DERuNG SEA COMMISSION
Arguments Opened I'm Behalf of N.
british mcnt

Halifax. \. -. Aug. 2S.-The Berny
sea commission has resumed its se&
slons. The argument was opened by
Hon. +. Peters on behalf of the Brit.
ish government. The ground taken by
Mr.. Peterson was that the United
States did not seize the property Of the
sealers for its intrinsic value, but 10
prevent the carrying on of the sealing
business by such vessels. This il was
claimed was done in the face of prom
ises given by the United States gov
crnment that n recurrence of the seiZ-
urcS of 1856 would not be repeated.
This promise had not been observed.
He further claimed on behalf Of his
government reimbursement for ali
damages arising from loss by pros.
pective catches. This latter conten-
ton Is strongly disputed by the United
States representatives. Both sides
have cited many on this point.
and the latter part of Mr.. Peterson's
address was wholly taken up in es-
tabliShing this point.

nato's operations and the losses which
their declines represent. 1t. Of course,
takes no account of his early ventures
in diamonds and diamond mines,
which, indeed, were mainly conducted
as private enterprises, and it should be
noted that his remarkable success in
this connection was what in all proba-
bility induced him to make dubious
financial experiments with disastrous
results, and at the same time gave the
public an exaggerated opinion of his
sagacity. Excluding, also. some minor
corporations Of the gold-mining or pro-
noting class. the paper in question fig
ures out that during the years in which
he held his title OF King Of the KAT

The question whether a married
woman living in one state can hold
bank stock in another state was de-
cided in the affirmative by the Maryland
Court of Appeals in the case Of Kerr,
Receiver, VS.. Uric. The court in rem
der;ng Judgment said: The question
presented is whether a married woman
residing in this state is capable Of hold
ing stock in a national bank located
and doing business In the state OF
Texas, and, II SO. whether she is liable
as such stakeholder under the personal
liability provisions of section 5,152 of
the Revised Statutes OF the United
States. Whatever difficulty may sur
round this question, arises, we think,
more from the in which 1t is
presented in this case than from any
other cause. for IT can hardly be sup
posed that at this day. when, by the
law of most all the states. a married
woman may contract as a feme sole in
respect to her separate estate, she Is
without power to subscribe for or be-
come the transferrer of the stock Of a
national bank.

In the last year seventy-two persons
credited as New Workers disappeared,
dropped out of sight more completely
than if the ocean had swallowed them
up; and this seventy-two does not in
clude the real number of people swal-

the humble seek police aid to search
for lost ones. The jewellers behind the
brownstone, as a rule. swallow their
grief in silence and seldom seek the aid
of the police.
