BERING SEA’S SEAL FUR. Tqß WASHINGTON GOVEENMENT THOROUGHLY AROUSiD. A Lively Discussion In tbs Senate’s Executive Session as to the Ratifica tion of the Arbitration Treaty —a Beport from the Committee on For eign Relations Recommending Its ratification. Washington, Maroh 24.—1 t seems sin gular wilt a grave emergency confronting j t and affairs of state trembling in the bal ance, tbe United States Senate should lose sight of the real issues of the moment and turn to scolding the newspapers for printing ne ws of matter in which the people have a legitimate interest. Yet, such is the fact, and a large part of the time during which the Senate has been in executive or secret session during the past few days supposed to be devoting itself to tbe discharge of high functions as an advisory body to the President, has really been devoted to querulous complaints of news paper enterprise, mutual recrimination for suspected betrayal of secrets, and searches for tbe hidden channels throughout which the press obtains its information. To-day’s session was no exception to the rule and tho Senate, closing its doors, resorted to the unprecedented device of ordering the with drawal of all of the heretofore trusted em ployes from the chamber except [Secretary McCook, but including Capt. Bassett, who sat outside for the first time in fifty years' service, THE BERING SEA TREATY. The Bering sea arbitration treaty came before the Senate in tbe shape of a report from the committee on foreign relations re commending its ratification. Senator Sher man, who made the report, supported it In n argument bristling with reasons for the proposed action. He pointed to the advan tage that would aocrue to the United States from a diplomatic standpoint though our ready acquiescence in the submission of tne questions at issue to arbitration and showed how Great Britain by her re fusal to consent to a renewal of the modus vivendi would be placed in an unenviable light before the nations of tho world as guilty of double dealings and an improper purpose in sanctioning the destruction of the very subjeot of arbitration. Attention was also called to Lord Salisbury’s saroastio allusion to tbe faot that the treaty has not yet been ratified. Other members of the committee on foreign relations spoke in a similar strain. AN IMPORTANT RESOLUTION. The main topio of disoussion, however, was not the treaty Itself, but a significant resolution reported by Mr. Sherman from the committee on foreign rela tions to accompany it. This resolution wms in the nature of an iudoraement of the atti tude assumed by the President in the pend ing contention, and, in substance, assures him of the support of the Senate in bis expressed propose to defend American rights to the lull extent of the national power. The dis cussion of this resolution occupied the groiter part of the session. While there might be some reason to doubt the ultimate fate of the treaty, there can be none as to tho resolution. The resolution was free from any “jingoism,” but revealed a quiet and settled determination on tho part of the Senate to maintain the dignity of the nation and protect its rights. There was no belief that war would result from the present estrangement, and for the second time this session there was expressed the idea that as Great Britain appeared to be stopped from action acoordiug to her own best enterests and principles of ooinmon justice through deference to the sentiment of Canada, it would be well to administer to the latter, in the event of further trouble from the seal question, a salutary lesson by the withdrawal of that priceless concession, the privilege of free shipment of products and goods through the United States. As already indicated, there was no aotion taken to-day on the subject. The opponents of the treaty, who are principally western men, again voiced their objections to the surrender of our acquired rights, and the indications aro that after further discussion the treaty will be ratified. Any idea that the liering sea complications are being used as a means of affecting political issues in the United States would be immediately negatived by the attitude assumed by the democratic senators who were, if possible, even more ardent than their colleagues in arguing to day tor most hearty support of the executive. At the conclusion of the session the last communications that have pussad between the government of the United States and tho government of Great Britain were given out for publication. At the conclusion of the executive ses sion of the Senate to-day, which lasted four hours, the correspondence received yester day from the President relative to Bering sea was made publlo. It comprises two communications as follows: SIR PAUNCEFOTE TO MR. WHARTON. British Legation, ( Washington. March 19, 1892.) Sm—On receipt of your note of March 8 1 im rneiiately telegraphed to the Marquis of Salis bury the substance of its contents in accord ance with tne request which you expressed on Behalf of the President, and I have now the honor to inform you that I have this day re ceived a reply from his lordship by telegraph to the following effect: Lord Salisbury again points out that tie information la possession ™ her majesty’s government does not lead them to believe that another year's sus pension of sealing is necessary to prevent an undue diminution of the seal herds. His lord ship, however, proceeds to observe that beyond this question it is considered by your govern ment that they have 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 Bering sea being upheld by the arbitrators. He states that her majesty’s government does not oisputo that after the ratification ot the convention there will be some foundation for this contention, but be a ids that prohibi tion of all sealing as a remedy has this defect, that British sealers excluded from Bering sea v'liild have an undoubted ground of complaint It the British claim should be upheld by tho arbitrators. Moreover, there is no security that we arbitration will be concluded before the pa mg season of 1893. Thus an arbitration be p Great Britain, the United States and Portugal, which has already occupied four tears, i s still pending. Serious damage would ™ caused to the industry by a suspension of tling for a long period. In view of all the ae considerations, it appears to her majesty’s i* T T? ment that wou ld be more equitable to v ride that sealing In Bering sea shall oon ‘“us on condition tbat the owner of every veil vess el shall gi\e security for satisfying any “•' ages which the arbitrators may adjudge, mall be glad to learn that the above vffstion meets with the concurrence of your ••'eminent. I have the honor, etc. Julian Pauncreot*. MR. WHARTON TO SIR PAUNCkFOTE. Department of State, I , 'Washington. D. C., March 22, 1892.

