The Cabinet ON The sehring Sea.

WASHINGTON, March 9.--The meets
ing Of the cabinet yesterday was de-
voted almost entirely TO the considera-
ton of the Behring sea question with
a view TO deciding on plan OF actiOn
in case Great Britain adheres 10 her
refusal to renew for the present season,
pending arbitration, the modous
vivendi OF last year. There was
smaller attendance than usual owing
to the absence OF Messrs. Blaine,
Foster and Noble. The matter was
thoroughly discussed and it is under
stood it was determined to insist upon
a renewal of the modus vivendi for
the preservation OF seals in Behring
sea. The president and every
member OF the cabinet present
participated in the discussion,
and the opinion was unanimous that
the position assumed by the British
government is untenable and not JUS
tined by the condition OF the sealing
industry. Argument was made that
the opening of Behring sea for the pres
ent season to the indiscriminate
slaugb er OF seals by poachers would
undoubtedly result in the serious in
jury, if not total destruction, of the
industry and thus defeat the very Oh
ject sought in the negotiations be-
tween the two countries.

Financial Affairs of ex-Mayor Hill In .
Rather Had shape.
NORTHAMPTON, Mass, May 81. - The
Florence kindergarten trustees have petit
toned To have ex-Mayor A. G.. Hill put
into insolvency, and the hearing will be
held on the 18th. Mrs. Mary s. Mann Of
Florence has also filed petition on her
own account that his estate be declared
insolvent and the bearing will come at the
same tine. Little is told in the petitions
of the real condition of affairs. 1t is
known that Mr.. Hill, who was until re-
Gently a trustee OF the kindergarten and
treasurer of the funds, borrowed large
amounts from the funds to put into his
business enterprises, and that he obtained
from Mrs. Mann good deaf OF money for
the same purpose.
The step is taken at this time on the ad-
vice OF Ex-Governor Robinson, counsel for
the kindergarten people, and because Of
heavy claims that will mature in few
days against Mr.. Hills estate. The
amount OF Mr. HIPS liabilities are sup
posed to be Slj0,OO0 to 100000 He owes
the kindergarten and the local banks alone
fully 100000, while many must suffer as
indorsers. Mr.. Hill went south about two
weeks ago and has not returned home, al
though he is supposed to be in the state.
When last seen on this matter, Mr. Hill
alleged that he and Judge ID. w. Bond
borrowed money Of the kindergarten by
vote of the trustees to aid the village
enterprises, and that 10 was simply a mis-
tab OF judgement
