The President j-aetariiey afternoon front to Cotre Dm eeaeiutiiafr oorreaponiiea oa between Mm United State and Great HrHaia up Vo eat toeenlnif tH fur-al question in the Hehriujr Sea. Tke eorreapoudmm entTaraeea a totter tlated August a, lffe, front Lord Salisbury to Sir Julian Fauaeefote, the HriUh Minister here, in reply to Secretary Blaine's letter oi laet July maintaining that the United State derived from Kuia rirhU erf jurtanetfon over tin? waters oC Itehring Sea to a distance of one hundred mile front the ooaat. Lord Jsulwbury in his letter contend in brief: That England refuted to admit any part of the Xhmmh elaim asserted by the wkae ll of maritime jurisdiction and exeiueire right of tUning- throughout the wkele extent of Hearing Sea a far north a Hearing Strait; that, the treaties of I between Great Itritain and 'Xuaaia and the Unitetl State and Kitstine, were regarded on both side a a renuueiation on the part of Kuwda of that elaiat iu its entirety, and that, though Bearing-Strait were known ami specially provided for, Bearing Sea was not known by that nunc at the time. Vat waa regarded as a part of the PaLard Salisbury in support of this contention (ami the Unitetl States at that tiate took the same view of the Kussian eftitut) quotes from the protect of John Quiney Adams in 1S2S, then Secretary of State, to the Russian representative hare, in which he wrote: ''From the teaer of tlte ukase, the pretensions of the imperial government extend to an exclusive territorial jurisdiction from the 45th degree of north latitude on the Aaiatie eoast to the latitude of 51 degrees north on the Wen-tern eoast of the American continent; ami they assume ike right of interdicting the navigation and the fishery-of all other nations to the extent of one hundred miles from the whole of that coast. The United States can admit no part of these claims. Their right of navigation Had of fishing is perfect, and has aeen in constant exercise from the earliest times after the peace of 1TSSF throughout the1 whole extent of the Southern ocean, subject only to the ordinary exceptions and exclusions of the territorial jurisdictions, which so far as Russian rights are concerned, are ooniaed to certain islands north of the Hftth degree of north latitude, and have Jt on the continent of Anteriea." After quoting further from later correspondence on the same question. Lord Salisbury denies that Great Itritain ever admitted, by act or by sufferanee, the extraordinary claim of maritime jurisdiction contained in the ukase J of imu and says: "The inclosed copies of correspondence extracted from archives of this oSet make it very difficult to heUeve that IMr. Blaine has not been led Sato error. It reonly' : Mer Majesty's Government formally proteet against the ukase m its first issue as contrary to the acknowledged law of nations, but that the Russian Government gave a verbal assurance that the claim of jurisdiction would not be exercised. In the subsequent negotiations great importance was attached to obtaining a more formal disavowal of the elaim in the manner least hurtful to Russian susceptibilities, but so as effectually to preclude its revival. And this security the British Government undoubtedly considered that both they and the United States had obtained by the eon--veatkMts of 1334 and 19i5," Lord Salisbury's letter concludes as follows: t: "The answer, therefore, to the questions with which Mr. lUaine concludes his dispatch is that Her Majesty's Gov--emmeat have always claimed the f reedom of navigation and fishing in the waters of Itehring Sea outside of the uauel territorial limits of one marine league from the coast; that it is impos--.aitHe to admit that a public right to fish, eaten seals, or pursue any other lawful occupation on the high seas can lie held to be abandoned by a nation from the mere fact that for a certain number of jeers it has not suited the subjects of that nation to exercise it- It must be remembered that British Columbia has come into existence as a colony at a comparatively recent date, and that the first considerable influx of population, some thirty years ago, was due to the discovery of gold and did not tend to an immediate development of the shipping interest. I have to request that you will eotnnmnieate a oopy of this dispatch, and of its ineiosures, to Mr. lilaine. Yon will state that Her Majesty's Government have no desire whatever to refuse to the UnitedStates any jurisdiction inKehring Sea which was conceded by Great Ilrit.ain to Russia, ami which property accrues to the present possessors of A laska in virtue of treaties or the law of nations; ami thnt if the United States Government, after examination of the evidence and arguments which I have nreduecd, still differ from them as to the legality of the recent captures in that sea, they are ready to agree that the question, with the issues that depend upon it, should be referred to impartial arbitration. You will in that oase be authorised to consider, in eoneert with Mr. lilaine, the method of procedure to be followed." Secretary 1 Maine in his response, ad" dressed to Sir Julian Pauneefote on the 1 th of December past, at the outset inmate upon the correctness and validity of the iosition which has Wen advocated by the Government of the United States in defense of American rights in the Itehring Sea. Legal ami dlpiomatk questions, he says, are often found after prolonged discussion to depend en the .aeUlemeHt of a single point Seek, nt

