THE TREATY.
TEXT OF THE ARBITRATION
AGREEMENT ON THE
The Subjects to be Submltted-HoW
Arbltrators Arctic be Chosen.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The preamble to
the arbitration treaty submitted TO the sen
ate by the president yesterday recites the
desire of the governments of the United
States and Great Britain for an amicable
settlement of questions arising be-
tional rights of the United States
rights in Behriag sea, and concering the
preservation of the fur seal in that and the
rights OF citizens or subjects Of either or
any other countries. Therefore they have
resolved to submit the question to
arbitration and plenipotentiary Secretary
Blaine and Sir Julian Pauuceforte have
agreed to 8 treaty,
The first article of the document reeites
that the questions in the pre-
amble be submitted to tribunal
Of arbitration to be composed Of
seven arbitrators, two to be named
by the president of the United
States and two by her mai
esty; The president of the French
name one, the king of Italy
to name one and the king of Sweden and
Norway 10 name one. The seven arbitra-
tors are to be iurists of distinguished
reputation in their respective countries.
Article six names i've points which are
to be submitted TO the arbitrators in order
that the award shall embrace decision
follows:
l. What exclusive Jurisdiction in the sea
known as BehrIng sea, and what exclusive
rights in the seal fisheries therein did
Russia assert and exercise prior and up TO
the time of the cession of Alaska to the
United Statesl
?. How far were these claims Of juris-
diction as to seal fisheries recognized and
conceded by Great Britainl
3. Was the body of v alter now known as
Behring sea included in phrase 'Pacifc
ocean, as used in the treaty of 1925 be-
tween Great Britain and Russia, and what
rights, if any, in Behring sea, were held
and exclusively exercised by Russia after
said treaty.
4 Did not all the rights of Russia as
to jurisdiction and as &c the
seal fisheries in Behringo sea east Of the
water boundary in the treaty between the
United States and Russia on the 30th Of
March, 1861, pass unimpaired TO the United
States under that treaty.
8. Has the United States any right and
if so, what right of protection of property
IN fur seals frequeuting the islands of the
United States in Behring sea when such
seals are found outside the ordinary three
mile limitl
Article provides that If the deter
mination of these questions shall leave the
subject in such position that the concur
renee of Great Britain is neces-
tons Tor the protection OF the
seals the arbitrator shall determine
what concurrent regulations ara necessary
and over what waters they extend, on
which point they may consider the report
of the joint commission. Both parties
agree to cooperate to secure the adhesion
of the powers to such regulations.

The Rehrinr Sea Matter.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The president
to-day sent to the senate correspondence in
regard to the Behring sea question covering
period from April 20, 1891, to date. OF
the recent correspondence the most i'm
portant letters are two from Sir Julian
Pauncefote, under dates February go and
March Z, and the reply sent yesterday.
In the note of February % Sir Julian in
forms Blaine that Salisbury does not adj
nit, as previously indicated by Blaine,
that delays have been greater on the part
OF Great Britain than the United States.
He says the British commissioners have
reported there is no danger Of serious
diminution of the seals, and therefore the
necessity Of the moduS vivendi Is not ap-
parent. Still he would not object TO pro-
hibition limited to a zone not more than
thirty miles around Pribylof islands, pro-
vided the catch on the islands is limited to
10000
In the note of March z Sir Julian pre-
sents further arguments in support Of Sal
isbury's refusal TO accede to another modus
vivendi
In the res ponse sent yesterday Assistant
Secretary. Wharton calls attention to the
fact that the treaty OF arbitration awaits
only the action of the American senate, and
that the Judgment of the arbitration
tribunal cannot be stated in time to control
the conduct Of the sealers during the pres
eat season.
b The urgent question, he says, is, what
does good faith, to say nothing Of inter
national comfy, require of the parties 10
the arbitrationg Was It ever heard before
he asks. that one party to such contro-
versy. whether a nation or an individual
could appropriate the Whole or any part Of

Morgan's Bill.

