WASHINGTON , Oct. 25. The expert commission which was appointed by direc tion of congress to visit the seal Islands and make a scientific condition of the seal herds of the Northern Pacific and Bering sea has returned to this country and the report Is now nearly complete , awaiting only some of the figures showing the catcli of pelagic sealers this last season. The United States commissioners , Messrs. Jor dan , Lucas and Stejenger , were accompanied by a British commission , composed of Messrs. D'Arcy. Thompson and Maccoun. While these gentlemen , pursued their In quiries In company and frequently com pared notes , the two commissions will make Independent reports to their respective gov ernments , and there can be no joint action. On one point of the utmost Importance both sets of commissions appear to be In agreement namely : that without reference to the cause which has brought the seal herds to the present alarmingly de pleted condition , the further operations of pelagic sealers will prove disastrous and threaten to exterminate the seals. This Is a most important concession on the part of the British , as in the correspondence which led up to the reference of the ques tion to there expert commissioners. Lord Salisbury's position has been that the seal pirates inflicted little or no damage upou the herds , as compared with the losses sus tained through the annual killing of seals on the Prlbyloff Islands by the North American Soil company. It Is true that the Canadian and British experts were Inclined to the belief that the present con dition of the herds was In a large measure chargeable to the operations of the seal companies In 1869 and prior years , when they were permitted to kill as many as 100,000 seals annually on the Islands. An the commissions will report annually , the nature of the remedy to be recommended cannot be known. The commission for America would favor a total suspension of pelagic scaling , If pon- slblc , and while It Is hardly probable that the British would be willing to concede this much. It is believed that they will be disposed to recommend further restrictions upon pelagic sealing , cither by extending the boundaries of the closed ocean , length ening the close seasou , or both , perhaps. The Russian and Japanese governments , having seals of their own to protect , nre Interesting themselves on our side of the CMC. CMC.The commission visited the Ruesian Com mander Islands , as well as the Japanese Is lands , In the pursuit of their inquiry. A Russian representative Is already In the United States to follow up the matter , and with the active co-operation of these gov ernments In our Interests , It Is hoped the British will be disposed to consent to further restrictive measures , particularly as tbo time Is now ripe owing tb the almost total failure of the pelagic sealers to make paying catches the past summer. ICD.NTL'CICV JAIIIIIHUS U.SCAPU. MX Uemiernte Men Unit Their Cell * Suddenly- I.oulMvlllr. LOUISVILLE , Ocu. 25. A daring jail de livery was perpetrated tonight at the county Jail shortly after 5:30 : o'clock and six des perate prisoners made their escape. The delivery was .supposed to be a wholesale one , In which every prisoner confined on the third floor of the old jail was to get out , but tbo watchfulness of the turnkeys prevented this and only six men escaped. The men who got out arc : Jake Brill , convicted counterfeiter , hav ing a sentence of six years to serve ; Harry , Brooks , convicted of robbing a postofllcu and having a sentence of four years to serve ; Tom McKcnzle. charged with house breaking and having had no trial ; William McKeiizle. charged with house breaking ana awaiting trial ; Tom Kelley. charged with house breaking and awaiting ila s Satcrlcc , charged with cow stealing and awaiting trial. All ore white and considered desperate prlcontT3 and who would hctiltato at nothing. They gained their liberty by scraping the mortar from the bricks in cell No. 5 , letting the bricks fall Into the Interior of the cell and in this manner they got a hole large enough for them to climb through. One at a ttmo they made their way out and climbed upon the roof. Then by means of a short rope , they let themselves down Into a narrow alley between the wall of the jallyard and an abutment of the new jail , and escaped. None of the escaped prisoners had been captured up to midnight. This Is the second jail delivery In Louisville with in the last year , seven prisoners making their escape Christmas day.

