BEHRING SEA MATTERS, Presidents Message Transmitting Late Correspondence. It Dbelosn t Crave Stluitton-Lord Salisbury's Position Sharply Criticised by the President—Host Will It All End? Washington, March 35.—The following is the full text of the late correspondence between the United States and Great Britain respecting the Behring sea controversy: To the Senate: I herewith transmit, in connection with senate executive document No. 55, Fifty-second Congress, first session, copies of further correspondence between this government and the government of her Britannic majesty, concerning the jurisdictional rights of the United States in the waters of the Behring sea, and concerning also the preservation of the fur seal ih and habitually resorting to the said sea and the rights of the citiaens addjsobjects of either country as regards the taking of fur seal In or habitually resorting to the said waters. (Signed.] Benj. Harrison, Executive Mansion, Washington, March 23, 1882. Sir Julian Panncefote to Mr. Hlatne. (This note should have accompanied the message of the president to the senate of March 9, 1888, hut having been mislaid it failed to be communicated to that body. It is a reply to Mr Blaine's note of February 12, 1S9?, which appears on page 88 of the senate executive document No. 55, Fifty-second congress, first ses ■don.) British Legation. I Washington, D. C .Feb. 13.1892. ( Dear Mr. Blaine: In reply to jronr letter of yesterday I beg to state that iu mv opinion the British commissioners are right in holding that they have no power uuder their present mandate to discuss the question of a modus vivendi for the next fishery season. Their authority is limited by the terma of the joint commission agreement which we signed on the 18th of December last. That authority is confined to reportipg their views on what fishery regulations Of a permanent character may be necessary With a view to arbitration. The question bf a modus vivendi, pending the result of the arbitration, is one for the two governments to discuss. I have certainly urged as an additional reason tor the early meeting of the joint commission, that its reports would furnish valuable materials for such discussion: but it can hardly be contended that the commissioners can properly deal with such a question without special authority from their respective governments. I communicated to Lord Salisbury the proposal you made to me at our interview of the 2d inst., tii't our two governments should agree to a modus vivendi, and I am awaiting his lordship’s reply. I remain, etc. * (Signed.] Julian Pauncefotb.

Sir Julian Paunecfote to Mr. Wharton. Washington, D. C., March 19,1893. V Sis: On receipt of your note of the 8th list, f immediately telegraph*! to tha marquis of< Salisbury the substance of its contents in accordance with the request which you expressed on the behalf of the president, and I havo now the honor to inform you tla: I have this day received a reply from his lordship, by telegram, to the following effect: Lord Salisbury again points out th^ the information in the possession of her n*esty’s government dees not lead them to •believe that another year’s suspension of sealing is necessary to prevent an endue diminution of the seal herds. His lordship, however, proceeds to observe that beyond thi3 question it is considered by your government that they havo a right to be protected from the loss which they may incur from free sealing being permitted this year in the event of their claim to Behring sea being upheld by the arbitrators. He states that her majesty's government don't dispute that after the ratification of the convention there will be some foundation for this contention; but he adds that tho prohibition of all sealing as a remedy has this defect, that the British sealers excluded ■ from. Behring sea, would havo an undoubted ground or complaint if the British claim should be upheld by the arbitrators. Moreover there is no security that the arbitration will he concluded before the sealing season of 1893. Thus an arbitration between Great Britain, the United States and Portugal, which has already occupied fonr years is still pending. Serious damage would be caused to the industry by a suspension of sealing for a long period. In viow of nil the above considerations it appears to her majesty’s government that it would he equitable to provide that sealing in Behring sea shall continue on the condition that the owner of every sealing vessel shall give security for satisfying any damages which the a: bitrators may adjudge. I shall be glad to learn that the above suggestions meet with the concurrence of yonr government. 1 have the honor, etc. (Signed.] Julian Pauncefotb. Mr. Wharton to Sir Julian Pauneefote. Department of State, ) ■Washington, March 21,1893. | Sib : I am directed by the president to say that your note.dated the )9th inst.. and delivered on the 20th inst. (Sunday) has had hi3 immediate attention in view of what he deems to be the extreme urgency and gravity of the matter under discussion. The urgency \grows out of the fact that much " further! protraction of this discussion will make any modus that may be agreed upon ineffectual to protect the interests of the United States and will give to tho Canadian sealers practical immunity by reason of the impossibility of communicating to them the agreed restrictions. It is known to this government that tho sealers havo hastened their departure to escape notice of a possible modus,and that every day, alm v t. adds to the fleet that must now be overhauled at sea. Already forty-seven Canadian vessels have cleared for the sealing grounds (as against thirty-one at the same date last year), ami are engaged in following up and dest roying the seal herds. These vessels will, if not stopped, end turned back at the passes, go into the Behring sea and pnrsue to the very shores of our islands the slaughter of the mother seals seeking the accustomed rookeries to be delivered of their young. This is a crime against nature. This government expects to show, if the arbitration proceeds, that female seals constitute the larger per cent, of the catch of the pelagic sealers. That in view of this serions and confident contention of this government his lordship should assume that another year's suspension of snch sealinfr is not necessary ‘to prevent an undue diminution of the §gal herds,’ and should insist that pending an arbitration it shall go on. precisely as if no arbitration had been agreed upon, is as surprising as it is disappointing. If her majesty's government so little respects the claims and contentions of this government as to he nnwilling to forbear for a single season to disregard them, the president cannot understand why Lord Salisbnry should hays proposed and agreed to give to these claims the dignity and standing which a reference to a court of arbitration implies. From the lent an arbitration was agreed upon, “neither party was at liberty to disregard the •“contentions of tho other. It must he assumed that the sincere purpose of the two governments wa3 to promote peace and good will, bnt it, pending the arbitration, either deals with the subject of it solely upon tho basis or its own contention and in ntterdisregard of the claims of tho other, this friendly end is not only not attained but a new sense of injury and injustice is added, even if it should he found possible to proceed with an arbitration under such conditions. For it must not be forgotten that if her majesty's government proceeds during this sealing season npon the basis of its contention as to the rights of the Canadian sealers, no choice is left to this government bn to proceed npon the basis of its confident contention that pelagic sealing in the Behring sea is an infraction of its jurisdiction and property rights. His lordship will hardly fail!o see this. Hereto, in the opinion of the president, consists the gravity of the present situation, and be is not wilting to he found in any degree responsible for tho results that may follow the insistence by either government during this season upon the extreme rights claimed by it. In his opinion it would discredit in the eyes of the world the two great governments involved if the paltry profits of a single season should ho allowed to thwart or even to disturb the honorable and friendly adjustment of thiidffarenee, which is so nearly concluded, But if his lordship shall adhere to bis refusal to unite with-us in prompt and affective measum, to stop pelagic sealing and shall insist npon fra) sealing for British subjects, tho question, as it offsets this goveraBritish Legation. )

