relating to tbe laihriag Sea controversy was sent to Congress yesterday by Seeivtory Maine. The letter of Jieerettry It kino Iran mitting tb correspondence to tit lWhfteat, tuut the letter of tb Presl drat transmitting it to Centre, are merely formal, Mr. Maine stating1 aim ply that b sincerely regret the delay ia tra Herniation. Secretary Maine's letter Is dated "liar Harbor." The eetreependeaee transmitted is from Au gust t, m to J air 10. 1W Tbe Unit letter is from Mr. Kdwnrdes, first secretary of the Kritiik legation at Washington, to Mr. Itlaine, ia which the Secretary of Bute in informed that repeated rumors bare reached Her Majesty's Government teat the I nited States cruisers hare stoppesl. searched and even seized Hrttib vessel ia ltehriu Sea outside the three-mile limit. Mr, Ed warden further state that the Marquis uf Salisbury eirel him to ask that stringent ia struction he sent to Called State oficera to prertat the possibility of such s-ecttrrence taklair place.

The orrespondeaee between Secre tary limine and the new ItritUh Mia bstee began Jaauary ti of this year witla a very lone letter from the Sec tary to Sir Jullaa Paunceiote, i inm tetter Air. itlaine goes over the whole question, and aays It is we opinio oi uie rresiuent that tne vowels arretted were eng aged in a purseit that was in itself contra 6th ny. .Mr, Kiaiae coa tended that ever since this Government aoquiml rights ia llebrinjr Sea sbe BMiataiaed itndUtnrbed poieession until im, and that these rights she 'and lkweia bad Mtablisbcd and enjoyed for nearly a century. m im "certain Canadian' vessels averted their riyht to eater, aad by tbeir rth leas' course to destroy the

Moenee. i he liorernmentof the L sited Sutewatoflco proceeded to check this Mereatent. which, unchecked, was sure te do jrreat and irreparable barm." ' Kcardin Ea)cland8 claim that the 8jsare were made on the high seas, Mr. lilaine sajs it is doubtfoi whether Her Majesty's Government would abide by this rule if the attempt was made to interfere with the earl fisheries of Ceylon, which extend wore than twenty miles from the shore line and have been enjoyed by England witbeat asolaeWtioa ever giaee their aeFebruary It tbe Ilritmh Minister wren that his ffevernment was willin to adopt the suggestion made in the course ef their interview that the tripartite negotiations suafNwded in London in im be resnmed in "IVaftbiaffton. and reeommendeil to bis government certain provhional mMres to remove apprehension of deletion of the seal. Salisbury, under date of May S last, replies to Mr. "Iltatne's argument Mr. Poraytb, writing on the case to ike American Minister at St. Petersrg on the 4tb of May, 1887. said: "It i a violation of the rights of the eitl;nns or the United States, immentorl lly exereised and eured to them h -well by the Law of Nations as by stittlatlons of the last article of the eov -roatlon of 182-1, to ftnb in those sea. nd to resort to the coast for the proenontion of their lawful commerce upon points not already occupied." From the itpeeh of Mr. Sumner when iatrednlng the question of the purchase of A link a in Conjrreet, it i aally clear that the United States -Government did not regard themselves

as purchasing a monopoly. Having dealt with fur-bearing animals, he went -on to treat ot fttherie. and. after alluding to the presence of different species of whales In the Aleutian Islands, sa'd: "Xo sea Is now mure eittHym; all ef these may be pursued by a ship under any flag, except directly on the coast or within lU territorial line." Heplying to Secrotary Itlaine in the statement that from lf7 to is the possession of seal fisheries wa enjoyed hy tbe United States without Intrusion or interruption from any source, Lord isalielHtry rays he can not but think Mr. Itlaine has been misinformed as to tbe hisUnry of operations In liehring Sea during that period, and cites instance to prove tli at Itrltish vessels were engaged at intervals in the fur-seal fisheries, with the oogniaaaceof the United States Government. Under date of May U, 13P0, Secretar7 Itlaine, writing to Sir Julian Pa u neefete, again goes orcr the ground of th entire controversy, and says that he U Instructed by the President to protest against the course of the ltritUh Government in encouraging and protecting! .VM 1 Im dolnjr violence nnlnyt seel I life. The Present, Sverelofjr Blaine eaji. is surprised that such rltiaUoit nWotild unnoticed ly lord Salisbury i wxzvm previon arciaratloni ef his iij.ii .ij. . ...... ledUfeip would seem to render It impossible"," 0a tbe llvh day ef November, 1S8T. Lord Salisbury, Secretary Maine says. In an official interview with the Minister from the United States (Mr. Phelp erdialiy agreed that "aWrdof regnlatlon should be shaped for the preservation or th seals In ltehrlng Sea Irem destruction at proper times bv the itiaena of either country," and Ird Kaltobery suggested that Mr. Phelps "should obtain from his Government and submit to him (Lord Salisbury) a jketaMt of a system of regulation whleh

