THEBERING SEACLAlM S
Secretary Gresham VIII Make No Further
Effort to Pass the Payment Bill.
He Will Draw Up IL Treaty for an
Arbitration Commission to Ad-
Just the Claims.

Secretary Gresham has decided that he
will make no further effort to induce Con-
gress to pass the bill appropriatng $i25,0oo
to pay damages sustained by British seal
ing vessels seized by our naval ships and
revenue cutters in Bering sea before the
making of the modus yivendi. All the facts
have been laid before Congress, and the
Secretary feels that he has shown, as far
as it lies in his power, that the method he
proposes for the settlement of these claims
is in the interest of economy, and that he
has made good bargain. If the bill fails
now, then he will proceed Immediately to
draw up treaty for submission to the
Senate, creating arbitration commission
to adjust the claims. The United States
will have no other course open than this,
for we should be dishonored among nations
If we failed to carry out the obligations i'm
pc sed upon us by our voluntary act in sub
hitting the sealing question to the Paris
arbitration.
Provisions of the Arbitration Treaty.
1t was provided in the arbitration treaty
that in event the decision to exclusive
rights in Bering sea should be adverse to
the United States then we SHOULD pay dam
ages to the British for the injury they had
sustained through the seizure OF their yes
sells upon what the arbitration declared
ruled out all claims for consequential dam
ages and allowed claims only where the
vessels had actually been seized and where
the crews had been imprisoned. Even on
TINS basis, the claims amounted to nearly
a million dollars. Besides there were about
two score of men, officers and crews, of the
seized vessels who suffered Imprisonment,
and their claims We're compromised for
about S1S,OOJ by the agreement made by
Secretary Gresham.
The Secrctnry's Belief.
The Secretary believes that If all these
claims are submitted to commission for
adjustment the United States will fare
much worse than under the terms of the
pending bill. In the first place, we should
be required to meet the expenses of the
comm. .sson, which are sure to be very
heavy, and aga.n there is reason to fear
that sUcn comm. Ssion will not deal with
Us very ieniently, IN view of the fact that
the balance OF power wall be held by some
foreign representative, as is usual IN ar
bitratIUns.

4 BIG PETITION.
Citizens rGc Action in Order to Pre-
vent u Water Famine.


vent u Water Famine.
When the Senate met at II o'clock this
morning there lay on the desk OF the Vice
President a roll fully a foot in diameter
bound with red tape This was the first
irstalment of the petitions from the citi-
zens of the District praying for the rein
serton in the District bill of the House ap-
preparation of $l25OoO for raising the dam
at Great Falls, in order that the water
supply Of the city might not become de-
ficient.
This roll, which consisted of the coupons
cut from The Star, and signed and sent to
the Office of this paper contained some of
the very best names in the city of Wash
ngton. 1t represented q great amount of
popular feeling on the subject. Nearly all of
the coupons contained remarks of the
signerJ about the deficiency of pressure,
and many of them presented a startling
condition of insufficient water supply. The
petitions had been sent to the Vice PreSi
dent earlier in the day, and he graciously
complied with the request that it be pre-
sentsd to the Senate, fully understanding
the grave importance of the situation.
SO. after the journal had been read, Mr..
Stevenson presented the petition in the
name of the people of the District.
Through a misunderstanding on the part
of the clerk, it was referred to the District
T..
always taken great interest in this mat
ter, and who firmly believes that TO
further time should be wasted in SURVEYS.
but that the dam should be raised at once.
had the petition referred anew to the com
mttee on appropriations, where it proper
ly belonged and so, after passing through
the secretary's office. the petition was
finally laid before the conferees on the
District appropriation bill in the room of
the committee on appropriations of the
Senate.
Meanwhile Mr. Proctor had armed him
self with clippings from The Star relative
to the renewed threat of a water famine
and was quite prepared to make a strong
argument in favor of the House appropria-
ton in case the conference committee
should make report unfavorable to that
item, but during the afternoon word was
passed around that speechmakng would
probably be unnecessary on this subject.
for 1t generally understood that the
conferees had agreed to restore the House
appropriation of $I25,OO0. This announce
ment was greeted on all sides with express
Sions of qualification. So, also was the
nouncement that in the event of the work
on the dam being ordered Gen Casey would
be specifically named in the bill consult
ing engineer. He ret.res in May, and such
legislative action would be necessary to
secure his services

Z Mr.. BOGDANOFF BURIED
Services Over the F m ms of the Late
Russian Secretary.
They Were Conducted by n Priest of
the Greek Church-Interment In
Rock Greek Cemetery.

