WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 14.-Sec-
retary Foster has asked the attorney
general to decide whether the annual
rent of the North American Commercial
company for seal privileges can be re-
duced. The lease is for twenty years.
The rental is fixed at 100000 per year,
and the company has to pay 81 head
tax on each seal killed and $7.63 for
each sealskin taken. The number Of
seals to be taken each year under the
lease shall not be moro than 100, 600,
but the secretary of the treasury may
fix upon lesser number. Government
agents report that the seals are in q
fair way to be exterminated. Secretary
Foster Is inclined to curtail the killing
to the minimum, and has called upon
the attorney general for a construction
of the law in the case. Forty sealing
vessels are fitting out at Victoria. B. G.,
and twenty at San Francisco. when
the pending controversy as to jurisdic-
ton in Bering sea is settled" said a
government official today, 'there will
be nothing to settle; all the seals will
have been destroyed"

RESUME OF RESULTS

An Interesting Resume of the Ses-

PIERRE, S, d., March EFF the or
binary routine work Of the late legis-
lature was interesting, what can be said
Of its closing hours-and Of its closing
days! The next to the last day was
quite as exciting as any, as 1T decided
the fate Of all bills not having been
through one house, the constitution re-
quiring that all bills shall lay over one
day before final passage and they can
become laws. There had been delay in
getting at the worlds fair bill and it
did not come up until that day-late IT
was, for il was II o'clock at night.
The measure being special appropria-
tion required two-thirds vote OF all
the mbers elect--eighty-two. 1t got
siXty-nine, there only being seventeen
against IL, but thirty-eight were absent
The absentees defeated the bill and l.
any of its friends had had the foresight
to have had a call Of the house it would
have been saved even at this late hour
But South Dakota will be represented
at the worlds fair just tho same! Ac'
tive steps will be taken at once to per-
feet some kind OF an organization for
this purpose.

She Finds 10 New Pet That Is Neither a
Dog Nor Snake,

Dog Nor n Snake,
BosToN, Mass. March 14.-Mme
Bernhardt has found new pet She
found 1T in New York the other day. II
is nothing more nor less than real
live little girl. The child is daughter
OF foster brother of the madame, and
is named Regina Emanuel. IL all hap
pened in this way. Tho madame is a
daughte of a French father and Dutch
mother. When very young she was
taken to France and there placed under
the charge OF a nurse whose surname
was Emanuel. This nurse had a son,
whose name was Francois. and who, ac-
cording the French view OF matters, be-
came foster brother of tho madam e's.
Early in life Francois removed from
France to America and settled in New
York, where be found business and a
wife. Among his children was girl,
who was named Regina.
When tho madame reached New York
on her last tour she was quite unex-
pectedly made aware of the fact that
she had an indirect relative in this
country, and making inquiries found
the little Regina and at once begged
permission 10 take her in charge.
The child is years old and already
gives promise OF becoming a beautiful
woman.
The madame has expressed her deter
mination TO educate the child in the
best school Of France, and will send her
to that country on April in care of a
nurse. Little Regina is a charming bit
OF childish innocence. She is said TO
be between and years of age, but is
so small as to look at least two years
younger. She is typical child OF La
Belle France, with rich dark complex
ion, black hair and large, sparkling
black oycs.
Little Regina goes shopping in tho
carriage with her new mother daily.
