THOMPSON is THE MAN.
Nearly All the Conservatives Want Him
TO Succeed Macdonald.


OTTAWA, june 9-The political situa-
tion Is beginning to assume definite shape.
Sir John Thompson is the almost unani-
nous selection of the Conservative mem
bers OF the commo2s and senate for pre-

urged for the position, has stated that he

is possible. The cabinet will be recon
structed and the strongest men are to be
taken from each province.
II will in all probability be composed
of Thompson, from Nova Scotia; Foster,
from New Brunswick; Chapleaa and
Langevin, from Quebec, and Dalton, Nc
Carthy or Meredith, and Bowel, from
Ontario
Sir John Macdonalds remains lie in the
great dining hall at EarnsclifTe. The
casket stands on a pedestal in the center
OF the room, aud all OF the appointments
are most imposing Lady Macdonald has
somewhat recovered from the prostration
consequent upon her husbands death

they left the council chamber in carriages
for Earnscliffe to view the remains Of the

LONDON, June 9.--In the house Of lords
Lord Salisbury moved the second reading
Of the bill TO enable her majesty, by order
in council, 20 make special provision for
prohibiting the catching OF seals in Beh-
ring sea by her majesty's subjects during
the period named In the order In speak
ing 20 his motion Lord Salisbury said that
the Behring sea measure WAS intended to
settle differences between the United
States and Canada The long pending diff
ferences upon the claims Of the United
States TO stop the hunting Of seals In Beh-
ring sea had been agreed upon in principle
and referred 20 arbitration. lie hoped the
terms Of arbitration were also almost
agreed upon.
The object OF the Bin.
There was reason to apprehend that, IL
no restrictions were placed on the destruc-
tion OF seals while the arbitration was
pending, a serious II not fatal blow might
be inflicted upon the valuable industry in
the United States Therefore it had been
agreed TO forbid the killing Of seals on
islands in those parts Of Behring sea
within their jurisdiction, provided her
majesty's government also prevented seal
killing by British subjects II seemed to
her majesty's government that they would
justly incur the censure not only OF the
United States but Of the civilized world if
they risked they extinction OF this valuable
industry.
Therefore they had introduced the pres
ent measure, which enabled her majesty's
government by an order in council to for
bid the killing Of seals in Behring sea by
British subjects
Canada Had Consented.
To this Canada consented on two condf
tions First, That the arbitration should
proceed: second, that compensation be paid
to the owners OF fishing vessels sustaining
loss through this action OF the British gov
ernment. Who was TO pay this compensa-
tion was a more difficult question. Her
maJesty's government did not deny that il
compensation had 10 be paid part should
fall upon England; but they were not in
clined TO admit that the whole should be
borne by England, I'D a~,
Whether they would persuade the Cana
dian government 10 take part over he
did not know, but IL was impossible to de-
fer action until the difficulty was solved:
therefore the government had, in the first
instance, assumed liability, which could
not In any case be heavy.
The Bill Passed.
Lord Kimberley Q.iberaD had no crili-
cism to offer against the bill and expressed
satisfaction that there was every prospect
OF closing a long controversy with the
United States
lnresponse TO an inquiry from Lord Dun
raven, Lord Salisbury snid he believed that
Russia was favorable to the British views
on the subject and would adhere 10 the
suspension OF the staying of seals At the
conclusion Of the prime minister remarks
the bill was passed.

bank took from the Lucas estate the JOAN
Z. Lucas building and seashore property,
he endeavored 10 get me to buy one or
other or both these properties. He pressed
me TO loan my paper for use at the clear
ing house TO recover other collaterals
pledged there. all OF which declined. His
chief argument was thct II the bank did
not go on, the stock of the bank that /
held as collateral would be worthless He
stated that IL It proved that any Of the
stock in my hands was not properly issued,
he believed that he could get stock from
others and make it right.
II guessed he meant the stock held by

stock, but wanted the Lucas estate TO set

evidence of the indebtedness OF the Lucae

Marsh, early in the bank troubhss. Had
the confession not been made IL would
be impossible to have ascertained Il from
