The Seal Fisheries.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The secretary
Of the navy has issued instructions to the
naval and revenue marine vessels as
signed to enforce the modus vivendi,
prohibiting sealing in Behring sea. These
instructions differ from last years, in
three important particulars:
First Any vessel found sealing in
Behring sea is to be seized, whether she
has been previously served with a notice
or not.
Second-The mere presence of YES
sci in Behring sea, having on board
sealing outfit, is cause for seizure.
Third-Persons on board the vessels
seized will be sent as prisoners with the
vessel to suffer the penalty of the law.
Under the British law, all persons kill
ing, or aiding, or abetting in the killing
of fur seals in the Behring sea, are pun
ishable by fine of $500 and imprison-
ment at hard labor for six months. Un-
der the American law they are subject to
six months Imprisonment and fine of

DESTROYED by Fire .

WINNIPEG, May 1.-Sixteen or eight
cen buildings, covering nearly three acres,
were burned at O'clock this morning by
a fire which started under the stage of
the Princess opera house. The flames
spread with frightful rapidity, and as
the water works were closed down for re
pairs, the hydrants were useless and the
fire burned itself out. Among the places
destroyed were McGregor's iivcry, with
thousands of dollars worth OF harness
and all the wagons of the Dominion Ex-
press Company; Frost & Woods agri-
cultural implement warehouse, Green s
feed store, Balt's grain war house. six
private residences and two other stables,
besides a carriage repair shop and the
Salvation Army barracks. The Grand
Union hotel was in imminent danger, but
the firemen, aided by favorable wind,
saved the structure. An Uncle Toms
Cabin" company lost everything. Proc
tors opera house is also a heavy loser.
The total losses are heavy, but cannot be
estimated. The insurance appears to be
light.

Last week while Ike and Henry Stroud
were driving into the country sudden
lurch of the wagon threw Henry from the
seat, pitching him forward over the dash
board. The fall was too sudden for his
brother. who was driving, to prevent it. but
with his foot he turned Henry aside apd
prevented him from falling upon the heels
of the team. Henry struck his head upon
the ground, receiving some painful bruises,
and also lameing his shoulder. His injuries
were not serious. but painful enough to con-
fine him to his bed for some time. Ike
succeeded in stopping his team Just in time
to prevent the wagon wheels from passing
over his brothers body.

Judge David Davis, of Texas,
speaking of the local papers said
Each year the local paper gives
from $500 70 $1,000 in free lines
from the community in which it is
located. No other agencies will
do this. The editor, IN proportion
10 his means. does more for his
town than any other ten men, and
in all fairness with man he ought
to be supported, not because You
happen to like him or admire his
writing, but because the best local
paper ia the best investment a
community can make. IL may not
be brilliantly edited or crowded
with many thoughts, but financial
ly 1t Is of more benefit to a com.
munity than the teacher or preach

morally or intellectually, but Il.
nancially; and yet on the moral
question you will lind that most OF
