To Exterminate the Seal Herd.

WASHINGTON, Dec. n.-Representative
Johnson of North Dakota, is preparing
bill providing for the complete extermina-
ton of the seal herd of Boring sea. 1t is
on the plan of the bill prepared last year
by Representative Dingley, but is much
more brief and makes the determination
unconditional, whereas Mr.. Dingley's meas
ure provided determination as an alterna-
tive If pelagic sealing was not stopped. Mr..
Johnson says the recent Boring sea negotia-
tions have further demonstrated the impos-
sibility of stopping seal poaching. The seals
are yielding the government nothing. he
says, as the exclusive privilege of taking
seals, granted by the government, has
yielded only a few thousand dollars since
1890. In the meantime, Mr.. Johnson points
out, the government has spent hundreds
of thousands of dollars in commissions and
in maintaining a patrol of ships in Boring
sea. He says it has been amply demon
strated that the seals are worthless asset
and that their determination will be in the
interest of peace among nations and of
economy for the United States.

EXPORTS VERY HEAVY.
Reached n Total of So, 323 500 During
the Month of November.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE statement
of the principal articles of domestic ex-
ports (about SO per cent. of the whole for
the month of November, issued from the
bureau of statistics of the Treasury De-
partment to-day, shows total of $50, 1923 500,
an increase over October of more than
$5,00O000, and over the same month last
year of 100000. The increase over Novem-
her, 1885, is $22, 900 900, and November, 1894,
$24,00O,O0O. The increases are mainly in ex-
ports of corn oats, oatmeal, rye and wheat.
There is a large increase of shipments of
corn from Philadelphia and Baltimore and
of wheat from Baltimore and New Orleans.
There is a decrease from the month of
October in exports of mineral oils amount
ing to 5,125,OOO gallons but the loss is more
than made up by an increase in values, it
appearing that the exports of mineral oils
for November Notwithstanding the loss in
quantity exceeded in value those of October.
The exports of cotton for the eleven
months ending with November are 100000 900
pounds in excess of the exports for the cor
responding period of 1885, but nothwith-
standing this increase in quantity, the low
price Of cotton has resulted in a decrease
as compared with the same period last year
of over $17,0O0,000 in value. There is large
increase IN the exports or cotton TO Japan
and Germany, especially in quantities. In
November, 1896, 119 ,1S9 pounds of cotton
We're exported to Germany. The exports to
that country for November just closed
amount to 1696i6,65O pounds. The increase
in value is barely under $1000,0O0. In No
vember. 1896 the exports of cotton to Japan
aggregated 1924 100 pounds, and in Novem-
Der, 1897, ,639 $50 pounds, and the increase
in values has been from $233, sos for Novem-
Der, 1896. to $521 205 for November, 1897. The
exports for the three months of the present
cotton year show figures still more favora-
bic. For the three months ending Noyem-
Der. 1896 cotton exports to Germany aggre-

The Hawaiian Annexation Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE supporters
of Hawaiian annexation have definitely de-
cided to consider the question in executive
session of the Senate In order to do this
it will be necessary for them to take up the
annexation treaty rather than(a joint reso-
luton providing for annexation. Some few
of those who support Hawaii in this mat
ter were at first inclined to believe that I'M
less it became evident that the two-thirds
vote necessary to secure the ratification of
the treaty was assured from the beginning
it would be a waste of time to take the
matter up at all on the basis of the treaty,
but they appear to have changed their
minds and to be at least disposed to defer
to the opinions of the majority who oppose
this course. 1t is now stated on behalf of
the proanneXationistS that to abandon the
treaty at the present time would create the
impression that they had surrendered the
fight entirely. The Stanchest friends of an
neXation admit that it will be we'll nigh
impossible to secure the tWo-thirds vote
necessary to ratify the treaty, but they con-
tend that they will come very near reach
ing the necessary number. OF the sixty
votes necessary they claim to have fifty
four pledged and they think it possible that
they might secure two or three more votes.

