I asked him if he would write a letter statimt that the government would uphold our Miner-men in the exercise of their commercial rights. and he said that be did not think it was necessary. He bad no idea that there would be any of our vessels seized, anti so he was greatly surprised when the actual seizure was made by the Canadian authorities. I know the temper of the Canadians throughly. and I was as well satisfied that they would seize our vessels when that proclamati On was issued as I am today.

It the secretary of state had been thoroughly informed on the subject, a representation could have been made to England and a reply received by the 1st of A pi ii, before the fizb ing season commenced. and all this. difficulty averted. As it is. whatever representation is made should be in regard to that proclamation.

This was between 4 and 5 o'clock. Ile said he tried to get rid of Preller's clothing. the drawers, shirt and undershirt which were found in his trunk in New Zealand. He bad intended to throw thenLoverooard while at sea, but his trunk wali in fhe strong room of the steamer and he could not get at it. Such, in substance, was Detective McCullough's testimony unshaken.

The prosecution believes it needs a link of firmer steel in the chain of evidence. It is regarded by the State as egpecially convincing. because it would be hard to make a jury believe that a little fellow like Maxwell could administer chloroform to a strong man like Preller without Preller's censent. The previous administration of morphine, the State claims, will explain how that came to be dere. The defence did little with the detective.

They made him admit that he would lie it necessary in his business. and tried to impress on the jury that the detective and the prosecutors had been guilty of what Mr. Fauntleroy called a dastardly and cowardly niece of business. Lilt the defence did not try to break the detective down in his story of what Maxwell had confessed to him. The State thinks that the case will go to the jury the latter part of the week.

Ha bald: It is a mistake to suppose that the l'arnellite members are opposed to the consideration and acceptance of amendments to the bill. I happen to know that the reverse is the case.

The Parnellites are most anxious to facilitate Mr. Gladstone's plans.and Wiil eveu contient to the withdrawal of the bill and the substitution of a resolution if the premier desires it. It bl scarcely possible that Mr. Gladstone can satisfy Lord liartington andMr.Chatnbertain without supeorting the bill altogether, which, of course, he will not tio, and the whips on both sides are convinced that the measure will be refused a second reading. Mr.

Gladstone is quietly watching events, and is as yet undecided as to what course he will pursue in the matter of demanding a dissolution, but as a special meeting of the cabinet has been called for this week presumably to discuss this ques- tion, that point without doubt will be speedily settled. The conservatives are better prepared to enter a general parliamentary campaign than the Liberals, they having kept their electoral machinery oiled aud ready to start since last Noveiii ber. while splits have disorganized the Liberals, whose financial strength has been very much weakened by the secession of many wealthy linen who have hitherto contributed largely. This state of affairs is urged by many of Mr. Gladstone's staunchest adherents as a palpable reason why dissolution should be vostponed at least until the Liberal machine can be put in better working order.

Anderson this evening said: "The case of the Sisters is not a new one, but occurring just at this time when all is excitement it is a most unfortunate affair.

Perhaps in two cases, when the department concluded that forbearance had ceaeed to be a virtue and a tine was collected.

The case will probably be attended to and settled one way or the other in the course of a week. Meanwhile The Schooner Must Iftemain here. Of course I cannot undertake to say what the department may conclude to do under the circumstances." "General, what do you think of the course of Secretary Bayard?" "I believe that Secretary Bayard is doing all in his power to protect the rights of our fishermen, and all that any man could do under the circumstances.

and that those who have judged him hastily will yet acknowledge the wisdom of his course. The country can depend upon it. Secretary Bayard will not adopt or carry out an un-American policy." 'T hen, general, considered by itself. the seizure of the schooner Sisters is not an important matter?" "No, but as occurring at this time. it is.

as I have said, very anfortunate." A gentleman who is thoroughly posted in the fishing business said this evening: "Captain Ellis is right enough in thinking that he would have got off without much trouble if it h.til not been for the seizure of the Ella M. Doughty. His schooner was seized just to give the colonial people to understand that if they strike at our fishermen we shall strike back at the first opportunity, and then keep striking." Vice-Consul Starr. her majesty's representative here, will take action. it is understood, in the case of the sehooner Sisters only after a decision is rendered on the appeal taken from the decision of Collector Anderson to Secretary It is reported that when Captain Doughty reaches Portland.

he will he tendered a reception by the Portland Pishing Exchange. Relative to the seizure sit the Sisters, the Press will say The seizure of the schooner Sisters of Yarmouth, N. for having no manifest would ordinarily excite no attention, but as the vessel comes from a Dominion port, and is loaded with fish, just at this time it will be likely to be looked upon by the Dominion people as a species of retalliation for the seizure of the Adams and the Doughty. The proceeding therefore is liable to assume a good deal of importance. ellect of it will be that the Dominion officers will more closely scrutinize the papers of our vessels arriving at their ports, with a Alen of 'making the most of any defects which may be found.