In which the United tee Great Britain find themselves m the a sailing eonUoveear toueWag thm true construction of the Kuese American and AnHhRusninw treatlea of IW and IMS. Great Rritaia, tiearetary Blaine says, eon tends that the phrase "Pacific Ocean," a used U the treaties, was intended to Uwlude, and does include, the body of water which is known as the Hearing Sea. The United States eon tends that the Itehring Sen was not mentioned or even referred to, in either treaty, ami wna in no sense included in the phrase "Pacific Ocean." If Great Britain eanmaintaia her position that the Itehring Sea, at the time of the treaties with Russia of im and l&tt, was included in the Pacific ocean, the Government of the United State has no weU-tfrounded complalat against her. If, on the other hand, this Government ean prove beyond all doubt that the Itehring Sen, at the date of the treaties, was understood by the three signatory powers to be a separate body of water, ami wna not included in the phrase "Paetfie Ocean," then the American cae against Great Britain is complete and undeniable. The dispute prominently involves the meaning of the phrase "Xorthweat coast," or "Northwest coast of America." Lord Salisbury assumes that the "Northwest coast" has but one meaniag, and that it includes the whole coast stretching northward to the Itehring Straits. The contention of this Government is that by long prescription the "Northwest coast" means the coast of the Pacific ocean south of the Alaskan peninsula, or south of the sixtieth parallel of north latitude." Secretary lilaine contends that the phrase "Northwest eoast" has been well known and widely recognised in popular usage in England and America from the date of the first trading to that eoast, about 17S4, ami includes precisely the area which has been steadily maintained by this Goverfnent in the pending' discussk t. Mr. Blaine then quotes from the treaties between Great Britain and Russia ami the United St tes ami Russia, ami insists thnt th mghout the whole correspondence co .nected with the formation of the tr ities there was no reference to any di fnctive name for Behring Sea, for tk simple reason that the negotiation hr'.l no reference whatever to Behring St i but was entirely confined to a ". rip of land' on the Northwest eoast c 'ending from ML Elias down to I ;nce of Wales Island, on the itrit&h I rth American coast, and to the .ters of the Pacific Ocean adjacent t ere to. He reminds Lord Salisbury t at Behring Sea was, at the time raft-red to, a recognized name for that L dy of water, and refers to a list of a then tic maps (105 in number, -puto-lMied prior to on 1S3S), every one of t iiich the body of water now known as t e Behring Sea was plainly distin7jished by a name separate from the racifie Ocean, and then asks if it is possible for Mr. Adams and Mr. Canning', parties to negotiating the treaties, with this cloud of witnesses should simply include thh body of water in the phrase 'Pacific Ocean," and make no allusion whatever to it as a separate sea, "when H was known hy almost every educated man in Europe and America to have been so designated numberless times." "When we eontesanlate," Secretary Blaine says, "the mlaate particularity, the tedious veribage, the duplication and the reduplications employed to secure unmistakable plainness in framing treaties, it is impossible to conceive that a fact of this great magnitude could have been omitted from the instructions written hy Mr. Adams and Mr. Canning, as secretaries for foreign affairs in their respective countries impossible that such a fact could have escaped the notice of Mr. Mhidletom and Count Nesselrode, or Mr. Stratford Canning and Mr. Poletiea, who were the negotiators of the two treaties. It is impossible, that in the Anglo-Russian treaty Count Nesselrode, Mr Stratford Canning and Mr. Poletiea should have taken sixteen lines to recite the title and honors they had received from their respective sovereigns, and not even suggest the insertion of one line, or eves one word to secure so valuable a grant to England as the full freedom of the Behring Sea." THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI. Hacteuhtjc the Cempletlsa f the Leveea A jrlt the Hpriac; tl&t. Memphis, Tenn., Jaa. 6. A repetition of the evils of last spring's overflow is feared along the Lower Mississippi, owing to the unfinished and unsafe condition of the levees ami the heavy snows North with prospects of a. thaw. Many thousands of dollars have 1een expc.ided during the pant year oa levee work, and it is being pushed forward as rapidly as possible by the contractors who have doubted their forcea along the line, and hope to complete their work before the spring' rise, an that would prove destructive to the entire system if caught in an incomplete condition. Relays of hands and teams from thin city and parte further north are beings shipped to the work, save in front of Helena, Ark. A long delay has been occasioned on that part of the work by the fact that two contracts made for its completion and ratified by the board of United States engineers were not approved by the Secretary of War when submitted to him.

