the oasis of ezznntn the desert of the
Sahnra , Mr. Sweeney presented the pet-
ton yesterday to the sccrlary of state , ask-
log his friendly oftice In forwarding It to
Minister Tcrel at Constantinople anti [ requesting -
questing him to 11resent It to h's majesty
In behalf of the ladles. The story of
" Sabag's supposed offense Is as follows : Some
American
years ago ho was teaching for the
missionaries In an interior town In Turltey.
A young man of the v llago came to him with
, a writing In Armenian anti requested him to
. translate It Into Turkish. Sahag dhl so with-
. out Inquiring ns to the motives of the writer.
The young man took It and wore I upon
h's ' breast In the market place. I was a
IJbSalO train the scripture proclaiming the
coming klngllom of Christ. The Turkish
ohhiclals naturally concluded that It meant
olcials
the overthrow of the Ottoman empire and
arrested the young man for conspircy. The
trIal developed the fact that Sahag trns-
hated the paper , and , although shown to be
perfectly Innocent of any conspiracy , he was
perfecty
sentenced to life mdlo Into Afr'ca. They ,
:
were carried to Tripoli , where they were
forced to accept tIm Mohammedan reI gion.
They were sent by caravan to Moorzoolt ,
twenty-one days' journey. The young man
IIEd of the crue treatment , but Sahag Is still
living.
When Mr. Sweeney was consul general at
Constantinople ho opened Ul1 communicaton
with Sahag through the kndly omccs of a
'
'L
- British consular OfUcer , who forwarded money
to him by private merchants. Tim Turkish
government refused to allow Sahag's friends
to send him money or In any way cant-
munlcato with him through the pesto ce de-
partment. News of the terrible straits Into
which the poor fellow was Illungel reached
his frends : In Turkey and through them the
Christian pcople of America. As a result the
above petition was secured and It Is sincerely
hoped by the petitioners of America that the
personal attention of his majesty will bo
called to this case and that Sahng wi bo
released. Mr. Sweeney left for h's home by
way of the Baltimore & Ohio at 12 o'cloclt

PEW SENATORS PRESENT.
Thera were not many senators present to
witness time ceremonies of the presentation
of the statues of Stark and Webster. The
anl
galer'es were also sparsely occupied. Aside
from the goveror of New hampshIre and
his staff , who occupied scats al the floor , and
some New hampshire ladies In the galleries ,
there was nothing ! to Indicate that anything
unusual was going on. Time senators gave
close attention to all the spealters
The senate the proceeded to the special
order for the day-the peeches presenting
to the government by time state of New
Hampshire the statues o ( General , John Stark i
and Daniel Webster. Mr. Chanlier of New
York first had read a letter from the governor
of New Hampshire saying that the state had
placed In 'statuary hal the statues of her
distnguished sons. A resolution thanking
the state was offered by Mr. Perkins of Call-
for I , and on thIs resolutIon Mr. Ga1uger :
addresse1 [ tint scnate.
Mr. Ga1nger devoted himself to a por-
trayal of the qualities and characteristics
anti to the relation of many adventure and
great military achievements of General Stark ,
who , he sold , was In many respects sui
gelrls among the bravo and patrIotic men
or his day and generation. -
Mr. Galnger was listened to wIth close
attcnton : . among his auditors being Governor
Smith of New Hampshire , the members of
his ttaI and ' the executive council , who oc-
cuplel seat on the floor.
Senator Proctor of Vermont was the next
speaker , but before he proceeded Mr.
Cocltrel ( with Mr. Galihnger's permission ) ,
called up and the senate passed the house
bIll malting an urgent deficIency appropriation -
ton for the census 0111cc , Department of
Justice , etc.
After Mr. Galnger , Senators Proctor
Hawley , Dubois and Chandler delivered brief
eulogistic speeches
Regarding Webster , Senator Chandler spoke
of his ancestry , of his father and mother , and
then gave a brIef sketch of his life In New
Hampshlro , and sltetchel his career after he
became 1 resident of Massachusetts , con-
eluding substantially as follows : I may not
be claimed that no ana has surpassed Mr.
Webster as a lawyer , there can bo no reason-
able doubt that no one has excelled him as
an orator or as a stntesman. I Is not , how-
ever , time part of wisdom nor required by time
demands ot time hour , It would , indeed , be
discouraging rather than helpful to the rising
generation of today , to present the character
of Mr. Webster as wholly pcrf ct. Tlmc great
man was not without personal faults , nor did
his public acts escape severe criticism. In
his early days In congress Mr. Webster
strongly opposed a protective tariff when
under the lead of Mr. Calhoun , time south
sought by duties on Imllrts to Ievelop the , I
home Industries of colon and other manufactures -
factures , whlo New England was agrl-
cultural and commercial merel , and largely
engaged In the carrying trade upon tim
neon mm .
