An agreement has been completed be-
tween our government and the British gov
ernment for the suppression of sealing in
Bering sea waters from this time until May
of next year. The details were completed
on Monday when President Harrison
promptly signed his proclamation annomc-
ing the terms of the agreement and that
these will be rigidly enforced. Great Brit
ain agrees absolutely to prevent the killing
of seals within the boundaries agreed upon.
The United States does the same as to the
same boundary, except that the present
company is permitted to take 1900 seals for
the subsistence and care of the natives on
the island, and the United States is to
promptly use its best offices to insure the
observance of this agreement by the United
States citizens. The two countries agree
mutually to police the Bering sea to pre-
vent the capture of the seals, but the pun
ishment of the persons offending is to he
under the jurisdiction of the countries to
which the arrested persons may respectively
belong. Our government will Immediately
despatch two naval vessels from San Fran
cisco to Alaska, where they will assist the
three revenue cutters in the task of driving
off the poaching sealing vessels.

New England weekly weather-Crop

Bulletin.
The report for the week ending June
u says: The week just passed has been
characterized by warm, dry, sunshiny
weather. The nights during the first of
the week were quite cool and it is found
that the frost of the 9TH did more damage
than was thought, more particularly in
the northern states.
Drying winds and continued sunshine
have rendered the ground very hard and
dry, and rain is now much needed through
out New England. Grass is probably suf-
fering most and must be short crop,
especially the earlier grasses and on old
fields. New fields are reported better and
if abundant rains come soon there is still a
chance of much improvement in the later
grasses. Some farmers have been cutting
their earliest fields in Massachusetts and
Connecticut.
1t is too dry to set tobacco, although the
greater part of that plant has been set and
is now growing well. Strawberries have
been much injured by the dry weather and
in some localities in the southern Connect
icut valley are reported to be a complete
failure. Some report that potatoes and
garden crops are being slightly injured,
and in the south there is complaint that
potatoes have not done very well, but in
general these crops are doing well and hoe
ing is progressing rapidly. 1t has been a
very favorable week for corn and it has
made a fine growth, although on sandy soil
in the south this is beginning to feel the
effects of the continued dry weather. 1t
is reported that grain is maturing fast in
the south and that it is looking fairly well.
Fruits, both cultivated and wild, generally
promise abundant yield.

A Washington despatch says it is prob
able that the attorney general will soon
give an opinion on the question whether
the state of Vermont is entitled to be paid
her share of the direct tax, The comptroller,
it is understood, had once made up an
opinion in the case when it was decided to
turn the whole matter over to the depart
ment of justice for a final and conclusive
decision. The case is being worked up by
a competent officer of the department, and
it will in few days be placed before the
attorney general to decide for or against
the state of Vermont. The comptroller
and the officers from the department OF
justice were supplied with the facts from
the war department by the assistant secre-
tary, Gen. L. A. Grant.

Gen. vea.ey i'm the west.

From the Burlington Free Press.
The visit of Commander-in-C Chief Veazey
to the Grand Army departments of the Pa
cifc states has partaken largely of the ma
ture of a triumphal tour among the veter-
ans. In every city and town visited great
enthusiasm has been manifested and recep-
tions and speeches have been the order of
nearly every day. One of the most spirit
ed gatherings in honor of the commander
in-chief was that at Seattle, Washington,
concerning which the Post of that town
speaks at considerable length. Gen. Veaz-
ey made ringing speech in the course of
which he said:
wherever there is progress and enterprise and
good citizenship there the G. A. r. will flourish.
This greatest men of the nation from the Presi-
dent down, members of cabinet, congressman,
Judges and the industrial kings of the land are
proud to be known Grand Army men, and the
qualities that made them brave and fearless sol
diers combine to make them good citizens and
successful men"
Gen. Veazey expressed the opinion that
the Grand Army of the Republic had not
reached its climax and would not until 1898
when the national encampment would be
held at the worlds fair. The order num-
bers to-day, however, over 500, 900 mem
bers and the administration of Gen. Veaz-
ey thus far shows that no mistake was
made in selecting him cOmmander-in-chief.
Vermont always sends good men to the
front.

. The Massachusetts legislature, which
adjourned last week, prepared the way for
an interesting experiment in the direction
of so-called "nationalsm." A law was
passed authorizing cities and towns to sup
ply gas or electric lights for public and pri-

policy. They are not permitted to rush
into the business with haste, but must de-

Edward Augustus Hopkins, who died in
Washington last week, and whose funeral
and burial took place in Burlington on
Saturday, was man who had probably
done more than any other to establish
commercial relations between the United
States and South America. He was the
second son of the late Rt. Rev. Bishop
Hopkins of Burlington. and was educated
under his fathers care, Hon. f. j. Phelps
being a member of his class. He entered
the navy in 1910 as a midshipman, but
resigned after five years service, and in
1915 was appointed special agent of the
United States to Paraguay. 1t was in this
capacity that his services i'm behalf of the
commerce between the two countries he
gan, establishing lines of steamers. and
sending improved agricultural machinery
to South American countries. He then
went to Buenos Ayres and entered on his
successful career there, building the first
steam railroad in that country. His great
ambition since 1860 had been the building
Of railroad from Buenos Ayres to Para
quay and Bolivia, and at the present time
this road is in course of construction. He
came to Washington in December last on
mission connected with the International
railroad commission, and was there seized
with the illness from Bright's disease,
which proved fatal.

Another Bad Blow for the Calamity
Editors.
A San Francisco despatch to the New
York Tribune says: Seven tons of pig tin
from the Temescal mines have arrived in
this city and are now for sale in open mar
ket. This is a definite step, marking the
successful development of a new American
industry, as a direct result of the passage
of the Mckinley law. In a few months
the Temescal mines will be abundantly able
to supply the American market This
home market, too, is about to develop
largely through the establishment of tin
plate factories in the east, which will be-
come consumers of California tin. Consid-
cradle correspondence about this supply
has been exchanged between e. NJ. Robin
son, manager of the mines, and eastern
tin-pate manufacturers. The mines in
question have been shown to be the richest
in the world, and their future production
will be limited only by the market. For
several months experiments to determine
the best kind of machinery and furnaces
have been going on at the mines. Five
stamp mills and three or four kinds of fur
li"S0o " uy Illc experiment. vi using Oi
instead of coal for fuel were put in. The
oil furnaces have been successful. 1t has
been shown that the work can he done with
oil in half the time required with coal.
Large stamp mills, furnaces, ETC., are in
process of erection now, and an immense
establishment will soon be completed.
According to the present plans, year
hence the mines will be capable of turning
out 250O tons of tin year, with great
capacity for increasing this production.

From the Springfield Republican.

Two excellent things have been recorded
of the President the past week. He has
chosen good men to make up the private
land court. established under a law of the
last Congress, and has not confined his
choice Of judges to the Republican party.
He has, moreover, gone into the spols-
ridden state of Indiana and promoted to
the head OF the post-office at indianapolis
a man whose claims rested not on party
service, but on long and faithful record
as assistant in the office. Here are two
acts of conspicuous fidelity to the principle
of civil service reform such as we have not
had from a president in a long time.

The calamity editors are sure to be dis
appointed over the financial reports of the
government to be made on the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1t is now considered as
certain that the receipts from customs will
not fall below the estimate made by Secre-
tary Window last December, and that the
income from internal taxes will be heavier
than was expected, On the whole, the in
dications now are that the treasury will be
made stronger when the new fiscal year be-
gins than was even expected by the friends
of the administration. We are coming
through all right.
