A treaty providing for the ar6itra
ton of the dispute between Treat
Britain and the United States as to the
killing of seals in the Behring sea was
concluded on the 10Th of February last.
This treaty was accompanied by an
agreement prohibiting pelaglc sealing
pending the arbitration, and vigor-
Gus effort was made during this season
to drive out all poaching steamers from
the Behring sea. Six naval vessels,
three revenue cutters and one vessel
from the fish commission, all under the
command of Commander Evans, of the
navy. were sent into the sea, all of
which were systematically patrolled.
some seizures were made, and 1t is be-
lieved the catch in the Behring sea by
poachers amounted to less than s ~
seals. 1t is true, however, that in the
Northern Pacific, while the seal herds
were on their way 10 their passes be-
tween the Aleutian islands, a very
large number, probably 35,a0l, were
taken. The existing statutes OF the
United States do not restrain our citi-
zens from taking seals in the Pacific
ocean, and perhaps should not until
the prohibition can be extended to the
citizens of other nations. recon-
mend that power be given the presi-
dent by proclamation to prohibit the
landing of seals in the North Pacific
by American vessels. AS to the result
OF the findings of the tribunal Of arbi-
tration or otherwise, the restraints can
be supplied to the vessels of all
countries. The case of the United
States for the tribunal of arbitration
has been prepared with great care and
industry by the Hon. John w. Foster
and the counsel who represents this
government express confidence that q
result substantially establishing oul
claims and preserving this great in
dustry to the benefit of all nations will
be attained.

they were issued. The con erence as

this great question. have not doubted
and have taken occasion to express thai
belief, as well in the invitations issued
for the conference as in my public
messages. that the free coinage OF silver,
upon agreed international ratio, would
probably promote the interests of our
people in equality to those of other
nations. 1t is too early to predict what
results may be accomplished by the
conference. If any temporary check or
delay intervenes, believe that very
soon commercial conditions will compel
the now reluctant governments to unite
with US in this movement to secure the
enlargement of the volume of money
needed for the transaction OF the bust
ness of the world.

The report of the secretary OF wal
brings again to the attent on OF congress
some important suggestions as to the
reorganization of the infantry and artil-
lery arms of the service, which his pre-
decessors have before urged be passed
Our army is small, but its organization
should all the more be put upon the
most approved modern basis. The
conditions upon what we have cal ed

the maintenance of many small posts
but now the policy of concentration is
obviously the right one. The new posts
should have the proper strategic re.
lations to the only frontiers" we now
have, those of the West and North. and
a part of our Southern boundary. | do
not think that any questions of advan-
tage in localities or states should deter
mine the location of the new posts.
The organization and enlargement OF

work the usefulness of which will be-
come every day more apparent. The

with foreign made goods, and at the
ga me time keep our own mills busy;
that will give us an increased participa-
| ii IN in the markets OF the world" or
a greater value than the home market
that we surrender; that will give in
reased work to foreign workmen upon
products to be consumed by our people
without diminishing the amount OF
work to be done here; that will enable
the American manufacturer to pay to
his workmen from so to 100 per cent
more in wages than is paid the foreign
mill, and yet to compete in our market
and in foreign markers with the foreign
producer; that will further reduce the
cost of articles OF ware and food, with
out reducing the wsges Of those VIII ,
produce them; that can be celebrated
after its effects have been realized, az
it's expectation has been in Europe as
well ae IN American cities, the authors
and promoters of it will be entitled to
the highest praise.
We have had in our history several
experiences of the contracted effects oil
a revenue aud of protective tariff, but
this generation has not felt them and
the experience OF one generation IL not
highly instructive to the next. The
friends OF the protective system, with
undimini he'd con tidence In the princi-
plea they have advocated, will wait the
results Of the new experiment. The
strained end too often disturbed rela-
tons existing between the employe and
the employer in our great manufacturing
esta bl shments have not feen favorable
to calm consideration by the wage
earners OF the effect upon wages OF the
protective system. The fact that his
wages were the highest paid in like call
ing in any part OF the world, and that a
maintenance OF this rate OF wages in the
absence OF protective duties upon the
product OF his labor was impossible,
were obscured by the passion evoked by
these contests. He may now be able t.
review the question in the light Of his
personal experience, under the opera
ton OF tariff for revenue only.
II that experience shall demonstrate
that the present rates OF wages are
thereby maintained or increased, either
absolutely or In their purchasing power
that the aggregate volume OF work to be
done in this country is increased. OF
even maintained that there are more
or as many, days work in year, at as
good or better wages, received by the
American workman. as has been the
case under the protective system, every
one will rejoice. A general process O
wage reduction cannot be contemplated
by any patriotic citizen without the
gravest apprehension. 1t may be,
indeed. believe, is, possible for the
American manufacturer to compete sue
cesHlully with his foreign rival in many
branches OF production without the
defense OF protective duties, II the pay
rolls are equaliz ID but the conflict tha
stands between the producer and tina
result, and the distress OF our woring
men when it is attained, are not pleas
ant to contemplate. The society OF tn,
unemployed, now holding its frequen
and threatening parades in the streets
of foreign cities, would no. be allowed

Toe work of the interior department,
always very burdensome, has been larger
than ever before, during the administra-
ton o. Secretary Noble. The disability
pension law, the taking of the 18th CEN
aus, the opening Of vast areas OF Indian
lands to settlement, the organization OF
Oklahoma and the negot atoms for the
cession of Indian lands, furnish some CT
the particulars OF the increased work
and the results achieved testify to the
ability, fidelity and industry OF the head
of the department and his efficient as
sistants. Several important agreements
for the cession negotiated by the Iowa
commission appointed under act OF
March 2, 1899, are awaiting the act o.
congress. Perhaps the most important
of these is that for tine cession of the
Cherokee strip. This has been source
OF great vexation to the executive rep
resentatives, from the great friction in
ured between the settlers in their de
sire to occupy it and the Indians who
assert title. The agreement which has
been made by the commission is, per
haps, the most satisfactory that could
have been reached. 1t will be noticed
that it is conditioned upon its ratifca
ton by congress be ore March A. 1898
The secretary OF the interior, who has
given the subject careful thou bit, recon-

snd was inclined to follow this recon-
mendation. II is certain that some &C.
ton by which this con- roversy shall be
brought to an end and the lands opened
to settlement is urgent.
