Copyrighted, 1891 IA measure of the
Importance of the Bering sea bill is rarely
read the first time in the commons with
out the ministers affording the house
ruler particulars than they vouchsafed
today regarding its provisions. The mem
pers hstened with strained attention to
smith, expecting to learn the terms of the
agreement with the Washington City gov
ernment, and great was their disappoint-
ment when he stopped short after uttering
formal request for permission to bring in
Dill to enable the queen by an order in
council to make special provision to pro-
hibit the catching of seals in Bering sea by
her maJesty's subjects during the period
named In the order. Questions put to the
ministers in the lobby elected nothing but
statement that they are awaiting final
response from Washington City. Smith
only vouchsafed an assurance that the ar
rangement already secured harmorizes
the action of the British government with
that OF the American government Other
MINISTERIAL members express themselves
as certain that the measure will meet with
no adverse criticism either in the house
ana country, and will lead to permanent
settlement of the dispute
Though the period of prohibition is un-
derstood to be one year, the elastic nature
OF an order in council will empower the
government to make further extension.
WASHINGTON Cry, May 29.-Although
1t is the belief of officers of the state and
treasury department that sufficient time
yet remains in which to pass an act of
parliament and effectually put in operation
close season, contrary opinion is taken
OF the situation by some other persons, who
say that the effort now being made was be-
gun too late. This opinion is largely based
on Canadian opposition, and possibility
that Canadian influence may be strong
enough to delay parliament's action. Not
withstanding the Salisbury decree for
close season, it is understood Salisbury
himself, through Pauncefote, has ex-
pressed to this government doubt as to his
ability to prevent operations by sealing
vessels already fitted out and in Bering
sea prepared for work.
OTTAWA, May 29.-The Dominion fish
cries report for 1890 shows that 54,s53 seals
were caught in Bering sea and adjoining
waters.

THE CANADIAN PACIFIC WRECK.
Only Two Men Were Killed at Revel-
stoke-Property Loss Small.

VANCOUVER, B. G., May 29-fSpecial. IAN ac-
cident occurred on the Canadian Pacific railroad
near RevelstoKe Wednesday, in which fireman
was killed. A small wooden bridge, hardly
more than a culvert, was burned down. and
coming over the road on down grade freight
train and engine were derailed. Brakeman
Tenny died last night from injuries received.
The engineer had his leg broken, but 1t is doing
well. At first the accident was reported as being
a very serious one, but full details which have
since come to hand show that titwas not so as only
four cars of the twenty-four in the train were
derailed.

Lynchers Said to Have Confessed.

PORTLAND, May 29.-ISpecial. The one
topic of general interest here at present is
the question of consolidation. The cleo
ton takes place Monday, and it will then
be decided whether or not Portland will
jump from city of 1900 to city of
$1,000. If consolidation carries the Port
land boundaries will include the cities of
East Portland and Albina and the towns
OF st. Johns, Sunnyside, Portsmouth,
Piedmont, South Portland, Woodlawn
and Fulton Park. For the past three
weeks mass-meetings have been held in
different parts of the cities every night,
and the greatest possible enthusiasm has
been aroused.
For while it was thought that the only
way consolidation could be defeated was
by ballot-box stuffing and repeating, but
today an entirely new stratagem was un-
earthed in the camp of the enemy. 1t
has been figured out that only 5,490 votes
can be cast If the voters deposit their bal
lots all day at the rate of three votes to the
minute.
There are only three polling places in
Portland proper by the provisions of the
consolidation bill. Heretofore there have
been from five to seven. The voting
population of the city is from
5000 to 10000, SO it is seen
that not much more than half
vote can be cast, even if the ballots are
deposited at the rate of three a minute for
ten hours without interruption. The ruse
of the Observation-Disclosures is to get 300 or
400 of their men in line at each polling
place early in the morning, and after all
their men are voted obstruct consolidation
by challenging voters. This is perfectly
legal, and is the greatest fear of those fa-
voring consolidation. The consolidation
forces are SO we'll organized that it will be
difficult to defeat consolidation by any
other trickery or fraud.
