Mr. Hlnlna that, In his opinion, tbo lirltish
commissioners aw ribt ill boldiuc that, thoy
havo no power under tboir pro.-ent mandate
to discuss the (luoitlon of n modus Vivendi
for tbo next fishery suison, that their au
thority is confined to reporting their viows
on what lisiiery regulations of u permnuont
character may bo necessary with a view to
arbitration; tbnt tho queiou of u modU3
vivendl, pending tho resuyot tho arbitra
tion, Is ono for tbo two governments to dis
cus. March 10, Sir Julian Pauncafoto com
municated to Mr. Wharton a telegram from
Lord ballsbury, which stales, in effect:
"Lord tjalisbury again points out that
the information in tint i osse.'sion of her
majesty's government doe, net lend thoin to
believo that another year f suspeubiou of
tuuling is neecisjarv to prov.'iit nil uuduo
diminution of tho seal herds.'
Ilia krdshir, however, proceed-: to ob
serve tunt Layoud this question it is consid
ered by your government that thoy havo a
right to be protected from tho loss which
they may incur roni free smiling being
permitted this year, in the event of their
claim to Uorlng son being upheld by the
nrbiiratcrs.
Ho states that her majesty's government
does not dispute that after tbo ratification
of the convention thoio will lie somo foun
dation for this contention, but ho adds that
the prohibition of all scaling as u remody
has this defoct, that tho British seniors ex
cluded from Boring saa would havo an un
doubted ground of complaint if the Brit
ish claim should bo upheld by the arbitra
tors. Sorious damage w ould bo caused to
tin industry by a suspension of sealing for
a. long period.
In mow ot the above consideration!! ltap
poars to her majesty's government that it
would bo more equitable to provido that
soaling in Bering sea shall continue on tho
condition that tho owner of every soaling
vessel shall give security for satisfying any
damages which the arbitrators may judge."
March 22, Mr. Whurtcm wrote air Julian
Fauncefoto: "Much further protraction of
this discussion will make any modus vlvondi
that may be agreed upon ineffectual to pro
tect the interests of tho United Btatos and
will givo to the Cauad.au sealers practical
immunity by reason of the impossibility of
communicating to them tho agreed restric
tions. It is known to this government that
the scalers havo hastened thoir departure to
escape notico of a possible modus vlvondi
and that every day almost adds to tho Heat
that must now bo overhauled at sou.
Already 47 Canadian vessels have cleared
for the sealing grounds nnd are engaged in
following up and destroying the seal herds.
Tboso vessels will if not stopped and turned
back at tho passes go into the Bering sua
and pursuo to tho very shores of our islands
tho slaughter of tho mother seals seeking the
accustomed rookeries to be delivered of thoir
young. This is n crime against nature.
This govornmaut oxpects to show, if tho
arbitration proceeds, that female Seals con
ttitute the larger per cent of thu catch of
tbo pelagic sealers.
That in view ot this sorious and confident
contention of this government his Lordship
should assume that 'nnothor 3-ears' suspen
sion of such scaling is not necessary,' to
prevent an undue diminution of the soil
herds and should insist that pending nn
arbitration it shall go oa, precisely as If no
arbitration had baon agreed upon, it is sur
prising as it is disappointing.
If nor mnjssty's government so littlo re
tpects the claims and contentions of this
government an to be unwilling to forbear
for a single teason to disregard them, tho
president cannot understand why Lord Sal
isbury should have proposed and agreod to
givo to those claims the dignity and stand
ing which a reference to a high court of ar
bitration implies. From the moment arbi
tration win agreed upon neither party was
at liberty to disre;;ard the contentions of
tho other.
It must bo npsuuicd that the sincere pur
pose or tno two governments was to pro
mote pence and good will, but if, pending
me uruiirituou, enner noais W'ltn tue BUb
ject ot it solely upon the basis of its own
contention and in utter disregard ot the
claims of tho other. Ibis friendly cud ;'s not
only uttalned but a now sense of injury nnd
injustice is added, oven if it should be found
possible to proceed with an arbitration
under such conditions.
If her majesty's government proceeds
during this sealing season upon tho basis ot
its contention as to the rights ot tho Cana
dian sealers no choice U left to this govern
ment but to procood upon tho basis of its
comment contention that polngic soallnE in
tbo Bering sen is an infraction, ot its juris-
uicuon ana property rlgnts.
In tbo opinion of tho piosidout it would
discrodit iu tho oyos of tbo world tho two
great governments involvod if the paltry
prollts of a single soasou should bo allowed
to tbwait ov oven to disturb tbo honornblo
and friondiy adjustment of their dlll'erenco.
which is so nearly concluded; but, if bis

stop polajic foaling, and shall Insist upon
free sealing for British subjocts, the question
us u nnecis tins governs nt is no lonor
one of pecuniary lessor i;nm, but ono of
uonor anu seu-respect.
This aovornmont nanviibvlandlng the
fact that its right to take seals upon tho

ties ot tno nativo3 oc taoso islands, nnd it
cannot consont that with indemnity or
wiiDow, me coiuo3icu rignts ot British sub
jects to eaten seals in tho Bering sen shall

