a Drunken Ohicer says That There VIII
be some Fighting.

VICTORIA, B. c.. May 3O-Startling
revelations regarding the tenor and ex.
tent Of the orders issued by the Admi-
rally authorities TO Admiral Henlage,
commanding the Pacific squadron, and
under which the British men. Of war
Swiftsure, Icarus and Amphion, now at
Esquimalt, will proceed TO Behring sea
early In June, were made yesterday by an
officer in high rank attached to the flag
ship.
He and a number Of other naval officers
attended a luncheon given by local club
men, and before the affair came to
close all were very much under the infiu-
ence Of champagne.
At the height of the festivities the
officer in responding to the toast Of the
navy said in substance that there would
be some fighting soon in Behring Sea II
the American authorities attempted to
prevent Canadian sealers from hunting
there. No attention would be paid to the
Presidents proclamation, he said, and
the admiral would not only dispute the
claim Of the Of the Americans to exclusive
sovereignty in the disputed waters, but
II American cruisers should take into
custody Canadian sealers caught fishing
thcrtlu lne DfltlSu nnen-Ol-WAf Woulu
take steps to recapture them.
He said further that the admiral com
manding the North American squadron
had sent the British cruiser Buzzard
from Bermuda to New York, and while
there orders were received from the Ad-
miralty to act at once and send two war.
ships from the North American station
to reinforce those now under orders to
proceed to Behring Sea.
II the statements made by the officer
are true it seems that Great Britain means
to resort to force rather than wait for q
diplomatic solution of the seal fishing
difficulty. Late yesterday the admiral
heard of the statements made by the
officer and at once ordered him under
arrest. Strong efforts were made {
keep the matter secret, but it leaked out
and caused great excitement. He has
communicated to the admiralty aauthori
ties by cable.

COLONEL MOORE IN PHILADELPHIA.
Talks to the Record Concerning Ex-secre-
tarY Bnynrd.


Ex-Secretary Bayard is evidently not
to be allowed to retire from politics by
his Delaware friends. "Mr. Bayard will
be factor in the contest in our state for
the United States Senatorship," said
Enoch Moore, big ship builder from
Wilmington, an ex-Representative and
an active politician. Mr.. Moore was in
the city yesterday and was deploring the
factional fight in the Democratic party in
Delaware, which has already given the
Republicans a United States Sena-
tor and promises to lose the state to the
Democrats two years hence. when a
governor is to be elected to succeed gov
ernor Biggs. Young Wolcott will want
Senator Gray TO step down, but don't
think that it will ever be possible for
Wolcott to be elected Senator. The fac
tions in the lower part of the state must
come together, and they will
never do that upon the basis of
Wolcott's election. There is a feel
ing that Bayard will be the man who can
heal the dissensions in the party. Mr..
Bayard will be but "a years old when the
next United States Senator is elected II,
is man who will stand fifteen or twenty
more years of active political life; and
although do not know that he has an,
further ambition, he is bound to b
drawn into politics in the state. Th
party is in Just such a position as to we
come him back as it's leader Peopl
who imagine that the ex-Secretary Is
political back number will soon find ou
their mistake.
