The Sealing Poachers.
The officials of the State Department
place no credence IN the reportS that the
Canadian sealers propose to enter the
Bering Sea under the protection of govern
nentS other than of Great Britain aud the
United States. They say that both coun-
tries would resent such a palpabIe fraud,
and 1t Is not likely that any other country
would consent to use its flag for the sole
purpose of violating the laws of the United
States in regard to seal-poaching. The
agent OF the North American Commercial
Company has informed the Treasury De-
partment that it was reported the p0aehers
intended to sell their vessels TO Mexicans
aud enter the sea flying the flag of that
country, but no one attaches much import
ance to the report.
