WHAT WE MUST PAY.
Fiuding of the Arbitrators in the Matter
Anxiously Awaited.

Washington, August 16.-The regula-
tions of the arbitrators appended to the
Behring Sea decision case are adopted
under article of the treaty of arbitra-
ton. These regulations were based on
an agreement submitted by joint COM
mission appointed by Great Britain and
the United States.
In accordance with article of the con-
vention for the renewal of the modus
vivendi, the decision of the arbltrators
will compel the United States to make
compensation to Great Britain (for the
use of her subjects) for abstaining from
the capture of seals in Behring Sea during
the tendency of the arbitration.
This article reads as follows: IF the
result of the arbitration be to affirm the
right of British sealers to take seals IN
Behring Sea, within the bounds claimed
by the United States, under its purchase
from Russia, then compensation shall be
made by the United States to Great
Britain (for the use of her subjects) for
abstaining from the exercise of that
right during the tendency Of the arbitra-
ton upon the basis of such a regulated
and limited catch or catches as in the
opinion of the arbitrators might have
been taken without an undue diminution
of the seal herds; and, on the other hand,
if the result OF the arbitration shall be
to deny the rights of British sealers to
take seals within the said waters, then
compensation shall be made by Great
Britain to the United States (for itself,
it's citizens and lessees) for the agreement
to limit the island catch to 1900 a season,
upon the basis of the difference between
this number and such larger catch as in
l - %Lan 1ft for, frrtnf n
been taken without an undue dlmlnu-
ton Of the seal herds. The, amount
awarded, if any, in either case, shall be
such as under all the circumstances is
just and equitable, and shall be promptly
paid"
1t will be seen that this article deals
only with damages for the short period
during which the arbitration proceed
ings were being conducted, and does not
touch the question OF damages prior to
that time. Article of the treaty proper
states that the high contracting parties
find themselves unable to agree upon a
reference which shall include the ques-
tion of the liability of each for the in
juries alleged to have been sustained by
that either may submit to the arbitra-
tors any question of fact involved in said
claims and ask for finding thereon, the
question of the liability of either govern
ment upon the facts found to be the sub
ject of Iurther negotiations
Questions of fact, permitted by article
8, were submitted to the tribunal, and
the arbitrator have handed down a
special finding on them with reference to
the seizures of British vessels in Behring
Sea in 1887 and 1889.
Further information is awaited as to
| the nature of this finding, which will
probably afford a clue to the measure Of
damages likely to be assessed the United
| States.

The New Ballot.

The County Commissioners have
received specimen copies of all the
blanks aud tickets that will be re.
quired to hold the Fall election, and
in some respects differ greatly from
the ones used last fall. The correc.
tious are made in accordance with the
amendments TO the Baker ballot law
at the last session Of the Legislature.
The new ticket is now 50 plain that
a blind man could vote it without
making a mistake. 1t is got up on
the same plan as heretofore with the
exception that it only takes one mark
to vote a straight ticket. At the
head of each column representing the
different political parties is a ring.
If a person desires to vote the
straight ticket all he needs to do is to
mark an y within the circle and the
task is at an end Should the
voter want to split he must stay away
from the ring and put an X after the
names of those he wants to vote for.
If there are not enough names in the
three old parties there is still a place
reserved to add others.
The new ticket will not be so large
rs the old one. This is due to the
commission of the residences of the
candidates. 1t is only necessary to
have them on the certificates of nom.
iuation. The old law said that the
Commissioners would send out two
sets of ballots, each of not less than
seventy-fve for every fifty voters.
The law now says that they shall send
out one set. Heretofore the Commits.
sioners only had to furnish the bal.
lots for certain elections. The bal.
lots for the borough and township
elections we're looked after by their
respective Auditors. Now this is all
in the hands of the Commissioners.
The certificates of nomination and
nomination papers for county Offices
must be fled with the County Com.
missioners at least twenty. eight and
twenty.one days respectively before
the time of election, Forty two and
thirty.five we're the number of days
allowed before. The papers for town.
ship and borough offices must be
filed with the Commissioners ten and
seven days respectively before the
election.
