RUSSIA WANTS A HAND.
Says She Sold 10 the United states the
Waters of the Behring Sea With
the Alaskan Territory.
Further Says That She L. Able TO De-
liver the Goods and Give tho
Necessary Protection.
England Must Keep Hands Off and
Russia Will Oppose Arbitration
as Impeachin. Her Honesty.

Special correspondence: Lord Salisbury
has just learned a lesson in statecraft which
will do him great deal of good. Lord
Salisbury has been shrewd enough to in
duce the United States to enter into nego-
tiations with him concerning the manage
ment of the seal business, which belongs
exclusively to this country. AS our gov
eminent has considered the idea of arbi-
traton with an insolent freebooter, the
other and heretofore silent factor in the
Behring Sea affair has entered The case.
The Car Of all the Russias has sent word
to Lord Salisbury that Russia is able to
maintain her right and absolute proprietary
interest in the North American country
which she sold to the United States and that
Russia will not stand idly by and permit
Great Britain to assert to the world, by
indirection, that Russia received money,
from the United States under false pre-
lenses; that Russia owned the Pribyloff
Islands, and controlled the entire coast and
sealing rights which were then sold to the
United States. Russia and France are
natural allies of the United States, and the
world may as well know it. Russia is
anxious for war with Great Britain.
Lord Salisbury will probably digest his
spleen in secret as he commits his lesson
to memory.
If the arbitration treaty is likely to be
ratified Russia will protest against any
such action for those reasons. The state
department at Washington is unusually
noncommittal on the subject. Mr.. Whar-
ton refuses to answer any questions con-
corning the Russian note, for that is the
shape it came in but Il member of the cab
met deeply interested in the present pro-
ceedings said that the above statement
fairly covers the facts.

RussIAIs GRATEFUL.
The Relief Steamer Indiana from
this Country Received with Joy.

thA8 hhoChtCu WIFI SOys
A cable from Libau, Russia, says: The
American steamer Indiana, Capt. Sargent,
which brought to this port the gifts OF
-four and provisions sent by Americans for
the relief of the Russian famine sufferers,
was towed in the harbor by the steamers
Concordia and Vorwaerts. If unbounded
popular enthusiasm is proof of apprecia-
ton, the officers and crew of the Indiana
will carry from this country lively recol-
lection of the gratitude OF the Russian
people. When the Indiana passed the
1etty she was greeted with loud and en-
thusiastic cheering by the crowd that had
assembled. The steamer was received by
the communal authorizes and large dele

Vesselmen Protest.

Vessel owners at Detroit, Chicago and
elsewhere are sending Geographic protests
against the pending bill which requires
lake vessels in the coast wise trade to
make reports and manifests of goods laden
or unladen at intermediate ports. They
say it would be great hardship to vessels
to fun nsh these and that the requirement
is intended merely to fit few small cities
which are not points of general call or
termination Of trips. Mr.. Villas who in
troduced the bill in the Senate, however,
is very earnest in its support, saying it is
mere matter of justice to intermediate
cities that they have records showing the
amount of commerce Of these ports instead
Of it being credited to the ports at the end
Of the route as at present. The bill has
been favorably reported.
