evening from Behring Sea, brought 10000
seal skins, consigned to the North Amerl-
can Commercial Company. 1t also brought
information as to the movements OIL the
revenue cutters, Richard Rush, Albatross
ana Bear.
Captain Al White received a letter by the
Arago from sailor on the cutter Richard
Rush. i'll which he detailed what was trans
piring in Behring Sea. According to TINS
information the United States revenue cut
tiers are making no seizures IN Benrlng sea
They do not seem TO be in northern waters
on warlike purposes for the reason that
they are cruising in every direction and
simply warning the poacheIs 10 get OUT OF
the disputed waters. Captain whites
informant states that the revenue cut
tiers simply go up to the poachers
and tell them to get cut of the seal districts
over which the United States claims eXclu-
sive jurisdiction. In every case up TO the
departure Of the Arago the poachlng seal
ers have complied with the request OF the
revenue cutters and sailed away. The OBJ
ject of the Rush and Bear seems to be to
clear the sea of all poachers and not TO
make any seizures which might involve Tue
United States in some difficulty, considering
the nature Of the Behring Sea controversy
at the present time.
The correspondent by the Araso also
sent down the information that the
seal catch for the present year was very
poor, and would not compare Will the
catches of the last five years.
If the contents of the letter received by
Captain White represent the condition OF
affairs in Behring Sea, there Is no prospect
OF any serious trouble.
