ing" which does not apply to seals by
which implements used in settling are
locked up during the closed season. From
authoritative sources the substantial
features of the text of the next
British regulations have been secured.
Last year a rule was made that sealers
could be moved to Japan where BRUSH
consul or other officer would seal up the
ammunition, guns, etc, used IN seallng'
| Vessels having their arms stacked up
were allowed to remain in Behring sea
during the closed season, and were not
subject to search and seizure, as the seals
on their arms was a guarantee that they
were not capturing fur-bearing animals.
But the British admiralty has found that
this rule is impracticable. In one case
ship master concealed arms and used
them in the closed season, although he
had another set of arms set up as
guarantee against inspection. In another
case apparatus used for life saving were
seized under the impression that it was
for killing seals. Owing to these OBJ
jectiOns the British authorities have de-
termined to abolish this one rule, but not
all of them, and notice to that effect has
been given. The EJECT of this Is to make it
unnecessary for the British vessels to go
10 Japan or elsewhere and have their
arms sealed up during the closed season.
1t is thought, however, that this will not
permit British ships to poach during the
closed season. The law against this is
in the British statue books in the same
words as adopted by the Paris court of
arbitration. The abolition of the rule
viii not it is said, permit the violation of
law against the use of arms, etc, in the
closed season. British naval vessels will
patrol the sea as usual and the first Of
these patrG' ships is daily expected.

Washington, May 13.-Justice Jacksoi

Enorrow with the expectation of return
ing i'm time for the October term of cour
and his dwelling is being put in repair IL
expectation of making his permanent
residence here.
The whole number of returns under the
qncome tax law is approXimatcd at l0,OW
and the estimate is made that this repre-
.sents not more han Is per cent Of the
number of persons legally liable under
rke law. The recent decision Of the court,
Il sustained next Monday, as now re,
.garded, the delinquents will be proceeded
against as rapidly rs possible. 1t is as
scented that the persons who have lailed TO
make returns have done so with clear
understanding Of the law and in many
cases have refused to comply with it on
legal advice, preferring to take their
chances Of being compelled to pay the
penalty.
1T is learned definitely that the conclu-
sion was reached at Saturdays consul
confidently expected TO have the opinion
ready for announcement next Monday.
No authoritative statement as to which
way the decision went can be secured
bnt all that can be learned goes to cor
-roborate the Associated Press report of
Saturday that the Indications favored the
uphOlding of the law on points that re-
main. A member of the court is re-
sponsible for the statement that there
will probably be two opinions, and while
he did not go to the extent of indicating
on which side the majority of opinions
would be he said that Il member of the
majority would write the opinion on that
side, which would be the opinion Of the
court. while some member of the minority
would express the opinion on the other
side and there would probably be no indie
pendent individual opinions as before.
The present intention is to make the
opinions comparatively brief. They will
cover only the questions left undecided
in the first decision ms TO whether the
void provisions cover the whole act,
whether the act as it affects incomes
from personal property, is unconstitu-
tional because it provides for direct taxa
ton Of them, and whether the tax Isl
invalid on account of uniformity. The
understanding now is that Justice Har-
Ian will prepare the majority opinion
sustaining the law. The court at the
same time will render opinions in a large
number Of other cases which have been
argued. Adjournment for the summer
will not be reached until the following
Monday, the 9th inst.
Senator Voorhees, expressed the opinion
today that the law, as it stands, without
taxing rents and public bonds. would
when it is in complete operation bring in
"a revenue of $20,000,000.
