THE DISPUTES
The Arbitration Committee Is
Hard at Work.
SECRECY Is MAIN
A Sort of a Mutual Admiration Society.
1t Is Supposed That the Boring
Sea Question Is Now Under
Discussion.

Quebec. Aug. 29.-The Americans of the
arbitration commission began their la
bors at 3 o'clock this morning, and b.
themselves i'm joint session have been at
work ali day. The joint session. which
began at IL. lasted until nightfall. AS
usual. when the joint meeting closed this
evening the commissioner reported that
they had gone through a day of very hard
work and that good progress had been
made.
Senator Fairbanks. for the Americans,
and Lord Herschell. for the Canadians.
ave been selected to give out whatever
there may be for the press, but so far
there has been nothing which the COM
mission has considered wise to reveal.
Whenever Lord Herschell is asked by the
newspaper representatives. for a crumb of
news he praises the good nature and
friendly attitude of the Americans. and
whenever Senator Fairbanks is pressed
for Information he praises the friendliness
and hospitality of the Canadians.
But never one word escapes either as to
what takes place behind the closed doors.
The secretaries and experts who are con-
nected with the commission are equally
close-mouthed. One positive statement
was made, however, by Lord Herschel to-
night. He said that IL had been decided
that after the recess the conference would
continue at Quebec. There has been some
talk about transferring the conference to
Washington or ottawa.
When the joint commission meets IL sits
continually from IL o'clock until late in
the afternoon, and its member have their
lunch served them in the parliament
building. During all the sessions s%ecreta-
ries and messengers are kept on the jump
for books and papers concerning the sub
iects under discussion. 1t is known that
books and documents relating TO the Ber-
ing sea sealing question have been much
in evidence I'm the joint meeting to-day
and il is inferred that this important
question has been taken w. Some OF the
Canadian authorities believe that the
commissioners will never get beyond the
sealing question. They argue that last
| winter. when Sir Wilfred Laurier at that
time would not enter into any settlement
Of the Bering sea matters unless the au-
thorities at Washington were willing to
take mp and settle all other disputes, that
the men at Washington were unwilling to
do so. The Canadians maintain that the
attitude Of both Americans and Canadians
is unchanged.
Lord Herschell was asked tonight II
the committee would be able to indicate
what progress had been made or what the
probabilities were of final settlement OF
the question before the recess to be ia
| ken on Friday next. He replied that prob
ably nothing would be given out TO the
public until the work was completed.

Merritt win Go 10 Paris.

Washington. Aug. 29.-It was
this afternoon at the war department.
that General Merritt was TO go to Paris
to give the peace commission the heneht
of his experience in the Philippines. The
original plan had been to send Admiral
Dewey to Paris for this purpose, but this
was changed upon representations from
the admiral that he could be of greater
service at Manila than in Paris. Whether
or not General Merritt will return to the
Philippines has not yet been determined;
that will depend entirely upon the state OF
affairs in the Islands when the peace COM
mission concludes its labors. The choice
OF a route Is left to himself, but II is eN-
pectsd he will be in Paris within % days
at the latest.

DUNCAN HELD.
Must Answer for DespoiIing the Grave of
n Veteran.

Washington. Aug. 29.-Capt. Louis c.
Duncan, surgeon Of the 22d Kansas reg
iment. is held by the sheriff of Fairfax
county, Virginia, to answer an indlct-
ment charging him with Decorating
confederate graves at Bull Run, near
Manassas.
II appears that Or. Duncan was not
sentenced to five years Imprisonment,
as reported from Camp Mead, Pa, but
escaped much more lightly at the hands
Of the military court, there being a lack
Of evidence TO prove that he actually
took part In the despoiling of graves.
He was tried by court martial under
the 6lst and cd general articles of war.
The first charge was unbe-
coming an officer n a gentleman
the specifications being that he wit
messed and participated in the desc
Grating OF the grave OF Major j. t.
Duke Of the 9th Alabama regiment, a
well known confederate officer. DR..
Duncan. however. was acquitted Of any

Duke grave. the evidence proving that
he was not present but i'm camp.
The second charge, under the CID ar
fIrIe Of war. was conduct preiudicial
to good order and discipline TIL
notifications were Cd that he partici-
pated I'm the Dissertation of the grave OF
one HUMPHREYS and 90 failed to eNer-
else his authority "a an officer In order
to stop the d~esecration and putting the
men so engaged under arrest. Under
the first specification. that OF aving
participated in the dissertation, he
was acquitted. but on the second
specification the court found him
guilty.
The finding Of the courtmartial ap-
proved by General Davis was that
Surgeon Duncan be deprived of his

the regimental camp and forfeit half

and that he he reprimanded by the
commanding general.
