WAR DECLARED ON SEAL pOACHERS.
Uncle Sam and John Bull Have
Reached an Agreement.
They Will Join Forces Pending the
Final Settlement.
The Modus VivendI and How 1t
Was Arranged.

WASHINGTON. June 15th.-The President
today, issued a proclamation announcing the
agreement between the United States and
Great Britain respecting Behring Sea and
warning American citizens to respect its pro-
visions. The proclamation says:
"For the purpose Of avoiding irritating diff
ferences and with view to promote the
friendly settlement of the questions pending
respective rights In Behring Sea, and for the
preservation of the seal species, the follow
ing agreement Is made, without prejudice to
the rights or claims of either party.
"Her Majesty's Government will prohibit, until
MAY next seal Hg th IN 1nat paFt Oh Benrng sea
cribed in article No. 1 of the treaty of 1867 be-
tween the United States and Russia, and will
vance Of this prohibition by British subjects and
vessels.
"The United States government will prohibit
seal killing for the same period In the same part
of Behring Sea and on the shores and Islands
@ thereof the property OF the 9Rted States (ln ex-
substance and care of the natives) and will
promptly use its best efforts to insure the obser-
vance Of this prohibition by United States citizens
and vessels
''Every vessel or person offending against this
prohibition In the said waters Of Behring Sea out
side of the ordinary territorial limits of the
naval or other duly commiss stoned officers of either
of the high contracting parties bnt they shall be
handed over as soon as practicable to the anth0r-
tiles of the nation to which they respectively be-
long, who shall alone have jurisdiction to try the
offence and impose the penalties for the same.
The witnesses and proofs necessary to establish
the offence shall also be sent with Them"
The agreement also permits British agents
to visit the Seal islands during the modus
vivendi.
The arrangement indicated In the above
proclamation was carried to completion with
degree of speed without precedent In the
history of the State Department, and the
cable has been relied upon to an unw0nted
extent. The agreement was signed this
morning by Sir Julian Pauncefote and MIR.
Wharton, and the Presidential proclamation
followed as quickly as 1t could be prepared.
The Navy Department has also been Used
of the progress and necessities of the case,
and orders are now in preparation for the
immediate dispatch of probably two naval
vessels from San Francisco to Alaska, where
they will assist the three revenue cutters in
the task of driving off the poaching sealing
vessels.
1t will be noticed that the agreement
authorizes the United States vessels to seize
British vessels, which, however,
are to be turned over to the British authori-
ties for trial. and this feature of the agree
ment Is expected to prove Of great value In
the pressing emergency that is held to exist
OF clearing out the law-breaking vessels be-
fore irreparable damage has been done to the
seal fisharias

MERRILL's BIG MILL.
Evidence of What the Canadian
Pacific Does for Maine.

BANGOR, June 15.-Mr. j. B. Merrill of
this city. who is to build the lumber mill at
Lowellt0wn, on the Canadian Pacific, near
the western boundary of the State, has been
for several years acquiring land In that re-
glon. But as it was remote from any waters
in which logs could be driven, nothing had
ever been cut upon it and 1t was not consid-
cred especially desirable. The building of
the Canadian Pacific, however, changed the
aspect of affairs, and Mr.. Merrill finds him
self with 10000 acres bearing the original
growth, mostly spruce, but some pine, sit
uated where it is within easy rail connection
with all New England points via, the Can
adian Pacific and Boston & Maine, or Maine
Central. He proposes to utilize 1t at once
and with that object in view has decided to
erect large steam saw mill on the tract to
saw every kind of long and short lumber.
The site Of the mill will be about one and
one-half miles south of the main line of the
Canadian Pacific and Mr.. Merrill is now
having branch track located to cover that
distance. Civil Engineers Charles ID. BIanch-
ard OF Old Town, and Hugo Clark of Lin
coin, have been there looking the ground
over and will decide VIII ether regular rail-
place. At the mill site Mr.. Merrill can build
a dam 275 feet long and have fine pond for
his logs, which he proposes to do. Every
thing Will be convenient for the floating Of
logs and handling them. Work on the mill
VIII commence right away. 1t will have $50
horse power boilers and 200 horse power
engine. with the usual equipment of saws
and will employ 60 men. Mr. Merrill hopes
to get 1t started by the 18th Of October.
