sHERMANs DISPATCH
CALLS FOR A REPLY FROM MIR.
CHAMBERLAIN
The British Colonial Secretary Makes
an Elaborate Answer and Cites
Some Relevant Cases

LONDON, Sept. 18.-Secretary Of
State for the Colonies Chamberlain, in
long letter from the Colonial Office to
the Foreign Office, signed by Edward
Wingfield. one Of the Under Secretaries
of State, published by the Times today,
dealing with Secretary Sherman's dis
patch to the Marquis of Salisbury on the
Bering Sea controversy, proceeds:
"Mr. Chamberlain cannot let this dis
patch pass unnoticed, because silence
might be construed as an admission tina
the dispatch is unanswerable.
From a perusal Of Sherman's dis
patch, II would be inferred that the pro-
lection and preservation of the fur seal
are identical with the suppression of
pelagic sealing ard consistent
with the attitude the United States has
maintained from the outset. In support
Of its views, the United States departed
from national traditions which earned
universal honor, by efforts which vim
dicated the freedom of the high seas.
The nation which is now Jealous for pro-
hibiting pelagic sealing was in 1882, with
equal zeal, asserting the claim for the
rlgHt OIL HeT clllzeHS Hot only 10 XIII
seals on the high seas, but land and
slaughter them on the shores of friend
ly nation"
Chamberlain elaborates on this point,
relating the incident Of the seizure Of the
sealing vessel Harriet at Buenos Ayres
in 1882. adding: "hTe shores of Pribylof
Islands today are equally uninhabited as
the shores of the Falkland Islands and
Terra del Fuego fifty years ago, but no
British subject ever claimed the right
to land and kill seals there, as the
United States did on the South Atlantic,
under protection of the guns Of the
American man. war"
Chamberlain's letter quotes and an
swers most minutely all the points Of
Sherman's dispatch.

Fair Warning

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1s.-Mayor
Phean has in very pointed way warned
the members of the Board of Education
that they must live up to the letter of
the law in the matter of making appro-
pria tions. He said to Director Waller,
chairman of the Finance Committee:
1--WE have now learned that we can get
justice from the courts, and that men
who violate their pledges and squander
the public funds can be ousted from
office. Having learned this, we propose
to avail ourselves of the opinion to pun
ish those who violate the law"
When asked about the matter last
night, the Mayor said:
IT intend to hold every member Of
every municipal board strictly respon
sible.
THE one-twelfth act has been con-
stantly violated for many years. If
Boards of Education would adhere to
this rule strictly, there would be no de-
ficits such as occur every year."
