The Behring Sea Trouble Get ting More Serious. Creat Britain Will Stand by Canada and Is Ready for Action with Heavy Fleet Trying to Bluff Blaine. Associated Press. Ottawa, July 8. A special meeting of the cabinet was held yesterday afternoon for the purpose of considering the critical turn affairs have taken with regard to negotiations in connection with the Behring sea difficulty.

A member of the cabinet said the report that negotiations bad broken down was untrue as they were still going on. As to their nature ha could say nothing beyond the fact that the government still had hopes that some under standing would be reached. The govern ment have great apprehension that serious complications may arrive before a settelment is reached. The British government have informed the governor-general that they will stand by Canada and protect her -saline vessels in Behring sea from seisure by Unite-States cruisers, if the fleet now congregating at Victoria has to be dispatched for that purpose. Sir John Thompson, minister of Justice, arrived in London yesterday and will at once confer with the- British government on the subject.

An officer of the government said that the United States authorities believed they could do- as they liked, as England would not interfere. Now that England has taken, a stand and concentrated the larg' est fleet at Victoria that has ever been in the Pacific, it remains to be seen whether Secretary Blaine will hold to his contention as to the United States jurisdiction on Behring sea and seise Canadian sealers in face of the stand Great Britain has taken. Leas provocation, he said, has often precipitated two friendly nations into war, and if the United States do not recede from the arbitrary position they have assumed, history may again repeat itself and the United States and Great Britain may once more have occasion to test the strength of their naval arid military forces. The first seizure, it is believed, will be the signal for a formidable protest from Great Britain. HENRY S.

I TT01V3. "Little Nellie" Capsizes in Lake Champlain. A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE The Pilot Ouljr Escaped, and Be Broke Through the Windows After the Boat Struck Bottom. Associated Press. Rouse's Point, N.

July 9, About 8.S0 p. m. yesterday this place was visited by the worst wind and hail storm ever known, demolishing trees and upsetting things in general. A few moments before the storm, which came without warning, the steam yacht Little Nellie of this place, used for towing purposes, left this port with a pile driver bound for the Vermont shore, a distance of about three miles. When about a mile ont she was lost to sight, and little hopes were entertained of her reaching a safe port to wait the passing of the storm.

No sooner was the storm over than search was made for the missing vessel, no lees than twenty boats leaving port to discover her whereabouts, but the search was in vain, as she has gone down. Capt. George Clarke, his son and Engineer Hill were drowned. But one man was saved, and he had a terrible experience, being in the pilot house when the boat capsized. Ho also went down, and when the boat struck bottom he broke through the window and mode his way to the surface of the water where he battled with wind, rain and hail for over an hour, being rescued in an exhausted condition.

His hands and face were badly cut. For some reason this man refuses to ive his name. There are parties searching for the miss ing bodies, but as yet they nave naa no success. It is feared there were other casualties as several fishing parties on the lake have not yet put in an appearance. PARTLY ABATED.

Connors was Overmatched From the Start and Weir had an Easy Task and Won In 12 Minute. Short and decisive was the Connors-Weir fight last night and in three rounds Professor Connors was knocked out by the game little Boston boy.

The fight was not a great one for it was plain that the Spider outclassed his man. At 6 o'clock the athletic lovers began to enter Genesee hall, the headrmarters of the Erie County Athletic club. The hall was very close and the spectators sat in then-shirt sleeves waiting for the men to appear. There was any amount of speculation and the friends of Connors felt sure that he was in to win. There were many reasons for this.

Weir had been very social which led many to think he had neglected his training. Connors has a reputation for gameness and being able to take punishment, which made the sporting men feel inclined to back him. Indeed, there was plenty of money staked on him last night. Whole waiting for the men to appear, it was stated that Connors had gone to bed at 4 o'clock, and was sleeping like a top, while Weir was skipping about town, making the best of his visit. The latter had been he would do fconnors- easy, while the latter said he would make the Spider fight for it Those who had a good opinion of Connors as a boxer, thought these facts were all in his favor.

Weir was the first to enter the ring and was followed by his seconds, Tommy Warren and Ed. Smith, the Denver heavyweight He took his chair and his seconds began to fan him at once. It was very plain that they intended to make a fight of this. Connors was late and when he came in the applause was great, for he had many friends. His seconds were George Brintwell and Mike Quinn of New York.

The spectators consisted of all classes, professional men, laboring men and politicians. There were several sporting men from out of town, though John L. Sullivan was not with them. In fact it is extremely doubtful if John L. intended to come.

