OPPOSITION TO ARBITRATION.
The Behring Sea Treaty Discussed by the
Senators for an Hour.

The BehrinE sea treaty discussed by the
Senators for an Hour.
WASHINGTON, March 9-The Behring
sea arbitration treaty was sent to the SEN
ate yesterday by the president, and at $50
the senate went into executive session to
consider it. The message of the president
md the full text of the treaty were read
There was nothing Of an important nature
in the presidents letter, it being simply a
letter of transmittal and containing no
Recommendations or suggestions. After a
short concise explanation of what the
treaty proposed and an appeal to the SEN
ate concerning the urgent necessity for
speedy action had been made on behalf of
the administration by a prominent sena-
tor, an animated and interesting discus
sion, free from acrimony, however, follow
ed on the subject matter of the document.
Very Uncompromising Were They.
Some of the remarks that were made
showed disposition on the part of some
senators, particularly among those from
the Pacific coast, to wage earnest opposi-
tion to its al prevail, if not to its considera-
ton, Several senators were uncompromis-
ing in their attitude. They held that there
was no question as to the right of the
United States to the waters acquired from
Russia by the Alaska treaty of 1867, and
contended that the submission of this right
tothe decision of foreign arbitrator was q
cowardly surrender on the part of this
country. Ratification under these circum-
stances they resented bitterly. Another
argument against the ratification of the
treaty was that one of the arbitrators-It-
Rly-had not friendly feeling toward the
United States, on account of the New Or
leans affair.
An Omission Objected To.
Much feeling. almost general in its
character, was manifested over the omis-
sion from the treaty of clause renewing
the modus vivendi, and some senators
urged that the refusal to do this during
the tendency of the arbitration proceed
ings justified the United States in direct
ing its al o.. vessels to seize any sealers
without regard to nationality found VIC
lating the present law for the protection,
of seals.
The Treaty Referred.
The discussion lasted more than an
hour and ended with the reference of the
treaty to the committee on foreign rela-
tions. But this discussion is only the be-

Supt. Porter Comments on the New York
City Enumeration.
WASHINGTON, March 9-It having been
announced by the New York state officials
that the census of the city Of New York
taken under their management gives that
city over ,S0O,0 inhabitants, which is an
lNcess of 361 800 over the national census,
superintendent Porter comments thereon
as follows:
One of the best Illustrations of the manner
In which tie state census Of New York city VS.
padded Is furnished by the results in the lIrst
assembly district. This district includes the
First, Second, Third, and Fifth wards, running
ON the Battery to Spruce and Ferry streets,
and on the west side of Broadway to Canal
Street. This district, as every one knows, IS
not resident section, being composed of Office
buildings, business houses, steamboat wnarges,
etc.
A steady Decrease of Population.
Its resident population has been steadily de-
creasing for great many years. In 1850, fo-
instance. il contained j00J0. BY reference to
the New York state census Of 1873, it Is show U
that it decreased TO BALD. In 1870 there was
about 1900 people within its limits, according
, II the federal CELSIUS in June, and 5000 ar
cording 10 the police count in October. In
spite of these fact, the state cnumeratnrs
Claim to have found $3.50 people in this dis
trict, an Increase of 4! per cent. since 1881
and numerical increase OF more than lufJ
over both the fedora! and police enumerauoHs.
One District that Decreased.

J opportunity for padding, the alleged increase
