Washington, Dec. 31.-The secretary
of the treasury, with the approval of
the president, has issued regulations
under the act OF congress signed
Wednesday prohibiting the taking of
sealskins by American citizens except
on the Pribylof Islands, and inhiDiting
the importation into this country OF
pelagic sealskins. The regulations pro-
vide that no sealskins raw, dressed,
dyed or otherwise manufactured shall
be admitted to entry in the United
States except there be attached 10 the
invoice certificate signed by the United
States consul at the place of exporta-
tion that said skins were not taken
from seals killed within the waters
mentioned In said act. specifying in de-
tail the locality of such taking, whether
on land or at sea, and also the person
from whom said skins were purchased
in their raw and dressed state, the
date of such purchase and the lot num-
ber. Consuls shall require satisfactory
evidence of the truth of such facts by
oath or otherwise.
Regulations Are Iron Bound.
The regulations then provide that ev-
cry article manufactured in whole or In
part from fur sealskins to be imported
into the United States is required to
have legibly stamped thereon the ma ne
of the manufactures and the place OF
manufacture, and shall be accom-
panied by a statement in writing under
the oath of the manufactures that the
skins used in said article were taken
from seals not killed at sea within the
prescribed waters mentioned, specify
ing the locality in detail, and also the
person from whom said skins were pur
chased in their raw and dressed state,
the date of said purchase and the lot
number. This rule would take from a
mans hands the sealskin gloves he
wore on arrival at New York If he could
not prove them made Of skin taken on
the Pribylof Islands All sealskins or
manufactures thereof not coming inside
the regulations are seized and de-
stroyed.
Another Troublesome Rule.
OF course sealskin articles which are
taken out of this country and brought
back are spared, but another rule
makes them liable, no matter how little
sealskin there is in them, to be ripped
to pieces in order to find out whether
properly stamped on the inner surface.
and besides must be accompanied with
a consular certificate. A sealskin purse
or reticule may be carried out Of this
country by a lady making a foreign
tour, but when it comes back again
it is liable to confiscation unless "the
lining thereof is so arranged that the
pelt Of the skin underneath shall be
exposed for examination" unless the
owner shall have taken the precaution
before starting on her voyage to obtain
"a certificate Of ownership from the
collector Of customs of the port Of de-
parture."

CLOSE OF THE BIG WHEAT DEAL.
Will BE Wound Up without the Sensation
That Has Been Predicted.

Chicago. Dec. 31.-The closing scenes
in the Letter deal in December wheat
will have been enacted by 2 o'clock
this afternoon and the curtain rung
down on everything of a speculative
nature pertaining to the affair. By
that time, too there will probably have
been delivered about 100000 bushels
of wheat.
Yesterdays action of the market and
the purchases of December by Letter
brokers seem proof that there is no
December shortage now outstanding
1t is generally expected that the great
deal will be wound up without the sem
sation that was looked for.

Reciprocity with Venezuela.

Washington, Dec. 31.-It is said that
one of the purposes of the present visit
to Washington OF the United States
minister to Venezuela, Loomis, is to
start negotiations for a reciprocity
treaty between Venezuela and the Unit
ed States. This is rather an unex-
pected step, as Venezuela was one Of
the few South American countries
which did not make reciprocity treaty
under the former system. At that time,
however, Venezuela suffered by having
her coffee practically excluded from the
United States because Brazil and other
coffee-porducing countries had the re-
duced duties under reciprocity treaties.

He Will Have No Business II Commission
er Evans Has HIS Way.

Washington. Dec. 31.-Commissioner
OF Pensions Evans has been giving some
attention to a proposition whereby the
services Of pension attorneys engaged
in the prosecution of claims before the
office may be dispensed with and their
work done by officials under govern
ment supervision. Informally he has
been discussing the matter with men,
bers of the house committee on invalid
pensions, but is not yet prepared to
outline the details of his plan. The
present system, he says, is wrong and
should have been done away with long
ago. Disseminating the services of the
attorneys would result in great saw
ing to both pensioners and the govern
ment, and liability to frauds in issuing
pensions would be reduced to a mini
mum. Under government supervision
the pension bureau would have direct
control of the persons appointed to look
after the cases, whose business 1T would
be to see that all honest claims were
promptly and intelligently presented.
The commissioner notes the fact that
$13, SOC, 900 has been paid out during the
past thirteen years to pension attor-
neys by applicants for the prosecution
of their claims.
Talking about pensions the postoffice
department has ruled that an ex-Union
soldier drawing a pension under the
dependent pension law may be rein
stated in a position he formerly occu-
pied in the service. The case arose
in connection with the application OF a
