States this morning. These claims arose
through the seizure by the United States
revenue cutters and naval vessels, detailed
for the purpose of patrolling the Behring
sea, of number of small schooners hailing
from British Columbia, that had been en-
gagged in sealing. BY so doing they had vi
plated the law of the United States, but
when the whole general subject was con-
sidered at the Paris arbitration 1t was de-
cided as an incident that the United States
had, at the time the seizures were made,
no exclusive jurisdiction over the waters
of Behring sea outside of three-mile limit
and that consequently the owners Of tle
vessels were entitled to compensation FOR
the losses they had sustained. The seizures
occurred ALL in one year, for In the follow
ing year the United States and Great Brit
ain had arranged modus vivendi which
practically excluded sealing vessels from
the waters of Behrng sea during the time
when the seals are breeding. The damages
awarded by the joint commission, to which
the United States was a party, were consid-
erably less than the aggregation OF the
laims of the owners of sealing vessels. but
the amount was still in excess OF the figures
" mich Secretary Gresham had arranged to
ay for the damage done had congress con-
scented at that time.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.-Orders have

King, who will command the expedition, or
General Merritt himself, should he decide
to go with these vessels.
The steamers Progresso and Willamette
have been examined and may be taken. II
they are not secured the force of men under
General King may not exceed 5000, owing to
the limited capacity Of the steamers en-
gagged. Seven transports have already
sailed and only 5000 men are yet on their way
to Manila. 1t will require nearly twenty
more troop ships to convey the $4,000 more
soldiers necessary to make up the 20, 900 men
which is given out as the number which
will occupy the Philippines.
If the deal with the British Northern Pa

way will be opened for the engaging of more

The original measure.
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1898-04-08

The influence of the woman vote
in the coming election will depend
entirely upon effective organiza-
ton. We apprehend that the
women will act almost as unite
against objectionable candidates.
The best guard toward clean
ticket is the vote at the primaries.
A strong vote at the primaries is a
frst-class sign OF political intelli-
gence. Since the Australian ballot
system the frauds that were per-
petuated in the general election
have been prevented in great
measure. But the same safe guards
have not been placed about the
vote at the primaries and the pro-
fessional wire puller stocks the con-
ventions and burdens the party
with an Objectionable candidate or
the people with an unworthy Off
cial. The first great work of Off
cial reform must begin with guard
ing the vote at party primaries.

The pOpoCrlts declare against

Is that plutocracy hourishes more

Governor Stone, of Missouri, who

crat owns from ten to a hundred

poems at exceedingly low wages
and fattens like leech upon the

Every dollar OF our silver coinage

Mexico's free silver dollars are
