Atchisox, It?., March 25. A dis
patch from the Missouri Pacific coun
try in the northwestern part of the
state, says that the prairie fires have
leen stopped, but a heavy wind still
prevails. At Stockton the town wan

efforts
So far as can be learned, no lives
were lost. The burnt district covers
an area of uiauy miles square, and
the lovs, which includes houses,
barns, granaries, feed and stock can
only be guessed at. Near Marvin, on
thenorth branch of the Missouri Pa
cific thirty or forty miles due north of
Stockton," there was a destructive
fire Saturday night and Sunday. A
gentleman who followed its
track for a distance of twenty
miles, says the conntry is a
blackened waste. As far as he could
see, houses, fences and everything vas
swept away. Occasionally there is a
green field of wheat to relieve the
black monotony.

The Itehrlng Sea Seal Fisheries.
Special to The Astokian.
Ottawa'. Ont. March 25. Captain
Warne, of Vancouver, is in this city
on business with the minister of ma
rine fisheries. In an interview, Cap
tain Warne said he had come down
armed with powers of attorney, repre
senting $300,000, claims of several
owners, for losses in the Behr
ing sea seal fisheries. For several
years, in fact, since 1887, "Bohring
sea never was a private sea," said the
captain.
"When Russia owned the country,
the United States protested against
their claim that it was a private sea
and were joined by Great Britain. In
1827 Russia seized a sealer belonging
to tho United States and had to restore
it, paying all costs and claims for
damages."
Of conrsc we do not admit now that
the United States owns it, or that they
can make it a private sea to suit their
own convenience. We certainly ex
pect to receive recompense for our
losses. One of my boats was seized
last year with about $1,000 worth of
furs on board. I have three
boam which cost some of them
$16,000. A sealer is very heavily
manned. Five men would be suffi
cient to sail the schooner, but for
sealing, they have to carry about
eight seamen." Hon. C. H. Tupper,
minister of fisheries, arrived here to
day from Washington, and was in
terviewed by Capt Warne.

writer and used good grammar all the
time, in drawing off pieces for the

ate in the pit of his stomach, and
though of a social nature, he uses no
judgment in selecting his associates.
