In view OF the reports which have
been received a- 90 the dlmluutlOu of
the seal herds IN the B-lrlng Sea.
deemed It wise to propose 20 Her
Mal-~ty's government IA February last
that an agreement for a closed season
should be- made. pending the negotIa-
tiOns for arbitration which then seemed
20 be- approaching a favorable CON
clu-iuu. After .much correspondence,
and delays for which this government
was not responsible. AN agreement was
reached and signed on the 9th of June
bv which Great Britain undertook, from
that date and until May I. 1872, % pro
hibit the killing by her subjects of seals
in the Behrlug Sea, and the government
of the United States, during the same
period. TO enforce its existing prohibi-
tion against pelagic sealing and 10 limit
the catch by the fur seal company upon
the islands TO 500 skins. If this agree
ment could have been reached earlier,
in response 20 the strenuous endeavors of
this government, 1t would have been
more effective; but, coming even as late
as il did, il unquestiOnably resulted IN
greatly diminishing the destruction of
the seals by the leSding sealers.
In my last annual message | stated
that the basis of arbitration proposed by
Her Majesty's government for the ad-
iustment of the lOng-pending cOntro-
versy as 10 the seal fisheries was not ac-
ceptable. / am glad now TO be able TO
announce that terms satisfactory TO this
government have been agreed upon and
that an agreement as 10 the arbitratOrs
is all that is necessary to the completion
of the convention.
Disputed boundaries
Provision should be made for joint
demarcation of the frontier line between
Canada and the United States wherever
required by the increasing border set
Elements and especially for the exact
location of the water boundary in the
straits and rivers. / should have been
glad to announce some favorable dispO-
sitiOn Of the boundary dispute between
Great Britain and Venezuela. touching
the western frontier Of British Guiana,
but the friendly efforts of the United
States in that direction have thus far
been unavailing. This government will
continue 70 express its concern at any
appt arance of foreign encroachment on
territories long under the administra-
tive control Of American states.
Meat Inspection.
The law of the last congress provided
a system of inspection for our meats
intended for export and clothing the
president with power 10 exclude for
eign products from our market in case
the country sending them should per
petuate unjust determinations against
any product of the United States. placed
this government in a position TO effect
lively urge the removal of such discrim-
nations against our meats. IL is graft
fying to be able 20 state that Germany,
Denmark, Italy. Austria and France, in
the order named, have opened their
ports TO inspected American pork pro-
ducts
The removal of these restrictions. in
every instance, was asked for and given
solely upon the ground that we had now
provided a meat inspection that should
be accepted as adequate TO the complete
removal Of the dangers, real and fan
cied, which had been previously urged.

Assaulted By the Crowd Cripman
Draws His Revolver.
At $50 last night as a cable car was
crossing from Ottawa-st. to Ionia-st. on
Waibridge, the wheels struck some
obstruction on the rails and jumped
the track. There was crowd of one
hundred or more standing about the
place when the accident occurred.
There was only one Passenger on the
car besides the conductor and gripman,
F.. T.. Mears, who was OFT duty for
supper. The men waited until an
other car came along, and rope was
fastened To the derailed ear to pull 1t
back on the track. The trainmen got
Oft and began to push on the car, and
stones and sticks began to fly. Mears,
the gripman, pulled q revolver and
faced the crowd, telling them to stand
back or someone wonld get hurt. The
crowd did fall back. but there were
angry muttering and threats expressed.
When Mears put up his revolver and
stepped back on the car q man fol-
lowed him IN n threatening manner
and struck him across the back with q
parasol which he carried in his hand.
Mears claims he was hit in the back of
the head with q stone before he pulled
the gun. He admitted that he had no
permit to carry n concealed weapon,
and that he was not an officer. He
says he came from Cleveland, and ha.
been IN The employ of the company
for a week. He also claims TO have
been n private detective in Chicago.
He will probably be arrested this morn
ing for carrying concealed weapons.

REAL ESTATE MARKET.

sales and Inquiries,

There Appears to DO Little Activity in
sales and Inquiries.
The real estate market for the last
two weeks has been in an unsettled
condition. The tone of the Informa-
ton gained from prominent real estate
dealers is of varying character. The
number of conveyances reported for
registration during the last two weeks
shows falling oil from the record of
previous weeks. The sales that have
been reported show smaller considera-
tons in individual transactions than
those of previous weeks. The reason
for this temporary lull in business as
given by dealers i'll real estate Is the
present unsettled transit question.
People are not certain as to street car
service and are backward about invest
ing in uncertainties. There are rare
opportunities offered for valuable
bargains IN vacant property in the
suburbs, and as soon IA the street car
question is definitely settled this prop
erty will become enhanced In value.
In the opinion of real estate dealers as
soon as the trouble is satisfactorily adj
justed q lively boom in realty will
follow as 3 result of the brief rest
which it has been taking. The pur-
chase Of property at this time, from
present prospects, cannot fail to bring
creditable return to the purchasers.
Business on the old fair ground addi-
ton has been moving along slowly not
withstanding the present dubious as

BATTLE or FAITH.
Rev. Hsbbs Diseoursss GA the ssfesxie
Bsawesa the worla and Faith

Rev. Habbs Dlseoursss GA the struggle
Bstwesa the woria and Faith
The subject OF the discourse OF TIE
Rev. john Brewster Hueos at Grace
Episcopal church last evening was The
World and Path" The word world"
SAID Nr Hubbs, IN It's Bible sense Is
opposed 70 the Word OF Christ, eonse-
quently faith and the world are opposed
70 each other. Although We are living
IL the world, II = not necessary that our
lives be spent as though NE were out OF
the world The apostles all laid down
faith as the basal element or the love OF
Christ, and that which pushed them on
10 the higher consuFamallon OF the love
OF Christ's teachings There are many
who take baptism and shut themselves
up IN monasteres, going through the
world completely excluded from II, and
they die without Knowing what the
world IS. There are three ways CT
knowing God. AS soon as Ne think
Of ourselves We think OF God's
work. We see His work
manifested IN nature; we see
His power painted IN the growing
plant and the yerdsnt fields The Diff
ferent trades or professions are not 10
DO considered as the world, but II a
trade - pursued for the benefit and
progress of mankind that is a religion.
-Four trades and professions are not the
world To be fought against. Ii Is the
pride OF life, the lust OF the flesh. the
sensual pleasures of the world, that are
pictured in the Scriptures as the world.
Before the time of Christ faith played
no activity, because without Him there
is no faith. He WAS the first teacher of
! faith. Faith is that principle by which
conquests are gained and great inven-
tons perfected. We deal with electri-
city, mathematics and axioms by faith.
We have faith in the physicians skill
TO prescribe for us when We are sick.
Faith has done more for the benefit of
| mankind than all else. There Is no
force so strong as faith and this same
| principle was taught by Christ. The
| first evidence of true faith IS accepting
the existence of objects that can not be
seen, and the realization OF the relation
| OF man 10 God.
