THE CATCH OF SEALS.
Uncle Sam Has a Row on With
Great Britain,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British minister, has
officially called the attention OF the
United States to a violation of the
terms of the modus vivendi in effect
between the two countries, as to the
catch of seal in Behring sea. By the
agreement between the two countries,
the North American Commercial COM
pany which leases the seal islands from
the United States was restricted in the
catch of seals this year to 1900 skins. 1t
is alleged that the commercial company
has exceeded this catch. thus violating
the modus vivendi, and the British gov
eminent has called the United States to
account for it.
Special Agent Williams, Of the treas
ury department, has made special re-
port on this branch of the seal ques-
ton, and his report was to-day forward
ed to the state department, with the
request that its contents be laid before
the British minister for transmission to
the foreign Office in London. The con-
tents of Agent Williams report cannot
be accurately aScertained, but it
is understood that he makes the admis-
sion that the North American CONNER
cial company has exceeded the limit of
JilC cdtCu-f,OUO ShlHS-UX6U Dy the
modus vivendi The matter is regarded
here as quite important. and may lead
to the modus vivendi being declared
imperative after this date. A govern
ment official who is familiar with
the Behring sea question, In
speaking this afternoon of the
complaint made by Sir Julian Paunce-
fote that this government had violated
the mOduS vivendi in regard to the kill
ing of seals, said that the question was
on the construction of the treaty of
June Is, 1891. which allows the North
American Commercial company to
take $500 seals. The treaty went
into effect June Is, to expire
May 2, 1892; and the question is whether
the company was to be allowed to take
$500 seals after June Is, or whether
that treaty allowed it to capture this
number of seals during the entire sea-
son, which went into effect before the
treaty was signed. That official said
that no trouble need be anticipated in
settling the difficulty.

MILLIONS INVOLVED.
A Minnesota Bank Raises an I'm
portant Question.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-The ques-
ton of the constitutionality of the tax
of one-half OF one per cent imposed
semi-annually on national banks is
raised in case before the courts of the
District of Columbia against the treas
urer of the United States. Treasurer
NebOker has just been served with the
summons, and the question will proba-
bly, soon reach the supreme court. The
bank bringing the suit is the Twin City
National Bank OF New Brighton, MINI.
The ground for questioning the consti-
nationality of the tax Is that this por-
ton of the banking act originated in
the senate. The constitution provides
that sail bills for raising reve-
nue. shall originate III the house
of representatives" The senate,
it is claimed, has authority to
propose or concur with amendments
as on other bills" but the contention in
this case will be that the banking act
was not bill to raise revenue when 1t
reached the senate and could not be
transformed into such bill by the SEN
ate. There are other grounds upon
which the tax is contested in the partic-
ular case before the court. If the con-
stitutionality question should be decided
in favor of the bank, il might open the
way for great multitude of suits for
refund by the banks throughout the
country. The statute of limitations
would probably prevent the recovery of
all these payments back to the organiZ-
alton Of the national banking system in
1854, but it would take more than S10,-
100000 to refund the taxes for the past
i've or six years.
