ator in the plot to assassinate Judge

Tho Course of Lord Salisbury in the Behr-
ing Sea Matter Sharply Criticised by q
Prominent Official i'm washington-Muso
Americans Sneeze Every Time the Bri'
isii Government Takes Snuh.
WASHINGTON, March 26.--"Much has
been said about Lord Salisbury's Motif
cation to the president that he would
not renew the existing modus vlvenoi,
respecting sealing in Behring sea, SAID
a prominent officia. to-day. 1T has
been quoted as if the fact precluded
President Harrison from taking the
stand he has, and that because LORD
Salisbury made that statement June o.
last year. the president somehow IS
guilty of serious offense IN
insisting upon renewal at this
time. Suppose Lord Salisbury
did say he would not renew the modus
vivendi. is the president to be bound
by the assertions of the British govern
ment? If SO better let his lordshlp set
tie the whole question his own way
and have done with it. But the sltua-
ton now is different from what it was
then expected to be. Having practl-
cally agreed upon arbitration, ana
signed a modus vivendi to continue un-
til the time when it was supposed the
arbitration would have been finished'
Lord Salisbury proceeded to defeat
the immediate conclusion of the
treaty by attacking one or an
other of it's clauses and in this way
postpone for months the signing OF a
document to which he had substan-
TALLY agreed. Now that the time has
slipped away till another sealing sea-
son is opening. he refuses to renew the
modus vivendi and those Americans
who think they must sneeze when the
English government take snuff, unite
in chorus that the United States was
duly warned months ago of what the
position to-day was likely 10 be. All
through this business Lo1d Salisbury"
concluded the gentleman, has been
insincere and trifing. and think it IS
high time for the United States to as
sert it's rights in the matter"

The Ottawa Evening Journal Describes
the Situation as Very Grave. and Fears
Canada Would Have to Bear the Brunt
in Case of War.
OTTAWA, Ont, March 26.-The Even
ing Journal Und. }, discussing the Beh-
ring sea situation, describes it as very
grave, and says editorially: eff the dis
patches from Washington are to be
trusted. there is really danger of very
serious trouble between Great Britain
and the United States President Har-
rison is apparently assuming domi-
neering course without much regard to
consequences. In this he is supported
by nine tenths of the United States
press. One can net contemplate with
out shrinking the possibility of a war
between the two most powerful and
determined nations of the world, par
ticularly when the brunt of the war
must fall on ourselves.
eff Canadians have to take their
share in a struggle SO threatening to
themselves, they will do so fearlessly,
but there is meanwhile no courage in
disregarding or belittling the danger
that threatens. Many good people talk
of the improbability of two such en-
lightened nations, allied by ties of
blood, coming to battle. If these saw
the utterances day by day of many of
the most influential and best American
papers, they would be much less con-
fdent of the surety of the existing
peace"
