The offense is to be made misdemSa-

The flag has been made too common.
Advertisements are out of place on tho

that as the flag is the patriotic symbo
Of the whole country it ought not be
used for purly partisan purposes j.
should not be taken by any politica'

WASHINGTON, March 24-The Behring
sea dispute has reached stage so serious
that every man in public life in Washing
ton realizes how grave a question it is and
looks forward anxiously for the next devel-
opments The senate is now in possession
Of the latest evGsive dispatch from Lord
Salisbury and Of the firm response Of Presi-
dent Harrison, which was handed 20 Sir
Julian Pguncefote. The documents were
laid before the executive session of the
senate.
A great many senators, after hearing the
reply Of Lord Salisbury to the presidents
note Of March g. express the opinion that it
is not only vSgue and indefinite, but insin-
cere The principal objections to Salisbury's
reply are based on his reiteration Of a for
mer assertion that pelagio sealing is not de-
structiye Of seal life, and his declaration
that a submission OF the question to arbi-
tration would render q settlement indeh-
mite. As an illustration, bis lordship states
that Gregi Britain has devoted four years
TO an attempt TO determine an international
controversy between that nation and Por-
tugal and that no progress has been made
toward a conclusion.
The counter proposition to require all
Canadian sealers 20 give a bond to indem-
Nifty the United States for seals taken if the
tribunal Of arbitration should decide in
favor of this government, is regarded as
ridiculous. No plan is suggested by which
these bonds could be secured or collection
made if Judgment was rendered against
