THE TERRITORIAL LIMIT.
RUSSIAN CLAIM FOR TWELVE MTLES OFF SHORE. By TclccraDb—l'rcss Association-Oopyrlelit (Rec. Juno 7, 0.35 a.m.) London, Juno 6. Renter's St. Petersburg correspondent states that (he Russian Council of tho Empire has adopted a twelve-mile ssa limit on the Amur coast of Siberia. Tho new limit will be operative half a year after notification to Japan. Russia has recently put in force, a twelve-mile limit in tho White Sea, a proceeding against which tho Foreign Office has pretested in accordance with traditional British policy. Tho > representatives of the line fishermen in Scotland and elsewhere arc, however, anxious that tho Foreign Office should modify its view, and instead of seeking to prevent Russia from taking this step, should rather seek to recover freedom of action for the United Kingdom, which is at present bound by the North Sea Convention, and by international agreement to fix a general twclve-milo limit against steam trawlers in the permanent interest of tho preservation of British fisheries and the fishing
population.
