Washington, June 1.-Senator Du-
Bots of Idaho is back from visit
to his home. In view of his proni-
nence among the silver Republicans of
the senate, he was asked today what
silver legis1at ion would be enacted by
the next congress.
There will be no silver legislat ton
whatever" he said. ct would be ut
terly useless to pass silver bill and
then have the president veto it. There
is no need of passing silver bill until
we have a silver president and in my
judgment we will have such a presi-
dent in 1896.
1t can be stated on authority that the
president has not up to this time indica-
ted to any person what his views are
respecting the appointment of sue
cessor to the late Secretary Gresham
1t is believed however. that the prospect
favorS the tender Of the position to
Attorney General Olney.
Count Reyentlow, the Danish minis
ter, presented his letters of recall TO the
president today. He will become min
lister from Denmark to Rome and Ma
drid.
BERING SEA BILL.
that the new Boring sea bill which
Sir Edward Grey announced in the
house of commons yesterday is one
perfecting the phraseology Of the pres
ent act, without altering or extending
the substantial features of the present
act. 1t will not, it is said, enlarge the
zone or extend the closed season, as
these points are fixed by the Paris
award and are not subject to variation
r1 a6a
of both governments appear to agree,
however, that the protected zone should
be extended from sixty to 200 miles, as
expert testimony establishes it as
fact that the female seal goes far out
side the sixty mile limit and can be
slaughtered without regard to the gov
eminent patrol. A change in this par
ticular cannot be effected, however, un-
til the governments have further con-
ferences. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British ambassador, sails on Tuesday
next for his summer vacation in Great
Britain. He will probably be in Lon
don when the Boring sea bill is intro
duced and debated, but he does not an
ticipate that the debate will have any
significance on the subject.
