BEHRENG SEA ARBITRATION.

The Behring sea arbitration commits
sion has Just effected temporary Or
ganiZation in Paris and adjourned to
March %. The arbltrators are nine in
number, all distinguished jurists, and
are: Two from Italy, two from France,
two from Great Britain, two from the
United States. and one from Sweden.
Justice HARLAN and Senator MORGAN
are our members. Our counsel in the
case are JAMES G. CARTER, of New
York: E. J. PHELPS. of Vermont; IL.
W. BLoDGETT,. of Chicago, and several
of our most profound and astute law
yers, who will supply briefs.
The principal points to be considered
are five in number, and as follows:
l. What exclusive jurisdiction in the
sea now known as the Behring sea, and
what exclusive rights Ill the seal lsh.
erles therein, did Russia assert and
exercise prior and up to the time of the
cession of Alaska to the United States?
9. How far were these claims of
| Jurisdiction as to the seal fisheries rec
ognized and conceded by Great Britain?
8. Was the body of water now knoWn
| as the Behring sea included in the
phrase Pacific ocean," as ussi in the
| treaty of 1925 between Great Britain
ana Russia? and what rights. If any, i'll
| the Behring sea were held and eXclu-
sively exercised by Russia after said
treaty?
4. Did not all the rights of Russia as
| to Jurisdiction and as TO the seal fisher
| les in Behring sea, east of the water
boundary, in the treaty between the
| United States and Russia of the 30th of
March. 1867, pass unimpaired to the
! United STATES under that treaty?
5. Has the United States any right.
| and, If so, what right, OF protection OF
! property in the fur seals freQuentlng
the islands of the United States in
| Behring sea when such seals are found
| outside the ordinary three-mile limit?
Beside these there are two contingent
points which are liable to arise. II the
| commission comes to such conclusion
on the main points that Great Britain
must concur with the United States in
the matter Of protecting the seals, then
the arbitrators must decide the nature
of the regulations for protection. and
over what waters they will extend.
The following article provides for the
liability for injuries:
The high contracting parties having
found themselves unable to agree upon
a reference which shall include the
question of the liability Of each for the
Injuries alleged to have been sustained
by the other, or by its citizens, in con-
nection with the claims presented and
urged by it; and being solicitous that
this subordinate question should not
interrupt or longer delay the submission
and determination of the main ques-
tions, do agree that either may submit
to the arbitrators any question of fact
involved in said claims and ask for a
finding thereon, the question of the la
biity of either government upon the
facts found to be the subject OF further
negotiation.
Our best American lawyers are very
sangulne that the case will be decided
on the FIVE principal points, in which
case we will have won the victory. The
decision must be rendered within one
month from the date of closing the
arguments.

LONDON Telegraph.
Recently an attack was made by
clergyman on clerical boards, and priests
who wear these facial adornmentS were
warned that they were stumbling
block to their congregations. This re-
vealed a state of matters serious enough
III all truth. But worse remained be-
hind. A correspondent in the leading
church paper this week gravely writes:
Il am convinced, after a great deal of
observation, that the clerical mustache,
in particular, has an injurious effect
upon the BRAIN" If this gentleman
be correct the reason OF the deteriora-
ton of the human race, and especially
of parsons, is at once made apparent,
for of late there has developed among
men of all nations, especially clerical
gentlemen, great desire to grow as
formidable muStacheS as nature and
art combined permit. 1t also satiSfac-

ever else may be necessary, sterEly

A MIGHTY HAUL OF FISH.
Told About by an Alaska Salmon
Packer.

