VICTORIA, B. c., Specialize news tele-
graphed from Port Townsend that 9 special
messenger had arrived from Washington
with instructions for the commanders Of
the United States cruisers to proceed to
the Behring sea and seize all vessels found
with any evidence that they had been en-
gagged in the seal fishery causes great indig-
nation. y
At the same time comes the story that the
British squadron has been ordered to rem
devious at Esquimault. The majority Of
the British Columbians, however, believe
that no matter what acts of piracy may be
committed by the Yankees the British war
ships will not interfere. -
For this reason Canadians will take the
matter into their hands and meet force
with force on the high seas. It is known
that the crews of all vessels proceeding to
the sealing grounds were fully armed with
a view OF resisting seizure, but to-day the
story leaked u that two clipper schooners
especially to meet the Yankees.
1t is said that these vessels will each carry
a heavy swivel besides two smaller guns
and disguised as sealers will tempt seizure
SO as to bring on an encounter. Regarding
the story Capt. Scott, q veteran sealer, says
that the report is no doubt true, but that the
matter had been kept secret for fear Of
British Interruption. The Shippers Of the
two vessels in which he was interested had
armed their crews, and before sailing swore
to go to the bottom rather than submit to
seizure.

sion Barge In New York Harbor.
ASTORIA, L. l., Specialize coasting
steamer Eleanora, while bound eastward
through He'll Gate to-day, collided with
the Walter Sands, one of the two barges
dashed together upon which were between
1900 and 1000 men, women and children,
in tow of the tug boat Idlewild. It is al
most a miracle that a terrible disaster and
great loss of life did not follow. For
tunately, however, no one was killed,
though several were injured. Those whose
injuries are most serious, and who were
taken to Bellevue hospital, New York. are:
Henry Elk. cut on the head; Edmund
George Lang, Internal injuries; Mrs. Slattcry,
nose split open; Mrs. Jennings, cut about the
head and face; Willie Jennings, four years old,
badly cut about the body; Mary Smith, cuts on
the head and face; Henry Oxie, cuts and bruises
on head, face and hands
All OF the above reside in Elizabeth, N.
J. About twenty persons in all were in
jured by flying pieces, but all except
those named above were able to 60 to their
homes. Had the steamer struck the barge
more squarely there is no telling
what the result might have been. There
was intense excitement for q few moments.
The women screamed and tainted and the
children joined in with a chorus of cries.
Some half-crazed men wanted to jump into
the water with their families, but the cap
tains of the barges quieted their fears in
measure by assuring them that there was
no further danger.

Financial Difficulties Believed to
Have D~ethroned His Reason.
= TACOMA, Wash. Special Telegram,
The mystery surrounding the motive
for the suicide of r. III. Passmore, cashier
of the Security bank, has been cleared up.
To a gentleman with whom he passed a
portion of the evening previous to his
death, he spoke of being IN Strengthened
circumstances and expressed the hope fer
vently that MI. Boyle, who has rented his
home since Mrs. PASSWORDS absence, would
continue to remain there, as he very much
needed the income derived therefrom. He
has been for some time severely troubled
over his financial affairs, seeing no chance
to recover the losses on his investments,
since those who knew him best and to
whom he naturally looked for pecuniary
assistance had refused him. He evidently
resolved that it was easier to face his God
than his fellowmen. .
Until recently he was possessed of some
means. which he invested in real estate,
principally in Anacerks and Fairhaven.
The property was not bought outright, only
the first payments being made, and the
property not advancing as rapidly as he ex-
pected, the second payments were due, and,
being unable to meet them, his entire for
tune would be swept away unless his friends
would advance him sufficient means to tide
him over. His friends claim to have of
fered the desired assistance, but, if offered,
it did not come with that spontaneity that
inspired. confidence in their promises,
or he would not Immediately there
after have permitted it to weigh SO
heavily on his mind; that when thinking
of his i'll health. that any day the only sup
port of his beloved wife and children might
be taken away, his reason was dethroned
and he took his mad resolve. Passmore was
not of strong mind. The seeds Of insanity
were said to be in the family, and a sister
now living in Milwaukee is under restraint.
That financial distress was the motive
which led to suicide is evidenced by the
fact that he had disposed of his bank stock
and had made several vain appeals for as
sistance.

WAR CLOUD
Important Instructions Sent
to the British Naval 1qua-
drOn in the Pacific Ocean.
Men-of- War Gathering to De.
fend Canadian Sealing
Vessels.

LONDON. special-Thati important i~nstruc-
tons have been sent to the British naval
| squadron in the Pacific is 4 matter of well
authenticated report, but the nature oil
the instructions cannot definitely be ascer-
tanned.
It is understood that the flagship War
spite has been ordered to the Pacific coast
Of British America and that a formidable
array of men-ofwar is to be gathered there
to defend vessels sailing under the English
flag against American attack. How far the
English may be prepared to go is not stated,
but American cruisers conveying prizes to
San Francisco will be very likely to en-
counter English ships of war IN the voy-
age, and probably be asked for explana-
tons.
1t is stated that the American naval force
on the Pacific is insignificant compared
with the British squadron, and that the
English will have no difficulty in sustaining
England's rights, as they are called, in
those waters. A hostile encounter between
British and American war ships would moi
of necessity involve war, but would certain.
ly tend to provoke it. In this connection
Lieut.. Gen. Henry Brackenbury, of the
British army, director Of military intelii-
gence and brother of the late eminent Maj.
Gen. B~rackenbury, is quoted as comment
ing on the recent assertion that Canada
would fall a ready prey in the event of a
