ENGLAND'S ATTITUDE.
Ample Protection to Be Afforded Canadian
SealeFS Next Summer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The Herald's Ottawa
special says: l understand that the British
Minister at Washington received few
days ago Blaine's long heralded note de-
Ginning the latest proposal of Lord Sails
oury to refer the Behring Sea question to
arbitration. The note is said to be couched
IN such terms as to dissaude the British
government from renewing its efforts for
settlement or an arrangement prior to the
opening of the next sealing season, and the
government of the United States will there
lore be left to devise its own measures for
forwarding or protecting its interests con-
iormable to its own views of the situation.
Representatives of British Columbian
sealers have been officially informed, in re-
ply to their renewed inquiries, that their
constituents may proceed with their ar
rangements for the approaching season in
lull confidence that an adequate i'm
perlai naval force will be on the
ground to extend to them full protection
IN the lawful pursuit of their calling. This
information is based on personal assurances
given by Salisbury to Sir Charles Tupper,
the Canadian High Commissioner, and TO
Sir John Thompson, the Canadian Minister
OF justice, last autumn, and officially re-
colonial Office to the Governor-General.
Beyond the fact that the number and
strength of tho vessels on the Pacific Station
VIII be materially augmented, with a view
70 meeting any possible measures in con-
temptation by Blaine, it is mI ossible to OBJ
tam at present any information respecting
me arrangements to be made by the Ad-
h'lralty for the protection of British vessels
INA seal the fisheries in Behring Sea.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-It is understood
IN Official ana diplomatic circles that the re-
port from Ottawa is true. that the
Hote Of MIR. Blaine rejecting Sails
eury's proposal for Behring Sea arbitra-
ton was delivered to Sir Julian Pauncefote
several days ago. This note, together with
the accompanying pal ers. it was said at the
State Department on Monday last, was
ready for the action of the President and it
was confidently believed that the document
would be sent TO Congress immediately
