AMUSEMENT NOTES.
BoIossy KiraIfy's Spectacle OF the " Waite
Queen" at the Bush.

BoIossy KiraIfy's Spectacle OF the " Water
Queen" at the Bush.
After being delayed one day by weather
trouble, the Water Queen" company ar
rived yesterday, and opened last evening at
the Bush-street Theater to a fair audience
in point of numbers. The spectacle, as
manipulated by the Kirafy tact for display
aud effects, retains many of the features OF
the fine old "Naiad Queen" piece, from
which it is drawn; but 1t is not so rich III
dramatic incident, nor are the people en-
gagged in it so thoroughly mp TO the working
out of the features OF the Undine" legend
from which the idea originated. Egbert the
Bold (Mr. Frederick de Nere) has compara-
lively little to do, and his servant, Ernest
(Nr J. e. Slavin), which used TO lie broad,
facy, unctu0us sample of low comedy,
has been cut, restrained and desiccated
till the character is as dry as a
remainder biscuit. after long voyage. In
exchange Tor the old enjoyable moreeaux
which the "Nalad Queen" possessed before
the Kiralfy hand touched it, we have many
mediocre dances, and songs without merit
and without voice. Some of the speciaItieS
are sketched out as tme-tillers till they be-
come tedious. The bar performance, for
instance, in the second act, by I. 5. Dare
and L. II. Thurber, though 1t must be con-
fesSed, at the same time, that it is the best,
and, on tie part of Dare, the most effective
aud graceful example of that kind of gym
nastic exercise we have seen IN this city Tor
many years. Dage is as perfect in figure as the
Greek Aatinous, and as flexible in action rs if
he had no bones in his body. He Is q pict-
ure to weary in their conceit the best Of our
Oympians. His colleague is also remark
able in his eccentric way. But the act is so
long that it cuts out the heart of the pro-
gramme. The skirt-dancing is another feat
ure on viii h great reliance is placed, Mile.
Konradt eXcellng in this. There is also
skirt quartet, which is pretty incident; in
fact, the saltatoral element, TO which Mrs.
Arnold Kiralfy contributes, is largely in
excess all through the present version OF the
spectacle. Taking the programme as
whole, 1t affects one as an echo of one of the
Kiralfy grand and pretentious works, or
selection from it, lightly thrown together
for road purposes. The same bill will be
offered this evening.

THE VAGRANT BILL.
There was an animated debate in the As
sembly over De Longs vagrant bill. Shana-
han opposed the bill. II passed it would
not only affect tramps but legislators. Seri-
ously. he was opposed to any bill that pro-
Ylded that any unfortunate human being
might be imprisoned without committing
any crime. He believed the passage of tie
law would prove an incentive to crime.
Poor men driven into jail two or three times
by this bill would soon be tempted to take
shotgun and turn hlghwaymen. Many
labOrers are compelled to tramp from place
to place looking for work, and the passage
Of this law would place them at the mercy
Of money-making Constables and iuries.
Moreover, lie held that poor and lazy men
have just as much right to refuse to work as
rich and lazy men have.
Mccall said the bill interfered with indi-
vidual rights and moved to strike out the
enacting clause.
Phillips said if the bill were killed the idle
and dissolute in cities could not be reached
The only difference between this law and

MOTHER SEALS DO NOT EAT WHILE

An Important Natural History Discovery
Made by the British Bsring Sea Com
missioners-One of Blaine's Strongest
Arguments Knocked Galley West.

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. Sword is re-
ceiyed here by the department of ma
rine and fisheries from Victoria, 3. c.,
that II. NJ. s. Pheasant brought news
from Bering sea of the movement of
Powell and Dawson, the British COM
missioners investigating the seal fishery
question. They are at present on board
the steamer Danube, and have been
from the Commander islands, in Rus
sian waters, to West Bering sea. They
obtained from the Russian authorities
permission to visit these islands in or
der to study the movements of seals and
to discover what truth was in the theory
that in seasons when seals are plentiful
on st. George, st. Pauts and other
islands on the eastern side of Bering
sea, they are scarce on the Commander
islands, and vice versa.
This season seals are plentiful at the
breeding island and fully half a million
seals were in sight there at one time.
at st. Georges, however. the number
was not so great. 1t was found by fas-
tening chips to the tails of young seals
| that they do not remain in the vicinity

to side of Bering sea.
| The Pheasant brings the report that
several female seals were killed during
the sucking season, by the commission
ers, and their stomachs were found to
contain nothing but little sea weed and
pebbles. 1t is an important point, and
one on which the commissioners re-
ceived special instructions.
During the last conferences at Wash
ington, Secretary Blaine held that the
most serious reason for stringent restric-
tions on the taking of seals in Bering sea
was that mother seals, which during the
sucking season swan fifty miles every
day to the feeding grounds, would be
| taken in great numbers, and the young
seals which they left on the shore would
perish unless the mother seals were pro-
tected. He said the race of seals would
! thus be exterminated.
Sir Charles Tupper argued against
this that as matter OF fact the mother
seals never left their young in the suck
ling season, during which time the
mothers took no food at all.
Secretary Blaine ridiculed this idea
as one unheard of in natural history,
but Sir Charles pointed out that the
seal as alternating animal had store
of food on which it could we'll subsist
for long time.
The report that the stomachs of the
mother whale were found empty bears
out Tupper's statement.
The steamer Danube is expected at
| Victoria before the end of the week