It , must be assumed that tbe sincere purpose of the two governments was to pro i mote peace and good will, but if pending arbi tration, cither d-a:s witn the subject of it solely upon the basis of its own contention and in ut j ter disregard of the claims of tbe other, this friendly end is not only not attained, but anew senaa of injury and injustice is added, even if it should be round possible to proreed with an ar bitration uo4er such conditions, for it must not ho forgotten that if hr majesty’s govern ment proceeds during this sealing reason upon tbe basis of its contention as to the right of Canadian sealers, no c.ioioo Is left to this government but to proceed upon the basis of its confident contention tnat pelagic sealing in liering sea is an infraction of its jurisdiction an 1 property rights. His lordship will hard y fall to see this Herein, in the opinion of the Presi dent, consists the gravity of the present situation, and he is not willing to be found in any degree re sponsible for the results that may follow the insistence by either government during this season upon the extreme right? claimed by it. WOULD DISCREDIT BOTH GOVERNMENTS. In bis opinion it would discredit in the eyes of tbs world the two great government* involved if the paltry profits of a single season should be allowed to thwart or even to disturb the honorable and friendly adjustment oi their differences, which is so nearly concluded; but if hie lordship wall adhere to his refusal to unite with us in prompt and effective measures to stop pelagic sealing and shall insist upon free sealing for British subjects, tbe question, as it affects this government, is no longer one of pecuniary loss or gain, but one of honor aud self-respect. This government, notwithstanding the fact that its right to take seaht upon the Prlbylov Islanda is undisputed and wholly uninvolved in arbitra tion, has proposed to take no profit from the island catch, but to limit the takiug of aeals to the necessities of the natives of those islands, and it cannot consent that, with indemnity or without, tho contested rights of British subjects to catch seals in Bering sea shall be exercised pending arbitration. Salisbury’s stranoe proposition . The President finds It difficult to believe that Lord (Salisbury Issxious in proposing that this government shall take separate bunds from the owners of about 100 Canadian sealing vessels to indemnify It for the injury they may severally indict upon our jurisdiction or property, and must decline to discuss the suggestion which only his respect for* Lord Salisbury and ids belief that bis lordship has due appreciation of the gravity of the discussion enable him to treat it with seriousness. We would doubtless have to pur sue and capture upon the sea many owners ■ f these vessels to secure the bonds suggested, and as a condition is that the obligors shall pay "any damages which the arbitrators may ad judge," while tbe treaty gives the arbitrators no power to adjudge any damages, tbe trans action would be without risk to the obligors and of no value to us. This govern ment cannot consent to have what it believes to be its rights destroyed or impaired pending their determina tion by an agreed tribunal, however adequate the security offered. The reference in my last note to the Inconsistency of her majesty’s gov ernment in denying responsibility for the acts of Canadian eahrs, was not intended to sug gest a willingness on our part under any cir cumstances to see our property converted into a claim for damages, and particularly as such a claim cannot now be heard or determined by the arbitrators without reformation or treaty, for his lordship must retnembor that while lie now offers what he mistakenly calls "security for satisfying any damages whioh the arbi trators may adjudge," he has already carried his point In the treaty that the aroitration shall have no jurisdiction to award any damages. As to his lordship’s sug gestion, that i anadlan sealers may have time claim for eompensatinn if Great Britain shall restrain pelagic sealing the President directs me to say that he is not able to see how citizens or subjects of either of the treaty’ powers con by any rule of law or equity support any claim against their respective governments, growing out of such necessary trade restraints as the governments may lawfully impose to promote larger conditions of public good and