THINGS NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN.

Neither Party at Liberty to Insist Upon
Its Extreme Claims.
"For it mus not be forgotten that if
her majesty's government proceeds dur
ing this sealing season upon the basis of
its contention as TO the rights of the
Canadian sealers, no choice is left to this
government but to proceed upon the basis
of its confident contention that pelagic
sealing in the Behring sea is an infraction
of its jurisdiction and property rights.
His lordship will hardly fail to see this.
Herein, in the opinion of the president,
consists the gravity of the present situa-
ton, and he is not willing to be found in
any degree responsible for the results that
may follow the insistence by either gov
eminent during this season upon the eX-
IRENE rights claimed by it.
A Question of Honor Involved.
"1f his lordship shall adhere to his re.
fdsal to unite with us in prompt and eff
fective measures to stop pelagic sealing
and shall insist upon free sealing foi
British subjects, the question as it affects
this government is no longer one of pc.
cuniary loss or gain, but one of honor and
self-respect. Tins government, notwith-
standing the fact that its right to take
seals upon the prybilof islands is undis-
puted and wholly uninvolved in the arbitra.
ton, has propo sed to take no profit from
the island catch, but to limit the taking
OF seals to the natives of those islands, and
1t can not consent that, with indemnity OF
without, the contested rights of the
British subjects to catch seals in the
Behring sea shall be exercised pending the
arbitration.
Hard to Believe His Lordship Serious.
THE president finds it difficult to believe
that Lord Salisbury is serious in proposing
that his government shall tade separate
bonds from the owners of 100 Canadian
sealing vessels to indemnify it for the in
jury they may severally inflict upon our
jurisdiction or property, and must decline
to discuss a suggestion which only his re-
spect for Lord Salisbury and his belief that
his lordship has 4 due appreciation of the
gravity of this discussion enable him 10
treat with seriousness. The treaty
gives the arbitrar ors no powers to adjud Ge
any damages, and the proposition would
be without risk to the sealers and of no
value to us"
Was SalisDury's Own Point.
Mr.. Wharton says that this government
cannot consent to have its rights destroy
Gu ho"eNer adequate the security OHeftu,
nor see our property converted into a
claim for DANA ges, especially as such a
claim cannot be determined by the arbi-
traitors without reformation of the treaty
for his lOrdship II ust remember "that he
has already carried his point III the treaty
that the arbitratOrs shall have no jurisdic-
ton to award any damages" As to the
proposition that the sealers excluded Will
have claims the president does not see
how sealers of cit her nation can supprot
such claim growing out of trade restric-
tions, promotive Of public good and inter
national peace.

Undesirable Immigrants Defined.

NEW YORK, March 25 The immigra
ton authorities have begun a new system

ders of General Nettleton, the assistant

WILL WORRY THE eRlTIsHER.
President Harrison VIII Give Salisbur,
Something to Think About.


Som ething to Think About.
WASHINGTON, March 25-The latest cor
respondence over the Behring sea embrog-
lilo Is given out for publication. The mes
sage of the president transmitting it to
the senate is a simple statement of what it
refers to, mere memoranda without sug-
gestion of any kind. The first note is one
from Pauncefote to Blaine, in which the
former holds that the British and Ameri-
can commissioners have no right to dis
cuss the question of modus vivendi with
put special authority from their govern
ments. Then comes the two notes that
are of greatest interest-Salisbury's reply
to the presidents note of the Sth inst. and
the presidents rejoinder, the latter being
the principal part of the correspondence,
both as to quantity and quality.
Lord saIisbury's Propositions.
The text of Salisbury's proposals in re-
ply to the presidents note of the Sth is
substantially the same as given in these
dispatches yesterday. He says that the
information in his possession does not
warrant the contention of the United
States that the seals will be annihilated
IL pe1agic killing is permitted. He also
states that the negotiations between Great
Britain and Portugal under arbitration
have taken four years and says the same
in likely to occur in the case of the seals.
He also says that while, if the arbitrator
decide in tavor of the United States, it will
have a claim for loss through free scaling,
IL the question is decided against the
United States the sealers who have been
excluded from the sea under the modus
win have claim for damages. He then
proposes the bonding scheme noted yes
terday.
Tie Reply of the President.
President Harrison lost no time in reply
ing, and begins with reiteration of the
statement that free sealing this year will
leave no seals to be arbitrated upon, call
ing attention to the large number of seal
ers already on their way to the haunts of
the herds, which he characterizes as a
@crime against nature as the government
expects to show that female seals consti-
tute the bulk Of the catch of the sealers
The reply is written by Mr.. Wharton, who
says: "That in view of this serious and
confident contentious Of this government
his lordship should assume that another
years suspension of such sealing is not
necessary to prevent an undue diminution
of the seal herds, and should insist that
pending an arbitration it shall go on, pre-
cisely as if no arbitration had been agreed
upon, is as surprising it is disappoint-
ing.
A Hint That Arbitration May Fail.
GIf her maiesty's government so little
respects the claims and contentious of this
government as to be unwilling to forbear
for single season to disregard them, the
president cannot understand why Lord
Salisbury should have proposed and
agreed to give to those claims the dignity

