violated the property rights Of their
government. Joined to these were the
anti-Cleveland Democrats, who were
willing to do anything, however reck-
less, to bring humiliation upon the adj
nlinistration. The bill was defeated.
Pelagic sealing continued. England
was invited to joinein further negotia-
tons looking tosthe prevention of open
sea sealing. She declined, and, we must
admit, with justification. Why nego-
tiate further when payment Of dam
ages was thus refused? But a treaty
was negotiated. submitting the whole
question Of damages to a commission,
and the senate ratified it. Judge King
was appointed On the part Of Canada
and Judge Putnam for the United
States. They have been in session for
several months at Victoria and Hall
fax, receiving evidence and hearing the
counsel for the respective countries.
Mr.. Don M. Dickinson represented the
United States, and he speaks very high
ly Of the counsel for Canada. The
question was simply as to the amount
Of the judgment, the liability having
been fixed by the Paris award. Mr..
Dickinson evidently succeeded in hav-
ing rejected the claims for remote or
prospective damages, and the award is
for the sum agreed upon by Gresham
and Salisbury, $425, 900, with interest at
per cent.
damages awarded must be paid within
six months after the award, so this ses-
sion Of congress will be asked to in
clude this sum in it's appropriations.
We trust there will be none Of the
horse-play Of 1894 repeated, but that
the money will be appropriated and the
incident closed. It has lasted long
enough and brought this country moth
ing but humiliation. 1t rose in the at
tempt to fulfill the promises Of wig
orous foreign policy" made during the
Harrison campaign, by utilizing any
chance to twist the British lions tail''
regardless Of justification. 1t ends in
the rejection of every claim made by
us, and, finally, in the aff1rmance Of the
action Of Secretary Gresham in adjust
ing the damages for which this country
Is liable. 1t is, however, a fitting close
to this international farce comedy that
John w. Foster, our international busy
body, should appear before the curtain
to explain that he was absent in Japan
when President Cleveland acted on the
arbitration treaty which has resulted in
this award, which he evidently regards
as excessive, and that, therefore, he
cannot be held responsible for it. If
Mr.. Foster will now go off to China and
busy himself with negotiating a settle
ment of the difficulties between that
country and Germany, and stay there,
the United States will try to forget and
forgive him all the shame he has
brought upon it while trying to save
the interests of his client, the North
American Commercial company.

I know very little about the true"
detective story, and my limited knowl-
edge makes me hesitate from comment
ing upon it. But I presume that what
is evident to me must be equally evil
dent to others. There Is, of course, a
marked difference-that is, the great
difference that must exist between fact
and the fiction that Is acceptable as
fact for the purposes of romance.
The eliminating point in the true"
detective story is the capture Of the
criminal by the astute officer Of the
law. Will they get their man? is the
question. In fiction the interest de-
ponds upon the calculation Of the mys-
terry. It Is the wide difference between
nature and art.
The "reap' detective judges from evil
dences and deductions based upon his
familiarity with the operations Of
known professional criminals. His skill
is largely in proportion to his more or
less close acquaintance with police rec
ords and often depends upon a personal
acquaintance with the criminal.
The daring of the real criminal is
often startling. and the reader is nat
urally interested to know the outcome,

THE LAST CHAPTER OF A SORRY
TALE.

The word comes from Ottawa that
the commission appointed to arbitrate
the amount Of damages to Canadian
sealers by the seizure and conf1scation
Of their vessels and catch by the United
States, under their claim Of exclusive
Bering sea, has fixed the amount at
$464 900. Thus ends another chapter in
the story Of this singular interplay of
all bad motives. the last one let us
hope, which no true American, who
loves his country's honor more than her
unrighteouS gain, can read without a
sense of humiliation. 1t is we'll to re-
view the incidents Of this chapter. The
with England, the dispute relative to
our ownership of seals on the high seas
and the question of methods for their
preservation had been submitted, de-
cided against the claim Of Secretary
Blaine that the right Of property fol-
lowed the seals when they left the
breeding grounds on the Pribyloff ISL
ands for the feeding grounds on the
open sea. This cast the United States
in damages for the seizures of vessels
made under their Illegal claim. The
amount Of these damages the tribunal
left for adjustment between the state
departments of the two countries.
The claims amounted to over a mill
ion dollars, largely made up of loss of
prospective profits, and Secretary
Gresham, rejecting these, made COM
promise offer in 1894 Of $425,OO0, which
was accepted. When the bill came into
the house to appropriate the money to
pay this award there was a tremen-
dous uproar. Morgan, over in the SEN
ate, fairly frothed in his rage at the
shameful surrender by the Cleveland
administration. In the house, Hit,
chairman Of the foreign relations COM
mittee, insisted that the award was
largely composed Of claims laid by
Americans who had put their vessels
under Canadian registration and were
entitled to nothing, because they had
