ures Sworn to Be Reliable.

An Undecided Fishing Match.

Budds Lake, N j., Special to the New York
Sun.
A fishing match rec nifty took place
on the lake between BOatkeeper Allen
and Dave johnson, veteran angler,
for purse of $50, raised in the Office of
the Forest house. The men tished for
an hour, stopping at noon. Proprietor
Rich, of the hotel, who acted as referee,
found that the collection of bass, pick
eral and perch in Aliens string num-
bered twenty-six and on JohnsOn's
twenty-five. One of the latter was a
black bass weighing four pounds nine
ounces. When the strings were
weighed Aliens tipped the scales at
eleven pounds ten ounces, the baby
perch and pickeral counting for very
little. When Dawes string, big bass
and all, was balanced the scale indi-
Gated the same weight exactly. without
the variation of a fraction of an ounce.
Referee Rich declared the match a
draw, declaring that he had never be-

Jay Gould Compels Uncle Sam

Dakota the Only Territory
Benefited by Moneys for
Experiments.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Numerous
kilograms have been received in this
city asking for information in regard to
the Sioux Indian lands, and many per-
sons appear to have the impression that
the presidents proclamation is all that
is now needed to make the lands part
OF the public domain, and such open to
settlement. This impression is not
founded upon the law, and is erroneous.
One of the acts of congress requires
that congress shall ratify any agree
ment made with the Indians before the
agreement shall become of effect, and
it will therefore be necessary for the re-
port of the commission to be sent to
congress, and favorable action taken
thereon, before the president can de-
clare the lands open to settlement. 1t
will be good while before settlers can
go upon the lands.

BRITISH RIGHTS.

1t is an open state secret that Lord
SALISBURY has notified the Canadian
government that it is the wish of the
queen to have British rights protected
in Behring sea, and this communl-
cation has been construed by the Do
minion authorities to be an expressed de-
termination of the British government
to protect Canadian vessels engaged in
seal piracy. The London cablegram is
vague in that it does not undertake to
define what rights the British have in
Behring sea. but rather leaves it to the
masters of the Canadian vessels to de-
termine for themselves to what extent
British jurisdiction extends over the
Alaskan waters. 1t is worthy of note,
however,; that SALISBURY apprehension
that the British government has rights
IN the Behring sea is clearly indicative
of the purpose of the imperial authorl-
ties to ignore the Russian-American
treaty whereby the car formally trans
ferred to the United States the eXclu-
sive right to catch seals in the Alaskan
waters, including the Behring sea. 1t
is possible that an application of
the principles of international law
would sustain the British theory
that the Behring sea is an open
water, and free to all nations
who choose to use it for commerce.
Senator HAwLEY, of Connecticut, has
consulted VATTEL on the subject, and
finds that his Interpretation OF inter-
national law is favorable to the British
claim. 1t should be remembered, how
ever, that nearly half a century ago
Russia and Great Britain quarreled over
this identical question, and when the
controversy was submitted to arbitra-
ton it was decided in Russia's favor.
For nearly fifty years Russia and the
United States have held the Behring
sea under color of title, and surely this
fact should count for something in an
adjustment of the present trouble. Still,
the Behring sea and all the seal thereof
are not of sufficient value to provoke a
war between the two countries, conse-
quently there is no need for bad blood
on either side. An adjustment of the
Behring sea trouble would be an oeca-
sion for the United States to press an
adjustment of the fisheries question, and
by thus combining the two, both coun-
tries may be enabled to obtain Satisfact-
Ory results.

TALLY ONE FOR GOULD.
Uncle Sam Forced to Accede to
HIS Terms.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL. The I'M
settled condition of affairs between the
telegraph companies and the govern
ment has given rise to some complica-
tons. 1t frequently happens that Sc
cret service, lighthouse and other gov
eminent employees desire to send tele-
grams when away from Washington,
and for this service they are now re-
quired to pay the full commercial rate.
AS the use of the telegraph wire is i'm
perative, these persons have paid for
the messages in the hope that the gov
eminent would reimburse them. AS a
result of several conferences between
Assistant Secretary Batcheller and As
sistant Postniaster-General ClarksOn,
it has been decided to allow rate of
l cent per word to be charged on these
messages, until definite and final rate
is agreed upon. This agreement does
not apply to kilograms sent from the
departments in this city, as here the
amount is simply credited on the
books.
