WASHINGTON, March 16.-Acting Secre-
tary Wharton was to-day instructed to in
form the British minister that the Presi-
dent desires to know at rs early date as
possible the intention of the British gov
ernment in regard to the proposed renewal
of the modus vivendi of last year for the
preservation bf the seal fisheries, pending a
settlement by arbitration of the question
of the jurisdictional rights of the United
States i'll the Boring sea. The British min
lister was requested to call Lord Salisbury's
attention to Wharton's note of the Sth, in
ssting on the necessity of the modus vi
vendi, with the suggestion that the Presi-
dent would like to have a response as soon
as possible. that he might act understand
ingly in the matter.
The presidents desire for speedy action
is said to be the fact that it is essential he
should know whether Great Britain will CO.
operate in keeping the sealers out of the
Bering Sea, as otherwise the execution of
that duty, falling solely on the United
States, will necessitnte making arrange
