HARRISON SENDS AN ULTIMATUM
TO GREAT BRITAIN.
The British Minister Requested to Notify
Salisbury That the President Wants
to Know What He Is Going to Do
About the Bering Sea Modus vivendi.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Acting Sec
retary Wharton was today instructed to
inform the British minister that the
president desires to know at as early a
date as possible the intent of the British
government in regard to the proposed
renewal of the modus vivendi of last
year for the preservation of the seal
fisheries. pending the settlement by ar
bltration of the question of the juris-
dictural rights of the United States in
the Bering sea. The British minister
was requested to call Lord Salisbury's g
attention to Wharton's note of the 9Th
instant, insisting on the necessity of a
modus vivendi with the suggestion that
the president would like to have re-
sponse as soon as possible that he might
act understandingly in the matter.
The presidents desire for speedy ac
tion is said to be due to the fact that it
is essential that he should know whether
Great Britain will cooperate in keeping
sealers out of Bering sea, as otherwise
the execution of that duty falling solely
on the United States will necessitate
making arrangements that can be
scarcely effective unless completed at
an, early day.
The character of the instructions to
our naval and revenue vessels destined
for duty in the Bering sea this season
will depend almost atogethar on the
attitude to be assumed by Great Brit
ain, and as the vessels will have to be
in the vicinity of the sea by the 1st of
May, it will be seen that there is very
little time to spare in preparations.
The senate committee on foreign rela-
tions spent the greater part of the
morning in discussion OF the Berng sea
question. Nothing new was developed.
Nothing has been heard of the receipt
by this government of the alleged pro-
test OF the Russian government against
the submission to arbitration CT the title
to Bering sea. The proceedings were
confined to careful review of the acts
already before the committee. No action
was taken.

LIVERPOOL, March l6.-The police
have been pursuing an inquiry into the
disappearance OF woman and children
who formerly lived at Rainhill, a part
of Liverpool. The inquiry was started
in connection with the arrest at Mel
bourne, Australia, of man named
Williams, charged with numbering a
woman there. This morning the
hearthstone where they formerly lived
was raised and the bodies OF the woman
and three children, partly consumed by
quicklime, were unearthed.
A plausible theory sprung from the
discoveries, and the further the affair is
investigated the stronger grows. the be-
lief that Williams is none other than
the world-renowned "Jack the Ripper"
Williams, while resident of Liverpool,
made frequent visits to London. The
police had traced his movements be-
tween the two places, and it has been
found that his visits to London corre-
sponded with the times unfortunate
women in the White Chapel dis.
trict were found with their throats cut
and bodies mutilated in the shocking
manner that characterized the crimes
OF the 'ripper." 1t will be recalled that
a description was given the police of the
appearance ola man seen in company
with several unfortunate women whose
bodies were subsequently found lying in
pools of blood in the streets of White
chapel. This description tallies exactly
with the appearance of Williams, as
given by people of Liverpool we'll ac-
quainted with him.
The question of who Williams really
is, and how he lives, remains mystery.
When he first came to Rainhill he
was hail-fellow- well-met with the in
habitants, but never gave an inkling of
his personal history. After he rented a
villa, an unknown woman with three
children arrived. Nobody saw them
arrive or depart. About the same time
another woman, whom he said was his
sister, arrived and visited him
at the hotel. She was seen twice,
then also vanished. After being
absent from the hotel all day he used
frequently to return, covered with dirt,
explaining his appearance by saying
he had been putting new floors in a
house. After living at the villa few
| days, he returned to the hotel, saying
he could not stop there, that his sister
and children had gone away, and his
plans were unsettled.
The search for victims will be con.
tinued in other rooms tomorraw. The
brutality of the murderer suggests the
ferocity of Jack the Ripper;

HARD TIMES IN CUBA.
Reciprocity With the United States Haf
ParalYZed Business,

HAVANA, Cuba, March 16.-The re-
ceipts at the custom house show large
falling off as compared with last year,
and the government is constantly occu-
pied with devising ways to increase the
revenues. Many anticipate the adop-
ton of new tariff in the near future,
and probably the suppression of the
reciprocity treaty with the United
States. Popular feeling is against the
treaty very strongly on account of
the disastrous results to Spanish mil
lers, and on account of the duty levied
by the United States on early vegeta-
bles, while the United States has the
privilege of shipping garden produce to
Cuba free Of duty. The sugar trust in
the north is bearing the Cuban sugar
market, and business is practically sus-
pended in consequence. The planters
are already discouraged, as they are also
contending with heavy storms, fire. lack
of field hands and the breaking of ma
chinery.

PARIS, March 16.-The excitement
caused by the explosion at the Lobau
barracks yesterday continues. M. Lou
bat, prime minister, has ordered that
the residences of anarchists be searched.
Whenever arms, explosives or seditious
documents are found, the occupants OF
the places where found shall be arrest

of their residences and belongings. AS
a precautionary measure the govern
ment has ordered that in addition to the
regular guard, secret guard be placed

dustrie, where recruiting takes place,
today are surrounded by gendarmes.
Several more prominent anarchists
were arrested this morning; no papers
of Importance were discovered.
Additional search warrants were sub
sequently issued and the police are en-
gagged in making thorough search of
houses known to be occupied by an
archists. Thirty-fve lodgings have
already been closely examined and five
of the occupants have been arrested.

ton of articles, evidently intended for
use IN the manufacture of explosive
