three men in it drove up tsherand alighted near her. One of thorn offered to aoo her home, but she declined. Tho men then spoke together in French, and one of them put a handerchief to her face and held it there till sho lost consoiousnesa and did not recover it for several hours, when some of her friends found her lying in a field near her own bouse. She is in a dangerous condition and is not expected to live. Hho says tho men had thoir faces blacked. They were evidently well aoiuainted with her and her movements. No duo of tho ruffians has yet been found. WTTB A MAO BNOINEEB. A Fireman's Exrltlnc Ride on tlie Wabash Koad. A Des Moines, la., despatch says : Fire- man Koberts, of the Wabash road, arrived yesterday on his train, telling a thrill- ing story of his experience with a mad engi- neer. When the train drew out of this place Tuesday night Kngineer Botsworth appeared all right, but before they had gone far Koberts noticed that bis compan- ion acted (jueerly. At Harvey he should have stopped for water, and the fireman backed the train down to the proper place while the engineer acted in a dazed manner. Once on the rood again, Botsworth began to travel faster, until the train was run- ning 50 miles an hour. Then Koberts realized that Botsworth was deranged, and just in time grasped the lever and saved the train from going through an open switch. Faster flew the engine, Botsworth standing by with a vacant look, and as they thundered through Bacon the maniac gave a yell aud started to spring from the cab window. The watchful fireman caught him by the legs. While he balanoOl him on the window ledge he managed, with his foot, to stop tho train. The conductor helped get Botsworth back to the baggage car, where he was carefully guarded until tho train reached Ottumwa, when he was handed over to the authorities there. It is belived to be paralysis of the brain that ails him. PRKFEB8 BRITISH BULB. The Nizam of Hyderabad's Gift for the r Defence of the Indian Fronter. A London cable says : His Highness the Nizam of Hyderabad has addressed a letter to the Indian Office which is subjected to great congratulations in English official circles. The Nizam says in the ovtaet of his letter that he has for some time noticed that the Indian revenue has shown but little increase, while the expenditures have been steadily gaining. He finds that these expenditures have boon steadily increased by the necessity of expending large sums for improved defence of the Indian frontier against the advance of Russia and Central Asia. He says in tbia letter that he believes that entire India benefits from these measures, and be there- fore as the oldest ally of the English in India deems it necessary to show in some open way that the interests of all the inhabitants of India, British and native, are identical in this matter of frontier defence against Kassian aggression. He therefore offers the English Government a free gift of £200,000 annually for a period of two years for the purpose of strengthen- ing English resources along the line of de- fences of the northwest frontier. The Timet editorially speaks of this contri- bution and says that it is absolutely with- out precedent in Indian history of any such step being taken in time of peace, and that it is significant of the great distrust of the East Asian potentates against Russia. The Nizam is the foremost Mohammedan potentate in the En^ish quarter of Asia, and in the substantial attribute of power he is superior to the Shah of Persia. ;^ A GIKL UURGLAK. VnUl Cheese for Manchester, A London cable says : Tho Co-operative AVholesalo Society of Manchester, an Influential association, discuasad at its Annual meeting a proposal to build or rent * oheeso factory in Ontario, to supply the Manchester market. Tho society's last year's importations amount in value to £l,12f>. The proposition was fully discussed and strongly supported. Tho discussion was ultimately adjourned {or a year.

A Detroit despatch says : The Marriage liicense Law went into effect yesterday and caused n lot of trouble to ministers and con- tracting parties. A number of weddings had been set in tho Catholic churches at 8 o'clock ypsterday morning, and the County Clerk's office did not open till It o'clock. Tho liooiibes for these marriages had to bo made out before breakfast. 'Fowards noon a Canadian couple came to the clerk's office and called for a Uoenao, having made the journey here from an interior Cana- dian point on puri)OBe to escape the mar- riage law of the Dominion. They were terribly disappointed at learning that they could not obtain a license, the law provid- ing that licenacs must be issued in the county where ono of tho parties resides. The would-bo groom called attention to tho fact that nothing was said about foreigners and suggested that the provision (juoted re- ferred only to residents of Michigan. Tho clerk was in doubt and refused tho license, but telegraphed a statement of the case to tho Attorney-General for his opinion, which haa not been received. The Canadians iniiat go back home disconsolate. The law IS believed to be a good thing, as it will pre- vent many runaway and hasty marriages and will also furnish reliable data for vital statistics. She Succeasfully Conkeals Uer Sex She Confeeaes In Court. A Princeton) Md., despatch says: Five burglars were aaotenced to the peniten- tiary yesterday. One of them astonished tho court by announcing that the name Charles Kelly, which was read in tho indictment, ought to be Clara King, and that she was in male attire. She said she was 22 years old, had been thrown on the world helpless and alone ; that she took to male attire a year to get along better, and had thus far escaped detection.

