The case of Great Britian on the other hand, is that Retiring sea is an open sea in which all nations have a right to fish. It Is asserted that Great Britian has throughout been favorably disposed to the adoplloo of general measures for the control of the fur seal fisheries. Both parties file claims for damages, the United States for losses to its rev- enue and on account oi losses to mo Alaska Commercial company because of the reduced number of skins taken, owing to the dimlnuatlon of the herd by the pelagic sealing of the Britlsn vessels, and Great Britian on account of losses to owners of vessels seized by the United States.

It is au- tnoritativelv learned at the department of justice that special counsel Henry Jackson, employed In the Gate city National bank case, Atlanta, Ga., uas not been removed, but that any further action on his part in the case has been suspended until Attorney-General Ol- ney and Secretary Carlisle, of tne treas ury, agree on the course to be pursued The case has assumed a very peculiar phase. The bank, in the opinion of treasury officials, is in a position to open its doors and pay every dollar of its In debtedness caused by the defalcation of Redwiue, but there is said to be a dis agreement as to who shall constitute the board of directors. On tbe otner hand it 1b Intimated that several of tbe old directors are open to the charge of having wrongfully taken money from the bank. Jackson was foimerly coun sel for tbe bank, and tile sou commliui suicide shortly after the Redwlne derai crtlon became known, This over- whelmed Jackson with grief, and It Is said he made some very wild statement as the result against members of the old board of directors. They were so grave the government felt called upon to stop further action on his part In his case till a searching Investigation or tne bank's condition was made. Not on the Warpath.

The Treaty With Russia is De loanced. New French Cabinet to Be Formed NEW RUSSIAN TREATY. Washington, March 81. The criti cisms made upon tbe Russian treaty, whether just or not, have had the ef fect of putting the senate on the defen sive. It Is understood that when it Is finally decided to give tbe treaty out It will be accompanied by a draft of the convention as it came to tbe senate, so that comparison may be made be tween tbe treaty as ratified and tbe oue upon which tbe senate acted. Accom panying this will also appear tbe cur resoondence. for it Is understood the state department has given its consent to tbe publication of tbe messages that passed between tbe representatives or tbe contracting powers. Tbe most re cent treaty previously made by this government bearing upon the extra dition of criminals is that with Bel glum In 1882. That contains a olause said by the senators to be almost Iden tical with the "political clause" of the treaty under 'discussion. Political clauses are not at all rare in treaties made by the United States, for, from early days, the right of asylum has been protected in all conventions negotiated. Owing to rigid discipline and strict frontier surveillance in Rus sia. It was Dointed out on the floor of the senate that extradition to Belgium and Russia under precisely the same wording meaut two vastly different things. During this debate It was brought forcibly to the attention of the senate by one of tbe leading constitu tional lawyers of tbe South that this country bad at one time asked for and secured the extradition of a man charged with what might have been under such a treaty called a "political offense." He referred to the arrest of John H. Burratt, Implicated In tbe conspiracy which resulted in tho assas sination of Lincoln. Burratt fled to Egypt, Joined tbe army of tbe khe- dlve, aud thence to Rome, where he became one of tbe papal zouaves. He was recognized by a citizen of Balti more, who notified this government of bis whereabouts. Upon application to tbe pope, wbo then enjoyed temporal power In Italy. Burratt was sent to this country and tried. A prominent Repullcan senator who has been pronounced In opposition to tbe ratification of this treaty makes tbe statement that the new treaty, net only with Russia but France, bears the semblsnce of a deliberate effort to bolster up or at least strengthen tbe eaHse of tbe United States la certain delicate diplomatic negotiations now in progress. "Ia other words," said be, "we purebaaed our present Bebring seal fisheries of Russia, party te eoe of Umm treaties. Our dlfjsreaoes with Highest of all in Leavening Power, lLatest IT. S Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE England are about (o be settled by a high court of arbitration at tho capital of the nation which la a. nariv to the other treaty and has also natried one of tho arbitrators. It looks Very much to me like a deliberate attempt to violate the rights of human llbefly'and return human beings Into what is worse than slavery in" order that we may 'protect a few seals." FRENCH CABINET CBIBI8. ' Paris, March 81. The government was defeated by a narrow marclu in I the chamber of deputies yesterday and another cabln(t crisis is tbe result. Theorists arose through the submission In tha ohamhn'r nf thn runnrt of the budget committee.

AU outward signs of the cabinet crisis were apparent In the crowded galleries. WhenCasslmlr Periertook tho ohalr all of the ministerial places were vacant. Tlrard, minister of fi nance, announced in a few words that the cabinet bad reglgned but were charged by President Carnot to carry on tbeafialrs of state for a short period. He would,. therefore, ask the chamber vnU n iinn'lftjiiiriii' tl nnVI'twO months. The chamber referred tbe re oort to tbe budget committee and then took a recess. At 10 o'clock, tho hour set for re-assembling, not a chair in tho whole bouse was vacant and hundreds who could not sain attendance were wait ing at tbe entrance to get tbe earliest possible. Bews of tho proceedings. The disorder which the president was un able to quiet was hushed a moment when Lockroy announced the decision of the budget committee. In a few words he stated that the committee felt it to be inexpedient to grant tbe request made by Tlrard for two month's supplies, but would recommend vote covering one month from the present time. Shouts of approval greeted tbe statement. The brief discussion which followed was onesided, as the differ ence In opinion In tbe chamber practi cally concerned only tne question whether tbe supplies should be voted for one month or not at all. Eventually tbe report of tbe com mittee was adopted by a vote of 604 to 6 and the chamber adjourned until Tuesday. It is rumored that Develle, minister ot foreign affairs, In the Rlbot cabinet, will be asked by President Carnot to form a ministry. LATEST WORLD'S FAIR NEWS.

Ciiioaoo, March 81. Many of tbe contractors at the world's fair gtounds are looking forward with a great deal of uneasiness to next Monday, Aprils. An edict has eone out among the labor organizations that after that day only union workmen will be employed on the world's fair lobs, and If conaractora do not pay heed to this order there will follow a Btrlke. It refers more particu larly to 10 carpenters. Their union hero Is weak, compared with tbe brick layers' and somo others,and there being but 80 days loft in which to finish the hundreds of exhibit pavilions and con cessionary stands and not nearly enough carpenters to supply tbe de mand, tbey think it Is a good chance tostreugtben tbelr union.