Carter , was an In- portant witness and all the others were brought hero by one side or the other for the purpose of testifying to the general rep utation of Carter. The witnesses were here at various times during the trial. One party of them came In a special car from Omaha , and a special train was run from here to Delnur In order that tiny might return home as soon as possible' : The case Itself Is of much more than or dinary moment and worthy of extended notice. In the month of August , 1S % , there died here , after an Illness of some -weeks , Matt WaUon , a wealthy old bachelor who for forty years had been a well known money lender of Maquoketa. His estate was valued at fully $300,000 , the greater part of which was represented by some COO mortgages. Ho left no will and there being no near relatives , It was supposed the property would go tu his only sister , Mrs. Julia A. Rlcharson of Johnson's Creek , N. Y. , and some fourteen nephews and nieces. It was but a short time after his death that there arose a rumor to the effect that there was an * Illegitimate son in existence and soon afterwards George Nlles Watson appeared hero and claimed the whole estate as tbe Illegitimate son of the dead man. ROMANCE OF THE OLD MAN. It appears that while Matt was a boarder at the Dccl er bouse during 1SC.S and 18G9 , he became unduly Intimate with one uf the Blrla working there Mary Jonis by name. She was db-iharged from the hotel during the summer of 1SI9. ( She had no friends or relatives tLcrc and was finally taken to the county poor house near Andrew. While there. ' and or the 20th day of December. 1SC9. she rove birth to the child that has now grown to manhood and appears as the claimant in tbe case. The followinr March tbe child was adopted by Sir. and Mrs. TTJebrge Nlles. proprietor * of the Decker house. It Is claimed that at this particular time Watson entered into c contract with Mrs. Nlles wherein he agreed to provide for the rearing and education ot tbo child. If she would adopt It , and also stating that he was the father of the child. The Nlles family afterwards removed from here to Kansas , living at Abilene last. The child here grew up and his foster mother died when lie was 18 yctrs of age. A year afterwards he became possessed of a desire for different scenes and then enlisted In the Seventh United States cavalry. He re mained there for five years , part of the time being a rergeant. When bis time there ex pired he rc-enlistcd In the Eighteenth In fantry , remaining there until discharged last year. During bis army life ho partici pated in the quelling of a number of Indian uprlslngs udttllniL.thM ' of the Sioux in Dikota. ' - , It Is necessary that it be proven"jit the dead man recognized him as his son In such a way as to be general and open ; that being done he will receive the whole es tate of J300 000. Many witnesses have testi fied to such recognition , but the alleged con tract by Watson , In which he recognized the child as his son , could not be produced Neither could they find any trace of Mary Jores , the mother of the boy. The whole tlmo since the death of Watson In August , 1S95 , and up to the present trial has been spent by both sides In a laborious search for evidence. HAS ALREADY COST THOUSANDS. Although the case had been on the docket for some months it was not brought to trial until September 1. Judge C. M , Waterman called a special term of court to hear the caee. Court has now lasted nearly eight weeks and about 400 witnesses have been ex amined from seven various statc-s , namely : California , Tennessee , Kansas , Louisiana , Iowa , Nebraska and Minnesota. Similar par ties of witnesses to those from Omaha were brought from Aledo , III. , Odebolt and Dav enport , la. There are fifteen lawyers em ployed In the case , among whom are Joe R. Lane of Davenport , W. I. Hayes , ex-con gressman , and L. A. Ellis , state senator. The arguments In the ease were limited by the court to four days. The vast volume of testimony In the case , coming a ; It docs from all directions , has been procured at vast expense , estimated at not less than { 15,000. In addition to this the attorneys' fees will be somewhere from * 5.000 to $100,000. Judge Waterman will file his decision as soon as pccslblc and at the name time do justice to the case. Each side affirms Its resolution to carry the matter to the su preme court in case of defeat In this court. iiKNOf.vcn ixGiAXi > 's MITIIO S.

Mt > T I'AY AMERICAN HecUlon of the Supreme Court of Can ada on the KlKhcrlcM l.lccnitc. BOSTON , Oct. 25. A special to the Jour nal from Gloucester. Mass. , says : News 4ias Just been received here of an Important decision" Iff the supreme court of Canada which may result lli tha repayment of all license fees paid by American fisntrcucn since the abrogation , of the treaty of Wash ington for licenses Issued under the modus Vivendi. The action was brought before tbo court many years ago for the purpose of defining tbe relative rates and settling rival claims of tbe Canadian provinces on one band , and the Dominion government on the other , and has resulted In a victory for the former. The claim of the provinces upon every point raised Is approved except that the Dominion Is declared In control of harbors. In the case of harbors the Do minion is declared to have the right of con trolling its fishing , but it has no power to grant a local lease In any part of the country , and in the tidal waters neithe-r the Dominion nor any province has power to restrict public rights of fUhlug save by general legislation , except in a very few particulars. Therefore , the present Do minion fishery act under which licence fees are exacted from American fishermen is Illegal and must be withdrawn. Thefcc licenses , it is estimated , amount to over $70,000 a year. Ml I.O.NGUR I'Minil TUB LAWS IIAX. I'Mn < - LotiK AKO ANMCKCI ! AcaliiHt u MliilNter Klnally Itemltleil. WEBSTER CITY , la. .