An Akron, O., telegram says : Washing- ton Reichard and William Snyder yester- day while chopping trees at New Portage opened a log in which they discovered two shot bags fall of gold and silver coin, he- aides a roll of bills containing not less than 95,000. The biUs were badly moulded. Tho men at first kept quiet about their treasure trove, which amounts to folly 910,000, but were so happy over their sudden fortune that they went to town and bought grand suits of clothes throughout, and then returned to New Portage, a coal mining and manufacturing village, aud set up drinks until the population of the place was drunk almost to a man. The source of the money becoming known, older citizens recalled the fact that about fifteen years ago Jacob Trackbaoh, a miser, died at that place. He waa sup- posed to be wealthy, having done a big business in land speculation. After his diath his house and land were turned over to find bis cash, but all without avail. It is now claimed that this tree bad been the miser's treasury. The tree was out down to-day, and about six feet from the gronnd a gooil-sized hole was foand which gave evidence of a plug having rotted in it. The silver dollars rolled out when the log was opened, and the treasure which had for years been searched for was laid bsfore the eyes of poor and now almost crazy men. CAUGHT AT MALINGERING. A Very Artful Convict Finds BU In the Prison DcM;tor. A Jackson, Mich., despatch says : LMi M. Brott, a State Prison convict, sentenced a year ago to three years for larceny, began seven months ago to deivelop symptoms o{ paralysis He would suddenly fall to the ground while at work and could not eat for long periods, all of whioh ended by his taking to his bed. The muscles of his face became rigid, the eyes fixed and he oeased to speak or eat only as food was fed him with a spoon. He was apparently deaf and could not see. Physicians from all parts of the State examined him and all pronoonced bis malady paralysis. Prison Physician Williams, however, has been satisfied all along thai Brott was feigning all his symp- toms, but at the same time he deemed it nearly impossible for him to do so. The doctor yesterday determined to play a new card. He called the attendants into the hospital and told them, in the presence of Brott, that the case was a pecnliar one and that the convict could not Uve beyond a few days, anyway, and that the next day he should proceed to chloroform Brott, saw the skull and see what the disease was. The doctor then left and very shortly Brott began to move, and calling the hos- pital attendant to him, he told that official that he had been shamming from the start in order to get a pardon, and did this for sympathy. Brott was rooted out of bed and was put to work to-day in the paint shop. Dr. Williams says he has heard of one similar case in this country. A Fariunr's PeoiiUar Hardnhlp. A Columbus, O., despatch says : James Leslie, a fanner of Ada, has called tho at- tention of the State Board of Health to a disease which he has, and which has been pronounced to be glanders by the local physicians, with the result that his neigh- bors and relatives have as completely ostracized him as if ho were a leiier. He cannot even sell his farm. What Came uf Palling a Tooth. A case of a somewhat remarkable charac- ter is at the present time in the London Temperance Hospital, nnder the pare of Dr. K. J. Lee. A girl, aged 15, had the last molar tooth in the lower jaw on the right side removed about six weeks ago. No amosthetio was administered. She was in perfect health at the time. Half an hour after the operation she began to yawn, and has continued to do so since. Ono yawn succeeds another without interruption and with an interval of two or three seconds. Galvanism had been tried with- out effect and other remedies previous to admission into the hospital. Three days afterward the yawning changed to sneezing and recently she has suffered from con- stant and rapidly succeeding fits of sneez- ing, each of which paroxysms appears to begin with a yawn. She soema to have no power of controlling herself, or only to a very slight extent, and if she attempts to do BO the next sneeze is more violent. A Great AfHurnce of Bluenose*. There are 100,000 '• bluenoses" from the Maritime Provinces of Canada in this country, against 778,664 in the Provinces themselves. As a matter of fact there are more Canadians from these Provinces now living in this country than the added popu- lation of the provincial towns of Halifax, St. John, Portland, Charlottetown and Frederictou. Speaking of this tho St. John Telegraph says: "These are startling facts. How is this drain of our population to be checked ? We have tried confederation for that purpose and it has failed. We have tried protection and it haa but aggravated the evil. We have tried building the Pacific Railway and other achemes, but without checking this drain of our maritime life blood. Is it not time we tried reciprocity ?" â€" .Y<ir I'ur* Tribune. TRAVBLLINO MADE EAST. TheHaKnlflcent Can In Which Preeldeat and Mrs. Cleveland Travel. A Washington despatch says : The special train which ia conveying the Presi- dent and Mrs. Cleveland throDgh the west and south is a marvel of tasteful elegance and seems to lack nothing which money could purchase or human ingenuity devise and construct to make travelling comforta- ble. Its three Pullman cars are so con- nected as to form one continuona car, traversable from end to end without open- ing a door or suffering exposure to the weather. The private quarters of the Pre- sident and Mrs. Cleveland are in Mr. Pullman's private car, which contains a parlor, bedroom, dressing-room and a com- modious " observatory," the walls of the latter being almost entirely of plate glass. This was the rear car till after the train passed Baltimore, affording its occupants from the observatory and the wide safety- railed platform behind it an unobstracted view of the country. The middle car is in general features patterned after the fami- liar Pullman sleeper model, but embodies in its details all the later improvements made by Mr. Pullman. The first car con- tains the smoking-room, library, barber- shop and bath-room. Koom ia found in corners invisible to the passengers for an engine and dynamo which are to furnish electricity for lighting the train and ringing ita bells and for tho cooking range and entire outfit of a first-class kitchen. BeeplDK Apples. An English periodical says that coal ashes have proved a valuable substance in which to pack apples for long keeping. The ashes are thoroughly sifted, so as to give a soft material, and the fruit is then placed in alternating layers with the ashes. There appears to be one great advantage in the use of this material when kept fresh from tho fire â€" the absence of all dampness. It absorbs any moisture of the apples tending to decay. By using plenty, changes in temperature are avoided, and the outer cold may be excluded, and freezing pre- vented. Eggs placed on end may be safely packed in layers in the ashes.

When Oakland, California, gave the Central Pacific Rail- road Company the right of way through its streets the grant was made on tho express condition that faro should not bo charged within the city limits. The company has always acted up to this condition, even to Varylac Ideas of Politeneae. Well, there are different ideas of polite- ness.