Afterwards when New England bowed to
the natonal policy and hall Invested her I
means In manufactring enterprises , upon
which her property and wealth became absolutely -
solutely dependent , Mr Webster changel his
Position and arguel with great earnestness
In time house for protection according to the
American system of Secretary Clay.
In the address In time senate on February
8. 1889 upon time reception from the state of
Michigan of time statute of Lewis Cass , also
1 native of New Hampshire , the present
speaker Bought for the reasons which lell
that norther statesman to be willing to
malt so many concessions to time south and
anl
to slavery. TIme controlng move , It lay I
fairly be claimed , was love of the union of I
these states and fears of Its dissolution . '
Now that the union after mora than 100
years of natural life tInder the constitution
has been cemented by time blood of IllHlreds
of thousands of I.atrlolc ciIzens In the
greatest war In mOllern times , these fears of
the men of 1850 may seem to hayo been farcl-
ful amid neeliess , But they were reich to
theta The union meant , lS they believed ,
every thing that was dear to them alHI to
their children , and they were willing to yield
and to stiffer much rather than to risk the
doubtful Issue of fractional warfare for its
maintenance , That such 1 motive Infuenced
Mr. Webster there can bo no doubt.
Whether It was the solo motive may bo
questioned . I ho hal lived until 18Gl when
the south amid slavery beSn the war , he
would have spoken uncolpromlsingly for time
maintenance of the union by force of arnie
In cemmtmmries to cOle , I time statues In time gal-
lery escape time levelnt hand of time. amid
future ge leratons iookupon time Iten ss of
Webster amid aslt who he was , amid what he
did , there shul come the undying euloglum
"ne was the greatest expounder and defender
of the American constitution. "
Senators Hoar and Morgan followed :
The venerable senator from Vermont , Mr.
Merrill , one of the few men now In public
life who has seen Daniel Webster , gave a
rectal of several aneclot\s of the dead
statesmmmamm . "No man , " he said , "who ever
looked upon Daniel Webs' 'r would fail to
discover that he was a mal of no cOlmon
mmioid . "
Senator Davis sad ! ; "it has ben sold of
Webster that he was not a constructve
statesman , that he originated few measures ,
drafted few statutes and that ho was a mere
demonstrator. Exactly the contrary Is the
fact. H& was the most constructive of American -
can statesmen. lie construed the constitution .
ton constructvelY : In nearly all of its
articles. no applied and expanded I. and
today his personality Is Inseparably todenti.
led with It as It Is. "
Senators Culom and MItchell spoke , and
Senator Lodge said of Stark that he sprang
from that sturdy stock which brought to the
north of Ireland time blood of the Scotch Cov.
enanters and of Cromnwehi'e Inonaldes.
Mr. Chandler's speech concluded the series
on General Stark , and the resolution offered
by Mr. Perkins thanking New Hampshire
for tie statue was adoPted.
Mr. hoar of Massachusetts then offered a
. . _ J . . ' , . --L.--- . . _ , ' 'M
resolution thanking New la 1sbire for the
statue of Daniel Webster , "a' flt en of that
state , illustrious for historic renolo and for
distinguished civic service . " r
"What the final verdict ot tanklnd Upon
the last three years of the llf of Daniel
Webster will 1 It would bi nganeo and
presumption here to I'ecllte , " raid Mr. lear
In conclusion "Dut whether , ns''nen think ,
the will be heM to have been but nnotb
Instance or human frailty , giing away be-
fore a supreme temptation , to be pitied , to
be pardoned , to be forgotten or whether

WAShINGTON , Dcc. 20. - Secretary
Grcsham today sent to the house , In answer
to n resoluton cnlng for an explanaton
of his reasons for arrnging with Great
Briain for the 11'ment of claims of Dratsh
sealng vessels , the following letter :
"To time Honorable , the Speaker of time
House of Heprescntatves : The undersigne
Is directed by the president to resml to
time resoluton adopted by your bonorable
body on the 16th Inst. , requestng the secretory -
tory of state 'to communIcate to time house
of representatve ! , If not Inconsistent with
the Interests of the pubHc service , till corre-
spondence , reports anti other documenls not
heretofore mnle public touching time pn-
ment by t.c United States or $425,000 to
Great Drltaln for 11nmnges growing out of
the controversy as to fur seals In Bering
sea or the seizure of Drltsh vessels en-
gnged In taking seal In those waters. '
"Tho undesigned accordingly has . time
honor to communicate to the house of rw-
resentatves copIes of the correspondence ex-
changed on the subject covered by the reso-
hlLon In whIch will be found a tatemet
of the caims filed by Great Britain for Iam-
ages sustained by British subjects by reason
of the seizure of their scaling vessels In the
Bering sea or of being wared to cease
opcratons therein. The Paris trlbunnl of
arbitraton hell that the United States had
no right of protecton : of property In the fur
seals In Bering sea outside the ordinary
ttmree-rnile limit . Article 8 of the conven-
ton of February 20 , 1892 , whereby ques-
tcns which have arisen between the two
gvernments concering the jurisdictonal
