WASHINGTON, March 12-Secretary
Gresham and Sir Julien Paunc6fote, the
British am AMBASSADOR, are having many
long consultations In an effort to arrange
matters SO as to give effect 20 the dndings
of the arbifrations in the bering sea case.
The bill recently Introduced i'm the house
of representative by 1IcCr-ary a5 the
instance of Secretary Gresham. IS but
one step on the road to final settlement
The bill which defines the limits of the
two zones within which seals may be
taken at all, or. only under certain
conditions, applies solely TO vessels SAIL

Further than this. it win be necessary
to negotiate a treaty between the United

the results Of the arbitration and tC this

principal object to be secured from our
point of view is binding agreement as

The two women dared each other to
come on their lots, and made threats as
to what they would do. Mrs Hamilton
couldn't stand that, and finally crossed
the line with an axe and horseshoe in
her hands. The women clinched, and
