ure and denied that there is any trust To
enhance the price of binding twine where

iions 10 Enforce tAs lau.

WAsHIScroS. May 2.-The secretary OF
the navy has issued instructions TO naval

force the modus prohibiting sealing in Beh-
ring sea. These instructions differ from
those Of last Year in three important partic-
ulars
First. any vessel found sealing in Behr-
ing sea is to be seized whether or yot she
has been previously served with notice.
Second, the mere presence of vessel in
Behring sea having on board sealing out
MT, is cause for seizure. Third, all persons

as prisoners with the vessel TO suffer the
penalty of Law.

aiding or abetting in killing fur seals in
Behring sea are punishable by fine of
Eloo and imprisonment at short labor for
six months. Under American law they are
subject TO six months imprisonment and a
fine of $1,000.
Seized American vessels are TO be deli
vered TO the officers of the United States
District court at Sitka, and British vessels
TO the senior British naval officer at Una