that the japanese government Is opposed
in any manner whatever to the annexation
of Hawaii to the United States. Nothing
could be farther from the truth. 1t is true
that Japan at one time formally protested
against annexation, but that protest was
intended to protect certain clearly defined
rights pertaining to Japan and her people.
which momentarily seemed to be Imperfect.
Subsequent events, Mr.. Hoshi added, have
shown that the Japanese government was
right in the belief frankly expressed in that
protest that Japan could confidently rely n
the good feeling and the good faith of the
United states to take no hasty or tll-con-
sidered step subyersive of the rights OF
government and a people with whom this
government and the American people have
cordial relations. And while the question
cannot yet be regarded as definitely settled
in ali particulars, Mr.. Hoshi said that he
had no hesitation in expressing the firm con-
viction that all matters of mutual concern
between the United States and Japan, arlS-
ing from the annexation of Hawaii, would
be equitably and honorably adjusted.
To an inquiry regarding the instructions
with which his government had entrusted
him during his recent visit to Japan, Mr..
Hoshi stated that while of course, ne could
not reveal the nature of those instructions,
1t was not improper for him to say that
itate materially the settlement of he QueS-
lions resulting from the annexation of Ha-
wall, in which Japan can rightfu lain
to be interested. There is no rec ne
said. why the full and frank discuss ard.
in the end the just settlement Of such
questions should create the slightest fiic-
ton between the two countries.

Party of ChicagOans Finds an Easy
Way to the Gold Diggings.

moles, of Chicago leader of the Warmoles
overland expedition to the Yukon accom-
panied by Edward Book, arrived here last
night from Fort Resolution, on Great Slave
lake, 1920 miles north of Calgary, where the
rest of the party, twelve in number, are
camped for the winter in a substantial
building belonging to the Hudson Bay Com
pany. The Warmoles expedition left Chi
cago Aug. % and reached Fort Resolution
Oct. u, going down the Athabasca river
and Slave lake in boats, which took ten
days to build. Warmoles and Book are re-
turning to Chicago until spring, when they
will return with Warmoless three small
children and additional supplies to join
their friends at Fort Resolution, whom they
report to be happy and well, with plenty of
provisions, including fresh moose meat and
the best of fish, The trip to Fort Resolu-
ton was made without accident, and the
party is emphatic in it's opinion that the
all-Canadian water route is not only prac-
ticable, but the easiest and cheapest route
of all. When told that derogatory reports
had appeared in Chicago concerning the
Edmonton route Warmoles and Book were
indignant. They say that any man who
condemns the Edmonton route does not
base his statement on facts. On their re-
turn trip Warmoles and Book walked from
Fort Resolution to Fort Smythe 225 miles,
packing their provisions, with the assist
ance of an Indian At Fort Smythe they Sc

ExPEDITING THE MAILS.
Many Newspapers Now Asserting
Their Packages for POstOHfces.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-For some time
past the Postoffice Department has been
making an endeayor to have the large pub
fishing houses in the principal cities send
their mailing matter to the general post
offices assorted and separated, instead of
dispatching it to the office in a mass, there
to be separated by the clerks. The sugges-
ton has been put in practical operation by
many of the newspapers and publishing
houses, and has resulted in greatly expedit-
ing the handling Of the mails. Within the
past year the newspapers and publishing
houses in Pittsburg adopted the plan. In a
recent letter to Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General Shallenberger, Assistant Rail-
way Superintendent Jackson gives the re-
suits of his observations of the progress
that has been made. In January and Feb
ruary of this year, he says, " per cent. of
the mail sent to the general office was
mixed matter. In July this had decreased
to Go per cent, while last month the count
of the matter sent by about thirty-five of
the principal publishing houses showed a
reduction in mixed matter to IL per cent.
Houses that were sending in as much as 80
per cent. of their matter in mixed shape
now send in only per cent. in that man

Mr.. Hoshi, the Japanese minister from a

renewed attention to the question of
Japan's attitude toward Hawaiian annexa-

he had no intention of discussing in the
newspapers the official relations of his
country with the United States. he thought
it was due to both governments to dis
avow in the most public manner the senti-
ments and designs regarding Hawaiian an
nexation frequently attributed to Japan in
the press Of this country. His own return,
he said. had been made the occasion for
the renewal OF rumors of this description,
