Imperial Family.
Berlin dispatch: The Crown Princess is a
German OF the "Hausfrau" type, says the
London Truth and only troubles herself with
hernursery. .which.gives her plenty to dc. Thus
far she has lived chiefly at Potsdam. When
going to Berlin she went by rail, paying for
her tickets at the railway station. This was
why she dispensed with all suites the
but the nurse OF the baby, which she took
with her. Talking of the snobbish souled d
class, the new Crown Prince holds them in
ust contempt. Travelling from Berlin to
Frogmore in the days of his courtship, he
felt very hungry at halt not great dis
tance from Windsor. and said he must
take something to calm the knawing
without spelling his appetite for dinner.
So he ate sandwich and then called for
an egg, of which he took couple of spoon
fuls. A number of Britons OF the ROYALTY
adorning kind were looking on at the Prince
taking this refreshment. They had recog-
nized him, and would have liked to mob
him, OF which he was well aware. Laying
down the ehalf-consumed egg and quitting the
buffet, he said: II have made two persons
happy-myself and the snob, whoever he
may be, who has pounced upon the egg to
finish it.n The eausticity was worthy of
Frederick the Great.

OTTAWA, Ont, April 26.-In the House
OF Commons tonight the correspondents
with reference to Behring strait seal seiz.
ures was brought down. The most of it
deals with the protests OF the British
government, the statements being by
Bayard that for the time being no other
seizures would be ordered and the advice
OF the Icrown that the owners vessels
have case for dnmages. The only new
or important matter contained in the dis
patches is Lord Salisbury to Her
Majesty's plenipotentiaries at the: Fisheries
conference under date of December 2, 1887.
He said he received on the 26th telegram
from Mr.. Chamberlain inquiring whether
the proposal for an International confer
ence in regard to the Behring sea fisheries
had been accepted by Her Maiesty's Gov
eminent. You are aware from the cor.
respondence in your possession that COM
munications
WITH REFERENCE TO THE PROPOSAL
would appear to have been addressed to
some maritime powers of the United
States for an International convention
Tor the protection OF vessels in Behring
Sea, and were received last October from
the German and Swedish charge d'affaires
in London. No definite invitation for an |
International understanding on this cues
tion has yet been received from the United |
States by Her Maiesty's Government. In |
answer to a question from Phelps I have
expressed myself as being invariably dis
posed to negotiate for an agl cement as to |
a close season in all seal fisheries to who
soever belonging, but carefully separated
the question from all controversy as to
fishery rights" This terminates the cor
which is evidently a selec-
