Washington, Feb. 27.—'Some time ago the secretary of the treasury re ceived unofficial information to the effect that ,1. W. Ivey, collector of customs at Sitka, Alaska, had in structed his deputy at Unalaska not to permit Canadian vessels presum ably about to engage in pelagic seal ing to obtain supplies at that port. The collector was directed to send a statement of the facts to the depart ment, and was informed that if such orders had been given they must be rescinded. Yesterday the depart ment received a telegram from Ivey saying: "My instructions were not against vessels engaged in alleged legal seal fishing, but against Canadian vessels actually engaged in pelagic sealing, which is illegal and criminal when committed within the marine, jurisdic tion of the United States. If there is an ancient treaty between the United States and Great Ui;itain by which Kritish subjects can commit depredations, destroying American property and depleting our revenue of tens of thousands of dollars an nually while our own citizens are de nied these privileges, the sooner such treaty is abrogated the better. Your solicitude regarding international complications with Great Britain need cause you no uneasiness, as the poaching season is not yet opened. Your new collector will arrive in time to enforce your orders. "My Americanism will not allow me to rescind an order which gives British subjects privileges within our marine jurisdiction which are denied our own people. There is another matter that may attract your atten tion. I have recently issued orders to the deputy at Skagway, a copy of which has been sent you, which has put the Canadian officers located there out of business and sent them to their own territory. You are aware of the fac tthat one officer be came so offensive that he interfered with American officers in the dis charge of their official duties; opened United States customs mails; domi nated over the railway officials; dis criminated in the order of shipment in favor of Canadian merchandise against that shipfjed from Seattle; established a Canadian quarantine at Skagway; collected moneys and per formed other acts of British sover eignty in a port of the United States, such as hoisting with bravado the cross of tot. George from the flag staff of his custom house. I have sent the concern, bag, baggage, flag and other paraphernalia flying out of the country. You may fear the shadow of international complica tions and rescind this order, but a Heed, an Gluey or a Blaine would not." MISS STORY. She wan Sworn to Secrecy In Itrciird to the Location of the « amps of the llrlgand*. Salonika, Roumelia, Feb. 27. —Miss Stone says the brigands swore both of their captives t.o absolute sevrecy regarding any information calculated to establish the identity of the brigands, the location of the places where they were, concealed, or other ; facts likely to compromise their eap j tors. As a matter of fact, the erst j while prisoners are very uncertain | regarding many details of their wan | derings. They did not know when they were '■ released in what section of the coun ; try they were. An arrangement had ; been made to release Miss Stone and her companion near Seres. Macedonia, | where Dragoman Gargilou and Mr. I House were waiting for them, but ! the brigands, owing to timidity or otherwise, declared it was too dif ficult to carry out the plan and brought their captives, after a night march, within one and a liftlf hours of Strumitza. The two women were left under the shelter of a tree, at i 3:30 in the morning of February 23. The bandits pointed out the direc j tion of the village and ordered tlm captives to report themselves to the j village elder, who, on learning their J identity would provide for them. The brigands then turned back and disap peared among the hills. TIT FOR TAT. Senator Tillman'* Admirer* iCccall an In» itatlon Sent to I*re*ldciit ltoo*e j velt. Augusta, Ga., Feb. 27. —Lieut. Gov. James 11. Tillman, of South Caro lina, who is in this city, says that, in deference to requests by wire from the subscribers to the fund for the sword alluded to, he has tele | graphed as follows to President j Roosevelt: "A short while ago I had the honor ! to address your excellency a hitter I requesting that on the occasion of your visit to Charleston, you present a sword to Maj.

You accepted the invitation, for which we thank you. J am now requested by contributors to the sword fund to ask that you withdraw said acceptance." In explaining the sending of the telegram Lieut. Gov. Tillman said: "It is with much regret that I am directed, or rather required to send the telegram 1 did, especially in view of the fact that I am so closely re lated to one who but a few days ago was subjected to an affront which was seemingly, or at least the peo ple who contributed to the purchase of the sword think, unwarranted."

