Oorrespopdenoe Over the Behring Bea
Trouble.
PROTESTS FROM BOTH SIDES.
The United States Preaident yesterday
Gent to the House ot Representatives, in
&newer to the resolution introduced by
Representative Hitt, the official oorre-
Gpondenoe between the Government of the,
United States and the Government of
tho Bobring Bee. In h� gegen, ing
letter transmitted to the President, Secre-
tary Blaine, ander date of Bar Harbor,
July 19th, regrets the delay in transmission
which the President direoted on the llth
inst., and says the oorrespondence is still
in progress.
The correspondenoe includes 30 separate
papers, beginning with a letter from Mr.
Edward; Firat Secretary of the Legation
and Charge 4'Affairee after Minister Weet'o
recall, dated August 24th, 1889, and closing
with one from Secretary Blaine to Sir
world. The Seoretary sketches the history
of the negotiations under the previone
Administration, and aaye that from the
llth of November, 1887, to the 23rd of
April, 1888, Lord Salisbury had in every
forte of alieeob assented to the neoessity of
a closeseason for the protection of-eeale.
These assurances were given to the Ameri-
oan Minister, to the American (large, to
the Russian Ambpssador,and on more than
one occasion to two of them together. The
United States had no rename therefore,rename to
doubt that the whole dispute touching the
seal fisheries was praotioally settled.
Mr. Blaine nye that five days after that
en Ache! Perlie.ment to give effect to the
seal fishery regulation nor an Order -in•
„Ooenoil to have naval vessels oo-operate in
the matter could be drafted " until Canada
ie heard from." Mr. Blaine says this
Government cannot but feel that Lord
Salisbury would have dealt more frankly if
in the beginning he had informed Minister
Phelps that no arrangement could,be made
unless Canada concurred it it, and that all
negotiations with the British Government
was but a lose ot time.
Mr. Blaine objects to Sir Julian's pro -
duty Great Britain awed to Masks as a
Russian province was not changed by the
mere fact of the transfer of eovereignty to
the United States. It was explicitly de-
clared lathe 6th article of the treaty by
which the territory wee oeded by Reseda
that The oeewiou..hereby made ooaveys
all the rights, .franoh ieea and privilegesnow
belonging to Russia in the said territory or
dominions, and appurtenances thereto."
Mr. Blaine says that up to the cession of
Alaeka to the United States in 1867 Great
Britain never affirmed the right of her sub-
jects to oaptnre fur seal on the Behring
Sea, end her subjects did not attempt to

A LAST LONG LETTER.
The last letter, which would fill over
twenty newspaper oolamna, was addressed
by Mr. Blaine to Sir Julian from Bar Har-
bor last Saturday. In it the Secretary
takes up the errors which Lord Salishury
thinkshe has gathered from the reoo:de of
his office. He says :
1 am instructed by the President to say that
the United States is willing to consider all the
roceedin a of A ril 16th, 1888,'" as cancelled, so
Government will ask Great Britain to, adhere
only to the agreement made between Lord
Salisbury and Mr. Phelps on the lath of Feb-
ruary, 18S8. That was an agreement made
directly between the two Governments and did
not include the rights of Russia. Asking Lord
Salisbury to adhere to the agreement 'of Febru-
ary 23th, we leave the agreement of April 16th to
be maintained, it maintained at all, ey Russia;
for whose cause and for whose advantages it was
particularly designed.
Mr. Blaine also refers to Salisbury's
statement that' political s in the
United States had caused interruption
of negotiations and not Canadian ob-
jection, and closes" the voluminous cornea.

