The president has sent to the house o
representatives the correspondence be
tween the governments o ( the United
Slates ami Great Lrltalu regarding the
seal fisheries in Dohrlng Bon , which was
called for by resolution of the house
some two woolcs ago. Iho delay in
transmitting tills Information has been
ascribed by newspapers hoslllo to the ad
ministration to a dlirorcnco o (
opinion botwcen the president and
secretary of state , in con
sequence of which the president had di
rected that the correspondence bo with
hold. It was stated that the attitude of
the secretary of state in the controversy
was not approved by tlio president , and
that the latterwnaproparingtonnnonnco
a change In the position of the govern-
iiioiit on this subject which rendered In
expedient u compliance at this time with
the request of congress for in formation.
Of course the submission of the corre
spondence explodes the llction
regarding a disagreement be
tween the president and secretary of
state and establishes the fact that there
is complete agreement in the adminis
tration regarding this question.
In his letter to the president. Secretary
IBInlno states that the correspondence is
still in progress , and Us already volu
minous character may bo understood
from the fact that since August , 1SSI ) ,
less than a year , thirty separate
papers have been exchanged , the
hut having been written by
the secretary of slate to the
IMtish minister \Vashlngton as late
us the nineteenth of the present month.
The correspondence opened with a de
mand from Lord Salisbury that the
United States government should issue
stringent orders to its naval otliccrs In
IJohring sea for the prevention of a re
currence of the scl/.urcs of British ves
sels in thobo wntow , claiming- that
assurances had been given by the
preceding administration that paiid-
ing a Holtlumonl of the contro
versy there should bo no further
interference with British vessels , it
appears that If such assurance was given
it was done so unnfllcially , nnd consequently
quently the new administration wits
under no obligation to respect it , nnd us
a matter of fact no attention was paid lo
it. Mr. Itlalno assured the British gov
ernment that the president earnestly de
sired to reach n satisfactory settlement ,
and believed that all points at Issue were
capable of n prompt adjustment , but
SH lo the vessels arrested it was
held that they were engaged hi
a pursuit in itself "contrary to
good manners" that Is , to a proper re
spect for the United Slates. The claim
of the United Stales to jurisdiction over
the waters of Bchving sea was insisted
upon. In February last the British min
ister at "Washington wrote that his gov
ernment was willing to adopt the sug
gestion that the tripartite negotiation
suspended in London two years ago bo
resumed in Washington. In May
Lord Salisbury seat a reply to
the arguments of Mr. Blnlno , and
the correspondence to date closes
with the rejoinder of Mr. Dlalne.
There Is nothing in this correspond
ence , on either side , olTonslvo in the
fclighlost degree to the pride or dignity
of cither country. The position of this
government has beo-n firmly maintained
without miy manifestation of nrroganco
or presumption , but on the contrary ,
with repeated expressions of a desire fern
n satisfactory settlement believed to bo
attainable. Tbo British government
has been no less firm in maintaining its
position and equally courteous in pre
senting its views. There is certainly
nothing in the correspondence to sug
gest any immediate danger to the peaco-
lul relations of the two countries , nor is
there anything to indicate that the dis
cussion may not bo indefinitely pro
longed.
WILL T11K FAIR UK .t FA
The general assembly of Illinois 1ms
convened in extra session to consider
the various legislative measures to bo
proposcdjor the benefit of the world's
Columbian exposition. The specific ob
jects for which the session is called , nnd
to which its dellbarations will bo con-
lined , are the submission to the people
of a proposition to amend the state
constitution BO as to authorize the city
ot Chicago to increase its bonded indebtedness -
dobtednoss .to an extent not ex
ceeding five-million dollars , the proceeds
to bo used in aid of the exposition ; the
passage of such legislation as may bo
necessary for the use or occupancy of
any public , ground , park or area for the
location of the exposition ; and to vest the
city of Chicago with the right , power
and authority ol eminent domain to bo
exercised for purposes In bohnlf of the
exposition. It is not expected that there
will bo any dilliculty in securing this noc-
cssary legislation if the conflicting inter
ests in Chlengo which have delayed
preparations by their persistent warfare
regarding a location can bo reconcil'cd
and kept so.
Tlio delay which the conflict over the
question of location has caused to the
work of preparation has not only boon
most embarrassing to those who are
charged with that duty , but has had
other 111 effects. It 1ms created a wide
spread apprehension that the fair is
likely to fall far bqhlnd what
it was intended to bo and that it
may bo found necessary to extend for
six months or a year beyond the date
now llxcu the tlmo for opening. There
has also boon produced a very general
distrust of Chicago's honesty nnd patriot
ism that may prove moro damaging to
the interests o ( the exposition abroad
than nt homo. The manifest greed and
selfishness that have boon at the bottom
of Iho prolonged fight regarding a loca
tion naturally suggested that the great
enterprise intended to commemorate the
discovery of the continent , was regarded
by Chlcagoans simply as a scheme of
local aggrandizement , out of which each
one would bo justified in grabbing all ho
could got , while the apparent fact that
corrupt Influences were already nt work
with thonuthorltlosnoccssarlly produced
distrust throughout the country. Un
questionably this unfortunate state of af
fairs has led to n very general decline of
interest in the exposition , which will bo
restored slowly and only when Chicago
bhall have demonstrated' her determin
ation to fully and faithfully carry out
every condition imposed lu con
nection with the exposition , and every
promlso which that city made to con
gress niul tins country In asking for the
great enterprise- .
