L F It must have been noted by [those iwho followed the arguments of the pNmeriean counsel in Paris that their .contentions changed as the argument proceeded. They first set up the claim to ownership and control of the Behr, ting Sea, or, in Latin phrase, the more lclausum theory. When the fallaeious character of this contention was ex- posed, they found a new argument in the (contra [Jonas mores theory, that is, that pelagic scaling was contrary to good manners. But when it was shown that "good manners" had nothing to do with the case, the Americans start ed another theory. They asserted a property right in all seals found in the l waters of the Behring Sea, alleging that they were all born on the J?ribr- loff Islands, which are owned by the United States, and that these seals, on leaving rookeries, were possessed of an animum r?oertweli, that is, an intention _ of returning to these same rookeries. Thereupon, it was proved thatall these seals are not born on the Pribyloff \rookeries. and that there is no evidence twie seals invariably return to the islands on which they were born. As Sir Charles Russell facetiously observ- ed. it would be interesting to ascertain _ whether the seals possessed an inten- tion to return "to the sea or to the land! r. E. J. Phelps, on the behalf of the nited States, also gravely asserted 'the right of the seals to their blame, s lite." Great Britain on the contrary, "stuck to her text" throughout the whole ar gument. The president of the arbitration tri, bunal is Baron Alphonse Chaudron de Courcel. He was born in 1835, and after having had conferred on him a degree in a. German university, enter. ed upon a diplomatic' career, and made his debut on an attache to the French Legation in Brussels, In 1861 he was appointed a. second secretary of the embassy in St. Petersburg, where, in 1867, he was promoted minister pleni- potentiary of the second class. 1877 he was nominated director of public " fairs, and in 1880 he became a minister plenipotentiary of the first class, and fmsllya state counsellor.

Failing thesq assertions ,of right, the United Stares claims that {ales shall be frames in the ia, tarests of the JJpited States alone, which shall exclude other nations from the pur- suit of fur seals. 4. {Failing the es- tablishment of the right property, the United States claims a right to protect the seals in the ocean, and to apply, in as- sertion of. that; right, the like sanctions of search, seizure and condemnation. 3.

Some of the. big wheat buy- ers are quoted as of the opinion that the spring wheat will not reach Mr. Jones' figures by from 20,000,000 to 30,000,000 bushels, and, should their prediction be realized, there would be little to export, but, as a matter of fact, the outlook is brightening every day and the chanau, are favorable to a bigger crop than even the liberal es- timators have figured out, Canada's de- fieieney willnot be less than 12,000,- 000 bushels. Summed up, the condi- tions indicate that the wheat crops for A WHEAT snowman EN THE UNITED STATES. According to recently received PP- ports, the wheat crop in the United States is likely to fall below that of 1892. The spring wheat crop will hardly be as heavy as it was last year. _ Mr. George o, Jones, of considerable‘ experience in crop and financial fore- sshaowing,d holds that the shortage will be quite general, In Europe the, average yield for the past seven years was 1,262,000,000 bushels while the liberal estimates for this season do not exceed 1,070,000,000 bushels. In Asia, Australasia and South America the average was 428,000,000 bushels, while in the United States and Cana- da it footed up 520,000,000 bushels, The estirzvstesifot' 1893 are, respectively 440,000,000 and 418,000,000 bushels, so the shortage is going in some coun- tries to be really serious.
