An AGREEMENT SIGNED.
Hoaus Viyendi in Relation to
Behring Sea Fisheries
Renewed.
Agreement Almost Similar to
the One in Force Last
Year.
Ex-Clerk Young of the Senate Asks
for an Investigation of
Charges.

WASHINGTON, April l9.-An agree
ment between the United States and
Great Britain for modus vivendi in
relation to the fur seal fisheries in Behr-
ing sea for the present has been signed
by Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
minister, representing his government,
and by James g. Blaine, secretary of
state, representing the United States.
This important agreement was signed
at II o'clock a. m. at the residence OF
Mr.. Blaine, who, on account Of the in
clement weather, did not go to the de-
partment. He at once took it over to
the executive mansion and lad it before
the president who, in the afternoon,
transmitted it to the senate for It's action.
Provisions Of the Agreement.
The modus vivendi is in the form of a
supplemental convention to the treaty
of arbitration recently negotiated and
ratified. 1t states that both govern
ments will prohibit during the scaling
season the killing Of seal in that part of
the Behring sea lying eastward of the
line of demarcation described in article
of the treaty of 1867 between the
United States and Russia. The United
States is allowed to kill for the subsist-
ence of the natives on the islands of st.
Paul and st. George $500 seals-the
same restrictions as was in force last
year.
In general it may be said that the
document is renewal of the agreement
of 1891 with the addition Of clause
providing for the settlement of dam
ages sustained by Canadian sealers
through the interruption of their bust
ness in case the arbitration is against
the United States. Under this clause
owners Of Canadian sealing vessels have
already begun to file their claims with
committee appointed to receive and
present them; but General Foster, the
agent Of the United States, who is pre-
pairing the case for this government,
and Hon. E. j. Phelps, counsel, are
leaving no point uncovered and will be
fully prepared to meet the claims on this
score in the event that they shall ever
be pressed for payment.

Discussed in the, Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The senate
spent an hour and half in secret session
mainly in considering the treaty pro-
viding for reciprocity in sugar and pork
in France. Mr.. Sherman moved the
session and when the doors were closed
the text Of the agreement signed during
the day providing renewal of the
Behring sea modus vivendi pending a
settlement of the sealing difficulty by
arbitration was read. The discussion
that followed took the same lines for
and against a ratification of the treaty
as when twas first considered. 1t was
referred to the committee on foreign
relations.

Defeated the SWAMP Lnnd Bill.

WASHINGTON, April l9.-The house
refused to allow the passage of the bill
for the adjustment of the swamp land
grants in various states. This is mat
ter which affects some of the Southern
states to certain extent as we'll as
many Of the Northwestern states. In
fact, it applies to any state where
swamp land grants were made. The
object of the bill was to adjust the
grants upon the lines determined by
surveyors as swamp lands when the
surveys were made, and If any Of these
lands have been settled upon and
awarded to settlers and taken out of the
grant the state was to be reimbursed
for the loss.

ASKS FOR INVESTIGATION.
Ex-Clerk Young of the Senate Writes
Letter to the Vice President.

Ex-Clerk Young of the Senate Writes q
Letter to the Vice President.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Mr. James
B. Young, who was recently removed
from his position as executive clerk of
the senate, has written long letter to
Vice President Morton, in which he re-
views the circumstances Of his dismissal
from the Office of executive clerk. Mr..
Young takes occasion to deny in the
most emphatic way that he ever in any
manner betrayed any executive pro-
ceedings of the senate. He also cites
bis letter to Senator Cameron in which
he refuses to resign, and asks for an in
vestigation by the senate of what he
understands he is charged with. In the
letter to the vice president he states
that his resignation would have been an
admission Of guilt, hence his refusal to
resign.

Incnnsistant Silver Men.

