Kehna Defends American Sealers Rights in Alaska Waters
Representative Kehna of California, with Ways and Means backing, replies to Prof. Bistolt on American sealers. He notes none of the vessels seized fell within Alaska three mile limit, cites the arbitral board finding that US jurisdiction ends at the Abyee line, and says the government already paid British sealers. He argues American sealers, aided by revenue cutters, deserve court adjudication to settle their claims. The State Department’s demand for Russian indemnity undercuts the idea these men are pirates.

Iron trade reports steadier deliveries and rail fee dispute
New York dispatch notes improved iron and pig iron deliveries, especially north of the Potomac and east of the Alleghenies, with rising demand for spot and prompt tonnage. Railroads face a 2 percent per ton freight levy on Southern pig iron effective February 3, amid delays and old contract pressures. Middlesborough prices quoted at 101-2 pence per pound, with No 2 grade delivered duty paid at 1.50 to 30. Foreign iron sales favor immediate delivery over storage, while Central West activity includes 1500 tons sold for a major implement maker and 10,071 tons to two malleable foundries and a war builder. Structural mills receive growing orders for buildings and bridges, with large tonnages for Car Products, Lorain improvements, and St Paul road bridge work.
