'l THE Montreal Herald commenting upon the decision of the Pdl'is tribnnni says: “It has long been evident that thls was a dispute in which the arguâ€" ments asto th~ rights were ail on the one side. The vital abandonment hy the American counsel after the open- ing of the sittings cf the commission of their whole Case, and the snhstitw tion of a lot of new and funcifui reasons asjusiiiixarion for the course. taken by the American government, showed that the Americans themselves regarded t1 eir position as an untennhic one * * * Great Britain never wavered from the pcsivfion she assumed in 1886 when the first seizures were- made. Site denied the right of the United States to any contra} of the- waters of Behring Sea outside ofthu ordinary three-mile limit, and she dc- mandrd damages for the seizure and confiscation of British ships. As a matter of right she stood firmly on these points; as a matter of policy and intern, tionai comiq' she expressed her willingnvss to confer with the United States with a view to bring out a joint international res'iiction of Pelagic sealing in the interests of preserva- tion of the Species * * * Of course the finding makes the United States subject to damages for having seized British vessels on the high seas. Altogether the decision is one which completely vindicates Great Britain's attitude. THE drop in silver, says the Wall Street News, has been a. godsend to goid miners of California, for in sixty days the revival of quartz and placer mining in the Sierra and foothill regions has produced over $3,000,000 in gold. Many ah-mdoned claims are being opened, and no such eneraetic prospecting of old fields has been seen for twenty years as is now going on in California in 'I‘uolumne, Amador, Eldorado and other counties, through which the great “another lode” extends. With new appliances much ore which was formerly thrown away is now worked. THAT “there is nothing new under the sun” is again forcibly iilustrated hy the discovery reported by Mr. B. F. Stevens, of the United States Dispatch Agency in London, of the electrical apparatus once owned by Benjamin Franklin, and, as he claims, of the unquestionable fact that, during his last stay in England more than a hundred years ago, Franklin censtruct- ed an electric lignt for his own use sufficiently powerful to read by. Mr. Stevens says that the lamp used is still in a good state of preservation, THE Behring Sea. Tribunal ot Arbi- tration at Paris made their decision public yesterday morning. Briefly stated. the five points in regard to jurisdiction are settled in favor of Great Britain‘ A protected zone of sixty miles around the islands is estab- lished, and a close season from May I to July 31 is ordered. The decision it thought, makes the United States liable for damages for the seizure of British and Canadian vessels. THURSDAY. AUGUST 17, 1893. PORTER’S Bookstore. are one of them.

Mr. Moore then explained the draft of the contr‘xct which he had prepared in compliance with the request of the chair- man of the board. He stated that Messrs. J. G. Edwards and K111uby were tha sureties for the contractor, and wished to know if they were satisfactory to the board. He also stated that the contract called for the building being completed by the first of December, and asked what amount of penalty per day the board wished for the fnne enforcement of the contract; and what percentage they were willing to advance as the work pro- grassed. 7 After some little discussion the sureties were deemed sufiiciunr, but as there was :1 dnubv‘ in the minds of srnne inwnlmrs that if Mr Kiilaby’s name was entured as a. security it might, be the means nf dis- qualifying; him as a meznher of the tnwn enuncil it was deemed advisable to sub- srirute rherefure the name of Mr. Thus.

Hulda, the bay (laughter oquy Wilkes whose third heat in 208} at Buffalo last week stamps her the best trotting mare so far uncovered this season. She is a five year old inure, bred and owned by A.

Hulda. is exactly 15:1 hands high, is a rich hay. with black points, and is built on lioes of racy quality. Hulda has been precocious in more ways than in the matter of speed.
