Washington, Nov. 10.-One of the ex-
pocted results of the late election Is the

versy between the United States and
Great Britain. Important as such ac-

ish minister. is said to be Nthe victim Of
circumstances aud up to the present
time has occupied Il peculiarly unfortin-
ate position, though the fault has not
been his. IL appears that early in the
present administration an understanding
was reached between the United States
and Great Britain, which was intended
to be the basis Of a subsequent formal
agreement in fact final settlement.
The nature Of this understanding was
somewhat complicated. Great tact was
required on the part of Minister Linz
coin, but he succeeded we'll The set
Element In brief. was that Bering sea
was to be declared u closed sea, which
the United States have uniformly CON
tended. Great Britain was to secure in
return for its REIMBURSEMENT of Boring
sea, important privileges in the Atlantic.
a new fisheries treaty was TO be pre-

the minutest detail what to demand and
what to concede with the assurance that
the understanding had with the United
States was such rs to make certain
successful outcome.
II was a brilliant opportunity. The
programme was that Sir Julian Paunce-