Tho prosidont finds it dllllcult to heliavn
that Lord Ballsbury is serious In proposing
bum, una i;uveruuiBiit snail lauo separate
Liunuu irum inu owners or nliout ono hun
dred Canadian soaling vessels to indemnify

o should doubtless havo to Dursua and
capture upon the sea many of tho owners ot
those vessels to secure tho bonds suggested
and as tho condition is to be that the ohligers
shall pay "any damar.es which tho arbitrn
tors may adjudge" whllo tbo treaty gives
the arbitrators no power to adjudge any
dnmugof. tlfo tnausactlons would bo without
tifk to the dblitfet's untl o no yalus to us.
This government cauuot consent to bnvo
what Itbelloves to bo its right destroyed or
Impaired pending thoir determination by nn
agreed tribunal however inadequato tho
security offered.
Tho reference in my last uoto to tho in
consistency of her majesty's government iu
donylng responsibility for the note ot tho
Canadian seniors was not intondod to sug
gest n willlugnoss on our part under any
circumstances to see our property converted
into a claim for damages, and particularly
as such n claim cauuot now be board or de
termined by tho arbitrators without a re
formation of tho treaty for hlslordshlp must
remember that while he now offers what he
mistakenly calls security for satisfying any
damages which the arbitrators may ad
judgo, he has already carried his point In
tho treaty that tho arbitrators shall havo no
Jurisdiction to award any damages.
As to his lordship's suggestion that Cana
dian sealers may have some claim for com
pensation it Great Britain shall restrain
pelagic soaling, tho president directs me to
say that he is not able to see bow the cltl-
zous or subjects of either of tho treaty pow
ers can by any rule of law or equity support
any claim against their respactivo govern
ments growing out of bucIi necessary trade
restraints as the governments may lawfully
impose to promote tho larger consideration
of public good and International peace.
Tho president directs mo to say In cguclu
sion that the modus ot last year is the least
that this govornmont can accept. Ha does
not desire to protract this discussion, and
bavin;; now i'i the most friendly spirit sub
mitted tbo considerations wliich support the
just demand of this government that the
property, which is the subject ot an agreed
arbitration, shall not bo subjected to spo
liation pending the arbitration, ho expresses
hopo that Lord aalivbury will glvea prompt
and friendly as, out to renew the modus.
Tho president will hear with regret that
her majesty's government continues to as
sert a right to deal with this Bubjeot pre
cisely ns if no provision had been made for
a settlement of the dispute; nnd in that
event this government as has already been
pointed out will bo compelled to deal with
the subject upon the same basis, mid to Use
every means iu its power to protect from
destruction or serious injury property and
jurisdictional rights which it has long
claimed and enjoyed."
SALISBURY'S PLAN TO BE ACCEPTED
Iho I'resWlftut U 111 Meet tho EiikIWIi
l'ruilor Half U'uv.
AV.inxriTO.v, March 28. It is said on
good authority that tho prosidont and bis
cabinet nro well pleased with the concilia
tory tone of Lord ballsbury s uoto of the
2(itli, especially as it is held to concede the
pomt that hns Leen the principal cause of
contention, viz., u renewal of the modus
Vivendi ot last year for the protection ot the
seal llaheries. 'Ibis alleged concession is bo
lievod to beimiliedin his proposition to
ngreo to a modus, in case the treaty of arbi
tration is ratified, under the condition that
each government shall guarantee the other
for damage.) Incurred through the suspen
sion of sealing operations.
Ono oihci.il, who has been consulted by tho
president in regard to the negotiations, said
ho was especially ploasod with Lord Salis
bury':! admission that Great Brituin would
hold itself liable for damages resulting to
the United States becnuse of the modus
vlvcndi in the ovent that tho verdict of tho
arbitrators is adverse to its contention. Ho
said that taking it altogether Lord Salis
bury s nolo is satisfactory as Indicating a
good prospect for an amicable settlement
of tho questions at issue.
I'urthor correspondence will ba necessary
to settle the method of determining the
character of damage claims.
Olliciuls who are informed oa the subject
estimate tho seal catch of Ciinndliii poach
ers in Boring sea last season at "b,0UU skins.
This is oxcluslvo of the number of seals
killod and not captured mid tbo pups who
starved to death on tho islands because of
tbo slaughter of their mothers at sea.
The catch during 1890 was slightly less
than in 1811 1 , and in 1SS0 was leas tnun iu
1&00. Too fact that the catch iu
lblll, when sealing in Bering sea was
wholly prohibited, was larger than in 18'JO,
when it was only partially restricted, is
explained by tho fact tbnt there were many
moro vessels engaged in sealing in lS'Jl
than in tho previous year. Those ilgures
toud to indicate the amount of damages the
United States would be required to pay in
case this government ajrees to Lord Sal
isbury's proposition for a modus viveudi,
with an indemnity liability In tbo event
that the arbitrators decide against tho
United States on tho question of its juris
dictional rights in Bering sea,
On tho other hand, if the arbitrators de-
cido against tho contention of Great Britnin,
that government will be liable for the
claims of tho lcorth American Commercial
company against tho United States for non
performance of contract, otc. By this con
tract the catch was limited to OU.OOO skins
tlio lirst year and 100, 0J0 oaca tmbsoquont
year. Ludcr tho terms of tho modus
Vivendi tho company was restricted to
7,oOU skins.

