Sim: On receipt of your note of the 8th in- stant, I immediately telegraphed tothe Marquis of Salisbury the substance of its contents in ac- cordance with the request which you expressed on behalf-of the President, and I have now the honor to inform you that I have this day re- geived a reply from his lordship, by telegram, to the following effect: Lord Salisbury again points out that the in- formation in the possession of her majesty’ government does not lead them to believe th: auother year’s suspension of sealing is neces- sary jt Prevent an undue diminution of the teal herds. His lords », however, proceeds to observe that beyond this question it is cons ered by your government that they have a right to be protected from the loss which they may incur from tree sealing being permitted this year, in the event of their claim to Bering sea being upheld by the arbitrators, and he dia int ber majesty’s government do not dispute that after the ratification of the con- vention there will be some foundation for this contention, but he adds that the prohibition of all senling as a remedy has this detect, that the British sealers excluded from Bering sea wouid have an undoubted ground of complaint if th British claim should be upheld by the arbi tratora, Moreover, there is no security that the arbitration will be concluded before the sealing season of 1893. ‘Thus an arbitration be- tween Great britain, the United States and Portugal, which has’ already occupied four years, is still pending. Serious damage would be caused to the industry by » suspension of sealing for a long period. In view of all the abo Peuré to her majesty’ Would be more equitable to provide that seal- ing in Bering sea shall continue on the condi- tion that the owner of every sealing vessel shall give security for satisfying gny damages which the arbitrators may adjud; I shall be glad to learn that the above sug- gestions meet with the concurrence of your government. T have the bonor, &c., JULIAN PaUNceForE. ‘MR, WHARTON'S REPLY. DEPantuent oF State, Wasuxcros, March 22, 1892. : Tam directed by the President to say that your note, dated the 1%h instant and de- livered on the 20th instant (Sunday), has had his immediate attention, iu view of wiat he deems to be the extreme urgency and gravity of the matter under discussion. ‘The urgency grows Out of the fact thut much iu-ther protraction of this discussion will make any modus that may be agreed upon ineffectual to protect the interests of the United States, and will give to tho Canadian sealers practical immunity. by reason of the impossibility ot communicating to them the agreed restrictions. It isnown to this government that the sealers ha their departure to escape notice of a possible modus, and that every day al- most ndds to the fleet that must now be over- hauled at vea. Already forty-seven Canadian 8 Lave cloared for the seuling grounds, us against thirty-one at the same date last year, are engaged in following up and destroy- ing the seal herds. ‘Ihese vessels will, if not stopped and turned back at the passes, go into the Bering sea and pursue to the very shores of our islauds the slaughter of the mother seal seeking accustomed rookeries to ‘be delivered of their young. ‘this is a crime against natur: This government expects to show, if the arbi tration proceeds, that female seals constitute the larger per cent of the catch of the pelagic sealers, iuat, in view of this serious and confident contention of this government, his lordship should assume that auother ycar's suspension of such scaling in not necessary “to prevent an undue diminution of the seal herds.” and should insist that pending an arbitration it shall go on precisely as if no arbitration bad Leen sgreed upon, iv as surpriving as it ia cie- appoiuting. If her majesty’s government so httie respects the claims and contentions of this government as to be unwilling to forbear for a single seaxon to disregard them the Presi- diut cannot understand why Lord Salisbury should have proposed and agreed to give to these claims the dignity and standing which & relerence to a high court of arbitra:ion amphes. From the moment an arbitration was agreed upon neither party was ut liberty to disregard the contentions of the other. sumed thut the sincere purpose of the two governments was to promote peace aud good will, but, if, pending the a:bitration, either deals with the subject of it solely upon the sof its own contention and in utter dixre- considerations it ap- government that it gard of the ciaims of the other, this friendly cud iy rot only not attained, but new seuse of injury .na injustice 18 added, even if it shouid be found possible to proceed with ai arbitration under such conditions. For must not be forgotten that if her majestys government proceeds during this seuling veason upon the basis of its contention as to the rights of the Canadian sealers no choice is lett tu this government but to proceed upon the busis of itscoutident contention that pelagic sealing in the Bering sea 18 au infraction of ite jurigdiction and property rights, His lord- vbip Wil hardly tail to sec" this. Horein, in the opinion of the Pr nt, consists the gravity of the present situauon, and he is not willing to be toand in any degree responsible for the results that may follow the insistence by either government during this season upon the extreme right claimed by it. In his opin- ion it would discredit in the eyes of the world the two great governmeuts involved if the profits of @ single season should be al [owed to thwart o: even todisturb the honorabie aud friendiy adjustment of their differences, which is #0 nearly concluded, but it his lord ship shall adhere to his retusul to unite with us in prompt and effective measures to stop pelagic sealing and shall insist upon free seal- ing lor british subjects, the question, as it affects this government, is no iouger dhe of pecuninry loss or gain, but one of honor and self-respect. i ‘Lhe government, notwithstanding the fact that itsright to take seals upon the Pribylov Islands is undisputed and wholly uninyolved in the arbitration, has pro totake no profit trom the iviand caich, but to limit the taking of seals to the necessities of the natives of those islands, and it cannot consent that, with indemnity or without, the contested rights of Jritish sub- jects to catch seuls in the Bering sea shall be exercised pending the arbitration. ‘The President finds it difficult to believe that Lord Sallsbury is serious in proposing that this government shull take separate bonds from the owners of about 100 Canadian sealing vessels to indemnity it for the injury they may severally mat decline to dicuss avoggestih eck ouly must decline to discuss a wi which on! for Lord Salisbury and his belief that his lordship has a due agpreciation of the grav- ity of this discussion seriousness. “any damages aajudge” fags remem apr the trat jndge Semrieroces reer cats ‘ors and of no value to us. what it Believes to be its rights destroyed it ver impaired. pending their determination by ‘The reference in. ty ineonalstency of her af if ie a8 i 5 &. | H Ff He : f i fe EE It musi be as- | sion, that the modus of last year is the least that this government can accept.

