SALISBURY ACCUSE!) OF rEUYEKSIOS
? "WASUlxoxoif, May 7. The following
ftiote from Secretary blame to Sir Julian
'l'anncefote, in addition to the correspoijd
jMce thst hai already passed in relation to
(the Bering Sea coiittoversr, is made public:
- "Dni'AltTMKNT OF STATE, )
Wamuxgiox', April 14. J
' "Sir The modifications which Lord
tSaliiimry suggests in the questions for orbi
ftratloa do not wholly meet the views of the
President, hut the President changes the
text of'thc third and fifth in such manner,
'it is hoped, as will result in an agreement
1 between the two Governments. Whilo
Lard Salisbury su'getls n different mode of
procedure from that embodied in the sixth
qucstinu, the President does uot understand
Lira actually to object to the question, and,
thcrcfoie, nuuuiea that it is agreed to. The
six questions, as now proposed by the Presi
dent, arc as follows:
"First "What exclusive jurisdiction in
the sea now known as the Bering Sea, aud
what cxclusirc rights in the seal fisheries
therein did Rnssia assert and exercise prior
mid up to the time of the cession of Alaska
to the United States?
"Second How far were those claims of
jurisdiction cs to the seal fisheries recognized
nnd conceded by Great Britain?
Itlglitt In Itfrlnc hcu.
"Third Was the body of water known as
tne Bering Sea included in the phrase
Pacific Ocean,' as used in the treaty of
1825 lietneen Great Britain and Itmsia,
and whit rights, ifanr, in the Bering Sea
were hejd and exclusively exercised by Rus
sia after said tre.itj?
"Fourth Did i.ot all the rights of Russia
as to jurisdiction and as to the teal fisheries
in B( ring Sea, east or the water boundary
described in tho treatr between the United
Btatesand Russia, of March 50. 1SG7. pass an
Impairea to tuo United States nntler that

"Fifth lias the United States any nzbt,

United .States in Baring Sea, when such seals

InniiT
"Sixth If the determination of tho foregoing
questions 'ball leave the sublet in uch posi
tion that the concurrence of Great Britain is
Jiecessirj in precnlmig regulations for the
billing ot the f ur" seal in anv part of the waters
or Berintr hea. then it shall he further deter
mined. First, how far, if .it all. outside the ordi
nary territorial limits it is necessary that the
United Suites should exercise an exclusive
jurisdiction, in order to protect the seal for the
:ime living upon the islands of the Unirod
State? and leeding therefrom; second, whether
a clcsed season (during which the killing of
seals in the waters of Bering Sea outside the
ordinary territorial limits shall be prohibited)
Is necesarr to&aotbe seal fishing industrv.
so valuable aud important to mankind trom
deterioration or nestructionT And if so. third,
what month'" or parts of months should be in
cluded in season and ovor what waters it should
extend.
Damage to English Vessels.
The President does not object to the addi
tional question respecting alleged damage to
English ships, proposed by Lord Salisbury, being
added, namely, that liter the issues of the
arbitration are joined, it the United States
shall prevail, all tlie seals taken by Canadian
ves-els durfrg tl.e period shall be paid for at
the ordinary pnep for which skins are sold.
"Lord Salisbury complains tliat I did not deal
with certain protests written by Lord London
derry and the Duke of Wellingtcn in IS which
he had before quoted. If In; will recur to tlie
26th anil 27th pages of mydi-patchof Decem
lierlT, howill observe that 1 especially dealt
vith lhese. that I maintained, and I think
piovca from the text, tha there was not a
single vord in those protests referring to the
Bering Sea. hut that thej referred in the lan
guage of the Unke of Wellington of the 17th
of October, 1K22, onlv to tho lands extending
along tLe shores ot the Pacific Ocean from Iat
Jtudo to latitude t0 north.
Trorest of Lord Londonderry.
"In the first parszraj.ii ol Lord Londonderry's
protest of January IF, lfcJS, addressed to Count
Ucven, of ltcssia. he alluded to the matters in
, dispute as especially connected with the terri
torial utes of tha ltussian crown on the north
west coat or America, bordering on the Pacific
Ocean. and tbe o.niruerce and navigation of His
Imperial ilalcsty's subjects in the seas adjacent
thereto.
"From tLese and other pertinent facts, it is
eviuent ! hat the protests of Lord Londonderry
aud the IJufce of Wellington had nothing wha.
e er to do with tLe points now m issue between
the American and British Governments con
cermi z the waters or the Bering Sea.
"In Lord Salibnry's judgmeutthe contention
of the Lnitd States now rests wholly unon the
ukase of lfe"l 1 the Emperor Alexander L of
Ki.ssla. The Ui.i:ed States has at no time
rested its argurronfolel. on the ground men
tioned, and thi Government regrets that Lord
Salisbury should have so misapprehended the
Amciiian pooir.on as to liu.it its basis of right
In Bering Sea to the ukase of 1SJL. The United
states haf, among other grounds, insisted,
-vithoutrecar-iiigtoacj of its inherited and
superior rights in Alaska, that this Government
lias a rull authorltj for coing bejond tbe
three-mile line in ca-e of proved necessity as
Great fintaln possesses.
