BEHRING SEA JINGo.

London Papers in Favor of Settling
the Dispute by Arbitration.
LONDON, Jan. 6.--The St. James Gazette
to-day says that it accepts the official de-
nial in regard to the Behring sea troubles,
adding, however: "But why ia the United
States navy being massed in the Pacific
ocean unless it is to make Behring sea
mare ctdnSum2 The officers Of the Ameri-
eau navy do not act upon rumors printed in
American papers"
The PdU Mall Gazette says Secretary
Blaine obviously means to try more
bounce for the sake of making political
capital. We are convinced, however. that
the Americans will not support Mr.. Blaine.
1t is imperative to arbitrate the matters in
dispute"
BLAINE's sPREAD-EAGLEIsM.
The Globe says that it attributes friction
tion TO Secretary Blaine's spread-eagleism
and iC is Of the opinion that In view of pos
sible, though unlikely isplay of force in
Behring sea, Great Britain ought instantly
to strengthen her Pacific squadron. The
Globe also advocates the settlement of all
matters in dispute by means Of arbitration,
BLAINE'S LATEST DISPATCH.
The press association of this city an
nounces at Lord Salisbury is engaged in
the consideration of a forty page dispatch
received from Secretary Blaine Dec 30.
which is the latest dispatch received from
Washington. 1t docs not contain definite
acceptance of Lord Salisbury's proposals for
arbitration on the main question, that of
the right of British sealers TO catch seals in
Behring sea. Secretary Blaine discusses
only the subsidiary poi It, viz Arbitration
on the time of closing sealing.
PAUNCEFoTE's LETTER.
Secretary Blaine has not replied to Sir
Pauncefote's letter of june last, in
which the latter says that her maiesty's
government must hold the government of
the United States responsible for the con-
sequence of trouble withN British vessels
contrary to principles Of International
law. The press association also states that
no preparations have been made to aug
ment the British feet in the North Pacific
ocean, as such step might be regarded as
menace.
A SEIZURE MIGHT MEAN WAR.
Sir Edward Clark, solicitor general,
speaking at Plymouth tonight, said, with
reference to the Behring sea dispute, that
Lord Salisbury was only asseI ting the doc
trine laid down by the United
States government years ago. namely
that no nation could claim sovereignty over
the open sea. Hostllities betN cen England
and the United States, said Sir Edward,
would shock the conscience of the world
and even the contemplation of
such hostilities would be an out
rage upon civilization and humanity.
1t is to be hoped that Lord Salisburys
offer will be accepted; but if an English
vessel Is seized on the high ssas and vio-
lence is used toward British subjects. one
fatal half hour would put it beyond the
power of the two countries to settle the diff
Guilty by arbitration"

BLAINE SUED By A EoLLANDsR.
he Wants to Recover What He Lost
on Confederate Bonds.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. 6.-Jacques Van
Raalte, a native of the city of Rotterdam,
Holland. but residing and doing business in
Glasgow, Scotland, where be also represents
the Netherlands as consul, to-day instituted
a suit in the circuit court of the United
States for the district Of Maryland, by w.
Starr Gephart, his solicitor, against James
G. Blaine as Secretary Of State of the
United States of America. The bill sets
forth that William II. Seward, when Secre-
tary of State, issued on July 2S, 1868, a
proclamation which recited that "neither
the United States nor any state shall
pay any debt or obligation occurred in aid
of the insurreotion or rebellion against the
United States, but all such debt and obli-
CATION shall be held illegal and void.n
BASIS OF THE ACTION.
Prior to July IS, 1868, the plaintiff pur>
chased for their full. value 1926, 600 Of nego-
table coupon bonds, issued by the southern
states. as JOINT and several obligations, and
he contends that the proclamation was
illegal in that it included past debts or obliga
tions, and Secretary Stewards proclamation
contained an implied admission that with
out such prohibition the states re-
ferred to would owe just and
valid obligation. The plaintiff seeks an
entrance into court to prove, first, that the
proclamation obliges the Secretary of State
to take the curious position that, although
the states never lost their status in the
union, yet their obligations could be an
nulled if they had; and, second, that state
obligations already incurred could be thus
repudiated and vested rights taken away.
RIGHTS AS A FOREIGNER.
The plaintiff also claims that being
citizen Of Holland, such action
on the part of the Secretary of State were
also Illegal and void, because il was lnterfer-
ence with his rights as citizen OF a foreign
country, between which and the United
States treaty stipulations existed that pro-
tected him. The suit is to recover for
destroying the value Of negotiable
bonds and their coupons. Interest is also
claimed on the bonds, amounting to the
same as the principal the amount being
$780, Mr.. Gsphart says as the govern
ment Of the United States cannon be sued,
it was necessary to proceed against its
officer, the Secretary OF State. In that
respect he thinks the suit involves the same
principles as some of the recent suits
against the officers of the state of Vir-
ginia.

RIOTINGIN SCOTLAND.
Strikers Attack the Dormitory of the
Eon-Union Men.

Strikers Attack the Dormitory of the
Eon-Union Men.
GLASGOW, Jan. 6.-The disturbances
caused by the eviction of the railroad
strikers from the quarters provided for
them by the railroad companies have not
yet ceased. in spite of the presence on the
scene of the evictions of large force Of
police backed up by troops, rioting was
resumed to-day at Coalbridge, about nine
miles from here on the Monkland canal, the
chief center of iron manufacture in Scot
land. The police and troops, who have now
been almost continuously Oh duty for
forty-etght hours, passed a wearisome night,
as the strikers, now driven TO extreme des-
peration, were making the widest threats.
AN ATTACK ON THE DoRMIToRY.
However, the strikers practically ab~
stained from violence through the night,
but this morning they mustered at an early
hour about the dormitory at Coolbridgs
occupied by the non-union men who have
been employed in place of the strikers
After pelting the building with stones, the
rioters made rush forward and stormed it
in most approved fashion. The police on
duty at that spot made a gallant defense,
using their batons, freely, and charging
the strikers in spite of showers Of stones
hurled at them on all sides. During the
conflict a number of police aud a still
greater number of strikers were more or
less seriously injured. The rioters were
fiually repulsed just as strong reinforce
ments Of police and troops were being sent
to the scene Of the collision.
THE ROADS IN BAD SHAPE.
LONDON, Jan. z, 5. A. M.-The Times
Glasgow correspondent says: "It must be
admitted that the situation Of the railroad
strike is not improved. The Caledonian
company ID still short 1000 hands.
The company is overwhelmed With
applications from novices, but in
two days only twenty-four hands
have been engaged. This is the statement
of an official, aud therefore does not esti-
mate too highly the compeny's needs. Goods
traffic is in state of collapse, worse than
that of last wee :, despite the fact that the
jdleness of the miners tells in the compauy's
favor" K glish merchants declare Il IL
practically impossible to send goods by rail
to Glasgow.

Banker Kean's Failure Involved His
Missionary Fund.
CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-Bishop Taylor Of the
Methodist Episcopal church is in straits
because Of Banker Kean'S failure. He had
collected $4,000 for the support Of Congo
missions. Mr.. Kean was the treasurer Of
the fund, and deposited the amount in his
bank. In November the bishop obtained
Mr.. Keans draft for S., 900. and left for
the scene of his .labcrs. The remaining
$4,000 was In the bank when 1t failed, and
the result In regard 20 the London draft is In
doubt. The claim Is now set up that this
money was trust fund and should be paid
in full out Of the assets. Relying on this
fund Bishop Taylor employed a number Of
missionaries whose transportation cannot
now be secured, and ordered supplies which
cannot be paid FOR. The petition will be
argued Friday.
