A BRITISH BLUFF.

President Harrison has sent to Congress
all the correspondence up to date relating
to the Behring sea fisheries, as to which
Secretary Blaine and Lord Salisbury have
agreed to disagree. There are the letters
Of both diplomats, and together with the
notes, treaties, etc., on which each stand is
taken. Lord Salisbury argues that Secre-
tary Blaine misconstrues the position of
Adams and Canning, who, the Secretary
claims, held that the vessels of other
nations were prohibited from approaching
within distance of 100 miles from our
coast. The British Minister asserts that
this is contrary to modern internal usage.
Secretary Blaine, however, calls to his
attention the action Of Great Britain in
excluding vessels from the seas within
eight leagues of st, Helena when she had
Napoleon there as prisoner, and in an
other instance where, by just such sys-
TEN, England protects the Ceylon pearl
fisheries. Consistency isa Jewel, however
that is not found i'll the Queens crown,
! and therefore these matters are ignored.
| Lord Salisbury also contends that his
government has never given her mighty
approval to the Russian decree or u1lase Of
1921 which established Russian jurisdic-
ton over the Bchring sea from the straits
to the tifty-frst parallel, and claims fur
thcr that that jurisdiction was rcnounced
by Russia in 1926 by a ukase, and then fin
ally vows that England knows no Behrine
sea, or any waters so-called: to her that
section being known as the Pacific ocean
So this makes another point Of contro
versy, the United States holding the Bchr
ing sea is body of water that was
separate and apart, and not included il
those treaties by the phrase, the Pacific
Ocean," The point is sustained by his
tory and by CUSTOM which is the stronges
law known among the code OF nations.
Russia asked no concession from Eng
land of her right to the Bchring sea: th
Oh and lofty consent Of Great Britain i
not necessary to establish the jurisdiction
Of another nation over seas which borle
on that nations territories, and beyon'
that question there is nothing to arbitratt

THE LATEST NEWS.
A Bright Outlook for a Compromise of
The Legislative Situation.
Idaho Indians on the War Path
Everything Quiet at Pine Ridge.
Special to the New Northwest,

HELENA, Jan SIT is rumored here to-
night apparently on good authority, that
the Republican House will tomorrow pro-
pose to the Democrats an adjustment of
the Legislative complication on practically
the same basis suggested by District Attor-
ney Elbert D. Weed, in to-day's Journal.
This would be fair and wise, and | have
heard general expression favorable to it
to-day.
The plan suggested by District Attorney
Weed is as follows:
"Let the fifty members of the lower
House whose title to their seats is unques-
toned, o5 Republicans aud 25 Democrats,
meet together and organize legal House
of the Legislature. Let the ten claiming
seats from Silver Bow county, and whose
seats are contested, five Democrats and
five Republicans, stand aside for the time
being. That is when the so members
shall have perfected their organization. let
it be made to appear to that body that q
contest exists between these 10 gentlemen
from Silver Bow county as to seats in the
House, and hen let the matter be referred
| to committe, composed of an equal mum
Der of Republicans and Democrats for in
vestigation and report. This committee
so composed, would doubtless not be read,
. to report until the unrm of the Legislator
had expired by limit;sion. These ten gen

TO FORCE FREE COINAGE.
A Suit for scigniorage to Test the Law of
the Mints.

PHILADELPHIA, jan. 3.-To-tlay Judge
Harley =. Morse and George G. Merrick,
of Denver, called at the United States mint
Of this city with Il brick Of silver weighing
514.S ounces fine, and presented it to the
weighing clerk and demanded that il be
coined into money Upon their demand
being refused they waited upon Col. Bosby
shell, superintendent Of the mint, and made
the same demand verbally Of him. Col.
Rosbyshell refused tc accept the brick for
private coinage, and Morse and Merrick
then presented him with . formal demand
iii writing After presenting the demand,
Mcrricll asked Col. Bo-byshell to give them
!; certificate or letter certifying that he aud
Morse had offered their silver for coinage
and that it had been refused by him, so
they would be saved the tronblc Of PROV
ing that fact in court. whore they proposed
to test the right Of the government to re
fuse bullion. In compliance with their
request Col. Bosbyshcll gave them n letter.
After receiving Col. Bosbyehcll's written
refusal to receive their bullion, the two
gentlemen wrapped UP their brick and de-
parted The ground upon which Morse
and Merrick basel their demand is, they
claim, a constitutional one, and denies the
right of the government To make what is
known as ''seignorage." At present the
market value of silver bullion is 1885
cents per ounce fine OF '1l.25 grains while
the actual value Of an ounce when coined
kes bullion price and makes the difference
which is "scigniorage," between that price
and legal tender value. 1t Is this seignior
age which the gentlemen who presentec
their silver brick at the mint to-day think
they have as much right to rs the govern

LEGISLATIVE LINKS.
ESPECIAL to New Northwest. l


HELENA, Jan. s, 1s91.-The Legislative
bodies were organized at noon and the tri-
angular position of last winter resumed.
The Senate organized by electing John J.
Fallon Chief Clerk; David Marks, Assist
ant; and Miles Finlan, Sergeant-at-A Arms.
The Republican members assembled at
Electric Hall, as designated, ut 10 M, on
the assumption that this is a new Legisla-
ture. Auditor Kenney called the roll.
Members present, 30; one more than
quorum; absent, Bray.
The House organized by electing A. G.
Witter Speaker; Benz. f. Webster, Chief
Clerk; and s. N. Nicholson, sergeant-at-
Arms. The House then adjourned till 3
D. M. No Democratic members appeared
in this hall.
The Democrats assembled at Webster

Clerk; Reardon, Of Missoula, SergeaIt-at-
Arms, and Rev. S. j. Hawkins, of New

mendation of Penrose, that his prayers
We're short.
Reported communications have passed
between them and the Senate recognizing
each other. The presumption is that Gov
ernor Toole will recognize them and send
in his message, and that they will then go
through the forms Of legislation. The
issue will come when that legislation is
brought to test in the courts. There is
general good feeling prevalent, and the
determination Of the issue will be left tc
the courts unless an adjustment is reached
before by mutual consent.

SCORING HUDSON COUNTY JURIEs.


Case Before Them Ag ain.
Judge Knapp heard argument this
morning on the application for a new
trial In the ease of Thomas McAleer
vs.. The Tide Water Oil Com
pany. Some two years ago,
McAleer, who was employed in
the works OF the oil company at Bayoune
stepped into vat of boiling vltrol and
was badly burned. Il was part OF his
duty to walk on a twenty inch walk be
tween the watts. 1t was dark there
so that he had to feel his way.
During his absence one day a pipe
was laid across this walk, and he not be-
ing told of its presence trlpped over It and
fell into the vat.
Lawyer Dunn, the Elizabeth Assembly
man, who became famous as the man
who secured the passage of the Fire Coun-
sellor act. which enabled him to be ad-
initted to the bar without studying
the statutory time, obtained a verdict Of
$4,000 for McAleer. Mr.. Alvah Clark
this morning argued for a new trial on
the ground that the verdict was
against the weight of evidence. Dur
ing his argument Mr.. Clark said that
he would never try jury case again in
Hudson county without applying for a
struck jury, and he bitterly denounced
the average Hudson county jury.
Judge Knapp granted him a rule to
show cause why anew trial should not be
granted, and made it returnable July IL.
