Money Order Offices.

An exchange says: The number of
money order offices in operation in the
United States is 20,03l. The amount
of orders issued during the last fiscal
year was Sl74 472,676. The money or
der business, which was first establish
ed in 1865, has grown with tXtraordi-
nary rapdity. The total business done
from its inception represents an aggre-

The Seal Conference.

The British and American expert
members of the Bering Sea Commits
sion concluded their work yesterday,
says the Philadelphia Record, having
reached an agreement on all points re-
specting the natural history Of the
seals. The wisdom of the new plan,
whereby the differences between Can
ada and the United States in matters
exclusively American are to be referred
for settlement to the parties directly
interested, has thus been clearly vindi-
Gated. Hitherto it has been impossible
to obtain from the British experts any
agreement, even as TO well known ZOO
logical facts, in relation to the seals.
1t may be difficult to give the reason
why this should have been the case;
but probably the British naturalists
appointed on prior Bering Sea Conn
missions were weighted by sense of
their responsibility as trustees of Can
ada's interests, and were thus uncon-
sciously biased in their judgment of
the facts so as to make them square
with the Canadian contention. In
the present instance DR.. Thompson, the
British seal expert, had this weight OF
responsibility lifted from him, the
Canadians having been represented by
their own Premier aud Minister of
Marine, and having been prepared to
take charge of the diplomatic phases
of the controversy themselves.

Still a Deficit.

The Philadelphia Record says edi-
torially: The expenditures Of the Fed
eral Government still keeps out of
sight of the revenue. From July to
November 10 of the present fiscal year
the deficit was $43, 244, 1872 There is
some evidence of alarm among the
Dingleyites. They were so cocksure
when they were making their SEIZED
ules hat they refused to accept the
undertaking suggestions Of Senator AL
drich intended to secure needed reve-
nue.. AS a result nothing seems clearer
than the necessity of tariff amend
ment and the reopening of tariff dis
cussion before the echoes of the late
