sions had allowed Prisoner Groesbeck TO

II has been learned on good authority
at the Navy Department that the Secre-
tary will not detach the Monterey from
the San Francisco station when che goes
into commission. 1t is his intention to
have the vessel remain as the principal
defense OF the city. She will take coast.
wise trips northward as far as Portland
and southwark to San Diego, and will
remain constantly in those waters. The
Monterey will be put in commission be-
fore her armorplate for the vertical tur-
ret is finished. ard its absence will be
supplied by thick oak planking. 1t il

OF the Washington navy yard will be or
dered TO take charge as her executive

still owned by Russia in the Behring
sea, and leased to the Alat ka Commercial

more than three miles from shore is not
doubted. The occurrence will have a
pointed bearing upon two OF the ques-
tions to be arbitrated upon, viz: What
exclusive jurisdiction in the sea now
known as the Behring sea, and what
exclusive rights in the seal fisheries
therein did Russia assert and exercise,
prior and up to the time of the cesslon
OF Alaska 10 the United States. and
second, how lar were the terms OF juris-
diciion as to the seal fisheries recognized
and conceded by Great Britain?

posing to ship in Canadian bot from

shipped from that point by the Grand
Trunk line through Canada. This mat