William Sullivan was the referee, and Joe Slattery the time-keeper. President John J. Griffln introduced the men and warned the spectators that no boisterous conduct would be permitted. He plainly said that any man makiug a disturbance would have to leave. Weir was the guest of the club, and would be protected.

Then time was called and the men faced each other. There waa a great difference between them. Connors was heavy and stocky compared with his opponent. His muscles were bunched and knotted while there was no such appearance in the phvsioue of his antagonist. Weir was slender with long, small arms, and an easy, careless manner.

Cohnors acted nervous and was far from being confident. Everything said by the Spider was calculated to make matters worse. When Jimmie was putting on the gloves Weir saw a ring on his hand. He said: "Why not put a horseshoe in the glove." Connors removed the ring. In the sparring for an opening Weir showed his superiority.

He was quicker, handier and more confident Connors' guard with his right was rigid while Weir's hfinds rested gracefully and lightly. He led and ducked easily 'White Connors was slower and The round had little that was interesting. Weir touched Connors light in the face with his left hand and Connors reached out twice with his left hand. As the round closed Weir struck Connors twice in the face with hi3 left hand. Neither had any advantage and it looked as if Connors might tire his man out.

In the second round Connors looked as if he intended to fight Quick as a flash the Spider placed a right hander on Jimmie's chest. The latter tried an upper cut but Weir was not there. Weir then began his tricks. He danced about the ring and now and would then tap his opponent Connors caught Weir on the chest with a good right hander and the Spider for a few minutes was cautious. He slipped and fell a few minutes later and then rushed Connors to the ropes.

When time was called the Spider went slowly to his corner. The third round was decisive. There was a little sparring, and the Spider was making a show of his man. This caused some hissing and made Weir come to business. Twice he acted as if about to land, and then danced away.

Connors saw an opening and moved for it Suddenly Weir's left went up from his hip like a flash and caught Connors on the point of the jaw, lifting him clear off his feet, and he fell stiif and rigid. He was not up in the ten seconds and his second rushed in to raise him. Veteran that Tommy Warren is he did not enter the ring, but called foul for Brintwell had no righu. to do as he did. Connors struggled to his' feet and stood helpless.

"I don't want to hit him," said the Spider and then sent out his right catching Connors on the jaw. This time he fell and was motionless. Blood oozed from his mouth and the fight was over. There was talk of the chance blow but it was nothing of the kind. Weir had tried twice for it in the round but did not strike He had struck for the art repeatedly bat was waiting for the knock-out After the fight it was the unanimous opinion that Connors is no match for the Spider.

The fight had lasted just twelve minutes. Connor was taken home in a hack. There was some talk of another match, but it is not likely to occur. From first to last the fight was quiet and orderly. It was for a purse of $1,500, the winner to have $1,250 and the loser $350.

Two-ounce gloves were used. There were about 1,500 spectators. Flayers League. At Boston K. h.

Portland, July 9. C. H. Hewett, a well known attorney, was shot and killed yesterday by Charles Belgrade, a saloon keeper. Belgrade then cut his own throat with a razor and died.

The men had been drinking with each other Sunday night and retired together at a late hour. Yesterday morning on arising they quarreled over Belgrade's wife, who is suing for divorce, and for whom Hewett was attorney. Belgrade seized a shot-gun and fired, the charge striking Hewett in the breast Hewett ran from the room, followed by Belgrade, who fired another shot, killing Hewett almost instantly. Belgrade then locked himself in his own room and took his own life. MORE SKIPPED.

Dissatisfaction About the Taking of the Census. Itlayor Bishop Thinks a Police Census at Present Is Undesirable. More Complaints From Those Who Have Been missed. The committee appointed at the recent meeting on 'Change did not meet at the mayor's office yesterday, as agreed, only three members being there. The mayor said that this was a poor time of the year to take a police census, as hundreds or people were out of town.

This includes the entire lake force. Besides the official census is the only one recognized throughout the coun try. A police census may be ordered in January. The committee agreed with this and will report accordingly. A Washington dispatch states that the idea of a recount is considered absurd by Superintendent Porter.

JAMES W. STANLEY DEAD. He Was One of tne Best Known Journalists in the State.

Associated Press. Rochester, July 9. James W. Stanley, one of Rochester's most- widely known aiid popular newspaper men, died at 10.45 last evening, at his home in this city. Mr.

