LoaDoN. May pa measure Of the i'm
portance of the Boring Sea bill is rarely
read the first time in the House of Com
mons without the ministers affording the
House fuller particulars than they vouch-
safed to-day regarding Its provisions. The
members listened with strained attention
70 Mr.. Smith. expecting TO learn the terms
Of the agreement with the Washington
Government. and great was their disap-
pointment when he stopped short after ut
tering the formal request for permission 10
bring in bin 70 enable the Queen by an order
In Council 20 make a special provision 20 pro-
hlbit the catching Of seals In Boring Sea by her
haiesty's subjects during period named In the
order. Questions put 70 ministers in the
lobby elected nothing beyond the statement
that they are awaiting the fnal responses from
Washington. Mr.. Smith has only vouchsafed the
assurance that the arrangement already secured
harmOnizes the action of tho British Govern
ment with that Of the American Government.
Other ministerial members express themselves
as certain that tho measure will meet with no
adverse criticism either In the House or In the
country and that IL will lead TO n permanent set
Element Of the dispute Though the period OF
prohibition IL understood 70 DO one year, the
elastic nature Of an order In Council will en-
power the Government 70 make a further extern
sion. So many members were discussing the sit
uation in the Hobbies and in the smoking-rOom
that the House could not proceed with business,
and IL was counted out early In the evening.
THE NEWFOUNDLAND DIFFICULTY.
Although Lord Salisbury told the House Of
Lords tonight that the French Government
would accept the suspension Of the Newfound-
land bill uneasiness prevails in the Foreign
ONCE regarding NJ. RbOts exact view Of the
practical abandonment Of measure which
Salisbury IL pledged to pass. Minsterialists do
not consider the Newfoundland difficulty by any
means settled, though they admit that the dis
pute between the home Government and the
colony Is for a time eased. Lord Salisbury spoke
with hesitancy on the situation. He declared
that the House OF Commons Was now pledged 20
support any future legislation necessary TO
carry out the treaty obligations, but he added
that as 20 the immediate result Of the proceed
ing Of the House Of Commons he must speak
with reserve, as he did not know how the French
Government might view II.

The ParDellltes hear that their chief will wed
Mrs. OShea before the Registrar about the
middle of June. IL IL not true that her dauRh-
tiers will remain with her. Captain O'Shea con-
trolls the family. His son Gerald is about 10 be
gazetted TO a commission In the army. Captain
O'shea does not In the mean time prohibit inter-
course between the mother and the daughters
They reside only three miles apart M Brighton,
and the Captain permits the daughters 20 visit
their mother frequently, but after her marriage
with Mr.. ParneU ~ ELECTED, all relations viii
cease.
THE JEWISH PROBLEM.
Mr.. Gladstones suggestions towards remedy
ing the persecution Of the Russian Jews strong
ly disappOint the community. His letter on the
subject ignores the fact that the Russo-,J ewish
committee has already taken the exact course
he suggested. Alta meeting Of ChOyeye Zion
lists the speakers declared that facts were known
which justified the action Of the European gov
crnments, that a crisis had been reached, and
that time was precious Lord Rothschild had
presented a memorial TO Lord Salisbury, asking
the British Government 10 initiate concerted
action by the Powers TO assist tho wholesale
emigration OF jews 10 Palestine. The ROths-
childs, the Goldsmids. and all the leading Jews
OF England concur in the opinion that settle
ment Of the Jews I'm Palestine Is the best
plan. The aim TO obtain European recognition
Of n great wave Of emigration a. necessary to the
solution Of the Jewish problem. Baron Hirsch,
though having schemes of his own, supports the
English plan TO operate through diplomatic cham
nels Lord Salisbury, leaving the usual oficial
channels, Is reported as writing directly 20 the
heads Of the European governments commend
ing TO their consideration the ROthschild memo
rial.
