A Revenue Cutter Finds the Vessel In
the Prohibited Seal Zone.
WASHINGTON, Sept 25.-Captain c.
L. Hooper of the revenue cutter
Rush has reported to the sec
rotary Of the treasury the seizure
of the British steamer Beatrice on Au-
gust 20, within the prohibited zone
as fixed by the Paris award The
Rush overhauled a large number of
vessels, and on coming up with the
Beatrice, Captain Hooper himself
boarded her and found 40 seal skins
the taking of only sixty of which was
recorded on her log. Other eyiden ce
was secured, amply sufficient, it is
said, to justify the seizure, and the
vessel was taken to Unalaska, and
turned over to the British ship Pleas
ant.
While there are a large number of
sealing vessels within the zone en-
route home from Japan no irregulari-
ties were discovered. on any of them.
Five hundred and seven of these yes
sells were boarded, searched and their
skins counted since August 1. The
seisure of the Beatrice is said to have
been the only one made, so far asCap-
tain Hooper knows, since very early in
the season The sealers, Captain
Hooper says, scent danger, and are ac-
cOrdingly careful.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 25.-Yesterday
application was made to Comptroller
Finley by the tax collectors of Nc
Lennen and Hayes counties for prize

that Judge Hurts opinion, delivered
at Dallas last week, multiplying the
anti-prize fight law, is not binding,
and gliding Judge Hurts opinion in
error, in that it is impossible for two
conflicting provisions Of a statute in
