 Under Certain Conditions-
 LONDON, March 2s.-Lord Salisbury, un- der date of March e6, has replied as follows to Sir Julian Pauncefote in response to mr. Wharton's note of March 22:
 "1n reply to your telegram of the Esd inst notice has been given to owners of ships sailing for Behring sea that both agree ments at present under discussion between Great Britain and the United States-that as to arbitration and that as to an interme- diate arrangement-may affect the liberty of sealing in Behring sea They have there fore notice of their liability to possible in- terruption, and will sail subject to that no tice. The question of time is not, therefore, urgent.
 Inform the president that we concur in thinking that when the treaty has been rati fled there will arise new state of things. Until it is ratified our conduct is govern ed by the language of your note of the l4th of June, 1890. But when it is ratified each party must admit that contingent rights have become vested in the other, which both desire to protect. We think that the pro hibition of sealing, if it stands alone, will be unjust to British sealers if the decision of the arbitrators should be adverse to the United States.
 As an alternative course, we are also willing, after the ratification of the treaty, to prohibit sealing in the disputed waters fl vessels be excepted from prohibition which produce a certificate that they have given security for such damages as the arbitrators may assess in case of decision adverse to Great Britain, the arbitrators to receive the necessary authority on that behalf.
 'sIn this case a restriction of slaughter upon the islands will not in point of equity be necessary. Her majestys government is unable to see any other than one of these two methods of restricting seal hunting in the disputed waters during the arbitration which would be equitable to both partieA'

though the Republican candidates may
get the Offices. The entire county is In
state Of excitement. Under the State law,
it is claimed, not single ballot was cast
for Democratic nominee, the Democratic
ballots not having been printed according
to law. The trouble seems 10 have arisen
through O Misunderstanding. When the

framed that it did not apply 70 township
elections. During the present session. OF
the Legislature the law was 90 amended
that it applied TO every election In the
State. whether general, county. or local.

until the voting day had almost passed;
Then some Republicans, who had obtained
one of the Democratic ballots. discovered

error was at once communicated 10 the

were counted ss they were voted and the
