THE REHRING SEA TRoUBLE.

The refusal of Lord Salisbury to renew
the arrangement relative to the taking of
seals in ,Behring Sea which was in force
last year bids fair to give rise to some
very serious complications. 1t is pretty
certain that if the Canadian poachers are
permitted to take seals in the sea during
the tendency of the arbitration proceed
ings the seal will have been brought so
near determination as to leave little in
Behring Sea worth protecting. On the
other hand if during the pendency of the
arbitration proceedings our revenue cut
tiers are instructed to seize the poachers
and if they do sieze them trouble with
England is likely inasmuch as that
country has never acknowledged our
right to police Behring Sea but has on
the contrary once very plainly intimated
to our state department that if we con-
tinued to seize Canadian sealers we were
likely to meet resistance from British
war vessels. In view of Lord Sails
bury's action our government might re-
fuse to go on with the arbitration pro
ceedings, but that would leave the ques-
ton of our rights in Behring Sea unset
tied and might force upon us the unpleas-
antdilemma of choosing between the vol
untary abandonment of our claim to jul
risdiction in the sea, and the maintenance
Of our claim, for which resort to force
be roaocCoru
Lord Salisbury by his strange action
has brought about a very serious condi-
ton of affairs and unless he recedes
grave complications are likely to ensue.
Salisbury's action appears to be entirely
indefensible, and the only explanation of
it is that he has allowed himself to be
controlled in the matter by Canada which
has been very bitter in its opposition to
our pretensions in Behring Sea and has all
along strenuously protested against any
arrangement which would stop even for
a brief time the work of exterminating
the seal that has been carried on for
many years past by poachers fitted out
in her ports and manned by her citizens.
