SWORDFISH AND WHALE.
SIR DANIEL W113 ON.
A J■iey sea Mery eros the Partite Slope.
From The Sas Francisca Chronicle.
Venters to Monterey were entertained re-
cently by the eight of a duel between an
immense whale and a •wordlist), which
ended fatally for the linger but more de-
fenseless monster of the deep. The whale
was first seen by a party of bathers one
pleasant .fternd.00 last week, and appeared
to be enjoying himself lazily swimming
about the ray ud occasionally sending
showers of spray aloft lit. that thrown by a
powerful fountain. The presence of the
whale or some other cause seemed to trigh-
ten the small fish that abound in these
waters, and great schools pressed cher in-
shore, the waters In places near the beech
fairly alive with them, while the suttees
was kept agitated by their leaping into the
air as though seeking to escape from soma
invisible enemy.
The whale followed the schools of fish
inshore, when sudden:), there was • tremend-
ous splashing of the water. the great mam-
mal was observed ao move hurriedly hither
and thither, while the contortions of hu
body and his "usage actions convinced the
observers that he was enraged in deadly
combat with some outer monster of the
deep. It was a singular duel and at lasted
for some time. Nothing but the whale was
visible, his enemy never coming to the sur-
face or within range of those who were
watching the 'wee.
Finally the thrashing sewed, the water
became calm, and then the whale was seen
lying moticelees upon the surface of the
bay, as i1 dent. TLu continued for some
time, but after about an hour he meanest to
revive, and after lashing the water for some
time with his tail he headed for the outer
bay, where he was sub•euuenUy seen by the
aid of • glass to have resumed his motion -
leen condition.
The following morning leveret persons
starched the leech to see if they could find
any true of the previous day's combat, and
they were rewarded by discovering the deal
body of the whale high and dry on the rocks
only a abort distance from Monterey. Some
old whaler. who were among the party of
dieoovery were struck with the peculiar
unwise in which the mammal was lying. The
bodywas oonsiderable above low-water
marand the fins were extended, giving the
impression that the whale had come ashore
himself and afterward died. it appears,
according to the testimony of those versed in
such matters, that • whale dying in the
water has its fins claw to its sides, and the
position in which they were found lends
c»lor to the belief that the monster was still
alive when it came ashore.
An examination of the body revealed the
existence of several wounds on the tinder
aide which were of a character such as could
only have been inflicted by • swordfish, and
are oouelonive proof that it was a duel be-
twees these two detainee of the deep that
had been witnessed the previous afternoon.
The carats measured tweety•five feet in
length and the blubber was removed aid
fried out. Fee several days the stranded
whelp was the centre of attention for the
entire country mead about, sad amsy hun-
dreds of reeideate and teeriUM vWted it.

to the report that Great Britain has
arranged to establish a coaling station in

simple reason that such • course of action is
in strict accord with the termini a treaty
concluded I.etwen Great Britain and
Samoa in 11475*, and does not interfere with
or impair the rights "r interests of the
United States in any respect. Section N of
the British Treaty provides that Great
Britain may establish • coaling station any-
