Attempt TO XIII n Judre

PARIS, April IA bomb was exploded
to-day in front of the house of the Judge
De Paix, at Argenteuill, near Versailles.
The building was considerably damaged by
the explosion, which was undoubtedly due
to vengeance upon the part of Anarchists.
The Judge has recently received number
of menacing letters. and therefore the ex-
ploSion was not unexpected. The Judge is
supposed to have excited the animoSity Of
the Anarchists b. the active manner in
which he has proceeded against them in
the enforcement of the laws recently passed
with the object of suppressing anarchy. The
police have arrested man who is supposed
to have been instrumental in causing the

to be somewhat doubtful of the bituminous

their actions after May l. Mr.. McClelland
claimed that it was useless to predict what
course the miners would pursue and conse-
uuently he had nothing to say on the sub
ject.
Mr. Mcintosh. of Isaac Mcintosh & Co.

be no strike of the block coal miners be-

An Unnecessary Resolution.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-There was no
necessity for the adoption by the British
Columbian Legislature yesterday of the res
olution praying the Queen to withhold her
assent to the seal legislation until some
arrangement had been made with the
United States for a settlement of the
claims of the sealing vessels captured by
the United States prior to the modus viven-
di. AS a mater of fact, the United States
government had already agreed to a crea-
ton of a commission that shall adjudicate
these claims. The subject came before the
Paris tribunal of arbitration the re-
suit of one of the treaty articles The stip-
ulation was that If the tribunal found that
the United States had no authority TO exer-
else jurisdiction over Boring sea, and con-
sequently, had no right to make seizures
VeStigate the circumstances Of each seizure
of a British vessel 1t was not to assess
damages, even to pass upon the ques-
ton of the liability of the United States to
the owners of the vessels but simply to
report what is known legally as findings
at the time of seizure relative to- the three
mile limit, the value of her cargo and such
details. This done and the result was
the aggregation Of claims against tie
United States for about s2,000,000. While
the United States government was nol
technically bound to pay these claims it
has been DESTROYS from the beginning to
give effect to the spirit we'll as to the
letter of the arbitration, and, therefore,
as already stated, it had agreed to submit
these claims to the adjudication OF a special
commission which Will be composed of rep
representatives Of the United States and
Great Britain, with a third nation holding
the balance of power in decisions.