The vote in the Senate the other day on
the Arizona bond question shows that the
advocates Of the free coinage of silver do
not believe what they say as to the effect
the free coinage Of silver would have upon
silver currency. They insist that 1t would
so increase the value Of silver that the sill
yer in a silver dollar would be worth q dol
lar in gold. II they believed this they
would not have voted as they did in the
| Senate on the Arizona bond question.
! The question before the Senate was
whether the territory Of Arizona should be
permitted to issue bonds, the principal and
interest being made payable IN gold, to take
up its floating indebtedness. The bill had
passed the House, but in the Senate it was
amended, by a vote OF 2S to "a, 80 as to pro-
vide for the payment of the principal and
interest in the lawful money Of the United
States"
Arizona IS now paying 10 per cent. in
forest on her indebtedness, and this interest
charge squite heavy burden to the people.
When IL was first proposed TO fund the debt
by issuing bonds bearing a much lower rate
Of interest, it was provided that the principal
and interest Of the bonds should be made
payable in the lawful money Of the United
States" 1t was found, however, that the
bonds could not be sold except
at ruinously heavy discount
The bankers to whom they were offered
said if the coinage Of silver were made free
the bonds would not be worth more than 20
cents on the dollar They advised the
Arizona authorities to get congress to
authorize the issuing of gold bond at a
comparatively low rate of interest, which
bond, they said, could be floated in the
markets of the world at par The House
granted the authority asked for, but the
Senate refused it, and insisted that the
bonds should be made payable in the law
full money Of the United StateS.n II the
silver senators believe. as they say they do.
that the free coinage of silver would make
the bullion In the silver dollar worth a
dollar in gold, why did they not permit
Arizona to issue gold bondsl II they are
correct the people Of Arizona could
not have lost anything, because a silver
dollar being worth as much as q gold dol
lar, it would be just as easy to pay the
bonds, and the interest on them. in gold as
in silver or notes based upon silver.
II, however, the bonds were made paya-
BILE in gold, and silver should become a de-
preciated currency. it would cost Arizona
good deal Of money to get the gold
with which to pay the bonds and the inter
est on them. The Senate's refusal to allow
Arizona to issue gold bond, therefore, is
pretty good evidence that the silver
senators believe that if the coinage
of silver were made free gold
would command premium. and,
perhaps, pretty heavy one. The lack OF
confidence which the silver senators have
in silver will cost the people of Arizona
dear, because If Arizona is compelled TO
issue bonds payable in the lawful money
of the United States" she will have to make
the bonds bear a higher rate of Interest
than If made payable in gold, and, perhaps.
she will have to sell the bonds at a heavy
discount.

Cleveland IN the West.

! The strength of the Cleveland sentiment
in the west is just beginning to be UNDER
\ stood II looks now as if about all the DEL
| egations from the western states would be
! favorable to him. In the Indiana conven-
! ton on Thursday the friends of ex-Gov.
/ Gray Of that state tried 70 have the delega-
! ton instructed for him. He is very popu-
lar and has been pronounced presidential
candidate for a long time. He could get
nothing more, however, than ali instruction
that the delegation should support him If it
should become apparent that Mr. Cleveland
could not be nominated.
In Illinois a great many of the delegates
to the state convention have been instructed
for Senator Palmer, but it is we'll under
stood that state will support Mr.. Cleve-
land after a complimentary vote has been
given TO Senator Palmer, and there appears
to be no doubt that Ohio will send a Cleve-
land delegation to Chicago Indeed, thein-
dications are now that the west will be al
most solid for Mr.. Cleveland. The little
Hill sentiment there is will not be able TO
find expression. Senator Hills friends tried
to work up boom for him in Indiana, but
failed completely. In spots in Ohio some
thing is being done in his behalf, but it
doesn't promise TO be productive OF results
that will be helpful to him at Chicago
Mr.. Cleveland is certain Of the west and
Of all the New England states. And he can
count upon New Jersey, Indiana and Mary
land. Pennsylvania he has already. 1t is
difficult, therefore, to see how his nomina-
tion can be prevented unless the south
should be overwhelmingly against him.
But there Is nowhere any indication that
the south will not support him. On the
contrary, there are good grounds for saying
that the south will demand his nomination.
Since the third party men have drawn out
Of the Democratic party there is much less
opposition to him in the democratic ranks
In the towns there was never any opposition
to him OF any consequence, but among the
farmers his anti-free coinage letter made
him enemies. However. the farmers are
getting better understanding Of the silver
question and their hostility to Mr.. Cleveland
is disappearing. The outlook in this state
is that Cleveland delegation will be chosen
and it is the same in nearly all the other
southern states.
1t is becoming daily more clear that the
one great issue Of the campaign will be the
tariff, and that with that issue Mr. Cleve-
land is the logical candidate OF the Demo-
cratic party.
