The one days later advices
brought by the Warrimoo from
Victoria, contain the interesting
item that the tariff bill had passed
the Senate by a vote of 80 to %,
in which was restored the clause
relative to Hawaiian products
which was adopted by the House of
Representatives. The bill on
reaching the lower house, would at
once be given to a joint committee
of the two houses, to adjust the
differences. This may take several
days. The Australia will bring
San Francisco dates to the 18th
inst, by which time the tariff bill
must have passed both houses, and
have become a law. Judging from
previous extra sessions, it seems
very doubtful whether a quorum
of the Senate could be kept to-
gether long enough to transact any
other business except that relating
to the tariff, for which alone Con
gress was called together.

matter cannot be hOnorablv and
amicabIv adjusted, to the satisfac-
ton of al the nations concerned
The following paragraph from
the same source is equally interest
ing: Each adult female fur seal
found on the feeding grounds in
Behring Sea has a pup on the isl
and dependent upon her for nour-
ishment. 1t has been clearly de
monstrated the past summer that
the pup fur seal does not feed on
other food than its mothers milk
while it remains on the islands. 1t
necessarily follows that whenever
the mother seal dies or Is killed
before weaving, the pup, however
large or vigorous, must starve to
death. In 1896, 16,019 pups dead
from starvation were found on ST.
Paul and St. George. These
deaths resulted from the killing of
the mothers at sea. And not only
does the death of the mother in
volve the death of her nursing off
spring, but, since the cows are
never permitted by the bulls to
leave the harems in the short inter
val between the birth of the pup
and reimpregnation it also involves
the death of the unborn pup. The
death of a nursing female fur seal,
involves the loss of three
lives, and is wasteful and ruinous
in the extreme. Since pelagic
sealing began upward of 100000
adult female fur seals have been
killed at sea, 100000 pups have
been starved to death on land, and
100000 unborn pups destroyed"