Sample or l'.ntUli InconsUtenry.
"Two or thrco Instances ol the power Great -Biitai-.
exerc.scs beyond the three-mile lino
hae already been qui.ted, but hate failed thus
far to secuts comment or explanation from
Lord Salisbui). Another case c-in bo added
which perhaps. Is still more to the point. In
1SK'. titiy two iears ago. the British Parliament
eu.it ted a law, thceffect of which i; fully slioun
by a up irclosed herewith (The map leferrel
to represents a triangular shiet or water, with
the apex formed by u roe small lirths or bays.
Tho giuat liody ul water Ii nameless on tlie
nun. Across tuo ba-e of the triamrle Is lh
line of exclusion, measuring S5 miles, ard tbe
two sides aru 50 mnes and 62 miles long, lnakin
tho total inclosed area 2,7ft) square miles.) "
Tar outside tlfu three mile line, tho l'arlla
inout of Great Britain has attempted to control
a body of water situated bctnud the north
eastern section or Scotland, 2,70) square miles
in extent and to dirert that certain methods or
fishing shall not be used within that crcat body
ot water under a prescribed penalty. It wil. be
ub-erved that tho inhibition H not alone against
Biltish subjects, hutagamstany person.
Quite a Pertinent Question.
"If Great Britain may thos control an area
of 1,007 square uinVs of ocean on the coast of
Scotland, why may not the United States pre
scribe a space around the Prihyloff Islands, in
whVih similar prohibitions may be enforced?
It must not escape observation that the area of
water outside the three-mile line on the coast
"fScotland, -whose control isassumed hi Great
Britain, is as large as would be found inside a
lino drawn from Cape Cod to Portland harbor
on the New England coast.
"Lord Salisbury reasserts his contention that
the words Pacific Oiean at the time ot the
treaty between Kuesnand Great Britain did
include Bering Sea. Undoubtedly tbe I'aciflc
Ocean includes Bering Sea in the sima sense
tbatthe Atlantic Ocean includes the Gulf or
Jlexlco, and yet it would be regarded as a very
Inaccurate statement to say that tue Mississippi .
rjver flows into the Atlantic Ocean. I think
.-JUnrd fcalisburj ral'sio recojmza the common
distinction between the Atlantic Ocean aud
tho water of the Atlantic While the Mexican
ouu i not apaico: the Atlantic Ocean.it
would. I am sure, comport with general "usage
to say that it belonged to the waters or the
Atlantic, and while BenugSca is not technically
a part of the PacificOcean.it undoubtedly
belongs to the waters of the Pacific
So Geographical Dispute.
The English Channel would not ordinarily
be understood as included in the term Atlantic
Ocean. One would not say that Hover or
Calais is on tho coast of the Atlantic Ocean,
and yet clearly tho English Channel belongs to
the waters of the Atlantic In point of fact
therefore, according to the usage of the world,
there is no dispute of any consequence betwecu
the two Govern nientson tbe rcotraphical point
tinder consideration. The historical point js
tho one at issue.
The explanatory note from Kussla, filed In
the State Department of this country, specially
referred to in Mr. John Quincy Adams' diary,
and quoted in nivuotc or December 17,1803,
plainly draws a distinction between the Pactae
Ocean on the one hanu ana tho Sea of Ouhott k,
tho Sea of Kamschatka and the Icy Sea on tbe
other; ana 8 lotig as Russia drew that dis
tinction it inus: apply to, aud mnst absolutely
decide all the' contention between the two
csuntriss, si Xaras tue waters t the Bering
Sea aro concerned. To discuss this point
further would. In tbe opinion of tho President,
contribute nothing of value to the general con
tention. "In the opinion of the President, Lard Salis
bury is wholly and strangely In error in making
tbe following statement: 'Nor do they (the
advisers of tbe President) rely, as a justifica
tion for the seizure ot British ships in tbe open
sea, upon tbe contention that the Interests ot
the seal fisheries give to the United States Gov
eminent any right lor that purpose, which,
according to international law. It wonld not
otherwise possess.'
Holds Just the Opposite.
"Tho Government of the United States has
steadily held just the reverse ot the position
which Lord Salisbury has imputed to It. It
holds that ths ownership ot the islands upon
which the seals breed; tbatthe habit ot the
seals in regularly resorting thttbor and rearing
their young thereon: that their going out from
the islands in search or food and regularly re
turning thereto, and all tbe facts and incidents
of their relation to the islands, give to the
Uuited States a property Interest therein! that
this property interest Was claimed and exer
cised by Hustia during the whole period of its
sovcretguty over the lands nnd waters of
Alaska, and that England recognized this
property Interest, so far as recognition is Im
plied, by abstaining from all Interference with
it during the wbolo period of Russia's owner
ship of Alaska, and during the first IB years of
mo sovereignly oi tue united states.
"It It j ct to be determined w hetber the lawless
intrusion ot Canadian vessel in 18S6 and sub
sequent years has changed the law and equity
of thecaso theretofore prevailing.
