NO MORE DISCHARGES YET.
What Chief Clerk Collins Says About
the Government Printing once EN-


pfoyes. -.-.. $500.
There have been no further discharges
from the government printing Office since
Saturday, when the AK fell with such fatal
effect. An effort was made this afternoon
to find out the exact number of those who
received the yellow envelopes on that men,
o-able occasion. bat Chief Clerk Collins told
The Star man that so far as he knew the
numbers in the various divisions who had
gone had not yet been added up.
An Interesting quesIIoII has Oeen raised by
some of the discharged employees Of the
Office. According to them there has been no
real decrease in the expenses Of the office.
and they maintain that the pay rolls will not
be so very much smaller after all. When
Mr.. Palmer was public printer there were
$3.50 employees in the office but there was
no claim that these all worked full time
Many OF them were furloughed from week
to week. and 1t is said that since the LIST
Of January none of the employees have had
a full days work.
Mr.. Palmer acted on the principle that il
was better to keep all these working at
least part of the time than to have a smaller
number making larger sum in wages. An
enort was made to see the new public print
er with reference to this matter today but
he had just left the building and 1t was not
thought that he would be back for some
Chief Clerk Collins said that inasmuch as
the reduction in the force was made last
Saturday, II was impossible to tell yet what
the exact reduction in the expenses of the
office would be. He claimed, however that
there was every reason to believe that IT
would be very considerable, especially as a
number OF those who were discharged on
Saturday were per diem employees. Any
further Information as to future changes in
the office was denied. as it was said that Mr.
Benedict himself was the only one EN-
powered to give out information for the
press.

Secretary Lamont has practically decided
TO make no further reductions in the cleri-
cal force Of the War Department until the
beginning of the next fiscal year. except
such as may become absolutely necessary
by reason of the completion of work now
in progress. The exception noted only ap-
plies, so far as known, TO a branch of the
war records Office. where the work. upon
which about a dozen clerks are engaged.

legislative. judicial and executive apnro-
priation bill, as at present composed. con-
templates reduction of about $50 in the
clerical force of the War Department, and
an annual saving in salaries of $iJOoO0
Nearly 800 of the reductions are in the
record and pension Office, and are caused
by the completion of portion of the work
OF that office. These changes will not take
effect until July l next, and Secretary La
mont has concluded not to hasten the dis
tress that will result therefrom.

PROTECTING THE SEALS.
The Bering Sea VIII BE Strictly Pa
trOlled This Year.

The sealing grounds of the Northern
Pacific ocean will be kept clear of poachers
this season more completely than ever be-
fore. unless there is a serious miscarriage Of
the plans of the naval officers detailed to
that duty. Capt. Clark Of the flagship Mohi-
n,who commands theAmerican patrol fleet,
has arranged his plan of operations with a
view to the enforcement OF a perfect COM
pliance with the regulations formulated by
the Paris tribunal of arbitration for the
protection of the sealing industries. The
flagship Mohican will patrol principally
about Sitka and Unalaska and will be in
port more than any other vessel of the
fleet. The Yorktown and the Albatross will
do more actual cruising than the other Ves-
sells, because of their greater coal capacity
They Will be sent to the western limits of
the sealing grounds. The Albatross will
visit the Commander group OF islands in
order TO ascertain what steps the Russian
government is taking for the protection Of
the seal species. During her cruise the
Albatross will run a line of soundings over
the southern part of Bering sea. She has
several scientists on board. They will be
landed on the seal islands for The purpose
OF making observations
The Corwin will also visit many islands.
but Will cruise nearer the base of supplies
than the other vessels. The Alert will
cruise between the Yorktown and the Cor
va, anu lhe remainder OF the sea Will be
divided into blocks for patrol by the other
vessels of the feet. Nine thousand tons Of
coal have already been ordered by the gov
ernment for delivery at convenient points
In Alaska for the use OF the fleet In case
any sealers are sighted I'm the prohibited
waters they will be seized without cere-
mony.
The British warships Pheasant and Hva-
cihth have been actively engaged for some
time In warning sealers to keep away from
the closed zone and II is expected that the
Canadian sealers, now away on their annual
"a u use, Will soon return TO Victoria, &c
Reports already received indicate that seals
are more plentiful along the Alaska coast
this year than ever before and the tempta-
uons for poaching are correspondinglv

have been taken against it,