Morgan to-day introduced bill in the
senate declaring that all laws and part Of
laws are imperative which exempt from
payment of duties articles of commerce
which are not on the free list, entered in
custom houses for transportation through
the United States, to or from any British
possession. Morgan will use the same
arguments in behalf of the bill President
Cleveland used in his message sent to con-
gress in the first session of the Eiftieth
congress.
This message recommended certain retail
iatory legislation touching intercourse with
Canada and was called forth as result of
the rejection by the senate of the treaty
negotiated for settlement and adjustment
of differences existing between the United
Statesand Great Britain cnocerning the
rights and privileges of American fisher
men IN the ports and waters of British
North America
The president then recommended imme-
date legislative action comforting upon the
executive power to suspend by proclama-
ton the operation of all laws and regula-
tions permitting the transit of goods, wares
and merchandise in bond across or over the
territory of the United States to and from
Canada, and this is the object of Morgan's
bill, which would deprive the Canadian Pa
citic railroad Of its valuable concession of
the right to transport goods in bond through
the United States TO and from Europe and
other foreign ports.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The senate COM
mittee on foreign relations to-day spent an
hour in consideration of the Behring sea
arbitration treaty While it was practi-
calIy decied the treaty should be reported to
the senate with the recommendation that it
be approved, no formal action of that ma
ture was taken. as the committee believe it
the prudent course to await receipt from
the president of Salisbury's reply to the
last proposition looking to a renewal of the
modus vivendi.
1t is learned many senators, without re-
gard to PARTY lines, are determined that
some provision must be made for the re-
newal Of the modus vivendi as condition
precedent to the consummation of the
treaty The treaty itself is said to be IN
Objectionable, but to meet the evil which
now impends it is proposed by number of
senators to accompany the resolution of
ratification by a resolution directing the
president to withhold an exchange of rati-
fications until the government of Great
Britain consents to renew the modus
yiyendi

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-1Ir. Mills though
still suffering with erysipelas was on his
way to the house Monday TO take part in
the proceedings, intending to vote with the
bulk Of his party on the silver resolutio n
when he met his physician who
peremptorily ordered him back to his
room, saying he would retire from the case
if his order was not obeyed. This accounts
for his absence on that occasion. Had he
been there, there is no doubt of his
acting with the advocates of silver,
though he has never hesitated to
assert that he believes it wiser
policy to make the tarifF the dominant issue
and relegate silver to the rear until the
tariff fight is won. In this view it appears
that the majority of the party differ with
Mr.. Mills, for as a matter of fact the
tariff is not nearly so interesting
a question here as the other. That
was clearly shown to-day when Benton
Mcmillan fired the opening gun in the
tariff battle, taking the place of the
sick chairman Of the ways and
means committee. Although he made
splendid speech, it fell comparatively fiat.
The applause was liberal, but not specially
enthusiastic. Had he made the same argu-
ment with silver for text there would
have been rousing demonstration.

Cu!bersen,s Rnls.

Some very important bills framed by Mr..
Culberson were enacted by the house to-
day. One requiring Federal judges in
their charges to juries to conform
to the practice that prevails in
the state where the court is held. It re-
quires judges to charge the law and abstain
from commenting on the facts, thereby vir-
tually debating verdicts, as had become a
common abuse. Such arbitrary power can
no longer be exercised under the Culberson
bill
Another bill, also from Mr.. -CuIberson,
passed the house changing the time of,
holding the courts in the Eastern district
of Texas, bill approved by the
district judges and the bar
a each of the four courts IN the district.
A third bill of importance relating to the
judiciary, the work of Mr.. Culberson, was
passed, disqualifying United States judges
and commissioners from sitting
in any case where they are
akin to either party or in
cases involving questions in which they
may have been employed prior to their ap-
pointment to the bench. Another bill from
the same source requires United States
marshals TO sell lands in the counties where
they are situated.

Business of All Kinds Suspended In
st. Paul and Other Cities.

ST.. PAUL, MINI, March 9.-Yesterday
the weather of this state and throughout
the Northwest was balmy and springlike.
To-day has been raging the worst blizzard
for years. 1t was reported late last night
in North Dakota, and extended over that
entire state this morning To-day howl
ing gale and heavy drifting
snow is reported from Wisconsin
and Minnesota and the Dakotas and
tonight the blizzard continues with una
bated fury. while the mercury is away
down. Business has been practically sus-
pended throughout the Northwest, also
schools and street car service to this
city and elsewhere. Trains are
delayed or abandoned, and a general
paralysis of everything has resulted
Several trains were abandoned or held in
unprotected localities because the officials
feared they would be blown from the track
if they started out in the blizzard. Com
munication has been cut of to large ex-
tent by wire. The Western bureau an
nounces the storm will probably continue
until tomorrow night.

Dallas papers did not go before with

more, and what the Dallas paper has
not accomplished in years of travel with