Stanley had been in failing health for several years, having contracted a disease of the kidneys while in the army, from which he never recovered On Sunday night he suffered a severe attack of Inflammation of the lungs and sank fast until the end came at the hour stated James W. Stanley was born in Rochester July 23, 1843. His father, David Stanley, was a prominent abolitionist and during the son's earlier years he saw much of the workings of the underground railway in which the elder Stanley was prominently interested. After the war he returned to Rochester and entered the University of Rochester in the class of '71. He was always an active Republican, and for several years took a prominent part in county politics, serving as assistant superintendent of the poor.

For several years he resided at Joliet, IH, where be was a keeper of the penitentiary there. The deceased entered newspaper work somewhat late in life, his first employment having been upon The Sunday Herald here about twelve years ago, and very soon Mr. Stanley became a reporter who was looked upon as a rising man in the profession. He was especially active in raising subscriptions for the soldiers' monument fond of which he had charge. In 1886 he went to Albany as the special correspondent of several of the leading papers of the state in the legislature.

His ability as a writer and his popularity as a man made him many friends at the capital and he had an extensive acquaintance with politicians rom all parts of the state. He was at the time of his death president of the Rochester Newspaper He probably knew more people in Rochester and vicinity' than any othernian. His memory was remarkable. He could give the whole personal history of hundreds of people whom he could be supposed to know only casually. This was not the result of a prying or gossiping propensity, but rather oi an extraordinary faculty for storing up bits of information obtained in ordinary inter coarse with the people with whom he came in contact Few men could accomplish so much work in a given time.

The deceased leaves a wife, One daughter and one son, Arthur Stanley, residing; in this city. TELE6BAPHIC BBIEISi Associated LOJtDOir, July 9. The potato blight has appeared in several parts of western Ireland. Chicago, Julv W. M.

200 Pearl atreew By Which the City Would Have Lost $10,000 BUT FOR MAYOR BISHOP. How a Little Figuring and a Discriminate Veto Prevented Collusion and Overbidding by Contract, ore Two Market Pavements. Every Monday morning at 11 o'clock is the time set by the city engineer for opening bids on all city work. The total number of bids let during the year is large, and their aggregate figures up into the hundreds of thousands. The lowest bid is usually accepted unless there are good reasons.

How easy it is for contractors to get together and make several thousands extra, can be seen by occasional developments. A City hall man who has "inside" knowledge on all important matters of this kind that occur at the hall, said to a Times representative yesterday: "Whether Mayor Bishop goes over the figures in every instance as carefully as he did over the Elk Street paving job is something I don't know, but I do know this, and you may verify it from other sources as much as you can. When the mayor sent for the specifications in the Elk Street market paving job, after the bid had been submitted, the contractors got shaky. Anybody who can figure a little can soon compute the cost, or something near it The lowest bid was by James Bo-land for $13,950. According to the mayor's figures thfe was about $4,000 too high.

Accordingly he vetoed it, giving his reasons. As you know the new bids were submitted last Mondav and the city saved $4,276. "About the same time, a little later in fact bids were also asked for paving the East Buffalo market. My information is to the effect that a nice little haul was to have been made on this. But the contractors, after the recent experience, wouldn't risk it, and therefore figured closer, so as to save the mayor the trouble to do it for them again.

The result was that A. M. Holloway was the lowest bidder at $14,500. "On the same basis as the other you can easily see that the city saved at least $6,009, which, added to the other, makes a total saving of over $10,000 on the two contracts. Go to the city engineer's office, get the specifications in each and see if I am not correct I know what I'm talking about." The specifications in the engineer's office bear out this assertion.

The area of work to be done at the Elk street market is: New paving (Medina sandstone) 4,131 square yards; new cross walks, square feet; new curbing, 093 lineal feet; excavation, 1,170 cubic yards; embankment, 1,300 cubic yards; flagstones, 5Jji50 square feet; repaving with old material! 683 square yards. Area on East Buffalo market: New paving, (Medina sandstone), 6,754 square yards; new cross-walks, 4,344 square feet; new curbing. 921 lineal feet; excavation, 4,500 cubic yards; flagstones, square feet In future it is possible contractors will make less "mistakes" in their arithmetic.

Detroit, July 9. The International Base Ball league has collapsed and been officially declared dead. Ever since Syracuse, Rochester, and Toledo deserted the league has been failing and nothing but the hoped for possibility of a big Fourth of July attendance kept it alive after July 1. Detroit, Hamilton, Toronto and London put a club in Buffalo that was a failure from the start and cost $4,000 before the franchise was given to Grand Rapids. The Saginaw-B iy City club was given a franchise on promise to pay $1,000 guarantee which was not paid.

Saginaw also refused to pay its share of the league's expenses. Hamilton has been on the verge of disruption and when it went to pieces Monday Saginaw and London tost no time in following suit.
