THE BERlNG SEA DISPUTE.

Differences between the American and
British SesotIators.
OTTAWA, OST., May 20.-The Hon. Mr..
Tupper has 80 far recovered from his re-
cent indisposition as to resume active
work. He met mis- colleagues and doubt
less communicated to them the history
OF the Bering Sea negotiations up to date.
1t is understood that the principles.of
the settlement OF the controversy have
already been adopted. The details,
however, have not proved, and are not
likely to prove, easy OF settlement.
The negotiations had not been carried
on long before it was found that the
American and British negotiators were
not SO far apart in their propositions as
would have been at first supposed. Sec.
retary Blaine could not and did not urge
the view that the United States exercised
Jurisdiction over half OF the Bering Sea.
The cardinal principle was readily
reached, that whatever arrangements
should be arrived ut between the two
nations should be consistent with the
object which the United States had in
view in exercising quasi authority over
the sea-namely, the seals. This having
been settled, one would think that the
rest would be plain, but such has not
been the case. There is dispute as to
the facts connected with tho fisheries.
The British side, too, are somewhat in
clined to regard with suspicion series
OF restrictions on deep sea seal hunting
Tor the purpose Of postponing Indefinite
ly the day OF determination, while the
company which is licensed by the Amer
can Government is allowed to practice
extermlnating methods on tho Islands.
The argument that it would be to the in
terest OF the company to perpetuate seal
life on the islands was not received by
the British side with any degree OF nc.
ceptance, as it would be but natural that
q company should be merccnary enough
to regard their privileges as one to be
made the most OF while they had it.
One OF the restrictions which it is pro-
posed to make would be the total pre-
vention OF hunting lin the passes be-
tween the islands in the Aleutian archi-
pe!ago. These are the doors by which
the seals return from the south to the
BribyloI Islands in the breeding season,
and vessels stationed there could kill
thousands of seals before they had time
to deposit their young on the island,
There are wide differences OF opinion
on this aud other points, the iniorma-
ton in possession oil the Treasury De-
partment at Washington, and that pos
sessed by the Minister OF Marine here,
being at variance in somo important
particulars.
The ncgotiators are OF the opinion that
the question OF fact should be settled be.
fore any further attempt is made to def.
uitely and satisfactorily terminate the
controversy. To this end it is deemed
that the appointment Ola commission OF
experts to make report on the facts
will be necessary. The approval OF this
course by the various governments is
now awaited.

Mr.. Atkinson, to-day, in iavoring a

and opposing the bounty system, which

strong argument for the general applica.
ton OF the protective principle. He took
the position that the same protection
should he applied to sugar as to wool or
any industry, and that the increase in
sugar beet raising in the West warranted
this; that u bounty system Is un. Amer
lcan and Il mistake, and that the revenue
at present derived from sugar was abso.

the seven millions which it Is estimated
will be required to pay the bounty would
be too great drain on the revenue.

Then one OF the men went away, but
soon returned with a Winchester, and
the two men made another demand for
their money, but Collin still refused.
One Of them said he would give him just
eight minutes to settle, holding his
watch in his hand while the other held
the gun in close proximity to their vic.
tim. Collins did not appear to weaken,
and at the end OF the eight minutes the
man shot aud killed him. The tragedy

uc Legislation IL Sometimes

Waiting for War.

LONDON, May 20.-In the IJonse NJ
Lords to-day tho Earl Of Emyss AMI
March, Liberal Conservative, denounced
tue tendency OF the Government to.
wards socialist legislation. Parliauen..
ae declared, seemed ready to do any.
thing in tho shape OF grandmothofIy
legislation and to NEEDLE with affairs
that ought to be left to private initia.
i've, like workmen's houses, tho pay.
ment Of wages and the feeding and cdr.
cation OF the poor. The London Cour.
cll' he said, was especially inclined 10
predatory objects, and fostcred projects
to abolish lease.hollers and deprive
landlords OF their ground rents. They
even proposed to take by compulsior,
without compensation, property belong.
ing to city guilds in order to apply II 10
what they called indu1trial scheme,.
Serious legislative bodies ought to look
~here socialism was leading. It was
not land alone, but every kind OF pro,.
erty that was threatened. Freedom of
contract and freedom OF private entey-
prise were assailed. State help was suts
stltuted fot self help, thus destroying tia
fibre OF the nation.
Lord Salisbury, the Prime Minister
admitted the existence OF a strong ten
dency to lean upon tho state on every
occasion. Against this, he said, sta.ef-
men must guard. Ii they imposed upt n
the state burdens beyond its power 10
bear, they would create an inde6nit,
source oi expense and would ultimately
produce unlimited corruption, Socia-
Ism might be defined rs the state doing
that might be done by private
persons Tor the sake OF gain. Some times
THIS was very unwise thing to do, ana
at other times wise thing, There was
nothing so socialistic as the mint and
postothce,. yet at the same time there
was nothing more justiiable. 1t was
not practical politics to classify legisia.
tive proposals rs socialistic or otherwise.
Every subject ought to be treated on It's
own merits.
Too much Importance, Lord Salisbury
declared, was attached to the spectre Of
socialism. The public could be trusted
to find out what practical good lies be-
yond the socialist doctrine. Nobody not
absolutely blind could deny the exist
ence OF great evils from which arose tho
socialist proposals and action. Indus
trial and other causes produced graf
centres OF misery. We are bound to do
al we can to remedy these evils even il
we get called socialists, knowing we arc
undertaking no new principle or strik-
Ing out on no new route, but are simply
pursuing the long and healthy tradition
of English legislation.

Gregory and r. F. Plat, director and
member OF the Executive Committee Of
the California Fruit Union, have resigned
and withdrawn from the union. They
give as their reason that the machinery
of the union was not practical method

ifornia fruits. They wanted to encour-
age the Eastern dealers to spread Cali
fornia fruit over the country, and say
this cannot be done if the dealers are
obliged to pay tribute to some fruit
