DIDN'T PAN OUT
Behring Sea Arbitration Proves
Unsatisfactory.
That lit Destroys Her Seal
Industry.

AuA uS14
WASHINGTON, Eeb- 15.-The sober
second Judgment Of both parties to
the Behring sea arbitration discloses
the fact that the agreement reached
by the arbitra tors is not entirely salts
factory to either the United States or
Great Britain 1t appears, however.
that the dissatisfaction is based rather
upon matters of detail than upon any
objection to the broad principles upon
which the arbitra ton was based
These matters are now the cause Of
some concern to the two nations. and
for months past there has been much
correspondence and many personal in
terviegvs between Secre tary Gresham,
Sir Julian Pauncefote and Minister
Bayard with a view to their adjust
menb.
Senator Morgan who was one of
the arbitrators ia behalf Of the United
States, has also been frequently con
suited by the state department Off
eials in the effort to clear mp certain
cloudy points in the agree ment- one
OF the flaws which Mr.. Gresham is
said to have found in the agreement IS
q failure TO provide penalties for i'm
fraction of its provisions, and as st
would be 0f little avail to capture pei
agile sealing vessels only to have them
turned loose again upon the seal herds
as soon as the case could be brought
before the courts, the secretary is try
ing to have this defect cured
The United States is able to punish
seaIers brought before its courts, but
the Canadian law is defective, and
thus an international agreement is
desirable.
The Canadians also have a cause OF
complaint They appear to have dis
covered at this late date that the
rigid enforcement of the articles of
agreement would destroy their seal
fishing industry They have brought
great pressure to bear upon the Brit
ish foreign office. with the result thaq
Sir nlian PauncefOte is now lab0ring
strennously to mitigate the misfortune
OF the Canadians by securing a consld-
era bic restriction OF the closed zone
around the seal islands. within which
seals may not be taken by vessels, and
a shortening of the closed season,
which now extends from the first of
May until the last of AUGUST.
SeeessarilX some time IS required to
complete the negotiations and. pend
ing their conclusion the British gov
eminent is making an effort to secure
a recall of the modus vivendi under
which opera tiOns in the seal waters
were governed last year.
But this suggestion has further
complicated the subject ais II touches
the RIGHTS under their lease of the
u orth American Commercial company.
Under the modus this company was
permitted to take only 1900 seals iast
year, and was thereby deprived of

Shylocks are now predicting of this
country for the year a yield of $780,
OoO,OOO in gold and yield of $780,
OOO,OOO for the whole world. Even
though there should be such a Weld
it will not bring prosperity. With
our 100000 of people and vast
domain we, should ourselves have
s12O,OOO,O 600 of new money this year.
This would give us no more money
than we had for 100000 of popu-
lation in 1872, the year before silver
was demonetized, as hat year we
had s64, 100000 in silver and gold
In 1892 the amount of gold used in
the arts by the nations of the world
was S75,OOO,OOO. There is probably
no decrease in the use of gold in the
arts. Take s75,OOO,OOO out of the
sloo,OOO,OOO talked of by the Shy
locks and we have only s75,OOO,OOO
of new money left for the use of the
people of all the nations of the earth
not as much by $45,OOO,OO as this
country should have alone in order
to give us the per capita of new
money we had at the time silver was
demonetized. Nobody was then
overloaded with money, nor would
there be any complaint of too much
money now were every ounce of gold

Enterprise: The president in his
veto message of the seignorage bill
exhibits the greatest solicitude lest
the country be forced to silver
recommendation. He has never lost
an opportunity, however, to assist in
placing the country at the mercy of
gold monometallism. The difference
between the two conditions is that
the first would benefit the debtor
and producer, while the latter is SOLE
ly in the interest of the coupon
clipping class. The president can
be always relied upon to stand by
