other are to be determined by the ar
bitrators as to questions of fact, but
the liability upon the facts when found
is to be made the subject of further
negotiations outside the present tri-
bunal. In addition, if the result of
the arbitration shall be to affirm the
right of British sealers during the con-
tinuance of the existing modus vivendi
to take seals in the Behring sea within
the bounds claimed by the United
States under its purchase treaty with
Russia, compensation must be made by
the United States to Great Britain for
the latter'S abstinence from the eXer-
else of her rights pending the arbitra-
ton, upon the basis of such a limited
catch as in the opinion of the arbi-
traitors might have been taken without
an undue diminution of the seal herds.
1t, on the contrary, the arbitrators
deny the right of Great Britain to seal
fishing, compensation must be made by
Great Britain to the United States for
loss sustained by the latter and by its
lessees from the Limitation of the catch
OF 1900 during the closed season. A
decision against the United States
would mean an indemnity bill of at
least $500, 900, loss of control of the seal
fisheries In the North Pacific, and hui
initiation in the eyes Of the diplomatic
world.
The American commissioners are con-
fdent of success. They claim that their
arguments and claims are based on
treaties sanctioned and. observed for
many years. When buying Alaska the
United States became the successor Of
Russia and the beneficiary of all treaties
in force at the time of the transfer.
Great Britain will claim that no cation
has the right, inherent or acquired, TO
close an open sea TO foreign commsys,e
and fishing.

In 1864 he was soldier in Gen. Pick

trenched near the james river below
Richmond. The men had been in the
same trenches for almost six months.
The federal lines were SO near that the
soldiers could talk back and forth, and
something like friendly relations were
established Exchange of newspapers
and tobacco was common.
One morning, however, Gen. Pickett
announced that he would give thirty

Three hundred men were in that

none was SO horrible to look on as
those poor wretches. Where the salient

barrel descends with the swiftness of
an arrow and buries half it's length not
ten feet away, while pieces of exploding
shells whiz all about us. The earth is
still trent bling from the explosion
when every gun on the union side
which can be brought to bear opens
fire. From siege gun, and mortar, and
ritied cannon, and tieldpiece, there is
rain of shot, and shell, and grape. The
roar is appalling 1t would seem as if
Lees defenses must be pounded to dust
by the tons of iron.
The troops selected to dash through
the gap are standing in line ten min

an hour has passed before there is an
advance. The lines halt at the great
pit. They seem to be uncertain and
confused. More troops move up. A
few men dash across the pit and are
within the confederate lines, but they
are too few to accomplish anything.
Those in and about the pit are not be-
ing fired on. They have only to move
forward to pierce Lees lines. They
move up-halt-crowd together like
frightened Sheppard the opportunity
is lost. The confederates recover from
their stupor, open fire from right and
left. and now the pit is filled with men
seeking shelter. 1t was pit of death
the longest, deepest, widest grave
ever dug by the hands of war. The
dead in there will be counted and off,
cially reported at over two thousand.
Between the pit and the union lines
they will count twenty-four hundred
inore-strucll down while trying to
regain the shelter of the lines.-Chi-
