Sir Julian Pauncofote, the British minister, bas officially called tho attention of the United States to a violation of the terms of modus vivendi in effect between the two countries as to the catch of scal in Bering sea. By the agreement betweon the two countries the North American Commercial Compa: which leases the seal islands from the United States, was restricted in the catch of seal this oar to 7,500 skins.

The contents of Agent Williams’ report can- not be accurately ascertained, but it is under- stood that he makes the admission that the North American Commercial Company has ex- ceeded the limit of catch—7,500 skins—fixed by the modus vivendi. The matter is regarded here as quite important and may lead to the modus vivendi being declared inoperative after this date. THE BRITISH LEGATION DESERTED. Information as to the Bering sea, the modus vivendi, or the seal catch could not be obtained at the British legation. A pleasant-faced col- ored man, odorous of paint and furni- ture polish, came to the office door and told a Sran reporter that Sir Julian Paunce- fote was at Newport, and that all the secretaries and attaches were out of town. As to the date of their possible return he was diplomatically evasive. BELDEN NOW TALKED OF. WANTED (Help). WANTED (Houses) WANTED (Lots)...

It is stated on excellent a thority that Mr. Platt and Senator Hiscock are pressing the President to appoint Kepresenta- tive Belden of New York Secretary of War and they expect that the appointment will be made. Mr. Belden was opposed to the nomination of Mr. Fassett for governor of New York and also to the appointment of Senator Hendricks as collector of the port of New York, but Messrs. Platt and Hiscock managed to get the best of him in both matters. Now it ia felt to be necessary to placate him in order to insure his hearty support of the ticket and to prevent any opposition on his part to the plan for securing a Harrison delegation to the national convention. Moreover, Mr. Bel- den is suspectert of having a design for the de- feat of Mr. Hiscock’s ambition to be returned Founti-Crass Postaasters APPomNrep.— Fourth-class postmasters have been appointed as follows: Maryland—W.

All of the members were present or accounted for. Mr. Blaine and Mr. Proctor were the on absentees. It was a sort of national cleaning. house, and the time was mostly occupied in discussion of the accumulations of the sum- mer. ‘The President had a good many tions to moko, o vast number of queciiong to car and some directions to give, while the cabinet members had to make. Of course, was a trace of politics throughout the conversations, a tinge of fore- casting, and some speculation as to the tone of affairs, but for the greater part of the time the official family was engaged with household matters. The unusual amount of patronage that has uncovered itself formed an interesting theme for debate and the President indicated his anxiety that good men might be found to fill the judicial circuits, the California judgeship, the vacant seat in the Court of Claims and the two places on the in- terstate commerce commission. UsThere were but few callers at the mansion during the morning. Among them were Sec- retary Noble, Senators Barbour and Squire, Representative McKenna, California; Mr. Powell Clayton, jr., and Gen.

Toman, Wis., Sept. 18.—A most disastrous fire is raging in the cranberry marshes between Valley Junction and Norway Ridge. The fire originated on the Mills marsh from an old forest fire that bas been smouldering the last three weeks. Fanned by a brisk gale from the south it spread and was soon beyond control. All the buildings on Tay- lor's marsh, filled with harvested berries, were quickly reduced, the flames continuing m a southeasterly direction, sweeping everything in their path. Berry pickers ran, leaving their tents and accoutrements to the flames. The railroad track was crossed and the fire swept onward. Between twenty-five and thirty square mileg of marshes have been con- sumed and the firéshows no signs of abating. What the loss will be it ix impossible to esti- mate. Thousands of dollars’ worth have already been burned. Men from miles about are on the ground to fight the fire, but rain, of which at present there are no indications, is the only salvation.

They are conscious that they might precipitate » total collapse by treating the technical liability of the state as being equivalent to its actual guilt. “The course they are likely to pursue if there is a repetition of the riots is to take the matter into the:r own hands and exact satisfaction from the offending locality. “Speedy and sharp measures are indispense- ble or whole maritime districts of the empire may be in flames.” Swancual, Sept. 18.—The Chinese govern- ment, it is announced, is not aware of any threatened naval demonstration upon the part of the combined fleets of the powers.
