Director Barwck Reports on Crops and
Weather

Director Barwick Reports on Crops and
Weather
SACRAMENTO, May 13. 3.-Director Bar
wick of the California weather service, in
his weekly crop report ending on the
18th, summarizes as follows:
The average temperature for the week
ending May 18th was; For Fresno y, In
dependence 6S, Los Angeles 66. Sacra
mento 10, San Francisco 66. San Luis
Obispo 6S. and San Diego 81. AS COM
pared with the normal temperature there
was an excess of heat as follows for the
weather bureau stations named: Fresno
degrees, Los Angeles 3, Sacramento &,
San Francisco 8 and San Diego II.
Haying was more rapidly advanced on
account Of the high northerly winds dry
ing out the ground so teams and ma
chimes could enter the fields. 1t has de-
stroyed the cutworm and also the mildew
on grapes and rust in grain tnat had
made its appearance on account OF too
much moist. cloudy and cool weather
during the previous week. Haying is
being rushed from one end of the state to
che other, and the crop is reported as
good in yield and excellent in quality.
High winds damaged considerable early
fruit by whipping it off the trees, thereby
doing away with thinning by hand.
What fruit remains will no doubt mature
finely.
Cherries seem to have been the most
damaged of any fruit. The general out
look for fruit. hay grain. grapes and
hops has been advanced by the beneficial
weather of the week.
Frosts are reported from Siskiyou
county, which may slightly damage the
fruit CROP but that crop in the mountain
counties is consumed in the locality in
which it is raised. therefore an excess or
deficiency in that region cuts no figure
in its effect on such crops in the valley
portions of the state.
The highest temperature was 9S in the
San Joaquin valley, and from 94 to 96 in
Southern California, the hot wave of the
week being, therefore, not a local one.

THE SEALING CONTROVERSY
Treaty Commission on Claims to
Meet in Washington
THE LOCKING UP OF ARMS
Misapprehension the Cause OF the Action
of Canada
1t Was Claimed That Sealers Had Two Sets
of Guns, Only One of Which Was
Sealed by the Consul

WASHINGTON. May 13.-An arrange
ment has been effected between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain in which
October is set for the time of the assem-
bling in Washington of committee to
negotiate a treaty as to claims OF sealers
on account OF Berng sea seizures. Dele
gates will come from Canada to meet the
authorities here.
The report coming from Victoria that
the British government had vacated the
sealing regulations because OF the nom
payment hy the United States of the
S425, COO claimed for seizures is said to be
due to misapprehension. In view OF the
fact that the committee will meet in Oc-
tober to consider these seizures there
would be. it is stated. no present ground
for complaint Tor non-payment. More
over. it is learned that the report from
Victoria. b. c., is based on misunder-
standing of the word sealing" whi ch
does not apply to the seal animals but to
the locks or seals by which implements
used in sealing are locked up during the
closed season. From authoritative sour
ces the substantial features of the text of
the new British regulations have been
secured.
Last year rule was made that sealers
could go to Japan or other proximate ter
ritory where British consul or other
officer would seal up the ammunition.
guns. etc., used in sealing. Vessels hay
ing arms thus sealed up were allowed to
remain in Bering sea during the closed
season. They were not subject to search
II.
a guarantee that they were not capturing
fur bearing animals. But the British ad-
miralty has found that this rule is i'm
practicable.
In one case ship.naster concealed
arms and used them in the closed seas on,
although he had another set of arms
sealed up as guarantee against inspec-
tion. In another case the apparatus used
for life saving was seized under the i'm
preston that it was for killing seals.
Owing to these objections, the British
authorities have determined to abolish
this one rule, but not all of them, and
notice to that effect has been given. The
effect has BEEN to make it unnecessary for
vessels to go to Japan or elsewh ere and
have their arms sealed up during the
closed season.
1t is said, however, this will not permit
British ships to poach during the closed
season. The law against this is in the
British statute books in the same words
as adopted by the Paris court of arpitra-
tion.
The abolition Of the rule will not, it is
said, permit the violation of the law
against the use of arms in the closed sea-
son. British naval vessels Will patrol the
sea as usuai, and the last of these patrol
shi ps is daily expected.

Secretary Herbert Says Ship Build.
ing at the Navy Yards Has Been
Tagging for Years-Contractors
Are Also Allowed To Escape Pom
Fines Imposed.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Secretary Her
bert last evening stated that published
statements that he had ordered work on
vessels under construction to be expe-
dited were entirely correct. "The ships
building in the navy yards have been
tagging for years, ;" he said Fora long
time the delay was for want of armor,
but armor is now being furnished
promptly. The Texas and the Maine,
the former of which has Just been put in
commission and the latter of which will
be in few days, really ought to have
been in service months ago. Officials at
navy yards naturally desire to keep a
regular force steady employed, and the
disposition is to take workmen from the
ships that are building and do repair
work with them, putting them back
when the repair work is completed. Not
only have the Texas and Maine been de-
layed by this practice but also the moni-
tors Terror, Monadnook and the
Puritan. All these ships ought to be
now in commission, and l have ordered
that they be pushed to completion. Pre-
cisely the same reasons which have
operated to delay the building of ships
at navy yards naturally influence con-
tractors. They are some times tempted
to neglect government work and use
part of the force on the government ships
to do outside work as it comes in.
1.-The contracts all provide penalties
for failure to complete work in time.
Penalties for delay have frequently been
imposed upon contractors by the navy
department, but, unfortunately, congress
has in almost every instance, when it
was asked, relieved against these penal
ties. The effect of such acts is neces-
sarily demoralizing The department has
recently given orders to push all work on
navy yard ships and has also been urging
the contractors to increased diligence. 1t
Is to be hoped that penalties incurred in
the future for delay will be allowed to
stand.
There Is really nothing about ship
building that now renders it difficult in
the United States. No good reasons can
be given hy.ships authorized by congress
should not be completed with reasonable
dispatch. and am simply insisting on
prompt compliance with contract obliga-
tions. We have already shown that we
can build ships and guns equal to any In
the world, and hope our ship builders,
who are now looking for contracts
abroad, will demonstrate to the world
that ships can be built not only as we'll
but as rapidly in the United States as
anywhere in the world. OF course | am
pushing along the manufacture of ordi-
nance and everything else at the same
time"
