Fishing Grounds.
New YORK, July 15.-- Regarding recent
Berlin dispatch, relative to the relations be-
tween Russia and the Unite. States concern
ing the Alaska fisheries, Washington special
says: Nothing is known at the State depart
ment about any such negotiations. It is
probable that the American Minister at St.
Petersburg may have received from the Rus.
sian government some privilege for American
fishermen to land on the shores of Kam-
schatka and the sea of Okhotsk, but as the
waters of Alaska, within the jurisdiction of
the United States, abound with svery variety
of fish known to that latitude, there IS no
occasion for this government negotiating
with Russia to secure additional fishing
grounds.