interna tional pooce. Tho suggestion that the conclusions of the board of arbitration may not be reached, and announced in time to govern the conduct of the parties during the season of 1893 is, I think, fully provided agaiust by the treaty Itself. His lordship is mistaken as to the time that has elapsed since the signing of the Delagoa bay agreement with Portugal. It is not four years old, but less than one, tho date of signing being June 13, 1881. If the present treaty is promptly ratified and exchanged, our mutual interest would be an ample guarantee against delay. The President has found no obstacle iu the way of such a consummation except the belief now unfortunately prevalent here that the refusal of Great Britain to agree to tho preservation of the status quo of the property during the arbi tration. and her insistence that pelagic sealing shall go on to the injury, if not the destruction, of our rights, largely defeats the object of tha treaty. The President directs mo to say in oon elusion that the modus of last year is the least that this government can accept. In reason, tlio restraints, after tho treaty of arbitration, should be more absolute, not less. He does not desire to protract this discus sion, and having now in a most friendly spirit submitted the considerations which support the just demand of this govern ment that property which is the subject of an agreed arbitration shall not Me subject to spolia tion pending arbitration, he expresses a hope that Lord Salisbury will give prompt and friendly assent to renew the modus The Prest dent will hear with regret that her majesty's government continues to assert the right to deal with this subject 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 out. will be compelled to doal with the subjeot upon the same basis, aud to use every means in its power to protect from destruction or serious injury the property and jurisdictional rights which it has long claimed and enjoyed I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, sir, your obedient servant, William F. Wharton, Acting Secretary. The President transmitter! the cor respondence to congress without comment. MOVEMENTS OF BRITISH WARS HI PS. London, March 24.—A dispatch from Victoria, B. C., to Reuter's Telegram Agency says it is reported that Hear Admiral Hol man, commaudar-in-chief of the British station, sent a cable dispatch to Esquimau that the warships Nelpomene, Champion and Warprite have started for Esquimau, and that they will reach there on May 1, two months earlier than tbe time previously arranged for arrival. The War spite and Melpomene are now in Chilean waters. This sudden change in tho disposi tion of the slilps has caus’d no little com ment, and is taken to indicate a serious phase in the Bering sea dispute. CAUSING UNEASINESS. London, March 25, 3 a. m.— The Times says; "The possibility of furtner complica tions with America over the Bering sea question Is oausing uneasiness among members of the House of Commons who have special knowledge of Ameri can affairs. Frivate Information has been received to the effect that the American Heuate and President are In an uncom promising frame of mind and are deter mined to accept none of the alternatives whioh Lord Salisbury proposes. If the modus vivendi is not restored it is believed America will hurry men-of-war to Bering sea and sweep off the Canadian sealers.” FEARS A WARLIKE INTENT. The Standard says: “It will certainly strike most people that the attitude of the American government is difficult to recon cile with a belief in the force and validity of its contention. Huspiclon arises that arbitration is scarcely wnat it can be aimed at by such high-handed negotiations. If President Hui risen thinks arbitration will go iu hi* favor, why hesitate to accept Lord Salisbury's offer. England earnestly desires to be friendly, but cunnot abandon bur interest In her colonies be cause America hat acquired tbe habit of thinking tbat its views of a controversy must always prevail.” The Times, ia a leader on tbe dispute, sayi; “it is to thssredlt of tbs American people that they have not responded to lbs noisy protests of their public men. It I* lithor remarkable after so many years' ex porieDM that tbs party leader* should still dnern it profitable to beat • big drum on every possible 00-osiou and t< ask olhsr nations, *p#<naily Great H Haiti, to tread vu ths tali of lUslr coal.