AWFUL DISASTER, Three Snowslides Bury Dozen* of Men at Telluride, Col. One ol'tlic Ho*t Terrible Calamine* o' It* Kind <>ll ltccord--.7lcii Who Tried to Nuvo Miner* 111 Fir*tSlldfWKn:;iilfcd by Other Avh ni'hea. Telluride, Col.. .rch 1. —The most terrible snows!' ever known in Col orado caused i.ip deaths of from 3(! to 75 men at the Liberty IJell mine, on Smuggler mountain, Friday. Al though the scene of the disaster is scarcely two miles from this town, in formation is difficult to obtain, on account of the precipitous character of the roads and the vast amount of snow. Nearly all the buildings of the Liberty Hell mine were carried down by tlx' slide, all the. books which show the number and names of the men employed being lost, so that the death list can hardly be known for many hours, possibly not until the rescuers shall have removed the im mense quantity of snow, rocks and lofjs from the canyon where the vic tims lie buried. ft seems that two slides occurred practically in the same place, the second burying those who were try ing to rescue the victims of the first. The lirst slide occurred at 7:30 a. in., while the men of the day shift were preparing for their day's work. About 200 men are employed in the mines and mills of the Liberty Bell Co., and less than half these were at work at the time of the accident. The others were in the boarding house or in the bunkhouse nearby. Moth these buildings were carried down the mountain side, a distance of 2,000 feet, and crushed by tons of snow. It was 10 o'clock before news of the disaster reached Telluride. At once a number of men started for the scene. Meantime the surviving employes of the Liberty Hell began the work of rescuing the victims of the slide. Several were taken out alive, and a dozen or more bodies were removed from the snow whicn lay piled 2.1 i feet deep in the bottom of the canyon. A little after norm a second slide, starting a short dis tance above the first, and practically following its track, swept down the mountain side, burying many of the rescuers. A third slide came down at 3 o'clock, about a mile below the Liber ty I tell mines, and Uus Von Fintel, John Powell and Paul Dalpra, who were on their return from the scene of the catastrophe in the morning, were swept away. Ilarry Chase lost his life at the Liberty Hell, while assisting in the rescue of the unfortunates of the first slide. The Liberty Hell mine is one of the three largest mines in the district, the Smuggler-Union and the Tomboy being the other two. It is owned by Kansas City people, the name of the company being the Liberty Hell Gold Mining and Milling Co. The Liberty Hell is located a mile and a quarter north of Telluride and has an alti tude of about 12,000 feet at the mouth of the tunnel. The buildings of the mine occupy a bench on the mountain side, and were erected in a location that was supposed to be protected from snow slides by a ridge, which it was thought would divert the course of any avalanche that might be started. The vast accumulation of snow within the past two weeks, however, gave the slide such a volume that nothing could stay its progress until it reached the bottom of the canyon. TRADE REVIEW. It. ti.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly iteview of Trade says: Although the shortest month of the year was further curtailed by two holidays and Handicapped by the most severe storms of the winter, in dustrial and trade results were most satisfactory. The closing week brought a general resumption of ac tivity in litres that suffered from the weather and preparation for an ex ceptionally heavy spring business was reported at many points, southern cities alone being backward. Pressure for structural material is already severe and will probably be still more so as the regular building season draws nearer. Further hard ening of quotations is reported, and inquiries for delivery in 11103 are not exceptional. More foreign steel has been engaged, and domestic concerns are still bidding in the German mar ket. Makers of cotton goods are very cautious about undertaking future deliveries, owing to the uncertainty as to labor and raw material. Woolen goods are well maintained and in brisk demand.

London, March I.—Following the precedent of ltoberts, who an nounced Cronje's surrender at I'aardeberg, on the anniversary of the battle of Majuba Hill, Lord Kitch ener apparently selected the same anniversary to achieve a big success, by a combined movement lasting two days against the Boer forces within the Harrismith and Vanreenen line of blockhouses. The Hoer losses ag gregate (iOO men killed or captured, and 2,000 horses, 28,000 head of cat tle fell into the hands o« the Hritish.

Feb. 2S.—Yesterday the combined operations of the col umns terminted in driving the Boers against the Harrismith and Vanree nen blockhouse line. The river Wilge was held by the Leinster regiment and Elliott's mounted infantry from Harrismith, while tin* columns formed on the Frankfort and Hotha's Pass blockhouse line and advanced south, holding the entire country be tween the Wilge and the Natal fron tier. On the first night a very se vere attempt to break through was made at a point between Remington's anil Hyng's columns and the New Zealanders behaved with great gal lantry. The fighting was at close quarters and the Boers, as usual, drove a large herd of cattle in front of them. "Matlie Botha, the Hoer leader, was killed, and 35 dead Boers were found on the ground. Over 100 horses were killed and 0,000 head of cattle were left in our hands. Other small at tempts to break out were made and in two eases were successful. On the last day 450 Boers, with rifles and horses, were captured. All the col umns have not yet reported and tne operations have i>een verv wide, out over 000 liners have been either killed or are prisoners in our hands; also 2,000 horses, 28,000 head of cattle, 200 wagons, 60,000 sheep, 000 rifles, and 50,000 rounds of ammunition. The prisoners include Gen. De Wet's son anil his secretary, Commandants Mey er and Tfutlier, and several field cor nets. These satisfactory results are very appropriate on the anniversary of Majuba."

The great ice gorge in the Allegheny passed out Friday without doing any serious damage, but the great volume of water behind it, which is being augmented every moment by swollen creeks and moun tain streams, make it apparent that much damage must result before the waters subside. At 10:30 p. in. Gov ernment Forecaster Kidgeway issued a bulletin stating that the rivers had reached the danger point and were rising fast. He sent out warnings to all rivrt' men, railroad companies and others interested to prepare for at least 25 feet by morning, and pre dicted a maximum of 30 feet. This stage, if reached, will completely sub merge the lower parts of Allegheny and this city and put out the tires in many mills and factories. The residents of the down-tdvvn districts have been preparing for months for the flood which they thought inevitable. All have moved to second floors. The Lincoln and Boy er hotels and the Y. M. C. A. have va cated the ground floors in anticipa tion of being flooded. The mer chants along I'enn avenue have in stalled steam syphons in order to keey their cellars dry. liuilding oper ations along J'enn avenue will be se riously interfered with.
