New YORK, April 20.-Rumors were
current in the shirt trade yesterday that
Daniel H. Downs, senior partner in the
insolvent firm of Downs 4 Finch, the
head of the fancy shirt business of the
country, had gone to Canada. The books
of the firm are being examined. 1t is
said that the firm sold $243,000 of accom-
mediation paper since September LIST,
1888. tits also said that Downs, who had
charge of the finances of the firm, drew
out nearly $175, 900 from October l, 1888,
to April 5, 1889, the greater part of which
he gave to his wife. 1t is said that he
made deposits in various banks in the
name of D. II. Downs individually, and
made checks against them payable to his
wife, who drew the money. The trans
fer Of the factory at Jamesburg, N. Y,
to Mrs. Downs is said to secure her as
the indorser of the firms paper to large

KICKING CANADIANS
Object to Uncle Sam's Claim to Bel
ring Sea.

TORONTO, April 20.-A special from
Ottawa to the Empire Government or
gam says: Colonel Prior, some day
next week, will initiate discussion in
the House in reference to the Behriug
Sea seizures. The people of British Co.
lumbia are anxious to secure q termina-
ton OF the unpleasantness which has
existed for the last three years, aud until
the question of jurisdiction in BehIipg
Sea is determined, some irritation is
likely to exist. 1t is understood that
negotiations are still in progress on the
subject, and the general belief is that
there will be an international con-
ference to deliberate on the ques-
tion whether or not Behring Sea
is a mare cldusum. The preposterous
claim of the United States to exclusive
jurisdiction in those waters is one which
affects all the great maritime powers.
France, Germany and Italy are almost
as much interested in the question as
Great Britain and Canada, and the sup
port the Governments of these coun-
tries is confidently relied upon to sus-
tain the contention of the Canadian Gov
ernment.
At the present juncture, the Premier
will doubtless not feel justified in speak
ing as openly ON the question as he or
the people Of British Columbia would
like, but doubtless he will be able to
give assurances to the House as
will satisfy the country that the
Government has not been neg
lectful of its duty or of Canadian
interests.
A special from Victoria, B. c., on the
subject says: The seal fishers are going
out armed, and prepared to resist seizure
by American cutters.
The Globe, commenting upon the pos
sibility of q conflict, says: "In order to
obviate this danger, the British Govern
ment should order msn-of-war to pro-
tect the Canadians in Behring Sea, OF
should plainly abandon the apparently
shallow pretense that Great Britain will
stand by Canada's rights against any
American aggression whatever"

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
BERLIN, April 20.-Herbert Bismarck
has prepared statement for the Samoan
conference, as baeis for discussion. II
has been submitted to and approved by
Sir Edward Malet, the British Ambassa'
dor, who was in all probability consulted
while it was being drafted. If the Amer
ican Commissioners accept the statement,
the conference ought not to last more
than week. Germany comedies the
principle of absolute non-interference in
Samoa, and the natives are to be left free
to choose as their ruler Malietos, Tama-
sese, or Mataafa. No claims for com
pensation for German subjects are men
toned in the statement, and, practically,
the work of the conference is limited to
defining explicitly the powers of Consuls
in regulating trade and shipping, the
boundaries of American rights over Pago
Pago and other victualiug stations, and
the formation of tribunal for the pro-
lection and trial of foreigners.
The Foreign Office considers that Bis
marcks censure of Consul Knappe and
his declaration that Germany does not
desire to meddle with the internal affairs
of Samoa, comb ed with the proposals
to be placed before the Samoan confer
ence, furnish ample proof that Germany
earnestly wishes to conciliate the Ameri-
can Government.
At the same time it is regretted that
the American Government ignored diplo-
matte etiquette in sending delegates who
are personally prejudiced on the question
to be laid before the conference. Moth
ing of this feeling, however, will be
shown toward Bates and Sewall, who
will meet with cordial greeting from
Herbert Bismarck on their arrival on
Thursday.
Sir Edward Malet, the British Ambas-
sador here, has asked Lord Salisbury to
send Scott, the British Minister to Ber-
lin, as a delegate to the Samoan confer
ence. Scott was formerly Secretary of
the British Embassy in Berlin, and is
thoroughly conversant with the Samoan
treaties and colonial matters generally.

1AcAhAAhnH OhAy Uhc NtcA 1MOEc.
This grand exhibition, at corner Of
Main and Second streets, begins its third
and last week to-day. During the two
weeks past several thousand people have
visited it, among whom were many
prominent ladies and gentlemen of this
city. An exhibition that gives such uni
versal satisfaction and delight is seldom
found. The beautiful miniature city,
with its great. temples, its dazzling
palaces, built up in bold relief of solid
wood, embellished with marble, alabas-
ter and gold adornments, its mountains,
hills and valleys, made sacred by the
presence of the Savior and His apostles
during the most eventful period of the
world, and scores of interesting scenes
brought to view, with all the characters
animated and moving like living beings
These, accompanied by full descriptive
lectures by the two daughters of Mr..
Miller, the builder, make it a matter of
great interest to all visitors. A practical
sermon and an object lesson from which
old and young can gain many useful
points. Take your family and visit the
