SEALING PR0PO-ITI0HS.
Many Matters Must Be Considered
Before Measures of Protection
Are Reached.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-During to-
days sealing conference series of propo-
sitlons was presented by the AmericB n
representatives. covering the number and
habits of seals and extent to which the
seal herd had been reduced during the
five years in which the Paris tribunal had
been in operation. In turn the British
Canadian representatives presented coun-
ter propositions covering their view of the
same subject. The propositions differed
considerably, but were not so wide apart
as TO lead to the belief that they could
not be reconciied.
1t is expected that when the session is
resumed tomorrow the experts will be
able to reach a common understanding.
The propositions do not embody any
diplomatic features. hut are solely scien-
Iitic, as to the number. habits and des-
truction OF the seals. After the experts
have reconciled their propositions the
diplomats Will begin to consider the large
subject of providing an adequate remedy
against seal destruction.

YALE READY FOR HARVARD
Hundreds of Yale Men Arrive in
Boston for TOD
G7me

BOSTON, Nov. 12-The Yale football
team reached Boston this evening. The
party mum bered fifty-slx. Of this num-
Der forty-tour were players and sub
stitutes. The following coache.s accom-
panied the team: Walter Camp, Frank
Buterworth (the head coach), Frank
Hinkey, Louis Hinkey and G. Fisher San
ford.
The football train was a long one, and
was heavily loaded with Yale students.
After dinner the players lounged about
the corridors of the Vendome, chatted and
whiled away the time until shortly alter 9
O'Clock, when they went to their rooms.
BY 10 O'Clock the whole squad had retired
for .he last nights rest fore the great
contest which will be played to-moi row
with Harvard.
AS regards Yale's chances for victory
there is little to be said. Captain Rodgers
and his coachers refuse TO talk for publ
cation on that score. In sp. te of the fact
that the Yale men are not loquacious,
however, it is not d fficult TO see that the
New Haven coIlegians are not worrying.
Quietly, considerable biting was done.
4ale's sports had plenty of money with
them and they looked Tor and found con-
siderable at even figures. Captain Rod
gers admitted officially that Corwin would
take the place OF Dudley. who was called
home by the death of his mother.