OPINIONS Of THE PEE .
The Washington Critic, an organ of the
Demooratio party, says to -night :
There' is but one interpretation o the Behring
sea controversy, divested of its diplomatic trap-
pings and reduced to its plain and homely signifi-
cance. It is a threat on England's part and a
retreat on ours. When we bought Alaska from
Russia we bought also certain islan s and fisher-
ies together with the appertainingclaims thereto.
As long as Russia had those pe' sessions her
claims were maintained and enforced. England
protested, but Russia held on. Th publication
of the correspondence on the 'Sebring Sea dis-
closes the fact that we are confronted with a
crisis. Either we are to abandon our claims in
thematter of the seal fisheries, for unless we
protect these fisheries we shall los them alto-
gether, or we must prepare to encounter -Bing-
land's wrath, There is no mistakingthe British
ultimatum as submitted by Sir Julian Paunce-
fete. It means that and nothing else. England
is willing to arbitrate. But Englishand Cana-
dian vessels are to prey upon our seal fisheries
meanwhile, with every prospect th those fish-
eries will be destroyed in the process before the
conclusion of the arbitration. In word Eng-
land is, determined to have her ow way, and we
are notified that she' intends to have it even if
she is compelled to use force. Statesmen in Con-
gress or out of it, newspapers a publicists,
may tatk)as they please of the follyof quarrel-
ling over a few seals. The fact' remains that
England has shaken her big, hungry, insolent
fist in the white and shrinking face f the United
States.
The New York Herald has t following :
The difficulty with this contention is that we
cannot control the fisheries unless we hold
dominion over the sea, and we cannot hold this
dominion unless it is a .closed sea. The
correspondence is not yet concluded. Let us
hope that the discussion will turn from one of
right to one of policy. Both sides are agreed
as to the value, of the seal fisheries and the
importance of their protection. The interests
of both the United States and England will be
best served by a satisfactury agreement for
protection.

SALISBURY'S LETTER.
Lord Salisbury, ou May 22nd last, in a
letter to the British minister says the nego-
tiations afford strong reason to hope for a
satietaotory adjustment, and undertakes to
reply to' Mr. Blaine's arguments. He says
it is obvious two questions are involved, (1)
whether the pursuit and killing of fur settle
in oertain parts of the open sea is from the
point of view of international morality an
offence contra bonos mores, and (2) whether -
if such be the Daae, this feat justifies
the seizures on the high seas and subse-
quent oonfisottionin time of peace of the
private vessels of a friendly nation. That
such motion is only admissible in the case
of pixotoy_or-in-pnrguiuioa-oLnpeoial inter.
national* agreement is a principle univer•
Golly admitted _y jurists and distinctly
laid- d n by President Tyler in hie epeoiai
enema `to Congress of February 27th,
1843. Lord Salisbury argues that the
pursuit of seals in the open sea
has never been considered es
piracy, and even if the• United States
should declare it piracy the United States
Goveinment could not punish foreign citi-
zens .violatin: anoh a law outside the terri-
toria inns to ion o e i e• + a ee.
then says that Her Majesty's Government
must question whether this pursuit. oan
itself be regarded as contra bonos mores until
it has been agreed by international arrange-
ment to forbid it. Far seals 'are animals
fence natural, and • they have been universally
regarded by jurists as res nullius until they
are, caught. Lord Salisbury says it
requires something more than a mere
deola ration that the Government or citi-
zens of the United States, or even other
countries interested in the seal trade; rare
hiders by a oertain course of proceeding to
render that course immoral. Ho declares
that his Government is ready to
consider a remedy it the United States
has been injured by the pursuit of
fur seals by ' British vessels on the
sea, but says it would be unable on
that ground to depart from a principle on
whioh free oommeroe on the high seas de-
pends. Respecting Mr. Blaine's statement
of the exclusive monopoly enjoyed by'
Russia, the Marquis quotea from Qninoy
Adams' letters to the United States Minis-
ter in Russia, whioh nation in 1821 pro-
hibited foreign vessels from approaching
within 100 miles from the coast of Behring
Straits to the 51st degree• north latitude,
to the effect that tho United. States oonld
:admit no part of these claims. He cites'
the case of the United States brig Larot to
show' that the right of- fishing included. the'
right of killing fur bearing animals. The
brig was forced by an armed Russian naval
vessel to leave the waters. He quotes
Charles Sumtier's declaration in his epeeoh
en the purchase of Alaska -that no sea is
now a mare clausu?n. The Marquis also
says Mr. Blaine meet have been misin-
formed respecting the , uninterrupted
possesion of the United States from
1867 to 1886, and submits extracts
from reports of United States officers to
how that during that time British vessels
were engaged at intervals in the fur seal
fisheries with the oognizanoe of the United
States Government. He finds it unneoes.

