WANTS TO KNOW, you KNOW.

LONDON, March 2s-In gshe horse of
commons Mr.. Louis JohnJ Jennings, p4o-
gressive-conservative member for Stock
port, asked the government whether, in
view of the gravity of the news from
Washington published during the last
few days concerning the questions be-
tween the United States and Great Britain
on the Behring sea question, the govern
ment would inform the house as to the
latest communications on the subject.
Alexander Stavill, conservative, has
given notice that on Tuesday he will ask
whether England has agreed to refer to
the arbitration committee any PROPOSE
ton involving the admission of the claim
OF the United States to sovereign rights

BosToN, March 28-Upon the trial
docket of the criminal branch of the
United States circuit court to-day is the
case of the wreckers of the defunct Nav
erick National bank, ex-Presdent Asa z.
Potter, and Directors Jonas II. French
and Thomas Dana. The indictments in
clude embezzlement, false erssures ON the
books, false returns and conspiracy, and
mieappllcation of the funds of the institu-
ton. Against ex President Potter there
are no less than nine indictments, and
these contain and aggregate of 1888 counts.
Probably the most serious is the one
charging him with the embezzlement OF
half million of dollars. French has to
face six indictments of twenty-six counts,
and Dana four indictments. Against
French it is charged that be aided and
abetted the cashier, Joseph Fl. Work, in
making false entries in the records for
the comptroller, and in another count
he is charged with the en-
bfzzlement OF 100000. Dana is
CHARGED with having participated
in making the false returns. Judge Mel
son will preside over the trial, and District
Attorney Allen with strong assistance
will represent the government. The &C.
cused have been at liberty on bail agare-
eating 100000. When the case is called
an application for postponement will be
made on behalf OF the defendants on the
ground that they are not ready for trial.

ENGLISH VIEWS,

London-A week ago the Liberal lead
'ers were inclined to support Lord Sails
bury and the Liberal organs until yester-
day took view adverse to the position
assumed by the United States govern
ment. Whether it be policy that dictates
this change of front or a new sense of the
justice of the American claims, it is GER
tain that the leaders of the opposition
have decided to attack Lord Salisbury.
The whole tenor of opinions expressed
in the house of commons indicates that
the opposition means to seize the chance
to arraign Lord Salisbury as pursuing
needlessly veXatious course instead of as
sentlng to the reasonable arrangement Of
fered by the Washington govern ment.
Saturdays number of The Speaker, Mr..
Gladstone's organ, contains an inspired
article which maintains tnat the rene wal
of the modus vivendi ought TO be as
sented to by the British government, and
says:
"Why should the government be asked
TO promote the success of Canadian ad-
venturers who deliberately undertake a
dangerous speculative enterprise of doubt
full legality and of doubtful utility to man

interest of the federation of the empire,
and, pending arbitration, is it just to re-
fuse to continue the arrangement which

arbitration was agreed upon?"
The Saturday Review has long article
which seems like prep paraton to justify
Lord Salisbury in backdown.

Salisbury ought not to have knuck led un-
der to Mr.. Blaine in the Behring sea

WASHINGTON, March 2S. - President
Iarrison's reply of the 22d inst to Lord
SaIisbury's note, in which the president
declares the renewal of the modus vivendi
the least this government can accept in
the Behring sea affair, is counted among
statesmen here Hs very able document,
firm, dignihed and patriotic. 1t more
than answers every point made by the
British governments spokesman, and, in
fact, is document, the publication Of
which will create lively sensation in
England as tending to show how com
pletely the president has the best of Lord
Salisbury in this controversy.
In executive session the senate has
practically completed the consideration OF
the Behring sea arbitration treaty. In
view of the absence OF a number of sena-
tors the final vote upon tine ratification
was deferred until to-day. 1t is under
stood that resolution, looking to the
Withholding of exchange Of final ratilica-
tions until the modus vlvendi is renewed,
will accompany the treaty.

Ell PAsO, March 2S-Frank Melbourne,
the so-caIled rain maker, passed through
here yesterday en- route from Mexico TO
Kansas. He said: "Our experiments
in Mexico were not satisfactory to the
people who had agreed to put up the
money. They are curious people and
do not want to believe that any man can
cause rain. They were to allow me four
davs to bring an inch or more OF rain,
and thirty hours after | commenced
operations the clouds began to gather
thickly and the people informed me that
it was natural rain coming, and that
must take some other time to make an
experiment. did not stop work, and on
the second day secured fall OF one and a
quarter inches OF RAIN"
Being asked what he would charge to
irrigate the Rio Grande valley in this
vicinity during the coming summer, Mr..
Melbourne said:
81 would contract to furnish, for an
area Of miles 400 square, a good two days
rain every two weeks, for the sum OF
$20O,0O0. | would ask that this money
be placed in escrow, and if l failed to
comply with the contract, [ would not
ask for the money. [ would commence
making the rain as early as your planters
asked for it and continue until they
agreed that their crops did not need any
more ifrigating."
