LONDON. Mar. I2-Lord Salisbury has re-
ceiyed. it is stated officially, dispatches Of
very satisfactory character from Sir Julien
Pauncefote relative to the Behring sea nego-
tiations 1t is said that there is every reason
TO anticipate that no further obstruction will
be placed in the way Of unconditional ar
bitration, and that both America and
England will unite in an international ar
rangement for the protection Of seal. The
British Government is semi officially repre-
sented as being anxious 10 put an end tO the
indscriminate slaughter of seal IN Behnng
Sea and there is an evident tOning down IN
the utterances Of the Tory newspapers from
the bris1ing attitude It first assumed on the
subject.
HERR wISDTHoRsT's ILLNESS.
Berlin dispatches state that the Pope has
telegraphed inquiry AS 10 the health Of Herr
Windthorst The condition of the Catholic
leader and the probable effect Of his death.
which. in view Of his advanced age. he being
in his seyenty-ninth year. causes great appre-
hensiOn and excites much discussion. The
Kaiser, Notwithstanding Herr Windthorsts
opposition 10 his naval prospects, "a deeply
concerned. The Kaiser has prded himself on
winning over TO the Imperial cause Herr
Windthorst and his followers, and has con
ceived what appears and IS believed 70 be
sincere attachment for the veteran champion
of the Roman Church.
In all the negotiations for the resumption
of entirely cordial relations between Prussia
and the Papacy Herr Windthorst has been
principally consulted and it was largely due
20 his influence that the govern
ment. at length declared its readiness
to promote a measure for the restoration
10 the Church Of accumulated stipends with
held under the Falk laws. There Is no man
of prominence or influence in the Catholic
party to take his place and this fact makes all
the greater cause for anxiety.
The surviving members Of the deposed
House of Hanover. 10 whom Windthorst has
always been devoted. both before and after
the absorption OF that kingdom by Prussia
has sent repeated inquiries as 10 his condition,
and the aged Queen Marie of that family, who
was rescued from poverty through the inter
cession of Windthorst with the Prussian Gov
eminent, has forwarded her deepest condo
lence.
PARNELL's MANIFESTO.
Mr. Parnoll has made good deal of mystery
over the manifesto which he promises TO issue
10 the world giving reasons for his course IN
Irish affairs 1t is said that he wishes 10 Sc
cure the publication OF manifesto in America
about the same time rs the arrival Of the dep
utation which he has sent 10 that country.
Iarnell mas maze one OF dis Olu-Jlluc ul0dp-
pearances from public view Formerly Cos
Sip used TO connect these disappearances with
Mrs. O'Shea. and when an Irish NJ Z. wanted
70 lind Parnell he usually sought out Mrs.
OShea and obtained her intercessiOn for the
privilege Of an interview There * no pre-
sumption of that kind now. Private Secre-
tary Campbell has disappeared. as well as his
master. and they are both undoubtedly en-
gagged on the manifesto.