On the other hand, if the deciaion is odverae to the American claim, as most people ocquainted with international law expe rt, there will boa means, as matters now stand, of securing compensation for the injury done to British tailors by the suspension of fishing In 1891, while a renewal of the iuterdlot will cause much heavier losses." Commenting on the danger of bringing British and American fleets in proximity, the Times says it is only too likely to bring them into conflict, and con cludes: "Tail twisting may be popular sport, but a serious quarrel with England ia not likely to assist Mr. Harrison In hie presidential campaign.” THE PEOPLE’S PAHTY. No Longer Any Doubt of Its Activity In Georgia. Atlanta, Ga., March 24.—There can no longer be doubt concerning tbe activity of the People’s party in Georgia. And It is equally evident tbat the movoment Is being generally indorsed by the alliance. To-day the People’s party paper, published in this city, comes, and with over two pages, fourteen columns, covered with resolutions passed by alliance organizations indorsing the St Louis con vention aud the People’s party. It is an nounced that the publication of these reso lutions will be continued next week, ns the entire paper could not be given up to them, and following is a specimen of tbe reso lutions: OOLETHORPK COUNTY. As tho peasantry of America, who own only one-fourth of the property, who pay overthree fourths of the tax and are oppressed in many ways, has often asked the millionaire Senate and capitalistic members of the House for re lief, who have as often turned a deaf ear to their request; therefore, be it Hesolveti, By Oak Grove Alliance No. 1,002, of Oglethorpe county, that we have been looking for a party that had a foundation whose build ers and makers were conservative, and as we are a unit on the Ocala platform, and the St. Louis convention, which was composed of the working classes, did Indorse the ucala plat form and resolve themselves into anew party.fknown as the People’s party, a name nrosd enough for everybody; its principles equal rights to all. 2. We pledge our allegiance to the People’s party. 3. That we ask the Southern Alliance Farmer and People’s party paper to publish the same. G. C. Bugg, Piedderu. W. R. Ellis, Secretary. A big edition of Tom Watson’s address to tbe people, published last woen, has been printed in circular form and Is being scat tered throughout tho state. Other People’s party literature is being preparei, and will be sent out as fast as possible. The People’s party boomers is making a tremendous effort to swamp the democracy of Georgia. THE QUARTERMAN MYSTERY. Rewards Offered for His Discovery or That of His Murderers. Atlanta, Ga., Maroh 24.—Mystery still surrounds the disappearance of young Quar torruan in Coffee county. The governor has received a letter from a number of citizens of Douglass, in whioh it is stated that the citizens made up a reward of 8750 for the apprehension of the party or parties who committed the robbery and murder, the theory being that Quarterman was either murdered or being held for ransom by his captors. Tha names of the eighteen citizens who guaranteed the $750 were signed to the letter received by Gov. Northen to-dny, as also the signatures of the judge and clerk of the superior court of Coffee county, with the clerk’s official seal as an evidence of its genuineness. Gov. Northen supplemented the citizens’ reward with a reward of S3OO by the state in case Quarterman was murdered, and S2OO if he is found to be alive. CULPEPPER THR3ATENED. White Caps Order Him to Leave Brunswick Under Penalty. Brunswick, Ga., March 24—Evangelist Culpepper to-day received a threatening letter from White Caps ordering him to leave town. Rev. Culpepper slays, how ever. Rev. Culpopper and a number of ministers are conducting a war against sin in Brunswick and using severe language. Some people are offended, and one night they endeavored to bum bis tent. The White Cap letter is another evidence of the intense feeling in certain quarters against tbe guspel meetings. Many church mem bers indorse Rev. Culpepper and nis work, and will make It hot for tbe perpetrators of these continued outrages if they are caught. QUEER THING ABOUT BANKS. They Give the Depooltor Very Slight Evidence of Their Debt to Him. Prom the Chicago Tribune. “Did you ever give any particular thought to how insignificant and in formal is the evidenoe of debt which a bank gives Its regular de positors in return for the large sums of money the depositors leave with them!” asked the head of a big mercantile house, as he glanced at the entry just made in the firm’s bank book which a clerk had returned with, “For tbe $3,073 in gold and currency to say nothing of the $5,203 20 in drafts and silver, which wo left with the bank just now all we got in return were six figures and the dato; no promise to pay—not even an I. 0.