rights of time United States In the waters
of Derng : sea were submItted to arbItration ,
recited that the high contracting parties had
been unable to agree upon a reference which
would Include the Queston of the liability
ot each for the Injuries alege1 to have been
sustained by the other , or by Its citzens , In
connection wih thc clalns presented af1
urged by I. and being solicitous that this
smmbord mate question shoul not Interrul1t
nor longer delay the submission and deter-
mlnaton of the main queston they have
agreed 'that either may submit to the arbitrators -
birators any question of fact involved In
said claims and' ' ask for a finding thereon ,
the question of the Iablty : of either gover-
ment upon the facts found to be the sub-
ject or further imegotiation. '
"Under this article the arbitrators unanimously -
mously found that 1 number of Britsh seal-
tag vessels were sized on the Bering sea
or warned therefrom by cruisers of the
United States ou the days end at the places
In the special I finding mentioned , leavIng
for further Ietermnaton ! the questions as to
the value 'of the sold vessels or their con-
tents , or either of them and the question
as to whether the vessels mentioned In the
schedule to the Drlsh case , or any of them ,
were wholly or In part the actual property
of cltize'ns of the United States. . '
"If the plan of settlement recommended
by the'president'ln his' annnnl"msage-Is-ot"
acceptable to congress , the . remaining con-
troverted' : q eslons 'i t .li" aelermlned
eithr by the organization of a Joint com-
mslQq : or by negotIations between the two
govenments , Experience hiss shown that
international commissions are slow and ex-
pensive. Should such a course be resorted
to the evIdence would be -founl mostly on
the Pacific coast widely scattered , and coun-
sel would be needed to examIne and cross-ex-
amino witnsses ,
"Tho question of Indirect or consequentIal
damages having been withdrawn from the
tribUnal or arbiraton , the pending claims
are for Drllsh vessel actually seized In
Bering sea or warned out or It by cruisers
of the Unite States. I will appear from
the submitted corresonlenee that the agree-
ment to pay a lump sum of $425,000 In full
settlement was proposed by this goverment ,
The amount Is considerably below the damage
clalnel by Great Britain , exclusive of In-
terest for a number of years. I this arrangement -
ransement does not receive the approval of
congrss and the Ilputel questions are sub-
mited to an International commission I
Is believed that the amounts allowed and
the expense of time trIbunal , Incluling wa-
nesses and the taking of their testimony ,
will largely exceed $425,000.
"In view of all the facts , and what may
be reasonably expect as the result of n
commission , the undersigned submits thal
a prompt and dual setlement of the vexatious
controversy by an appropriation of the IUIP
sum agreed upon Is advtsable. Respectfully
submited , W. Q. GHESIAM ,

ARGUING TIlE OAKLAND CASE
SCIUtor Stewart l'resrnmts time n"lro"ll Side I
of time Itrgunmemmt.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 20.-Senator Stewart
concluded his argument today In the supreme -
promo court In the Onkland water front case
Ho set forth the changes wrought on the
Oakland side of ' San Francsco : bay by the
location thel ' ( [ the railway terminus ,
making that city I great commercial center.
He said this hall cost time railway company
vast sums of money , and that hut for theta
outlays the poverment would never have
undertaken the construction of a harbor ,
The harbor Is 'a ' purely artifIcial one. He
said ) that the grant In queston was not under
navigable waters , but consisted of land covered -
ered by water at high title and bare at low
tde , and of land covered by shalow water
without sufficient depth for navigation . The
grant was no porton of an existing hnrbor ,
but of lands which could bo recialmeth by
filling In , and other submerged lanlls where
time water coull only le mad navigable by
excavaton , For , more than a generation
the state has COICCtEd taxes on the grantell
property It now claims never to have had
time power to grant ,
Mr , Stewart then explained time recognized
title of alt states brdering on tide water to
the lands Iyng : between high and low water
marl and to the sUbmerged lanl1 out to
the line of na\'lgahle waters. These lands
hal been grantel to Imlvlluai , sometmes
by recognizing riparian rights of the owncrs
of the upland ) anti sometmes , as In this case ,
by special granting acts Hal California
recognized riparian rlght1 time ownerl of the
Perala grant , on which Oakland stands , would
have ownell the water front of Oakland and
Almeda and miles more besides
Mn Stewart then proceeded to discuss the
opinion of the supreme court In time nhl.ago
lake front case , eli of which he fully sus-
tamed , He aEsertell that If the prlnclple
haiti down In that case were adhere to In
the present case the grant he was defend.
Ing lust he hell valid ,
He sad that under the decision In the Chi-
cage case the state could not grant the bed
of the imarbor but It Ilght grant the title
and submerged loath borderinG on time harbor
anti uch parcels of land under navlgatble
waters as Ilght be neceuary for wharves
anILe ! , er structures for the Imjlrovement of
