sEALERs HAVE NO CLAIM.
Such Is the Latest Reading of the
Paris Award

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Morgan was asked today for an ex-
preston regarding the report received
from London that Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador, had for
warded to his government full state
ment OF the facts in the matter of the
payment of damages by this govern
ment for the seizure of British vessels,
and replied that he was perfectly will
ing to have the question investigated.
Il have" he said, "such confidence
in the fairness and good judgment of
the British house of commons, that
l feel that nothing can be lost by its
going into the matter at length. / am
very confident that an inquiry into
the merits of the claim, even outside
of the Paris awrd, will convince any
one that the claims are entirely I'M
founded, extortionate and wrong"
There is reason for believing that
when this question of payment of the
damages shall again come before con-
gress, the opponents of payment will
make the point that the claims are
barred from consideration by the
terms of the Paris award. A member
of the senate who was given consider
able attention to the seal question
said, in discussing the proposal to pay
these damage claims: 1.-THE principles
raised by the Bering sea award de-
stroy the claims of Great Britain to
damages for the seizure of any ships
which before the date of the award
were found fishing within sixty miles
of the Pribyloff islands, or in Bering
sea with guns, explosives or nets, or
after the 1st of May to the 1st of
August in the Pacific ocean north of
latitude 50. Both governments are
bound to accept the enunciations made
by the Paris commission as the
measure of their rights and duties on
this subject, as applicable, not merely
since the making of the award, but
before. 1t was the just and equitable
duty of Great Britain before the award
was made, to do just what the award
required of that country towards the
United States" When Senator Nor
gan's attention was called to this view
OF the question, he declined, on ac-
count of his connection with the Paris
tribunal, and with the senate, to dis
cuss It, saying it would be improper
for him at this time to do so.

BIG DITCH NOT THREATENED.
Minister Baker's Interview a
Managua MfsunderstoOd,

ManaGua MisunderstoOd.
ssWASHINGTON, April 1S.-Dr. Guz-
man, the Nicaraguan minister, was
asked today concerning a report that
Nicaragua desired that the present
Nicaragua Canal company should sur
render the concession under which
work has been done thus far, and
that the United States and Nicaragua
should jointly undertake the future
work as a governmental enterprise.
The minister explained that the re-
port was due to misapprehension.
The Nicaraguan government had no
wish, he said, that the company
should surrender its concession. 1t
had every confidence that the COM
pany would push the enterprise with
all possible dispatch. Under these cir
cumstances, DR.. Guzman said, the plan
of joint governmental action was not
a live one, and it was needless to
speculate on a contingency which
Nicaragua did not regard as re-
hiote possibility. The government
wanted to give every facility and en-
!. enlargement ltpI the company, and
. did not want the impression to get
abroad that it considered forfeiture
likely, or even possible. DIR. Guzman
says the misapprehension arose
through crediting to him a statement
which he had communicated to the
state department. as an enclosure.
The statement had been made dur
Ing am interview between the United
States minister at Nicaragua and the
government authorities. 1t was for
warded to DR.. Guzman, and by him
sent to the state department, without
any purpose to indorse the views. It
has since been found that the report
of the interview at Managua was
very defective. Minister Baker was
talkingsin English and understood no
Spanish. The Nicaraguan minister

SCRAMBLE FOR LEASES.
A Lively Contest On for Control OF
the Big sandy Valley.

ASHLAND, KY, April 1S.-There is
a lively fight on in the Upper Big
Sandy valley, over the securing of oil
leases, the principal participants being
Greenlee & Forest, Guffy, & Queen,
Troutman Bros, and the Standard Oil
company. The latter controls about
10000 acres, but recently secured, and
each of the others have 10000.
When cash was not acceptable. an
interest of one-eighth in all profits was
offered. Since the ,late excitement
the Standard agents have been offer
ing one-eighth. They have worked up
a squabble between several of the
large land owners and their rival
companies, and it will be no surprise
to see them soon in almost sole pos.
session of the field.

gram from the New York counsel of
DR.. Buchanan. the uxoricide con-
demned to be electrocuted next Mon
day, asking the ambassadors inter
vention on the ground that DR.. Buch-
anan is a British subject, and has not
been given fair trial according to the
constitution. 1t is understood that
any action by Sir Julian would be
confined to an unofficial suggestion to
Secretary Gresham that the governor
of New York be asked to grant
temporary reprieve, but such sug-
gestion is very unlikely, as the settled
policy of the British officials is to
give full credit to the actions of the
American courts.

CLAIM CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
a New Phase, to the Manitoba
Catholic School Question


ST. LOUIS, April 1S.-Conde b. Pal
ieh' eoltor OF the Church Progress,
catholic paper, believes that mauy of
the newspaper dispatches sent out from
w lnnlpeg, Man., regarding the school
question are unreliable In speaking
Oh the Catholic question now brought
to the front in Manitoba, Editor Pallen
said: When the true story of the
catholic parochial schools of Manitoba
is known, 1t is plainly seen that the
Catholics are only fighting for their
constitutional rights in the present
trouble. The school in Manitoba is not
analogous with the cases in the limited
States. Before Manitoba was admitted
as a province into tho Canadian con-
federation, the vast majority of the
people were Catholics. In other words.
Mahllopa was largely settled by Cath
ollcS. AT the time Manitoba became
province, 1t was expressly stated in
the constitution that 1t should be per-
mltted to run Its Catholic parochiaI
schools at public expense. That is to
say the denominationaI system of edu-
cation prevails in Manitoba. tae same
as In England today The non-sec-
tartan system, as the public school sys-
tenn OF the United States is known
is not found there. Any denomination.
Catholic, Protestant or Jewish, can be
started when the standard of excel
lence reaches the grade required by
law The school is supported out of
the public funds.
At the time Manitoba became e prov
mce' nearly all the denominational
schools We're Catholic, and were sup
ported by the public in general. But
after the country became a province,
the Immigration of Oransemen set in,
and the influx was 50 great that trou-
bic arose over the school question.
The Orangenen are the same in
principle as the A. Z. A. Is of the United
states. They objected to the Catholic
