FOR a JOINT COMMISSION.
Negotiations to Secure Needed Bering Sea
Regulations.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. 1s.-An
interesting bit of diplomatic news was
made public, unofficially. by Assistant
Secretary Hamlin at to-days meeting of
the House Committee on Ways and Means.
1t was to the effect that the State Depart
ment is now in correspondence with the
British Foreign Office looking to the ap-
pointmenu of a joint commission to in
vestigate all the conditions connected with
the fur seal industry in Bering Sea and to
consider and report what further regula-
tions are necessary for their preservation.
In order that the work of such a COM
mission should be effective, it is desirable
that Russia and Japan may also become
parties thereto, but their consent, it is well
known, can be easily secured.
Assistant Secretary Hamlin appeared
before the commission with reference to
the Dingley bill creating joint COM

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. ia de-
cision has been rendered by the Comp
tfoIler of the Treasury that no legal au-
thority exists by which naval officers may
ask allotments of their salaries to their
wives or others. The practice has existed
for seventy-fiye years, and was not ques-
toned until Pay Director Colby brought
up the case in which the Assistant Comp
troller has given his opinion.
Rear-Admiral Ramsay, acting Secretary
OF the Navy, has written to the chairman
of the Senate Committee ON Naval Affairs
in regard to the matter in which he asks
legislative sanction of the practice. He
says in his letter that to suddenly discon-
tinue the allotments now authorized
would work great injustice to officers now
absent on sea duty and to those dependent
upon them

Catarrh.

Catarrh is seemingly one of the
most complicated of ailments, and
one which the doctors are absolutely
unable to cure. The reasons for
this are easily explained. Catarrh is
Il blood disease, and only a blood
remedy can effect it. The various
sprays. douches and washes which
are employed as local treatment,
may, for time, alleviate the
trouble, but no one ever knew of
such treatment producing a cure.
They can not reach the seat of the dis
ease, as the experience of many
sufferers will prove; nothing can do
so except i real blood remedy.
In the treatment of Catarrh, S. S.
5. has demonstrated the fact that it
reaches deep-seated diseases, which
other remedies can not touch.
Mr.. Chas. n. Parr. the leading wall
