THE CABINET INSISTS.
Seals Must Be Protected Against Destruc-
tion by Poachers.


WASHINGTON, March S.-The Cabinet
meeting today was most important not
withstanding the absence of Secretaries
Blaine, Foster and Noble. The entire
session of two hours was devoted to the
consideration of the Behring Seaquestion
and Lord Salisbury's last communication
in opposition to the renewal of the
modus vivendi. All presen. participated
in the discussion and the opinion was
unanimous that the position assumed bv
the British government was untenable
and not justified by the condition of the
made that the opening of Behring Sea
for the present season to the slaughter of
seals by poachers would result in serious
injury, if not in the total destruction of
the industry. 1t was decided to
Insist on Modus vivendi
somewhat similar to that of last year,
having for its object the protection of
seal fisheries by the joint action of Great
Britain and the United States pending
the settlement of the question at issue
by arbitration.
Another matter considered was the
transmission to the Senate of the copies
Of the correspondence on this question
that has taken place since January 6,
1891, in order to aid that body in the con-
sideration of the treaty of arbitration.
1t was concluded to leave the question
open for a few days.
1t is learned that Assistant Secretary
Wharton delivered to the British minister
this afternoon the reply of this govern
to renew the modus vivendi. This reply
reiterates the position of this govern
ment and insists on the renewal of the
modus vivendi for 1891 for the coming
season.

Newfoundland's Trade With Us an
Trouble With Canada.

HALIFAX, N. S., March S.-A largely
attended meeting of the Board of Trade
this morning was addressed by Hon. A.
w. Harvey, member of the government
of Newfoundland. Dealing with the
Newfoundland bait act, he said it never
was intended to operate against any
British subject, but was passed for the
sole purpose of preventing st. Pierre
fishermen from procuring bait in New
foundland to enable them to catch fish
for every quintal of which they received
a bounty from the French government,
and which they sold in competition with
fish caught by citizens of Newfoundland.
After the passage of the bait
Act Against st. Pierre
it was found that Canadian fishermen
had purchased bait in Newfoundland
and sold it to the French, thus compell-
ing the Newfoundlanders in self defence
to enforce the act against Canada. In
retaliation for NeWfonndland's protect

the Senate-Three Forms of Opposi-
tion To Its Ratification Proposition to
Back Up the Administration in Seizing
Sealing Pirates Whatever Their Ma
y-Newfoundland's Troubles.
WASHINGTON, March S.-This after
noon the Senate went into executive
session to consider the arbitration treaty
received today from the President. The
Presidents letter, which came with the
document, was simply one of transmittal
without suggestion or recommendation.
The text Of the treaty was read in full.
When it was concluded, there followed
an animated discussion of the document.
The opposition took several forms, and
there were at least three different views
of the subject. One body of senators
resented bitterly the idea of ratifying any
arbitration treaty. They held that the
right of the United States to the waters
acquired from Russia was beyond ques-
ton, and thatit would be cowardly sur
render on the part of this government
for it to consent to submitits right to the
uncertain decision of foreign arbitrators.
Attention was called to the fact that one
of the
Three Foreign Arbitrators
who would really hold in their hands the
final decision of the question at issue
would be the subject of a power with
which our relations were very much
strained, meaning Italy.
A considerable number of senators ap-
peared to believe the approval OF the
treaty would be a distinct gain in the
diplomatic battle as it committed Great
Britain to recognition of the fact that
the United States had claim to jurisdic-
ton over the waters of Behring sea I'M
der the Russian title, a point which she
had heretofore steadily refused to allow.
The third party thought the treaty
should not be approved finally without
the addition of clause
Renewing the Modus vivendi.
Some senators took the ground that,
while the treaty might safely be ratified
by the Senate, the administration should
be instructed that, in the event of the
continued refusal of the British govern
ment to ensure protection of seals during
the course of arbitration, the vessels of
the United States should seize every
offending vessel, without regard to
nationality. They announced that, if
trouble resulted from the adoption of
this course, they were prepared to fully
support the administration in taking all
the necessary steps to give effect to the
existing laws of the United States.
The treaty was referred to the foreign
affairs committee.
