LONDON, May 2S.-ln the house of COM
mons William Henry Smith, in regard to
Newfoundland. said that on the promise of
Newfoundland delegates that II bill would
be passed to carry out the modus vivendi
and the award of the arbitration commission
under the modus vivendi agreement, the
government proposed that the knutsford
bill should be read the second time, which
Mr.. Smith hoped would be without oppo-
SitiOn, and the government would agree to
postpone the next stage Of the bill for three
weeks Smith added If the colonial legis-
lature passed such measure as the one
promised by the delegates, the government
would withdraw the knutsford bill. Smith
then moved the second reading of the last
mentioned measure.
Sir William Vernon Hareourt deprecated
the course which the government had
adopted in not allowing the question to be
settled without insisting upon reading the
knutsford bill for the second time. The
same speaker also protested against the
manner in which the colonial office had
treated the Newfoundland delegates.
James Allen Picton, Liberal member for
Leicester. ridiculed the idea of passing Il
measure which was to be superseded by
another bill. He therefore moved that the
debate be adjourned. Lost, Yeas, 122 ;

James Bryce, Liberal member for the
south division of Aberdeen, moved that the
house having been informed that the
Newfoundland legislature had passed
a satisfactory act declaring its
readiness to support measures
necessary to carry out the treaty obliga-
tons and the award of the arbitration COM
miSSionerS. there was no necessity TO pro-
coed with the second reading of the knuts-
ford bill
William Henry Smith accepted this, and

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-As stated in these

concerning close season in Behring sea
are still open. Revenue cutter Corwin is
ready TO SAL, if need be- at any time 10 con-

from Western Alaska on her
last trip eastward 10 testify in
the Federal court in the important
case there pending. She Will also load up
with supplies for relief stations along the

and will carry the Russell exploring party

ditiou they arc to make under the auspices

ing completed her other work, she will
come back to the Seal Islands and see
whether other instructions are awaiting
her there. She may stay some months Of

hood if alarming reports Of danger of an
attack from piratical craft proves to have

TUE STORY Is THAT PIRATES

with abundant arms, are likely at any time
TO attack the islands after they are de-
serted by the majority OF the whites, who
are there for the sealing season. There re-
main after winter sets in only TWO or three
whites on the islands, and the natives are
too cowaidly 10 make any effective de-
Tense.
As there are usually some thousands Of
skins taken from the seals which have been
killed for food, this would nakea good haul

been made, but some alarm is felt and it
may be thought best TO leave the Bear ut

BIaine's Future,
Special TO the Gazette.

Spectral 10 the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Speculation here
about Blaine's illness and his probable
future programme still continues. That he
has been very sick man Is now confessed.
and even if he remains in the cabinet it is
confidently asserted he will not be permit
ted by his physicians TO apply himself to
business in the future as diligently as here
tofore. The discouraging feature Of the
case is that Blaine's trouble grows little
more unrulv. His govt year or two ago
could be conquered in few days, now it
successfully resists treatment for weeks.
That is a bad sign
The retirement of Blaine from the cabi-
net because of ill-health would mean his re-
tirement from the political field, perhaps
permanently. Ii would certainly result in
taking him out of the list of presidential
possibilities for the next year
THE QUESTION OF LIVELY INTEREST
here IS as to who would be likely TO sue
coed 10 the portfolio OF the state depart
ment in case Blaine should lay it down Col.
John w. Foster stands very near the presi-
dent, and is man of much experience in
diplomatic affairs. He is, perhaps, after
Blaine, the best read MAN in diplomatic
correspondence in the country. But Col.
Foster Is an lndianian, and Indiana already
has representation in the cabinet. That
would probably initiate against him.
The name of Senator Sherman is thought
TO be the strongest of all for the place. The
difficulty in Shernlau's case, however, is
that he might not care to leave the senate
for the cabinet

turns to the comptroller Of currency and
embezzlement of S100,0 600 and upwards OF

with Francis Kennedy to make
false entries, false returns and
with making both. When the two
accused men heard that warrants were out
for their arrest. they at once went before
United States Commissioner Bel and gave
themselves into custody. Counsel for the
hennedys state that they were willing to
waive hearing and enter bonds for their
appearance at court. Commissioner Bell
declined to allow them to waive hearing
and fixed the bail of Francis Kennedy at
$50, 900, and that of Henry Kennedy at $15,-
coo for appearance on Monday next. The
