Pedigree ef the American ComudistdePere
-Tho AlaelKa Plidee
A Wachingtoff despatch says : The
following is the pedigree of the gentlemen
appointed by the President on the Fishery
CAmmieeion :
Mr, James Burrill Angell was or at
Scituate, R.L, in 1829, and is son of
Joseph E. Angell, a distinguished writer on
'maritime law. He graduated at Brown
University and subsequently became Pro-
, fessor of Modern Languages there. Pram
that position he went to edit the Providence
Journal, which he did for six years. Then
he became President of the University of
Vermont, and in 1871 President of the
University of Michigan. He has since re-
signed that office, He is a member of the
Board of Regents of the Smithsonian In-
stitute. In 1880-81 he was United States
Minister to China.
Mr. W. L. Putnam is a Maine lawyer
who has been attorney for the United
States in all the fisheries disputes, and is
thoroughly versed in the American side of
the dispute.
Secretary Bayard comes of a family of
statesmen and lawyers. He is in his 60th
year, and was admitted to the bar in 1851,
after having spent some years in com-
mercial pursuits. In 1809 he was elected
to the U. S. Senate from his native State,
Delaware, and since then, until his selec-
tion as President Cleveland's Secretary of
State, has been one of the leading Demo-
crats in the body. He is reputed to be a
i
man of broad views and s a thorough
American.
THE BEHRING'S SEA TROUBLES.
The controversy between the United
States and the British Governments grow-
ing out of the capture of certain British
vessels engaged in seal catching in
Behring's Sea is still being agitated.
_ Secretary Bayard was to -day shown a
. statement recently telegraphed from
Ottawa to the effect that certain
• instructions to the United States District
Judge and Distrkt Attorney in Alaska
from Attorney -General Garland, promul-
gated on January,26th, 1887, have not been
• oarried out to this day. The Attorney.
General's instructions on the subject were
as follows:
1 am instructed by the President to instruct
you to discontinue all proceedings in the matter
of the solzure of the British vessels Caroline,
Onward and Thornton, and to discharge all
vessels now held under such seizure and release
all persons that may be under arrest in con-
nection therewith. (Signed) A. H. GARLAND,
Attorney -General.
It is further stated that Judge Dawson
issued an order to the marshal to release
the vessels, but afterwards withdrew it,
and the vessels are still beached at Oun-
alaaka, while the seal skins found upon
them were sent to San Francisco.
The Secretary, after reading carefully
the article referred to, said he could
not believe an officer of the Govern.
ment, located at Alaska or any other
point,. would wilfully disregard an order
issuel upon the authority of the President,
based upon the laws of our country, and
therefore there must be a mistake in the
staternent telegraphed from Ottawa. He
then went on to say that as soon as the
international point growing out of the cap-
ture of the British sealers was brought .to
his attention, he promptly consulted Attor-
ney -General Garland and from him learned
the legal points in the ease. There are
Several law questions involved, which can
only be decided by the courts after due
deliberation. In the ineantime the vessels
and crews are not detained by the United
States authorities, and the owners can have
them if theywill go or send after them.
i
The vessels n question are 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 are beached in a rough, rude
region, about 200 miles fromany settle-
ment, and their owners probably do not
consider them worth going after. One of
the inain points which led to the discon-
tinuance of the proceedings with regard to
these vessels was their trifling value, and
np to the present time the United States
has not been asked to pay a
single cent of damages. The ques-
tion growing out of the catahing of
seals is the most important one the United
States has to deal with in this connection,
and while it is the purpose of the Adminis-
* tratien to, defend the right of American
oitizens in all parts of the world, it is
• also desirable to knovir and respect the law
on the subject. Seal catching is a valuable
industry, in which more than 13,000 per.
• awns are actively engaged, and the Alaska
Seal Company is doubtless anxious to pre-
serve its rights according to ite understand-
ing of the contracts it has with the United
States and Russia. This company pays so
much per skin for every seal killed, and its
.contract, which terminates in 1890, is for
twenty years. Under the terms of the
„contract they are permitted to kill seal on
two islands only, ,and it is probably their
desire that the seal -skin market shall not
be overstocked. This company naturally
exerts some influence in Alaska, and it may
be that they were instrumental in raising
this question with a view of having it
disposed of. Since the three smaller ves-
',Eels were seized larger ships have been
drawn into the controversy, and the whole
subject will he considered together. There
has been no unnecessary delay so far as the
State Department knows, and the case is
sow awaiting its turn in the courts.
Cheese for Manchester.
A London cable says : The Cooperative
Wholesale Sooiety of Manchester, an
influential association, discussed at its
annual meeting a proposal to build or rent
a cheese factory in Ontario, to supply the
Manchester market. The society's last
year's importations amount in value to
21,126. The proposition was fully
discussed and strongly supported.
The discuseion was ultimately adjourned
for a year:

twenty men with a European offiper, the
districts traversed were tranquil, and 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.
He had gained the good -will of several
neighboring chiefs. Owing te thcadisturbea
state of the country Tippoo Tib could not,
as he had agreed to, organize a revictual-
ling force to despatch direct to Albert
Nyanza, but he intended to do ao as soon
as possible. Disquiet continues between
Stanley Falls and the confluence of the
Aruwhimi and the 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 neighborhood.
A REMAlEtHABLE CASE.
Transformation of a Young Girl Into an
01d Woman.
A Cleveland, 0., despatch says: Mary
Harmon, daughter of a fernier, was engaged
to be married to Jacob Eberlein, who
followed the Harmons from Pennsylvania
a short time ago. About six weeks ago the
young couple came to the city. One of 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 floor.
In a few minutes she recovered sufficiently
to be removed from the place, and was
taken to her home. Medical aid was
summoned. For four days the girl lay
paralyzed. Then she regained the use of
her limbs, but immediately began to lose
flesh. The hair on the left side of her
head turned gray and began falling ont.
After four weeks the was able to be about
and able to attend to most et 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 oracked, and no one to look at her
would imagine that she was less than 60
years of age. The physicians claim that
the electric current communicated directly
with the principal nerves' of the spine and
left side of the head, and that the s1oek
almost destroyed her vitality.

WITH A MAD ENGINEER.
-A Fireman's Exciting R- ide on the Wabash
Road. , •
A Des Moines, despatohasys : Fire-
man Roberts, of the Wabash road, arrived
yesterday on his train, telling a thrill-
ing story of hia experiencewith a mad engi-
neer. When the train drew out of this
place Tuesday night Engineer Botsworth
appeared all right, • but before they had -
gone far Roberts noticed that his compan.
ion acted queerly. 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 road again, .Botsworth began
to travel faster, until the train was run-
ning 50 mild an hour. Then Roberts
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 and started to spring from the
cab window. The watchful fireman caught
him by the legs. While he balanced him
on the window ledge he managed, with his
feet, to stop the train. The conductor
helped get Botsworth back to the baggage
oar, where he was carefully guarded 'until
the train reached Ottumwa, when he was
handed over to the authorities there. It is
belived to be paralysis of the brain that
ails him.
