Treaty for the Settlement of Behrlng Sea
Fisheries Considered.
SENATE EXECUTIVE SESSION.

Fisheries Considered
Washington, April 8.-The executive
session of the senate this afternoon was
bl4ef, and, besides few combinations,
was devoted to the reception of report
from Mr.. Sherman, chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations on the treaty
now before the senate relating to the ap-.
pointment of a committee for the assess
ment of damages growing out of the seiz-
ures of Canadian vessels for violations
of the regulations regulating the Behring
sea fur seal fisheries. Mr.. Sherman re-
ported a few amendments, which were
ordered printed. The treaty will be ta-
ken up in a few days. Objections were
made to it's consideration this afternoon
on account of the Illness of Senator Nor
gan, although Mr.. Sherman stated that
the state department was very anxious
to have the matter disposed of. The
amendments reported are only verbal
and will not change the text of the
treaty in any material manner. The adj
dition of the four vessels not included in
the statement of facts submitted to the
Paris tribunal, and which were thrown
out by the committee, have been permit
ted to stand. Therword award" as used
in the treaty, has, however, been expur-
gated for the reason that the committee
does not agree with the claim of the
British ambassador that the Paris tri-
bunal made any award In connection
with the matter. On the contrary, they
contend that the question of damages
was not before the tribunal and that the
high court of arbitration expressly de-
clined to consider any question relating
to damages. Believing that the word
award" If admitted to stand, would
therefore lead to confusion, the commit
tee has reported in favor of striking it
out and changing the text relating to
the statement of facts, so as to read "as
follows" by the Paris tribunal instead
of "as follows by the award of the Pa
ris tribunal, etc.
The only other amendment of conse-
quence is one that provides that the
committee may sit in Vancouver or San
Francisco, the original draft of the con-
vention stipulating that the sessions
should all be held in Vancouver. Should
the Illness of Mr.. Morgan who, it may
be stated, is antagonistic to any teeaty
be prolonged, 1t is believed that the mat
ter. Will be taken up and disposed Of for
the state department has been urging
speedy action owing to the presence in
Washington of Sir Stafford Northcote,
who is understood to he the English
member of the commission to be author
lied by the treaty. The season for seal
ing is so far advanced that there Is Also
an additional reason why the matter
should be disposed of at the earliest OPP
portunity, and it is probable that the
disputed subject may be finally disposed
of next week.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH OUR JoE7

We want hero, not for song
Or story, but hero strong
To head us in our civic strife,
That every man in all our clan
May feel he's parcel of this life
For good or evil, as he acts
When civic issues most perplex.
One quite above corruption's reach,
Who'll throw himself into the breach.
Come veal come woe, and do his part
With all his mind and soul and heart,
By calumny or praise unmoved
From paths convictions have approved.
A man magnetic, simple, bold,
The heart-strings of the folks to hold.
A wondrous hero, say you pard,
| own to find him 1t is hard,
| have him in my minds eye, though
Pray, what's the matter with our Joe?
A man of stainless character
In public as in private life,
And every man in all our clan
Knows his adherence of all strife.
He is sturdy, hardy knight,
Resourceful, steady, patient, white,
In times of turbulence still cool;
And tempted-neither knave nor fool
Self-sacrifice has been his badge
From youths high noon to ages prime,
And every man in all our clan
Has found him dauntless all the time.
He's built Just fork governor,
I'd give it him without demur,
But l am but an humble bard,
With but one vote-its mighty nara,
But thousands think with me, you know.
| hope you're one of them, old pard-
Nothings the matter with our joe
We want a statesman for our chief,
A man to open methods true,
That every man in all our clan
Can prophesy just what he'll do.
A simon pure, clean democrat,
sand in his gizzard" and all That;
With principles, whose warp and Woor
Are so well woven in behoof
Of right and justice, we behold
In such finished cloth of gold
None of your gauzy, flimsy stuff,
Unfit for wear or weather rough;
Made for time-serving, fraud and show;
Now. tell me true, in this regard,
Since men who reach this STANDARD, paru'
Are not high numbered-if you know.
What is the matter with our JoeE
All 1 can say, he seems to me,
To suit the occasion to a IT.
Strange and perplexing issues seem
Once solid ranks to disunite
And every man in all our clan
Who touches them gets muddled quite.
We mix them and they mix US TIL
The tangle gets beyond our Skill

So folks the head and tail may see;
If worked at by a skillful hand
each issue singly, strand by strand,
And fixed for use when needed-thus

To cut our partys Gordian KNOT,
