BUFFALO. July "a big beefsteak. a dozen

cigars which Ike O'Neil Weir INDUCED in to-
day effectually queered him with Buffalo men
who were inclined to back him in his fight
for $1,000 tonight with Prof. James Corners
OF the Buffalo Athletic Club
Weir was known to be broke financially, and
as Corners had repeatedly refused to fight him
at 120 pounds, shrewd sports thought that a
fake might be attempted. They argued
that Conners who had his livelihood and repu-
tation here at stake, might make it an object
for Weir to lose on q foul or in some such way.
Weirs beer and cigars training to- day helped
out that idea but the facts were not known in
time to affect the betting which was pretty
even. About $1,000 was up in small bets. the
largest being $500.
The Erie County Athletic Club rooms were
crowded with nearly 1900 $5-apiece young
men, who began to get seats in the amateur
puRalory when the doors opened at $50. Just

OTTAWA. July S.A special meeting OF the
CABINET was held here this afternoon. 1t was
called for the purpose OF considering the crlti-
cal turn affairs have taken with regard to me-
gotiations in connection with the Behring Sea
difficulty. A member OF the Cabinet eaid to-
night that tho report that negotiations had
broken down was untrue, rs they wore still
going on. AS to their nature he could say
nothing beyond tho fact that the Government
still Ind hopes that some understanding would
yet be reached.
Tho Government have great apprehensions
that serious complications may yet arise before
settlement is reached The British Govern
mont have informed the Governor General
that they will stand by Canada and protect
her sealing vessels In Behring Sea from seizure
by United States cruisers II the fleet now con-
gregatlng at Victoria has to DO despatched for
that PURPOSE.
Sir John Thompson. Minister OF Justice ar
rirod In London yesterday. and will at once
confer with tho British Government on the
subject.
An officer OF the Government said to-day
that the United Statos authorities believed
they could do as they liked, as England would
not interfere. Now that England has taken n
stand and concentrated tho largest fleet at Vic
TORN that has ever been In tho Pacific 1t re-
mains to be seen whether Secretary Blaine
will hold to his contention as to the United
States jurisdiction in BehrinG Sea and seize
Canadian sealers in face OF the stand
Great Britain has taken. Less provocation
he said. has often precipltated two friendly
nations into war. and II the United States do
not recede from the arbitrary position they
have assumed. history may again repeat ITSELF
and tho United States and Great Britain may
once moro have occasion to test the strength
OF their naval and military force The first
seizure. It Is believed. will be the signal for o
formidable protest from Great Britain.

had been twisted around his head in such a

him. His coat was caught and torn on the

was knotted and twisted In evidence OF the
struggles he must have made to loose himself
from the death grasp. new linen collar was
torn in two pieces. his shirt was badly torn.
and several triangular rents in tho left leg OF
death.
The dead man was about SO years old. He
wore q walters Jacket and in his pocket wore

doned, they would so prolonE debate upon the
Tariff bill that no vote could DO had for many
long weeks, II at all. Tho Republicans appre-
ciated the fact that the Democrats held tho
whip hand and they surrendered.
The members of the Finance Committee havo
boon very much worried at tho strong onposi-
