tary Blaine Today.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British minister.
| called at the State Department this morning
and presented the British Boring sea commits
sioners, Sir Baden-Poweu and Mr. Dawson to
Secretary Blaine
They were accompanied by Mr.. Froude, the
private secretary OF Sir Baden Powell. During
the interview the preliminaries of the confer
enco that is to be held between the British and
American commissioners were arranged.
The commissioners on the side of the
United States are Profs. Mendenhall,
coast survey. and Merriam. Agricul-
turai Department The commissioners
Tor both sides visited Alaska and investigated
the condition of things at the seal fisheries dur
ing tne past season Each side has ar
IL l,'ea H., at certain certain conclusions, and it
between them. to be held shortly in this city,
to bring these results together into joint
report constituting the findings of fact. which
VIII be laid before the board of arbitrator
soon to be appointed.
THE BASIS OF ARBITRATION.
This report will probably form the basis for
the inquiry to be conducted by the arbitrators.
and from it each side will advance its case
The commissioners dealt solely with the
present and future OF the sealing trade. with
out reference to the political questions in
vowed, such as the right of the United States
to an exclusive jurisdiction over the sea.
1hls, OF course, lis to be the main issue before
the arbitrators, but the facts furnished by the
commissioners as to the numbers and habits of
the seals, the extent of the traffic and the
probability of the determination of the species
VIII doubtless constitute foundation for the
arguments to be submitted.
AN EXTENSION OF THE MoDUs vrvENpL
1t is regarded as SO certain that the arbitra-
ton cannot be concluded in time to 20 into
effect at the beginning Of the coming season
that the governments of Great Britain
and the United States will probably
agree very shortly to continuation OF
the modus vivendi which expires May l. This
Is thought 10 be necessary in order to proven.
the sealers from preparing their outfits The
time has arrived for this work to begin; the
Victoria fleet is now being fitted out.
II Is extremely DESTROYS that the notice of
the extension shall reach the scalers before
they have gone to the expense OF preparing
for seasons work that must be contrary 20
the spirit OF the agreement between the two
countries
Last season much of the trouble on the sea
was caused by the delay in issuing the procla-
nation, which had to be delivered TO most of
the ships after they had reached the grounds
1t Is hoped that this year the feet can be
headed of in time.
THE ARBITRAToRs.
According to the terms of the agreement to
arbitrate the question arrived at between Sec
rotary Blaine and Lord Salisbury there are to
be seven arbitrators, three of whom shall be
from neutral country.
Two of the remainder shall be citizens Of the
United States and the other two shall represent
the antagonistic interests. one being a citizen
OF Great Britain and the other Canadian. None
OF THESE have yet been appointed.

THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
The Opposition to the New Rules Dwindling
Down and Their Adoption Expected.

The Opposition to the New Rules Dwindline
Down and Their Adoption Expected.
The result Of the democratic caucus Saturday
night, while it is not binding on any one, gives
a very good indication that the opposition to
the rules is dwindling and will not amount to
| enough to count for any thing when the vote is
taken.
vote on the committee report will probably
be taken on Wednesday or Thursday, and there
appears to be no doubt of its adoption.
In the caucus Speaker Grip was kept
on the floor for an hour answering
questions propounded by the new members, and
the general talk this morning indicates that as
q result OF this talk great many of those who
Se ere %ssp0sea TO keep up an opposition have
code should be adopted. It looks
now as if the opposition would come
chleny from those members who lust now are
READY TO object to anything that the chosen
leaders advocate. The most peculiar thing that
mas developed is that Mr.. McMillin Of the COM
mitsfe on rules was among the opposition in
the caucus.
THE COMMITTEES At WORK.
There is considerable dissatisfaction on &C
count OF the slow progress that is being made
with the business of the House, but. of course,
there can be no great progress pending the
adoption Of the rules.
Meanwhile the committees have been at work
and as soon as the rules are adopted there will
be enough work ready to occupy the time.
The various subcommittee of the committee
on appropriations have been busy for several
days and will soon have bills ready tc re-
port: The pension BILL which Will be
finished the last of this or the first
part of next week, Will probably
be the first reported from that committee.
There is already bill reported from the mil.
tary committee The committee on ways and
means has been slow in getting to work for
some reason. The subcommittee have not vet
been appointed aud regular meeting days have
not yet been SET
Mr. Springers free wool bill will probably
be the first one reported Though the commit
tee has not considered this bill Mr.. Springer
has got the measure in shape to suit himself
and Is now preparing report on the bill, with
a complete explanation Of 1t and argument in
l:s support, which he will present to the com
mittee at an carly meeting with the expec-
tatlon that it will be promptly approved and
reported to the House.
Inc committee may make some changes in
the Dill. IL so, II will make necessary sOme al
teratlons In the report. out, as there is but one
subject involved, no great delay is probable
after the matter once gets before the COM
mittee.
1t is the desire of the Speaker and the leaders
OF the House that the business should be pressed
vigorously as soon the rules are adopted and
there viii be race to make up for lost time.
The appropriation bills and the various tariff
bills will probably come tumbling into the
House after this week.

TWO RAILROAD BILLS.
The District Commissioners Hear Those in
Favor of Them.

The District Commissioners Hear Those in
Favor of Them.
The Commissioners today gave hearing on
the Senate bill 1907 to amend the charter of the
Rock Creek Railroad Company. Mr.. E. G.
Newlands, the president, and Mr.. w. G. Shepff,
the engineer of the said road, appeared and ex-
planned the necessity of the contemplated
extension. Mr.. Joseph Paul, who was also
in attendance, said he would like to see the road
extended aloog the boundary to North Capitol
street instead of New Jersey avenue. Mr. j. NJ
Hollyday also appeared to recommend the
overhead electric system. and stated that all
of his neighbors were in favor of authorizing
that system. Mrs. Mann and others also spoke
in favor of the bill.
The Commissioners also heard those who
were interested in Senate bill 1866 to amend
the act incorporating the Washington and
Arlington Railroad Company. The act pro.
vides that pending the building of the
company's bridge over the Potomac river at
the Three Sisters the company be permitted to
temporarily occupy the Aqueduct bridge. Mr..
Davis, on behalf of the road. spoke of the me-
cessity of such legislation. The object
in laying the tracks on the Aaueduct
bridge, he said, was for the purpose of
furnishing ample transportation from George
town to Arlington during the meeting of the
Grand Army. He stated that the company
had already constructed its road from
Fort Myor to the south end of the Auue-
duct bridge and that further extension across
the Aqueduct bridge would be of great
benefit to the citizens OF Washington and to
their guests during tho Grand Army encamp-
ment. He stated that work was expected TO
begin on tho bridge at some time during the
present month. There were no objections to
the bill. The Commissioners will make their
report on both of the above bills during the
week.
