that he is, determined that Anne
ricGn rights shall be main tanned
leJ the consequences be what
they may. All Of the correspond
ence up to date together with the
recently signed arbitration treaty,
is before the Senate, which Judging
from opinions expressed by individ-
uals is Of about the same mind as
the President, and it is not prob
able that the treaty will be ratified
unless Lord Salisbury on behalf of
dis government, shall agree to a
renewal Of the moduS vivendi in
Bthring Sea. Should he persist in
refusing it is probable that the trea-
ty will be rejected and sufficient
naval force sent to Behring Sea to
seize all illegal sealers, and if need
sbe TO fight any British vessels that
may interfere. And that is not all.
Canada may expect to find all the
<avors she now enjoyes by courtesy
of this government withdrawn.
Aord Salisbury would better think
awice before acting upon the last
communication sent him. He GER
aainly would ifhe knew how very
popular war with Great Britain
soulG be in this country.
The opening of the tariff debate
in the House was very tame COM
CARED with the similar events in the
Fitieth and Fiity-First Congresses.
The galleries were empty and not
eone halfof the members were in
tGheir seats. Mr.. Nc Millin made the
opening speech, supposedly in favor
OF the free wool bill, but in reality Il
rambling defense of the alleged pol
icy of the Democrats as far as it re-
Dates to appropriations and thetaritf.
Mr.. Dngley, Of Maine, in his reply
easily demolished the fee trade
champion.
Representative HArter, of Ohio,
as about the only man in Congress
who expresses any doubt of the
House passing the Bland free coin
age bill by a majority anywhere
from 30 t. 20 when it is taken up
under the resolution adopted on
Monday last. Mr.. Harter believes,
cor processes to believe, that between
NOW and the % inst, he can con-
vince enough Democrats of the dan
ger attending the passage Of the
Iree coinage bill to defeat it.
The Democrats are getting SER
i0usiy al irmed over the outlook for
their party in the next house of
Representatives., which some of
Ishem acknowledge to be anything
else but encouraging. In spite of
&heir big majority in the present
Blouse they see defeat staring them
Ia 'heface, in the next Congression-
al election. Representative Nc
asEo0ry, who wants 10 be chairman
" fire Congressional campaign COM
aNittoe, has obtained enough sigma
.fGres TO nave a Democrat caucus
oc2!led fer the purpose of naming
@G g House members Of that COM
EXittee, and it will be issued at
slyRcc.
LE-Speaker Reed was given
grand reception Oh Tuesday eve
4ing by the National Republican
Auxiliary Association, an orginaza-
tdea composed Of representatives
IrUOl the various State associations
existing here, and q more enthus.
Nsstic crowd has never assembled in
washington, The eX-Speaker re-
.spOnded to congratulatory address
delivered by Representative Bur-
r8Na, of Michigan, in his best vein
m0t forgetting the shortcomings of
the present House, including their
%5canmizing by cutting down the APP
prGpTieti0n for school books for the
EcGGC children in the District of Col
au1bia public schools and closing
rtFith "MeanWhile the Republican
gParty, emerging from its temporary
disaster, turns its shining face to
aGTcre, now as ever, the one hope of
progress of the people of the United

FpEe Commissioner of Patents,
hIas issued the following circular
QStter to all having business before
s,N with that office: "The Patent
Splice regrets that, in consequence
e7f want of room for the storage and
arrangement ofprinted copies of pat
.zsuts, il will be impossiable to fill
your order in current issues until
conditional room is provided by the
VryTcpar authorities" This will en-
tsii great hardship on thousands of
manufacturers, inventors and own
