THE SEAL HERDS
Proposition to Extend the Enclosed Zone
Originated With Russia

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE propo-
sition made by the state department. to
extend the closed zone in the north Pa
clic along the thirty-lfth degree of longi-
tude, as defined by the Paris arbitration
westward to the shore of Asia, it now ap-
pears really originated with Russia, which
country was the first t5 perceive the in
efficiency of the present regulations to
protect the seal herds. Russia has al
ways asserted that the right, with the
United States. secured under arbitration
was the privilege of protecting seal in
Bering sea opposite their own coasts, but
the waters below are left unprotected by
the Paris arbitration. and the figures
gathered by Collector Milne at Victoria
last fall show the number of seals killed
on the Asiatic and unprotected side far
exceeded the number killed in the de-
fined zone east of the thlrty-fifth degree
in the open season.
When Secretary Gresham last August,
addressed note to the Russian minister,
| inviting his government to adhere to the
| agreement for protection of seals in force
! between the United States and Great
! Britain, he promptly replied as follows

1T MAY COME WEST
San Francisco and the National Convention
Proposition

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE opinion
is quite generally expressed by Repub-
lican politicians in Washington at this
time. that the next national Republican
convention may be held in San Fran
cisco. The California metropolis is looked
upon as one of the leading contestants
among the cities in the race for this con-
vention. and it is believed by members
of the natioal Republican committee, as
we'll as those on the other side, that if the
California metropolis makes the right
sort of a contest the convention prize may
be landed. AT the present time the only
active candidates in the field are Pitts
burg, st. Louis, Denver, Minneapolis and
Ch:clgo. New York, San Francisco, Cleve-
land ana Detroit are passive candidates.
Either of these cities, without making
any great effort for it, would be glad to
secure the conv ention. The only draw
back to San Francisco, of course, is the
distance. We're it not for the fact that
tl'" expense of the delegates would be con-
) d rably more, the chances for San Fran
cisco would be greatly enhanced. 1t is be-
lieved. however, that if any reduction of
rates can be secured this objection can
be overcome

AN ISTHMUS CANAL SCHEME
Mission of a Lieutenant of the San
Diego Post
General McCook Says the Business Is Of
Private Nature, but Rumor
Has 1t Different

DENVER, April 11.-General McCook
said today regarding the dispatch FROM
San Diego, Cal, that Lieutenant Baker
of his staff was about to sail from that
city for Nicaragua on government bust
ness:
Lieutenant Baker has gone to the
coast on matters of personal nature. He
has been invited to take trip down the
coast with party of gentlemen and has
obtained leave of absence. That is all
there is of it,.
From another SURGE it was learned,
however, that Lieutenant Baker had gone
to do some expert engineering for party
who have great faith in his ability as an
engineer, and it is believed the trip has
some connection with the Nicaragua
canal scheme.

public utterances and had thus endangered
the cordial relations of the two countries,
cannot be learned. 1t is also suggested
that the instructions, though actually
leaving Washington. never reached Ha-
waii but were stopped by telegraphic or
ders at San Francisco or some intermedi-
ate point.
