The Fisheries Question.

Wasaineron, Jan. 4.

The Department of State is un-ofticially advised that the owner's of British vessels seized in Behring Sea by’ American revenue cutters last summer for slleged violation of the seal fishing laws, have prepared claims against the Government for damages amounting to about half‘a million. Secre- tary Bayard declined to consent to the con- sideration of the claims in connection with the fisheries, on the ground that the two questions are entirely distinct and should be considered separate. It ig under- stood that Mr. Chamberlain and the other representatives of Great Britain expressed similar views. It is practically settled that the Canadian fisheries question will be con- sidered without regard tothe seizures in Behring Sea.
