deserted. The fitting of the members
of the Ministry in and out of the Chamber the
earnest consultations and the awe-stricken faces
of the advisers of the First Minister gave cause
for great alarm. The House continued sitting,
but all interest gone. Everyone
looked with feveush anxiety 70 the
Treasury benches for fresh information. Shortly

Chamber. His face bore traces of great mental
suffering. hurried consultation with the other

FROM WASHINGTON.
London, May 29.-William Henry Smith, the
First Lord of the Treasury, to-day introduced IN
the House of Commons the bill prepared by the
Government prohibiting British subjects from
catching seals in the Behring Sea for certain
period, the duration Of which, hewever, is not
given in the bill.
Mr.. Bryce asked if the Government, in view
of the second reading OF the Behring Sea bill
being fixed for Monday, would distribute the
latest papers sn reference to the negotiations with
the United States.
Mr.. Smith answered that the Government would
do so if the United States Government assented
He added that the Government had oabed to
Washington asking the assent of the unlted
States Government.
measure Of the Importance Of the Behring
Sea bill is rarely read the first time In the House
of Commons without the Ministers affording the
House fuller particulars than they vouchsafed To-
day regarding its provisions. The members
listened with strained attention TO Mr.. smith, eN-
pecting to learn the terms of the agreement with
the Washington Government, and great was their
disappointment when he stopped short after utter
ing the formal request for permission to bring in
a bill to enable the Queen, by an order In Council
TO make special provision to prohibit the catch

tions put TO Ministers in the lobby eloited nothing
beyond the statement that they are awaiting the
final responses from Washington.
Mr. Smith has only given the assurance that
the arrangement already secured harmenizes the
action of the British Government with that of the
American Government Other Ministerial mem
bers express themselves as certain that the meas
ure will meet with adverse criticism. either In
the House or in the country. and that 1t will lead
TO permanent settlement of the dispute. Though
the period of prohibition is understood to be one
year. the elastic nature of order in Council will
empower the Government 10 make further eX-
tension. So many members were discussing the
situation in the lobbies and in the smoking room
that the House could not proceed with business.
and it was counted out early in the evening.
