ThoSonntowns in oxocutlvo session for nn hour or moro nnd listened to a very lively dis cussion of the llshnrles controcrBy. nftor which tho treaty was roforrrd lothoCommlt teo on Foreign Holatlons. Senators Sherman, Trye, Morgnn. Tcllor, Folton. Hale, nnd othors mado short speeches; and nil woro of tho opinion thnt tho treaty should bo promptly rntllled and tho law with regard to poach ing Ugoroubly enforced. If tho tiealy should bo promt tly ratified it would not hocomo opeintlxo dining tho coming fishing season If Unglnnd rofuses to renew tho moens rirpiidi, then It Isthooplnlonof Sonntors on both sides of tho Chamber th it tho United States should procoed at oneo to punish all poachers and violators of tho law. leaving the question whether the law had been violated or not to tho courts or to tho arbitrators. The spoochos In tho exocutlvo sosslon woro of nn oxcoodtngly aggrosslve character and woro mndo by somo of tho Senators, lit least, in tho light of the fact thnt nftor tho Cabinet session this morning a mossngo was sent to Iyord Salisbury, w lilch. it Is supposed, said that tho Unitod Status Government meant to defend Its rights promptly nnd vigorously. Kenntor Shorman was tho Hist speaker. Ho explained tho provisions of tho treaty nnd lot out tho fact that ho and other Senators on tho Foreign AfTnlrs Committee had been called Into consultation with Secie tnrylllaino on the morning it heeamo known thnt Sir Julian l'uuiicefete had signed the arbitration tit nty and Lord Salisbury had simultaneously nnnounced his deteunination not to agree to a roiiewal of the tuoixs riuinb. Mr. Sherman was followed by -Mr. .Morgan, tho only Democratic Senator who spoke. Ho agreed entirely with tho Chairman of the Foreign AlTalrs Committee, and said . that Democrats as well hs Republicans wero In favor of llrmnoss and dignity. Sonntor Frye. In bis usual exploslvo way. created considerable excitement by advancing tho proposition thnt If Lnglnnd persisted in her refusal to continue the iiifn rnemi tho United Statos had It in its power to bring Hug land to terms In a very simple and dim q wav. Senator Fr) e's plan Is the ono that has always been a favorite with him. of retusingto t nnndn, tho privilege she now enjoys of trniispoilliig goods In bond through the United States, "lte tallatol retaliate!" shouted Senator Trye. " Thnt Is the only sensible wav of bringing thn English Government lo terms." Other Senutors. Including .Mr. Cullom, Chair man of the Inter-htato Commerce Committee, endorsed Mr. Fryo's proposition, which aroused considerable enthusiasm among the Senators generally. The Intimation was glen that it England did not shown moro friendly disposition Mr. Fryo's plan of getting ovu would shortly bo put into operation. Senutor Teller delivered a vigorous speech against tho refusal of Lord Salisbury to ox tend tho moduli nvendi, and insisted that tho rights of American citlens should bo pro tected In accordance with tho laws now on tho statute hooks. Ho said he was opposed to truckling to Groat llritnlu In this matter, and 'ntircn'e lthnt Lord Hallb-;ry could ho brought to iorms in a fow hours if tho Administration wus authorized to enforce tlio law.-, and if necessary, to send ships to tlio sealing -grounds to protect American Interests. Ilo gave statistics of seal killing which w ere alarm ing In tho cxtromo. benntor Hale, supposed to bo speaking for Secretary Hluine. advocated a ratification of tho trenty on tho ground that It would commit Great ltrltnin to the acknowledgment that tho United States bod certain rights In the liehr ing Soa which Groat Britain has not hereto fore admitted. , Senator Felton.who mado his maiden speech behind thn closed doors, ridiculed I.oid Salis bury's claim for nthlrty-mllo limit. and quoted statistics fiom the fur seal oompuny's agent to show that In addition to tho Co.OOl) seals le gltlmately caught last yenr. there woro.'llllMMM) udults left dead on tho rocks and Illl.tllX) pup that died beeausooftholr mothers having been All tho Sonntors agreed thnt England by as senting to the provisions of thetreatj nf arbi tration had committed herself to the acknowl edgment thnt the United States had eortaln ilglitsnot heretofuio conceded, nnd that there fore it was inconsistent for her to opjioso continuation of tho mo r null. At tho Cabinet meeting to-d ly the opinion of all the members present wnB in f.nor of tho President's nttltudo that tho law must bo en forced, which view, it is understood, was after ward communicated to tho lliitish Govern ment. It is likely that when the President un doitakestho suppression of poaching it will be found that he has adopted a moro compre hensive Plan than has heretofore been en forced. It has been pointi dout to the Presi dent within tile last day or two thnt the pres ervation of tho fur seals in llohrlnu Sea is really of less Importnneo than their iirolectlon In other and adjacent wateis. where at presi nt tho poaclieis havo full swav. Ho has been advised that tho Canadian poachers find n much more fruitful field In the north i'uellla Oceiut thin In the liohring Sea. Thn entire shore of tho ocean Is lined with hundreds of islands and Indented by havs and small rivers, which aie almost constantly filled with seals, nnd hero tho poacheisilo their most effective work. Thoy not only kill unmolested in these comparatively cleni waters, but they form a barricade which movents the seals from getting up into Heliring Sea at all. The President has beou mlvlsed to send such naval vessols nnd levenue cutters as ho can command, tonnforco tho law against poaching for a distance of lllteen miles from tho shoro of tho Ninth Pacific Ocean, leaving tho matter of killing In the open sea tofutuio negotiation and arbitration. Fifteen miles is fixed as the. limit of jurisdiction, because that is taken to bo tho distance that can bo covered nnd protected by modem guns. Tho sugges tion for this nctlon Is based on tlio principle that a nation litis nirisdlctlon of tlio wnters for iuch a distnnco fiom shore ns lit can protect itself. In ancient days this distnnco was htatod ns n stone's throw. Interns an arrow's night, and suhnv fluently throo miles, which wnssiippnM'il to ho tho distnnco that could ho covered by e.iiiiion shots. In theso days of modem gunnery tho limit tins been raised to (lltecn miles, mid It is thought that the President will take this dis tance nstho limit of hw claim for the jiuis dlctlon af tho United Stales. In tho open session of llm Senate to.ilny Mr. Pqulro presented a petition from the ( hiimber of Commereoof l'oit Tnwiisend.
