Note on Behring Sea Matters.

LONDON, March 25-In the House Of Com
mons to-day Mr. Louis John Jennings pro
gressive Conservative member for Stockport
asked the Government whether in view of the
gravity of the news from Washington pub
lished during the last few days concerning
the relations between the United States and
Great Britain on the Behring sea question.
the Government would inform the House as
to the latest communications on the SUBJECT.
Mr.. James W. Lowther, parliamentary sec
retary OF the foreign office replied that com
municatons had been passing between tue
two governments during tie last few weeks
regarding the arrangements for the approach
ing sealing season. The negotiations on TINS
matter were still pending.
MIR. Lowther added that he hoped the cor
respondence on the subject would be ready
for production in the House on Monday.
The reply t. Great Brltan's last note TO the
United States. he said, was still under con-
sideration.
Mr.. James A. Pcton Qiheral). member for
Leicester. asked: Has the Government any
information that the United States Senate

Mr.. Lowther replied: NO. Up TO the
time | left the foreign Office to-day we nau
nothing from Washington confirming the tel

in its views and to-day publishes an article
strongly advising Lord Salisbury TO renew

Yesterday the Star said that a renewal OF

tween Great Britain and the United States. .

THE PROGRAMME or THE s1LvFRrTKs.
This afternoon Mr.. Bland gave forerunner
of what Will probably be the programme by
the Introduction Of a resolution setting Mon
day March 2sth, as the date for final action
on the bill and amendments. and the resolu-
tiOn Is accompanied by provision giving the
Speaker the power TO refuse 20 entertain any
diiatory motion. This provision is aimed of
course. TO prevent iilibusterng.
The anti-silver Democrats understand that
the special order fixing a time for a vote on
the bill viii be brought in by the Committee
on kuies. and they are making preparation
for bitter fight on it. The anti's are basing
their hope for the defeat of the special order
on the support of the Republicans, and one
OF the most ardent anti-silyer men said this
afternoon that lie believed this support could
be had.

IN A COLLISION ON THE CENTRAL.
An excursion train from Barre and
Montpelier, while returning from the
Burlington rally Tuesday evening, came
into collision with north-bound fast
freight two miles south of Williston. A
most serious accident wasonly avoided by
the fact that the three forward cars of the
passenger train were empty. AS it was,
two persons were killed and nine injur-
ed.
The killed were Janus Crossett and
George Brown of Montpelier. The
wounded were not seriously injured.
They are E. l.. Sault of West Randolph,

lon of Montpelier, E. r. Morse of Mont
pelier, w. S. r. Colby of Montpelier,
Charles A. Smith of Montpelier, Harry
McAllister of Montpelier. Henry Carrck
of Rutland and B. A. Mears of Milton, the
latter brakeman. Both engines were
smashed, as were two passenger coaches,
while third was badly damaged. Nine
freight cars were stove up. 1t is said
that the men in charge of the freight
train failed to notice the flag on a
preceding south-bound train indicating
that the excursion train was following
