Resign-Other Officials warned.
TACOMA, Jan. 12.-[Special. THE resig-
nation of Street Commissioner Clinton
was discussed with animation today bv
politicians and taxpayers. About five
months ago the NeTs published statements
and interviews to the effect that Mr.. Clin-
ton fed private horses out of the public
feed box, and that the steeds of other city
officials We're kept alive in the same way.
The city council subsequently investigated
hls accounts, but did not confirm the re-
port OF his alleged shortcomings. A men,

The Bering Sea Question.

WAsHINGToN CITY, Jan. 12.-The Bering
sea question was before the cabinet meet
ing today. 1t is understood that the case
has taken favorable turn within the past
few days, and Secretary Blaine has been
advised that Lord Salisbury will agree to
his suggestion as to the method of selecting
three arbitrators from the countries which
have no interest whatever in the question
at issue. When these three neutral arbi-
traitors are agreed upon there need be no
further delay in deciding upon the per-
sonnet of the tribunal, it having already
been arranged that the United States and
Great Britain shall each have the appoint
ment of two members. Another point set
tied is that Great Brtain's representatives
shall be residents of Canada. The pros
poets are that one of the arbitrators on the
part of the United States will be selected
from the Republican party and the other
from the Democratic party. Edward J.
Phelps, ex-minister to England, is men,
toned as most likely TO be one of the ar
bitrators on the part of the United States.

Two hundred Japs are expected
on the steamship Zambesi on her next
trip This importation Of these Japs is in
anticipation OF probable anti-Chinese legis-
lation at the next session of the provincial
assembly for which there was vigorous
contention at the last session. Great in
dignation is felt among the miners of the
province who propose vigorous action in
connection with the other labor organi "a
tions, feeling that this is but the entering
wedge of an element inimical TO white
labor. japanese labor being cheaper than
white. il is feared that the latter will be
altogether excluded. The poll tax paid by
Chinese is not charged on Japs, hence the
