Washington. May 1S.-An arrange

The report coming from Victoria that
the British government had vacated
the sealing regulations because OF the
non-payment of the United States of

to be due to misapprehension. In view

OF the fact that the committee will
meet in October 10 consider these
seizures, there would be, it is stated.
no present ground of complaint for
non-payment Moreover, it is learned
that the report from Victoria, B. c.,
is based on a misunderstanding Of the
word sealing" which 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 sources the sub
stantial features of the text of the
new British regulations have been Sc
cured. Last year a rule was made
that sealers could go to Japan or other
proximate territory. where a British
| consul or other officer would seal up
the ammunition, guns, etc, used in
sealing. Vessels having arms thus
sealed up were allowed TO remain in
Bering sea during the closed season.
They were not subject to search and
seizure, as the seal on their arms was
a guarantee that they were not cap
turing fur-bearing animals. But the
British admiralty has found that this
rule is impracticable. In one case q
shipmaster concealed arms and used
them in the closed season, although
he had another set Of arms sealed up

other case; the apparatus used for life
saving was seized under the impression
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 YES
sells to go TO Japan or elsewhere 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
I by the Paris court of arbitrage. The
abolition of the rule will not, it is said,
permit the violation of the law against
the use of arms, etc, in the closed
season. British naval vessels will
patrol the sea as usual. and the list
of these patrol ships is daily expected.
