SHOULD 81 SETTLED.

The interests or the United States and
OF Great Britain In respect to the Beh-
ring Sea seal fisheries are mutual and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS conflicting and contra
dictory.
The United States owns the only In
land shores on which seals can be prop
erly caught; hence, the catching is nat.
urally and rightfully an American in
dustry, while curing and dyelng the fur
is, by right Of superior experiences and
success, an English industry.
II the United States would not under
take 20 support the absurd claims Of the
monopoly, Into whose hands the seal FISH
ing industry has fallen and If Great
Britain would cede the claims of the
Canadians to catch the seals in the open
sea, thereby jeOpardlzlng the existence
Of the industry by the extinction of the
SEAL the dispute would be easily settled.
But the American monopoly wishes the
United States to claim exclusive
jurisdiction over sea, the mouth Of
which is / 900 miles wide, and of which
the United States owns but one shore.
That Of course is preposterous. Neither
England, Russia nor any other maritime
power wohId consent to allow the United
States the exclusive jurisdiction over the
Behring Sea.
The Canadian demand Is unjust and
the United States could not consent and
should not consent to an indiscrlminate
and unrestricted slaughter, which means
nothing less than the extinction Of tbs
fur.besring seal
! Meantime our Congress has imposed
the duty OF maintaining by force thl
r theory that the Behrlng is closed ses
: and the British Government have notiae,
!, our State Department that any sttemp
r TO enforce that statute will be resisted
. To make her words seem emphatic, Eng
8 land has three men-of-war stationed i

$ The situation is not only unnecessary
. because the dispute could be easily set

NEWARK, August "A severe rain and
electrical storm passed over this section
yesterday afternoon. A heavy cloud from
the West swept over the town and many
were very much alarmed The streets
were flooded. Several trees suffered, but
otherwise no damage was done.
George A. Garrett, who resided with
his son-in-l law, James II. Stell, near
Appleton, Md, died yesterday after a
lingering illness He had been confined
to the house for several months. He
was about SO years old The funeral
takes place Monday.
Miss Belle Rambo, youngest daughter
Of John Rsmbo, living at the West End,
died yesterday morning. She had been
confined TO the house for the past year,
suffering with. consumption.
A colored woman was struck by loco

has not denied that ugly interview, all
though he should have done SO even to
the extremity of lying like gentle
man. In view Of these facts, and Of the
time which has elapsed since the cottage
scandal was published-the middle of
June Russell Harrison appears to be a
very fresh young man. he appears to
have inherited the ill-tempered impru-
dence of one side of the house and the
supercilious self-conceit of the other
side. The combination does not place him
high in the scale Of mental calibre, dis
erection or anlability. To be plain, Rus
sell Harrison is impertinent and irrele-
want and he has deepened the odium of
the cottage scandal by inartistic lying.

Of which reaches the Treasury for the
benefit of 400 900 who are working in

somewhere, somebody pays it, and
somebody gets the benefit of It.
The condition Of the farmers is proof