He says that the last proposition is in
significant contrast with that. made by
Lord Salisbury in 1888, and remarks that
the result with which the United States is
expected to be content is that her rights
within Behring Sea and on the islands are
to be determined by one of her Majesty's
provinces. He says England would right-
fully oomplain.it an arrangement between
_her representative and the representative
of the U.S. were broken off at the wish
of California. Therefore the Minister's
proposition is rejected and negotiations
are to be continued. Mr. Blaine proposes
that her Majesty's Government agree not
to permit the vessels whioh injure the
-property of the--United--States—to-ente
Behring Sea for this season, in order that
time may -be laeoured - fornegotiationsthat
shall not ba disturbed by untoward events
or unduly influenced by popular opinion.
The Seoretary auggests that Lord Salis-
bury make for a single season the regale -
don whioh in 1888 he offered' to ;fake
permanent. -
The Minister replies that further exam-
ination has satisfied his Lordship that such
nta_mt�snre r, oes ar beypnd th
requirementa of the case.
The Secretary, in reply, expresses the
President's disappointment, and quotes
authority for the statement that only one
seal in ten killed at sea is' landed in the
boats.
A telegram from Lord Salisbury' regrets
the President should think him wanting in
conciliation, but says it is beyond the
power of his Government toexolude. Brit-
ish or Canadian ships from any portion ot

ment.

PROTESTS ON BOTII BIDES.
The British Minister, waiting to Mr.
Blaine on May 23rd, says that as the
Secretary has confirmed the newspaper
statements thatreventie cutters have boon
ordered, to Behring Sea to seize foreign
sealers, a formal protest against snoh in•
British .veeeele will be
forwarded without delay. ,
Mr. Blaine on the 29th writes Sir Jtilien
that he is instrnoted by the Preaident to
protest against the cowrie of the British
Government in authorizing and,proteoting
Teasels whioh aro interfering with Ameri-
�aan rights in the Behring Sea, and are
doing violence to the rlghte of the civilized
A Washington despatoh gives the close
of the Behring Sea correspondence between
Mr. Blaine and Lord Salisbury as follows :
On June 14th Sir Julian presented his
Government's formal protest against the
instructions issued to United States revenue
cruisers to interfere,swith the vessels of
British subjects engaged in the seal .fish-
eries on the high seas. The protest says
the Minister is instructed " to declare that
Her Britanio Majesty's Government must
hold the Government of the United States
responsible for the oonaegaenoes that may
ensue from 'acts whioh are contrary to the
establie'hedtprioiples of international law."
The Minister on June 27th says `that hie,
Government cannot ask British vessels to
keep out of Behring Sea unless the United
States will consent to a plan whioh he
outlines for the arbitration of the contro-
versy. Lord Salisbury, in another
letter, denies that he committed him-
self positively, as alleged by Mr. Blaine, to
an arrangement with the representative of
the United States. On the last of June
Mr. Blaine addressed to the. British Min-
ister a very long letter in answer to Lord
Salisbury's communication, in whioh the
letter stated that John Qaincy Adams pro-
tested againet Russia's claim to exolasive
jurisdiction over Behring Sea. The secre-
tary aaya that. the' quotation whioh Lord
Saliabnry makes is most defective, erron•
eons and misleading. He quotes Mr.
Adams' language as follows :
" The United States oan admit no .part
of these olaims. Their right of navigation
and of fishing is perfeot and has beep in
constant exercise from the earliest times.
After the peace of 1783, throughout. the
whole extent ot the Southern Ocean, sub-
ject only to the ordinary exceptions and
exclusions of the territorial jurisdictions,
whioh, so far as Russian rights are con-
cerned, are (confined to oertain islands
north of the 55th degree of latitude, and
have no existence on the Continent' of
America. )'
The words in parenthesis were omitted by
Lord Salisbury. They are, says Mr. Blaine,
precisely the words upon whioh this Gov-
ernment founds its argument. The.Secre-
tary refers to the ukase issued in 1799 by
the Russian Emperor Paul, asserting ex-
clusive authority over the Sebring Sea. He
says the Adams protest was not against the'
old possessions, but against Russia's pre-
tensions to territory °leimed by the `United
States.
The Se'oretary reviews" the negotiation
ending in the Treaty of 1825, by whioh
the olaims of the United States, Great
Britain and Russia to territory in the
:Northwest wore' adjusted; and by whioh
England oonaetited to anoh total exclusion
from the Behring Sea as to forego following
her own river, the Yukon, to its mouth' in
that sea. Afterwards, for certain minces -
alone on the St. Lawrence, the United
States gave Great Britain the right of
navigating the Yukon to Behring Sea. The
Secretary Gaye that during this entire nego-
tiation the Russian ukase of 1821, Resort-
ing juriediotion in Behring Sea, was un-
giteationed. England did halt qu'eation it
curing Russia's domain over Alaska, and
reoognized the rights ander the ukaes in

