TbevPresWent Braparine a Special If ooaage to Ctongreea THE IIITISH OVERTURES REJECTED. The Necessary Xeaas Beaufred to Expel the British 8ealers-If Refused the Fresl- eat Will Beeyea Negotiations For a Settlement. Washington, Dec. 21. President Harrison expects to accompany his transmission to Congress of the further papers relating to the Behring sea con troversy with a special message of some length. In this message he vrill express in language of his own selection, bis views respecting the rights and claims of the United States connected with the seal fishery, the comparative merits of the conduct and position of the two Governments since the first seizures in 1880 and the duty of Congress in the present position of the question. The message will be framed with es pecial reference to the now pending proposal of the British Government for an arbitration, which proposal it is in tended to reject before any communica- tkra is made to Congress. The rejection of the proposal will effect a practical, if not complete, suspension of diplomatic efforts for a settlement, there being no expectation that either Government will bring forward any effort for a renewal of negotiations after the impending re jection of the British tender of arbitra tion has been announced by Mr. Blaine to Sir Julian Pauncefote. The personal bitterness between Mr. Blaine and Lord Salisbury, said to have arisen out of the course of the negotia tions, is perceived here to constitute a material obstruction to a continuance of efforts toward settlement, and espe cially after tbe diplomatic relations be tween the two Governments shall have been further strained by the energetic manner .in which Mr. Blaine is prepar ing to show up the hollowness and un fairness of the British arbitration project It is because of the seeming hopeless ness of the prospect of a settlement by peaceful means, a necessity of almost insiant resolving upuu a uuvr cuunsc m conduct for the United States, that the President has determined to lay the matter before Congress -and to apply for legislative assistance in shaping and enforcing the policy of tbe immediate future. The British proposal, as already stated, is to refer to the determination of a friendly and impartial arbitration the question whether the seizure of British .sealing vessels by the United States in ISSG, 1S7 and 1S8 were or were not lawful seizures. To this form of proposed submission of the case to arbitration the President strenu ously objects, and he will never agree to it unless Congress shall assume the responsibility in some mode of yield ing adherence to it. The principal ground, however, is that such a form of submission would preclude the arbi trator from giving effect in bis decision otherwise than argumentative or col laterally to those duties of comity and good neighborhood which, arc owed by Great Britain to the United States in re spect to seal fisheries of Behring sea. Those duties, as the President con ceives them, arise partly ont of the natural and partly out of the historical conditions of the case, and he will neither ask nor accept the award of an arbitrator upon the controversy unless Great Britain distinctly agrees in the articles of submission that the legality of the seizures shall depend, so far as in reason and justice it ought, upon a consideration of those circumstances and conditions. The non-disturbance of the protective right assumed by this country over the Behr ing Sea seal fishery for nearly twenty years alter tne cession ot Alaska is greatly relied upon by the President to establish the right of the United States, and he will not agree to an arbitration that does not permit weight to be di rectly given to his acquiescence in American jurisdiction. The President will give Congress dis tinctly to understand that in the present state of the matter he perceives neither authority nor reason to abstain next season from a literal enforcement of the provisions of the law for the protec tion of the fur seal in Alaska and the waters thereof. He will ask Congress for a liberal appropriation to meet the expense of fitting out vessels to serve as revenue vessels in sufficient number and character to capture and disperse the numerous marauding vessels ex pected to enter Behring sea next June and July. If Congress grants an appli cation for the enforcement of the seal ing law in the Behring sea, the rest will accept such action as a pledge of resist ance to the uttermost, if Lord Salisbury should so far force this issue. If no appropriation is granted or, if the debate shows a controlling indispo sition to proceed to war on the seal question, the revenue vessels will be in structed simply to warn foreign sealing vessels next season, but not to lay hands upon them. And in that case the Presi dent will feel it incumbent upon him to facilitate the resumption of negotia tions for the purpose of ascertaining the best terms of settlement that can be ex torted from the British for a termina tion of the controversy. Personally the President believes in fighting the matter to an end next season, but the gravity of the possible consequences forbids him to commit the Government to an irrevocable course without first obtaining the opinion and sanction of Congress. The Argentine Finances. Buenos Ayres, Dec. 21. Parliament has commenced debate on the proposals of the Minister of Finance.

Trade Somewhat Better, Hut Financial Un certainty itlll a Disturbing Feature Fallures. New York, Dec. 20. R. G. Dun& Co.s Weekly Review of Trade says: Business continues largo for the season, but there is perceptibly less feeling of confidence. The causes ap pear to be: First, prospect of important monetary legislation, tho effects of which arc not clearly foreseon: second, frequent failures andgreaterdilllculties in making collections: and third, less satisfactory collections in some large branches of industry. Probably more people are affected, as business undertakings often show, by un- certainty about financial legislation and its effects than by any other cause. Though tho rato for money on call is lower than a week ago and money is easier at Boston and Philadelphia, there is still stringency at most points throughout the countiy. Complaints of slow collections have rarely been more general, and in many cases settlements can only be made with notes or renew als. But in all quarters there is hope that after January I things may im prove in this respect, if legislative prospects do not meanwhile cause greater shrinkage of credits and cur tailment of purchases. Foreign influences are not now dis turbing. Exports of products -Cw-the two weeks of Decembbr from New York show a gain of 8 percent over lastyear, and the total of last December was hardly ever surpassed. Though im ports continue heavy they are greatly oxceeded by exports at present Ex ports of cotton thus far this month ex ceed last year's and also of provisions, but there is a heavy decrease in grain caused by speculative prices here. Trade at the South is fair at most points. Tho business fa lures occurring throughout tbe country during the last seven days number 404 as compared with ST4 last week. For the corre sponding week of last year the figures were 342. CLOSING IN. United State Troop Gradually Bat Surely SarroanilinE the Hostiles. Rand City, S.