It seems from the ctatcments by men employed on the line that the accident was flue to the ovcralgh * of one of the oldest engineers on this d vision of the 'Frisco , . Joseph Drydtn , who was In charge of tliB excursion train. The colll.Ion occurred bctnccn the second section of an excursion train bound west mid the. 'Frisco Valley Park accommoda tion. The excursion crew should have re mained at Spring Park for orders and let have let the accommodation train pass. The excursion train was the second section of a special bound for St. James. Mo. , 100 miles west of St. Louis , , where the Mis souri Home for Aged Veterans was dedi cated today under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Republic and Woman's Relief corps. The first section had gone through safely and the second , which consisted of eleven coaches heavily laden with Grand Army men and their wives and children , left St. Louis about 0 o'clock. FAILS TO STOP FOR ORDERS. According to J. D. Dlshman , the tele graph operator and station agent at Sprinff park , It should have stopped at that place for orders. Instead of doing so , the sec tion passed by the Elation , and soon after met the accommodation coming down grade rt full speed. Engineer Hohl of the ac commodation was not aware that tbo sec- oiui bfctloti was on the road , and lu trying to make the switch at Klrkwood , crashed into the Ill-fated train in a cut just thir teen miles from the St. Louis Union sta tion. Thert was only one car , a combina tion baggage and ctuch , on Engineer Hohl's train , but the colln. . was terrific , both engines being demolished. & ? " number of the cars telescoped. The wiwti ' s plied high on the track , and above the sound of escaping steam could be heard the cries of the frightened and Injured passen gers. gers.Next to the engine of the excursion train was the ccmmlEsary car filled with refresh ments. Barney McKcnna was In charge of the edibles and with him was his 14-year-old daughter , Maud. Both were- Instantly killed , being scalded and crushed. A number of passengers , mostly young men , were grouped around the temporary counter eating and , drinking. Almost all were either killed or Injured. This and the next car , In which were seventy passengers , Buffered tbeorst damage and most of the killed and Injured were taken from them , Engineer Hohl of th'j accommodation , which was run ning on time , was killed and his fireman. Frank Hatler , badly Injured. "I cannot see how It could have occurred , " said an official of the road tonight , "but Engineer Dryden seems to have entirely forgotten about No. 12 , tbo accommoda tion train. Het Is one of tbo best engineers of the road , and the overlooking of the train which was traveling toward him Is all the more remarkable , for the reason that ho was for a tlmo Its engineer , and was , therefore , perfectly familiar with Its schedule. But the train seems to have dropped completely out of bis recollection. He failed to take the xtdlng , and bis con ductor , George Atwood , who was taking tickets failed to notice tbe fact. The accommodation train contlsted of an engine , tender , baggage car and two coaches , In which there were only five pas sengers. The engine and tender was wrecked , but the other three cars were not damaged. It Is duo to the lightness of this train that the accident was not worse than It was , " RESCUING THE INJURED. Immediately after the wreck occurred people ple began to come In from all directions , on wheels , In buggies , wagons and on foot , and within an hour after the accident thousand ! could be seen grouped around the pile ot debris. No wrecking train was available , but everybody turned to and In a short time had reicued the Injured and taken out the dead. Doctors , from surrounding towns hurried to the i-ccne and rendered what assistance they could to the suffering , who were trans ported to places of xafety. All tbe medical resources of St. Louis were placed at the disposal of the 'Frisco as soon as the news of the accident reached the city. Dr. Stark- lolf. the city physician , Immediately set out for thu scene of tbe wreck with a corps of assistants and ambulances , but owing to the delay experienced In getting to tbo wreck their sMTicrK were not needed. J. D. Dltlitnan , the. station agent at Spring park , stated to a reporter that had tbe ex cursion train stopped at Spring park f jr or ders , as It ishould have done , the accident would have been averted. He said ho got a message from Valley park when tbe ac commodation train left there and he added that had the excursion train stopped ho would have bad It pull Into tbe switch until the accommodation parsed. DUhman eald that ho was In his office when the excursion I passed at a high rate of speed. He ualJ ' that he knew that the trains would comu I together but that bo was pouerleas to avert tbo accident.
