His Office.
England Comes Down.

State Department tonight that a
dispatch had been received to-day
from Lord Salisbury in reply to
the note of the President of the
18th instant. The contents are
not known, but there is excellent
ground for believing that the re-
ply contains an offer on the part of
the British Premier to consent to a
compromise which will, in effect,
embrace a modus vivendi differing
but slightly from that agreed to a
year ago and enforced during the
past season.
The officials of the Treasury De-
partment are waiting with some
impatience the determination of
the matter, as the entire fleet of
revenue cutters is ready to sail for
Behring sea, but cannot leave ow-
ing to the fact that sailing instruc-
tions have not yet been formulated.
Silver to the Front.
WASHINGTON. March 20.-This
week will probably be the most ex-
citing of the present session of
Congress, so far as the House is
concerned, as on Tuesday the silver
debate will begin, and vote is
now expected to be reached on
Thursday. Tomorrow is suspen-
sion day and it is supposed that
several important bills will be
passed under the two-thirds rule
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day will be devoted to the consid-
Grafton of the Bland Free Coinage
Silver bill. On these days the
House will meet at II o'clock, with
a recess from 5 until s, and adj
journ at Top. NJ. unless change
in the programme occurs.
Canadian Pacific Strike.
WINNIPEG, March 20.-The Cana
dian Pacific strike has taken a
more serious phase tonight, owing
to the fact that the engineers
threatened to go out, as they object
to carrying "scab" crews. Also
come reports of trouble on the
Pacific and Western divisions,
those here exists. The result of
the interview which the engineers
had with Superintendent White is
kept secret. Since Tuesday all
trains on the Pacific Division have
been run by the superintendent
and other officials acting as con-
ductors and brakemen. Special
constables have been sworn in to
protect the company's property.
Interest was centered here to-day
in the arrival of Chief Clark of the
Order of Conductors. The effect OF
the strike is already being felt in
business circles.
Scottish Home Rule.
LONDON, March 19.-All the Lib
eral members from Scotland and
many English members, including
some Conservatives, approve bill
introduced in Parliament to-day
for the creation of Scottish Iegis-
lative body. The bill will attract
general attention owing to it's SINH
larity to the Irish question. The
bill establishes in Scotland legis-
lature consisting of a Queen and
Scotch legislative body to enact
laws for Scotland, with the excep-
ton of matters relating to the i'm
perial administration. The Legis-
lature is to be prohibited from
establishing a religion, imposing
disabilities or comforting privileges
on such account. All bills passed
require the assent of the Queen only
to become law.
The AiIine Kaiser.
VIENNA, March 19.-It is certain
that the court circles have been
disturbed for the last fifteen days
about Williams health. 1t is
openly stated that the Emperor has
new disease in the ear more seri-
Gus than anything else. He would
have suffered considerably, more
so than from any preceding at
tack, where it not for the fact that
for four days and nights he was
completely under the influence OF
morphine.
German Kings and Princess in
Conference Over the Kaiser's
Despotic Traits.
LONDON. March 19.-The excit-
ing news from Berlin is the general
topic in political circles this even
ing. 1t concerns nothing less than
the combined efforts of the Ger
man Kings and Princess to bring
Emperor Wilhelm to reason, or,
at least, to restrain his power.
When Caprivi's resignation was
first offered there was a terrible
scene. The Chancellor was court
eous and humble, but unyielding.
The Kaiser at first tried to laugh
down Caprivis determination, but
finding that he could not do this,
Wilhelm lost his temper, danced
around, regardless of the clamors
