SEALING IN BEHRING SEA.
The Fishery Dispute Between the United
States and Great Britain.

The Fishery Dispute Between the United
States and Great Britain.
NEW YORK, July S.-The World this
morning has double-leaded story purp0rt-
ing to give the history and present status
of negotiations between the United States
and Great Britain relative to the Behring
Sea seal fishery dispute. The paper states
that Blaine began by trying to maintain
that Behriug Sea was q closed sea, but,
forced to abandon that position, he then
commended that the United States had GER
tain legal rights in Bebring Sea which
Great Britain did not possess; but latter a
long debate he finally conceded the matter
was one to be settled by agreement When
Blaine raised the question of the right OF
the United States to prevent the capture of
seals in Behring Sea by British vessels, Sir
Julian Pauncef0te pointed out that when
Russia SCI up the same contention in 1924,
this Government was the first to resist 1t.
After much argument on this point,
Blame made the proposition that no persons
except the North American Commercial
Company. under contract with the United
States, should be allowed to capture seals
in Be hiring Sea. Finding Sir Julian
Pauncefote would not consent to such an
arrangement he was perpexed. yet pre-
pared to listen to the proposition ad-
vanced by the British Minister, which was
to prevent the destruction Of seal in Behr-
ing Sea during the season and TO keep Brit
ish and Canadian vessels outside of the
Pribylov zone until the matter could be re-
ferred to joint commission appointed by
both Governments and, in the case of fail
ure to arrive at satisfactory agreement,
that the matter be referred 10 one or two
OF the crowned heads Of Europe to act as
arbitrators, whose decision in the matter
should be final. This proposition is said to
have been entirely satisfactory to Blaine,
but by no means pleasing TO the President,
who rejected it,
The World states it is likely there may be
branch of information relating to the
subject which would, if made public, cause
1t to appear in less serious light. If the
matter were as grave as has been indicated
1t Is not at all likely that Blaine would be
resting quietly at Bar Harbor.

Yas shipped by Denis j. Murphy to A. l..
Barnett, London, and the express company
charged IS 60 for carrying his snakeship to
his destination.
Mr.. Barnett is Of Bf..ss.nl, England, and he
says that in the great collection OF SNAKES
in the London Zoo there is not single
American "rattler." He proposes to endow
the gardens with one.
The snake which he secured was captured
several weeks ago, near Ellabel on the Sa-
yannah and Western Railroad, by DR..
Mooney, and was presented TO Captain
Dabney, Chief Engineer of the road, who
named the serpent Ellabel, after the place
where he was caught. The reptile has
been on exhibition at j. j. Sullivan's for
couple of weeks, and it was there that Mr..
Barnett saw him. Captain Dabney in the
meantime presented the snake to Mr.. Muir
ply, by whom he was sent to London.
An effort was made to secure transporta-
tion for the "rattler" by the Ocean Steam
ship Line, but it declined to carry that kind
of freight. The snake was securely boxed,
and the box was covered by thick, heavy
wire network.-Savannah News.

1t is set up at Kaiserlautern to the memory
of the late Emperor Frederick. Some years
ago, while still Crown Prince, lie paid a
visit to the hospital at Kaiserlautern, where
a number of Protestant ladies care for sick
children. The Crown Prince went about in
his kindly way, STOPPING his tall form to
talk with some of the little ones. Among
them was little cripple, son Of an infan-
try sergeant. The Crown Prince asked his
name. and when the little fellow shyly said
1t was Frederick the Prince took his little
namesake in his arms and caressed him.
The little boy was attracted by the stars
and crosses which the Crown Prince (who
was in uniform) wore on his breast aud be-
gan lingering them while the Prince chatted
with him. This little episode was never
forgotten at Kaiserlautern, and when the
Emperor died they raised his statue with
the little boy in his arms playing with the
medals on his breast. The statue, which
is of bronze and little over lfe-size, stands
in the quadrangle of the hospital, close by
the spot where he took up the little cripple.

used for that explosive After two or three
preliminary trials four shots were made
at distance of 5000 yards. The firing was

About 1000 Indians are at the agency, and
created disturbance to-day when they
found no rations could be issued until
Wednesday. The delay was caused by the
fact that the cattle have not been driven
in from the range, thus leaving the Indians
almost starving from Monday until to-mor-
row. The Indians also object to be
counted in the census, and the censu. can
be taken with eat difficulty. The condition
of the indians is deplorable. Yesterday