Londo.v, March 211. Cable dospitchos
giving tho drift of tho Bering sea corres
pondence na laid before tho United Stntos
Senato bare incited tho liberal leaders to
adopt an attitude of opposition on tho ques
tion. A week ago the llbercl loaders wero
incllnod to support Lord Salisbury, and tho
liberal organs until yesterday took n vlow
adverse to tbo position of the United States
government.
But now tho wbolo tenor of opinions ox
pressed In tho lobby ot the Houso of Com
mons Indicates that tho opposition tnonus to
seize the chunco to arraign Lord Salisbury
as pursuing a needlessly vexatious course,
instead of assenting to the reasonable ar
rangement offered by the Washington gov
ernment. To-morrow's Speaker, Mr. Gladstone's
organ, will contain nn "inspired" article,
which, after analysing expert evidence on
seal killing, maintains that tho renewal ot
the modus vlvondi ought to bo assented to
by the British government, and continues:
"Why should the government ba asked to
promote the success of American adven
turers who deliberately undertako a
dangerous speculative onterpriso of
doubtful legality and of doubtful
utility to mankind ' At tho out-ido
tho capital and outllt of those adventurers
amount to 130,000 pounds. Their slice
might make tho fur seal na extinct as the
"Dodo" and it the existence ot tho seal is
atstilte, how can dnmnges be measured:?
Wo are not going to warwltli tho United
States not oven in the iuterest of the feder
ation of the entire; and during the pending
arbitration, it is unjust to roluse to continue
tbo rrrangement which was prrt of tho
condition under which arbitration was
ngru;d on."
Tho unionist orgau "Tho Spectator,"
takos the government's side, but will havo
only a brief note, advocating a tottlement
that will open tho sea to Canadian sealers,
with n provision for recompense to tho
Americans in tbo event of the decision of
the arbitrators being against Great Britain.
Lord Salisbury's reply to l'resident Har
rison's letter outllt to havo been in tho pos
s8sion of tho Washington cnbieut to-day.
The belief of the tuner ministerialist circle
is that Lord Salisbury will njroo to place au
embargo on Canadian sealing In tbo open
sea provided the I'nlted States government
agrees to pay comp msatiou if the arbitra
tion decision bo against the American
claims. Whatever may be tho issue, the
idea of nn armed collision is dismissed on nil
sides here ns supremely improbable.
To night s cable despatches giving a for
midable list of tbo l.'ulted States cruisers
and revenue vessels preparing for Bering
on are received with incredulous surprise.
Within the Houso ot Commons iuterest in
the matter centres solely iu the question of
how much party advantage may bj derivod
from the controversy. Outside of .Parlia
ment popular interest iu tbo Bering sea
question is very slight.
Replies to inquiries made at the admiralty
do not support the rumors tnat orders have
been sent to Admiral Hotham altering the

