weekly weather crop bulletin just is
sued says: This has been one of the
best weeks of a most propitious season,
with weather conditions all that could

of an excess Of moisture causing too

and a deficiency Of rainfall in some Of

made good progress.

THAT SEAL MONEY
Seems to Be Giving the Britons Great Deal of Uneasiness-Export
 Meat to Be Examined.

LONDON, Merch 7.-In the house of com mons today Mir. Henry Gardner, president of the board of agriculture, promised that the government would make an inquiry into the alleged packing of diseased meat in Chicago for export to England.
 Sir Edward Grey, under foreign secre- tary, replied 10 tue question asked by Sir Richard Webster yesterday as to what steps the government proposed taking in regard to the settlement of claims for seizure Of sealing vessels iu Bshring sea in view of the great dissatisfaction in Canada at the celay. Sir Edward said 1t was tact that the arbitration commission had decided against the United States upon. the legal questio of the seizures, and It was also isrt that the house of representatives in Washington had rejected a proposition to appropriate money for compensation of sealers whose vessels had been seized. No representations, he said had as yet baen re- ceived from Canadain regard to the matter, but the delay in payment must cause great disappointment aud loss. The original negotiations for the payment of individual claims were suspended when the offer of payment of lump sun was made. The rlght 10 res tune negotiations was conditional upon the acceptance of this offer.
 When her msjesty's government learned of he rejection of the proposals they imlne-
  Pauncsfote, British ambassador at Wash ington, 10 urge the necessity of taking iul- mediate steps and to inquire whether the ss cretary of state would at once resume ne- gotiations looking to the payment of indi- viduai claims. Secretary Gresham replied Il as the United States government WAS ready to resume negotiations. but that the latter must be submitted to tue senate and confirmed by two- thirds majority of that body. This, the secretary saiu, could not te done uniil. the senate resumed its ses- sions.
 Secretary Gresham expressed his own deep regret and that of President Cleveland at the unexpected exposition 0: afflirs and the impossi oility of preventing the un- fortunate delay in discharging the inter national obligations of the United States respecting these claims.
 Dir George Baden Powell asked if, in the event of the United States net paying these claims for scme time, the government would advance the required sum to sealers.
 MT. Sydney Buxton, under colonial sec reiary, answered that the government must consider that question.
