THE RERING SEA.

The threatening attitude of the Boring
Sea dispute when we went to press last week
suddenly resolved itself into peaceful out
look upon the reception of telegram from
Lord Salisbury, which most unexpectedly
agreed to the Presidents request. This re-
newal of the modus vivendi for another year
was acceded to, with some stipulations that
were agreeable to our Government. The
Arbitration Treaty was thereupon unani-
mously ratified by the Senate. It provides
that the controversy shall be submitted to
tribunal Of seven Arbitrators, the President
and the Queen to nominate two each
and the President of France, the King of
Italy, and THE King of Norway and Sweden
to nominate one each. These are to consider
five questions:
l. What exclusive Jurisdiction In the sea now
known as the Boring Sea- and what exclusive
rights in the seal fisheries therein, did Russia
assert and exercise prior and up to the time Of the
cesson Of Alaska to the United States?
/. How far were these claims of jurisdiction as
to the seal fisheries recognized and conceded by
Great Britain?
2 Was the body Of water now known as the
Boring Sea included in the phrase Pacific Ocean"
used in the treaty of 1925 between Great Britain
and Russia, and what rights, if any, In the Bering
Sea were held and exclusively exercised by Russia
after said treaty?
T. Did not all the rights Of Russia to jurisdic-
ton, and as to the seal fisheries in Boring sea east
OF the water boundary, In the treaty between the
United States and Russia Of the 30lh of March. 1867
pass unimpared to the United States under that
treaty?
5. Has the United States any right, and, II so.
what right, Of protection property in the fur
seals frequentng the islands Of the United States
in Boring Sea when such seals are found outside
the ordinary three mile limit?
Both sides to the dispute are to submit
full statements of their cases to the Arbiters
within four months after the same shall be
appointed. The Arbiters are to meet in
Paris within 20 days. All questions are to
be decided by a majority vote.
1t is believed that whatever views may be
taken by the Arbiters of the first four propo
sitions, the decision Of the fifth, which con-
Germs the public good, must be in favor of
the United States, and as this is the essential
portion of the dispute, the result of the arbi-
traton is awaited with entire confidence

ARE YOU COMING2

Every veteran who intends to come to the
GAR. National Encampment, and every
one who thinks it even possible that he
may come, should send in his name, post
Office address, regiment, brigade aud corps
to The NATIONAL TRIBUNE. Even
if he does not come, his postal card
will be pleasant reading to his old comrades
who do come. They will be glad to see in
his own handwriting that he is alive, where
he is, and that he thought of them.

To TAKE the duty off wool will be to take
long step toward reducing the farmers of
this country to the condition Of the poverty
smitten serfs of Europe and Asia. With the
assistance given by their little f1ocks thou
sands of small farmers are now able to show
q profit at the end Of each seasons opera
tions. Without this assistance they cannot
hope to maintain their independent lives,
and must sink 10 the condition of slaves on
the estates of nabobs.

THE comrades should not be deceived by
the present bill in the fight against pensions.
Their enemies have not abated one iot of
their malignancy. They are just as ven-

organized as ever, and are only waiting
their time TO renew the assault with more
fury than ever. 1t is the old 'possum bust
ness. They hope to catch the veterans off
their guard.

The thing that surprises one in this state
ment is that such an immense number OF
rebels should have been captured with SO
small loss of killed and wounded in their
resistance to capture. 1t hardly fits well
with their unconquerable determination to
die before yielding to the insolent foe"
Some of the details are very interesting.
For example, Shiloh is given as Confed-
crate victory, with a loss On their side of
1,728 killed, s,012 wounded, and $50 capt
ured, while the Federals lost 2 $50 killed,
1852 wounded, and 4,044 captured, which is
not so far out Of the way as most of the
figures. Stone River is given as another Con-
fsderate victory, with rebel loss Of 1000
killed, 5000 wounded and 1900 captured,
and a Federal loss Of 1890 killed, IL, $40
wounded, and 1913 captured. No explana-
ton is given of why after licking the Yankees
so awfully, the rebels went off and left them
in possession of the battlefeIds.
At Fort Donelson the rebel loss is stated
at 231 killed and 1,007 wounded, and they
killed 1900 Yankees and wounded $3.50,
yet they surrendered the fort, the whole of
Kentucky and the most Of Tennessee.

Two Essentials for a Baking Pow
der That VIII Make Perfect



der That VIII Make Perfect
Bread.
The late Report of the Minnesota State
Food and Dairy Commission contains the
result of a series of experiments made by
Prof. @. w. Drew, state chemist, to deter
mine the strength and keeping qualities of
the various baking powders.
The report attaches great importance to
these experiments. Baking powders that
vary in strength, or that readily lose
strength before use, are unreliable and
Will not give even results; besides, it is
an indication of the use of improper in
gradients in their compounding. The
tests showed the strength or leav-
ening power of the Royal very much
greater than that of the others. The
uniformity of strength of all the samples
of Royal tested, no matter what their age,
was remarkable. Its leavening power was
practically unimpaired even in the
Oldest specimens. The difference
in the amount of leavening
gas in different samples of the other brands
was so great as to seriously impair their
usefulness in baking AS much as "a per
cent loss was found in samples a few
months old. All the samples of Royal ex-
amined by State Chemist Drew were re-
ported of satisfactory strength and quality.
DR.. Drew states that the Royal" being
of greater strength than any other, and
possessing better keeping qualities, it is
the natural conclusion that it is the best
baking powder made.
