SEALERS' CLAIMS. Ilrltlftl, (loiernment AnepU Arbitration to Settle llerlnjc Hen AtrnnM. Washisotoj:, Jan. 27. Sir Julian Pauneefotc, tho Urltish ambassador, called on Secretary Olney to-day to submit tho ilnal acceptance by tho Ilrltlsh government of tho plan of a llering sea commission to pass upon tho claims of Cnuadlati scalers seized prior to the. Paris award. It remains only for the president to submit the plan to Congress, and ns tho legislative bra nun has refused to pay n lump sura for the seizures, it is considered cer tain that tho commission arrangement will bo approved. It Is likely that tho president, in submitting the plan to Congress, will suggest onco moro the desirability of a single payment as the most expeditious means of settle ment, for tho commission of nrbltra tion, If agreed to, will bind tho United States to tho payment of any sum which tho commission may award. The commission is to bo composed of one American commissioner, one llritish commissioner und an umpire to be ehoson by tho two. The per sonnel of the commission has not been suggested, but there is a belief that the president of Switzerland will be asked to act as umnirc, or some one designated by the Swiss president, if the sessions of the commission neces sitate the presence of tho umpire in this country. STATEHOOD AND SILVER. Adtoeute of Hound Money Mny Defeat Arizona' AitmlMlon. Nkw Yoiik, Jnn. 27. Nathan O. Murphy, territorial delegate from and ex-governor of Arizonn, said to day: "The people of Arizona arc a unit for self government. Six weeks ago there was practically no opposi tion to admitting Arizona. It was generally conceded that the remain ing territories should bo udmittcd and the responsibility and the. expenses of their government transferred to their own people. Hut lately consider able irritation has developed on account of the monetary dispute, and motives un-American, sectional and seliish luivo caused several represen tatives to announce their opposition to tho admission of any more Western States whose Senators, they think, would disagree with the East on the money question. The merits involved nro temporarily obscured ou this ac count. 1 have, however, too much confidence in the ultimate justice and love of fair play of the American peo ple to think that an entirely extrane ous issue will be allowed to prevent justice being done to a loyal and pa triotic bub-division of this country."

THE CALL FOR A NATIONAL CONVENTION SENT OUT.

I'rce Miter Aritncnte.. Wakihnotox, Jan. 25. The silver conference yesterday resulted In the adoption of the strongest kind of a de claration for the frco and unlimited coinage of silver at tho ratio of 10 to 1, and tho call for a delegate national convention to be held in St. Louis. July 22, IsOO, the date of tho Populist national convention. Tim call for tho, convention expressly stipulates that delegates to the convention shall bo willing to subordinate party ullegiance and fealty to the principlcsenunciated in the declaration nnd to support thu nominees of the convention. A provisional national committee was organized with headquarters at Washington, and with authority lo proceed at ouco to the organization of States and territories for the success of the movement. There wns nn animated discussion, early in tho day, of the financial situa tion and tho policy to be pursued by tho friends of silver. During tlie dis cussion considerable feeling was aroused by some of the remarks made by Geucrnl Hatch of Missouri, in which he stated in effect that if the Populists of Kentucky had done their whole duty the election of Mr. Muck burn to a seat in the United States senate would not be a matter of doubt. General Field of Virginia and others made heated replies. Mayor Turner of Lansing, Mich., und Senator Stew art of Nevada also addressed the con vention. The committee on resolutions, of which Senntor Jones of Nevada, is chairman, submitted a report, tlie pre amble of which Is u complete state ment of tlie position of the silver ad vocates. It declares the money ques tion to be the paramount issue of the day, and that the conllict is between the gold standard, gold bonds nnd bank currency, on tlie one side, and the bimetallic staudnrd, no bonds and government currency on the other. Tlie ilnal declaration is as follows: "That over and above all other ques tions ot policy, wo are in favor of re storing to tho people of the United States tho time honored money of the, constitution gold and silver not one. but both tlie money of Washington and Hamilton, nnd Jefferson nnd Mon roe und Jackson and Lincoln, to the end that American people mny receive honest pay for an honest product, the American debtor pay his just obliga tions in nn honeststaudard, ami not in n standard that is appreciated 100 per cent above tho great staples of our country, and to tho end. further, that silver standard countries may be deprived of the unnatural ad vantage they now enjoy in the differ ence in exchange between gold nnd silver an advantage which the tariff legislation alone, cannot overcome. We, therefore, confidently appeal to the peoplo of tho United States, that leaving in obeynnce for tho moment till other questions, however impor tunt, even momentous they may ap pear, and sundering it need bo all former party alllliations, they unite in a supreme effort to free themselves und their children from the domina tion of the money power a power moro destructive thun any which has ever been fastened upon tlie civilized men of any race or in any age. And, upon the consummation of their desires and efforts, wo invoke the gracious favor of tho Divine Prov idence." SILVER REPUBLICANS. They formulate it Dein.ind for a l'lnnlc In the National l'lut form, Washington, Jan. i:. The Repub lican silver Senators have signed a de claration which is intended to be used in the coming campaign as the de mand which 'tho silver men will make for a plank in the na tional convention. In the preamble it is recited that the present financial system endangers the industrial lrosperity of the United States, which is threatened by China and Japan, as a result of the decrease in the value of t-"vcr and the difference of exchange between silver und gold using countries. It is therefore resolved that tho signers favor the frceand unlimited coinago of silver at a ratio of 10 to 1 for the purposo of obliterating this difference of ex change, which is declared to operate as a bounty on the export of products from silver using countries to gold using countries. It is also resolved that they favor a tariff which shall equalize the difference in tlie cost of labor between this country and thu countries of Europe und Asia. It is the purposo of those who aro circu lating tlie declaration to get all the Republican silver men in congress to blgn it. llurriHou C'ulU on Cleteluml. Washinotox, Jan. 25 Ex-President Harrison arrived here at 7:10 o'clock yesterday morning. General Harrison called on President Cleveland during the day to pay his respects. It was an exehango of amenities similar to those during Mr. Harrison's occupancv of the White House, when Mr. Cleveland visited Washington as a prlvato citi zen, and paid his respects to the then President. General Harrison's vlit to Washington is the first since ho re tired from the presidency. WITHOUT OPPOSITION. Air. Lodge bay the Senate Will I.lkely I'ain tho Dtt'la Ileiolutlon. Washington, Jan. 25.

