Al the Invitation OF the United
States conference on the far seal
question will be held at Washington In
October. The United States, Great
Britain, Russia, Japan and Canada are
expected 20 be represented.
The purpose of the conference Is TO
consider the reports OF the British and
American experts upon the present con-
1ition of the seal herds. and 10 draft
measures for their more effective pro-
lection. The powers of the conference
are not final: but It's conclusions Will be
referred 20 the respective governments
as basis for an international agree
ment.
The conference win not reopen the
question OF exclusive Jurisdiction in
Boring sea, which was decided against
the United States by the Paris tribunal
OF 1888. Neither will the conference
have anything 10 do with the amount
OF damages which the United States
should pay Great Britain for unwar-
ranted seizures OF the vessels OF Brit
iEh subjects. That question was not
sdjudicated by the Paris tribunal, but
II is In process Of settlement by COM
mission appointed by Great Britain and
the United States.
II is with the question of peiagic o.,
deep-sea fishing that the conference
will deal. While the Paris tribunal de-
clded that the United States had no ex-
elusive rights in the seal fisheries ex-
cept on the Pribilof Islands and with
in three miles OF them. IL established a
protected zone sixty miles wide around
the islands. within which the taking
OF seals was at all times prohibited;
and II forbade sealing In any part OF
the North Pacific or Bering sea be-
tween the first OF May and the first OF
August In each year II these prohibi-
tons were observed, there would be
little danger OF the extinction OF the
herds. But there is large destruction
OF seal life In violation OF these
conditions. During the breeding sea
son the seals swim northward TO feed
ing grounds at long distance from
the islands. They follow a narrow
route. which makes II easy for the pei
agsc sealers TO intercept them. Most
Of the seals thus taken are females
and their capture involves double
waste Of life.

tees threatens the seals with erfinc.
