THERE IS NO SECRECY The Exact Points of Contention in tie Benring Sea Dispute. CLAIMS OF CONTENDING PARTIES Both Freely Admitted a Destruction of Seals, but Attribute it to Far Different Causes. New York, March 25. At the meet ing Thursday of the Behring sea arbitra tors, it was decided the sittings would not be held behind closed doors. This permits the making public of the exact points of the contention. Briefly stated, the case of the United States is that Al askan fnr seal is begotten, born and reared, only upon Pribyloff islands, to which the seal return each spring to spend several months consorting to gether ; that while at these islands the seals are easily controlled ; that . discri mination can be and has been exercised ; that while absent from these islands dur ing migration, which reaches as far south as the coast of California, they land on no other shore, and mingle with no other herd of fur seals ; that because of these habits the Alaskan herd and each indi vidual of it is the property of the United States, The method employed by open sea sealers is attacked by the American government as destructive, wasteful and exterminating. It is claimed a large percentage of the eeals killed by open sea hunters are females, a majority ' of which are about to become or are moth ers. The destruction of the pregnant female causes the death of the unborn young. The death of the mother seal, killed while in search of food in the waters of the Behring sea, destroys the offspring on the Pribyloff islands. It is further claimed that many seals shot in open sea by hunters escape mor tally wounded or sink before the hunter reaches them. Open sea sealing, it is argued, will result in the destruction of the herd in the near future. On the is lands only a limited number of the male seals are killed. As the seal is polyga mous, a large number of males can be killed without affecting the birthrate of the herd." On these facts the American government claims, from the nature of the industry established on the Priby loff islands, that the United States has the right to protect and preserve these seals wherever they may be found, as the animals can only be killed on United States territory, without ' danger of ex termination. It is also claimed, owing to the long period of gestation, that pel agic sealing cannot at any time be other wise tnan destructive, dangerous ana wasteful, and should be prohibited. The case of Great Britain, on the other hand, is that Alaskan seals have not the characteristics of animals that can be made subject to property ; that it is not certain they land only upon the Priby loff islands, or that they do not inter mingle with the Russian seal nerd ; or thai they are pelagic in. nature, and therefore should be treated as fish rather than land animals ; (that many of the propositions essential to the position taken by the United States are unproven or contrary to facts. As to pelagic seal ins, it is claimed the destructiveness and wastefulness has been greatly ex aggerated ; that it is a legitimate and proper method of taking seals, and can be taken without danger of exterminate ing the herd. Much importance is also given by the British government to the jurisdiction it claims over Behring sea but this appears to be treated by the United States as a secondary qnestion Both nations concede the seals have de creased, the United States charging such m feassttMBs1 s Royal Worcester Corsets.

A Famous " Spot. Chattanooga, Tenn., March 25. Or chard Knob, celebrated because from there, exposing himself to the guns of the enemy, General Grant commanded the battle of Missionary Ridge, has been 1 purchased by the United States national park commissioners, and will be in cluded in the Chickamauga national park. A few days ago the commissioners purchased the site of General Bragg's headquarters at the time of the same battle. The commissioners are now ne gotiating for the point of Lookout moun tain, having been giving such authority by a recent act of congress. Seeking; for Office. Washington, March 25. The arrival of Emanuel Myer in Washington has put a different phase upon the contest for collector of customs at Portland. Myer filed his application today, to gether with all his indorsements. He and bis friends think that Black cannot be appointed in the face of these indorse ments. H. Gray,- who believes that there is no doubt of his appointment as collector of Alaska, has formed a com bination with Myer, and is doing all he can for him. Whitney May Succeed Lincoln. Washington, March 25. A rumor, with many elements of probability, was current id the corridors of the state de partment today that W. C. Whitney, of New York, will succeed Robert T. Lin coin at the court of St. James. The only doubt in the matter is in regard to Whitney's wishes. There is no question that he will be appointed provided the office is acceptable to him. Ko Selection Made. Washington, March 25. In reference to a rumor that ex-Secretary William C. Whitney will be appointed ambassador to Great Britain, it is stated o.niunquestion able authority that neither Whitney nor any other man has been selected for the position. In fact, it is asserted posi tively, on the same authority, that the matter of appointing a successor to Mr. Lincoln has not been considered. An Extra Session. Niw York, March 26. A Washing ton special to the 'Herald says: Presi dent Cleveland has finally made up his mind to call an extra session of congress for next September. He' made the statement several times last week to prominent members of both houses of congress. Talk's cheap, but when it's backed up by a pledge of the hard cash of a finan cially responsible firm, or company, of world-wide reputation for fair and hon orable dealing, it means business !

