MR , VOORHEES' NATIONAL BANK DILL It * ImiiUMllnln Coinlilprnllon Ohjcctoil To I.oilcn'x Hill for the Itcpcnl of the I'urrhimlnc Cliume of the Hhrr- iimn .Act Wolcolt'n Mpecoh. WAHIHSOTON. Aug. 15 The prtnclpil scene of action In Iho financial battle was shifted to the senate , today nnd raged with varying Intensity and Interest throughout the after noon. Immediately after the preliminary spelling business had been transacted Sena tor Gordon of Georgia recalled n plank In the last democratic platform by presenting i measure to suspend for ninety dajs Iho law imposing a 10 per cent tax on state bank issues Ho declared It would give relief to thocounlty In fifteen dajs , and would make it possible to move the Immense cotton crop In the south. The proposition was not re colvcd with any particular wannlli by the senate and Mr. Gordon asked Its reference to the financial committee nnd slid ho would lemand a report , yea or uayon iho measure it nn early day. Voorhoc * ' Nntloimt linnk Illll. Mr. Voorhces reported back from the finance con.inlllco Iho national mnk bill In troduced by him jcstciday. The bill , he said , had not only the etuloi semen t of the committee on finance and Iho Bcciotary of the ticasury , but a similar measure had passed the senate unanimously last session He did not by any manner of means proclaim the measuio as ono of enllro relief , but he looked upon It as a measure of relief It would , to some extent , help the peoplo. It would authorize an Increase of ? 10,000,000 on the bonds already deposited , and thcio was not a doubt Unit It would result In an Inetetisc of from $10 000,000 to fM.OOO.OOO. an increase of curiency that would bo at this time a solace aud comfort to the people in nvcry quarter In the United States. I/ thcio had been icasons heretofore for the passage of a llko bill , those reasons were magnified now a hundred fold. Ho slncei ely hoped that , practically , w ithout dlscUBslon the ncnale would do today what It liad done heiclofoio for an increase of Iho circulating medium. The national banks were not favorites of his Ho had not been enamored of them , nor they of him ; but that was no reason why they should not be used to bi Ing about a mcasuiu of relief if they wcie capable of it. In Ibis instance ho believed thai Ihoy had power to do good , and ho desired to aulhoii/o them to lender a moasuie of icliet to the people ' 1 ho vice president nskcd if there was oh- jection to the Immediate considciallot ) of the bill. Mr. Quckrull'n Ohjectlon. Mr. Cockiell Thcio Is objection , beciuso theio aiea number of senators who dcsiie to bo heaid on this pioposltion and who will have amendments to offer to give to thu masses of the people the sumo rights as are eonfericd on llio nation il banks , and to put a stop to fivontism and prosciiptlvo legis lation. Wo have just as much money in the eountiy as we ever had. This bill cannot bo consideted In the morning hour , aud even If it could be , a bill containing such principles should not bo pissed In the moinlng hour. 1 shall never give my vote lo any bill that tends to iccognbu the lights of national banks to Issue and contiol Iho paper money of Ihn country. After iho Voorhces bill had cone over on the objection of Mr. Cockrell , the bitter gen tleman nskcd the senate lo consider and pass Iho house joint resolution for Iho pay ment of mileage to senators and rcpiosenta- tlvcs of the present session. This gave Mr. Fi\o of Mainu a chance , which ho availed himself of , of ridiculing the idea of the pub lic duly winch would postpone loliuf for the people and make Haste to provide icliot'for Bcnatois and mcmbeis Mr Frjow.is asked whether ho objected to the consideration of the joint resolution. Ho declined to do so , but Mr. Poffer stepped Into Ihe bieach vvllh an objection , aim the joint icsolution vvenl to the calendar. i'no Leo Mantle case , Involving tlio ques tion of Iho light of governors of states tn appoint senalois ( under ceitain circum stances ) was then taken up , and Mr Ilunton of Viiginia addicsscd thu senate briellj in behalf of Mr. .Mantle's light to a seat. Mr. Voorhces then introduced a Joint resolution extending for six months tbc bonded polled for whlskj In goveininent vrat chouses. Jlrpt nl of thn Shoriuiin Art.

The senator from Massachusetts ( Lodge ) had said that after the repeal of the Slier- man act confidence would como back to the country.

