 Contribution.
 WASHINGTON, April 1. - Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle have been looking into the expenditures of the Behring Sea Arbitration commission, and a statement of the balances on the books of the State Department has been furnished Secretary Carlisle
 These show that of the $200, 900 appro- priated by Congress to detray the expenses of that arbitration a little more than Eali that amount has already been expended. But the payments made include full pay : ment of the allowances to the agent, coun- Sel and arbitrators, and a portion of their expenses; also, the expenditures in connec- ton with the preparation of the case and counter case, collecting evidence, printing, etc.
 Under the arrangements made with the several members of the commission, they are to receive in addition to the allowance for services, or their salaries if they are employees of the government a certain amount for expenses while they are out of the country.
 In the case of the attaches the amount ranges from $6 to $16 day. In the case of the members of the board, the agent and counsel, the amount is to be commensurate with their position and duties
 It is stated that J. Stanley Brown, the husband of Mollie Garfield, is drawing $15 n day as a member of the commission, and at the same time $10 a day as an officer of the Treasury Department in making an in veetig#t"u of seal life. Among others wh" are said to be drawing double pay is Maj. Llijah Halford.
 There is nothing at all illegal in their receiving salary greater than that of a Cabinet officer. All that can be said is that some people get fat offices, and some don't. It is said that some of the many office seekers now in the city are looking with longing on these offices, which seem to he out of their reach
 The government of the United States is chargeable with half the expenses of the court of arbitration. This, with the ex- pense account of the American commission, are about all that remain to be charged to the appropriation made for carrying out the provisions Ofthe treaty of arbitration.