Chairman Boyle introduced a letter from Mr. Von Briesen of New York, transmitting to the committee a copy of a letter published in the New York Times on October 19 last, touching the action or non-action of the attorney-general in the institution of a government suit against the Bell patents. The letter stated to the committee that the published communication was written for the purpose of exonerating Mr.

Finally the printed communication was ruled in by the chairman. but it was on motion afterwards withdrawn and both were admitted together. Ti.e chairman then laid before the committee an affidavit from Professor Bell denying the statements set forth in the affidavit of Mr.

HAILING CAPTAIN. Froti Gerring ratters Crow liawbor and Fre fel Gerring ratters Crow Elawbor and The anniversary meetings of the New Fpgland Woman Suffrage Association were begun last evening at Tremont Temple. Hon Frederick Douglass vas present.

The hall was crowded. The meeting opened at 7.tiO with organ prelude. after which Mrs. Lucy Stone made a long and interesting address. in which she told of the numerous wayi In which women had boon downtrodden for years, and cited many instances of their hardships as compared with the lot of man.

At the conclusion of her speech introduced Mr. Douglass, who spoke in substance ea follows: LADIES AND GENTLEMENIt iS 10IIR time since it was my privilege to address a convention of reformers in Boston. In my youthful days, when slavery was the great evil of the land and demanded the voice and vote of the humblest for its removal. it was often my lot to be a speaker on such occasions. But since the abolition of slavery and the enfranchisement of the feeedman.

both my occupation and my facility as a speaker have been considerably diminished. Yet I can truly say that it gives me great eleasuro to be again in Boston. and to stand upon this-platform and to say my word. however humbly and unskilfully it may be, for The Cause of Woman. When I consider what was aone for the slave by such WOMOli as Lucretia Mott, Lydia Maria Child, Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

Maria W. Chapman. Thankful Southwick, Lucy Stone, Abby Kelly Foster. Angelina Shrike, Elizabeth Chace and others, I not only feel it a grateful duty. but a high privilege to give my.

vn co and vote in favor of a larger sphere and a broader liberty fur the activities of woman. In can add nothing to the force and very little te the volume of argument in favor of the claims you make. I think a glance at the history of your movement is full of encouragement. 'I bough small, and apparently insignificant in its origin; though limited in its resources; though met at the beginning by a storm of derision and threatened with extinction; though powers that be, in church and state. opposed it: though the heathen raved and people imagined a vain thing.

its growth has been strong, steady and irrepressible. Those who doubt the ultimate suceess of this cause will do well to remember, not merely what remains to be done, but what has alreadY been accomplished. Whether intentional or accidental, this movement for the rights of women has been conducted with remarkable wisdom. It has observed the expediency of doing one thing at a time and everything in its order. Forty years ago there were not thirty Occupations Opeu to Woman; now there are more than three hundred open to her.

In the labor of the mind, wonaan's quckness of perception, delicacy of touch and agility of movement will give her superior facility in doing more of the needed work of the world. But now I come loam point. the one insisted upon by this convention, and which constituies the all-commanding claim set up by woman, namely; the equal right to participate with man in the government in which she lives. Comddering the letig and universal subjection of woman to the legal and political newer of man. It is not strange that men for the moment stand aghast at the magnitude of this demand.

It falls upon their ears like a trumpet call for the barricade of domestic rebellion to surrender. Plainly enough, woman has a heavy grievance in being denied the exercise of the elective franchise. She is taxed without representation, tried without a jury of her peers, governed without her consent, and punished for violating laws she has had no hand in making. In concluding, Mr. Douglass spoke of the excuse made that women could not tight and could not bear arms for their country.

and cited instances where women have stood with their brothers and fathers and fought for life and liberty. During the speech Mr Douglass was applauded many times, and at the conclusion he held a re. ception on the platform and received the well wishes of many of his old friends and acquaintances. oday at 10.30 o'clock the annual report or the association will be read by Mrs. J.

To the order wherever found. greeting: Acting under authority vested in me.

as general master workreau. I elo hereby call the General Assembly together hi special session. The causes leading to the calling of the special session are: 1. The rapidly increasing membership requires changes in the laws, which tho general executive board have no authority to make. 2.

The laws in relation to the government of boycotting are wholly inadequate to compel obedience on the part of assemblitill that believe in boycotting for every offence, whether great or small. 3. The laws in relation to strikes do not cover the ground necessary to give the general executive board power to interfere in such matters until after a strike has been inaugurated. 4. ihe order has become involved in culties with trade societiee.

and an effort is being made to create a rupture between these societies am! No Knights of Labor. These and other matters winch will help to perfect the discipline of the order will require the careful deliberation and coed judgmene of the members of the General Assembly. I believe that the most critical period of the order's history has been reached, and do not feel that it would be best for the order to allow any more time to elapse belere calling the representative men together, so that we may devise means whereby the machinery of the order may be improved. The present executive board cannot attend to oneahird of the work that pours in upon them. and some means of distributing their work must be thought of and put into practice.