"I have tbe honor to be, with the highest con
sideration, sir, your most obedient servant,
Maxes U. Blaine."

Wildwood, May 7. Tbe Wlldwood
field looks decidedly blue. The southwest
end apparently is done for, unless John
Peepbles' No. 3, which is IS feet in tbe sand
to-night, should, on deeper drilling, fiud
somtthinj; to reverse the order of things.
The Koth Oil Company, on the L. Peepbles
farm, No. 2 was sbot yesterday and is mak
ing 100 barrels a. day, and No. 3, same farm,
was also sbot to-day, which for a short 'time
increased its production to 30 barrels an
hour. The old Alston well for the past 21
hours shows a gauge of 41 Inches, or abont 110
barrels. They were looking for the sand in No.
3, same farm, some time to-night, and No. 4
Alston is drilling in the sand and showing for a
15 or 20-barrel welL Sal Campbell Is through
the sana and making naturally 12 or IS barrels a
day, and Campbell No. 2 is also through the
sand ana is n. p., but may be converted into a
small well by tbe administration of a good-sized
shot of high explosive.
Greenlee 4 i orst's Good farm well is re
ported to be doing abont 100 barrels a day.
Beers fc Co., on the Kublber's No. 1, is in the
sand from 12 to 15 feet, with only a small show
of oiL Urimtli. Miller &. Co. put In the last
stnng'of casln? to-day in Ringheisen No. 6.
Tho Smith Farm Oil Company, on the Smith
farm, has the last string of casing in its No. 10,
and Black Co., on tbe Murray heir's also got
tbe last casing in their No. 4 to-day.
Waterhouse well, on the Whltesell farm,
xaaney v;ase, is doing jyo narreis a day. Ken
nedy Co. shot their No. 3 to-day with some
improvement. Black & Waterhouse aro
moving the rig from the dry hole on their
40 acres. Finch. Whltesell farm, SU0 feet "west
and close to tbe Bowman line, aud will drill a
well as soon as possible. Bowman Co., just
opposite Black & Waterbouse's rig, w meuting
this warlike manifestation by building two rigs.
Black & Co. aro paving a rig up ready for the
drill on tne Babb farm, about 1,000 feet nearly
north nt the Waterhouse producer. The old
Wlntescll No. 2, Griffith A Co., is making about
SOU barrels a day and is the largest well in tbe
held. This is a sad commentary on the spout
ing southwest of only ashore time ago, and
also demonstrates the fact that the Whltesell
is one of tbe most wonderful wells in tne his
tory of the white sand pools.
Tricks of Trade at Thorn Run.
TnoBN Run Since the beginning of tbe oil
industry many sharp games bave been played
in mystifying wells when iu tbe sand. About
the shrewdest trick in the line is reported in
tbe Tii or a Run pooh The well in question
belongs to the Kanawha Oil Company, and is
on the Onstott farm. This well was reported
through the sand and dry a powder horn,
but alter the party secured additional territory
the venture has turned out a producer.
It has now leaked out that Tom King, an old
tuner, and an adept in handling wildcat wells,
bas plaved a winning card, and gave those who
were watching the resul' of tbe well. a false
scent, 'lhe manner in which Tom worked the
scheme was unique. When be discovered they
had found oil he unscrewed about 25 feet of the
casing, pulled it out, plugged it up tight, and
then screwed it back ou again. Then, to avert
suspicion, he put a loose plug in tbe top oftbe
easing, which could be taken out by auyone.
When the company had secured what territory
It wanted, the plug was removed and the well
drilled iu, wblch is now doing 59 barrels a day
according to pipe line reports.
This is one of tbe most important wells
drilled in this field for Some time, as it is about
midway between Thorn Run developments aud
the Moon pool, which are about three miles
apart. The result of this well has opened
many acres of prospective territory and makes
the theory of a connection between tbe two
places highly probable.
W. L. Mellon's No. 4 Logan is In the sana and
showinz for a 75-barrel well.
A Ripple ot Excitement at McCardy.
McCurdy A little breeze was created in
tbe McCnrdy field to-day by Black 4 Co.'s
well, on the Menke farm, 1 miles northeast
ot the McCurdy pool, on a 229 line. This well
has been reported as a big gasser, but npon
deeper drilling found a pay from which the
well is spraying at the rate of 18 barrels a day
this evening.
When, the scout wno brought in the 'informa
tion left the well the digging was good, and be
looked for an improvement. The pipe line
people are putting in a line, and will connect to
the lank aB soon as possible.
The Elk County Pipe Line.
Elk Couxtt The Elk County Independent
Pipe Line is running in full blast, and handling
about 8.5IX) barrels a week, or a little over 1,200
barrels a day. The outlook for operations this
season in this Seld is that operations will not
be brisk, as all the available territory is owned
by a syndicate, who will not drill at the present
price of oil.
The Jishor Company's Work.
Cliff Mikes The Fisher Oil Company fin
ished drilling the 100-foot sand, in which the
well was dry. It intends drilling down to the
SD-rout. The same company commenced spud
ding tcrday on the Adaiusou No,2. and is build
ing a rfg fur No. 2 ou the tame farm.
