CLAIMS AGAINST CLAIMS.
Questions Between United States and
England Will Be Adjusted.

Washington, May 25.-Secretary Of
state Root is having made a careful
study of the respective claims of Eng
land against America, and America
against England with a view to n mu-
tual adjustment if that is possible. AS
he told the Senate committee on for
eign affairs last Wednesday, he believes
that without resOrting to the cumber-
some machinery of a joint high COM
mission or even framing a treaty which
would have to be urged through the
Senate the matter might be arranged
at direct negotiation and d balance
struck and paid in cash by the party
found to have the better Of the claims.
Because the executive has no conStl-
tution3l lower to bind the legislativ"
branch of our government. which alone
can appropriate the money necessary
to meet and pay of an adverse balance
il is proba BILE that the agreement be-
tween the negotiatorS must provide
that the judgements reached shall be
subject to the approval Of the Congress
here aud Of parliament in England.
The obstacle in the way of COM
paratively easy agreement upon pro-
gran, OF negotiation of these claims is
the famous Frederick Gearing case.
This American fishing vessel was sciZ-
ed number of years ago in Cana
dian port for alleged violation of the
fishing laws and in spite of a vigorous
protest by this government was con-
demned and sold and no restitution was
made to the owners. The New Eng
land senators still feel what they de-
clare to have been the justice of this
procedure and are firm in their con-
tention that no agreement shall be
made for the settlement of claims of
America against Great Britain that
does not provide first of all for the adj
justment of this claim. The British
government, however, asserts the mat
ter is Res Adjudicata; that the case
was tried out thoroughly in the Cana
dian courts and that no negotiations
can succeed if they are to revert to
what they term dead issues.
