THE nEnING CONTROVERSY.

The latest letter regarding the Boring
sea controversy indicates that Great
Britain and the American Government
arc gradually getting together in re-
spcct of the points in controversy. The
questions to be submitted to arbitration
covers the whole ground.
Mr.. Blaine distinctly repudiates the
cfaim that the United States Govern
ment holds tho Bcring waters to be a
closed sea. This makes his case
palmer and more defcnsible, for the
ground can readily be maintained that
the United States has right to protect
its property i'll seals and seal fisheries
from destruction, even though that de-
structicn is to take place in tho open
sea

THE CASE OF THE IrATA.

The CHILEAN steamer Itata, which
slipped through the fingers of United
States marshal at San Diego and
start6 d south with a cargo of arms for
the insurgent forces, will undoubtedly
be chased by American naval cruisers
Probably vessels from the South Amer

the risks which Great Britain took in
the Alabama case. AS to tho merits of
the controversy between President Bal

two rival American houses competing
for CHILEAN trade are backing each party
with money, arms and ammunition.