THE ARBITRATION TREATY

Washington, March 25. Tho Senato in
secrot session this afternoon reached a prac
tical agreement to ratify tho Bering sea
arbitration treaty with n provision that tho
ratiiicatlon shnll not tuke effect till an
ngreemont bud been reached oa tho modus

on tho tteaty and it wtnt over until Mon

lowing a full voto to bo had.
BEFORE THE SENATE.
frantically Understood that tue Arbitra
tion Treaty Will be Untitled To.ilny.
Washington, March 28. Lord Salis
bury's la.t communication to tho prosidont
stntlng tho grounds upon which ho would
consent to renew tho modus vlvondi as to
Bering sea, was laid before tha Sonnto iu ex
ecutive Bosjion to-day. Iu transmitting tho
paper to tho Senate, tha president stated
that Lord Salisbury's reply was very satis
factory to this govornmont and that ho was
preparing r. suitable loply. Tho character
of this rosponso would indicate in tha presi
dents' letter as being a substantial accep
tance of Lord Salisbury's teuder with a few
modifications tbnt could doubtless bo ar
ranged without dlfllculty.
Tho rocoption of tbo communication hns
largely removed any doubt ot tho favorable-
action of tho Senate upon tho treaty,
and when nn adjournment was hud, it was
tho general belief that tba treaty would bo
rutilled to-morrow, without any couditlous
or resolutions that might operate to defeat
tho completion of tho negotiations. Thero
is still an olemout In tho Senate that per
sists In urging tho adoption of a resolution
requiring tlio president to withhold the ex
cliNiiie ot ratifications until the modus Viv
endi Is renewed.
One view, put forth by a Western sena
tor, has won many adherents to the treaty.
It was that the United States had every
thing to gain and unfiling to loso by the
ratiiicatlon of the tnnty. Assuming the
worst polblo outcouid at tho urbitrution
a decision ngalnsj the Lnltod States, ono
each ot tho points submitted It was argued
that there still lomalued enough ot value iu
tho seventh nrtlclo of the treaty to wnrraut
its rat Ideation.
That article pledgos Groat Britain to co
operate with the United States in tl o pro
tection of the seal ilshorios under regulallonj
to be formulated by the arbitrators.
Much of the debate to-day was devoted
to the question ot tho dnmnges that might
Lo awarded by tbo arbitrators for or aguiust
this country. Senators familiar with tho
subject cited figures to Bbow that the poach
ers securod 05,000 soai skins last your, which
meant the dostruction of over 1100,000 seals,
as only n small proportion of tho total
number of senls killod nt iox are recovered.
But it was thought tbnt not moio than
10,000 skins wero taken iu Baring soa prop
er, and taking tbo govornmont valuation of
$10 per skin, the damngo wo could claim for
last year's operations ot tbo poachers would
not be considerable. But tbo loss sustained
by tho Canadian vossol owners, assuming
that they wero illegally excluded from tbo
seal waters, must have been much larger
than our own.
A PIRATICAL CHINAMAN

OLOf Kstku, Mass., March Ho. City
Physician Morrow boarded the ship Ann. a
M. Small this attornoon whoii the horrible
spectacle was seen of a man lying uncon
scious on his berth, carved almost beyond
recognition. Tbo man was a Chinaman and
the attack on him was niado by his infu
rlated countryman with n dirk knife 15
Inches long. This wa the cook of the vos
sol nnd bis assailant nns the steward.
Capt. Howes said that three weeks ago
tho steward showed syinptons of Insanity
and tried to kill himself, whon he was pitied
in irons and conllued botween decks, An
examination being made a largo quantify of
opium wns found.
After a week's confinement the cjok suc
cessfully interceded with the Captain to lib
erate him, but hj was found ono night in
tho mate's room with a hatchot wnilo tho
latter was asleep. Ho had previously been
in the captain's cabin, but on bis wilo'j
nwakouiug, left. Tho captnin having renj
sous to believo that a conspiracy was going
on, nrmod himself with a revolver, but
everything wont nlong smoothly until 2
o'clock Tuesday morning last, when the
mate, rushing into tho cabin, said the stow
ard was killing tho cook in the galley.
The captain and otlicors, together with
tho watch on deck, broke open tha gnlloy,
when they found both men on tho lloor and
the steward with n knifo and butcher's axo
was chopping tho cook to pieces. Tue stew
ard retreated to the stateroom and fastened
tho door.
The wounded man was taken into tho
cabin, wbeie ho told tho captain the steward
had planned w ith nun to kill all the otllccrs,
together with tho lady, and soizj tha ship.
This he had tlrat consented to, but later re
coiled from the murderous plot, which in
furiated his country mini and led him to
commit his rash deed. The steward sauiug
his plan bad been frustrated committed
suicide. Tbo recovery or the cook is doubt
ful. The crew said tbnt tliey kuaw nothing
of tho murderous scheme of the steward.
The capituln and bis wife were very kind
nnd bad g.vjn tho Chinamen no provoca
