Director of the Mint Leech on the
Production of Precious Metals.
Special to the REcoRD-USrox.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The modHS
Ui0eHdi for the protection of the Behring
Sea seal fisheries during the tendency of
the arbitration, which has been a subject
OF negotiations between Blaine and the
British Minister, was brought to the
Capitol this afternoon for some reason
not now apparent, under an injunction
OF secrecy, therefore it was not laid before
the Senate in open session. Sherman,
however, was notified by the President
OF the nature of the communication and
he moved the Senate go into executive
session. Accordingly the people were
cleared out OF the galleries and the doors
closed. Then the seals were broken and
the modaS read to the Senate.
1t appeared from the reading of the
document that Blaine and the British
Minister spent the time since the British
Government consented to renew the
m01WS in trying to phrase the conditions
relative to damages to secure advantages
Tor their respective Governments 1t an
peared that Great Britain's reluctance in
consentIng to It's renewal was assumed for
the purpose of obliging this Government
TO accept terms which would insure
Great Britain against heavy loss in case
OF an adverse decision by the arbitrators,
and promise the assessment of such a
sum against the United States as would
partially heal the soreness still felt by
British diplomats at the formidable iudg-
ment rendered against them by the
Geneva arbitration.
Blaine endeavored to bring statement
of the liabilities to the basis laid down in
Wharton's note Of July I'D and 23d last.
while the British Government endeavored
TO escape direct responsibility for the
warrantable killing of seals, and
for anything more than the diff
ference between 1900 SKINS which
the lessees of the seal islands took
and 100000 skins they might have taken
had the m0d@s Of last year not been
forced. An agreement said to be fair

LONDON, April 1S.-The severe weather
which set in here last week continues.
In many places the ground is covered
with snow foot deep, and regular biz
yards have occurred. There has been
enormous damage to fruit and vegetables,
and in many places the rivers have over
flowed their banks, and the adjacent
country is flooded and crops destroyed.
In some places the situation is really
serious. The snow and sleeJ have pros
trated the telegraph poles and cut OFT tel
egraphic communication. So serious was
the destruction to the wires that the ordi-
nary force Of linemen was unable TO cope
with the difficulties, and soldiers were
ordered to their assistance. Great dam
age has been done TO crops in the Channel
islands.

Dispatches from Paris and the north of

FLOOD CRISIS OVER.
WINNIPEG, April 1S.-The flood crisis
here is thought to have passed. Yester-
day, in order to relieve the pressure of
the ICE Oh the Louise DrlQge, the Canadian
Pacific Railway used dynamite freely
This started the ice to move, and it poured
past in great volumes, sweeping every
thing before it. Boat-houses were crushed,
telegraph poles snapped, switch boxes
torn away, scows thrown upon the banks
and portions of the piers of the Broad
way bridge were swept down stream.
The water began to fall rapidly, and UNI
less the ice jams further down stream, as
it did in 1882, which was the direct cause
of disastrous floods that year. it is pos
sible the worst has been seen. The North
ern Pacific tracks along the river front
are rapidly becoming visible again.
HEAVY RAIN IN ILLINOIS.

CHINESE RESTRICTION BILL.
Pacific Coast Senator's Preparing for a
Bitter Struggle.

Pacific Coast Senator's Preparing for a
Bitter Struggle.
WAsHINGToN, April 1S.-The Pacific
Coast Senators are making ready for a
bitter struggle when the Chinese restric-
ton bill comes before the Senate to-mor-
row. They will endeavor to have the
Senate adopt the bill as it came from the
House instead OF the Senate Committee
substitute, but to do this they must over
come the scruples of a large number of
Senators, mainly Democrats, who are al
present inclined to the belief that the
House bill is unconstitutional and re-
pugnant to the fundamental principles of
the republic. There are also some Sena-
tors who believe the business interests of
the country would be very iniuriouslv
affected by the enactment of the House
bill, holding that the execution of the
law would be followed by the exclusion
from China of all Americans, mainly
representatives of American importing
firms.
Advocates of the House bill, however,
contend that 1t is the only measure now
before Congress which promises a real
solution of the Chinese question, and it
must be adopted by the Republican SEN
ate under penalty of heavy loss on the
Pacific Coast next November.
Senator Chandler to-day introduced a
number Of amendments to the House
bill. The action is significant as an indi-
cation of the extent of belief that the
House bill viii prove to be the basis OF
action Of the Senate rather than the COM
mittee's substitute. In substance. the
amendments provide that the coming of
Chinese persons into the United States
shall be suspended for period of fifteen
years in place of the absolute prohibition
of the House bill. They reduce from five
to two years the imprisonment prescribed
as punishment for Chinese found unlaw-
fully in the United States, and finally
strike out part of the last section of the
bill abrogating all treaties in conflict
with it.

TROUBLE BREWING AT sIssEToN.
Browns VALLEY ..(Minn.), April IS
Trouble is brewing between the filers and
squatters on the SSisseton Reservation.
The question at issue is whether the
squatters got possession before the filings
were made. One hundred and fifty fiiers
at W atertown, who We're among the first
In line, passed through here and entered
the reservation. They claim it was impos-
slDle for the Squatters to reach the points
on which the filings were made, from the
border, before their filings were COM
pleted; therefore they propose to have the
land on which they filed. They can't get
it without fight, and it may be only
several days before collision takes place.
BUSINESS AT A STANDSTILL.
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 1S.-This city
is becoming rapidly depopulated, and by
tomorrow business will be totally sus-
pended, as practically everybody is leav-
ing for the reservation. The banks and
other places have decided not to open un-
less they can have a good guard, fearing
raiders may take advantage of the situa-
ton.
1t is not certain that when II O'Clock
comes tomorrow the 800 men who failed
to get places in the line at the Land Office
will make a rush, regardless of position,
and the best man will get to the Land
Office, which is situated in the third story
Of a building, first.
The route from here to the border is
lined with people of all sorts and con-
ditions and travelling in every conceiy-
able manner, many carrying supplies for
establishing business. In fact, every
thing for country life is to be found. IT
is rumored that two confidence men who
succeeded in robbing a boomer were shot
dead on the route to the new country.
but the rumor is not confirmed.

Great Anxiety Felt for the Safety of
Colonel Vanhorne and Troops.
NEW YORK, April 1S.-A Douglas
(Wyo.) dispatch runs thus: 1.-THE wires
in this section of the country were cut in
two days ago, and it is not known posi-
lively that Colonel Vanhorne and the
three troops of cavalry have left
Fort Mckinney for Fort Douglass with
the three cattlemen. 1t is known,
however, that the road from Mckinney
to Douglas is picketed by at least six
hundred ruStlers, and the action of the
latter in cutting the wires is looked unon
as almost certain evidence that thew are
determined to attack the cavaIrytnen and
take the prisoners, no matter what the
cost.
Ii Colonel Vanhorne has left Fort Me-
Kinney, the feeling here is that he has
been attacked. He Is most determined
officer, and concluded that he would not
give up the prisoners without a fight.
The road leading from Fort Mckinney to
Fort Douglass, $50 miles, is full OF danger.
winding through bad lands and affordiup
numberless opportunities for ambus-
cades. ii all attack has been made upon
the troops the rustlers will have plenty of
time to get away before the fact of the
fight is Known.
This is the situation at the present time.
and the greatest anxiety is lelt for the
safety of the cavalry under Colonel Van
horne, who stands no show in case of AN
attack by the angry rustiers, who would
as soon shoot trooper as a cattleman, il
anything were to be gained by it.