must be assumed that the sincere pur-
pose of the two governments was to pro-
mote peace and good will, but if, pending
the arbitration, either deals with the sub
lects of it solely upon the basis of its own
contention and in utter disregard of the
claims of the other, this friendly end is not
attained but new sense of injury and in
justice is added, even if it should be found
possible to proceed with an arbitration I'M

There's a patent medicine
which is not a patent medicine
-paradoxical as that may
sound. It's a discovery! the
golden discovery of medical
science i It's the medicine for
you-tired, run down, exhaust

diseases of skin or scalp, liver
or lungs-it's chance is with
every one, it's season always,
because it aims to purify the
fountain of life-the blood
upon which all such diseases
depend.
The medicine is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery.
The makers of it have
enough confidence in it to
sell it on trial.
That is-you can get it from
your druggist, and if it doesn't
do what it's claimed to do, you
can get your money back,

CORRECTS A PATENT ERROR,
And Makes n Few Comments That Are
Decid edIy Caustic.

Decidedly Caustic.
Mr.. Wharton then proceeds: "The sug-
gestion that the conclusions of the board
of arbitration may not be reached and an
nounced in time to govern the conduct of
the parties during the season of 1893, is,
think, fully provided against by the treaty
itself. His lordship is mistaken as to the
time that has lapsed since the signing of
the DelagOa bay agreement with Portugal
1t is not four years old, but less than one,
the date of signing being June IS, 1891. If
the present treaty IS promptly ratified and
exchanged our mu 5ual interest would be
simple guarantee against delay The
president has found no obstacle in the way
OF such consumma ton except the belief
now unfortunately very prevalent here
that Britain's contentious largely defeat
the object of the treaty.
Uncle Sans Ultimatum.
@The modus of last year is the least that
this government can accept. In reason,
the restraints after treaty of arbitration
should be more absolute, not less. The
president does not desire to protract this
discussion, and having now in the most
friendly spirit submitted the considera-
tions which support the just demand of
this government that the property which
is the subject of an agreed arbitration
shall not be subjected to spoliation pend
ing the arbitration, he expresses the
hope that Lord Salisbury will give u
prompt and friendly assent to renew the
modus.
The Seals VIII BE Protected.
"The president will hear with regret that
her majesty's government continues to
assert right to deal with this subject
precisely as if no provision had been made
for a settlement of the dispute, and in that
event this government, as has already
been pointed out, viii be compelled to deal
with the subject upon the same basis and
to use every means in its power to protect
from destruction or serious injury property
and jurisdictional rights which it has long
claimed and enjoyed"

that 1t marks the closing of a speculative
campaign, which is by far the most re-

Believed May Wheat Would BE Low.

1t is estimated that Partridge at one

doubtedly had a larger line than this on
one or two occasions there was no time in
all his career that he kept as large deal
as this open for months at time, and he
certainly never scored as great success.