would be a44jtiate ror tae purport. Further interviews were boU iriar the following month of February betweem Lord Salisbury and the American Minister and between Lord tatUv bury nod the Americas Minister a eompanled by Uie Rusiaa AmbasMuior. In anewer to Loid Salisbury' request. Mr. Ittelps submitted the "riruUUonM whkh the Govern went of the United States desired; and in

a dispatch of February Mr. liielps eommaakated the fotlew:njr to Mr. Hayard, Secretary of aitate: Umi sUiMry aMntM w your nroMMitioa tu v.tl.ntU by iMutHi muift eii etitweea tie evmwM: iNt-nt a cIom ttm for fur t. re n April W and Xwveuibr t. and UetwM tSS awrri loagitult weet neU 1T degree al losintu4i m In tbc KhriBK -S- Ami He win otxt am art to lw IntroducfHl lutu larltstaMt to rttwt to tUU arragemvnt so -oon a It ra l prpartHl, In hU plalt, ttwre is dosbt that thm met will be isssd.

You will perceive Secretary llbino't axis, then, that from the 1 1th of November. 1&. to the Ctd of April, 1SJ, Ixnl Salisbury bad in every form of srercb assented to tbe necessity of a j close reason for tbe protoct'.cwt f tlw , seals, lbs aatiraacs were given to tbe American Minister, to the Ameri can charge, to tbe Russian Ambassador, aad on wore than one occasion to two of them w, 'other. The United Ma to had no reason, therefore, to doubt that tbe whole dispute VucbIh; the seal Itsberies Was practUally settled. Indeed, to have distrusted u would have been to question the tooJ faith of Lord balubury. In diplomatic intercourte b .'tween tJwat ldUi.i ani the United states, lie it said to te honor ef both frtvcrnment.s. a vertiai aurance iroma . be fl;., , 1..- ..! v. ; . h tauter net amays ion equal a hii written pirnqra. .p.ajcin tne same language, there has been no room for misunderstanding between the repre sentative of the two governments, ai may easily happen between thoso , Of. different tongues." I or several weeks following Aril 2Qth, Mr. Itlaine say, "there were many call by the American charge at tbe Foreurj) umce so team wnetner Canada bad been heard from.' M lie called alone, and called in cowmnv with the Russian Ambassador. Finally, on the 30th of June. Lord Salisbury told him that an urge nt tele gram had been "sent to Canada a week ago with respect to the delay in. its expedition," and that a report'-had been received by the Secretary of State for te Colonies, saying that the matter will be taken up immediately. Mr. White, relying entirely upon these assurances, ventured to "hope that shortly after Mr. Paelp. returns the Itrltish Government will be in a condition to agree upon the Mils of the proposed convention." "It was thus finally acknowledged," Mr. Itlaine. say, "that the negotiations into which Lord Salisbury bad cordially entered, and to which be had readily agreed, even himself suggesting some of it most valuable details, was entirely subordinated to the judgment and desire of the Canadian Government. This Government can not bnt feel." Secretary Itlaine eontinnea, "that Lord Seltohnry would have dealt more frankly if in the beginning he had informed Minister Phelps that no arrangement could be made unions Canada concurred in It, and that all negotiations with the Uritlsh Government di rect was but lose of time. When vou. Mr. Minister (.Sir Julian 1'aunsefote). arrived in this country a year ago, there seemed a prospect for adjustment of this question. but tbe Randan Minister and the Amer ican Secretary of State have had the experience ot Mr. Phelp and the Kusslan Ambassador repented, ln our Interviews there seemed to lie a ready a aisposition on your part to come to a reasonable and friendly adjustment as there has always been on our part to offer one. You will not Torre t an in terview between yourself, the Iludan Minister and myself, in which the lined for a clow season in the llehrlng Sea, laid down by Lord -Salisbury, were almeet exactly repeated by yourself, ani Were inscribed on maps which were before us, a copy of wt ich Is ln the possession of tbe KussUn Minister, and a Opy in my possesdon. A prompt kijunwnent seemeu pracucaoie, an adjustment which I am sure would have been honorable to all the countries in terested. olwUcles were presenteil on the American side ot the question; no Insistence was made upon the llehrlng Sea's mnrt ttnttm; no objection was ti'terposed to the entrance of British Hhtp at all times on all commercial ) rands through all the waters of the Hr-hring Sea. l!ut our negotiation?, a ir. London, were suddenly broken off for many weeks by tbe Interposition of Canada. When correspondence wai re sinned, on the lau day of April, you made an offer for a mixed commission of expert to decide the nueuion at The proportion made by Lord Sailsb'try in 1338, ami the proportions made by Her Majesty's Minister in Washingten In l&raare In significant contrast."

L-.i-n- ,ha ever the extent ot the evil, the remedy pres ent law providing for National super visor of election, extending it to a point which supersedes altogether the State control of Congressional elections. The State election onlcers, indeed. are nominally recognized, but they are subordinated entirely to the United States officers. Tbe result would be that the election of members of Congress in New York, for instance, upon the request of a few persons in every district, would he eon trolled not by officers selected by the people, but by agents appointed by National authority. The States under the circumstances might naturally deel ine to take any official part In such elections, and the blow at the very root of ear system of local self-government would be disastrous.
