There seems to be 10 doubt that Japan.
Russia and the United States have agreed
through their conferees now in session in
this city that the preservation of the seal
herd IN the Bering sea depends upon the
suspension of pelagic sealing for a certain
season. There is some question to the
duration of this period of protection. The
treaty soon to be signed by these three
Eations will probably bind them to a strict
observance of the closed season. but it re-
mains to be disclosed just how far each of
the parties to the treaty will consent to go
in contributing means to enforce the stipu-
lation. Past experience has shown that
the most careful and thorough patrol of
the Alaskan waters is necessary to give any
degree of force whatever to the existing
regulations. The expanse is SO great, the
opportunities for evasion are readily at
hand and the temptation to brave the pun
ishment attached to Illegal sealing is so
strong that heretofore the stumbling block
to an effective administration of sealing
agreements has been the lack of sufficient
patrol.
OF course nothing practical for the pro-
lection of the seal herd will come from the
present agreement unless Great Britain
shall become a party to the treaty, either
through its Endorsement or through the
writing of similar agreement with the
United States In the latter event, which
Is the more probable, the United States
would doubtless seek to include in the
treaty precisely the same provisions that
are now embraced in the terms Of the
Japan alliance. Hereto
fore the prohibition of pelagic sealing dur
ing stipulated period has been an item of
serious contention between Great Britain
and this country but it is understood that
the authorities at London have lately been
hearing from variety of sources that
the seal herd is in real danger of extermi-
nation and. perhaps, change has come
over the spirit of Salisbury in his attitude
toward the situation Unless such change
has interviewed 1t is difficult to perceive how
a practical agreement can be reached be-
tween the countries.
OF course Japan, Russia and the United
States will not bind themselves Indefinitely
to abstain from pelagic sealing, If the re-
suit of such an agreement Is merely to
give Canada a monopoly of this method Of
exterminating the seal herd. But the ten
tative agreement on this point will have
the effect of putting Great Britain's inten-
tionS in the matter to a final test and OF
exhausting the alternatives to destruction
of the seals on the islands by this govern
certainly to be exterminated by pelagic
pcachers this government will undoubtedly
anticipate the work of determination.

General WeyIer in Spain.

General Weyler returns to Spain very
much disgruntled man. He feels that he
has been badly dealt with. He carried out
to the reddest letter the orders with which
he went to Cuba He put aside all the hu-
manties of General Campos, blacklisted
the people. and entered upon campaign
of determination He performed deeds of
appalling sayagery. and sounded all the
possibilities of such course of action. He
has claimed d large degree of success. But
now he goes back with the mark of failure
written against his name, and under a
cloud of accusations as to treausre wasted
and soldiers neglected
What Will be his course at home? What
advantage will his presence there be to
those who indorsed his conduct in Cuba?
His affiliations are with the conservatives,
who. under the leadership of Senior Cano-
vas, sent him TO the island and kept him
there The conservatives opposed his re-
call They still had faith in him. They
are likewise opposed to the Sagasta "re-
forms" Their idea is that Spanish author
tty in Cuba can Only be re-established by
tie sword; that ii is idle to make peace
overtures of any kind to the insurgents
Such, also. Is General Weylers idea, and
when he lands. and has had time to COM
municate with the conservative leaders, he
may strengthen them in the position they
nave taken After consulting with him,
they may decide to challenge more stoutly
than ever the whole policy to which Senior
Sagasta is committed.
General Weyler is the author of the
Charge that the whole revolt in Cuba is
the work of citizens of the United States
He has led the authorities in Madrid to
believe that Spain has all along been con-
tending with the United States, and that
the insurgents of themselves are the merest
handful. and. unassisted, would be power
less VIII he be at pains when he reaches
Madrid 10 emphasize this charge by word
or mouth? VIII he seek to add to the diff
hcuities in Minister Woodford's way? VIII
ne inhame the Madrid press to still more
energetic outbursts against this country ?
1t Is all 1ery likely. The greater his sue
cess at home in belittling the men who
Fought him to a standstill in Cuba, and In
throwing the shadow of the United States
across Spains path, the less mortifying
his failure will appear.
General Weyler back in Spain. therefore.
VIII probably not be lost to sight imme-
diately- He will show and explain his sore
toe TO as many as will listen and sympa-
thize. and improve every opportunity to
explain any reverses that Genera, Rlanco
may meet with, and TO continue to insist
that the sword. and not autonomy. Is the
thing for Cuba

From the New York Journal Of Commerce.
The influx Of new competitors for fire in
surance premiums has oversupplied the
market with Indemnity. and 1t seems only
a question of time before lively rate wars
may occur in various sections of the coun-
try, and perhaps in New York city. Com
mencing about a year and a half ago, new
fire insurance institutions were started,
and number of strong old agency COM
ponies either materially increased their
lires. launched underwriters agencies, or
organized small new companies known as
Satellites" tenders etc., managing them
in the parent corporations office with very
little expense.
The possibility of acquiring choice line
of business during a rate war and keeping
1t on the books when the usual peace and
high rates again arrive also inspires the
efforts of the new institution; 1t has little
to lose and everything TO gain. With all
tfese factors operating against steadiness,
1t will be strange II the fire insurance busi:
ness Is not soon to witness fierce rate fights
in prominent sections Of the field.