The remains of Mr.. Pierre Bogdanor.
first secretary of the Russian legation In
this city, were quietly inferred in ROCK
Creek cemetery today. He was buried ac-
cording to the ritual OF the Greek Church.
OF which he was member, the services
being performed by a priest attached 10
the regular church IN New York. Ever!
respect was paid to the deceased by Prince
CantacuZene, the Russian minister, and the
other members OF the legation. Telegraphlc
inquiries were made to the Russian foreign
office to ascertain the wishes of deceased
family as to the disposition OF his remains,
but no reply has been received 1t is sup
posed that it was found impossible to COM
municate with his kindred, all OF whom
are believed to be in the interior OF the
country.
He Was an Orphan.
Mr. Bogdanoff was an orphan and un-
married. His only relatives are three
brothers, whose whereabouts are I'M
known.
The Greek Church denies the sacrament
of Christian burial in the case Of sui
eide unless it is established that the Of
fender was mentally irresponsible for his
act. This fact was clearly established IN
the case of Mr.. Bosdanof by all the cir
cumstances attending his death, and the
Greek priest at New York accordingly con-
sented to ofticiate at his funeral. He came
at the personal request of the Russian
minister who had similarly requested The
attendance of priest from the Greek
church at Wilkesbarre, Pa.
Oak Hill cemetery was originally selected
as the place of interment, but it was found
impossible to secure a suitable lot there,
and Rock Creek cemetery was selected in
stead.
The Services.
The funeral took place at IL o'clock this
morning from the apartments at 1I25 IL
street, lately occupied by the deceased.
There was large attendance Of the diplo-
matte corps and several federal officials
were present. All the members Of the Rus
sian legation including Minister Cantacu-
zene, were present, and every embassy and
legation in the city represented by
more intimate friends accompanied the re-
mains to the cemetery.
The religious services, although simple,
We're very impressive. The principal serv-
ice was at the grave, the service at the
house being very brief. The remains were
encased in an elegant caSket, on the lid of
which was a silver plate, inscribed simply
"P. BoSdanof." There were no honorary
pallbearers. All the arrangements We're of
the simplest character. although no single
detail of respect or consideration was
omitted. 1t was decided that the circum-
stances of the case did not warrant any
display or military demonstration.

PAINFUL accident about daybreak this morn

facturcd in New Jersey.
Representative George b. Fielder of Ne"

which manufactures the knoeller fender.
urged the Commissioners to approve it, but
they replied that before action can be
taken by the board it VIII be necessary to
tave a railroad company make such Re
Guest 1t is understood that the fender viii
be given a trial within the next few days.
Changes Proposed.
The engineer department of the District
Of Columbia has recommended to Gen.
Thomas l.. Casey, in charge of the Congress
sional Library building, a number of
changes in the width of the roadways OF
streets surrounding the library building.
The changes provide that the curb in 1st
street southeast between East Capitol and
& streets be set out six feet, reducing the
roadway to about Al feet. This is desired
it is understood, to accommodate the plans
of the architect for the completion of the
west front of the building.
1t is further proposed that the curb in u
street south between 1st and I'd streets be
set back so to give roadway of at
let st fifty feet, but fifty-siX feet Is pre-
ferred. The former width will require the
curb to be set DacR louf leet, anu Inc iattef
ten feet. This change is desired to accom-
modate travel, which is now concentrated
On 3 street. Most of the travel to and from
the southeast section of the city and the
country beyond it is stated, is over this
street, and, the tracks Of the Washington
ana Georgetown railroad occupying sixteen
feet of the present width. it is becom4n&
crowded, and will be too narrow for the
increasing traffic.
If the proposed changes are acceptable OF
not Objectionable to Gen. Casey. they vii
be ordered by the Commissioners.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
! The Usual Cabinet Meeting Was Held
| Financial Matters Discussed.

The executive, as we'll as the legislative,
branch of the government engaged in the
transaction of public business today. re-
gardless Of the fact that it was a national
holiday of most patriotic character The
backward state of business in Congress
necessarily affects the affairs of the other
branches of the government. All the eX-
ecutive departments were closed today and
all the clerks and employees We're excused,
but the members Of the cabinet found no
respite from their official duties. Most of
them spent the morning hours at their
desks, attended only by their private sec
retarieS.
The Cabinet Meeting.
The regular semi-weekly meeting of the
cabinet was held at the White House to-
day, as usual, and all the members were
promptly in attendance al II o'clock. The
session was devoted almost entirely to the
consideration of congressional matters.
chief among which is the financial ques-
zion. All the principal measures enacted
by the Congress have been acted upon by
the executive, and the interest of the cabi-
net ministers is now centered on the many
important questions still awaiting the ac-
ton of the legislative branch.
Outside of the natural desire for tho
prompt enactment of the regular appro-
priation bills, 1t is said that the President
and his advisers are desrous of favorable
action on the act for the repeal of the
provision of the tariff law imposing dis
eliminating duty on foreign bounty-paid
sugar, and the act appropriating a lump
sum of si25.0oO for the settlement of the
British Bering sea claims. No beneficial
financial legislation is anticipated. and.
according to one authority, the President
will view with pleasure rather than re-
gret the failure of each and all the pend
ing financial measures.
