Principles of the United Order of Anti
Monopolists.
Realizing that our American government, not
protting by lessons from her predecessors,
must now account for committing the same
great crime which has caused the downfall Of
each former republic and understanding that
the blighting curse to us results from secret
bands Of cOnspirators, by whom the great soy.
ereign powers Of government are being used TO
crush out the liberties Of the people, and make
slaves Of the masses, causing such state Of
restitution, discomfort and crime, that no poo
pie can long endure, we, believing that when
bad men combine good men must associate
have formed the organization known as the
United Order Of Anti-Monopolists, and declare
that there is a vital, dangerous and over.

That question is: Shall the great powers Of
the government be used TO crush out the liber-
ties Of the people rob the industries make
serfs and slaves Of the masses; or shall It be
used as intended by the fathers to protect the
interests Of the people. guard their liberties
and lid their happiness:r -'-

Last Note.
LONDON. March 28.-Lord Salisbury,
under date of March 26, replied as fol-
lows to Sir Julian Pauncetote, in re-
sponse to Mr.. Wharton's note of
March 70:
"In reply to your telegram of the 23d
inst, notice has been given to owners of
ships sailing fer Behring sea that agree
ments at present under discussion, as to
arbitration and as to an immediate
arrangement, may affect the liberty of
sailing in Behring sea. There has been
notice of their liability to possible inter-
ruption, and they will sail subject to
that notice. The question of time is
not therefore urgent. Inform the presi-
dent that when the treaty has been
ratified there will arise new state of
things. Until it is ratified our conduct
is governed by the language of your
note of June IA, 1890. But when it is
ratified both parties must admit that
contingent lights have become vested in
the other W iich both desire to protect.
We think that the prohibition of seal
ing, if it stands alone, will be unjust to
British sealers if the decision of the ar
bitrators should be adverse to the United
States. We are, however, willing,
when the treaty has been ratified, to
agree to an arrangement similar to that

PROVISIONS OF THE TREATY.
Questions to 20 Submitted to tho Arbi-
TRAITORS for Settlement.

Questions to 20 Submitted to tho Arbi-
trators for Settlement.
The Behring sea arbitration treaty or
convention was signed in Washington on
Feb. 20 last by James G. Blaine on the
part of the United States and Julian
Pauncefote on the part of Great Britain.
1t was sent to the senate in confidence on
the 9Th inst. The treaty provides that the
Behrlng sea controversy shall be submit
ted to tribunal of arbitration, to be COM
posed of seven arbitrators-the president
OF the United States and her Britannia
majesty to name two each, and the presi-
dent OF France, the king Of Italy and the
king of Sweden and Norway to name one
each. Arbitrators ale to be distinguished
jurists in their respective countries, and
the treaty provides that they shall meet
in Paris within twenty days after the de-
livery of the Counter-case, or what might
be called evidence i'll rebuttal.
All questions to be considered by the
tribunal, including the final decision, are
to be determined by majority of the ar
bitrators. Five questions are to be sub
mitted. These are:
First-What exclusive jurisdiction in
the sea now known as the Behring sea,
and what exclusive rights in the seal fish
cries therein did Russia assert and exer-
else prior and up to the time of the cession
of Alaska to the United Statesy
Second-How far were these claims of
jurisdiction rs to the seal fisheries rccog-
nized and conceded by Great Britain?
Third-Was the body OF water now
known as Behring sea. included in the
phrase "Paci6c Ocean, as used in the
treaty of 1925. between Great Britain and
Russia, and what rights if any, in the
Behring sea were held and exclusively
exercised by Russia after said treaty.
Fourth-Lid not all the rights of Rus
sia, as to jurisdiction, and as to the seal
fisheries in Behring sea east of the water
boundary, i'll the treaty between the Unit
ed States an Russia of the 3Oth OF March,
1867, pass I'll impaired to the United States
under that treaty2
Fifth-Has the United States any right,
and if so, what right of protection or prop
erty in the fur seals frequenting the
islands of tho United States in Behring
sea when such seals are found outside the
ordinary three mile limit?
The treaty also provides for the appoint
ment of two commissioners by each of the
high contracting parties to investigate
and report facts having relation to seal
life, and measures necessary for its pre-
servation. The decision is to be made
within four months after the close of the
argument both sides, and it is to be
final. The, samination of the ratification
of the treaty is to be made either at Wash
ington or at London within six months
from its date (Feb. 2y or earlier if DOS

THE TREATY RATIFIED,
JURISDICTION OVER BEHRlNG SEA
WILL BE ARBlTRATED.

Senators Vote Unanimously In Favor OF
Ratification without ChanEe-Provi-
sions of the Treaty and Questions to
BE Submitted for settlement.
WASHINGTON, March 3O. The treaty
convention providing for arbitration in
the settlement of the differences be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States over the jurisdiction of Behring
sea was ratified by the senate by an
unanimous vote. The secret session
which resulted in the ratification lasted
two hours. Shortly after the doors
were closed call of the senate was
ordered and an unusually large number
of senator's answered to their names,
the number being increased to seventy
two when the vote on the treaty was
taken. There was some general discus
sion concerning the perfection of the
treaty and Mir. Sherman announced
that the propositions made by some sen.
ators at previous sessions that the arbi-
tration proceedings should be conduct
ed in English had met with favorable
response from Lord Salisbury. After
Mr. Sherman made this statement the
treaty was amended go that English
should be the language used in con-
dncting the proceedings.
There was also some discussion over
article 1 of the treaty, which provides
that "the decision of the tri!.unal shall,
il possible, be made within three months
from the close of the argument on both
Sides" Several senator's thought the
time allowed the arbitrators for decis-
ion should bo longer ard Us there was
no objection to this the time was ex-
tended to four months.
After Il discussion over this point and
some others OF minor Importance the
treaty was ratified without further
change by 4 yea and nay vote, and reso-
lutions informing tile president of its
ratification and rcnlovins the injunction
Of secrecy from the vote were adopted.