It was to celebrate what they believed was such a victory that something over two hundred tarilfreformers sat down to a bemtuet at the Oraad Paelne Hotel, Chicago, on the evening of December SO. The laurels of victory were there in the gnhe of several tariff-reform Congressmen-elect chosen from districts hitherto Republican. O metal ly it was a dinner given by tlte Illinois TxritT-Keform League to celebrate the victories recently achieved in tlte cause of tariff reform. The pconidciitof the league, Mr. Franklin MneVeagh, presided, ami in his inimitable way introduced the speakers. The toatlist ami speakem included these subjects: "Tariff Reform and Free Trade," Mr. William T. ltaker; "The Past ami Future of Tariff Reform," General John C. liiack; "The Awakening of the Farmer," ex-tlovernor J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska; "lteciprocity," Hon. Owea Scott; "Tlte Revision of Die Tariff Uv Its Victims." Edwin llurritt Smith; 'The Xew Political Era," Edward (i. Mason; "Subsidies ami ltou-nties," Colonel H. W. Snow; 'The Political Revolution, What Caused It." William G. Kwing. The greatest enthusiasm was manifested throughout the speeches. When Mr. linker, the first speaker, arose he was unable to proceed for some moments. Pleasantly accepting the applause, as intended for his subject rather than himself, he'proceeded: "Thirty yev ago there was mingled with the holiday festivities of the American people, as there Is today, the celebration of a great victory for human freedom. Those of us whoae memories run back to that heroic period eaa recall enough that was like the things ot today to remind us that history repents itself. The victors ia the memorable contest ot 1660 disclaimed any Intention of giving freedom to the slaves, and vehemently protested against belag called abolitionists. To many weak Km is there was a terror in that appcl'atlon, as there is today among a multitude of honest reformers when they are railed "free-traders.' "What la free trade? It may interest some ef the disciples ef the new political subterfuge to learn that Worcester dennes It as commercial reciprocity. Hut ia a broad war I think it fair to say it eessistg of unrestricted exchange ef commodities. Commerce U and always has 1-ecn nothing but barter. All the act of all the Congresses that ever met have been unable to make it any thtag else. The exchange of tlie product Of man's toll for that which satisfies his desires has been the course of nature since the world began, and so we claim It as aa inalienable right, "We are unworthy of our liberties If we do not stand out for the moral principle Involved and tight the doctrine of protection, because it Is essentially wicked no matter who may reap material bene fits from It. Free trade Is the high ideal which the rising generation will see realised. It b something worth fighting tor because it appeals to the sympathy as well as to the intelligence of men and it win yet be a shibboleth to wis victories. "Kat what is revenue reform! The expressions of some frightened editors and statesmen since c lee lion would lead one to think it consists ia the prompt repeal of theMcKlaley law. But why the McKialey law If the last thirteen per cent, is outrageous robbery, as eonfeaeed hy these dhmppwntad ones, hew will yea characterise the previous ferr-sevea per sent.? It ht net the atrocity of the MeKleiey law that enstarbs these gentlemen, bet the fact that the people have found them out, Revenue reform dees not consist ia a return of the last of the tribute extorted from an unwilling people, but in the definite change of direct ton ia our fiscal poiiey. There is ae middle ground of peace between a tariff of prohibition and a tariff for revense only. "For thirty years we have been traveling under Republican control toward prohibition, but our course is now changed. The American people have never quailed at aay burden that was necessary for the preservation of our institutions, hut a public tax for private gain must cease. 'Millions for public good but not one cent for private greed may be our watchwcrd. Tariff reform is the Issue ot the day. Under our banners are ennnted the patriotism and intelligence of the American people. The 4th of November was our Gettysburg. We are marching en to Five Forks aad the end of the com filet. And when this eampalga ef education shalt have done it perfect work there will be a crown of laurel for our glorious leader, the living embodiment of reform, the typical Amerteaa. G rover Cleveland. OBSERAt, BLACK SfKECH. On the subject, "The Past and Future of Taril! Reform," General John C. ltlack said that never in the history of the country, when the issue between high tariff and low tariff was presented to the people free frona war or other questions, had they failed to declare in favor of a low tariff. Briefly summing up the history of the question ia the early days of the Republic he said: "la 189a. for the nrst ttm? after the dose of the war. the attention of the people to this itiestkm was efcaliesged. By a decisive popular vote the people declared, as they had always, for tariff reform. Disdaining this and succeeding imperial mandates of the people, the Republican party in 1H passed the logical conclusion of a pretended protective tariff the XcKlnley law. Had I been a Republican, taught in the doctrines of that party to believe in the rights of the Government to meddle m the minutest affairs of the people, 1 eou'.d not fall te accept the McKltriey law. lint the vokc of three-fourths of the States has declared against this act. aad the theory of Government that produced it. They have declared for a tariff for rerenue only." "OOVKHNMEXT OF CASH, BV" CASH, FOK CASH." Ex-Governor Morton was introduced as a man who for twenty years had been fighting the battle of tariff reform.

