cANApA.s SEAL PIRATES.
BerInE Sea Question Discussed by the
Joint High Commission.

Joint High Commission.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The Bering sea
question was the main topic before the
Anglo-American commission to-day. when it
resumed its sessions after several days re-
cess. For the first time the two sides were
prepared to exchange their estimates on the
value of the Canadian sealing fleet, the pur-
pose being to arrive at some fair valuation
and retire the fleet by purchase. The initial
steps in this direction were taken while the
commission was at Quebec, since which
time Capts. H. T. Taylor, in behalf of the
Canadians, and Thayer, in behalf of the
Americans have been making appraisalS of
the fleet. After several weeks at Victoria,
where the sealers rendezvous, Messrs. Tay-
lor and Thayer have arrived here, accom-
panied by Captain Cox, who represented the
sealerS. The two appraisers made their re-
ports to the respective sides and these re-
ports in turn were exchanged by the COM
missioners with a view TO common ground
of agreement. 1t is understood that both ap-
prafsals are considerably below what was
expected and that. instead OF running into
millions, they do not much exceed a half
million Under such circumstances strong
hopes are expressed by members of the
commission that sum may be agreed on
for the buying out of this industry and the
final settlement of this long-pendinS and
VeXatious controversy 1t is said however.
that there is still considerable difference
between the appraisals OF the Canadian and
the American expert, which will have to be
recOnciled before an agreement is possible.
After the joint meeting of the. commission;
a special committee, consisting of Lord
Herschell and Sir Louis Davies, Senator
Fairbanks and ex-Secretary Foster took Up
the Bering-sea estimates. Besides the writ
ten reports Of the appraisers, the latter
were called in person and examined regard
ing the sealing fleet
At the afternoon session it was agreed
that each side would place it's appraiser on
the stand. allowing him to be cross-exam-
ined by the other side as to the justice OF
his appraisal of the sealing fleet. The eX-
aminations proceeded through the day,
Senator Fairbanks cross examining for the
American side and Sir Louis Davis for the
Canadians This will be continued to-mor-
row, and it is hoped thereby that errors
may be detected and a balance struck be-
tween fhe two estimates

steamer in the world, for it's displacement

scale to keep the Baltic open all winter
Beside this vast ice-crusher, the ice-break-
ers of the Canadian lakes. which are able
to crush through four feet of ice, are mere
ly infants. The new Russian boat is pro-
vided with a forward propeller, which is
calculaed to vastly assist in the crushing
process, by disturbing the water under the
ice and depriving ii of support. The stern
of the ice-breaker is cut into a recess into
which the stern of another vessel can be
securely lashed and thus attain the utmost
protection from her powerful consort.
