PELAGIC SEALING.
1t is to be Totally Suspended for Mum
Der of Years.

Der OF ears
WAsu1SGToN, January 19.-The Secre-
tarv of the Treasury has about completed
his regulations for the government OF
vessels employed in fur seal fishing DUR
ing the coming season. These regua-
tions. it is said, will not materially differ
from those in operation during last sea-
son. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
Ambassador, had q conference with Mr..
Carlisle to-day, and it is thought that IN
essential particulars the regulations to
be issued by the British government Will
not materially differ from our own. An
other matter, however, OF lar greater
importance to the sealing industry is
now under consideration. Assistant Sec
rotary Hamlin last summer visited the
Pribyloff Islands, and investigated the
whole sealing question. He has now
about completed his report to the Secre-
tarv on the subject. The report has not
been made public, but it will show the
greatest menace to the life of the seal IS
pelagic sealing and not the number per-
mitted to be taken on the islands. 1t
will also show that the action OF the
Paris tribunal has proven to have fallen
short OF preventing the Wanton slaugn-
ter of seal life, which may soon result IN
the total destruction of the herds, since
seals may be freely killed sixty miles
from shore. AS these are mostly females,
the increase of the herds is prevented.
Another provision of the Paris award
which is said to have been abortive is
that no firearms shall be used within the
sixty-mile zone. The most successful
natives, it is stated, never use firearms,
the spear or harpoon being far more eff
fective, and it is in general use. In view
of these facts it IS believed steps are
about to be taken to secure England's
consent to modification of the Paris
award, having for its object the total
suspension for number OF years OF PEI
lagic sealing within the Behring Sea. No
measure less heroic than this, it is
stated, can prevent the ultimate extinc-
ton OF seal life in these Northern waters.

WAsluNGroN, January 2l.-The treas

not excite any uneasinees among the
treasury officials, and up to this time
there is no talk in authoritative circles
indicating All immediate issue OF bonds.
The general treasury condition Is good,
kept so by the heavy receipts, which are
constantly increasing. a further IN
crease is looked for next month and the
month after. Assistant Secretary Cur
tbs said to-day that from the present
outlook the receipts for February Will

lures. January is always the month oil
heaviest expenditures OF any OF the
twelve, and this month in addition to
the heavy interest payments more than

NO CHANGE OF PARTY.

WASHINGTON, January 2l,-"The cleo
ton of Nj. Faure," SAYS jules Fatenotre,
the French Ambassador TO the United
States, means change in the name OF

of political party. NJ. Faure was mem

DAYS ago, and is therefore friend OF NJ.
Casimlr- Perier. 1t is not likely that
there will be "a change in politcal policy,
as the same party to which M. Caslmlr-
Perier belonged is still in power. 1t is a
fortunate thing, think, that we do not
DELAY in France in making our political
changes. Not more than forty-elght

his resignation, and here We have his
successor selected. Quick action in such
cases serves to bring quiet to the conn-

when the office of President is vacant
and Ministerial crisis is at hand. W hat

full to be enabled to retlre."
As to the cry Of Long live the KING"
uttered bv the Duke of La RoChfOnld IN
the Chamber of Deputies when NJ. Cas-
mir Perier's letter had been read Nj.
Patenotre said it meant nothing. such
cries were always to be heard at such
times, but the royalists had no power IN
the administration of affairs. There are
scarcely twenty-five OF the royallst party
in the chamber, said the Ambassador.
NJ. Patenotre has known the new Pres
ident of France for twenty wears, but
they have not seen much of each other,
as the AMBASSADOR has been absent from
his country on diplomatic service during
most of that time.

certain persons connected with one OF the
great Libraries Of Florence took an inter

there. II was then that his wonderful
memory began to show itself. II seemed
as If one reading of any book so i'm

one of the instances OF this was re ord

gentleman Of Florence had written a
book. and, liking Magliabe hi, had lent
him the manuscript to read. some tms
later Magliabechi having read ard return

and il is the testimony Of those who
have chronicled the tale that the Maglia-
bechi copy did not differ in the slightest
degree from the original which had not
really been lost, and with which Ii was
afterwards compared.
