Tliev Have Been Yiolalii'i; tinted Hlntes' Revenue I.uwh, unci MiiHt Now Pay the l ldtller Flues of Perhaps $24,000. Victoria. I!. C, I til v 2. Tliccxcursion steamer Ouecu, nrrivcj itt Naninio from Alaska yesterday, confirming u recent rt port that twenty-five sailing schooners, living tile llritish ling, together with the llritish steamer Conquillon, chartered to act us tender to the sealing fleet, have all been gathered in by Capt. Hooper, of the United States revenue steamer Cor win for violation of the United States revenue laws. A colonist special says : The llritish steamer CompiiUon of Vancouver, H. C, MeClcliau, master, ur lived in Sitka June 20 in charge of Lieu tenant (Jinan and Assistant Unineer Hrethcrton, and was turned over to the United States collector of customs lor violation of revenue laws. The Conquillon was seized bv Copt. Hooper at Port Etches, Prince William so mid, on June 22, for haviiuj blank manifest on board showing neither cargo nor passenger, and entering and towing vessels of the ports of Alaska and bringing stores and receiving sealskins from llrit ish sealing fleet within the jurisdiction of the United States recently without any crmits. Her operations were observed by Lt. Ouinn, of the Corwin, who dis guised in citizens clothing had been out to Port Iitches for the purpose of watch ing the movements of the schooners and steamers. The Conquillon is a single screw pro pellor of Kit) tons burden, carrying twelve men and five passengers, and had on band nearly six thousand seal skins valued at $70,000, besides all the stores for the fleet. The shore is cleared by the I'nion steamship company of Van couver, and was chartered by the llritish Columbia sealers association of Victoria. The twenty-live llritish schooners were loaded in port Iitches, and after being given reasonable time lor weather and repairs, they were ordered out of the harbor. The ceizure of the Coquillion leaves all of the Urittish sealing fleet in northern waters without supplies. The Conquillon is discharging all seal skins which she received from English scalers and also discharging all stock which she was going to put on board sealers when she was taken in charge. The twenty-five schooners and British steamer were in the Port of Iitches when the Corwin came into harbor and gathered them in. About all the sealers in Alaskan waters have been boarded by the Corwin or other United States war ships forming the patrol. The Mohican, Ranger, Pinta, llaslcr and Corwin are all in Sitka. The news is a great surprise here. It is thought Capt. Hooker's action was to cut off the schooners from their source of supplies thus starving them home. This will not work with many of them.as they are outfitted lor the whole season, but a few may be compelled to return. The seizure itscll don't appear to be as si- nous as at first might be supposed. Cup tain J. S. Cox, president of the sealers'. association, says the question at issue is not affected at "all. The only wrong doingcharged against the steamer, is for going too close to Alaskan soil totranl'ersupplicsconsigned to sealers. Of course she had no mani lest, not expecting to get to any port, nor did she enter Port Iitches as there are no ollicialsofnnvgovcrnincnt located there. She left port with a complete store list, liowever.nnd complied strictly with other forms. As there could be no charge against her of attempting to defraud the revenue laws by smuggling goods into Alaska for sale, the boat would not be liable to confiscation or more serious penalty upon combined charges than lines of perhaps $2-,000. The seal skins and other cargo could not be touched, she not being responsible for the misdoings of the schooners. As for the schooners, it was evident that they had transferred their catch, as it would be more likely 00,0110 than ti.OOO. A meeting of the association niav pos sibly be held during the day to give at tention to the latest developments in the situation. TO CI.OSK MONDAY, BuHlueMM MrmitH..d"TlieCili7.e.i" to Unnerve the Fourth. The following Asheville firms have agreed to close their places of business on Monday, the Fourth of July : J. II.

A number of firms have not signed the list, but it is believed that, in accordance with thecustom, nearly alt of the busi ness houses will close. The CrnziiN also will observe the i;lo rious Fourth, and in consequence no paicr win oe issued on mat date. TRADES DISPLAY. The EloatM Will Have a Illntorl eal sliculflcauce. The trades display and procession to take place in Asheville on the night o' August 11, during the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of Iluncombe county, is expected to be a brilliant one. 1 he business men are taking great inter est in the matter. Several firms have engaged Scnor P. A. Casanavc y Pineda, an nrtist now in the city, to decorate their floats with historical pictures representing Asheville and Buncombe county through the past century. The Scnor took a large part in the decorating ol floats lor the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. It is probable that he will be employed by the ccntcn ntai committee to do all ot tne work in this line. In the style proposed the dis play can uc made doubly attractive. J. I,. Taylor Goes Abroad. Philadelphia, July 2. James L.

