HOW RUSSIA MANAGES 1T
Anybody Caught Stealing Her Seals 1s
Liable to Get Hurt.

Washington, Oct 14-Althougn the
formal conference on the eBring sea
will not open until after the arrival Of
the japanese delegates, yet the presence
here Of two of the Russian delegates
has permitted the authorities to inform
themselves quite thoroughly as to the
attitude of Russia on the protection of
the seals. 1t has brought out the fact
that Russia takes no advanced position
in preserving her seal herds, and has
more stringent laws and regulations in
that direction than either of the coun-
tries interested. Under the Russian sys-
tenn a zone Of 80 miles wide IS estaO-
lished around the seal islands belonging
10 the empire. The seals found within
this zone are regarded as exclusively
Russian and no other than the inhafoit-
ants of the islands can take a seal with
in these limits. This gives the Russian
citizens exclusive rights over the seals,
not only on the islands, but extending
thirty miles seward. A British or Jap
anese sealer cannot operate within the
zone, except u buy skins of the Rus
sian inhabitants Of the islands. The
Russians themselves are permitted to
kill only bachelor seals, it being against
strict regulations to kill females or pup
seals. The females are guarded with
special care, as killing one female is
regarded as equivalent 10 killing three
seals. namely, the female herself, her
pup on land and her unborn pup.
The Russian authorities see that these
regulations are enforced. a fleet Of
government ships patrol the 30-mile
zone, and any foreign sealer who at
tempts 10 operate within these limits
is seized.
As a rule the seized sealers are taken
to Nladivostock, their catch confiscated
and punishment inflicted. This has led
to many protests. but Russia has MAIN
tanned thus far her rigid regulations
against foreigners within the 30-mile
zone In one notable case the ship
Dahl, cleared by a United States con-
eular officer, but manned with a Japan
csc crew, attempted TO take seals on
the Russian islands. They were met
with armed resistance and several Of
the japanese were killed. Claims for
indemnity We're made against Russia.
but never paid. as the imperial authori-
ties maintained their right to protect
their property against invasion.
II is understood In De the wish o.
Russia. in the forthcoming conference.
not TO stop al the protective regulations
already made, but 10 cary them further
by increasing the width Of the zone con-
sidera5Iy beyond so miles.
The Russian authorities have found
by experience that many Of the female
seals go more than thirty miles 70 sea
in search Of food. The wish is TO make
the zone SO wide that il will extend Il
the furthest point 10 which the females
go for food.

SHORT LINE SETTLEMENT.
Portland, Ore, Oct 1.-THE settle
ment Of the difficulties between the I'm
ion Pacific and the Oregon Short Line
has created quite a stir in railroad cir
cles here. The dispatch conveying in
formation Of the settlement was inter-
preted here by Union Pacific officials as
meaning that through business, over the
Short Line and Oregon Railway and
Navigation road to Portland was to be
resumed, but the officials Of the latter
road deny that any agreement for re-
sumption Of through traffic over their
oy way OF the Union Pacific has been
made. The dispatch conveying the in
formation Of the settlement came from
General Passenger Agents Lomax of the
Union Pacific and is as follows:
Resume the sale Of through tickets,
both one way and round trip. via the
Union Pacific. to points on the Oregon
Short Line at the Short Line rates that
we're in effect prior TO October L.
The Oregon Navigation people say
the above dispatch has no reference to
Portland business but. if true, means
only Montana business in which the
Short Line was interested. The through
business to Portland over the Union Pa
cific would require the cooperation OF
the Oregon Railway and Navigation
road and until that cooperation was So
licited and their agreement obtained no
through train need be looked for over
the Oregon Railway and Navigation.

London, Oct. 14-All the afternoon
papers today published editorial articles
urging the British cabinet at lis meeting
Saturday to "give the coup d grace to
all rumors OF any intention upon the
part of the government TO tamper with
the currency"
The Westminster Gazette in its finan-
cial article says:
The pandering 20 the bimetailic fad.
in which the city has reason TO believe
the government is secretly indulging, in
Accordance with it's political policy Of
graceful concessions, has aroused untold
anxiety in business circles, which has
been voiced in the letter Of protest
signed by majority of the leading men
of the city, in which they express their
grave objections TO any movement by
the government N the direction Of bi-
metalllism-"
In conclusion the article says:
at is inconceivable that the govern
ment should prove fatuous enough to
yield to the yankee silver agitators
without consulting and taking the
weighty advice OF the business commu-
nifty
London, Oct. 1.-THE afternoon news
papers today take the same views or
Secretary Sherman's latest dispatch to
the Marquis Of Salisbury on the sealing
conference question as expressed by the
morning papers. The st. James Gazette
says:
1T will be relief If this trans-At-
lantic Polonius is restricted in the future
90 playing the fool in his own home and
the foreign affairs of his country are
transferred into more capable hands.
But we need not count upon this too
confidently. We, ourselves, allowed an
elderly statesman TO play tricks in the
national name with national interests
sor many a long year.
The ST. James Gazette taunts Mr..
Herbert Gladstone with copying Sec
rotary Sherman's manner in a speech
yesterday evening in which Mr.. Glad
stone said that the Venezuelan ques-
would not have been peacefully settled
if there had been no United States con-
cerned, adding that in the latter case,
"our ironclads would have been sent out
and our troops would have made short
work Of the Venezuelan question. But
the United States appeared on the scene
and the virtues of arbitration became
obviously apparent"
