busterers Have Their own Way.

WASHINGTON, Fob. 25. - The United
States claims in the Bering Sea controver-
sy as they will be laid before the tribunal
of arbitration when IL reassembles in
Paris, March %, are as follows:
That up to the cession OF Alaska to tn
United States, Russia exercised exclusive
right to the seal fisheries In Bering Sea,
and also the right to prevent, by force Il
necessary, any invasion OF such exclusive
right.
to such assertions of exclusive right, is to
be deemed as having assented to the same
That the water now known az Bering
Sea was not included in the phrase "Pa.
citc Ocean" used in the treaty of 1925 be-
tween Great Britain and Russia.
That all the rights and authority OF Rus
sia in respect To seal fisheries in Bering
Sea east OF the water boundary estab-
lished by the treaty OF March 30, 1867.
passed unimpaired TO the United States
under the treaty.
That the United States have such prop.
erty in the Alaska seal herd as to justify
employment by that nation OF means
reasonably necessary TO protect such herd;
and that compensation should be made
TO the United States by Great Britain for
the losses of the United States; and
should be considered that the United
States have not the full property interest
asserted, Great Britain should concur
with the United States in enforcing regu-
lations TO prevent the capture upon the
high seas OF seals belonging to said herd.
The claim for losses will be calculated
on basis Of 10000 seals.

They Have Their Way With the sundry

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 25.-The silver mon
had their own way in the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday with the sundry civil
bill. The conference report, (which was
asked for it, was refused, and 1t was sent
to the committee OF the whole. There it
must take its chances. Under the rules
each amendment is subject TO debate, and
as this bill has sometimes occupied a
month in the House OF Representatives il
will be seen that 1t furnishes an excel
lent weapon to filibusters IL they really are
determined to secure an extra session a.
some think they are.
The indications are that they are very
much In earnest in their announcement OF
the opposition to the bond amendment To
this bill, and that they may be able to
carry out their threats of defeating the
appropriation bill unless that amendment
shall be stricken out.