There is now favornblo promise thnt
the preparations will bo pushed forward
without further burious delay. The
agreement reached regarding location
disposes of the question that hns been
the obstruction to progress thus far , and
while ether matters will arise upon
which disagreements are to bo expected ,
nothing Is to bo apprehended that Is
llk'oly to cause so much controversy and
trouble as this question has made. Won
derful work will have to be done , how
ever , lo make up for the valuable tlmo
that has been lost.
A FACTION IP.tff.
The campaign raging In South Carolina
lina is one of the most desperate and

General Tillmun , the farmers' candi
date for governor , has arrayed against
him the power of the democratic ofllco-
holdcrs. Though a democrat himself ,
ho has been guilty of rank "treason" by
exposing the abuses nnd corruption of
the state government , and has scoured a
largo following by declaring his purposes
to correct those abuses if elected. Uy
championing the cause of the people
against tlio democratic machine , ho has
forced the fighting two months in ad
vance of the mooting of the. , democratic
slate 'convention , and the fury of the
preliminary skirmishes foreshadows
au ugly if not bloody battle before the
close. '
The feeling displayed by the bosses
against Tillnian Is so intense that ho is
constantly surrounded by a body guard
of stalwart supporters , who publicly
announce that they are ready should the
opposition bcirlti the shooting. Boasts
arc empty , however. Tillmuu is hated
with venom that will not stop short of
assassination , and if ho lives through
the campaign it will bo because the
bosses are assured of his defeat in ad
vance. The campaign gees to show that
political liberty and life , when running
counter to democratic ascendancy in the
south , are digging their graves.
A TOIIOXTO newspaper is advocating
Canadian representation nt Washington.
Tlio peculiar position of the Dominion
government by reason of its dependence
upon Grout IJritain withholds from it the
right to outer diplomatic relations.
While the United States can not have a
regularly nccrcQUcd minister at the Do
minion capital , tiie various consuls and
counuorulal ngpnts located in all the
larger Canadian cities enable the state
department to keep informed in. regard
lo any infringouionU of the rights of
this country. The Canadians argue that
Iho employment of a resident agent at
Washington would strengthen rather
than impair the lioiyl which unites
thorn to England by enabling the Brit
ish minister to look at Canadian in
terests from the Canadian point of view.
Whether this bo true or not , it is not to
bo doubted that the employment of such
n representative would bring about a
hotter understanding between the Do
minion and United States governments ,
loading eventually to a closer union of
the two countries , commercially if not
politically.
ON the eve of harvest the farmers of
North Dakota find themselves the vic
tims of a confidence game perpetrated by
the late lottery legislature. . Heretofore
wheat growers were allowed to store
grain in elevators , for llfteon days with
out cost. The privilege was a beneficial
ono , as it enabled farmers to sell at an
advantage. The legislature concluded
that the elevator men were getting rich
too fast and imposed nn annual license
of two and a half dollars on each ono
thousand bushels capacity. This tax
the elevator companies resented and
have united in refusing to store grain ,
thus compelling the farmers to Boll at
whatever price the companies choose to
give. II the elevators persist , the con
sequences will bo disastrous to the pro
ducers , a majority of whom are heavily
in debt and unable to boar additional
burdens. Even if the tax Is unjust , us
tbo elevator companies claim , retalia
tion on the farmers will not help mat-
tors. On the contrary , it will intensify
opposition to elevator combines and
provoke moro rigorous legislation in
the future.
THKHE appears tobe a very general
desire that the congressional apportion
ment shall bo made at the present ses
sion , and unquestionably there are excel
lent reasons why this should bo done.
Regarding the now basis of representa
tion , the opinion appears to bo very gen
eral among members of congress that It
should bo fixed at about ono hundred
anJ ninety thousand , so as not to ma
terially increase the memborshlp of the
houso. If this is done states that are
counting on a considerable addition to
tholr congressional delegations will bo
disappointed , as will also bo others
which could not in any event hope to do
moro than hold their own. Several
states In the east and south will suffer a
decrease , -which will bo made up by the
increase in the states west of the Missis
sippi river. Kvon with the ratio as high
as one hundred and ninety thousand ,

The United States soldiers como from
all countries , but about two-thirds of
them are native Americans. From 18SO
to 18SS , both inclusive , the army received
G'1,435 ' recruits. Of thcno , M,805 were
white ; -1,030 were colored ; 37GOi were
natives ; mid 22,744 wore foreigners , says
a writer la Harper's "Weekly. It Is tbo
experience of intelligent officers who
have served much with troop * that
while the men of different nationalities
do not dilTor much in their military ca
pacity , certain general propositions are
truo. The l-'nglishman is most likely to
ho insubordinate. He has thu habit of
protending' ' to have fallen from a BU-
porior station. If ho Is n deserter from
the British army ho is still worse.
The Irishman must bo closely
watched. He Is ono of tbo best
t-oldloi'H when ho Is good , and ono of the
worst wJion ho is bad. The Germans
nnd Scandinavians are very trustworthy.
The Now-Eiiglandor Is intelligent but
opinionated to u degree that sometimes
leads him to Insubordination. If ho Is
able to control his sprightly indepen
dence he is likely to become an excellent
non-commissioned otllcor , nnd may oven
secure ono of the fowcoininixsions that
are bestowed upon men of the ran led.
The southerner is moro likely to bo sub
ordinate. The negro troops are proll-
clout In drill , very docllo , exceedingly
clean , and are good sold low. They never
lose Uielr fondness for tbo display of the
Forvlco. The northern Is belter than
the southern negro. The native white
soldier is the most restless and the most
depressed by the monotony of the army
post. _
