Joined table IL presented for their benefit.
The corresponding grades in the two branch

mirsl is not recognized BY the statute fixing
the relation Of the grades; but it is never.
theless in actual existence, and the salary

izatlon Of the army contained section pro-
viding for decrease Of the salaries OF off.
GERS in tnat branch of the service; but the

The Correspondence Regarding the Conn
mission.
NEW YORK March 22-The correspondence
between our government anG England relative
TO the appointment of the late fisheries COM
mission, has been sent to the Senate in re-
Spouse to Mr.. Blaine's resolution The papers
SHOW that Mr. Delfosse himself was not aware
OF the objections against him, but that the
fosse twice aud knowed the objections of the
United States, allowing an Austrian minister
al their own court to nominate him. entirely
failing to reveal to said minister that obiec-
tlons mad oeen made to Dslfosse, but the Brit
ish Cabinet gave its immediate assent to the
nomination.
Secretary Fish, under these circumstances
could offer no further objections, as Delfosse
was known to be an honorable man.
The London Times en- the Question.
TORONTO, March 21.-The Globes London
special gives the following editorial from the
Times on the fisheries award:
1t IS unfortunate for the good fame of the
United States that at moment when the H.
nsnciai policy of Congress has awakened grave
suspicious and anxetes in Europe, some
American politicians of considerable imnort.
ance and notoriety, display another phase of
repud1atlng spirit, IN opposing the payment of
the award. The reckless language of Messrs.
Blaine anG Butler is not only throwing dis
uust on the country but damaging the system
OF settling International disputes BY arbitra-
ton. No country heL ceforth will be willing to
refer its claims to arbitration if the decision of
the arbitrators is liable to challenge by the
unsuccessful party. This is as plain as that
American credit will be severely shaken if they
refuse to abide by the award. 1t may be reas-
onably argued that tia government which
seeks to evade the consequence of a reference
to a tribunal chosen with its full knowledge
and Tree consent, is not likely to be scrupulous
IN maintaining the obligations of inconvenient
contracts with foreign creditors
It would be as I'm wise as unidentified for the
States to provoke the indignation of England
and all the civilized world by refusal to nav
an indisputabe claim. The questions consid-
cred BY the commits sion are such that only
those present throughout the whole inquiry.
nave any claim to pronounce an opinion. The
American case put before the commissioners
was most ably, completely and fully heard.
We take it for granted therefore that the
amount of award is reasonable. If it seemed
to the Americans unduly LARGE self.respect and
regard for the principles of arbitration ought to
nave restrained expressions of Impatieuce.
Inc attempts at evasion and attacks upon
the impariiality of Mr.. Delfosse are of niece
with the spirit of chicane which has ATTEMPTED
to enforce an Interpretation of unanimous
award
We hope and believe that Mr.. Blaine will
not bs able TO get the Congress of his country.
