A Decided Setback.

A preliminary vote was taken In the
House of Representatives Thursday last
which was in the nature of genuine sur
prise to Mr.. Bland, the author and cham
pion Of the compulsory coinage silver bill,
the result Of which was the placing of the
bill upon the calendar instead of giving 1t
it's tiual step toward passage. The vote
with that of Speaker Crisp's in its favor
stood l4S to l48. Republicans, with few
exceptions, voted against the bin, The
Maine delegation, Of course, stood by
sound money and worked valiantly for
the defeat OF the Ubiquitous Bland mon
strosity.
They are giving Mr.. Reed much tredi,
In Washington, for the defeat of the bill
Mr.. Harter of Ohio, one Of the most prom
inent of the antifree coinage Democrats
ascribes the result, among other things
to "the sound money Republicans In the
House, and 1t would be gross injustice
not to say that, led by x.Speaker Reed
Mr.. Burrows and others, they have proved
| that they were patriots first and Republl-
cans last"
The bill will come up again before many
days, when another struggle will ensue.

TIE ARBITRATION TREATY RATIFIED.
The two hours spent 10 executive SEES
sion by the Senate Tuesday suiilced to
complete the consideration of the Behr-
ing sea arbitration treaty and it was rati-
fled by unanimous vote. The debate
was without incident.
Mr.. Sherman presented two amend
ments, which were agreed TO. One pro-
yides that this arguments and proceedings
before the arbitrators shall be in the Eng
fish language. This amendment was
suggested to Sir Julian Paunceforte a
day OF two ago. The formal assent of
Lord Salisbury came In cabiegram this
morning.
The same procedure was followed in
the case of the second amendment which
changes article | l Of the treaty to require
the arbltrators to make decision, if pos
sibe, within four months instead of
three, from the close of the arguments of
counsel.
This chsnge is believed desirable in
view of the magnitude of the subject and
the enormous volume of testimony to be
considered by the Arbitrators. The OPP
position to the ratification which had
been much weakened yesterday, complete
ly disappeared as result of Mr. Sher-
mans explanation to-day and when the
question was taken on the res olu ION of
the ratification there were no nays, the
yeas numbered ", an unusually large
vote in the Senate.
resolution notifying the President Of
the action of the Senate WAS also passed.
1t is understood that the cabinet at its
meeting Monday practically agreed to &C
cept Lord Salisbury's proposition for a
renewal of last years modus vivend
with certain limitations MS to the charac.
ter OF damages, to be left to the deter.
mination of the arbitration.

Of discoloration of seawater is reported
from Port Jackson, the harbor of Sydney,

This was found to be due to the invasion

Gleuodium, which in the course of few
days destroyed half Of the shore animals.
Nearly all the bivalves in the place which
it effected died, the oyster beds being Sc

The Behrlng Sea Issue.

Salisbury has replied to Whsrton's last
note on the Berhing Sea issue, in vein
more considerate and with IA tendency to
retreat from his indefensible opposition
to the renewal of the modus vivendi. He
agrees to renew the modus vivendi on
these conditions-that if, under the arbi-
trstion treaty, the United States win, Eng
land shall pay what the arbitra'ors think
our sellers have lost during the modus
viyendi. On the contrary, if We lose, the
United States Shall pay what the seaers
may have lost. Or, MS an alternative, Sal
isbuty suggests the sealers may give bonds
to pay damages. Our government has al
ready shown that the giving of bonds is
an impracticable scheme. But it is not at
all unlikely that Salisbury's modified pro.
position will lead to a speedy composition
Of the issues. The Senate will ratify tue
arbitration treaty and probably will pass a
resolution supporting the State Depart
ment and the Presidents position.
1t is said on good authority that the
President and cabinet are well pleased
with the conciliAtory tone of Lord Sails
bury's note of the 26th, especially as it is
held to concede the point that has beer
the principal cause OF contention, via, the
renewal of the modus vivend of last veal
Tor the protection of the seal ii sheries
This alleged concession is believed to be
implied III his proposition to agree to the
modus in case the treaty or arbtt ration il
ratified, under the condition that each gov
ernment shall guarantee the other for dam
ages incurred through the suspension o
the sealing Operations.
One official who has been consulted b,
the President in regard to the negotiations
said he was especially pleased with Lorr
Salisbury's ADM, sion that Great Britain
would hold itself liable for damages re
sulting to the United States because of tn,
modus viyendi in event Of a verdict of tn
arbitrators adverse to its contention.
He said that taking it altogether, Lor
Sahsbury's note was satisfactory as indi
eating good prospect for an amlcabl
| settlement of the questions at issue.

stated that II Cole had had an attorney
his case would have appea'.ed in a differ

Council granted Cole . conditional par

to put the telegraph system of the coun-
try in the hands OF the government.
This subject was briefly discussed by
the President, Secretary and Messrs.
Que of our business men broached the
sui ject of the public park and spoke
quite earnestly against the proposition
to trade oil the interest of the townin the
beautiful spot bequeathed to the town
by Governor Coburn. He said he would
ike to have the matter discussed and
thoroughly understood by the people of
the town and he thought the Board Of
Trade would do well to give the matter
attention and make itself felt with the
committee appointed by the town to inSes
tigate the mater. Other members present
spoke decidedly adverse to having the
owns interest in this property exchanged
for other property. The hope was ex
pressed that the owners of that part of
the park tract formerly the property Of
Philsnder Coburn would feel like con
yeying to the town their interest in the
property and thus relieve the present EN-
arrassed situation.
