The Behring Sea Muddle Approach-

NAVY DEPARTMENT WORK.
The White Squadron Getting in Shape
for the Summer Maneuvers—Treasury
Department Officials Puzzled Over
a \Vorld’s Fair Proposition.
WASHINGTON, June 4.—It is learned here
from a competent authority in matters of
parliamentary practice that the status of
the Behring sea exclusion bill in the Brit-
ish parliament is similar to that of a bill
which has undergone successfully all of
the crucial tests of party divisions in our
Congress, and simply remains to be acted
upon formally. The vote on the second
reading in the commons is commonly re-
garded as the final test vote.
The bill now goes to the house of lords,
which never attempts to thwart the will
of the commons, except in rare cases of
unusual interest to the aristocrat party.
So the bill may be regarded as practically
passed, and indeed it is the practice of the
British government, when a measure has
reached this stage, to immediately pre-
pare to give eflfect to its provisions, if
there is need for its speedy application, as
is admitted on both sides is now the case.
The next step in the negotiations is
likely to be an overture to the Russian
government to co-operate with the govern-
ments of the United States and Great
Britain in enforcing a close season in
Behring sea, and there is a belief by both
of the principals that no substantial diffi-
culty will be encountered in securing
Russia’s adhesion to the agreement.
Touching the Cruisers Up.
Admiral Walker was at the navy de-
partment Wednesday hurrying up the
bureau chiefs whose men are at work on
his ships at the Norfolk navy yard. He
said to a reporter that unless there are
some unforeseen delays he will be able to
rendezvous his six vessels in the vicinity of
New York by the lst of July, preparatory
to his summer maneuvers in Long Island
Sound. The work that is now being done
on the flagship Chicago at Norfolk is of a
peculiar character that permits of but few
men being engaged on it at once.
It consists of the replacing of the ship’s
old hawse pipes with new ones, and the
narrowing of the vessel’s bow affords little
room for the workmen. The defect that is
now being remedied dates back to the orig-
inal construction of the ship, being an
error in the angle of the pipe through
which the anchor chains pass. Three pipes
have been broken already. As fast as the
vessels of the squadron are put in, shape
they are being sent over to Yorktown,
where they are going through their small
gun target practice.
A Puzzling Proposition.
Some treasury officials are a good deal
puzzled just now over the proposition to
make a certain exhibit at the Chicago
World’s fair. Chief Drummond, of the
secret service, is in a quandary as to what
kind of an exhibit to make of counterfeit
money, which will not have a bad influ-
ence. “The better my exhibit, the worse
my showing,” says he. “I don’t know
whether the public would consider it an
honor or a dishonor to have an exhibition
of the finest counterfeit bills in the world.
It is certainly true that better counter-
feiting is done in this country than in any
other on the globe.”
“The English notes and some of the
South American ones are much more easily
counterfeited than some of this country’s,
and yet there are comparatively few coun-
terfeits in England or South America.
The English five pound note is not even
engraved, and is printed with common
type, and yet these Bank of England notes
are seldom, if ever, counterfeited.
‘ ‘One thing which makes our counter-
feiters beat the world is that our laws are
not severe enough against them. England
sends counterfeiters to prison for life. The
punishment in this country is for a very
short period on the first conviction, and is
never for life. We should send all coun-
terfeiters to the pen for life. I am puz-
zled about making an exhibit at the fair.
It is demoralizing, I fear, to show coun-
terfeits promiscuously. ”
Juvenile Train Wreckers.
VVATERBURY, Conn, June 4.—Michael
McLaughlin, aged ten, and Charles Don-
Olly, aged eleven, were Wednesday morn-
ing arrested on a charge of attempting to

they “only did it for fun.” They were

NYACK, N. Y. , J une 4.—Patrick Galla

Jersey railroad at Homestead the wagon
was struck by an express train and both