from the island catch, but to Hmit the taking jl deals to the paces aties of the natives of those islands: and it cannot consent that with indent • nity or without the contested rights of British subjects to catch seals in the Behring sea shall be exercised pending the arbitration. Tho president finds it ditficblt to believe that Lord Saltebary is serious in proposing that this government shall take separata boads from the owners of about ICO Canadian sealing vessels to indemnify it for the injury they may severally inflict upon oar jurisdiction or property, and mast decline to d iecuss a suggestion which only has respect for Lord Salisbury and his belief that his lordship has a due appreciat ion of the gravity of this discussion to enable h«n to treat it with seriousness. We should doubtless have to pursue and captore upon the sea many of th»owaar3 of thou vessels to secure the bonds suggested, and as the condition is to be that the obligors shall pay “any damages which the arbitrators may adjudge,” while the treaty gives the arbitrators no power to adjudge any demand, the transaction would be without responsibility to the obligors’ and without value to us. This government cannot consist to have what it believes its rights destroyed, pending the termination by aid agreed tribunal, however adequate the security offered. The reference in my last note to' the iacoUsidency of her majesty’s government ia denying responsibility for the acts ol the Canadian sealers was not intended to suggest a yHilingdess bn our part under any circumstances to see our property converted into a claim for damages, and particularly as each a claim cannot now be heard or dotermined by the arbitrators without a reformation of tha treaty; for his lordship must remember that while hs now off.era what he mistakenly calls "security for satisfying any damages which tho arbitrators may adjudge,” hj has already carried his point in the treaty that the arbitrators shall have no jurisdiction to Award any damages. As to his lordship’s suggestion that Canadian sealers may have some claim for compensation if Great Britain shall restrain pelagic sealing, the president directs me to say that he is not able to see how the citizens or subjects of either of tho treaty powers can by any rnl9 of law or equity support any claim against their respective governments growing out of such uecossary trade restraints as the governments may lawfully impose to promote the larger considerations of public good and international peace. The suggestion that the conclusions of the boatd of arbitration may not b> reached and announced hi time to govern the conduct of tbs parties during the season of 1S93. is. 1 think, fully provided against in the treaty itself. His lordship is mistaken as to the time that has lapsed since the signing of the De’agoa Bay agreement with Portugal. It is not four years old, but lejs than one, the date of signing being Jnne 13.1891. If tho present treaty is promptly ratified and exchanged out mutual interest would be a simple guarantee against delay. The president has found no obstacle in the stay of such consummation except tho belief, noW unfortunately vary prevalent -hire, that the refusal of Great Britiaa to agree to the preservation of thi^latus quo of the property during the arbitration, and her insistence that pelagic sealing shall go on to the injury, if not destruction of onr rights, larg >ly defeats the object of the treaty.

