A HARD TASK.
Difficulties In the Way of Protecting
Seals fn BerinE Sea.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-As the time ap-
proaches for putting into force the reglIla-
tions to protect seal life in Bering sea Il
becomes more evident that it will be diff
cult to make regulations in conformity with
the recommendations Of the Bering sea
tribunal. The condition is that the United
States and Great Britain, even by agree
ment and cooperation. cannot protect seal
life beyond the three-mie limit OF the land
and the islands, except against their own
citizens under their own flag. Most of the
depredations in the past have been commit
ted under the British flag by Canadian
sealers. This can be put a stop TO. But IL
these Canadian sealers can sail under the
Corean flag, or that OF any other nation
not a party 10 the agreement, they cannot
be prevented from pursuing sic seal
ing; neither can the citizens OF nations not
party 10 the agreement be molested. The
main task In the preparation of regula-
tions is. therefore, the securing of agree
mvnts from other nations not 10 allow their
flags TO be used to protect depredators. The
laborS of Secretary Gresham and Sir Julian
Pauncefote, British ambassador are he
leved to be directed to that end Russia
and Japan are believed TO have already eN-
pressed their willingness to cooperate I'm
the measure To protect seal life in Bering
sea Whether consent of any other nation
has been secured cannot be ascertained
There is a vast deal OF detail to be ar
ranged I'm the perfection of regula tions, such
as defining the zones OF the seas about the
over which the United States has absolute
jurisdiction. So there Is reason for doubt
whether the regulations can be perfected
before the sealing season opens.
