Washington, April 10.-The Presidents
Boring sea proclamation was issued this
morning. It bears date of April g. aud,
after reciting the act of congress, declares
that 1t is proclaimed TO the end that its
provisions may be known and OBJ
served. And / hereby proclaim that
every person guilty of violation
Of the provisions of said act viii be ar
rested and punished as therein pro
yided. and all vessels so en-
ployed, their tackle, apparatus, furniture
and cargo will be seized and forfeited'
Copies of the Presidents proclamation
were sent to-day TO the naval command
ers of the seal patrol, TO the collectors at
the Pacific ports and to other officers,
who may be able 10 give them publicity.
The sailing orders Of the feet and the in
structions 10 the commanders to govern
them in making seizures are almost COM
plete, but they will not be made public.
The proclamation of to-day does. not
differ in principle from tina. issued last
year. although II recites the provisions OF
the act Of congress and the findings of
the arbitration instead Of the modus
vivendi.
THE DEBATE N PARLIAMENT.
The debate in parliament yesterday
upon the seal bill has attracted much at
means prepared to admit the correctness
of the English statement that they have
misunderstood the provision of the bill
relative to Canadian sealing vessels that
clear before the act is promulgated.
1t is fully understood that these YES
sells may be seized if found sealing, but it
is contended that such seizures would be
of little avail when the masters knew in
advance that they would be released by
the Canadian courts as soon as they re-
turned to port. The chances of picking
up one of these vessels, deliber-
ately trying to evade the law
and to keep out of the
reach Of naval vessels in so vast a body of
water, as the North Pacific is so small as
to warrant the assumption that nearly
all OF them will succeed in taking valua-
BILE cargoes of sealskins, and in greatly
depicting the herds before they can be
seized and released.
What is desired by our government is a
provision in the English law that will de-
ter these poachers by the threat of
the loss of their vessels and cargoes if
they violate the law with deliberate in
tent The prospect of getting a free tow
to home port after capturing all the
seals desired is not believed to carry
dread to the poachers.

oARoL1NA's SUPREME COURT.

No Decision on the DispAnsary Law
Until Next Saturday.
Columbia, S. c., April 1O.-The supreme
court assembled in extra session to-day.
There was a large crowd present, in ex-
pectation of decision being rendered in
the dispensary cases, but the court, after
inquiring if any one had any motion to
make and getting no response, took a
recess until Saturday morning. when. it
is stated, the decision in the liquor law
will be announced. AS the as s before
the court came up under the first dispen-
sary act, it is likely that even if that law
be declared unconstitutional it will not
prevent the operation of the present law,
which was passed at the last session.