Owen Scott called Blaine's reciprocity scheme "a gimlet hole bored through the Mclvinlcy law." Ilia ref en; nee to G rover Cleveland aa tlio leader of the hosts of tariff reform brought forth a storm of applause. THK TARIFF AND ITS VICTIMS. Mr. Edwin lhirritt Smith, in responding to the toast: "The Revision of the Tariff by Its Victims," sakl: The taril has been so long with us aad se affects every transaction of our lives that te many it haa become a blessing persoained, being capable of friendships and enmities. They regard loyalty to what Is absurdly called protection, as others regard loyalty to country. They have not yet dsnled the right to modify the tariff to meet changed conditions, but they Insist that all revision must he by its friends. In fact, slnee the Kepublieaa party accomplished its public programme with reconstruction it has been mainly occupied la distributing spoils and revlslBg the tariff. "The war rendered the heaviest possible taxat to a necessary. The internal-revenue collections for a single year exceeded i8DJ,O0U,0O. This vast burden, in one way or another, reeted on property. With the close of the war came a necessity for tax reduction. It would that the two great systems of taxation which had grown up together, one because of the otber and both because of the war, should have beta reduced together. Hut such has not been the history. A the English liaronH converted te their own private use the public lands placed la their hands to enable them to perform military services after the services were no longer required, so our American tariff barons hare continued to levy private taxes on their consumers years after tho repeal of the Internalrevenue taxes which led to the tariff act of list "A favorite mode of revising the tariff by its friends consists in throwing a tariff bill into the Secrecy of a conference committee in the dosing hours of the session. Then, by changes 1b clad8ratioa, a skillful use of ad valorem and specihe duties is eoniblnaltoB and other shrewd devices, It is made very difficult, if not quite impoeibie, for eTen an expert to tell the extent of protection allowed. If one bad the hardihood to protect he is called a 'theorist' or a 'student of maxims rather thaa of markets.' "Such revision has for its end the removal of all National taxes apoa property. In favor of the heaviest possible, public and private taxation Imposed upon consumption, Kevlsioaof the tariff by its friends means the escape of all accumulated property aad the entire Income of ths rich above actual expenditures and the heaviest posetMe taxation oa, the entire lasome of the poor man who is obliged ia speed aUaegete. The vlcHms of the tacit saa adopt ae surer eeerfe thaa the opposite of that which has been pursued hy He fnsadii. Hcveauo duties and taxes must be reimpoeed sad those which are protective greatly reduced. "The day aad hour are near at hand when the victims of the tariff, under the splendid leadership of the man who has gives a great eause to hie party and a great party to a splendid cause, will undertake a reviskm ef the tariff which will Indeed be a reform." Mr. Edward G. Mason spoke of "Tlte New Political Era" as the time when men would vote their convictions uainfluenced by party considerations. "Subsidies and liountics" Colonel II. W. Snow thought were the idiotic attempts of a defeated cause to restore to the sea the American commerce which restrictive laws had drives from it. THK CAMPAI0?f OF KDUCATIOJC. Mr. W. 0. Kwing responded to the toast: "Tlte Political Involution; What Was Its Cause?" He said: "The great popular condemaathm ef the methods and principles of the party la power is the clear, reasonable and only logical result of the campaign of education that for so many weary years, la season and out of season, the self-sacrliteisg missionaries of tariff reform have prosecuted In every school district and voting precinct within the limits of the Federal UbIou. This campaign of education lilted the American people up to a higner plane of Independent political aad moral thought thaa the shackles and trammels ef party have ever before permitted them to occupy. It has taught the nooplt that submission to party dictation is slavery pare and simple, slavery abject and servile. It has taught them that there eaa sot be any thtag politically right which Is morally wrong. It has taught them that country is more sacred than party ami that humanity is broader thaa nationality, it has taught them that there can not be liberty without law or law without lustiest "The campaign of education has taught tto American people that subsidies, bountlo, protective tar.ffs and reciprocity belong to the same class of crimes and are coparceners In the same corruption; it has taught them that a law which taxes the tolling masses hundreds ot millions of dollars annually to aid private enterprise, by discouraging or prohibiting im porta, Is In itself wrong, and becomes unspeakably infamous when Ita legitimate result la made the pretext for further enormous burden of taxation ny way of subsidies to tho owners of ships, under the miserable pretense of encouraging the very commerce that the nrst robbery drove from our ports.
