Secretary Foster Asks the Attorney-General
II the Rents Can he Reduced.

WAsHINGToS. ID. c., Mar 12.- Secretary
Foster has asked the Attorney-General to
construe section 1868 Il. s.. as to whether the
annual rent Of the North American Com
mercial Company for the seal privileges can
be reduced or not. The lease of seal privileges
for the Islands of ST. George and st. Paul 10
the North American Commercial Company Is
for the period of twenty years. The rental Is
fixed at S60 900 per year, and the company
has p head tax on each seal killed and S1.63
for each seal skin taken. The number OF seals
% be taken each year under the lease shall
not be more than 100. 600. but In the discretion
of the Secretary Of the Treasury lesser num-
bcr may be fixed upon. and the number 10 be
taken each year IS left 20 his discretion. Gov
ornment agents have reported that the seals
are in fair way 10 he extermnated. and Sec
retary Foster is inclined % curiail the killing
g. the minimum He does not follow Agent
Ellotts recommendation, and prevent the
taking of seals in Alaskan waters

American Commercial Company, in view Of
this contingency. do not think that they
should pay a heavy rental for what they do
not get and have asked the Secretary of the
Treasury if he curtails the killing ofseals to re-
duce or remit altogether their annual rental.
I'm this dilemma Secretary Foster has called
upon the Attorney General for q construction
