BEHRlNG SEA FISHERIES.
Debate in the Canadian Parliament or
 the Question of Jurisdiction.

the Question of Jurisdiction.
 OTTAWA, March 30-In the senate Mir. McInnis drew the attention of the govern ment to the serious injury that would accrue to the sealing industry of British Columbia if the United States governme:, e:,t were permit ted to enforce the ri ht of exclusive jurisdic- tion in Behring sea- to which, according to the presidents recent proclamation, it was now laying claim. The Dominion govern ment had been negligent in protecting the fishing industry of the Pacific, which de- manded equal attention with the fisheries of tho Atlaut,c The claim to jurisdiction now set up by the United States was one they had refused to recognize as veste in Russia be- fore their acquisition of that territory, and no country in the world would sustain them in their present contention.
 Senator Macdonald gave notice that on Wednesday he would ask wheth the gov ernment of the United States still adheres to its contention that the portion of Behring sea conveyed by Russia, together with the terri tory of Alaska, Is under its exclusive juriS- diction, regardless of international usage3 Whether any agreement has been made be- tween the Imperial government and the United States government on the basis of in- ternational usage, under which British vessels could hunt and fish without molestation in the waters of Behring sea beyond tho inter- national three mile limit! If not, whether the government will make such representa- tions to the Imperial government as may be deemed necessary tor the more ample pro tection of vessels and citizens of the Dominion entering Behring sea TOT lawful commercial purposes; and whether the question of com pen>ation to the owners of Dominion vessels and cargoes seized in Behring sea in the year 1887 by armed vessels of the United States is receiving due consideration, and when may settlement be reasonably expecteda
