WATCHING THE SEALS.
There Will Be Not a Little Trouble
About IT.


WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-As the time APP
proaches for putting into force the regula-
tons to protect seal life in Boring Sea it
becomes more evident that it will be diff
cult to make regulations in conformity
with the recommendations of the Boring
Sea Tribunal. The condition is that the
United States and Great Britain, even by
agreement and cooperation, cannot pro-
tect seal life beyond the three-mile limit
OF land and the islands, except against
their own citizens under their own flags.
Most OF the deDredatons in the past have
been 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 ma
ton not party to the agreement they
cannot be prevented from pursuing Pc
lagic sealing. Neither can the citizens of
those nations not a party to the agreement
be molested. The main task in prepara-
tion OF the regulations is therefore the Sc
curing of agreements from other nations
not to allow their flags to be used to pro-
tect depredators. The labors Of Secretary
Gresham and Sir John Pauncefote. Brit
iSh Emb assador, are believed to be d.
rected to that end. Russia and Japan are
believed to have already expressed will
lngness to cooperate. Whether the con-
sent Of any other nations has been secured
cannot be ascertained. There is a vast
deal to be arranged. So there is reason
for doubt whether the regulations can be
perfected before the sealing season opens.

They also stopped German sailing YES

CORBETT'S BENEFIT.
Glad That He 1as Won the Cham
pionsflip of America.


NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Fully 5000 people
attended the benefit reception to James j.
Corbett at Madison square Garden to-
night. The audience was perhaps the
most enthusiastic ever seated in New
York theater. Corbett received a tre-
mendous ovation when he appeared, and
in response to demands for speech, when
quiet was restored, he said:
Il am very thankful for your kindness
this evening. All can say is, l am glad l
have kept the championship of the world
in America, and L will always be ready to
defend that title"
The speech was loudly appIauded. Cor
bett and Creedon spared three rounds.
In an interview with the Worlds London
correspondent, the Marquis of Queens
berry said of the Corbett- Mitchell fight:
Very few Englishmen were greatly dis
appointed, for no one of any judgment
really expected Mitchell to win. Mitchell is
a man whom age aud ha bits preclnde from
even possibility Of success against such
a man as Corbett. The odds offered here
on Corbett showed the entire absence of
enthusiasm"

the passage of the consolidated Dill Is
assured beyond doubt.
The POpulists of the House have ar
ranged with the chairman of the commit

$4,000; per cent on 100000 to S1O0,OoO.
and per cent on all over 100000.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-The Mail and Ex-
press Washington special says: Although
no definite line of action has been deter
mined on by the Republicans In the House
upon the motion which will be made to re-
commit the Wilson tariff bill to the Ways
and Means Committee, with instructions
to strike out the income-taX schedule and
make other charges. the individual men,
bers of the minority express the opinion
that they will all vote against the recon-
initial.
There is not more than one chance in
twenty that the Wilson bill. even with
the income-tax schedule in it, will be de-
feated in either House on the final pass
age. but by keeping the two measures in
one the divisions within the Democratic
ranks will be greater and more bitter than
If the bill was recommitted TO the Ways
and Means Committee. The opponents of
the income tax within the Democratic
line are pointing out the fact that Samuel
j. Tilden. the great leader of the De-
mocracy. was so bitter against an income
tax that he refused to pay his while levied
for war purposes, and the Government
was compelled to collect it from him by
force.
Samuel j. Tilden. great constitutional
lawyer, declared the income tax unconsti-
tutional. inquisitorial and against our
form OF Government. The Democratic
enemies of the income tax are asking their
brethren whether they intend to repudiate
Tllden and his principles or have changed
front for the purpose of laying the ground
work for free trade.
