Protection If Seals in
Behring Sea.
LAW WILL BE ENFORCED
Proposed Reform Concerning Immigra-
tion and Alien Labor.

WAsHIN oToN. March 1.-THE Behring
sea question is almost the sole topic OF
conversation in congressional and diplo-
matte circles. The comment upon the cor
respondence Is in tone of entire ap.
proval of the course of the administration
upon the subject. "Whartof7s letter to
Pauncefote," said Senator Frye, sis a
mastery presentation OF the American
case. IL not only maintains the right of
our government to protect our own seal
fisheries. pending arbitration but IL leaves
no loophole In which the British pre- mier
could logically refuse 10 renew the modus
vivendi OF last year.. Senators Morgan
and Blackburne, az we'll as other Demo
cratic senator's, take the same view.
The president remarked yesterday that
lie expected an early reply by cable TO his
letter Of tuesday. The prevailing opin-
ion is that Salisbury will not accede TO
our demand. In that event, the general
sentiment on both sides Of the senate
chamber Is that n large feet OF vessels
should be at once dispatched to patrol the
waters OF Behrin1 sea, and the poachers
and pirates seized at all hazards.
General j. w. Foster, who is assisting
the president in the Behring sea fisheries
negotiations had long conference yester-
day afternoon with Secretary Tracy and
Commodore Ramsay, chief Of the bureau
o n ayigation. 1t Is said the conference re.
lated to the course to be pursued by the
navy should Great Britain decline TO re-
new the modus vivendi in enforcing the
contention Of this government that pelagic
3 aling in Behring sea should be wholly
suspended pending the settlement by arbi.
tration of the controversy between the
United States and Great Britain. IL IL
asserted in some quarters that the navy
department is now we'll prepared to en-
force such policy, provided there is no re-
sistance thereto on the part of the British
government A disposition by that gov
ernmen. to resist any interference with
merchant vessels flying its flag. desiring
20 enter Behring SEA, would, how ever, put
an entirely different phase on the ques-
tion.
In the event that this government al
here's TO its policy OF last year, 1t will send
all the availa BILE vessels Mt its command
to Behring sea soon enough, If possible, 10
control all its approaches aud prevent the
entrance of all sealing vessels, American
rs well as others. The naval vessels that
can be used for this service are the Charles
ton, Baltimore and Ranger at San Fan
ci 'co: the Mohican, now on her way to
Port Orchard. Washington, with the Nip
sic in tow, and the Yorktown and Boston,
now en- route to San Francisco from Cal
lao. The revenue cutters Bear, Rush and
Corwin, now fitting out at San Francisco
for their annual cruise TO the seal islands,
would also assist In policing the restricted
waters

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
Matters OF Interest Connected Herewith
Discussed by Postma asters.

Discussed by stmasters.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE conference
Of postmasters yesterday recommended
in the government give guarantee of
$40 to all senders of registered matter, and
recommended adherence to the present
scale of registry fees. 1t was decided to
recommend to congress the passage OF an
act providing for compensation for sub
stitute carriers of 500 and not to exceed
s40O per annum. These substitutes are TO
be employed in relieving carriers on the
heavier routes and for incidental and ex-
traor,linary service. 1t was the unani-
nous judgment that an amendment to the
special delivery law should be asked, pro-
vi ling car-fare for special messengers EN-.
ployed TO deliver letters. 1t Is believed
this would so enlarge the scope Of the SER
wee as TO Ncrcase the receipts to the gov
ernment
The question of separation of mails on
railway postal cars was exhaustively dis
cussed. n was the conensus of opinion
that the separation should be made for
carrier routes, boxes and general delivery.
The conference has not yet taken action
on this subject A resolution authorizing
postrnasters to employ carriers on clerical
work was discussed, but negative con-
clusion was arrived ut. A resolution fa-
voring the adoption In large cities OF
pneumatic tubes, or other mechanical de.
vices for the transportation Of mails be-
tween depots, postoffices and stations, was
adopted 1t was decided to recommend to
congress an appropriation of go 900 for the
employment of experts, to report upon
means and devices to that end.

BusroS. March 1.-THE legislature. In

giving members salary of $50 a session
and au additional compensation OF 50 n
mile for every mile of ordinary travelling
from his place OF abode To the CAPITOL
has got into difficulties from which II may
have hard time extricating itself. by
the addition OF few words ostsnslbly to
clear the phraseology, by the senate com :
.nittee on third reading, the tenor OF the
Till has been 30 effcctuslly altered that
he governor, who IN known TO be opposed
10 the extra compensation clause, will n OF
nave 10 exercise any ingenuity at all 10
lind reasonable ground for vetoing II.
Ia preparing the clause relating TO re-
muneration it was made TO appear that
the s2 a mile. held out "a bait for mem
bers who would not give up the passes
without something to counterbalance the
loss in their pocketbooks, was purely and
simply compensation and not mileage and
this idea was made prominent throughout
the debate.
When the measure reached the governor
Ii was discovered that there had been an
amendment inserted on which action had
not been formally taken by either branch.
This amendment, IT. now 6auspires, was
made while the bill was in the hands OF
the senate committee on bills on third
reading.
II was believed by the reviser that the
portion relating To the compensation Ut
the speaker Of the house and the president
of the senat, was not graphic enough, and
IL was changed so that the % per mile
should he recognized by the casual reader
as mileage. This alteration, since IL was
meant by the committee merely n change
OF phraseology. was not rep rtcd To the
senate in the form of an amendment, and
that body passed IL for enactment, bliss
fully ignorant Of the tampering IL had un
dcryone.
The bill is now in the hands OF Attorney
General Pillsbury, who has been request ted
TO give IN opinion 10 the governor on its
constitutionality.
In the house the bill TO increase the
governors salary to 5000 per annum was
