England has Steadily contested this position, holding that Behring sea was nota closed sea in any sense of the term; but those of her vessels which have presumed upon the disputed waters for poaching purposes have always run away from the American cruisers, thus casting suspicion on the sincerity of her defiance. The present seizure was made under Presi- dent Harrison’s proclamation of March 22, ‘which cited section 1956 of the Revised Stat- utes, forbidding the killing of any fur-bear- ing animal within the territory or waters of Alaska under penalty of forfeiture of vessels, cargo, and tackle, and fines and imprisonment for the persons engaged in the violation of the Jaw, and warning every one against disregarding this prohibition. It is evident that the officers who made the seizure were convinced that the President's words had areal meaning behind them, and that the prohibition would be en- forced as promised, They were not deterred in their course by fears of another fiasco such as 0c- curred three years ago, when, as maybe re- membered, some British sealers were captured and the federal district judge at Sitka applied the penalties of forfeiture, fines and imprison- ment according to the letter of the law. Sec- retary Bayard held the matter under considera- tion for a time and then ordered the offenders released, the penalties remitted, and a stop put to further proceedings, thereby ostensibly discountenancing the American claim. ‘The theory upon which his action was defended is that we are estopped as a nation from the as- sertion of a claim to exclusive rights anywhere in Behring sea outside of the marine Jeague universally recognized, because, before owning Alaska ourselves, we persistently ignored or denied such rights to Russia, The question for the State department to decide now will bea sweeping one, and in its decision it must be embarrassed by no such precedent, The mere fact that in 1823, when the geography of the Northern Pacific ocean was comparatively unknown, an American minister at St. Peters- burg was instructed to question Russia's rights, is not an argument of sufficient weight to af- fect the present controversy, if the later light thrown upon the whole subject is found to have changed its aspect. Let us have the question settled and closed forevermore. The uncertainty of the last twenty years has been both annoying and expensive, with no com- pensatory benefits to anybody. verdict of many patrons are the best values yet afered in Washington, BUSTLES.—The three latest Paris styles have ar- rived.
