RUSSIA AND ENGLAND In CHINA
Ambassador White Speaks Of the Ad.
vantages From this Agreement

Berlin, May 1.-THE correspondent
her of the Associated Press was grant
ed an interview today with the United
States ambassador TO Germany. Mr..
Andrew White.
In reply to a question as 10 what, in
the light of the knowledge he acquired
in his former position as United States
minister to Russia, he thought Of the
Anglo-Russian agreement, regarding
spheres of influence in China, Nj. white
said that it seemed TO him admirable
from every point Of view, because the
peaceful occupation of the two terri
tories in China would be Of great adj
vantage TO the whole world, by pro-
noting peace in h Pacific, with a on
sequent growth Of industry and conn
merce. An apt feature OF the agree
ment. Mr.. White said, was that 1t
gives ~peaceably 10 120, 000, 900 OF Rus
slams, for the first time in history, a
port on the Pacific ocean hat Is open
the year round, which in their own in
terest and in that of all h powers on
the Pacific seaboard, including the
United States, they ought 10 have
Moreover, Mr.. White said, the peace
| full adjustment Of this question will
| hasten the development OF an enormous
trans-Pacific m in which the
| United States will have a full share;
/ and this, Of course, means a vastly in
! creased growth OF many industries.
Mr.. White concluded by saying tha;
when he was IN Russia he knew and
| had official dealings with NJ. Dewitt.
| the Russian minister Of finance, who
! was then by far the strongest man IN
! the, Russian ministry, and his handling
Of financial questions might well be
studied by American statesmen

SEALS PASSING AWAY.
oGcials Repor; 81 Loss of Twenty Per
Cent During the Year.

Attention to the Behring Sea controversy
between the United States and Great Brit
ain has been renewed by the report of
John NJ Morton. the United States agent
on the seal islands. who is here to submit
his report and confer with the authorities.
The essential point OF the report is that
the seal herds have diminished 20 per cent
within the last year.
When the Behring Sea negotiations were
on last year the main contention of the
American authorities was that the herds
were being so diminished by poaching and
come extinct at an early day. Mr.. Nor
toms report of a diminution of 20 per cent
is regarded as fully bearing out the con-
tention, and it is taken also as an indica-
tion of the urgent need OF renewed nego-
tiations for the prevention of pelagic seal
ing.
The sealing question was cne of tho e un-
der negotiation before the Anglo-American
Joint Commission, and a satisfactory ad-
iustment was in sight until the Alaskan
boundary dispute proved an obstruction.
which finally broke off all negotiations and
left the Behring Sea question in abeyance.
The Alaskan controversy also caused the
abandonment of the plan to build warships
on the Great Lakes The British-Canadian
officials Of the Joint High Commission had
agreed to accept this proposition of the
American members, providing that none OF
the war vessels built at lake points be
fitted with armor until it reached salt
water. But the arrangement fell through
