EAsToN, Pa, Dec. 2O.-Pardee Hall,
the magnincent history stone structure
that stood on the brow Of College Hill,

fire. Only the east wing was saved
from the flames. The centre of the

ALL SEALSkINS BARRED.

Unlocked For Provision Found In the Rill
Prohibiting Pelagic Sealing.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-lt has devel.
oped that the bill relating to pelagio
sealing, which has just passed both
branches of congress and is before the
president contains provision of far.
reaching importance which has thus
far escaped attention. This places an
absolute prohibition on the further
bringing of sealskins into the United
States from any source whatever. AS
the United States is the largest market
in the world for sealsknis this complete
stoppage Of the trade in this country
will be severe measure against the
British and Canadian industries which
take and cure the skins and then dis
pose Of them largely in the United
States.
When the bill was proposed it was
generally supposed that its only pur-
pose was to prohibit American citizens
from carrying on pelagio sealing. This
feature was the only one to attract at
tention during, the discussions. At the
close Of the bill. however, is = section
which is not restricted 70 Americans,
but applies to sealskins in general
"taken in the waters mentioned in this
act," which includes the whole Pacific
ocean.
Those who are thoroughly familiar
with the bill say this provision is Of far
more importance in its effect than the
prohibition against pelagic sealing by
Americans.

NO RESULT LIKELY.

Recipr2Sity Negotiations With Canada
Practically Ended.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-The CORE.
spondence which has passed between
Sir Wilired Laurier, The Canadian pre-
mier, and General Foster. the Ameri.
can negotiator, touching the seal nego.
tiations since the Washington confer.
ence last month, has just been made
public. 1t consists of two letters. In
the first, dated Ottawa, Nov. "a, Sir
Wilfred Laurier passes upon the propo-
sition from our government which was
taken back to Canada by him at the
conclusion of the conference. He says
he is willing to enter at once upon . re-
view of the whole seal question, though
the Paris award was made revisable
only at the end of five years, provided
the other questions Of importance to
the two countries-immigrati reci.
procity, fish protection, etc., be con-
sidered at the same time. He declines,
however, to suspend sealing meantime
tor various reasons.
Lsurier Offers . Suggestion.
He suggests that il joint commits
sion to consider all questions at issue,
including this, be at once appointed, it
would be possible to secure the neces.
sary legislation from parliament at the
February session and from congress
during the present session to insure the
execution OF any recommendation with
regard to Bering sea next season.
The second letter is from General
Foster to Sir Wilfred, dated Washing.
ton, Dec. 2. General Foster says that
Sir Wilfred's 8 answer is a declination Of
his proposition and q renewal of the
Canadian proposition made at the con.
ference, and the president declines to
reverse his position on that point.
General Foster expresses regret that
Sir Wilfred's visit to Washington gives
so little promise of satisfactory results,
but entertains the hope that it may yet
bear good fruit.

for Sending Food Supplies
to Alaska.
PrOvisO Inserted That the Sup

General Miles FayOrs Sending
Expeditions Over Two Dit.
ferent Routes.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-Before ad.
journment of congress for the holidays
the Klondike relief bill was put through
both houses. 1t compromises on amount
of relief at $500, 900, provides for secur.
ing the consent of Canada to extending
the relief to the Canadian side and au-
thorizes the use Of the army to carry
out the relief measures. 1t also pro-
vides that the supplies must be pur.
chased instead Of being donated.
The war department authorities look
with much favor on this expedition, as
it will draw officers and men from the
inactivities Of garrison life and give
them mission in which courage and
daring analogous to that of equal mill.
tary service will be required.
General Miles believes expeditions
should be sent over both routes to the
Klondike region at once in order to
have double chance of one getting
through quickly in case the other is de-
layed. General Miles has made for
years special study of Alaskan affairs,
having been responsible for the military
protection Of the territory when he
commanded the department of the
Columbia from 1883 to 1885. During
that time he sent three expeditions
through Alaska. The first was under
Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka in 1888;
the second was under Lieutenant Aber.
crombie in 1885 and the third was
under Lieutenant Allen, later in the
same year. Lieutenant Abercrombie
conducted an expedition up the Copper
river valley and Lieutenant Allen went
up the Copper river, thence across the
divide and down the Tanana to the
Yukon, thence to Bering sea.
General Miles says: II believe that
two expeditions should be sent-one
over the Dalton trail from Dyea to
Dawson City, Belle Isle or Circle City;
the other from the mouth of Copper
river to Belle Isle. The Dalton trail
extends only short distance through
our territory, being principally along
the upper Yukon river in British Co.
lumbia. The route from the mouth of
Copper river extends entirely through
our own territory and in my opinion
is practicable for sending supplies to
the places already mentioned, or to any
point near the boundary, where depot
of supplies, an asylum and hospital
could be established. have therefore
recommended that congress give au-
thority for the sending of two expedi.
tions with food and hospital supplies,
with as little delay as possible.

Cobb had the remains aftheir dead
relatives moved from the island.
During the recent storm the sea
swept over the graves and washed
the sand from the top of the brick
vaults in which the bodies we're in
cased. When the grave Of Nathan
Cobb, for shom the island was
named, was opened, il was fos.nd
TO contain only few bones. But
the easket containing the body Of
his brother, Albert Cobb, Who was
drowned several years ago, was so
heavy 10 to create the impression
that the body had become petrified.
Some Of those present were anxious
to open the casket aud make an in
