BEHRING SEA BILL PASSED.

The Measure Approved by the House of Lords Without Debate. London, April 19. —The Behring sea bill was read Tuesday in the house of lords for the third time and passed. There was no debate on the measure. Washington, April 19.—The modifications which have been made in the British Behring sea bill have robbed that measure of the features which were most obnoxious to our government, and it is believed here that if the act is thoroughly administered there will be little opportunity for pelagio sealing in the closed zone.
