Others Were Acquitted.

City Of Mexico November 22.-The great
trial Of Arroyos murderers Is over, having
terminated this evening with the sentence
Of death pronounced on ten OF the police
officials and policemen concerned in the
butchery OF the hapless wretch. whose au-
dacious attempt on the life Of the president
caused so profound sensation here. The
jury was out over seven hours, returning
its verdict at p. m. and Judge Flores de-
llvered his confirmation verdict at about
o'clock The prisoners stood up and the
gendarmes presented arms during the de-
livery. The court room was crowded to its
utmost capacity for the closing scenes In
the trial, which we're most dramatic

Bellido was sentenced to eleven months
Imprisonment and Cuellar, who bought

The BERINC SEA DISPUTE.
Proposition to suspend PeIaaic Seal
inn for Year.
OFFER MADE BY THE UNITED STATES
wfning to Meet the Canadians Half
Way-Sixteen Thousand seals Are
Annually killed.

Washington. November 22.--one Of the
most important features Of the Boring sea
negotiations, and one not heretofore dis
closed, is that in the event that Great
Britain and Canada consent to suspen-
sion Of pelagic sealing for one year. the
United States at the same time will agree
10 a suspension of all killing Of seals for
one year on the Pribylon islands, con-
stituting the American zeal possessions In
Boring sea. AZ the islands are q part Of
United States territory no question has
ever arisen as to the right Of the United
States to do as It chose to the seals while
on Land and within three miles Of the
island according to the international law.
During the recent negotiations the Can
adians took the ground that II any sus-
pension was to occur 1t would be inequit-
able to ask them to suspend sealing in the
outer waters while at the same time the
Onlteu oldteS peTSiSttu IN Sealing III tue
inner waters and on land. The contention
Of the United States was primarily for the
suspension Of pelagic sealing, but under the
exigency Of the case 1t was felt that II
suspension of pelagic sealing could be Sc
cured it would be reasonable to concede a
similar suspension within our own terri
tory.
The lease Yves made In 1890 for a term or
twenty years. Under thds lease the COM
pany has taken about 10000 seals annually
on the island. The lease stipulated that mot
more than 10000 should be taken in 1891
and also provided that no more seals should
be killed annually than was authorized by
the secretary Of the treasury.
Attorney General Miller gave an opinion
in favor Of the reduction Secretary Olnsy,
when attorney general. gave an opinion
against 1t. BY mutual consent test case
was made UP and is now pending in the
United States supreme court. The lease
provides a rental Of $4,000 a year, also
$762h for each seal skin taken and
shipped.