i u (ut.Tomtrui uio anj *n wuv ivwiuu that the modus ot last year is the least that this government can .accept. In reason, the restraints after a treaty of arbitration should be more absolute, o*-t loss. Ho does not desire to protract this discussion and having now in ths most friendly spirit submitted the considerations which support the just demand of this government shat the property which is the subject of an agreed arbitration shall not be subjected to spoliation pea ling the arbitration, he expresses the hope that Lord Salisbury will Hve a prompt and friendly assent to renew the modiis. The president will hear with regret that her majesty’a government continues to assart a right to deal with this subj:ct precisely as if no provision had been made for a settlement of the dispute; and in that event, this government, as has already been pointed ont, will be compiled to deal with ths subject upon the same basis and to use every power to protect from destruction or serious' injury to property and jurisdictional rights which it hits Idng claimed and enjoyed. I have the honor to he, with the highest consideration, sir, your obedient servant. (Signed! Wtt F. Whartox, Acting Secretary. ABRUPTLY ENDED.

MORE DYNAMITE. .4 Taf'tee Explosion of Dynamite at thn Hoii o of M. Boalot, l’ciblic Prosecutor in P irls-^Hooses for an Eight of a SIU» Hooked as If by an Earthquake—Several Persons Injured by Behig Thrown Down by the Shook Paiis, March 3$.—There was a terrific explosion of dynamite ^yesterday morning' at 89 Rue Cliehy, the home of M. liculot, the pabiie prosecutor. The attempt was against his life; which has been threatened repeatedly lately by anarchists. The police say that at least eight pounds of dynamite* must ha ire lieeh used. The effect of the explosion was indescribable. Houses for an eighth of a mi|e on every side of No. 89 were rocked as if by an earthquake. All windows were shattered in the neighborhood and walls of the strongest buildings in the immediate - vieinity were cracked and bulged. No. 89 is a wreck. The explosion, ivJtieh is thought to have taken place in the gronnd hallway, blew the Stairway to splinters so that the panicstricken Inmates had to be helped down front the upper floors with ladders. The furniture throughout the house was thrown into heaps and against walls so that not a whole chair or table remains. The windows and frames and all Were blown out completely, and bricks were driven from their place and dropped to the street. The plastering was stripped clean from all walls and ceilings. Seven persons were injured by the explosion: four by being thrown from * chairs on which they were sitting: and three from falling debris. M. lloulot, w’ho lived on the fifth floor, is said to have escaped without injury. The theory that the anarchists have been preparing the infernal machines and dynamite bombs already discovered for May 1, has been abandoned. The police tut* convinced that they have begun a war of extermination of all persons in office who have antagonized them, so as to frighten magistrates out erf connoting their comrades apprehended in crime. A leading anarchist Interviewed by a French reporter, on condition that Shis name should be withheld, expressed the programme of his comrades thus:

“Thcjsarehists, as they are showing1, have in then* hands the means of-secur-ing immunity from the courts and public officials. These means consist in holding personally responsible every individul who assists In convicting them. .Magistrates are mortal and amenable to fear. To give them the necessary lessons as in the ease of Mr. Bencit, i t will be indispensible to blow up the house of every judge or publie prosecutor who has assisted recently in sending anarchists to prison. After we have treated a few magistrates and prosecuting attorneys in this way. not a judge or lawyer will dare to risk the conviction of an anarchist, as he will know that such a conviction is his own death Wnrrant and perhaps the death warrant of his whole family. ‘‘The method is easy and not dangerous, as we have allies in every neighborhood who are ready to facilitate the escape ofi, the perpetrators of such an act of justice. The police have not caught any of the men who were responsible fc-r the two last explosions, although they think they have. IVe do not intend to make the innocent suffer with the guilty, and so we warn people not to live in houses with persons who are active in' prosecuting us. AYe wish to make-it so that the judges and lawyers who prosecute us will -be obliged •to live alone and landlords will refuse to rent property to them for fear «ft our vengeance. AArhen we can make, our persecutors the pariahs of soeiety in this way ive shall have taken a long step towards the revolution.” . UNDER THE WHEELS.