The tepoal of the Shcunan act Mould not bring confidence to them Would it bring , ccntldeiico to the b inks ? 1 he b inks did not want confidence In the money of the coun try , but they wanted the money of other people The banks wanted sonic legislation that would induce the poor people w ho had withdrawn their money from the banks to ttIng it back That brought him , ho suit , to the real cause of the present oxlstlnir financial panic It had come partly because of European losses in South America and Australia ; pat tly because Hussi i and Aus tria wuto buying gold , and partly because the United States had purchased moro goods abroad than it had soldabtotd. All these causes woio utterly independent nnd irrespective of silver and the Sherman act If tlieie had not been a dollar's worth of sil ver in the country : if there had never bcena line of silver legislation , the olight would come exactly the same Silver was not lesponsiblc for it.

The award decides that by the ukase of 1S21 Russia claimed jurisdiction in the Beting sea lo the cxlcnt of 100 Hall in miles from Ihe coasts And Islands belonging to her , but in course of the negotiations which led to the conclusion of the treaty of 1831 with the United Slales ana ISJTi w 1th Gicat Biitaiu. Russia admitted that her Jurisdiction should bo les trie ted to re ich a cannon shot fiom shore From thai time up to the cession of Alaska to the United Stales Hussia never asserted in fact or oxctelsed any exclusive jurisdiction in Bchring sea , or any exclusive rights to tlio seil llshetlcs beyond the or dinary limit of territorial waters. On the second point It is decided th it Great Britain aid not recognise or concede any claim upon the part of Hussia to exclusive - sivo jutisdiclion. On Iho thitd point It is decided that the body of water now known as Beiing sea was included in the phi.isc , ' Pacific ocean , " in the treaty of lb i between Great Britain and Hussia. Or. the tourth point it is decided that all rights of Hussia lo jut isdietlon and lo Iho seal llsheiles pissed to thu United Stales aio limited by tlio cession. llns No 1'ioiirrtj- * > ouU. On Ihofiflh poinl , on.vvhich special stress was placed by the United States cotmnis- sloncis. the tribunal decides that the United States has no rinhl lo the protcclion of or propel ty in the seals frefucnting ] the islands of the United Stales in Bering sea when found outsldo of the ordinary tluce-mllo limit. Lord Ilannon , Sir John Thompson and John M. Hailau dissented from this lust de cision. The regulations adopted by the majority Mr. Harlan and Sir John Thompson dis- scnlitig ate piactieally : The Uuiled Slalcs and Great Biitain shall forbid their cltircns and subjects to hunt seals within aone of sixty geographical miles around the Pribi- lov islands , inclusive of teiritoii.il watars.

VVlillt IK ThmiKlit of thu DouUlou. In an Interview today with the icpro- sentatlvo iu this city of the Associalcd press Hon. J. W. Fosier , Amcilc.iu agent to the Boring arbitration , said thai , under the declsionsoftholribunnl.no pelagic soallne can now be can led on between ALij 1 and Jul.v ai , Afler th.it time such scaling may bo pioseetited In Beiing sea with speais ut a distance of sixty miles from the islands. Thlbiicclsiuii limits pelagic sealing to nar row bounds. Mr , Foster said ho thought that the re strictions might tender the pelagic industty uuptolltablo. The provisions for a close SOISOH will ptovent pohgiu hunting during three- out of four niuntbb , when It can bo slid to Uo very profitable It loaves Uio right to hunt seals in tlionoith Pacific fiom - January to May. The vveathcrduilng three- fouiths of that period is veiy unfavoiablo - and the catches then made aio always small. It alvvajs leaves the right to hunt soils in parts of Beiing sea after July , which means for u period of about twenlj-fivo days after the expiration of which lough weather compels the hunters to lca\o , Duilug thcso twenty-five dajs the huntets can neither como within sixty miles of the Priliilov Islands nor use any weapon except spears Though thu Indians ore permitted lo hunt souls along thu coast , from canoes , the catch made by them is - ulwajs very small. Mr. Tosjor said ; "Truo , the United < States has not obtained all It con tended , since it demanded the total prohi bition of pelagic scaling , but the regulations now made aio much bettor than tiioso Mr. Blalno vainly offcicd to Lord Salisbury m Ib'JU as a settlement , Mr. Blalnu then pro posed , as the solo restriction of pelagic scaling , to piohlblt It within hlxty miles of Pribllov islands , 'Iho present settlement is also more advantageous than Iho ono pto - posed by Mr. Bayard In IMS , as he asked o10 protection for the seals during , May und June.

