Uirn, do (Wide follows : I!y the ukane
of lHl'l, KuKHHia claimed jurisdiction in
the wa now known an liehring aea, to
the) extent of 100 Italiitna tnilea to the
coaiili and bland) beloning to her, but ia
the cou me of the neifotititiona which led
to the conclusion of the treaty of 18LM
with the United Stated, and the treaty
of 18.'.') with Great I'.riUin, Kucoia ad
mitted that her juriitdiction in said sea
could lie reHtrlctcd to ar to reach a can
non aliot from shore. It appear! that
from that time up to the time of the
(chhiiiii of Alaska to the United taten,
Kunia never ai-wrlcl in fact or exer

"Aatothe 44coiid of the five points,

claim upon the part of Kusnia toexclu

in Itehring tea, outside the ordinary ter
ritorial wateri.
"Ai to the third point, aa to so much
thereof as require! us to decide whether
the body of w ater now known as Behring

tween Uieat Britain and liunnia, we
unanimously decide and determine that
tiie body of water now know n as Ik'hr
ing sea was included in the phrase
Taciflc ocean,' ai used in said treaty.
"On the fourth point, we decide and
determine that all the rights of Russia
to jurisdiction as to the seal fisheries
parsed lo the Uniled States, limited by
the cession.
"On .lie fifth point, we decide and tie
terniiiiC that the United Btates has no

United Statea iu Behring sea when found
outside the ordinary three-mile limit."
THKUK RKOl'LATIONS HORK FAVOKAI1LE.
The following regulations were adopted
by a majority of the arbitrators, Mr.
Harlan and Sir John Thompson dis
senting: Article 1. The United States and
Great Britain Bhall forbid their citizens
and subjects respectively to kill capture
and pursue, at any time or in any manner
whatever, the animals commonly called
fur seals within a tone of 00 mites around
the 1'ribylofT islands, inclusive of the
territorial water, the miles being geo
graphical miles, 00 to a degree of lati
tude. Article 2. The two governments
shall forbid their citizens or subjects to
kill, capture or pursue, in any manner
whatever, during a season extending in

ive, fur Bcal on the high eea in that part
of the l'acific ocean inclusive of the
Behring sea, situated north of the 35th
degree of north latitude, or eastward of
the 180th degree of longitude from
Greenwich, until it strikes the water
boundary dcticribed in article 1 of tho
treaty of 180" between the United Stales
and liiiHsiu, following that line up to
IU'hring (strait.
Article 3. During the period of time
in the waters in which fur sealing is al
lowed, only sailing vessels shall be per
mitted to carry on or take part in fur

propelled by paddles, oars or sails, as

Article 4. Each sailing vessel author
ized to carry on catching must be pro
vided with a special license issued for
the purpose by its government. Each
vessel so employed shall bo required to
carry a distinguishing flag prescribed by
its government.
Article 5. Masters of vessels engaged
in fur sealing shall enter accurately
in an ollicinl logbook the date and place
of such operations, and the number and
sex of the seals captured daily. Those
entries shall be communicated by each

the end of each season.
Article 0. The use of neta, firearms or
explosives is forbidden in fur Bealing.
This restriction shall not apply to shot

Article 7 . The two governments shall
take measures to control the fitness of
the men authorized to engage in seal
ing. These men shall have been proved

Articles. The preceding regulations
shall not apply to Indians dwelling on

hitherto practiced by the Indians, pro
vided that such Indians are not em
ployed by other persons, and provided
that when so hunting in canoes or un

Article 9. The concurrent regulations

Said concurrent regulations shall be sub
mitted every five years to a new exam
ination, in order to enable both govern
ments to consider w hen, in the light of
past experiences, there is occasion to
make any mollification thereof. '
The arbitrators make a Secial finding
on the facts agreed upon by the agenU
of both governments with reference to
the seizure of British vessels in Behring
sea in 1882 and 1S8U In addition the
arbitrators make certain suggestions to
the two government-, the most impor
tant being that they should come to
some understanding to prohibit the kill
ing of seals on land or sea for a period
of from one to three years, and should
enact regulations to carry out the find
ings of the arbitrators.
Til 8 QUESTIONS IN DISPUTE.
Following is a summary of the treaty
submitting the matter to arbitrators and
the questions to be divided :
The Behring sea arbitration treaty or
convention was signed in Washington,
February 29, 1S92, by James G. Blaine,
on the i 'art of the United States, and
Julian I'auncefote, on the part of Great
Britain. It was sent to the senate in
confidence the 8th inst. The treaty pro
vided that the Behring sea controversy
should be submitted to a tribunal of ar
bitration, to be composed of seven arbi
trators, the president of the United
States and her Britannic majesty to
name two each, and the president of
France, the king ot Italy and the king of
Sweden and Norway to name oue each
The arbitrators were to be distinguished
jurists in their respective couutiies, and
the treaty provided for counter cases,
or what might be called evidence in re
buttal. The arbitrators were commis
sioned to proceed impartially and care
fully to examine and decide the ques
tions that should be laid before them.
All questions considered by tribunal,
idcluding the final decisions, were to be
determined bv a majority of the arbi
trators. l'OINTS I.N DISPUTE",
Five questions were submitted to the
arbitrators, as follows:
First The exclusive jurisdiction in
the sea known as Behring sea, and what
exclusive rights in the said fisheries
therein Russia asserted and exercised
prior and up to the time of the cession of
Alaska to the United Statea.
Second How far were these claims of
jurisdiction as to the seal fisheries recog
nized and conceded by Great Britiau?
Third Was the body of water now
known as the Behring seg included in the
"pacific ocean," as nsed in the treaty of
1825 between Great Britaian and Russia,
and what rights, if any, in the Behring
sea were held and exclusively exercised
by Russia after said treaty?
Fourth Did not all the rights of Rus
sia as to jurisdiction and as to the seal
fisheries in Behring sea east of the win
ter boundary in the treaty between the
United States and Russia of March 80.
1SH7, pass unimpaired to the United
Stales under that treaty?
Fifth Has the United States any
right, and if so, what right, to the protec
tion of the property in the fur seals fre
quenting tho islands of the United States
in the tho Behring sea when such seals
are found outside the ordinary three
mile limit?
If the arbitrators should decide that
the concurrence of Great Britian was
necessary to the establishment of regula
tions for the proper protection and
preservation of the fur seals in Behring
sea, it was ruled that the arbitration
should determine what concurrent reg
ulations outside the jurisdictional limits
of the respective governments were nec
essary, and over what waters such reg-

