Victoria, B. 0., Aug. 22.— Capt.

follows:
“On July 30 we were boarded by cut¬

He also put a or^jy aboard her, and sent
her to Sitka. He also told us that he

aboard them had let them go out of the
sea without molestation. He did not

city. Both schooners are well known
here, and their catch is a very valuable
one. The Algar had 300 skins when
boarded.
Will Do Like the Black Diamond.
It now appears that on the trip down
Capt. Algar sighted first the Minnie
and then the Path Finder, each with
one man as a prize crew aboard. Both
signalled their intention of not going to
Sitka at all, but of coming on to
Victoria, so that within a few hours we
may expect to see them in the harbor.
When L : < ut, Tttule went aboard the
Algar, several of his sailors expressed
themselves as heartily sick of their
work.
A public indignation meeting will be
held by Mayor Grant. The captain has
been closeted with the American consul
for two hours.

Lucerne, Aug. 22 — A syndicate of

been trying to bring about the amalga¬

Suisse Oooidental Simplon railways.
They finally succeeded iu buying up a
large proportion of shares iuthe western
company in which the French capital
predominated, and at the last meeting
of shareholders a majority In favor of
fusion was obtained. Two directors,
representing French interests, were
replaced by others favorable to the
scheme, and now the whole line
connecting Lucerne, Burne, Poutarliere,
Geneva and tho Bimplon is, like the Si
Gothard railway, under German in¬
fluence.
To Tunnel Stiuplon Pas*.
The new company favors an immedi¬
ate piercing of the Simplon Pass and
guarantees a subveusion of 80,000,000
francs. They have accepted a scheme
for a tunnel at the base of the moun¬
tain, with the southern mouth in Italy,
and that country will contribute 15,000,-
000 francs. There is little doubt that
the Swiss government will now accept
this’ proposal. The whole plan is of
great importance to Germany and Italy,
both commercially and strategically.
Switzerland and the Simplon valley
will be thrown open to German goods
