LONDON, Dec. 23.-Thc Times expresses graft
hcation over the award Of the Behring Sea Claims
Commission, which gives 10 Canadian sealers
whose vessels were seized by the American Gov.
ernment q sum largely In excess of that which
Great Britain was willing to accept in satisfac-
ton OF all claims. The paper says 1t anticipates,
ae IT Is bound In courtesy to do, that Congress
VIII raise no objection to the settlement.
It rebukcs the British critics for thoughtlessly
and unadvisedly insinuating that the United
States was guilty Of bad faith respecting tho
compensation to be paid tho owners OF seized
Canadian vessels. 1t explains that tho Paris Tri.
bunal of Arbitration merely settled the principle
that pelagic sealing was legal. leaving tho
amount Of compensation for future settlement.
Therefore. m as hitherto there had
been no settlement there was no room for any
question Of bad faith.
Discussing the general question, tho Times
contends that the great obstacle Ia the cupidity
OF the American company in coolly proposing
that other nations foreso their pelaglo rights In
order that the company might pocket the re-
bulting gains.

SALOON KEEPERS BURGLAR ALARM
&c wont or at the Right Time and Two
Thieves Were Caught.

pier, who keeps a saloon at 81 Avenue c. which
consisted OF a wire leading from his rooms above
to an apparently full and fresh glass Of beer be.
hind the bar in his saloon. was put to a practical
test yesterday. Burglars have made a number
of hauls recently in the block in which the saloon
Is located. Stoppler, who Is of an inventive ma
ture. worried for his belongings and determined
to guard against burglars. He filled a glass
partly with beer, ond on the top placed q
Christmas tree preparation which looked like
foam. He fastened a fine wire to the glass and
connected the other end with a window leading
from his fiat to the fire escape.
Shortly after noon yesterday. while Stoppler
was serving two customers, the burglar alarm
beer glass toppled over with q quick, sudden Jerk.
Most of the contents hit tho two customers In
the face, and the glass danced all around among
the othcr glasses behind the bar, causing break
age among tho sch oners.
Stoppler did not wait to furnish explanations.
but rushed upstairs and found two men in his
bedroom. They were busily engaged in tying up
q package containing Stoppler's best clothes.
Close on Stoppler's heels were the score of Gus.
toners who were in the place at the time. Tho
burglars were overcome. Detective Peter Carter
Of the Union Market station. who was called
in, arrested them. They gave the names Of
William Moore and John Roherts. Roberts had
q jimmy in his possession. The prisoners were
arraigned later In the Essex Market Court and
held for examination.
