SALISBURY REPLY. THE PRESIDENT SENDS A MESSAGE ' EESPEOriNOITTO 1HESENME. j the situation is crave. Washinotox, March aS. J The Buhring Sea controversy has reached a very acute stage, and the war ' correspondents have sharpened their pencils for another big scare. Salis bury's reply declining to renew the modus vivendi, except upon condition of indemnity to Canadian sealer in case the arbitrators decide the main contro versy against t';e United States, and the President's rejoinder rejecting the conditions have gone to the Senate. They are being carefully guarded, but enough has leaked out to make the situation look very grave. The President closed his note with a declaration that unless a modus viven di was agreed on he would see that the laws against poachers were enforced if he was obliged to use the military and naval force of the United States to do so. This is probably a very brusque way of stating what was conveyed in more diplomatic language, as it is not probable the President would assume the rcponsibility of a blunt and warlike . threat. , . , , Nevertheless, the mere intimation that the President has gone ahead anil brought matters to a crisis which may eventuate in war has unsettled every body. The moneyed interests are al ready alarmed, as the countless tele grams of inquiry from New York this afternoon indicate. The President, who was so severely criticised for his precipitate action in the Chilian mat ter, perhaps fears that his resent ag gressive stand in the controversy with England is necessary to vindicate him trom the charge then made that he was anxious to jump on a little petty fourth-rate power. John Hull, however, is not in the habit of taking a bluff, although it is apparent that Kngland is prevented from rushing into hostilities with the United States by the delicate situation in Europe. A declaration of war be tween John Bull and Uncle Sam, it is generally believed, would be immedi ately followed by hostile demonstra tions against India and Egypt by Rus sia and France respectively, and the whole continent of Europe would probably become embroiled in war. Assurances are given to. night, however, that the President's rejoinder contained nothing like an ultimatum. The full text of his correspondence is awaited with keen interest. A MESSAGE TO THE SENATE. ' Washington, March 28th. At half- past 12, last l riday a message from the President on the Behring Sea mat ter reached the Senate, and Senator Sherman entered a motion to go into executive session, which was done. The Senate remained in executive session a short time, presumably in reference to the Behring Sea matter. . Lord Salisbury's note may be de scribed as a synopsis of the detailed reply to the State Department note, which is to follow by mail. His refus al to consent to a renewal of the mod us vivendi is accompanied with several counter propositions, the reading of which was received witn m-suppressea irritation by the Senate. The general character of the note is described as evasive and equivocating. ' The President's rejoinder was also transmitted to the Senate. It is a pun gent communication, in which the President broadly, but in diplomatic language, hints that Lord Salisbury has not met his overtures in a straight forward, businesslike manner. The President insists upon a renewal of the modus vivendi, without reference to insignificant or irrelevant conditions, and closes his note with the stirring assertion that if the Government of Great Britain declines to assist m the protection of the seals during the ar titration of the claims of the United States he will proceed to enforce the laws and exclude poachers lrom iseiv ring Sea if the military force of the United States is requirea to accom ulish it. The gravity of the case has led to a renewal of the strongest efforts of the Senators to prevent the public from being made acquainted with the facts until the correspondence has pro eressed further. There was no expres sion of opinion by the President in his letter of transmittal; but this was not needed, in view of the clearly defined position assumed by him in his rejoin der to Lord Salisbury, which appeared to meet with the unanimous approval of the Senators, although the debate itself was too short to disclose officially the standing of the Senators. Although there has been nothing in the nature of a direct vote upon the treaty of arbitration, and there is a well-defined opposition to it as a sur render by the United States of her rights acquired by treaty from Russia, it can be stated that the treaty will soon be ratified by the Senate. But a resolution will accompany it reciting that there does not appear to be any sufficient reason for the abatement by the United States of its claims to jurisdiction, and authorizing the Presi dent to use all the force of the mili tary arm of the government to secure the protection of the rights of the United States. Lord Salisbury does not in his note Children Cry foi Pitcher's Castorla. ' ' refuse to enter into a modus vivendi of some kind; he docj not flatly re fuse to be a party to some arrange merit, but, diplomatically speaking, he "f.iils to consent" to the proposition made by this government. Inasmuch as the Senate has refused to make the correspondence public it is exceedingly difficult to get a clear statement of the exact idea intended to be conveyed in the diplomatic language of such corres pondencc as that laid before the Sen ate to-day ( but undoubtedly the im pression generally conveyed by the teading was th.it Lord Salisbury his rciuseu 10 renew tne arrangement of last year. It can be stated that there is noth ing in the nature of an ultimatum on the part of cither government in the correspondence laid before the Senate. The correspondence is still considered incomplete, and the way is still open ior lurmcr letter writing in the line of each Side to show how f:ir tll itlifr party is in the wrong. Underlying the lunuiii pnraseoiogy 01 nipioinacy, how ever, is an evident intention nn thr part of this government to bring the iiiuuer 10 uie pomi ci cieimite iieter mination before the sealing season is far advanced. And the President's reply, it is thought, will greatly tend to the attainment of the desired result. State of Omio.City ok Toledo, Lucas County. f sa. Frank J.
