under the British flag, and American
sealers. The same proportion was
shown to exist throughout the waters
of the North Pacific.
In detail, the figures for this season S
catch, now made available for the first
time, are as follows:
Catch of seals in the North Pacific
for the present season, 3S, 100, against
73, 900 last year. The total catch this
year is divided as follows: Taken by
British vessels, $4,000; by American yes
sels 400; by Japanese vessels, $500.
The catch in Behring sea, which is the
portion Of the North Pacific in which
the United States is interested, is 16, $50
for the present season, against 29,5O0
last season, a reduction of about one
half OF the catch in Behring Sea, Brit
ish vessels took Is, SEQ; American yes
sells, 1,500 The figures make no dis
tinction between British and Canadian
vessels, as practically all the sealing is
done by Canadian vessels, which, now
ever, are nominally classed at British.
The falling off of about one-half in
the total catch both in Bering Sea and
the North Pacific, is said to be most
significant, under the circumstances.
The present season is a better one, the
experts say, for taking seals than last
season. The same regulations apply
this season as last. Under these cir
cumstances, it is said that the conclu-
sion to be drawn from this years fig
ures is that the seal herd has been
greatly reduced by indiscriminate
slaughter at the alarming rate of about
one-half in the last year.

AUSTRIAN CRISIS.
Brief History of Causes of Present
Agitation.

Brief History of Causes of Present
Agitation.
Vienna, Nov. 1.-THE disorderly
scenes in the lower house of the reichs-
rath began when the house reopened
on Sept. % last, and they have been
continued ever since. Bitter feeling
exists between the Germans of Austria
and the Czechs, and other Slavonian
nationalities. A climax was reached
when the Austrian government de-
cided that the Czech were in every way
coordinate with the German in
Bohemia and Moravia. The govern
ment was bitterly attacked by the
German members of the reichsrath and
the latter sought to have the ministers
indicted.
Upon several occasions the lower
house has resembled d beer garden
after the sitting had been suspended, in
the attempts to maintain some degree
of decorum among the members.
On Sept. % the Austrian premier,
Count Badeni, fought a pistol duel
with DR.. Wolff, the German National
ist leader, arising from insults adj
dressed by the doctor to the premier
during the previous days session of
the lower house. Count Badeni was
wounded in the right hand.
The excited feeling in Austria is
considerably intensified by the fact
that both Austria and Hungary now
are discussing the question of the re-
newal of the Musgleich or compact
which binds the two groups of
provinces together as the Austrian en-
pire. The Austrian constitution can
be suspended by the emperor under
al J, ic
might, as intimated some days ago by
the Austrian minister of finance de-
eide to govern without a parliament,
but the Hungarians hold that if the
emperor takes this step the ausgleich
ceases to exist and Hungary may in
sist upon her right to a separate gov
eminent separate army, a separate
diplomatic service, etc, in which case
it would seem that civil war might
follow and the end of such a struggle
might be a change in the map of
