Britain's Pacific interests.

LONDON, April 5.-Sir Charles Dixie
presided today at meeting of the MEM
bers of the colonial party of the house of
commons. Among those present was the
Queensland. He made a speech dealing
with the question of Pacific cable, urg-
ing that nothing would bind closer to-
gether the empire than cable to Aus
tralia. He also maintained that the rail
route to Australia by way of Canada
oug ht to be given imperial support.
A long letter was read from gentleman
who for fifty years has been a resident of
Samoa. The writer declares that the
triple control of the Samoa Islands has
failed aud urges the annexation ot the
group by Great Britain. After debating
the question. the meeting resolved that in
view of the Importance OF the British iu-
terests in Samoa, the imperial government
should at an early moment consider the
serious situation.

LONDON. April 5-Replying to Sir
George Baden-Powell today IN the house
of commons Mr.. Sidney Buxton said the
Canadian government generally agreed
with that of Great Britain as TO the terms
of the Bering sea bill, but the Canadian
government objected to some of the de-
tails OF the bill.
Sir Charles Russell then moved the
second reading of the bill, dwelling upon
tue fact that the position taken by the
late Lord lddlesIeigh in behalf of Great
Britain had been constantly adhered to
since. Sir Charles afterwards proceeded
to justify the governments decision to
submit the Berug sea question to arbitra-
ton. Sir Charles declared the award es-
tsblished the claim that British subjects
had been Injured by the seizure of their
vessels, aud he took the opportunity
to say that President Cleveland had not
been slow TO recognize that claim.
Mr.. Balfour said the course of the gov
ernmenI seemed wise. II had not lost a
single moment in moving the adoption of
a bill to carry out Great Britain's obliga-
tions. and doing this act of iniernationa al
justice, he and his colleagues would give
their hearty support.
Sir George Baden-Powell strongly OBJ
jected TO the treaty, Some of the relations
he declared, were ridiculous, while at the
same time many important points were
not touched. Fur seals, he added, could
not be protected unless ali modes of
slaughter were covered by treaty. Sealing
vessels could fly the flags of nations other
than those to which they belonged
and thus escape the Jurisdiction
States. The breeding grounds of the fur
seals belong to Russia and japan and were
entirely Ignored. Sir George concluded
by declaring he intended to endeavor to
secure notifications of the bill now before
the house.
Sir Richard Webster. formerly attorney
general, who, with Sir Charles Russell,
appeared as counsel for Great Britain be-
fore the tribunal of arbitration. said Sir
George Baden-Powell did not represent
the opinion of the opposition. He did not
think the protective zones would be OBJ
jected to. 1t was great mistake TO argue
that the treaty gave Great Britain the
shadow and the United States
the substance He added that he
was able to inform the house that
the American bill had passed both the seu-
ate and the house of representatives and
would now go to President Cleveland for
his signature. He added that the Ameri-
can bill was on the same lines rs the one
now under consideration. Apart from the
seal Question, the treaty. Sir Richard de-
clsred, WAS a distinct advance in the set
tlemeut of international disputes. He
would always remember his own associa.
ton with the arbitration with the greatest
pride.
When Sir Richard had finished the bill
was placed on its second reading aud
passed. The announcement Of the vote
caused prolonged cheering.

SMART TRICK.
Britain Attempts to Give Her Sealers
Undue Advantage.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Some disappoint-
ment has been expressed by public men
interested in seeing the Bering sea arbi-
tration fairly executed because of the in
clusion in the British bill Of clause ex-
empting from its operations vessels that
may have cleared for the seal waters be-
fore the promulgation of the law. Il has
been asserted that moro than fifty sealing
vessels have already cleared, aud beyond
doubt the end of the feet, profiting by the
hint conveyed, will get away from port
before the law is duly proclaimed in the
expectation of taking full cargo of skins
before they can be overtaken aud served
with notice to refrain from hunting.
OF course if this were permitted the
results of the arbitration would be nulli-
fed for the season, tho slaughter of seals
would be immense aud permanently dis
astrous, and the state of affairs would be
even worse than last year. when, under the
restraining influences of the modus vi
vendi. the sealing vessels captured about
l00, 600 skins. But the Canadian sealers
are likely 10 be sadly mistaken if they
proceed upon the theory that tie British
law will govern the action Of our cruisers.
or course it will he the guide for the
British warships, but the failure of the
British act to fully meet the spirit of the
arbitration will not prevent the United
States from carrying that agreement out
according to the provisions Of our own act,
and the Canadian sealing craft caught in
forbidden waters by American cruiser will
be seized, notice or no notice.

TRANSPORTATION PROVIDED.

OAKLAND, Cal. April 5.-The regiment
of the Industrial Army which arrived
Tuesday from San Francisco is stranded
here. The efforts of the leaders to secure
transportation east was denied and the
men have been unable to get out, The
Southern Pacific company was for a long
time obstinate and refused transportation
to any point unless the customary rate is
forthcoming.
The men are being provided with shelter
and an abundance Of food by the citizens,
which may account in measure for their
reluctance TO walk. Threats to secure
transportation by force were common
among the ranks and considerable anxiety
was felt by the people OF Oakland regard
ing the outcome
A movement was on foot to raise $500
and provide boxcar transportation for the
army to Sacramento but arrangements
were at last made with the railroad By
which the army will leave Oakland at 6
O'Clock tonight on a train of box cars
provided by The railroad company.