Major Halford , paymaster of the Depart ment of the Platte , whoso oftlcl-vl duties took him to Paris during the piogrcss of the hearing before the tribunal , expressed great satisfaction at the result of the deliber ations. To Tim BEC ho gave his personal views , as follows ; "Tho decision of Iho tribunil so far as form goes Is In the nature of a compromise , as Mr. Phelps In reported to have said ho thought It would be from the nature of the case , and It Is moro swooping nnd effective than 1 thought ptobablo when I loft Paris Considerable confusloli bus existed In the public mind as to the real contention of the United States. Mare clausatn was never asserted , and it was never contended that Hussia had asserlpd It In the moasiiios which that government took for the protec- llon of so il Hfo before 1807. The first ques tions submitted to the tribunal what Sir Charles Hussoll called the questions of 'right' and of 'derivative tillo' have been decided In accordance with historic fact and from undisputed documentary' evidence. There was an agicomcnt submitted to the eoutt as to thcso questions be tween the counsel for the two goveinmcnts , and thotiibunal hid little dilllculty with Ilium , and indeed they vvcro not essentially ImpotlMit , only picHmluaiy to tlio reil questions nt issue tho'so of property right and of ptotectlon. The United States claimed a property light in the Alaskan or Priblov island se.il , or it not hi the seal , then In the industry established on thu Islands founded upon the soil" This Inuustiy , the United States claimed should bemrolecled , and inwhntevci legulli'.lons that have been established this light of propcitj' , in the degrcu to which thu regulations have been fiamed , is recognised , t "Tho 'close season1 is ample for the pro tection of the seals as they go lo llicir breedIng - Ing giounds in the catly summer. Allot them ate on the islands "bj the middle or list of June , and the jouug have been botn and will bu sovcial weeks old , before the close season ends It is impoi taut too , that this close season is extended to the Noith Pa- c'ltlcas well as to the Bu ing sea. This effectually stops tholndisUtuminato slaughter of the seals in and near the Aleutian passes , as the held goes to llic islands "Tho pioleclcd 7onu of sixly miles about the islands is u l.uvfc Advance upon the British ptoposition , which was fet twenty miles Outside of this tone , only , pelagic sealing will bo allow nil from and afler August 1. Coupleil with ! this is the pio- \islon that there shall bo no use ot fiicaims bv pelagic saaleis This will stop the brutal und destructive practice th it has icsulted in the loss of probably four or live limes as many of'tho ' seals as weio taken This loss w is frdmtho killed , which sank before Ihoj'could bec'taken into the boils , and fiom the wounaea , manv of which maj' hav'o aftci ward/died.

( ( ) per oc-ut. - , "A 'modus' for tills year Was agreed upon between Hussia and Great Biitain during the Paris nrbitlatlon. I't.cl Ike-result of that agreement "was paraded befoio the tribunal , doubtless in the hope thatHt might havean influence in dotouniniug the issue w ith Iho Unilcd Slalcs. That 'modus' adopted a pio- tcctcd 7one about the Commander islands the Hussian islands of onlj' tlni tj-five miles How much bettor and more effective the sixty-mile zone will be is apparent on the instant. "Of couise. It scorned to mo , as 1 listened lo Iho aigumcnt , that the United States made good ils piopetty claim ; tb.it the seals vvcieot a nature and 1mbit that brought them , Mtinn the inles of law which nccotd propci lj' in certain animals of like nature and habit , even though they temporalilj and pcriodicilly leivu the pos session of the owner Hut thoiov\ci < counter considerations of prcat weight that had to bu taken Into the account. The British planted themselves slionglj' on the doctrine of tlio'freedom of the so is , ' as against the idea that the United States should bo allowed to police Ihcisca in ths pio- teclion of its vvandeiingpiopcrtv. . To great nations , especially Ihoso bavin ? laigc in iri- limo intoiests , theio was much fouo in England's argument. ' In addition to tills wits Iho indisposition of con servative men lo take advance stops In matters of international law. To awaul , a pioporty right to the United States in the seals did not involve any new prin ciples of international law , but it did involve a now application of those principles to a class of animals differing in many i cspccls fiom those which now have property pio- Iculion If tl.e question shall again conic up lor international consideration the next liibunal will not have so far lo co , from Iho present decision , to that of n full pjopertj' avvaid.
