DECEIVED BY OUR AGENT.
Uncle sam Led into Error Ansnt the
Sealing Induatry.

ReefAhd AHe@N"seJ
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Two weelss
ago it was the understanding among the
arbitrators and counsel in the Behring
sea case that they would sail for Paris,
where the sessions of the board of arbi-
traitors are to be held some time mex
month. Last week telegram from Lon
don stated that the Behring sea arbitra
tors would not meet until February
This statement was confirmed by til,
state department here, but no reason wa
given for the delay. An explanation
however, appears In the story made pub
lie today. Much of the data used il
preparing the case Of the United State
before the arbitrator, furnished by Ival
Petroff, was false. The story goes tina
when the preparation of the case wa
begun by the state department official
/ the name of Ivan Petroif, as writer o.
the resources of Alaska, appeared NOR
frequently than any other, and inquir.
was made for him. He was found to b
a special agent of the census bureau.
Mr.. Petroff was summoned to the stat
department and intrusted with the ex
animation into and compilation of Gel
Il tain facts relating TO the sealing indus
try. In the study of his data one of th
i governments attorneys discovered a
error, which led to further investigation
;, the result being to show, it is said, tina
nearly the entire information furnisho
!, by PETROL had been falsiied, and in
i manner which left no doubt of WILT
intent to deceive.
This discovery astounded the officials
/ The information had already been incol
i porated in the case of this governmer
as sent TO London, and formed part {
the arch upon which the United State
claim rested, although it was not II
: keystone by any manner OF means. III
7 British government was at once notifie
that the United States had been led int
: errors of statement, and was informe
4 that correction would be made whe
/ the supplementary papers arc ubmitte'
1t was at first supposed at the sta
t department that PetroH had been pa
i by the British government to falsify Il
J. information. An official of the sta
department said, however, that th
!, charge had not been proved. No e
y PLANTATION had been given for the effens
, however, and the most charitable CO
n clusion of the official was that Petroi
Il thinking he knew the character of /
y formation that the department wante
had manufactured it 30 as to make
n strong case for this government.
Peuroffs residence is in Baltimor
= There is no law to meet such case
! this, and Mr.. Petroff will simply lose
, government position as the result of l
i remarkable action.
