THE BERING SEA AWARD.

a cablegram from London yesterday re-

ton would hardly command respect from
both sides, for ito this day Americans have
not carried out the Bering sea award and

Evidently congress has no intention OF
committing an act OF bad faith. 1t believes
that the claims have not been properly au-
dited, and is dislnclined 10 make an appro-
prtstion until they are. Il is merely cir-
ference of opinion between congress and
the late Secretary Gresham as 20 the
amount Great Britain should receive
The only had faith shown is perhaps an
unwiIlingness to take steps hurriedly for
a proper adjustment OF the differences. So
long as II Is generally admitted that s42S,-
90 viii not be paid without further inves-
tigation OF the claims. il would at least
be q graceful thing TO take some action
toward the appointment Of the commission
suggested by Sir Julian Paun1fote. by
which the matter might be finally adjusted.
The Paris tribunal decided nothing az TO
the amount OF damages. The two countries
interested were left 10 attend to that and
there is no denying that the sooner 1t Is
done the better II will be for all parties
concerned.

SEATTLE, SATURDAY, JAN. Is
TOO MANY FEATHERS.

The present city charter does not seem 10
be a very bad instrument II the work OF the
revising commission is to be accepted as
the criterion.
The amendments suggested outside OF the
abolition OF tho commissions are mere
changes. whose operation is far more cum
bersome than the old charter provides: and
the saving 10 be effected by all this tur-
MOL does not amount to a row OF pins.
The saving so far promised is the differ
snee between thirteen members OF the sin
sle council and eighteen members OF the
double council, ut $500 a year. or a total
az $500: or a reduction in taxation 10 the
amount 20 the two-hundredth part OF one
cent? They may cut off another 81 500 OF
the corporation counsers salary, and do
the most unwise thing a city could do. ami
save another two-hundredth part OF one
cent per annum.
They also propose 10 save another 200
cent by cutting down the mayors salary,
which would not hurt anybody: but TO off,
