To Move the Southern Cotton Crop--Con-
ycnient as Currency.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1s-Leading bank
presidents of the city said. when ques-
toned, that in all probability the currency
difficulty in the south would to great
extent be relieved by the adoption in that
section of plan similar to that adopted
by the business men, manufacturers and
Others in Buffalo and its vicinity.
Certified checks for small amounts will
be paid out by the cotton factors and
others, and as they will only be payable
through the clearing houses they will pass
current from hand To hand and be as con-
venient as ordinary currency. AS certified
checks are always passed and are accepted
as cash anywhere there can be no ques-
tion as TO the legality of their issue or use.
only it is not usual, Of course, to ask for
the certihcation Of checks for small
amounts.

Question of the Amount Of Damages
Is Likely to Be Perpiexing One.

WAsHrYGTog, Aug. 1s. : The main
interest officially in the Behring sea de-
cision now centers in the question of
damages that this country will be Obliged
to pay Great Britain for the use of seal
hunting subjects, who were kept out of
Behring sea through the operation of the
modus vivendi or were seized as poachers
prior to an agreement.
In accordance with article V Of the con-
vention of the renewal of the modus vivendi,
the arbitration tribunal, which must de-
eide how much compensation is due Great
Britain from the United States to be
used for British subjects for abstaining
from the exercise Of right to take seals in
Behring sea during the pendency Of the
arbitration, have already passed on the
subject, but their report has not been
made public. So much is definitely set
tied with regard TO the damages this gov
ernment will be obliged to pay and they
must be paid promptly by agreement in
the treaty renewing the modus vivendi.
Claims For Damages.
But the main question of damages for
seizures made is not in so defnitable and
settled condition. Nothing in the arbi-
tration treaty or the convention for re-
newal of the modus viviendi makes pro-
vision for allowing damages to persons
who have been injured through the I'M
lawful seizure of sealing vessels, and it is
stated at the department of state that the
matter must take the course usually fol-
lowed in diplomacy.
Claims againt the United States either
individually or in bulk will be filed by
the owners of the vessels seized.
The United States will enter into CORE
spondehce with the government of Great
Britain with reference to their settlement
II il is seen that settlement as TO the JUS
tice of the claim made and the compensa-
tion to be made can be reached the matter
will proceed through the ordinary diplo-
matte channels.
Basis Of Settlement.
In the event of failure to come to some
basis for settlement without resort to
arbitration. and it is predicted that fail
ure will result, the two governments will
agree to leave the question to the judg-
ment of an unprejudiced tribunal. and TO
this end a claims commission will be ap-
pointed. 1t is therefore to be seen that
some time must elapse before a definite
arrangement will be reached respecting
the course of procedure with reference to
the assessment Of damages.
