THE SEAL FiSHE RE S
Commission to Asosrtain Damages sus-
tanned by British Vessala
Final Ratification of the Amendment
to the Berfng Sen Treaty Soon
to BE Made.

The amendment to the Boring sea treaty
made by the Senate having been accepted
by Great Britain, the final notifications will
be exchanged in a day or two and steps will
be taken at once to put its provisions in
force. The treaty provides for the ap-
pointment of joint commission to ascer-
tain the damages sustained by the owners
of British sealing vessels seized in Boring
sea by United States revenue cutters be-
fore they had authority to do so under the
terms of the modus vivendi, or the ap-
proved decision of the Paris arbitration.
The first step will be the appointment of
a commissioner by each of the powers, the
United States and Great Britain.
While it is not definitely settled. ii is ex-
pected that the United States commissioner
will be Prof. w. II. Dali, connected with
the National Museum here and an expert in
seal life When Great Britain shall have
appointed commissioner, third may be
chosen by mutual consent, in the event of
a disagree ment between the original COM
missioners
The work in hand will involve the meet
ing of the commission at some conven-
lent point On the northwest coast, probably
at Victoria, at the end of the present seal
ing session, when the masters of vessels
from whom testimony must be taken
to the value of the seized craft shall have
returned from their summer voyages.
MeanW hile the State Department has not
abated its efforts to secure Il moC.ifica-
ton of the existing arrangements made
under the terms of the Paris arbitration
in the direction of further protection to
seal life. The present scheme is found
10 he entirely inefficient, and it is desired
10 add considerably to the restrictions TOW
placed upon the pelagic sealers in order
TO prevent the entire destruction of the
seal herds. The British government has
been very loath to consent to any further
restrictions, but has at length so far yield
ed as to agree to send some experts to
the Seal Islands to observe and report
upon the necessity of further legislation.
This phase Of the case will not, how
ever, come in any manner before the COM
mission appointed under the treaty about
to be ratified, which relates only to the ad-
Justments of back claims. The British ex-
ptrts have just arrived in Washington, and
are stopping for the time at the British en-
bassy. They are ProfS. Rerritt Hamilton
and Darcy Thompson, and the former has

cries. and they may be accompanied by an
American expert.

A Wild Goose Story.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Snipe shooters who during the spring
have beer putting up and occasionally
knocking down the elusive Jacks over the
marshy tracts of Kouts. Ind, tell a wild
goose story which makes a lover Of the
marvellous long to hear fish yarn from
the sane source.
The gunners say that the wild geese
were plentiful about KoIts this year
that their wallow1ngs in the mud have left
so many deep holes that Nelson Morris
great herds of cattle which roam over the
plain in summer have been depleted about
one-tenth through loss Of life ensuing on
the animals stepping into the holes and
breaking their legs.
1t is reported that Mr.. Morris will put an
army of laborers on his twelve square
miles of land to fill up the holes, and that
next spring he will offer a bounty Of a
dollar each on goose scalps.