The call promises that the precedent established at the special session held in Philadelphia on June 6. 1878, will allow all representatives who served at the session in Hamilton. Ont. last October. to sit as representatives in the Cleveland convention; that no election shall be held until the delegates to the regular session are chosen.

and ends: '-I need the wise counsel and action of the order at large through its representatives. Did I not feel that it was absolutely necessary to call the session. I would not take this step. We must place our order squarely before the world on several issues in such a way that no misunderstanding can possibly arise in the Mr. rowder2y Has Great napes.

After he had taken the oath. Deputy Collector Smith asked for his manifest. "I haven't any." replied Captain Ellis. Mr. Smith expreed his sorrow that the captain should have been caught, but told him nothing could be clone in his case; that he must, in the usual course of the law, pay his tine.

"How asked the captain. "Five hundred dollars." replied "My God, the little schooner won't bring that." said the captain. as he stood there a picture of distress. Nothing could be done for him. and Surveyor Bradbury sent Inspector How to take formal charge of the schooner.

The next revenue billto reduce the nuinber of internal revenue officerscaused a contest. hut was also laid aside by the I by a vote of 136 against 86, and the reline itt ee resumed its session, and took uo the "oleomargarine" bill. Mr.

Scott of Pennsylvania approved the measure. The bill simply raised the former to the plane of fair and honest competition. Mr. Hammond of Georgia argued that the bill as a measure to suppress the manufacture of oleomargarine was unconstitutional. It was protection run mad.

Mr. Reagan of Texas said it was very plain, both from the language of the bill and from the arguments made in the support. that the purpose of the bill was not revenue but exclusion. It Was legislation in favor of the people who made butter and against wlio made oleomargarine. Iliscock (New York) said that the dairy interests were being disastrously affeeted by the manufacture of imitation compounds.

Something must be done to save he farmer from the present ruinous cempetitiun vith cheap imitations of butter. and to protect the people from the injurieus effects consequent on a consumption of the vile compounds.

WASHINGTos, May 24.The State Department has decided to contest the seizure of the American fislieruieu Adams. Doughty and Julia and Jennie in the Canadian courts and to aid the owners of these and other vessels that may be seized to recover their property. George W. Biddle of Philadelphia and William Putnam of Portland, Me have been retained by the United States to represent the interests of the owners of the seized vessels. one objection is made by persons familiar with the history of the fisheries controversy to this action.

One of the best authorities on international law in Washington and a gentleman who was identified with the I fall tax commission said today: "I think Mr. Bayard has made a mistake in taking any notice of the Canadian courts. The more dignified course, I think, Nvould have been to ignore the Dominion authorities and judicial tribunals entirely and negotiate for the rights of our fishermen with Great Britain. the treaty-making power." Secretary Bayard has left Washington. to be absent two days, and Assistant Secretary Porter is at the head of the State Department.

In conversation with your correspondent tonight lie said: "The report that the State Department has made a foriiial demand upon the British minister for the surrender of the fishing vessels seized by the Canadian authorities is untrue. No demands have been made. The employment of counsel to assist the owners of the seized vessels was made alter due deliberation as to the wisest course for the government to pursue. We hope to be able to convince the Canadian courts that the customs officers of the Dominion acted without authority when they seized these vessels. If we gain our point there one big obstacle is removed from the path of future treaty negotiations.

It we fail nothing is lost, and while tha cases are being tried before the courts the department will continue its diplomatic correspondence with the British government for an adjudication favorable to American fishermen." A gentleman NVII0 is in the confidence of Secretary Bayard, and who is familiar with the steps that have been taken to prevent outrage upon American fishermen in Canadian waters, said tonight: "There appears to be no serious obstacle in the way of a harmonious and satisfactory settlement of the whole question. The only danger Lies in the Apprehension. that temper may get the best of law. If the New England people possess themselves for a little time in patience. they will win the fight.

The only Aanger is they may by some hot-headed act arouse the ill-Will of the Canadians and English and, of course, render a settlement of the controversy more difficult. Information was received here this evening that the Nova Scotia schooner Sisters bad been seized at Portland. No information to this effect had been received at the State Department up to 10 o'clock tonight. Governor Dingley of Maine tonight said that he had no infotmation as to the seizure of any Nova Scotia schooner at Portland, and was inclined to believe the story a canard. "They would not be so silly as to seize any sOlooner for retaliation," said the governor.

