Correspondence IN ali the principal cities
IN the United States and Europe.
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-10-15

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Although
formal conferences on the Bering sea
question will not open until after the
arrival Of the japanese delegates, yet
the presence here of two Of the Rus
sian delegates has permitted the au-
thorities 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
an advanced position in preserving her
seal herds, and has more stringent
laws and regulations in that direction
than any of the other countries inter-
ested. Under the Russian system, a
zone of thirty miles wide is establish
ed around the seal islands belonging to
the empire. The seals found within
this zone are regarded as exclusively
Russian and no one other than the in
babitants Of the islands can take a
seal within these limits. This gives
the Russian citizens exclusive rights
over the seals, not only on the islands,
but extending thirty miles seaWard. A
British or Japanese sealer cannot op-
crate within the zone, except to buy
skins of the Russian inhabitants of the
islands. The Russians themselves are
permitted to kill only bachelor seals,
it being against strict regulations to
kill a female or a pup seal. The fe-
males are guarded with special care, as
the killing of one female Is regarded
as equivalent to the killing of three
seals, namely, the female herself, her
pup on land and her unborn pup. Fur

Fur Will Fly Bit @ and Spur re Club nte! Up Against
at Chicago. bition Law.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-There is likely
to be trouble at the coming horse show
In this city, and the fur is already
commencing to fly. John A. Logan Jr.
is managing the show, which is to be
held right in the center of the prohi-
bition district of the suburb of Hyde
Park. MI Logan has worked hard for
the success of the show, and, among
other things, he has organized the bit
and spur club, the members of which
include q number of millionaires and
some Of the leading business men in
the city The members Of the club are
to pay about four prices for their sea-
son tickets to the show, and they are
also to have a pleasant little room for
themselves where refreshments are
to be served The word refreshments
is to the Hyde Park prohibitionists like
unto a red rag before an eXcitable bull,
and they declared that no refresh
ments" shall be served. 1t was inti-
mated on behalf of the club that only
soft drinks would be served, but this
aroused division among the Hyde Park
people, who have been fooled once or
twice before and just now are not

by the Gar.

thernore. the Russians are allowed TO
kin a bachelor only when the animal is
on land, it being forbidden to kill any
manner of seal in the water. The Rus
sian authorities see that these regula-
tions are enforced. A fleet OF govern
ment ships patrol the thlrty-m1le zone,
and any foreign sealer who attempts
to operate within these limits IS -selZed
AS a rule, the seized sealers are
taken to Vladivostock, their eaten con-
fscated and severe punishments infiict-
ed. This had led to many protests, lut
Russia has maintained thus far her
rigid regulations against foreigners
with the thirty-mile zone. In one
notable case, the ship Dahiia, cleared
by United States consular officer, put
manned with a Japanese crew, at
tempted to take seals On The Russian
islands. They were met with armed
resistance and several Of the japanese
were killed Claims for indemnity
were made against Russia, but never
paid. as the imperial authorities main
tanned their right to protect their prop
erty against invasion. 1t is under
stood to be the wish of Russia N the
Forthcoming conference not to stop at
the protective regulations already
made. but to carry them further, by
Increasing the width of the zone con-
siderably beyond thirty miles The
Russian authorities have found by ex-
perience that many Of the female seals
go more than thirty miles to sea in
search Of food The wish is, therefore,
tc make the zone so wide that it will
extend to the furthest point to which
the females go for food.

turned about to see if we were follow
ing. We motioned her to go on. She
grew more confident as she went along,
but we could see that she was under a
strain. She got on the launch and we
waited, and when the launch returned
from the vessel and she was not on it,
we knew that the scheme had worked
like a charm.
"The day after the jail delivery, the
town was aStir over the escape of
Senorita Cossio Cisneros, a house to
house search was begun, and would
have been kept up had not a tele-
gram from Minister Dupuy de Lone,
at Washington, informed Weyler that
the girl was on the high seas and ex-
pected any day in New York. Then
Weyler was mad. He threw the jailer,
Jose Quintana, into Jail, whereupon
the jailer told about my attempting to
bribe him. This, in connection with
the surmise of De Lone, placed sus-
p!cion on me- I gave it out that I was
going to take a steamer for Mexico.
There was only one steamer leaving
Sunday, and that was "a Spanish
steamer I waited for instructions
from New York, and had almost made

knew that my passport would never
be signed, and I learned that an order
for my arrest was determined on and
that I was to be arrested at O'Clock
Monday morning. 1 was in bad
pickle. I got a glimpse of the writing
of Senior Carjoval, the secretary OF
Weyler, and copied it SO that 1 had it

the seal. At the last moment I went
to the wharf and took the launch for
the steamship. The inspector looked
at nv passport and asked where the
seal was I assumed a nonchalant air
as best could, and told him that Senor
Carioval was at the Ingleterre hotel,
