Sea Question.


Sea Question.
LONDON, March H. The Standard,
commenting on the Behring Sea papers,
says: Both nations will rejoice to know
that the differences have narrowed until
they have reached shape at which both
sides can agree to arbitrate. Nothing
could be more barren or irritating than
to attempt to appraise the relative value
of polemical gains.
The Times says: 1t is difficult to imag-
inc how Blaine can persist in keeping
the quarrel open after Lord Salisbury has
accepted the bulk of his own proposed
terms for a conference, or can make it a
grievance. The terms declined have been
shown to be manifestly unjust to Eng
land. The result of the Canadian cleo
tions, following the popular reaction
against the new tariff law in the United
States, may induce him to reflect that
more success can be gained by fair and
amicable dealing than by high-handed
actions and tall talk.