tracting parties also agreed to co-operate
in securing the adhesion of other powers
to sucn regulations. The questions of
the liability of either government for
damages was to be the subject of
further negotiatons, although tiie arbi
trators might decide on the question of
fact involved. The treaty also provided
for the appointmont of the two commis
sioners by each of the high contracting
parties to investigate and report facts
bearing relation to seal life and the
measures necessary to its preservation.
SILVER DISCUSSM.
Rills Jntroducfd In Congress
Repeal of Sherman Law.
0RF.fi0.VS (BASK GOTER50R.
Wants the Legislature Conrened U
I'rereNt the Collertlen
of Debts.
Washington, Aug. 11. "We do not
intend that any political party shall
survive that will lay a confiscating hand
upon America in the interest of England
and of Europe, and demonetize silver in
this country, and my friends of the
Eastern democracy, we bid you farewell
when you do it."
Thee were the words of Richard P.
Bland, in the great financial contest that
opened in the house of representatives
today and the applasuse that followed
this determined utterance demonstrated
that the great silver leader had with him
the material element of the democratic
purty. It brought eyery member of the
bouse to a realization that the most
serious crisis in the democratic party
since the dissensions of slavery was at
hand, and that the division of 1893,
like the division of 1861, would be largely
on sectional lines. In accordance with
the programe agreed upon last night,
Wilson, immediately after the meeting
of the house, introduced a bill uncondi
tionly repealing the Sherman purchas
ing law of 1890.
Bland then presented the following
bill of the silver men, which provides
for free coinage and the repeal of the
iilver-purchasing act:
''Beit enacted, etc., that from and
dfter the passing of this act, all holders
of silver bullion to the amount of $100 or
more, standard weight and fineness,
shall be entitled to have the same
coined at the mints of the United States
into silver dollars of weight and fineness
provided for in section 2 of this ait.
"Section 2. That the silver dollar
provided for in this act shall consist of
412'i grains of standard silver, said
dollar to be a legal tender for all debts,
dues and demands, both public and
private.
"Sec. 2 The holder of the silver
dollars herein provided for shall be en
titled to deposit the same and receive
silver certificates, in the manner pro
vided by law for standard silver dollars.
"Sec. 4 So much of the act of July
14, 1890, as requires the monthly pur
chase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver shall
be, and the same ia hereby repealed.
Upon this bill Representative Bland
spoke at length and closed with the
opening sentences of this report.
Oregoi'i Crank Ooreraor.
Salkm, Or., Aug. 14. Governor Pen
noyer will today send a letter to the
members of the legislature requesting;
their opinions aa to the advisability of
calling a special session of the legisla
ture at an early date for the purpose of
passing a law to stay the execution of
judgments. The governor has written
this letter in response to requests in
numerous letters from Eastern Oregon
and other portions of the state asking
that some such action be taken.
The circumstances set forth in the
letters asking for such relief are that
the times are hard, money can not be
had on even the very best of security,
and the persistence of creditors would
have the effect of utterly ruining whole
counties of the state. Grain is of good
quality but rather under the usual yield
per acre in Eastern Oregon and the
price is but three-fourths as much as it
was last year. This leaves the farmers
not much above the actual cost ot pro
duction and it is out of the question for
them to think of paying heavy debts
from the products of their fields. The
laws of Oregon at present permit the
taking of a man's property for debt and
selling it for a mere fraction of the
amount it is actually worth. From this
procedure the debtors want relief.
The governor thinks the laws now in
force would form a considerable meas
ure of relief if debtors would take ad
vantage of all the provisions. In some
instances cited the feature of usurious in
terest would have been ample safe
guard against oppression if tbe law in
that particular had been invoked. But
the demand seems to be for a definite
and distinct stay taw that shall give the
debtor a year before judgment against
hira can be executed. This provision,
they think, would take the poor farmers
out of the clutches of the money lends.
