About Government Seeds.

Clinton Wade has been observing
some Of the methods IN vogue in the
Agricultural Department at Washington
which are Of general interest. He says:
''The old method in buying govern
ment seeds for free distribution was to
buy bulk seeds and have them put up by
government employees, and the packets
printed by the government printing
office
In 1891 it cost two cents per package;
in 1892 it cost l. 99 cents; in 1893 it cost
1.9l cents, and in 1894 1t cost ~ cents.
Under the new method the govern
mept receives bids from the different
seed houses. they to furnlsh seeds in
packages and quarts with their name
printed on all packets with the addition.
al words-"for the United States gov
ernment. - The seeds for 1897 cost
058 cents or about cent per package
and about one-fourth the cost under the
old method in 1891.
The successful bidders in '97 were:

Mr.. Wade adds that while he is not by
any means an admirer Of Secretary Nor
ton, some details of the management Of
his department are praisworthy, and an
improvement Oh his predecessors.

THE BRITISH ARGUMENT
Before the Behring Sea Commission at
Halifax.

to Protect Vessels Bearing It's Flag.
Halifax, N. S.. September 2.-Mr. Bod
well continued his address today on the
question of effect OF domicile on nation
ality. He contended that the country of
domicile extends to person certain privi-
leges and is bound to defend such persons
to the extent of such privileges. The
only thing that q domicile country can
not do is to compel a person to take
upa arms against the sovereignty of the
country of the parties birth.
lie quoted Judge Rayner.. whose judg-
ment supported the claim that there was
sufficient evidence of nationally in the
flag of the vessel. Every country must
protect it's domicile and therefore Great
Britian was bound to protect any person
domiciled within British territory
Mr.. Bodwell claimed that if the United
States allowed their ships to seize vessels,
1t was competent for the owners of those
government as against the government
making the seizures.
Mr.. Bodwell took up the claim of the
Y n1ted States as regards the uncertainty
of the seal fisheries. The testimony Of
Mclean in support of the United States
contention was contradicted by that of
Capt. Leary and Capt. Baker. The evil
dence of both went to show that 1t was
not necessary to have great experience in
sealing before good catch could be had.
In 1885, 16 schooners went into the sea
and were taking good fares when pre-
vented by the United States.
Mr.. Bodwell submitted evidence which
went to show that the claim of the Unit
ed States that 1t took four months to learn
the art of hunting was incorrect. He
claimed that the 23 sealing vessels should
not be considered .valueless because they
were old. This was supported by the
United States evidence.
