Their owners set up claims for damages on the ground that the seizures had been effected beyond the marine boundaries of the territory of the Un s . name three miles from nd. The United States resisted the claims on the ground that Bering sea was, in international iage, a “closed her words, that it was exclu- the jurisdiction of the United States and that the three-mile limit pro- vision of international iaw and the treaties id not affect the case. After much nego- tiation the dispute was referred to arbi- trators, who met in Paris and after a pro- longed session decided, among other things, that the Bering sea was not a closed sea, that the American jurisdiction extended oniy to the three-mile limit and that there- fore the seizures were illegal, and in conse- quence the United States was financially Hable for damages. The principle of jurisdiction having been thus determined it remained for this coun- try to ascertain a method of payment. The claims were palpably exaggerated and could not be accepted and satisfied on their face. President Cleveland proposed to Con- gress that a Compromise payment in lump be made, but Congress refused to assent to this proposition and insisted upon a dif- ferent method of accounting. This action created the erroneous impression that the United States had refused to make repara- tion under the terms of the Paris award and much unfounded criticism of this country’ was heard from English sources. In the course of tim, however, a different pri pie of adjustment was adopted and the claims were referred to a commission. The appropriation of $473,151.26 recently -d by Congress and just paid over to the British ambassador is in settlement of the claims as scaled and determined by this This payment clears the way to a satis- factory solution of the general Bering sea seal controversy, which is entirely distinct in its scientific and practical bearings from the money question that grew out of the Paris award of 1892. ‘The issue at present relates to the preservation of seal life on the Aicutian Islands. American experts ciaim that a continuation of the practice of pelagic or open-sea sealing will surely result in the extermination of the herds. Canadian experts, on the other hand, deny this proposit Yet the fact remains that the herds, under the practices of the seal- "rs, have latterly diminished seriously in numbers and a large and profitable indus- try is in danger of termination. It is to be expected that in the light of recent inter- national deve.opments, with the aid of the teeling of good fellowship that now sur- rounds the two nations, a settlement of this dispute upon an equitable and prac- Ucabie basis wlll speedily be effected. It is too late for enforcement this season, but the time is ripe and the opportunity will be ample for the formulation of inter- national regulations this autumn or win- ter that, enforced coincidental with the opening of the sealing season of 1809, will insure a cessation of the indiscriminate kuliing of the seals, regardless of sex, age or condition. — > e-_____ Currency Reform.

Th.s is based*upon the idea that t House hus Cleared its table, and has noth- ing else to do.

The people want it changed. The republi- can party has premised a change. It has had its hands full of other things, but it is a good time now to enter upon the re- demption of that premise. The tariff out of the wqy. Revenue for the war has been voted. A further move in favor of inter- rational bimetalism cannot of course be made for the present. Why not therefore ake up this purely business and domestic question and settle it? ‘The bill might not, probably would not, get beyond the House at this session. But that would be important _ progre: it Would be put to the Senate’s hand next winter, and thus have a good chance to become a law at the short session.

Eighteen Spaniards, including a lieut<n- ent, Were captured by the American rines in their sortie the other day at Guantanamo. This achiev>ment may pos- sibly hasten the release of Hobson and his companions who are to exchanged. The preliminaries of this eperation are progressing with painful slowness. Tae Madrid authorities have not yot given permission to accept Spanish prisoners in our hands in exchange for the heroes of the Merrimac. But it is not to be anucipated that this customary military courtesy will be withheld entirely. With the Spanish soldiers taken at Guantanamo so near th: scene of the exchange it may be possible to hasten the transaction some- what. Until now the purpose has heen to offer in exchange some of the Spaniards confined at Fort McPherson, which would involve a cousiderabla delay. Hobson and his men deserve a speedy deliverance from sheir restraint. —___ + ee —__ Mr. Joseph Leiter will have some diffi- culty in explaining how he came to lose so much money in a transaction which he so earnestly deciared was not speculation. ——— wee —- Mr. Platt and Mr. Bl have not yet ched a definite conclusion as te which shall be the Caesar and which the Brutus of this oceasion. ———t oo___—.

She ad- vanced to within a short distance of the fertifications and fired three shells from her pneumatic guns, doing apparently heavy damage to the earthworks and ma- senry walls of the batteries. Of course no accurate estimate of the destruction wrought by the high explosives upon the ramparts and guns can be reached at pres- ent, so the true value of this queer craft S an element in a sea fight again’t land batteries is not yet apparent. The condi- tions, however, were apparently favorable to a satisfactory test. Much depends upon the smoothness of the sca. In view of the high trajectory of the shells from these guns relatively slight changes in the angle of the firing base will create a wide diver- sence of resuits. The Vesuvius has in ac- tion much the same quality as a mortar battery, and in this respect requires ex- ceptional steadiness. In view of the ex- treme narrowness of her hull it has never been generally accepted by experts that she would prove of great value in action, for her shape has not been considered as conducive to such steadiness as seemed Tequisite. Thus the reports in detail con- cerning the conditions under which she was fought and theactual work of her three shells will be necessary before her true degree of effectiveness can be established. The firing of the three shells safely from the tubes will serve to allay in large measure thi fears of those who have questioned whether such large charges of high explosives could be prepelled from a gun at.a high rate |, without grave danger of explosions on board ship. It ts, of course, highly desir- able that the Vesuvius should in this ex- perimental bombardment have destroyed the battery at which she aimed, which has hitherto resisted all the efforts of the blockading vessels to damage it, owing to its elevation. It will materially aid in the reduction of Santiago if the Vesuvius can be sent far enough into the channel to throw heavy charges of dynamite among the ships in the harbor and the forces con- centrated in the city. ——_ +2» —____ Ambassador Hay would be justified, after his experience with a pistol-carrying crank, in reminding Mr. Bayard that there is even in England an element which is turbuient and hard to govern. —_-2 e-- —___.

From the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser (May 21). The Charleston has arrived. Transports with troops for Manila will soon be here. Hawaii has become distinctly a part of the American war territory. The need ef these islands as a strategic base is no longer a matter of speculation, but is declared by military and naval judgment during actual hostilities. Hawali willingly accepts this conelvsion. The strange spectacle is presented in the positive declaration by, the commander of the land and naval forces of the United States of the need of these islands as a strategic point, followed by their occupa- tion or use, while on the other hand, the legislative branch of the government still hesitates to promptly accept this judgment even while war is in existence. The exec- utive acts upon facts. The legislature dwells upon a theory. However, as the legislative body realizes the driving force of facts and is confronted with the situation it becomes rapidly edu- cated. Speech may be “silver."” Not silence, but events are “golden.” The calling at this port of the Charleston and the trans- ports is worth a million of documents on annexation and many volumes of Congres- sional Records full of dreary debates. Immediately after the American revolu- tion the new and independent states of America hesitated to adopt a constitution. Spain, holding Louisiana, threatened to bar out the commerce of the west from an out- let by the Mississippi. This threat con- fronted the states with a fact and not a theory. It put before them the immediate and not a remote danger of commerce. They felt the hot breath of an enemy and they acted. Spain, once more perhaps in American history, extends the boundary of the Amer- ican republic. She puts before it the im- mediate need of practical action. She in- voluntarily ws the value of this stra- tegic point. She involuntarily stimulates American expansion. Her illiberal policy in 1780 strongly influenced the consolidation of the Union and did bring the purchase of Louisiana. Her same illiberal policy one hundred years later brings the occupation — Se ines and probably ie ae ara wali, Who says tht Spain | does no “ tad | { @ é SAVE — thelr graduating gowns, Such photos will —— be pleas remi vs of. the happy days at the high school."
