The sealera Of this city. says the Call.
are not satisfied with the shape In which
the regulations for 1896 have come to the
custom house from the treasury depart
ment. Broker W. H. Thornley,, who at
tends to the entire sealing business OF
the city, explained why yesterday after
noon. He said: "If you remember, the
shape in which the regulations have come
is simply this: On one side Of the print
ed sheet Is n blank special license and on
the other the regulations. Now, the
sealers want something on which they
can safely rely How do we know that
no sooner than some of our vessels have
started out the treasury department will
change the regulations In some way or
other? What we want Is regulations
signed by the secretary of the treasury
as a guarantee that they are complete
and trustworthy. ] have been trying TO
urge Deputy Collector OF Customs N. s.
Farley to write to the department for
such, and we think 1t ought to be done
This sealing business is a pretty respon-
sible one. and when man is under $4,000
or $4,000 bonds he likes to be sure OF
every step he takes. Our vessels are all
tied up here yet. with the exception of
three. awaiting satisfactory regulations
The Washington authorities ought to
consider the sealing interests of this port
as worthy OF timely and proper atten-
ton" The three sealing schooners which
have already put to sea-which sailed, for
that matter. before the regulations came
-are the Eppinger, the Alton and the
Kate and Anna
