How the London Daily Papers Regard His
Latest Note.
LONDON, March 2S-The Ne,Ds approves Lord
Salisburys proposals. but says the Americans
have justly regarded with disfavor the pro-
posals that the fishery be opened to
vessels, guaranteeing damages. 1t adds:
Lord Salisbury only writes of
the responsibility Of the governments for
their own acts. This might easily be made to
involve responsibility for the acts of citizens
they neglected to coerce."
The Chronicle regrets that the correspondence
will not tend to popularize arbitration. 1t
says: .'Mr. Blaine very cleverly. by a sort Of
somewhat absurd position by consentin2 to
arbitrate whether We ever had or have
a right to catch seals on the way
to the American breeding waters. We ad-
nit our right is doubtful The world would
vote US fools to go to war on account of
President Harrison to assume an at
titudo Of sprcad-eagleisr, not only
marked by rank injustice, but perfectly gro
tesque In its absurity. 1t 10 clear that Mr..
Blaine detected from the first the supreme ad-
vantage on his side. His government is on the
eve OF an election and can AFFORD to be ridic-
ulous. We cannot"
The Telegraph says: SAT pre- sent 1t must be
confessed that the negotiations appear to have
come to deadlock not altogether devoid of
anxiety or even peril. On every ground it is

the equitable modes which Lord Salisbury has
cult to resist the inference that
America has remarkably. little con.
fidence in her case. 1t is difficult tc
be very sanguine in regard to dis.
putant who has failed to take lesson from the
imperturbable courtesy with which Lord Sails
bury sets aside and ignores the numerous irrel
evances Of American diplomacy"
The Standard says: Lord Sslisbury's dispatch
seems to reach the utmost bounds Of concilia
ton. 1t ia plain, business-like and fair offer
which America must accept or refuse:
The 81. James Gdzette says: President Har
rison coolly proposes that England should &C
as il the American claims were established anG
prohibit Canadian sealing. Lord Salisbury hal
made a handsome offer, which we hope no
even election considerations will induce tb'
American government to reject"
The Star, commenting upon the CORE
spondence. says: "The dispatches do not giv'
Lord Salisbury the better Of it. He ha
not been consistent. Mr.. Blaine has
The Americans have behaved as IL the!
genuinely desired to protect the seals. Lore

of offending the Canadians, whose only desir

The Times supports Lord Salisbury in re
fusing to renew tho modus vivendi, notwith
standing that on March 2 it published an ar

agreement.
