The Costly Paris Convention Fails 20
Render Protection to Seal Life Against
the Columbian Poachers.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador,
called at the treasury department yes
terday morning and discussed with
Secretary Carlisle the preparation of
the new seal regulations for the ap-
preaching season.
A serious matter in connection with
this subject is the enormous cost to
the United States of maintaining its
patrol fleet in Behring sea. which
seems to be altogether out of proper
ton with the results obtained. The
discovery that seals can be killed with
almost as much facility on the
fishing banks eight miles from
Pribyloff islands, and outside the
prohibited zone, as on the islands
themselves, seems to render the
preservation of seal life a hopeless
task, and the joint patrol of Behring
sea a useless expense as far as the
United States is concerned.
Officials familiar with the seal ques-
ton concur in the opinion that the
Paris award provides no adequate
means for preventing the extermina-
ton of the fur seal by British Column
bian poachers.

THE wOOLGROWERS' GROWL.

The Free-wool Provision of the Tariff
Law characterized a Colossal PoIiti-
cal Crime.
COLUMBUS, O.. Jan. 1S.-The Ohio
Woolgrowers' association, in annual
convention here yesterday, adopted the
following resolution:
Resoired. That the free-wool provision of the
tariff act of August q, 1894. reversing policy
which has continued for more than seventy
eight years. is colossal political crime against
the industries of the whole American people,
and is an odiouS- unjust discrimination against
wOolgrowers. Its effect is. and will be, to send
gold abroad to buy foreign wool, thus to di-
miEish the revenue of the government and dis
turb the finances and the currency system OF
the country. 1t is devastating American fiocks,
destroying one source of demand for paStur-
age, hay and grain, diminishing the resources
of agriculturiStS, and titus impairing their
ability to patronize those engaged in indus
trial, commercial and other useful pursuits.

bers, succeeded in dislodging the enc
nv. with loss of fifty-four killed and

the President has sent q message on
the financial condition Of the country.
The resources of the treasury is not
sufficient to meet the disbursements,
gold is being drawn from the country
and the reserve is rapidly melting
away and so the President called on
Congress to aid him and asked them
not to take the regular holiday recess
hut to devise some means to increase
the revenues. The republican con-
gress quickly responded to his request
and to-day a bill will be introduced
which will increase the revenue fifty
millions of dollars by All increase OF
duties on imports. The articles affect
ed Will be lumber, wool, WOODEN goods
agricultural products, tin plate and
cotton ties. La the case of wool which
is now on the free list the duty is to he
60 per cent OF what it was under the
Mckinley law. On agricultural prod
ucts the present duty is to be raised
% per cent and on tin plate and cot
son ties 10 per cent.
In addition to this the bill will pro-
vide for the issuing Of 3 per cent
