Mg, BLAINE 15 reported as doubtful whether he would care to contest the field again with Mr. Cleveland in 1888, ‘The republican varty is beginning to be doubtful whether they would care to have him. A REPORT is current that a son of the Prince of Wales is engaged to Miss Jen- nie Chamberlain, of Cleveland. This is the first intimation the public has re- caryed that Miss Chamberlain is about to enter the theatrical profession. Tre report that ex-Governor Kirk- wood, who is the republican candi for congress in the Second district of Towa, is stendily gaining ground, is gratifying. But he has a very lurge job on hand in the effort to overcome a democratic majority of 6,000, Bisyarck is not above nepotism. He has made excellent provision for his son, Count Herbert, in the diplomatic service. It must be conceded, however, that Herbert is an uncommonly clever fellow, and owes his honors quite as much to personal merit as to paternal favor. ‘Wiuar is to become of Mr. Manning is still an undeterminea and mteresting question. It would be very easily and promptly decided were he simply s clerk in the treasury incapacitated by sickness for discharging his duties. In that case he would be unceremoniously bounced. Veny little effort is required to fan the embers of riotin Belfast into a flame. A street fight on Sunday led to an outbreak which resulted in the wounding of twenty poeople from bullets fired by the police. In this case over-zeal on the part of the authoritics was probably at fault, but the occurrence serves to show the quick sus- eeptibility of the popular temper to the least oxciting influence, and that there 1s avoleunic undercurrent from which an eruption is possible at any time, Tuese is undoi btedly no substantial foundation for the report that the son of the prince of Wales contemplates a matri- monial alliance with the Cleveland belle, Miss Jennie Chamberlain, who for sev- eral seasons has been one of th reigning beauties 1n London, and who is now sojourning in Scotland. The lady has only her presonal charms, which are somewhat exaggerated, and » nich nuele, who might not be over- genorous in the matter of dowry, to com wend her to royalty, and it may be doubted whether these modest appurten- snces would satisfy the young man’s grandnother, who will omething o say, and who has shown, as in the case of body who has the lubel of royalt; that the lahel is indispensable.

This picce of news is in contra- diction of the generally accepted de- ision of the administration to leave the mission to Vienna vacant during the re- mainder of Mr. Cleveland’s term. The public has accepted for some time, as the correct view of the differences between our governmeat and Austiin, the alleged discourtesy on the part of the latter in the Keiley matter. Soon after the rejection of Mr. Keiley by the Austrian court, Count Kalnoky, the Austrian prime minister, rec: ron Schaefler, the representative of that coun- try at Washington. It is now asserted by those who are in position to know, that the real cause of the trouble wa retary Bayard certain instructions he had received from Count Kalnoky. He did this for Mr. Bayard's personal information. In return for this kindness the secretary violated the confidence placed ~in~ him by Baron Schaefler, and embodied this in- formation in his oflicial dispaiches to the Austrian government, which were pub- lished. Kulnoky, exasperated at the publieity given to his orders, at once re- led Baron Schaeffer, and at the same time told the secretary of state ve plainly his opinion of the blund plomatic methods of the admin "This open slap 1 the face of Mr, Bayard he has resented by refusing to take any steps to fill the vacancy at Vienna. Whether the story be true or not, it is quite of a pieco with the remainder of Bayard's blundering diplomatic perform- ances. The “Delaware statesman” has been a bull in the state office china shop and the smashing of dinlomatic erockery and the precedents of ordinary business transactions has been mortifying to the American nation ever:since he assumed charge. The BehringiSea Seizures, Secratary Bayard having expressed the opinion that the seizures of the Canadian schooners engaged m seul fishing in Behring sen are likely to raise an issue which wiil lead toalively diplomatic con- troversy, and in the same connection hay- ing suggested or implied a doubt as to whether the claim of the United Stutes to the supreme control of that sea wouid be allowed or ean be maintained, it becomes interesting to know the basis of the elaim, now for the first time brought into con- troversy. Alaska was purchused by the United States in 1867, and while it was a Russian possession there had never been a ques- tion regarding the absolute jurisdiction of that government over the entire waters of Behring sea. When the purchase w made the fur trade was regarded as the mterest of first importanc Indeed, until the mineral resources of the country were discovered, a number of years afterward, the fur trade was thought to be the only source from which the government could expeet any return for its outlay of seven million dollars as pur money. The Aleutian islands and adjacent waters, as the breeding and hunting grounds for the seal, were, ther fore, at the time deemed the most able parts of the acquisition, H United States government was have the rights ceded by Russia terri- torially described in the most cxact und explicit manner, { The convention by which Alaska w conveyed to the United States follows in its description the western line .of de- limitation, which starts at a powmt in Bebring Straits on the parallel of 65 de- grees 80 minutes north latitude and ex- tends north to the Arctic ocean, runs southwest from the same point through the straits and sea of Behring to the me- ridian of 172 degrees west longitude, und thenee