The suggestions which Secretary Gage
has thrown out about the reform of the
currency are having the effect that was
doubtless designed by the publication.
They are giving rise to discussion. some of
which must necessarily be Illuminating.
The subject promises to be the leading one
during the coming session of Congress, and
to draw the fire of all parties, and of mel
out of politics as we'll as of men in politics.
It will not lack for elaboration or for va
riety in the matter Of presentation. The
Secretary of the Treasury. the monetary
commission. and members of the House
and Senate, all will contribute. Action by
Congress Is by no means assured. but the
stock of general informa ton on the sub
ject ought to be materially increased
Sooner or later action Of some kind will be
necessary, and this invites the attention of
all parties In interest.
In the treatment of this subject the ooun-
try so far has not risen above the phil
osophy of the backwoodsman the roof OF
whose cabin stood In need of repair. When
it rained he was drenched; when the sun
shone he tilted back in his chair and
soothed himself with his fiddle. He ex-
planned matters to an inquirer by saying
that while the weather was inclement the
repairs could not be made, and while It
was fair they did not seem necessary.
While the country was in tie throes CT
botched tariff, with the governments re-
ceipts running behind. and gold brokers
working the endless chain feature of the
greenbacks, talk of currency reform was
discouraged. The argument was advanced
that 1t would but add to the difficulties and
embarraSSmentS. The weather was too in
clement. Now, when the Dingley bill is
giving every promise of justifying itself;
with good supply of gold on hand and
mere coming in; with the greenbacks per-
forming only useful offices, talk of cur
rency reform to those opposed to it seems
superfuous. Why worry? The sun is shin
ing. Why not fiddle and enjoy life? ,.-t3 j..
That any harm to business interests can
grow ont Of the discussion is we'll nigh i'm
possible. Now Is the time to indulge in
such discussion. for it is entirely safe to
do So. No extreme measure of any kind
could possibly become law. The House
and the Senate are not in agreement on
the financial question In any of its bear
ings, and the President, under the instruc-
tions of the st. Louis platform, would not
be justified in signing an extreme measure
If one were sent to him. If the roof needs
repairing the proper time to do the work
is while the weather is good. - -

other birds included within the terms Of
the act has been removed, -inasmuch as 1t
will be risky business for any caterer to
serve such game out of season and the de-
mand for 1t will be materially diminished
But 1t will not suffice for the prosecutors
to rely solely upon the force of the law as
a menace and a warning to insure obe-
dience. Care must be taken to apply the
statute frequently enough to keep it stand
ing as notice that punishment impends
over ths hunters and dealers who seek
to profit by it's violation.
Bird lovers in general may find some
measure of encouragement in this decision
of the court, for it opens up new possibil-
tiles in the way of preventing the kill
ing of the song birds and the bug and
worm killers for the adornment Of bonnets.
The desire to minimize this traffic is gen.
tral and is seeking a remedy. In some
communities public sentiment has been
aroused among the wearers of gaudily
decorated hats to the discouragement of
the purchase and use of hats ornamented
with birds wings and bodies. But the time
seems to be approaching when, If senti-
ment against the wholesale destruction of
the birds for the personal ornamentation
of the vain is to be given effective force,
some measure must be adopted as that
which has just been upheld in it's entirety
by the court of appeals. Harsh though
such a proposition may sound, there is
good reason why it should be pronounced
a misdemeanor for any person, man or
woman. to wear parts of the bodies or
plumage of birds that are known to con-
tribute to the general welfare and happi-
ness of humanity. The game laws, such as
that upheld by the court, are devised for
much less worthy purpose, to preserve
the birds for the sport of mankind and to
prevent the determination of certain food
birds that are highly esteemed by epicures.

The Dum-Dum.
From the Philadelphia Record.

"Dum-dum' is the curious name of a
new bullet of which the British government
has been making a test. Experiments
would seem to justify the title; for this
small-arm missile produces wound which
Is more fatal and terrible than the old bull

strike a soldier dumb-dumb. In America
has recently been invented, however. a
secret solution by which leaden bullets
may be coated so as to render them SUPER
ior to steel-cased bullets. At a distance OF
thirty yards some of these coated balls
pierced an ak blade and others bored
through hat-iron.

WAS NOT \ SUCCESS.
Meet in IIilo and
Nothing is Done.

An INTERPRETATIONS meeting was
held at Hilo, in the Salvation Amy
hall one day last week that could not
have been very satisfactory to its pio,
jectors, says the Tribune.
The male native was conspicuous by
his absence and portion of those
present made themselves prominent,
on the outside, by declar-
ing they We're in favor of annexation,
if it means continuance of the pres
ent prosperity. The meeting was
called by some ladies, natives, who
have also been circulating petitions re-
monstrating against annexation and
the same have met with but indiffer-
ent success. Viewed from one stand
point the efforts of these estimable Ia
dies is not creditable one, but from
every point of view it is misplaced
and misused zeal. The anneXationist
is not conqueror, nor does he feel an
antagonism against the Hawaiian.
Annexation is meant to be sheet an,
Choir for both of them and it is that
and nothing more.
