THE BERING SEA DISCUSSION.
Blaine Has Hit on New Points that Stun
the British Statesmen.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 7-Considerable interest is
manifested here in the latest phase OF the Bering
sea discussion disclosed by the publication of
Blaine's reply to Lord Salisbury. Blaine seems
TO have hit upon one or two new points, and
with a view to ascertaining their relative
strength, Sir John Thompson, minister of jus
tice, was asked for his opinion upon them. Sir
John said that in the case of the Ceylon pearl
fisheries the jurisdiction exercised by England
was simply to prohibit injurious operations in
those fisheries by British subjects, and that
there have been no attempts to exclude foreign
ers from the pearl fisheries or TO restrain their
operations.
"what do You think of Blaines contention as
regards 81. Helena?'
hThst." answered Sir John, "seems to he new
point raised. and takes us back TO 1916. Napoleon
was then confined to St Helena, and Great
Britain's actions In excluding vessels from the
water within eighty leagues of 81 Helena was
measure of war, taken in concert with the great
allied powers who alone would be interested in
resisting cession of dominion, and at that time
the assertion OF sovereignty by every maritime
power In the seas surrounding her possessions
was vastly more than il is today. IL will be for
Blaine 70 enforce this contention in the face OF
the fact that Dwight Foster. who conducted a
case for the United States before the Halifax
commission. made his strong point that the pre-
tensions of all maritime countries at that time
could not be cited at the present day as defining
bounds international as regards marine iurisdic-
ton Great Britain has been for years asserting
sovereignty over all the seas surrounding the
British islands. and she had claimed with the
acouiescence of France and Spain all the bank
fisheries within sixty miles of the coast OF New
foundland and the whole gulf of ST. Lawrence,
so that even If the question OF St Helena was
not an entirely constitutional one as the result
of a compact, 1t belonged 20 a period which can
not be cited a precedent IN modern interna-
tiopal law"
ssWhat do you think of the questions which
Blaine desires to submit to arbitration"
"They are all included in the questions which
Lord Salisbury proposed: What were the rights
NV i'm Rel far
were they conceded by Great Britain? Was
Bering sea included In the Pacific ocean - and so
on. Blaine obviously is not sincere in his con-
tention. because he could have raised any of
these Questions of general reierence.n

THE ROBBER SCREAMED AND RAN.
Seattle Business Man Slashes the Coat
Of Footpad Who Held Him Up.

Two footpads who attempted to hold up a
Seattle business man. whose name could not be
learned, last night between and o'clock, al
most came to grief. The man was walking
along West street. and at the corner of Battery
two men approached him, one in front and the
other from behind, and ordered him to throw
up his hands. He had his hand on a dirkknife
in his oyercoat pocket, and as he threw up his
hands he ierked the knife open and made a
slash at the man in front OF him, who had
already fastened onto his watch chain, and
struck him across the breast with the knife, cut
ting his coat clear across. The robber
screamed, "0h! God he has a knife dropped
the watch which he had pulled out of his
pocket. and the two ran away, pursued by the
man they supposed few seconds before to be at
their mercy. He did not catch them, however.
The case was reported TO an officer and he
started out in search of the man with a cut in
his coat, but his search was fruitless. About 10
or ii o'clock two men, one of whom had cut
across the breast of his coat, entered the saloon
across from the Bellevue house, and started 10
play cards They soon got into a row, and left
just a few minutes before the captain of the
merchants patrol came in. Those who saw
them can identity them, and ii is probable that
they will not escape,

To be Robbed of Health.

By pestilential climate, by a voca
ton entailing constant exposure, physi-
cal overwork or sedentary drudgery al
the desk, is hard lot. Yet many per-
sons originally possessed of fair consti-
tuition suffer this deprivation before the
meridian of life is passed. To any and

no purer or more agreeable preservative
of the greatest earthly blessings can be
recommended than Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which inures the system to china

bane of sedentary brain workers, pre-

and prevents it. checks the growth OF a
