The financial condition of the pope is

Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 20. It will be re
membered that a short time ago word
was received that two vessels, . com
manded respectfully by Dan and Alex
ander McLean, natives of Cape Breton,
had been seized and the captains made
prisoners off the Copper islands for seal
in Bhering sea. The friends of the two
captives appealed to the Dominnion
government to secure their release, and
the minister of marine promised to look
into the matter, and through the British
authorities draw the attention of the
Russian government to a breach of. the
neutrality laws, should it be found that
the McLeanes sailed in a Canadian ves
sel, and had retained allegance to the
British Crown. Tonight a telegram
from the collector of customs at Victoria
B. C, states the McLeans were sailing
American vessels, and it was reported
they had become American citizens.
There is confirmation given tp the latter
statement by facts showing that only
naturalized citizens of the United States
can sail American vessels. The Ameri
can relatives of the McLeans will now'
seek the assistance of the United States
government to secure their release.

Valparaiso cablegram says : ' There is
a mingled feeling of savage rejoicing at

fatuated citizens who. would have de
lighted to rend him limb from limb for
the loner list of i-rnplties for which thev
hold him responsible. Frenzied crowds
march- through all the streets, shouting '
songs of triumph over the death of their
former ruler. It is the general belief 1
that .the death of Balmaceda will hasten
the .restoration of peace throughout
Chili.
