SEALING CLAIMS
Making Some Progress Toward an
Ultimate Settlement

BOSTON, Dec. 20.-After a week of
conference in Boston, Justices Putnam
and King, the commissioners for the
United States and Canada, respectively.
in the arbitration OF the Bering sea
claims, have completed their work for
the present and 1t Is understood will soon
begin the preparation Of their reports to
their respective governments.
The commissioners have been holding
daily sessions in this city. during which
they have gone over the disputed claims
step by step, reviewing the evidence as
in the case of law court. 1t Is under
stood that an agreement as to the
amount Of the indemnity claimed has
been reached in all but few cases, and
these are likely to be settled without the
appointment of an umpire, which is pro-
vided for in the convention authorizing
the commission.
The amount awarded to Great Britain
is to be paid within six months of the
time when the final decision Is reached,
whether 1t is made by the commissioners
or by the umpire. 1t is not known what
claims have been ruled out, but it is
understood that the total approved
claims will amount to more than
$1,0O0,000.

THE PORT ARTHUR SEIZURE
SIMPLY A COURTESY GRANTED
BY CHINA

Associated Press Special Wire
NEW YORK, Dec. 2O-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Minister
Wu Ting Fang, the diplomatic repre-
sentative Of China in this country, ex-
pressed the belief that the reported oc-
cupatlon Of Port Arthur by Russian
squadron would prove to be but tenn
porary convenience to the Cars fleet,
granted by the Pekin government. He
said the Russian squadron in Asiatic
waters was granted permission last year
to winter at Kiao Chau, and the Russian
ships remained there during the winter,
but as soon as warm weather set in they
resumed their maneuvers in the Pacific
Ocean.
For the convenience of the Russian
officers the Chinese government sent in
terpreters to Kiao Chau and made every
effort to make them comfortable.
In view of the German occupancy Of
Kiao Chau, 1t was impossible to permit
Russian ships to return to that port.
and the Minister therefore believes the
Russian Admiral asked and received
The herald., 1897-12-21

permission to winter his ships at Port
Arthur. 1t is impossible for Russian
vessels to anchor at Vladivostock dur
Ing the winter owing to the ice.
The Minister also stated that 1t was
his opinion that the Germans would
eventually withdraw from Kiao Chau.
The policy which Germany is pursu-
ing in the Pacific is matter of much
speculation in Washington. 1t is gener-
ally believed that the Emperor has
simply been Influenced by his desire to
secure the passage by the Reichstag Of
the bill to increase the German navy. IT
was said at the Navy Department that
Germany Is expending $4,000, 900 durint;
the year 1897-98 for vessels under con.
struction. One battleship and two gum
boats have been authorized, but the
work has not yet been commenced upon
them.
The vessels under construction include
two first-class battleships. one armored
cruiser. five protected cruisers, one tor
pedo boat destroyer and eight torpedo
boats.
The report that Germany proposes to
seize Hawaii and Samoa is regarded as
ridiculous by administration officials.
Germany has little interest as compared
with other nations in the Hawaiian ISL
ands. 1t Is admitted that her interest in
Samoa is large. The last administration
was willing to denounce the treaty Of
June IA, 1889, between the United States.
Great Britain and Germany, Mr.. Olney
informing the German Ambassador here
that "the treaty is unsatisfactory to the
United States, and is one which it is to
it's interest to be essentially modified or
altogether abrogated."
President Mckinley proposes that the
United States shall retain it's grip on
Samoa, and will agree to no proposition

THE POLISH SECEDERS
START AN AMERICAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH
The New Church Is Not Recognized
by the Pope, But Expects to
Become Great

CHICAGO, Dec. s0.-The Times-Her
aid says: Polish Catholic seceders from
the Roman Church, who have organized
the Independent Polish Catholic Church
of America" with three churches To-
Gated in Chicago. received Bishop An
thony Kozlowski. leader of the revolt, as
the spiritual head Of the church in Amer
leu, Sunday, with impressive rites. The
new prelntc has just returned from Eu-
rope, where he went by appointment of
his people to receive ordination as
Bishop. AS he could not secure recoy-
milton from the Holy See. and was con-
secrated by Bishop Of the Catholic
Christian Church Of Switzerland, there
is said to be doubt as to the welcome
awaiting him. This proved to be un-
founded. The priests Of the parish re-
ceived him with open arms and great en-
thusiasm at his course of action.
BY this act new sect Is formally es-
tablished In America which occupies the
anomalous position Of recognizing the
Roman pontlff as primate of the Occi-
dent, OF subscribing to the Roman Cath
olic faith as based on the foundation of
the apostles. the Scriptures of the Old
and New Testamerts, the traditions OF
the efathers, the Athanasian creed and the
Council of Trent, except such DEGREES as
touch upon the Roman Jurisdiction and
hierarchy-all these. yet affirming as
complete liberty in local self-govern-
ment. as to the investment of property
titles in the local parish organiza tions.
The priesthood of the new churchhood
speak Of the movement as the american
Reformation" and predict that it will
rapidly absorb most of the Polish Amer
lean Catholics into it's fellowship.
About 1900 communicates are
claimed by the three parishes in Chi
cago, after but four years existence.
The movement has spread into a dozen
other cities. Bishop Kozlowski now
stands at the head OF this sect in Amer
lea. Because of its significance the pre-
late's return to the people whom he had
led into the Independent movement
yesterday was celebrated as both pa
triotic and religious holiday, by many
thousands of Poles in this city. After
solemn high mass had been celebrated
Bishop Kozlowski made q report Of his
mission to Switzerland for consideration
He produced the document attesting his
ordination, which was read in Latin by

ANXIOUS FOR PEACE
NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-A letter writ
ten by one of the foremost diplomats in
Spain, and one, moreover In the entire
confidence Of the government and con-
sequently in a position to speak offi-
cially, destroys some Of the arguments
that have been used time after time dur
ing the past few days by those in oppo-
sition to the Liberal ministry, says the
Madrid correspondent OF the Herald.
Speaking for this ministry, the writer
points out irrefutably that Mr. Nc
Kinley's message cannot be construed
as attacking the honor Of the Spanish
army, as General Weyler and his friends
would like to make the public believe.
In the second place General Weyler was
not recalled under pressure from the
United States, as by the express wish of
the Queen Regent his recall had been
decided upon during the late Premier
Canovas' lifetime. In the third place,
the nation as a whole appears to be
more stror gly in favor of the govern
ment than has been the case in Spain
for a long time. Every one is eager to
have done with the Cuban question. At
this very moment the city Is decorated
and illuminated as sign of rejoicing
over the establishment of peace in the
Philippines, while on every hand you
hear wishes that the next bit Of good
news may be Of lasting peace in Cuba.
THE OTHER SIDE
MADRID, Dec 20. = The Nacional
prints today double-leaded article to
the effect that the principal mission in
life of General Weyler at the present
moment Is to defend the army and his
command in Cuba against the insults"
alleged to have been contained in Presi-
dent MeKirley's message, and that he
will energetically protest to the Minister
of War, General Correa, and to the
Queen Regent against these insults.
NOBODY TORTURED
LONDON, Dec. 2O.-According to
dispatch to the Daily Mail from Madrid
| the Spanish government has issued
semi official notice stating that the Of
| fetal investigation disproves the al
| legged torture of anarchists at Mont
Juich fortress and that there is no
ground for a revision of sentences.
| Official dispatches from Havana con-
firm the report of the execution of Lieu
tenant Colonel Ruiz. The queen regent
has cabled an expression of sympathy
to the family of the dead officer.
