And the Behring Sea Controversy Will be
Settled by Means of an Agreement to
that Effect Having Been Signed.
WAsTsSe-oN, March 1.-The negatia-
tions between the United States and
Great Britain looking to the submis-
sion to arbitration of the long-pending
controversy between the two countries
in regard to the Behring sea seal fish
cries reached favorable conclusion
yesterday.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
minister, met Secretary Blaine by ap-
pointment, and signed the treaty on be-
half of Great Britain. He said he had
been fully authorized by Lord Sails
bury to take this action. Mr.. Blaine
signed the document on behalf of this
government, and the matter was con-
summated so far as the diplomatic part
of the business is concerned. The
treaty is still subject, however, to tn
action of the British parliament and
the United States senate. The exact
terms of the treaty cannot now be
stated but it is known that the board
of arbitration will consist of seven per-
sons, two representing the United
States, two representing Great Britain
Zone of whom is to be Canadian), and
one each representing the neutral gov
ernments of France, Sweden and Italy

Political Integrity demanded.

In the spring as well as in the fall
elections this year the republican party
platform should have as one Of its
chief planks party and political in
tegrity." The monstrous outrages
committed by the Tammany conspira-
tors in this state by which a fraudu-
lent majority in the senate was OBJ
tanned through the help of a conspir-.
ing and dishonest state board of can
vassers has borne its Legitimate fruit
The Tammany conspirators now pro-
pose to take absolute possession and
control of the state and guarantee
their supremacy in the legislature by
means of a bogus enumeration under
an unconstitutional statute passed by a
fraudulent senate. Party lines are
resting lightly on the people, and evi-
dences multiply that conscientious
democrats by the thousand in this state
are only waiting an opportunity to re-
bnke and punish the odious conspira-

BARBED-WIRE PATENTS.

The Validity of the Patents Held by the
Washburn & Moen Manufacturing Co.
Affirmed by the United States Supreme
Court.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The validity
of the barbed-wire-fence patents held
by the Washburne e. Moen Manufac-
turing Co., was affirmed by the su-
preme court in decision rendered by
Justice Brown yesterday. They were
involved in three cases appealed by the
Washburne & Moen Co. from the North
ern Iowa circuit court. "Two defences
were made to the patents in the trial Of
the cases below, said Justice Brown, 81,
that it contained no new principle, other
patents having left no subject for in
vention; and, 2, that it was not patenta-
BILE for want of novelty, similar fences
having been in use in Iowa long ago"
The testimony on the latter point,
the court says, was open to suspicion,
and while it may have been true that
something like the fence was used
prior to the date of patent, the in
ventor made success out of what had
been failure hitherto. AS to the
merit of the invention, the courts say
the field was narrow, they yet believe
there was point that was patentable,
and this point he covered Any doubt
on the subject, the court say, they felt
like rendering in his favor, and they
therefore sustained the validity of the
patent The judgment of the court be-
low is reversed and the cases remanded
for further hearing and accounting by
defendants

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

On the Goth Secretary Blaine was
closeted with the president for half an
hour. discussing matters pending be-
tween Great Britain and Africa.
1T is said that the Behring sea agents
are nearing the end of their work and
will probably adjourn soon. AS they
meet behind closed doors and observe
the utmost secrecy, it is impossible to
assert positively what conclusions have
been reached by them SO far, but it is
rumored that they have agreed unani-
mously that pelgic sealing shall be
Gtopped.
IT was announced on the Goth that
Minister Reid and the French minister
of commerce, M. Roche. had arrived at
basis. of agreement for commercial
trade relations between France and the
United States.
ADyICEs from Senegal, West Africa,
are to the effect that Muzon's expedi-

ward the Congo.
On the Goth the Sayward case and the
case of the schooner Sylvia Hardy, in
volving the jurisdiction Of the United
States over the Behring sea, was de-
cided by the United States supreme
court against the British government.
This does not make invalid the arbitra-
tion negotiations now going on between
this country and Great Britain, but it
would have had its effect against the
United States in the negotiations if the
court had rendered different decision.

A ST. Louis paper, alluding to re-
marks made by Gov. Fifer of Illinois on
the wiczedness of our great cities, took
occasion to rail at Chicago ON the num-
ter of unpunished murderers infesting

proportion to the number of murders
committed, there are fewer convictions
ana proportionately less number of
executions in st. Louis than in its sister

FALSE REPORTS.
The Underhanded Metbo ods of Cowardly
Democrats.

Democrats.
Mr.. Blaine's very emphatic charac-
terization of the degree of the false
hood that charges him with intent to
resign his Office as ''infernal'' may or
may not prevent its repetition in dem
ocratic newspapers. In the lower class
of them it is likely to be repeated and
re-repeated with the other falsehoods
about a treasury deficit, fifty per
cent advance on the retail prices OF
tin-plate, or a tariff duty averaging
eighty per cent. on all imports But
we may expect all journals of the
higher class to eschew it. during the
next fortnight at least.
1t is sign presaging more than ordi-
nary discontinue to the democratic
legions that their generals dare to
venture on no serious skirmish fighting.
The campaign must open in ear
nest a month or two hence, but the
timorous democrats do not dare to
''feel the enemy's line" by irregular at
tacks on any Of the republican outposts.
They huddle together and strive to
stimulate each others courage by false
stories Of republican dissensions. If
there really were republican dissen-
sions the democrats would be busy at
tacking the posts commanded by the
disaffected republicans. But there is
no sign Of such action. There are no
such posts to attack.

