CANADIAN VIEWS
On the Bebring Sea Controversy-They
Claim That Peace is Endangered.

New YORK, June 1st-The Herald this
morning publishes a three-column dispatch
from Ottawa giving the history of the seal
fishery troubles between the United States

ment now claims a right which she long
ago denied TO Russia before the Alaska
purchase, and which Russia was forced to
surrender. When the United States bought
the territory from Russia we could acquire
no greater right than Russia had The
ground taken is that this change Of base Is

a collision between the squadr0ns OF the
two powers there is more than the posi-
bility of blood being shed in an encounter
between the sealers and the crews of the
revenue cutters. The people interested in
the sealing industry in British Columbia
have determined to prosecute their calling
at all hazards, aud if they are interfered
with they will treat the intermeddler as a
pirate. The Herald concludes: "Of one
thing the people of the United States may
be assured, peace between the two great
English-speaking people is endangered not

THE CRONIN MURDER.
Ne New Developments IN the Case-The
Clan-na-Gael.

CHICAGO, June 1St-The many assertion
that evidence relating to the Cronin muir
der and to the alleged huge defalcation in
the Irish National funds had been dis
covered by Mortimer ScanlOn in the books
of the defunct Traders Bank of this city
while he was in charge as Court officer were
denied tonight by Scanlon himself, who
IN a written statement over his own sigma
ture said all such statements are absolutely
false, and attaches letter from Sheriff
Mattson stating that he (Scaulon) was
never Deputy Sheriff, and was never a
custodian of nor in any way connected
with tie effects of the Traders Bank
Upon the truth of the Traders Bank
story has rested many of the sensational
reports that have recently appeared as to
the supposed motive for the murder OF
Cronin.
Aside from this statement of Mr.. Scanlon
there has been no important Developments
in the case to-day. Chief Hubbard said to.
night that the police are pursuing the in
vestigation with all the vigor possible, but
that the progress is slow.
Mr.. ]. +. Beggs, young attorney, is re-
puted to be Senior Guardian" of the Co.
lumbia Club Camp 90 of the Clan Ma Gael.
It was by this camp, rumor has it, that DR.
Cronln was tried for treason in star cham.
oti hiNCeeuiHSS. Liz ponce, 1t Is Sdlu,
have been for some time laboring to collect
evidence to connect this camp with the re-
moval of Crouin.
Mr.. Beggs was seen by reporter this
afternoon and questioned as to his connec,
ton with the Clan-Na-Gael etc He said
the oath of the order prohibited him from
giving any information about its members
or as to the position occupied by himself
Referring to the statement made by Luke
Dillon of Philadelphia that the chief exec
utive of the order would be asked to re-
move the pledge of secrecy from the mem
bers of that organization so it might clear
itself of the charges which had been made
against it in connection with the case
Mr.. Beggs said he hoped the oath
would be suspended. and added
If the ClanNa-Gael does not
acquit itself in connection with this
crime, it would be wrecked, and the Irish
cause in America will perish with it. If
the oath of secrecy should be suspended,
he is confident the Order will instantly be
acquitted of completely in the crime as its
members and books would make it so
plain that the Clan-Na-Gael, as an Order,
had nothing to do with the murder that
such thing would never be thought of
again."

Growth of Electric Lighting.

The growth of electric lighting is some
thing wonderful. At the convention OF
the National Electric Light Association
President Duncan said that one year ago
there were 1900 plants in the United
States; these now number nearly 5000.
One year ago there were 175,000 arc lamps
in use; there are now 2l9,924 One year
ago there were 1,750,000 incandescent
lamps in use at the present time there are
over 2,500,0 00-49 per cent. increase. The
growth in electric railways is quite as
startling. The country is committed to
an electric age Steam and gas, which
have headed civilization, are being dis
placed. One more quarter of century
and every township, as well as city, will
be illuminated by electric lighting.

Heavy Losses to Property-An Railroad

BUFFALO, June lst.-But one train left
this city to-day. All the depots are filled
with anxious travellers bound in all direc-
tons, but the outlook is so threatening that
the railroad authorities are afraid to start
their trains.
A dispatch from Olean says: The sup
ply pipe of the water-works in that place
is broken and the city is without drinking
water. The citizens are alarmed over their
helpless condition in case fire should
break out. All the streams in Erie county
are swollen beyond their banks and great
damage is done in the counties of Catanags
and Chatauqua. At Hornellsville, on the
Erie road, the people are moving about in
boats, though the water there is subsiding.

SAMOAN CONFERENCE.
Artistic Work of Putting on the Finish
ing Touches at Berlin.

BERLIN, June 1st-After the seventh
plenary sitting of the Samoan conference
held on Wednesday last, the American
Commission was IN q position to cable to
Secretary Blaine the definite acceptance by
the German and English Governments OF
the Washington proposals limiting the
German indemnity, and Samoan rights to
levy import duties, and some of Mr..
Blaine's amendments to clauses relating to
the internal Samoan policy.
The Washington Government, aiming al
the possible independence of Samoa, has
not been in sympathy with the German
official mind which better comprehends
the measures to protect European inter-
ests and TO extend Europen influence, but
after slight hesitation the German Com
missioners have invariably yielded what
ever concessions America asked in the di-
rection of Samoan autonomy.
On the other hand, the Americans have
conceded practically nothing, adhering to
their original claims. Some show of con-
Citation was made toward the close of the
conference by the Americans leaving the
appoint of the first resident Judge of the
European community to England.
In official circles here it is surmised that
as Chief Justice Coleridge will have power
to appoint Judge, his known personal
relations of Chief Justice with America
had something to do with the American
Commissioners concession.
The general results of the conference do
not afford the Foreign Office and official
press any theme for congratulation. On
the contrary, there is visible irritation
over the delay in the conclusion of the
treaty negotiations. Semi official papers
ask why the conference is being practically
concluded.
The Washington Government postpones
the giving of orders to sign the treaty. The
truth is that no especial honor will
accrue to the German Government from
the result of the conference, so it does not
wish the matter TO be kept before the pub
lie.
The feeling in official circles undoubtedly
is that Germany, having yielded every
thing demanded by the Americans, the
Government at Washington ought to assent
to the prompt conclusion of matters. The
suggestion arises from the desire to bury

that the latter's representatives in Paris
had made such proposition to the French
Government. The Admiral thought that
General Hippolyte would triumph in the

his followers.
The Admiral believed it to begood policy
to keep one or two vessels on hand there,
