WASHINGTON, June 3.--It is conceded
on all sides here that an agreement to
maintain closed season in the seal
fisheries of Behring sea will remove all
danger of a conflict over the seizure of
pdachers during tine season, and will in
dicate an earnest purpose on the part of
Great Britain and the United States to
reach an agreement on the main ques-
ton in dispute, but it is still an open
question whether they will be able to
agree on the terms on arbitration.
The state department has not yet re-
ceived a reply to Blaine's counter sug-
gestions for the questions to be SUBJ
mitted for arbitration, and until reply
is received the department must remain
in doubt as to the prospects of a speedy
settlement of the dispute. The only in
formation the state department has on
the subject is the announcement in the
British parliament that Lord Salisbury
was about to make q reply to Mr.. Blaine
which would probably bring the two
countries closer together.
