OF the crops, but by the fact that the
banks were better supplied with small
notes.

defense OF the cite Size will take coast
wise trips northward as far az Portland

remain constantly in those waters. The

Captain Shepard, in charge Of the
revenue marine bureau Of the treasury
department, has not yet received con-
firmation from any of the revenue cut
ters in Behring sea of the reported arrests
of British and American sealers by
Russian man-of-war for illegal sealing
in the neighborhood OF the Seal islands,
still owned by Russia in the Behring
sea, and leased to the Alaska Commercial
Company. That the arrests were made
more than three miles from shore is not
doubted. The occurrence will have a
pointed bearing upon two of the ques-
tions to be arbitrated upon, viz: What
exclusive jurisdiction in the sea now
known as the Behring sea, and what
exclusive rights in the seal fisheries
therein did Russia assert and exercise,
prior and up to the time of the cession
Of ALASKA to the United States, and
second, how far were the terms Of juris-
diction as to the seal fisheries recognized
and conceded by Great Britain?
