Another Chance for Controversy.

The recent seizure by a United States
cutter Of two Canadian vessels in Bchripg
strait, on the ground that they were
catching seals in waters ceded to the
United States by Russia, will undoubtedly
afford the state department another OPP
portunity to cxpound International law
in connection with the sea rights of tho
United States. These seizures were
effected sXty-ive and 120 miles from the
nearest land, and were made under the
act of congress passed in 1868, making it
penal offcnsc 10 kill any ur-bearng
animal within the limits of Alaska, or
the waters thereof, except by permission
of the secretary OF the treasury. The OBJ
ject of the act was to prevent the eNtiDc-
ton of the fnr.bearing seal by the Iapa
city of seal hunters, as was done in the
islands in the south Pacific that were for
mcrly II favortc breeding ground of the
animal, but are now entirely deserted.
This is the first application of tho act,
and it has raised several very interesting
questions One relates to whether Rus
sin had the right to convey to the United
States, as it did by the terms of
its treaty in connection with TIE sale of
| Alaska, the greater part of Behring
strait; another is whether any foreign
government will recognize such right
under international law; and still another
IS, what is n closed sea? which it seems
has never been positively determined by
international law. The treaty rights OF
this country in Behring strait-which
was held by Russia to be closed sea-
have never been tested, but It is quito
probable that these occurrences, which
denote n determination to carry out the
act of congress, will open up n contro-
vcrsy which Will settle the above qucs-
tons 1t is also suggested that the con
stitutionahty of the act might very prop
crly be made subject of test, since its
effect is to grant TO the Alaska CONNER
cial companya monopoly of the right to
caIch seal in Bohring strait. Tho matter
derives additional importance from the
fact that the lease or franchise of the
Alaska company will expire IN 1890, and
the next congress viii have to consider
the question of its renewal,

THE proposition TO establish line of
steamers between New Orleans and Rio
Janeiro is meeting with considerable en-
couragemcnt. Three steamers will be
required for monthly service, and it is
estimated that the cost of the fleet will
not be over S3OO,00a The Brazilian gov
ernmont is strongly in favor of giving a
large annual subsidy to the enterprise,
and the merchants of Rio Janeiro are
very enthusiastic over the project. They
sent the United States consul to the
Now Orleans board of trade to advocate
the establishment of the line, and to as
sure that body that they would duplicate
the amount of stock subscribed in New
Orleans. That such line of steamers
could be run prohtabIy there does not
seem to be much doubt, even if it receives
no subsidy from the United States. Our
government has put itself ON record
against subsidies of all kinds. The New
York Commercial Buhelin very properly

JUDGE MANNING, who will succeed Mr..

that he will make II satisfactory repre-.

mains in controversy will be settled by
the deliberate and unimpassioncd

government will doubtless insist upon Il
modification of the obnoxious laws
which were brought to light in the Cut
ting case, and it is hardly to be supposed
that Mexico will refuse to make u conccs-
sion in this direction, since it appears
that she isaltogcther singular IN respect