FIGATING IN THE CHESAPEAKK. ‘Tangier Island Oystermen Attack Dredgers and Are Kepulsed. A furious battle occurred on Tuesday after- noon between the oystermen in Chesapeake bay. Several years.ago some persons residing in Accomack county took up a large tract of oyster ground in Pokomoke sound. The oyster- men in the neighboring island of Tangier claimed that the planters had violated the law by taking up a natyraloysterlock. The courts decided against the planters, who, underan act Pasged by the Virginia legislature last winter, proceeded to take up the oysters from their reservation. This greatly enraged the island- ers, who determined to prevent it at all hazards. Early Tuesday morning they manned two eloops with a force numbering about seventy-five men and proceeded to where the dredgers were operating. They found twelve schooners at work and close by was one of the Virginia oyster police boats to protect the dredgers. The commander of the state police boat or- dered the islanders to keep off, and when they disregarded his orders he opened fire on them with his cannon. The isianders were armed ith rifles and soon the firing became genc-al. ‘The dredgers came on deck and fired volley after volley into the islanders, who finally with- drew from the unequal contest. In the engagement Capt. Thomas Diez of Pungoteague, Va., who commanded one of the dredging boats, was killed and several of the islanders received slight wounds. The fight took place in fuli view of Tangier Island and while it was going on the entire population of the island watched its progress, dlany of the women fainted and the children ran screaming along the shore. Great excitement prevailed on the island all ‘Lucsday nigut and scarcely of the inhabitants went to bed. ‘The dredgers and the islanders are both greatly incensed against each other and it is Teared that hostilities will break out afresh. The body of Archer Dies, who was killed by the islanders in the fight, was taken on Mon- day to his home, at Hoffman's Wharf, on Pun- goteague creek, and an inquest was held. The body was buried yesterday. A large crowd attended the funeral and the bitterest feeling was manifested against the islanders. Muny were heard to swear vengeance against them and it was proposed by some to get up an armed expedition and proceed to Tangier and take summary vengeance on the islanders. e dredging fleet of Morse & Co. is now at Crisfield. Had the fleet continned to operate in the disputed oyster grounds the islanders would have renewed the war. The feeling on the island is as bitter as it is around Hoffman's Whart,where the most of the dredgers live. ‘The dredgers have sworn out warrants against a number of the islanders who were engaged in the battle, and early yesterday morning Justice Taylor of Pungoteague and Constable Custis of Onancock, after consulting with Judge Gillet and Commonwealth's Attor- ney Fletcher, proceeded to Tangier Island to arrest and try the persons against whom the warrants had been issued. A report that the islanders who had partici- ted in the fight would be taken to Hotfman’s junef for trial prevailed on ‘Langier and cre- ated intense excitement there. ‘the islanders swore that they would not be taken there, as they feared violence at the hands of the ‘in- furiated dredgers and their friends. While they expressed willingness to go tu Onancock for trial, yet they said they would dic before they would be taken out of their district to Pungoteague, where the drodgers live. Itis known that the worst fecling bas pre- vailed during the entire season between Capt. Read of the Virginia oyster police force and the islanders, and on several occasions colli- sions have been itaminent between them. The isiauders charge that Capt. Kehd has cursed and abused them on every occasion, and it is said that be has not dared for some time past to land on the island without a strong guard of armed men at his back. The conflict of Tues- duy is looked upon as only the beginning of greater troubles in the future, unless the stuie authorities intervene to arrest what now threatens to be an oyster war in dead earnest. ras edie ee MAY SEIZE SAN QUENTIN. Britain's Scheme for a Coaling Station in Lower California, The threatened trouble with Great Britain over Bering sea, says a San Francisco special to the New York Worid, makes interesting the rev- elation of Charles E. Anthony, a civil engineer, who recently reached San Diego from Lower California. Anthony claims to have proof of a plan.of the English government to seize the harbor of San Quentin, Lower California, for a coaling station, and he gives new facts in re- gard to tho schome, which may yet be carried out. “All the railroad building and irrigation works planned by the Merxicun *International Company,” he says, “are simply @ blind to cover the plans of the English government to years ago the British war ships P! t and Warspite were lying off San Quentin, on the jorizon, for ® Tron the beights. beck GC the town thetine American filibusters had arrived.