Iold About by an Alaska Salmon
Packer.
New York SUM-
A salmon fisher and packer from
Alaska told to fellow patient in a New
York hospital the other day a wonder
tul story of what is perhaps the
greatest single salmon haul on record.
The company to which the narrator be-
longs mas its headquarters at San Fran
cisco, and sends each year to one of
the Alaskan rivers schooner bearing
sixty men, all of whom are busted in
making tin salmon cans during the vOy-
age. The point at which the camp was
made last season is 800 miles from the
nearest postottice. The season lasts from
May 10 October, and the pack of the
company on that particular river was
100000 pound cans.
On the day OF the great salmOn haul
enormous schools of salmon were dis
covered i'll a reach of the river. The
stream was guarded at the three points
with traps, and the fish were driven to-
ward three great nets. The school
was so thick presently that it was
difficult to run a boat through
the enclosed pool. Great fish leaped
out of the water and struck
the oars from the hands of the rOwers.
At length the haul was made, aud at
least $1,000 fish were drawn ashore.
TWo-thirdS OF the fish were liberated, as
it was impossible to cure at once more
than the $4,000 that were saved. The
fish averaged nearly eight pounds each.
The salmon pack of this concern goes
chiefly to Europe, and is sold especially
to British workingmen. The fact that
there is demand for delicacy of this
sort among English mechanics leads the
narrator of this story to believe that the
wOrkingmen of the British isles are
better paid than Americans suppose.
The salmon syndicate OF the North
west, the state of Oregon and the United
States government are all busted i'll en-
couraging the Pacific coast salmon. The
syndicate alone turns loose into the
rivers of Oregon 50,000,000 salmon an
nually, and, as the industrious female
salmon lays 900 eggs TO every pound OF
her weight, the prospect of the fish
seems good.
Throughout the whole Pacific North
west the salmon is about the cheapest
fish going, and is not esteemed deli
cacy. The Alaskan salmon fishermen
still make a mystery of the salmon,
though his habits have been pretty
we'll cleared up by scientific investiga-
ton. According to popular belief, no.
body knows what the salmon feeds
upon. 1t is also firmly held that the
salmon returns to it's. Matching place
but once, at the age of five years, for
the purpose of spawning, and then goes
back to the sea, there to die, OF at all
events never again to visit the river Of
its birth.

THE GRAIN MARKET PROB.
linn

The grain bills in the senate and
house characterize the principles of the
parties from whose Representatives they
come. The Populist measures are an
advance on the lines of the Republican
bills, differing nothing from them save
in the degree in which the state is used
as a cat's-paw. The Republican bills
are in the positive degree Of paternal-
ism; the Populist bills are in the COM
parative and superlative degrees of
more and most paternaf. Both assume
that it is the province of the state to
meddle and regulate and control, and
that the only question Is how far it
shall go.

just how so Democratic an idea cot
into the Republican mead of Senator

but as the better policy. The state has
tried both methods, beginning with an
elective, ami changing to an appolntlve
commission. The results have not es-
tablished the superiority Of the latter
method. Other states have tried the
experiment. Iowa went from the ap-
pointiye to the elective system, and
could not be induced to go back to its
first plan. The law now requires that
at least one of the commissioners shall
be Of the political party opposed to the
party in power. The inevitable result
of this was that the appointing power
felt free to select, and did choose man
from the minority for his competency,
while the selections Of the majority OF
the board have uniformly been due to
partisan pulls, with qualification poor
second. A governor might, if he were
the right kind of man, make up an
ideal board, but this is the weak point
Of the system; it assumes that the gov
ernor is the right sort of man, and he
so rarely is that the exception confirms
the rule.
The appointive system gives to the
wealthy and powerful interests be-
tween which and the people the com
mission is supposed to stand, guarding
the latter, but with justice, a better
chance Of securing their choice than a
party convention affords. A few years
ago, as the term of q commissioner was

had been mentioned as possible ap-
pointee, fell dead. An officer near the

whether it appeared in the garb OF the
Federal, the Wing or the Republican
parties. 1t appears in this scheme OF city
government which would make but one
elective and responsible head, and give
to him the appointment Of all the sub
ordinate officers of the city. 1t removes
them from the people and relieves them
from that sense of responsibility to
them which is to the officer what the
governor is to the engine. The people
may make unwise choice? Granted. Do
governors never? And if mistake is
made by either the people OF the gov
ernor, who bears the mischief of il but
the people in either case? If they must
bear the consequences in any event,