Mr. Stanford sddressed the Senate the first thisg yesterdsyinsxplsBsiiosef edisa bility of the bill istrodaced by him December 5 to provide the Government with mesns sufficient to supply the national want of a sound circulating medium. It was substantially, he said, the same bill as he had introduced last session snd he hsd not much to sdd to whst he had ssid oa the subject os thst occasion. But the bill was very im perfectly understood asd as the subject wss a very imsortsst oss he desired to explsin it still further. "The b:U I sm now considering," he ssid, 'proposes to put the Goveramest is a eosditios to issue s sapply of mosey equal substantially to the general demasd and to erect a standard ay which ths Government may determine, as to s use ful value of 2 per cest shst Is the amount needed. This hss sever bees attempted by any Government The money (legal tender notes) will be is sued under tbe provisions of this bill upon unimpeachable and practically la exhaustible security sad its supply is as certain and determined by the rate which tho borrower can afford to pay. Two per cent, is the amount to be paid to tho Government for the' loan of its money, and so long as money is worth more than 2 per cent, tho security being practically inexhaustible, money will always bo borrowed from tho Govern ment and thus tho Government will bo able to discharge its duty and supply the general want As bor rowed monoy is not expected to lie idle but to bo used, it goes into gcneral,cir culatron to supply tho needs of busi ness and its abundance stimu'ates not only the larger but the smaller enter pr ses and ind ustries on wbicb so large ly depend the steady employment of labor with its natural consequence, general prosperity. Tho matter of im mediate and overshadowing importance to us is to supply our own industrial wants. For this purpose we must have more money money based upon per fect and unlimited security. No Gov ernment can afford to issue money ex cept upon a valuable consideration. Tho value of Government paper is its quality as legal tender and the proposed bill would- strengthen this paper (if the credit of a Government of 0:3,000, 000 of people with all of our vast re sources is not perfect) by the partial se curity wh:ch tbo Government would hold forits return at the expiration of the time fixed by the loan. The principle of our Government loaningmoneyisfullyestab l.shed by the advance itnow makes upon its own bond?, which, while entirely good, as between the banker and the Govern ment, does not strengthen tho security of the bill bolder, which rests at last upon tho authority of tbe Government The schemo of this bill is to sup ply an ample amount of money for all purposes. I" have mentioned the lands as security because they appear to be tho Lest and most certain of all security and are sufficient to fur nish all the money that is needed. Tho people, I think, will have moro confidence in a financial measure that is new and radical if it bas at pres ent land only for a basis. The rate of interest on these loans on roal estate is fixed at 2 per cent in tho bill, but is time may be reduced as experience shall teach. Tho rato of interest charged by tho Government under the provisions of this bill will not necessarily fix the gener5iHat6ofLnterest for business purposes.

This bill fixes a standard for the amount so long as monoy can be profitably used at more than 2 percent perahnum. The ability of the Government tomakemoney being unlimited, tbo real wants -and neces sities of the people can be ascertained and met Tbe foundation of tbe whole matter and tbe real question to be con sidered is that inasmuch as tbe Govern ment reserves the right to issue money it is its duty, the means being provided, to furnish what is necessary to tbe pros perity of the people."

" -rt GOLD FROM FARM-LANDS. YOU findl land of inex haustible fertility and well watered,, snd St the same time easily worked, be ing prepared by nature for the plow, you, may reasonably expect to find farmings profitable occupation and the fanners in such a country making more than a bare living. Agriculture in such a country is like mining simply taking gold from the soil in the shape of the finer grades of wheat snd other cereals, and it pos sesses the great advantage over mining that the amount of actual work ncccs asry to mske it pay is comparatives- very smsl L Upon thegrwjt fertile prairiesof West ern Canada, where millions of acres of the richest land in the world are com prised within the Prorinces of Mani itobs, Assiniboia, Alberta. -etc, settlers, old and new, have simply tken gold from the ground in the shape 0 mag nificent crops for the season of 1800. Their gold is golden grain, but it yields as sure returns as awy metal ever mined. The writer visited" farm after farm in Manitoba the pa aeason where the yield of wheat averaged from 80 to 88 bushels per acre, and whero oats yielded frequently 75 bushels per acre of choice grain. Upon one farm of 1,800 seres, the crop of wheat and oats wss close to 60.000 bushels, and of this the first lot of 20,000 bushels of wheat was sold for 84e and 80c per bushel. Close beside this large farm was a small one from which the owner bad taken his first crop. He bad started with no capital the year before, yet bis crop of wheat was 1.000 bushels and the quality was so good that he got vc per bushel, for it, one cent a bushel more than bis wealthy neighbor, which meant just. 8850 for his first season in wheat alone. With a climate peculiarly adapted to grain-growing, and a population repre senting nearly every nation, western Canada offers to the settler a. most favorable chanco to succeed a'mong friends or fellow countrymen of his (.wo.
