Report That the United states Has Receded
From Its Position.
LONDON, July 1.-The comments of
the American press on the attitude of
Great Britain in regard to the Behring
sea controversy are exciting much in
terest in ENGLAND. Whatever may
be said in Washington, there is ex-
cellent authority in London for
stating that the British Government
did determine, and formally notified the
American Government of it's detcrrnina-
ton, that the proceedings which charac-
terized the seal fishery season of 1889
would not be tolerated this year. 1t is
true that no threats were made, but the
significance of the language Used could
not be misunderstood.
England recognizes no analogy be-
tween the Canadian claim to exclusive
fishing rights in Canadian waters and
the assertion of exclusive title by
America to Behring sea- The selection
of Rear Admiral Holtham to command
the British squadron in the North Pa
cific squadron was made with view to
the possible gravity of the situation,
and his flagship, the Warsprite, is one
of the finest vessels in the navy.
1t is now stated that the United States
Government has practically yielded to
British representations and that, pend
ing the decision of the Behring sea
question, there will be no very serious
enforcement of American claims; that
the Canadian sealers which do not poach
on recognized American preserves will
not be pounced upon simply because
they are in the disputed limits This
will avert any cause for interference by
| the feet of Great Britain.

LAKE CITY, Mimi, July 15.-The
storm which resulted in such great loss
of life in Lake sPepin. opposite the
western end of this little town, was a
straight wind blowing at terrific rate
of speed and it completely overpowered
the excursion steamer Sea King, pre-
viously telegraphed Sea Wing
Lake Pepin, an expansion of the Mis-
sissippi. is about thirty miles long and
extends east and west The steamer
was returning from the camp of the
Minnesota National Guards with a
party of Red Wing people and was steam
ing in the teeth of the wind. The gale
was too much for the steamer and the boat
was fast getting beyond control when
Captain Wethern tried to save the lives
of his passengers by running the boat
aground on the Wisconsin shore, but as
soon as the vessel turned around little
to the force of the wind, it was seized
by strong grip and it was impossible
for the engines to right it. The boat
was turned over and quickly scores of
people were struggling in the waves.
from which many of them may never be
recovered.
The vessel tried to regain its right
position but quickly was seized once
more and a second overturn ng upset
nearly ali of those still clinging to the
wreck. A few reached the shore, but
the most closed theiFeyes under water.
At 1920 the bodies of a woman and
child, to which ropes had been at.
tached, were drawn from the water.
The child was the daughter of John
Winters, of Red Wing. Fred Sewers,
blacksmith, was taken out few min
utes later. That makes a total of sixty
five bodies, already found, or probably
about half the total number drowned.
1t was stated that TO keep the water
out of the cabin and to keep the people
under shelter. Captain Wethern had
locked the door of the cabin. If this is
true, it-may expfain much of the loss OF
life. although the loss would still have
