The Bending Suggestion Brought Up in
Another Form.
As an alternative course we are also
willing. after the ratification of the treaty,
to prohibit sealing in the disputed waters
if vessels be excepted from prohibition
which produce certificate that they have
given security for such damages as the
arbitrator may assess in case of a decision
adverse to Great Britain, the arbitrator
to receive the necessary authority on that
behalf. In this case a restriction of
slaughter on the islands will not, in point
of equity. be necessary.
Her majesty's government are unable
to see any other than one of these two
methods of restricting seal-hunting in the
disputed waters during the arbitration,

Pauncefote's Note of June IA, 1890.
The pith of Pauncefote's note of June

from statements in the public press and
from other sources that the revenue
cruisers Rush and Corwin are now about to
be despatched to the Behring Sea, can not

received from my government, defer

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The second

will probable break with full force to-
morrow shortly after the house is called to
order, when CHtchings will report from
the committee on rules a special order
providing for an hour for voting on the
measure, and containing a provision to
prevent filibustering. Speaker Crisp is

stood that the rule will provide for vote

that Reed will advocate its adoption. as

gress. The probabilities are that the
special order will be adopted by the aid of

CUTTING DOWN ON THE coNsuLs
Blount Saves $4,000 on the DipIoma attic
Approximation.


WASHINGTON, March 2S-Blount, chair
man of the house committee on foreign
affairs, has submitted to the house his re-
port on the diplomatic and consular ap-
preparation bill. The bill as reported
carries S553, III less than the estimates of
the state department, and 1000 less than
the appropriation for the current fiscal
year. The number of missions has been
reduced by consolidating those of Den
mark, Sweden and Norway, OF Columbia
and Ecuador, and of Peru and Bolivia
The salaries of consul general at London,
Paris, Havana, Rio de Janeiro and Liver
pool have been reduced from Sc 900 to
to 5000 each and a reduction of $500 has
been made in the salaries of consuls of
less Importance and in Rio Grande do Sui,
Aigiers, Gabono. Bombay, Gaspe, Basic,
Levuka, Guaymas, Santiago, St Paul de
Loando and Zanzibar the salary has been
wholly cut off and the compensation con-
fined to fees.
No Fame for the Foreign Minister.
The report says that the facilities of
transmission and interchange of thought
in every matter connected with foreign
countries dispense to some extent with the
need OF foreign representation. 1t enables
the home government to communicate
rapidly and freely on all questions of diff
ference with foreign governments and to
give directions in the most minute detail.
So completely does this practice now OBJ
tain that we shall scarcely find fame
springing from the action of our repre-
sentatives at foreign courts in the future
as in the early days of the republic. Very
much, the report continues, might be
safely done in reducing the number of our
ministers by abolition or the union of sew
eral countries under one mission. But not
encouraged, the report says, to hope for an
acceptance of these views by the senate or
the president it has been deemed best to
make few of such changes.
