government of Sir George Baden Powell
and Mr.. Dawson as agents to visit Alaska
and collect information respecting the
seal fisheries. The statement coming
from London that these men had been
appointed arbiters is erroneous. The
negotiations looking to the arbitration of
the claims made by the United States
have not yet progressed to a point that
would permit the appointment of arhi-
tiers, and in fact the nature of the arbi-
tration itself has not been agreed upon
1t may be that Powell and Dawson will
hereafter serve as representatives OF the
British government upon the expert
commission, which the two nations are
bound to send to Alaska, but it is alto
gether improbable that they will be APP
pointed arbiters, as their previous duties
might be supposed to unfit them to act
judicially in the matter where they for
merry acted as partisan experts.
