The Seal Fishery Question.

WASHINGTON, May SO.-The warlike
dispatches from British Columbia with re-
gard to the expected trouble between the
United States and, Gaeat Britain over the
Behring sea seal fisheries is generally dis
credited by the officers Of the navy de-
partment. It is pointed out that no officer
of rank sufficiently high to make him ac-
quainted with English government pur-
poses would under any circumstances be
SO foolish as to talk in the manner stated
in the dispatch from Victoria, B. c. "A.
prominent naval officer, in speaking on
the subject, said that. If such talk did oc-
cur the speaker was some subaltern who
drank too much beer and lost his head and
had by high talk given . listener to be-
lieve something startling was going to
take place and that he knew all about it.
The United States had no reason to appre-
hend any dificulty. Great Britain assur-
edly would commit no overt of violence in
case her sealers were arrested without
warning this government Of its intentions.
The warning that Great Britain would by,
force dispute the sovereignty of Behring
sea had never been communicated to the
United States and this alone showed the
impr0bability Of the story.

In one years time again they meet.
And kneel before the sovereign's feet |:
And as with gracious outstretched hand
He welcomed home the youthful band.
He natural eagerness expressed.
To see the objects of their quest.
The first such lustrous pearls displays,
That every tongue is loud in praise.
So white, the snow-aakes on their way
Compared to them are dull and gray.
The next diamond more pure,
And larger than the Koh-i-noor,
That shone with such brilliant light,
The sunbeams, shamed. withdrew from
