BEHRINa SEA QUESTION.
Lord salisbury's Note Accompanied by a
Copy Of the Presidents Reply Laid
Before the Senate.


WAsHINGToN, March 23.-The presi-
dents message transmitting Lord
Salisbury's reply to the last note from
this government relative to the modus
vivendi was laid before the senate in
executive session at 12 O'Clock. Lord
Salisbury's reply, as already stated,
is virtual reiteration of his declina-
tion to renew the modus vivendi on
the same terms as insisted on last
year. After half an hours discussion
the correspondence was referred to
the committee on foreign relations.
Lord Sahsbury's note may be de-
scribed as a synopsis OF the Diet allied
reply to the state department note
which is to follow by mail. His re-
fusal to consent to a renewal of the
modus vivendi is accompanied by sew
eral counter propositions, the reading
of which was received with i'll sup
pressed irritation by the senate The
general character of the note is de-
scribed as evasive and equivocating
The presidents rejoinder was also
transmitted to the senate 1t is a
pungent communication in which the
president broadly, but in diplomatic
language, hints that Lord Salisbury
has not met his overtures in a straight
forward, business-like manne. The
president insists upon renewal OF
the modus vivendi, without reference
to insignificant: or irrelevant condi-
tions and closes his note with the stir
ring assertion that if the government
OF Great Britain declines to assist in
the protection of seals during the arbi-
tration of the claims of the United
States he will proceed to enforce the
laws and exclude the poachers from
Behring sea If the military force of the
United States is required to accom-
plish it. The note created sensa-
tion in the senate.
The gravity OF the case led to a re-
newal OF the strongest efforts of the
senator's to prevent the public from
being made acquainted with the facts
in the case until the correspondence
has progressed further. There was no
expression of opinion by the president
in his letter OF transmittal, but this
was not needed in view of the clearly
defined position assumed in his rejoin-
der to Salisbury, which appeared to
meet with the unanimous approval of
the senators, although the debate
itself was too short to disclose Off
cially the standing of the senators.
Although there has been nothing in
the nature of direct vote upon the
treaty OF arbitration and there is we'll
defined opposition to it as a surrender
by the United States of her rights as
acquired by treaty from Russia, it can
be stated that the treaty will soon be
ratified by the senate, but a resolu-
tion will accompany it reciting that
there does not appear to be any suffi-
cent reason for the abatement by the
United States OF its claims to Jurisdic-
tion pending arbitration and author
izing the president to use all the force
of the military arm of hegovernmsnt
to insure the protection OF the rights
of the United States.
