filKUK »IAY UK IK'1 TLL.I:. WASHINGTON, March 7.—Tlie Motiving sea situation still eontiniu's to be tin chief topic of gossip. Tho return of the president seems to be accepted as an indication that a linn stand will be maintained. The matter is generally regarded as very serious and no predictions are made as to the outcome. lteKHriletl as an Insult.

The action of Lord Salisbury in refusing to renew tlie modus vivendi, while at the same time approving the treaty of arbitration, is considered in the nature of adireet insult,aud his suggestion that closed zoue be observed around the l'i ibylulf islands is regarded as a mere quibble. It is generally regarded that to submit the whole matter to arbitration aud leavo the sea entirely open to fishers for a whole season would be absurd on the face of it, inasmuch as by the time the question came to be settled there would be literally nothing left to arbitrate, for the reason thai there would be no seals extant. An open season, as proposed, it is thought would meivn the utter annihilation of the species.

To t'pliolit American {tights.

The situation will be passed on at tin- regular meeting of tins cabinet Tuesday. There need be 110 fear that the policy followed will be lacking in vigor or will fail to uphold American rights. Intimations have been received that LorJ Salisbury did not fully estimate the irritation his refusal to renew the modus vivendi would cause. It has been hinted that Minister Lincoln lias received information in the nature of an "explanation" of just what the liritish foreign office meant by the suggestion of a JO-mile limit around the l'ribylott' islands.

The Canadians who have fostered the seal-poaching industry are plainlv hopeful that they will get, another season's unrestricted poaching. In this they are badly mistaken. Unless the modus vivendi is renewed by the -liritish government the arbitration treaty will not be ratified by the senate. The treaty may be sent in by the president with a recommendation for an amendment requiring the renewal of the modus vivendi. If (Jrcat Hritain is not willing to consent to this, then the I'uited .States will undertake the protection of .the seals alone and will act 011 the assumption that its jurisdiction is complete. l«y

Need More War Ships.

The navy department had almost concluded tliat the Mohican, in connection with the revenue cutters Corwin, ltush ami Hear would be suilicienl for this year's police duty, but it is nowfeared that something more than police duty will be necessary. .Naval olliccrs have been consulting together a good deal as to what will be expected of the navy in the light of Lord Salisbury's new attitude. The naval officials fully expect instructions that will necessitate the presence of nearly all of the Pacific fleet in the Hehring sea.