There are still a large number of speeches to be mado on the subject and It Is too early to say when a vote will bo taken. The debate will be pressed rapidly after the bond bill ehall l.ave been disposed of. THE PRESIDENT MAY AC T. Strong Armenian Itrsnlutlon Adop'rd bj tho Sennte. Washington, Jan. 25. Mr. Call of fered In the Senate to-day a radical resolution demanding that by either peaceful negotiation or force of tirms. thu Armenian atrocities bo stopped. The resolution was defeated w.thout division and tho resolution reported by the committee on foreign relations passed unanimously. The resolution directs the President to express to the powers of Europe tho hope that Turkey will see that protec tion and just rights are granted tho Armenians. It also pledges tho sup port of Congress to sustain the Presi dent In any decisive measures he may take. Many memorials concerning the Ar menian question were presented to tho Senate. Mr. Hill asked what had become of the resolutions for ener getle action by the president. Mr. Cnllom of Illinois, who reported the Turkish resolutions from the com mittee on foreign Volutions, said ho desired the speediest possible action and later in the day would ask for a. vote on the resolutions. There was a brief flurry when Mr Cullom sought to secure tho passage of a joint resolution amending the act relativo to the Uloomingtou, 111., pub He building. air. Allen oi Nebraska, said there seemed to bo a little ring in tho Sen ate as to favorable action on public buildings. The East secured public buildings, but the States of the far West did not Mr. Gallinger of Now Hampshire, protested against the extravagance of .Mr. Allen's language and there was an extended debate as to tho scc'tions which had received public buildings. Mr. Cullom suggested that llloum ington was the home of tho Vice Pres ident, the presiding officer of the Sen ate, whereupon Mr. Allen said ho would yield to an appeal and the reso lution was passed. Mr. Caff erey of Louisiana called the attention of the judiciary committee to the importance of the sugar bounty question, which had been referred to that committee, saying tho subject in volved the right of subordinate olli cials to nulify an appropriation made by Congress. The Turklsh-Arnunian resolution was then called up by Mr.Cullom. The Senator spoke of the serious situation In Turkey. A massacre of innocence unparalleled for ages, had been perpe trated. Tho evidence of the bloody encounter was given by all classes and nationalities until it was beyond the slightest doubt. A Turk ish army had bayoneted, robbed, murdered und flayed alive tho people of Armenia. There was no. war, but a pitiless, merciless tornado of ruin, bloodshed and death. Tho demon of fanaticism had been let loose. There wns a responsibility somewhere. It din not rest with the slavish ruler of Turkey, tho sultan. Hack of this were the disputes of tho countries of the European alliance, seeking their territorial advantages. These countries were responsible. The sultan was but a pnppet in tlieir handb. It was a matter of regret and em barrassment, continued Mr. Cullom, that the policy of the United States was such as to prevent tho sending of a fleet to Turkish waters to put a stop to the bloody rule prevailing. Hut Europe hnd assumed tho obligation of protection to Armenia. Tho people of the United States wero interested in seeing the obligation executed, aud tho purpose of this resolution was to press, with tho great est earnestness, for tho protection of Armenia. It wus amazing to the people oi the United States to see the indifference of the Christian powers. Thero was a double obligation upon England nnil yet nothing had been done to stay the hand of the Sultan, except by fruitless diplomatic corre spondence. Tlie powers, said Air. Cul lum, nppear to lo waiting for the dis solution of tho Ottoman empire. The United States had no purpose to Interfere in the affairs of Eur po ex cept in protection of American citi zens nnd in tho name of humanity. Tho United States had spoken in tho name, of humanity in tlie affairs of Greece and Hungary. No event in eontur es called so loudly to the civil ized world as this slaughter in Tur key. Mr. Hlnni'hnrd of Louisiana, Demo crat, said that for more than a year the world had been greatly shocked at the massacres in Turkey. Not only was there murder and massacree, but In tho case of women worse than mns sacre. As a great free nation it was the duty of the United States to ex press its oilicial repudiation nnd pro test against the course of Turkey. MILLER WILL RETIRE.

Tho an nouncement of the retirement nt Judge Miller from the Republlcm congress ional race in the Second district camo as a surprise to many of his friends. Judge Millur said: "1 liavu deter mined not to be a candidate, for re nomination for Congress from tho Second district. 1 am satisfied Unit the conditions of the district aro all favorable to my nomination and re turn, but I find that a continued ser vice in Congress must result in the de struction of my law business, and that I cannot a fiord. When the additional expense necessarily incurred by a member of Congress is censidered, tho compensation paid i.s not sufficient to justify one as poor as I am in giving up u fairly good law business for tho prospective honors in. Congressional life." KHcht MoiIHIeutlon in the Maimer of Countlni a (tuoruni. Washington, Jan. 25.
