it with a unanimous roice. It will
be passed at the regular meeting
Wednesday evening. The council

cil ordered tae committee on fire,

KICHES IN A HULK.
The Purchaser of the Antietam
Finds Her a Bonanza.
Philadelphia Record.
1 he purchaser of the old sloop-i.:-wtr
Antietam, lying at the
League Island Navy Yard, has dis-
cuvirtd that he has a much richer
prize than he at first suspected,
ilthougli rival bidders lroin all
pails of the United States forced
him to pay the Government ."537,
000 at a puhiic s-ale beiore he could
jet proces.-iou ot the hulk.
The Aniietam ws built on the
ilajVworlv system common in the
ravv Department yetirj ago, at he
Id navy yard picis, dot the
property of the IVonsyivacia mii
roati Comjjanj, and when the yard
wus abandoned the ADtictaoi was
towed to the back channel at
League island, where ihe had been
rotting for fourteen year?, with her
lower hold lull ot water. No ouc
really knew what there was in her,
although the records at the Navy
Department gave a slight clew ef
tvhut ha'l betu stowed in her hold
i uce her airiva. at thu islaud.
When the order came fwr the
abandonment ot the old yard, four
teen years ago, many huge an c hers
weighing many tons, ingots at
brass, tin and other materials, and
fathems cf chains, which cost the
Government thousands of dollars,
were hurriedly gathtred up and
thrown into the hold of the Antie
tain, waere they have lain unuis
turned until taken out by the
recent purchaser.
Although it is not accurately
ki own hew much metal has been
tiken ont ef bci hulk, the cavy
yard officials say that for three
weeks wagon afttr wagon has beea
Tarrying away loads of material
trotn her. which has been so d in
this cit 7 at high prices, realizing
not less than $50,000. It is pro
posed to cut a dith to the back
channel, and an attempt will b"
made to tow the vel out into
deep water and tu Cow bay. Long

and the copper in her hull saved.

A COMI'KOMISE PREDICTED.
Tripartite Control ofth Waters of
ISohring Sea.
WAsniKGTON. Aug. 3. Belief
sere is quite general that tae nego
tiations lor the settlement cf the
Behriug sea controversy will be a
tripartite arrangement instead of a
simp! conference between England
and the United States. The fact
that the sea in question is bounded
on the west by Russiuu territory
brings the Muicovite government
into the matter, and will result ia
all probability in an arrangement
hetttceu tho United States, Russia
and England for joint contro. of
the sealing grounds.
It seems te be a belief iu well in
formed diplomatic circles that the
state department, anticipating cn-
tieversy over the right to control
Behriag sea, has already communi
cated with the legations, and that
by the time Sir Julian Pauncefote
returns te Washington, arrange
ments will be perfected for a meet-
of the three most interested t ev
ernmente. in which an agreement
will be suggested for a division of
the renons.bility of protecting tne
breading grounds ef the seals, Ii
is well understood that England it
as much interested as the Unitel
States in preventing poachers rran
iadiscriuiioately slaughtering the
valaabie animals, and while Rus
sian commercial interests in the
North western waters are not to be
compared with these of either ef
the other governments, she win oe
ready and willing tojoia with ootft
Iit the purpose.
Meantime there will be ao modi
fication of the policy of the Unite!
States, and revenae cutters will
continue to seize ships of every
nationality which may be louixl ia
the forbidden waters with seals oa
beard.
