BAY4RD BLAINE md BEHRING SEA

BAY4RD BLAINE md BEHRING SEA
The United States are fortunately represented
both in and before the Behrng Sea Court of
Arbitration The Americans at Paris under
stand their case. Sir Charles Russell's irrta-
ton at being so often interrupted in the course
of his argument in behalf of the seal poachers
proceeds from the Circumstance that he does
not understand his case. If he did, he would
MT have suggested that Mr. Bayard, when
Secretary of State had never tried TO justify
the seizures on the ground that the United
States had property in the seal. Mr.. Bayad
conducted the Behing Sea controversy, which
first arose during his occupancy of the State
Department, with skill and discretion. lie was
well supported by Mr.. Phelps. now our leading
counsel at Paris, then our Minister at London.
Mr. Phelps was in position to enlighten Sir
Charles Russell concerning the motive and d.
rection Of Mr.. Bayards diplomacy. Seal poach-
ing began in 1888. Prior to that year 10 one
had thought of molesting the seal or of denying
that they were our property. A fortunate ad-
venture of poachers in 1885 led to general
attack on the seal in 1856 and in obedience
to the directions of the Treasury Department
our revenue cutters made about dozen seizures
of British vessels. Great Britain at once pro-
tested. Mr. Bayard, without stopping the sez-
mes delayed answering the British complaint
on the ground that he needed to inquire into
the facts and that Behring sea being remote
much time must pass before he could ascertain
the precise conditions under which the ships had
been taken and condemned Meanwhile. the
object of ouI assertion Of jurisdiction and of
the seizures being simply to protect the SEAL
and pereving that if this end could be at
tanned by an international agreement and with
out the stirring up of strife we should secure
all we required Mr. Bayard instructed our Mn
isteis at London, ST. Petersburg, Toxic. Berlin
and Stockholm to sound the Governments to
which they were accredited on this point.
"Without raising any question:" said Mr..
Bayard in his circular letter to these Minis
ters, as to the exceptional measures which the
peculiar character of the property in question:
his use Of the word property" here of itself
sufficiently answers Sir Challas Russes asser-
tion-" might Justify this Government in TAX
ing. and without reference to any exceptional
marine jurisdiction that might lie claimed for
that end. it is deemed advisable to attain the
desired ends by international corporation" An
immediate response was received from Great
Britain, through Mr.. Phelps asserting to Mr..
Bayard's proposition, and agreeing that between
the dates of April 10 and November ! and be-
tween the degrees of go longitude west and Il 0
longitude east in the Behring Sea there should
be close time against all pelagic sealing. and
Mr.. Phelps reported that Lord Salisbury agreed

A statement made by Assemblyman Rice, Of
Ulster County, shows in an unmistakablc man
ner that Lieutenant Governor Sheehan and
Speaker Suker grossly abused their powers in
order to delay or defeat legislation not to their
liking. It Is well known that they transcribed
their duties many times when in the chair, but
IL now appears that they would on occasion
refuse TO sign bills which had been passed. or
would do so only after long waiting. In this
matter they have no lawful discretion; their
duty as presiding officers is merely clerical-the
formal certifcation that a measure has been
passed. Mr.. Rioe's revelation is especially sig
niic ant because he is Democrat, and cannot
be accused Of giving partisan twist to what
took place under his eye.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Hanging Gardens.

The ''hahging gardens of Babylon"
We're built by Northumberland to crafty
his wife, Amyitis, a native Of Media,
who longed for something in this flat
country to remind her of her mountain
home. They consisted of an artificial
mountain, 400 feet on each side, rising
by successive terraces, to a length which
overtopped the walls of the city. The
terraces themselves were formed of a
succession of piers. the tops of which
were covered by flat stones sixteen feet
long and four feet wide. Upon these
were spread beds of mating; the
thick layer of bitumen, covered with
sheets of lead. Upon this solid pave.
mcnt earth was heaped, some Of the piles
being hollow so as to afford depth fol
the roots of the largest trees. Water
was drawn from the river SO as to irri
gate these gardens which thus presented
to the eye the appearance of mountain
clothed in vcrdure. - New Orleans

4 ROYAL DINNER.

1t is OF served in the grand hall, with
rrs to attend upon the guests. But thu
nance Of the i she's Mc as long, and as
difficult to pronounce. as if printed III
Russian; and Tic tiands taste us good
as if cooked by the most famoHs chf
who ever served king.
In fact, it is a kings dinner to which
we invite you to sit down, though his
ma jcsty's royal robe is very scant at both
ends, and his crown is a tall silk hat
that has once been wcrn hy United
States Senator from the far West. But
such small matters are of 10 account Just
now; we are hungry for our dinners.
But first it must be cooked, and the
cook is no other than our host, the Ia
hitian King of power and dignity.
His first move is to dig ? shallow hole
in the ground. This he fills With hard
and very dry wood, cut or broken irto
small pieces. Over this he places two
dozen or so Of round stones about the
size of tennis balls. Then he lights the
wood and makes a bright fire. While it
is burning he has taken small pieces Of
beef, fowls, ripe and unripe bananas and
the tops of a wild plaut, which some
what resemble asparagus, and made them
up into many separate little packages
wrapped in banana leaves.
In about ten minutes the wood has
burned out, the stones are hot, and the
little packages ere all ready to be laid
between two layers of the hot stones,
which are then quickly covered with
fresh earth so tightly that no steam can
escape.
For about fifteen minutes more we sit
around the little mound thus made, in
silent and attentive gravity. 1t would
not be good manners to pay attention to
anything else while the important process
OF cooking is going on.
Our royal cook knows Just how long to
wait. Then he gravely removes the
earth and stones, SO carefully that the
cooked food is not injured. Each little
package is placed upon fresh banana
leaf, and then with knives, fingers and
and bits Of cocoanut shell, the dainty
morsels are divided and eaten with the
accomplishments OF calabashes full of
cocoanut milk, and cold water from a
beautiful running stream. No better
dinner was ever set before king, or
given by a king American AgricA-
turist.
The fiber of banana stalks is proposed
as substitute for jutc in the manufac-
turc Of wrapping paper. The COM
mcrcial possibilities of such ar industry
are being seriously considered in Nicara-
qua in view Of the partial failure Of the
East Indian jute crop.

The London police have under con
sideration the enforcement Of rule o.
the roadway for pedestrians. In Lon
don, as in all parts of the world, q rule
of keeping to the right is enforced on
on vehicles, but there is no such law
for pedestrians. 1t is in most OF ou1
cities, and in England, declares the
Picayune, a pretty well understood AMI
accepted social rule, and is quite gen.
orally observed, but it has no legal au-
thorlty, and the man who turns to the
left and endeavors to force himself
through an advancing crowd is guilty
Of no legal offense, however seriously
he may discommole other people. In
crowds such as are common in the
streets Of London and New York, and
not unusual on Canal street, declares
our New Orleans contemporary, such
conduct is the occasion of much sari-
GUS confusion and annoyance. Tie
rule of the road is good one, and it
might be enforced by legal sanctions
wherever crowds are congregated.
