Washington, April 8.?Tho fact that the
question of damages \sas not considered
Ly tho Fisheries Comruissioners indicates
th?tt a new convention will have to be called
to settle these olaifflB. mid ai .o those of Groat
Britain arising out of the seizure of British
poacner* in Behring Sea. There has been a good deal
,.l l.iu.-t. r lately i...n.iy-.i in v., tlio Canadian
press as lo tho action their Government proposed
:nke t ai-, c. ni Bf summer in regard to the kill?
ing of fur seals in Behring Sea. British whalers,
it ls understood, propose to resist capture by force
Of aims. It js hardly to he believed that any
serious intention exlate of carrying such threats
into effect Tbe United Sta toe Government hus
taken hut one position on the subject of killing
seals in Behring Ben ever since tho Territory w;m
purchased in 1807. That position has been the
e eei ill lon of the unquestioned right to oontrol en?
tirely the killin- ol far .vals in those waters.
Year after yeal the Treaeuty Department, which
is charged hy law with the duty ot regulating this
Mulwee, has issued its orders that no one should,
without its enaction, venture to kill any fur vals
In the waters of the Territory of Alaska, nnd when
that department was toked in 1 871 to define what
was m.iuit by the turin " waters "t tho Territory,"
:'t said tlint the j-hrtisc Included ul) the waters
describ.il within the limits mentioned in tho
treaty of ceosion, winch covers practically
the whole easterly half of Behring
Sea, ttie westerly half being continued
nuder the dofninion of Russia. Secretary Man?
ning supported this construction, and recently
orders were given by Becretary Fairchild to thc
sun., effect '.'"i tent to the collectors of customs
..ti the Pacific eoast, with gpeelal Instructions to
give them widt publicity, so tlmt ali partiea
ooncerned might have full knowledge of what
this Government I ? ? ? In tbe prem
isis, nnd of the iction which v < i ld be taken t.i
enforce those rights should parties persist in
their free bool lng . nteri'i ?
Neither the British Government^ mornny other
government) lr.> it ony time entered a protest,
iigninst tlio igguanoe of ouch orders nor luis the Brit?
ish Gov. rum.'tit taken n positive position at
that taken bx ur Government on the quests, n. The
most that Government bas done wno to inquire
the reasons fur our seizing British vessels In those
waters, and what position our Government In?
tended to take in til" future on the suhjeet.
To theee Inquiries it is understood that the United
Suites has nm yet officially responded, but the
key to the situation ls found in ine nature of the
warnings recently Issued Ly the Treasury against
illicit scaling. Certainly Great Britain is in no
position at the present tiin^ to gi?e boobtmms of
protection to its citizens lound engaged |g what
we characterize bs piratical enterprises, and with?
out such ooouanoeo none are likely t< he so fool?
hardy as to resort tr, foroe of arms against our
revenue cutters, whloh nra the polios patrol of
those waters. The law makes it the duty of tiie
Kc.-retary of tne Treasury to enforce thc prohibition
against the illicit killing of fur P".?)s within the
waters of Alaska Territory ns before defined, and
it, is apprehended that nether tiie Secretatg nor
the President wiU le <l tened from doing their
duty by any bluster of the kind mentioned.

rath m some of the mysteries of prison suicide.
Early yesterday morning th" dot tr. a. the Chan*

up his case as practically hopelegg. Prom
1 o'clock until shortly after Ila. ni., the murderer
seemed to be in a calm sleep, bat occasionally
he roused himself enough to wave ids ams. At
11:10 he died without'a gtmgglo, no ono but
a nurse being in his wnrd at the time. Word
wns sent to the coroner's oflie<> at once, nnd Cor?
oner Levy took charge of the case. Deputy
Coroner Jenkins arrived at ti,.' hospital a Bout

his face into an expression of patient suffering I d
aaid: " oh, this Ufo of terrible responsibility
is too much. It is wearing me out. lt is killing
me. Il somebody would (ive dm b 12,500 po

Pitman's fnmily learned of th*? death about j
half past 1 o'clock, when tho murderer's daughters,

would not permit bim to accept, the position it
offered, they refer to tho former break-down oC
his health and say that he has to take great
caro of himself lest he overwork; he goto to his
office as little as possible, going directly to court
from his bouse, and llnils it BBQOOBBfy now anti

fishing jaunt. It is generally coneedid that ft

receives support for Ivs broad mind, his knowla
edge of constitutional law, his gea) ral training,
h:s powers of endurance, his incisive charade
und his well-known capacity i.,r reeling off :g