continues southwast, passing mid way between the Attou and Copper islands, so as to include the whole of the Alentian of that meridian A reference to the map will enable the reader to readily delin-ate the course islands east ] | | of | these lines, from which they will be seen || toembr nearly t When the ce no qu right of Russiato ma be taken e who'le of Behring wis made there n from any source us to and as a virtual acknowl I'he government evidently ne ver ion this fact is to edgment of her it of the United Sta on | tertarned a doubt that its jurisdiction was enacted that . mink complete having “no person shall kill any ot marten, sable, fur, seal, or other nal within the or in the watc ribing severe penalties for vl further that “all ves sels, their tackle, apparel, furniture and eargo, found ¢ ed in violation of this ction, shall be forfeited,” but providing that “thesecretary 5f the treasury shall have power to authorize the killing of such mink, marten, sable, or other fur bearing animal, except fur seal, under such regalations as he may prescribe; and it shall be the duty of the s 3 to prevent the killing of any fur seals and to provide for the execution of the pro- visions of thissection until itis otherwise provided by law; nor shall he grant any al privileges under this section.” The of this law and its pre- valence until now attests the view wh this government has held for ne twenty y rding its rights Alaskan waters, and it remains to be seen whether the English government, having made no objection to the transfer of jurisdiction by Russia and never Lavi questioned it since, will now, to g the pique and malice of Can ly attempt to disparage the claim of the United States to th exclusive and supreme control of thi ,a right that 18 indispensable to the protection of a most valuable interest. As yot the mat- ter has not reached the state department in an ofticial or diplomatic form, but in the present temper of the Canadian gov- ernment toward the United States, there can be no doubt thatit will v 11 pos sible huste in bringing the subject to the attention of the home government and insisting that it shall take cognizance of it.

Out of the ten millions which the government offered to redeem between® the end of August and the middle of Sep- tember, only 18,000 were presented for eancellation. The compuisory eall of Inst week will withdraw §15,000,000 addi- tional by the 16th of October, leaving after that date only about £100,000,000 of the 8 per cents to be colled. Including the last call, the amount of bonds called within the fiscal year, beginning July 1, is $52,000,000, exclusive of the §10,000,600 voluntary call, of which, as already stated, less than $1,000,000 has been re- deemed, The soundness of the demands of the Morrison surplus resolution has been y demonstrated by the heavy re- ceipts of the treasury within the last month, which during that time have averaged a million a day and have been goly cess of the expenditures. Should this volume of receipts be main- tained the whole of the outstanding 3 per cents will have to be called for redemp- tion before the Fifticth congress meets in December, 1887. This consideration will doubtless impose on the present congress at its mnext session the duty of taking measures w enable tI secrctary of the treasury to apply the surplus revenue to the purchase of bonds not due or of makmg a substan- tial reduction of the tariff in the interests of American manufacturers by an cn- largement of the free list. The demands for fre aterials for use in our factories are increasing inothe very hot beds of the high tariff men, as manufacturers seo that by such a course new markots would be opencd and additional employ- ment would be afforded to labor. The only alternative to a rational tariff revision for revenue reduction will be the purciiase of bonds in the open markets. The 44 per cents redeemable in 1801 are now selling at $1.12 and the 4 per cents of 1907 at $1.26. Should the government enter the market as a purchaser they would go still higher. The Business Situation, If the long expected boom has not ar- rived at last, all signs fail, All eastern markets report unusuzl activity. In New York the fall trade is said to be of unpre cedented volume. Elsewhere through- out the country the distribution of all kinds of merchandise for home trade re- quirements continues lurge. The only noteworthy decline in prices during the past week has been in the grain markets, where it results from the pause in for- cign buying and the steady growth of domestic stooks, Wool continues tirm and decidely more active, owing to the advanee in Australian wools in foreign markets. Dry good are more in demand with stocks in all de- partments east well sold up. The iron and steel trades continue strong at all pomts, with a favorable outlook for fu- ture business. Wheat prices have declined 2 to 2} cents a bushel under the pressure of ac- cumulating stocks in this country and a comparatvely light demand for export. Stocks in sight, ineluding the amount atloat and i transit from all parts of the world to Great Britain and the Conti- uent, show an inerease of 3,000,000 bush- els. The movement of winter wheat at primary points is smaller, but receipts at spring wheat centers contlnue large. Foreign markets are weaker and oxporters are holding off. The situation is favorable for a good export business during the balance of the crop year, but forcign buyers are evidently inelined to allow the depressing influ- ences now at work in American markets tospend their force before they again make free purchases. Corn has de- elined 2 to 2¢ cents per bushel under free selling inall grain centers, induced by large veceivts and more favorable weather for the growing erop, which will ¥ soon be secured from the risk of injury by early frosts.
