Special to THE MoRNINa CALL.

VICTORIA, B. c., March 11-This mora
Ing Collector of Customs Milne received the
following from the Marine and Fisheries
Departments:
''The Russian Government proposes this
year tosprohibit sea-lhunting and to seize
sealers coming within radius of thirty
miles of Commander Island and the Robban
Islands and within ten miles of the Russian
coast. Warn sealeTs accordingly"
Immediately on receipt of the telegram
the Collector communicated with the local
owners and agents of sealing vessels and
all seem thoroughly satisfied with the in
formation. Vessels sealing on the coast
viii be notified at once, while those hunt
ing on the Japan coast will have the news
conveyed to them by Captain j. G. Cox,
who is now in Yokohama representing
British Columbia sealers in conference
with the japanese Government. It is ex-
pected that the English Government will
assist in making known the terms of the
arrangement by communicating with the
British Consuls al all points where sealers
are likely to call or can be reached.
Local sealers appear to be satisfied that
the Russians have made even this limited
relaxation Of last years pretensions, under
which outrageous seizures were made by
the notorious captain of the Zabaika. fol-
lowed by i'll treatment of the crews iu Rus
sian prisons and the forfeiture of their YES
sells aud supplies.
In regard TO instructions from Ottawa con-
corning Russia's suggestion for a protected
sealing zone previously referred 10, Custom
Collector Milne says: II think this will
have bearing on the Bering Sea arbitra-
tion case. By advocating the establishment
of a protective zone. Russia practically
admits that she did not give any rights
to the United States, as that country claims.
Russia now vaguely admits that she had no
rights to cede."
United States Consul Meyers says: ~
think the sealers will be pleased with the
news. Some of them expressed themselves
that way. The action OF the Russians in
selling American and British schooners
last year brought the subject prominently
before the United States and Great Britain.
They recognized that they had Russia to
treat with and that the sooner an internd-
tlOnal agreement IS arrived Mt the better
II protective zone is established on both
the Russian and American territorial
waters the sealers will better know their
rights"
"Do you think this will affect the Paris
ian arbltration?'
1T may. The United States did not so
much claim that BeTing Sea was a closed
sea as that they had property right in the
seas. The rO0keries are the property of
the States. l have received no information
on The subject"
The morning call., 1893-03-12


the Government will not cease the struggle
until it challenges vote at a plenary sit
ting of the Reichstag. Both the confidence
expressed in official circles in the eventual
acceptance of the bill and the certainty ex-
pressed by its opponents in its defeat are
part of game of bluff on either side.
The truth is that the Government. realiz-
ing how difficult it will be to obtain any
form OF the bill worth having, is maneuyer-
ing for time, during which it hopes TO take
advantage of the dissensions of the CeDtrist
party 10 secure small majority through
strategy. President Won LevelZow, who
acted all through in unison with the Chan
celor, who wants the discussion delayed,
acted in unison when he had the motion in
regard to the return Of the Jesuits to Ger
many postponed. The time is not yet op-
perfume for the Government to declare its
intentions in the matter. and negotiations
with the Vatican, although almost hopeless,
still proceed.
During the discussion Of the war budget
Herr Ablwardt repeated, amid a chilling
silence, his accusations against the Govern
ment fer taking the defective Loewe rifles.
During the same debate Herr Richter asked
whether the budget included the sums paid
to the newspapers for supporting the army
bill. Chancellor Won Caprivl Indignantly
denied that a single pfenning had been so
ex ended.
The latest Developments In the sgrarian
question is the Governments proposal to
establish chamber of agriculture, but the
agrarian leaders eye the project askance.
On the occasion of Emperor Williams
visit to Rome on the twenty fifth anniversary

tance was attached to it, as Ii was simply to

WHY HE RESIGNED.
A Minister Whose Character Could
Not Be Sustained

PARIS, March 11.-The Chamber of Depu-
ties was crowded to-day. the occasion being
the debate on the demand by Gustaye Lam
arzelle for the production of the alleged
menaclng telegram from Cornelius Herr to
certain politicians. NJ. Ribot, Premier ex-
planned to The chamber that the telegram
had been destroyed In the ordinary official
routine. If copies had been preserved in
the detective offices they would be given to
the chamber.
At a session of the committee OF investi-
CATION to-day the committee refused to ac-
cept the resignation Of Heney Brisson as
president, and also resolved to summon
Ribot and Bourgeois. 1t is understood
that the lack of confidence indicated by this
course had much to do with the resignation
Of Bourgeois. In the letter announcing his
resignation Bourgeois said that he had re-

spee!ai session. This gentleman, who is in
position TO know, predicted further that the
treaty would be on annexation lines, though
radically different in its terms from the
Harrison treaty. Features would be added,
he states, which leave no possible chance
for ugsr syndcates to reap any benefits,
wh'ch will relieve the United States from
any financial responsibility for the support
OF the Islands. In other words, the attitude
OF this administration is not unfavorable
to annexation. but is opposed to the Harri-
son treaty because it is thought to have
been too hastily drawn and not full and
definite enough in its scope to properly pro-
tecs the interests of our Government.
WASHINGTON, March 11.-At last nights
Cabinet meeting, it is understood, a de-
cisi0n was reached as to the policy of this
administration with reference 10 the
troublesome question. 1t is to send to
Hawaii as soon as possible a Senatorial
committee or commission, to be appointed
by the President, if such commission can be
arranged for without the cooperation of
the House of Representative to investigate
the alleged revolution, and to make a re-
port later Ia the summer.
Secretary GRESHAM has earnestly recon-
meDded the President to take no step till
ner in which the royal Government of
Hawaii was overthrown.
Il is believed the President on Monday
will send a message TO the Senate recon-
mending the appointment of committee or
commission of inquiry, and thi, plan, if
adopted, as it no doubt will be, will neces-
sarily throw the final solution Of the prob
lem over TO the meeting of the next Con-
gress.
Mr.. Cleveland now has the subject under
consideration, and it is said that the matter
has progressed so far that the name of ex-
Judge Martin z. Montgomery of Michigan,
lately of the District of Columbia bench,
has been brought 10 his attention by Hon.
Don Dickinson as an excellent man to SEND
as Commissioner.
In conversation with a member of Con-
gress to-day President Cleveland expressed
the opinion that President Harrison had
acted too hastily in sending the annexation
sStr 10 the Senate. He said be would ap-
point commission to visit the islands this
summer. and after thorough investigation
and report had been made lie would decide
what course to pursue.