brig Lariot was not captured in Behring

Mr. Blaine does well to intimate that this sort
of thing cannot go on. England knows that her
interests accord with our rights. She knows
that our rights are even clearer and stronger
than those she is asserting in the Gulf of
Mannar. She knows she is in nu position to dis-
putea single one of the claims so ably enforced
by Mr. Blaine, and she knows that her attempt
to sustain Canada's unlawful behavior is a
dangerous farce. We aro justified in entering a
serious us protest against it. Its effect can only be
unfortunate to all, unfortunate in weakening
ties'that should lbe made stronger every day,
and in maintaing hopes among the Canadians
which oan never be fulfilled. Mr. Blaine has
left the way open for Her Majesty's Government

What People Eat for Pepper.
We find the follwing spicy item in the
London Grocer : " A remarkable case of
pepper adulteration has come under our
notice this week. A firm of chemical man-
ure manufaotnrers wrote to a well-known
wholesale house in London offering them
any quantity up to forty 'tone of ' hood
ground brown pepper' at £5 per' ton. The
circumstances of the oase—espeoially hav-
ing regard to the fact that the market
price of Batavia or Penang black whole
pepper is about £50 per ton. appeared. so
enspioious that the wholesale house for-
warded a sample of the ' pepper' to ns, and
we at once sent it to our analyst, who has
supplied the following certificate : ' I have
analyzed the sample of '-pepper' received
from you, and it is unmistakably adul-
terated. It contains 10 per cent of sand,
and only 1" 76 per cent. of piperine.This
last result would correspond with not more
than 20 per cent of real pepper contained
in the sample. The adulterant is of a very
fibrous character, but I have not as yet
been able to ascertain precisely 'of- what it
consists. The wholesale house who re-
ceived the sample of ' pepper' wrote, at
our desire, to the firm who offered it, ask-
ing the lowest price , they would
charge for five or ten tone.
In• reaponse ,to this letter they were hon-
ored by a visit from the firm in question,
.who stated that they might be innuoed to
take somewhat less than £5 per ton, al-
though they hod already sold five tons in
London at higher prioe0, resoling as much
for some portions as 10s per owt. They
farther stated that they had landed' the
parcel for tome firm whose name they did
not mention, but they could give no guar-
antee. 'They added that the balk of the
article had been sold on the Continent. '

• Birth of a Drome
•
A female dromedary was born in Captain
Cassell's stable, Baltimore. The proud
mother is Druid. The little lady stand
about three feet high, and has a slender
body but very long legs. This , is the
fourth . dromedary born at the park. The
first, Horace, died in infancy. His hide,
hump and all , Captain c• Cassell had
mounted. It is now in the captain's
parlor. The second, Kate, was sold to the
-
circus, with the grandmother of the baby
just-arrided.—The third,. another Horace,
still lives. He, with Druid and the baby,
compose the drovenow at the park.

Vacation.
If you have made your plane for vacation,
look them carefully over and see if they in-
clude a supply of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. The
pure air in the country or by the seaside
with the change in diet will be beneficial,
but to make the moat of the .time given yon
for rest, take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It will
quioken the appetite, insure perfect digest
tion, remove from the blood all debilitating,
life destroying, humors, and Ripply the
system with the eleotrio element of health,
energy, and strength.
