RERlNc SEA sIL,

ssses the English House of Commons
without OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Controver-
sy Probable Before the Matter Reaches
Arbitration.
LONDON, June 6.--During debate on
the Bering sea bill in the house of com
mons, Mr.. Stavely Hill, conservative
member for Staffordshire, opposed the
measure, especially the clause permit
ting the capture of the $500 seals by
United States subjects for the food sup
ply of the Alaskan natives. He moved
that the words 'if Canada con sents" be
added to the clause. He based his OPP
position upon the facts and arguments
contained in communication from Can
ada which he had read
Right Hon. w. H. Smith, for the gov
ernment, opposed Mr.. Hills amend
ment on the ground that the consent of
Canada to the proposed legislation had
already been ob.dlned. Ht.
Mr.. Hill stated that in view of this
statement he would withdraw his
amendment. The bill was then passed.
Mr.. Sexton called attention to the
fact, which he hoped the government
duly appreciated, that the speedy dispo-
sition of the bill had been made posi-
BILE by the forbearance of the Irish
members in offering no opposition.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-There is a fair
prospect for another controversy in the
Bering sea matter be fore it reaches ar
bitration, and there are obst acles vet
to overcome before an agreement can
be reached for a closed season. The bill
passed by the house of comm ons con-
fers authority upon the queen to issue
a proclamation prohibiting British sub
jects from taking seals during a certain
period. but the issuance of this procla-
nation is dependent upon the disposi-
tion of the queen-or rather of Lord
Salisbury.
The British COVE rnment, it is under
stood, will insist that the United States
shall be pledged to pay B ritish subjects
for losses sustained thro ugh the depri-
walton of sealing privileges during the
closed season, if the contentious of the
United States are not sustained by ar
bitration. On the other hand the Brit
ish government will probably agree to
pay damages to the American company
in case different decision is reached.
OF course, the president can give nc
such pledge for payment of damages,
that being matter that congress alone
can deal with. Congress not being in
session, this question complicates the
situation and it is doubtful how the mat
ter will be settled.

REDUCING THE FORCE.


One Thousand Census Employees VIII Have
to Go by July Funds Running Low.
WASHINGTON, June S.-There is con-
sternation in the various branches of
the census Office. 1t grows out of the
fact that the money appropriated to
carry on the work is running so low
that it has become necessary to reduce
the force. 1t is limited that between now
and July the force is to be reduced at
least one thousand, which takes in quite
a large number of the original appoint
ees and nearly all of those who were
recently given three months appoint
ment. This information was generally
impaired by chief clerk Childs, on being
asked to transfer anumber of the clerks
to the regular list or reappoint them for
another three months term. He replied
that it was impossible to do so and that
on the expiration of the time there
would not be any new ones appointed.
The work is nowhere near completion
and it is only thought possible by work.

December it would all be up in shape.
This state of affairs will deia.- the work

New YORK, June 6.-For three hours
yesterday afternoon the directors of the

session discussing the case of DIR. Briggs.
A resolution was adopted at the meet
ing upholding the former action of the
directors regarding the transfer of DIR.
ship of Hebrew to the new.Edward Rob-
inson professorship of biblical theology.
The resolution was as follows:
Resolved, That the board ofSdirectors
after having taken legal advice and
after due consideration, see no reason
to change their minds on the subject of
the transfer of DIR. Briggs and feel
bound in the direction of their duty
under their charter and constitution to
adhere to the same.
This is ALL" said Treasurer Kings
ley, that we can make public of the
meeting, with the exception that there
were two dissenting votes upon the pas
sage of the resolution. The otherpoints
raised are deferred until after we hear
from the general assembly"

The directors of the seminary express
ignorance as to the duties of the COM
mittee of fifteen appointed by the gen.

now in the face of the present action of
the seminary directors that the visit of

GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY.

Formed to Break a. t. Stewards VILLA
Syndicate Backing the Irish Complain
ants.
New YORK, June s.-Some of the
most startling disclosures ever made in
relation to any of the seemingly endless
litigat;ons over A. 7. Stewards millions
are promised in relation to the suit
brought by the Irish claimants to re-
cover their alleged portion of the dead
merchants fortune.
These disclosures were summed up
Saturday IN the announcement that
syndicate, composed of men in this
city and Boston, has been formed for
the purpose of pushing the claims of
the Irish claimants, and that the men,
bers of the syndicate are bearing and
will bear all the expenses of the litiga-
tion, merely as speculation, hoping to
be recompensed should the contest be
successful. Further it was said that
this syndicate has been selling stock at
the rate of 81, 500 for every $50, 900 that
may be recovered if the will is broken.
That is, for every 81, 500 put up by the
spectators $4,000 will come back to
them if the will is broken.
Counsel for ex-Judge Hilton are au-
-thority for these startling announce
ments, and they say that on Friday
next they will disclose to Judge La
combe in the United States circuit court
the gigantic conspiracy on the part Of
the syndicate. They also say that Will
liam P. Smith, formerly Mrs Stewards
coachman and beneficiary by her will
to the extent of 500, 600, is in collusion
with the members of the syndicate in