BLACK AND WHITE.
Views Of an English Tory Newspaper on the
Race Problem in America.

LoNpoS, June 1.-THE Post saws that
the negro question is the greatest difficulty
which besets America. Racial antipahy
has made enormous strides since the war
The Northerner hugs to himself the belief
that the difficulty will settle itself.
The Southerner, while he realizes the
daily peril to himself TO his wife and his
daughters, is indifferent. The question
checks the progress of the South, and deters
capital from seeking investment there
The blacks are increasing in numbers
every year, and win shortly be in an over
whelming majority in many of the states.
The hostility on the part of the whites is
increasing and lynchings are of daily occur
renee. There are many more in the Ameri-
can newspapers than known of. and many
more than the American newspapers re-
port.
1t has been suggested that the two races
settle the question by intermarrying: bn,
this is not feasible. The transportation of
the blacks to Liberia or elsewhere is more
likely, although there are objections to that
method of settlement. Anyhow. the sou-
ton Of the question is daily becoming more
urgent, and it is impossible to forecast What
fate may have in store on the subject

WAR SHIPS ASSEMBLING.
The Mediterranean Powers Alarmed Al Eng.
lands 0oinss in Morocco.

LoNpoN, June l1.-England, France,
Spain and Italy are again watching Mo-
rocco and each other. Spain is especially
jealous of England, who has just sent Sir
Charles Evan smith on IA special mission
to the Sultan's capital. This action has
aroused the suspicion OF the powers men
toned. dispatch from Madrid SAYS that
the Ambassadors of France and Italy have
consulted the Spanish Premier with regard
to the state of affairs in Tangier They
have resolved to advise the sending of war
ships by their respective governments, in
view of the probable naval demonstration
by England
Another dispatch from Madrid announced
tfIat several warsbips have arrived at Bar
cciOna ito overawc the disorderv element
which has for some days been rioting at in
tervals in Barcelona and vicinity, and TO
defend the vessels in the harbor, should
any attempt be made to attack them" The
reason given is not credited The vessels
are undoubtedly on their way to Tangler
The trouble threatening at Tangler is
only possibility at present. The Bashaw
of Tangier started today with 5000 Moroc-
can troops to punish the rebels of Anjerah.
This district, inhabited by sturdy semi
Berber race of independent character has
long groaned under the oppression of the
Sultans governors, and only recently al
vanced to within measurable distance of
Tangier.
The Anjerai people having always been
OF q troublesome nature, even when not in
open rebellion. Attempts have been made
for centuries to satisfy them by merely
changing their governor. First they were
placed under the jurisdiction of the Bashau
of Tangier, then under his colleague of
Tetuan, and again under a Kaid of their
own. II is not many years since they were
handed over from Tetuan To Tangier in
consequence of deputation they had sent
to the Sultan, and quite recently they again
complained, and were placed under u
special GOVERNOR man Who was expected
to do them justice.
The people of Anjerah, thoroughly loyal
to the Sultan as their spiritual chief, are
simply demanding their rights as loyal sub
jects. Pacific measures having failed,
they have revolted. There is no reason to
suppose that this insurreciiOn will have
more important consequences than its np-
merous predecessors, unless France or
Spain should think tit to use it as prctext
for Intervention, or unless the Arabs sue
ceed in defeating the Bashaw, when Tan
gler would be in danger.

LAWMAkiNG FOR IRELAND.
Baliour Says the Question Mas Rsschtd q
Critical Period.

LoSpnS, June lin an address before
the Conservative Union, MIR. Balfour SAID
that the development Of the Irish question
had reached most critical period. The
Gla1stonians were bound by the necessities
of their situation to rely, not upon perform
anccs, but npon promises, to sweeten the
bitter iraught of home rule The Consery-
alive performances in the past showed what
might be expected of them in the future IN
the direction of legislation They must
mainly bc concerned with social reforms
Mr.. Baltour then rec0nnted the various
measures that have already figured in the
Tory programme. lie added that the ro,A
ernment had in view no plan for old age
pensions hut he thought private enter
prise might be supplemented by state aid
In the House of Commons the gov
ernment accepted the amendments to the
Irish education bill proposed by Mr.. Thos
sexton Nee tarthyite), member for West
Belfast, and the measure then passed the
committee stage.
The National League of Great Britain
has issued manifesto to Irishmen in Great
Britain. II says that the anti Parneites
have rejected honorable terms for u truce
and have declared war to the knife, and
predicts that three years viii elapse without
home rule for Ireland being granted.
At the expiration of that time the mani
festo continues, part of the cCarth, ties
will have deserted to the enemy and the
others will have fled the country In dis-
grace. The little band of pnrneliites will
then form the nucleus Of q new Irish army
TO save the nation.