"If any Canadian vessel has been seized or detained at Portland you may rbst assured it has been for some violation of local customs laws." When asked about the condition of the negotiations of the State Department upon the subject of the fishery difficulties. Mr. Dingley said he could uot toll. as he had not seen the secretary for several days. "When 1 last saw Mr.

Bayard." he continued, "he outlined to mo the position he intended to assume, and it was in every way satisfactory, for it enunciated the principles as to commercial privileges which we have been contending for. The trouble now is. however, that England has an -excuse for delay. She can reasonably claim that the matter is now under consideration by the Admiralty Court of Canada. and until she receives a full statement of all the facts she cannot act.

Now this Admiralty Court may linger along in its investigation for months. and in the meantime the fishing season is passing and our fishermen are suffering. That is just what the Canadians want. They want to force us into having a commission. Now a commission is of no use unless we are going to make a bargain.

Tbe Canadians want to make a bargain, but we do not. The tune for us to have made our representations to Englandfor we have to treat with her entirelywas immediately after the issue of the proclamation of The Canadian Minister of marine on the fifth of March. That proclamation was received here within a week afterwards. and I went to the State Depattment, at the request of Secretary Bayard, to consult with him on the matter. I pointed out to 1nm that hen was the time to make representation to England.

and that the proclamation furnished ample ground for him to do so. Ho did not seem to think that there would be any difficulty. as be believed our 1 AND 8 PER CT. PER ANN. DR.

The rtOWS of the seizure spread rapidly and caused great excitement.

The fishermen regarded it as a move for retaliation On the Dominion authorities and were more or less pleased by it. The Sisters is the The Worst-Looking Craft afloat. It would seem to be an impossibility for her to be navigated from Yarmouth, N. here if she encountered a storm. O.

B. Whitten, the secretary of the Portland Fishing Exchange, was seen by your correspondent. He said: "Coming at this time the seizure of the Sisters will do good. She comes from a port so near Digby that the fellows up there will bear of it. The matter having been referred to Secretary Bayard he will be obliged to take notice of Captain Ellis said "This is pretty rough on me, being my first trip as master.

"It's had for us poor fellowsbad for both sides. We just want to make a living and we are seized." "What do you propoSe to do?" "Stay here until I get orders to board the schooner or eise do something." "I want to say one thing more." said Captain Ellis: "If it hadn't been for this excitement and the seizure of the Ella M. Doughty ra been let alone. My poor little schooner was seized because of this trouble at Dighy." Collector Anderson has Made -Up a Statement of the facts connected with the seizure of the schooner Sisters, and has sent the same to Secretary Manning.

HADLICK. Bankruptcy Also Discussed by the Grave and Reverend. WASHINGTON. May a number of pension bills had been passed by the Senate, Mr. Gibson addressed the Senate on the subject of open executive, sessions.

Mr. Hoar, alluding to a remark made Mr. Gibson as to the Senate's treatment of nominations, asked Mr. Gibson whether the Senate or any member of it claimed to treat the public offices as matters of patronage. 'Mr.

Gibson did not know that he could name any individual senator who treated them so. but the history of the Senate showed that many of the leading senators of past times considered that their wishes ought to be decisive with the executive; and when their wishes hail not been complied with senators had felt FO humiliated that some Of them, at a period pot very remote from this, had resigned their waves in the Senate. Mr. Teller was confident that for the last ten years no considerable number of senators had entertained the views aboutpatroliage to which Mr. Gibson had referred.

Ile (Mr. Teller) had never heard it asserted in that tune by any Republican that a senator was entitled to control the offices in his own State. Ile thought that the members of the house were apt to have lucre inituenee in controlling the offices, because the departments could not always know the applicants for office, and were in the habit of applying for information to the member of t)i. House representing the applicant's district. The Senate later took uu the bankruptcy bill.

Air. Plumb opposed the bill as in the interest of great cities like New York. and against the interest of small dealers throughout the country. lie regarded it as a most vicious bill. Mr.lioar defended the bill.

The Cigarmakers' Union met in New Era Hall, the Independent Order of Freight Men were in session in Wadman Hall. the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners in Preble Hall, and the Operative Tailors in Codman Hall. All these meetings were private. There was a large meting of Union No. 33 of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America at the Columbia rink last night.

It was a secret session. The recent strike was discussed and plans suggested for setting the men at work as soon as possible. Out of about 3000 journeymen in the city, only 000 are still out- The statement of the Master Builders' Association as to there being a large number of journeymen trout other cities ready to work is denied by the men at the rink. 'the masons are holding no meetings. but still stand together firm on their original demand for nine hours.

"Our prospects." said Chairman Woreesta "were never brighter. Our men are going to work every day, and of course those at work contribute towards the support of the men who are Out" Many bosses have offered extravagant wages and make overtures to our men, but as long as the nine-hour demand is not conceded there will be no back-down on our part There is every probability of the epora- tive tailors being out again soon.