Working by electric ligbs in the desert of Africa with power furnished by coal coat ing srio a too, was the novel subject dis cussed yesterday'at the Leland by George D. Loagstreet, an English mining engiueer, who, for ten years subsequent to the dis covery of diamonds in South Africa, was ■nperintendeut of the work carried on at Kimberly by the British Diamond Mining Company. ‘ 'The control of the Rothschilds,'' said Mr. Longstreet, "is entirely due to the over capitalization of the original com panies. Some of them were cipitalizsd as high as $25,000,000. Speculation in dia monds had something to do with our fail ure. My fathers,' for instauoe, made and lost a half dozen times in a few years a tor tuue of $500,000. The result of it all was that the sheriff appeared, aud the Roths childs bought in. They are now limiting the production to tbe demar.d; diamonds will never go down in price, and the days | of romance of South Africa diamond min ing are past forever. In those days the mines were divided Into little allotments of thirty feet square, and each of these was sold to a corporation for ssoo,ooo—a neat sum for a piece of laud searcely large enough to put a shanty on. I have seen 1,500 inen working for one company, and in one mine as many as 10,000 naked Zulus, whose work, oddly enough, was carried on by electric light withiu a year after it was invented. “In those days our chief difficulty was to prevent the thefts of the workmen. • Wo had an overseer for every five men, and yet the beggars managed to steal large numbers of diamonds. They would conceal them in their mouths, between tbeir toes, and in the moat unimaginable places. These Zulus have but one fault—they are born thieves. They are not negroes, but the remains of some magnificent ancient civilization. They are the finest ace physically and mentally that 1 have ever known. Their language is musical aud has great power of poetic ex plosion. Some forms of it are purely Greek. “Their origin is a mystery, but from their legends I imagine that their ancestors knew the mines from which came tbe gold for Kiug Solomon’s temple, and that the biblical Quson of Sheba wos their sover eign. All the tales of Ride. Haggard,whom I knew in South Africa, I have heard often from the Bps of the native Zulus. “The mines are four in number, the Kim berly mine proper being but one of these. It is 700 feet deep and the 10,000 men at work in it look like mere pigmies. It was originally all one hill formed by some gigantic volcanic action from below. Long before the chimney was dug a few diamonds were washed from this hill into the stream where they were discovered. It is thus that they have been found in other countries. The true formation has never been discovered in Brazil or else where. It is ray theory, however, that wherever diamonds are thus found their formation must exist some were near. They have been found thus in North Carolina, Montaua and elsewhere in the United States, and some day aocual diamond mines will be worked in these regions, if my theory is oorrect. At Kim berly the diamonds were embedded in a strange bard mud, whioh ha i to be blasted with dynamite before it could bo brought up. Tons of this wore then carried off to one side aud allowed to remain a year before the precious stones could be secured. We could not use crushing machines, for they would crush the diamonds as well as the earth, so tbat we had to depend upon the sun and the rain to disintegrate the mass into dust. “There is a popular belief that tho Kohi noor, or ‘Mountain of Light,’in the crown jewels of England, is the largest diamond knowni This is an orror. It has been cut twice, and is a midget compared with a score of others. I have seen stones of as much as 4fit) carats, but they are not worth as much per cent as those of only tbrre or four. There is no oue who would wear such huge things, and they have no use except as exhibits. “The most beautiful diamond by far that I have over seen was the one found at Kim berly by a little American named Porter Rhodes. I paid .25 just to look at it. The sight was a liberal education for a diamond expert. He afterwards sold it to the Countess of Dudley for $500,000. Labou chere gave an amtiHed account in Truth of his efforts to sell it to the queen. It was lost once before it left Africa, and Rhodes gave the Zulu who roturned it a reward of $75,000. *’The jewelers endeavor to oonvince tha public that the Brazilian diamonds aro far superior to those of South Africa, and in deed there Is a popular belief to that effect. It is a fallacy. It makes absolutely no dif ference in tbe value of a diamond where It comes from. A diamond is pure oarbou. It can be nothing more nor less or it is not a diamond. The value depends almost en tirely upon the geometrical accuracy with which it (s cut. The fact that a thousand are found in Africa to one in Brazil can have no iufluenoo on the value of the dia monds from either oountry, American jewelers to the contrary,’’ SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

The Most Dangerous of Modern disorders < (early Ik-Bond—Pneumonia and Wkat Causes It. There has been a groat mistake as to what pneumonia really is. People, and even some physicians, hare oalled it a dangerous disease. Pneumonia Is always an after effect. If the sys tem is run down, weakened, debilitated, if the life is at a low ebb, the lungs may fill up and the person die suddenly, and It is called pneu monia. No man or woman ever died of pneu monia when the body was strong, vigorous and healthy. It comes upon one when weakened by grip, by a severe cold or overwork and a gener ally weakened condition. Such being the caae. how oan this dreadful trouble known as pneu monia be prevented or warded off! Manifestly, by •strengthening and fortifying the body by having the health and strength so secure that poeumonia will not attack, or if it should, can easily be warded off. This can be done by care ful living, careful diet and a moderate use oi a pure stimulant. To gently assist nature a stimu lent Is required, something that adds to the life and vigor Nothing for this purpose can equal pure whiskey, and it should be borne in mind that the only pure medicinal whiskey whioh has received the unqualified indorsement of physi cians and scientists is Duffy’s Pure Malt.
