What the ENJOYS of the Congressionalists
Expect From This Government
WASHINGTON, June 27.-DOn Pedro Montt
and his associates. representing the Chilean
Congressional party, made no effort to-day to
meet the President, Acting Secretary of State
Wharton or any of the Government officials.
and have so far given no official notice Of
their presence in Washington or their mis-
sion TO the United States. Their position
makes necessary extreme delicacy and the
exercise of tact in their efforts to establish
communication with the officials of this
Government The principal ADVANTAGE ex-
pected To accrue from their recognition as
belligerents is rather of negative character,
as it would not involve the allowance Of the
right of the Congressional party 10 buy arms
and recruit men in the United States, but
would prevent the Balmaceda Government
from exercising this right as it may now,
and would thus place both factions on an
equality.
The Bureau of American Republics has
received information that the republic of
Chile has organized new cabinet, las follows:
Interior, Espinosa; Foreign Affairs and
Worship, Aldunate; Justice and Public
Instruction. Concha; Finance, Zanartu !;

had been opened. All of his money,
valuabes and papers were gone. He was
not bound. as his captors evidently thought
the drug enough. He managed to stop the
bleeding and get back to the hotel. when the

He Finds Local HabitatiOn in British
Columbian Waters.
Mr.. John MeNabb, Fisheries Inspector,
has been giving some attention to the young
Holsters brought from Keats Island by Mr..
Andrew Mclaughlin and which have been
mentioned several times in these columns.
From careful researches ana comparisons
be has reached the conclusion that the lob
sters discovered are of the spiny variety
and not the American lobster, as was at
first supposed. 1t was not known that the
spiny lobster had ever found its way north
OF Point Conception, on the southern coast
of California, and the discovery Of these
crustacea in British Columbia waters will
be surprise to the recognized authorities
in such matters The spiny lobster is con-
sidered more delicate eating than either the
American or European varieties and they
happen to be discovered in great numbers,
new and most valuable industry will
shortly be developed. MIR. McNabb will
take steps Immediately to secure several
full grown specimens of these Holsters,
which the Indians frequently catch, weigh
ing as much as four pounds When he has
completed the necessary investigations the
matter will be officially reported to Ottawa
and the department will doubtless take
steps to have the watels along the coast
thoroughly explored. - New Westminister
