close of the year a balance in current
assets of Sll, ,lSS, 900, against the net float
ing debt at the close of the preceding
year OF S6,S74,0O0. This is equivalent to

NOVA SCOTIA sEALERs CoMPLAI:

OTTAWA (Ont.), April IA. C. Ber-
tram OF North Sydney, Cape Breton,
owner of fieet Of Nova Scotlan sealing
scnooners, now on the way to Behring
Sea, had an interview with Sir Charles
Upper, Minister of Marine and Fish
cries, respecting the recent proclamation
of the mOduS UiUeRdj. He made strong
representations to Tupper of the loss
which the restriction to seal taking will
cause. From the harbor Of North Sydney
alone seven sealing schooners are now on
the way round Cape Horn bound for
Behring Sea. Bertram states the mOduS
Ciuendt will bear so hard OH Nova Scotian
owners of seal schooners that almost the
best thing that could happen to them
would be to have their vessels driven
ashore by storm so long as the crews
are not lost. In that case they would have
the insurance. Tupper is not able to hold
out any very great hope of immediate
better prospects for adventurous Nova
Scotan sealers, who take their Schooners
around North and South American fish
ing grounds to reach seals in the Behring
Sea.

BEHRING SEA QUESTION.

Report That Canadian Vessels VIII,
sail Under Mexican Colors.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-Oficers of the
State Department place no credence in
the reports that Canadian sealers propose
to enter Behring Sea under the protection
of Governments other than Great Britain
and the United States. They say both
countries would resent such palpable
fraud, and it is not likely any other coun-
try would consent 10 the use Of its flag for
the sole purpose OF violating laws of the
United States in regard to seal poaching.
An agent OF the North American Com
mercIal Company informed the Treasury
Department that ii was reported poachers
intended to sell their vessels TO MeXicans
and enter the sea flying the colors OF that
country, but no one OF the attaches placed
much importance to the report.