POLITICIANS NOT THERE THIRD PARTY DEI.ECATICM IN SESSION. Tlic Waul (irc-Hli in for 1'rcnl dent, But W eaver Hun the Next Chance and lie WantH (he Nom ination lintlly. Omaha, Neb., July 2. The national convention of the People's party con vened in this city ut 10 o'clock. Long before the hour of gathering the vast convention hall was crowded with vis itors. The scenes presented were char acteristic of great national conventions. There was one significant difference be tween the gathering today and the na tional conclaves of the democratic and republican parties held a fewdavsago. In the convention today the politician was conspiciously absent. Tactics and subterfuge gave place to open declara tions, and all there was of politics in this convention was on the surface, anil plainly nmnilested in every demonstra tion. Everybody seemed to be in a eon congratulatory mood over the large attendance, and there was a general determination that harmony should be preserved on all questions, and that the most available man should be selected to lead the light in the coming campaign. The Gresham boom will not down. It was supposed that a terse telegram re ceived Ironi him last night announcing that his name would not be presented to the convention would be accepted as evincing a desire on the part of the judge that his name should be withdrawn, but there arc a large number of liresham enthusiasts who, this morning, maintain that the distinguished jurist has not openly asserted that he will not accept the nomination, and that in this fact is evidence that he will accept it if it be tendered him. The friends of Oen. Weaver, of Iowa, have made the discouraging telegram ol Gresham the occasion to push their fav orite into prominence ami there is little doubt that Weaver is today, with Grcham out of the race, the popular choice of the convention. The gen eral himself has very little to say, avowing that his first choice is Gresham, and that he don't de sire to be considered in connection with the nomination unless it is positively known that the great Indianaian will not accept. In the south as well as in the west, Weaver is particularly strong, as he has conducted much of hiscampaigningin be half of the People's party in states south of Mason and Dixon line, and his popu larity in that section, added to bis great popularity as the Greenback leader in the west, makes him the most prominent candidate mentioned for president. C. II. Ellington, of Georgia, has been selected as temporary cliainuau of the convention. Uresham Will Not Accept. Indianapolis, Ino,Julv 2. In view of the interest in this city and stale and throughout the country as to the possi bility of the nomination of Judge Walter O. Gresham for the presidtnev by the convention of the people's party at Omaha, and his acceptance of the honor, the News yesterday sent the judge the following dispatch : "Will you say something lor publica tion in the Indianapolis News ? Will you accept the nominationjfrom the Omaha convention if tendered ?" In reply, the News this morning re ceived the following dispatch: "Oki. ijans, J ml., July 2. livening News, Indianapolis: 1 would not ac cept on any platform. " IT. (J. Cvcsltnm." I'owderly Will I'reslcle. Omaha, Neb., June2. There is already considerable speculation as to who will be permanent chairman of the conven tion, and by general consent that honor seems likely to be presented to Hon. T. V. I'owderly, grand master K. of L. I'owderly will not arrive in the city until tomorrow afternoon or evening. There has been no report by the com mittee on permanent organization, but the leaders are nearly unanimous in ex pressing preference lor I'owderly. BANDS OF MERCY.

Here's News to Astonish Hie Polit ical 'World- Morgan's Bill UetH Through and Will Now Go to the House. Washington, July 2. A free silver bill passed the senate yesterday. It reads: "That the owner of silver bullion may deposit same at any mint of the United States to be coined for his benefit, and it shall be the duty of the proper officers, upon the terms and conditions which are provided by the law for deposit and coinage ol gold, to coin such bul lion into standard dollars author ized by the act of February 2Sth, ls"S, entitled an act to authorize the coinage of the standard silver dollar and to re store its legal tender character, and such coins siif.il be legal tender foi all debts and dues, public and private. The act of July 11th, 181)0, entitled 'an act di recting the purchase ol silver bullion and the issue ol treasury notes thereon, and for other purposes' is hereby repealed: Provided the secretary ol the treasury shall proceed to have coined all the silver bullion in the treasury purchased wirfi silver or coin certificates." THi; H, H. CHICAGO ON ROCK. All ll.e I'aSHeiiKcra Got Ashore Without Accident. I.oNiMiN, July 2 The City of Chicago went ashore last night on the Hassel rocks about half a mile inside the old head ofKinsale. The passengers entered the boats in an orderly manner without any rxcilcmcnt and were conveyed ashore and thence to Ouccnstown, to be sent by rail and steamer to their various destinations. At the time of the accident the passen gers, both cabin and steerage, were nearly all up and many of them were on k expecting, when the fog should ear, to enioy the view ol the Irish coast. Suddenly a rasping sound was heard, nd the ship quivered from end to cud here was hardlv anv one that did not udersland what had happened, hut all id confidence in the olhccrs, and while iiightcr gave way to sober anxiety, there was no panic, no rush for the boats r even lor lite pcrservers. Capt. Hcdlord took time to give word to the passengers that they were in no anger whatever. His coolness rtassured the doubting, and the passengers curiously but quietly watched the further proceedings. When it became evident that the rescue the steamer could not be accom plished in a short time steps were taken to land the mails and passungcrs. Pas sengers were taken ashore in small boats, women and children being ollcred priority. THE l'Ol'KTH, Concress will Observe the Na tion's Great Day. Washington, July 2.

Oregon I.vuehers Stop Before the Mouths of Pistols. Portland, Oregon, Julv 2. Shortly before midnight a mob of about 200 men arrived in this city from Milwaukee, i village six miles distant, and proceed- ng to the county jail demanded that the sheriff surrender Geo. Wilson, who is confined for outraging and murdering Mamie Walsh, a thirtecn-ycar old girl at Milwaukee a week ago. About 2,000 people were attracted to the scene and the l.nclers attempted to break in the jail but the police force which is on guard, drew their revolvers and repulsed the mob. I he leaders then withdrew to hold a oiisultatiou. It is probable that another attempt will be made. Y. M. C. A. Sunday. Mr. L. A.