Smith, book keeper, last evening, and then sent ' a bullet crashing through his own brain. The tragedy occurred about 6 :40 o'clock, at the intersection of Third and Alder streets. Four shots were fired. Smith was hurried to Surgeon Young's office, where his single wound in the body was examined and pronounced not necessa rily fatal, and Gove's remains were re moved to the morgue. In one of the dead man's pockets .was found a bank book, several pages of which was cov ered' with a lead pencil scrawl, which gave the first clue to his identity and the cause of his terrible deed. The. follow ing was written : "Five years - ago next August, about the 14tb, C. J. Smith, while I was out of the city, began rooming at my home. At the said time said S. was a business partner of mine... About a week after he began rooming at my house, he entered my wife's bedroom and attempted to rape her person. He was immediately and unceremoniously dismissed from the room, but fearing business entangle ments, she failed to do entirely what she should, but allowed him to remain in the house until my return, when she at once told me all. I kicked him out at once, but did not do more, because I wished to avoid entangling my wife in a way which might reflect more or less upon her. I of course knew all concern ing the matter, and I hereby swear by the Almighty God that I know (so far as my intellect allows) that my wife told mo all, since she informed me at once regarding the matter. I have brooded on the fact of a business partner so basely acting until I am nearly wild. I now propose to castrate said Smith or kill him tonight,' entirely optional with him. In case I must take his life, I will also, to avoid further entanglements, take my own. " C. H. Govk." Smith was removed to the office of Dr. Young, where an examination was made of his injuries, which were found to be not necesearily fatal. The bullet was extracted, but before the operation of probing for it he made the following statement: "Gove and I have been associated in business, and have bad several little difficulties. But I was never intimate with his wife, nor did I ever attempt to take advantage of her. Even believing that I may die, I deny that I ever made any criminal overtures to Mrs. Gove." There is little doubt that Gove was broken down mentally. His actions for some time indicated this, and his friends looked gravely upon his melancholy de meanor and appearance. He seemed downcast, and was given to ridiculous sayings. Friday he entered the office of a prominent real estate firm and in quired for one of the partners. Not being in, Gove left word to the effect that be was very anxious to. see hi tn, as he (Gove) had just been released from jail. Many similar stories were brought out by his terrible deed last evening . . For Kent. A nirAlr frwniRhpd room in pood loca tion with or. without board. Apply at this office. tf.

New Placer Mines. ."A Portland syndicate has had eight placer filings made, aggregating about 160 acres, on Three Creeks, situated about ten miles northeast of here. It has been -known for a good while that this part of the country Mfas rich in gold and the people have been patiently wait ing for capital to come in and develop these placer findings. The company will begin operations as soon as spring opens, and it is supposed machinery will be put in as soon as practicable. If we can't create a boom by a railroad these mines will do their share. Gol dendale Sentinel. A Threatened Suit. - There is promise of a highly-colored sensation among the gossips of Pendle ton. The cause of all this prospective excitement was a bow on the street, an interrogation, a tender missive contain ing warm expressions of love from a married man to a married woman, etc. The parties who are interested for the woman threaten to bring the matter into the court and make the postage on the letter rather more expensive than Uncle Sam's charges. The letter was sent by the little son of the woman. The letter is still in existence. East O.-egoninn. " EUROPE'S FAIR DAUGHTERS. Florence Nightingale, the famous nurse, is 72 years old.
