FEATHERS ON HATS.
Topic Touched Upon at ornitholo'
gists' Union Yesterday.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE final SEES
sion of the Congress of American Or
nithologists' unions was held today at
the American museum of natural his
tory. The matter of chief interest in
the proceedings was the report of the
committee on bird protection read by
Chairman William butcher of New
York. He prefaced the report with
this statement:
THE continued use of feathers and
birds on womens hats is, 1 think, due
to am unwillingness on their parts to
assume individual responsibility, Most
women know the cruelty entailed in
obtaining the plumes that ornament
their hats, but they excuse themselves
on the ground that it was not commit
ted for me personally; it would have
happened anyhow.
Reports from western states were
discouraging in that they told that the
use of aigrettes and feathers on hats
was more popular this year than ever
before

OF LITTLE VALUE.
Proposed Seal Treaty Has a British
String to 1t.

Chicago, Nov. IA special to the
Journal from Washington, D. c., says:
A most significant incident in connec-
ton with the beginning of negotia-
tions with the Canadian premier. Will
fred Laurier, and the British ambassa-
dor. Sir Julian Pauncefote, is a report
that the sealing treaty which our state
department has just negotiated with
Japan and Russia is conditioned on
ratification by Canada and Great Brit
ain.
AS the information comes. the re-
Gently signed treaty is so drawn that if
this condition is not complied with. it
shall be absolutely void and of no eff
feet
The probabilities all point to the truth
of this rumor.
