Seal Hunting Statistics.

The number of vessels. as reported by
the United States consul at Victoria, which
propose to engage in seal huning from the
port Of Victoria this year Is thirty-four.
The last vessel cleared January g.
This is one vessel less than cleared from
that port last year on the same business.
All except two belong to the Victoria Seal
ers' Association. These two are owned by
parties residing in the east, and refuse to
go into the combination. These vessels will
employ 421 white men and 562 Indians,
and the total tonnage is 2,496. They ex-
pect to be absent ten months, returning to
port next October. Ten of the vessels will
hunt on the Japan coast and the remain
ing twenty-four on the coast of British Co
lumbia, Washington, Oregon and California.
The wages paid the men are $500 for each
skin captured by white men, and $500 per
skin to Indians.
The general expression among the sealers
is that the fur seal is steadily disappearing.
and that the time Is soon coming when the
business will cease to be profitable. For
this reason the owners Of the vessels are
perfectly willing to sell on the basis pro-
posed two wears ago.

THE CUBAN CONSTITUTION.
The Position of President McKfn1e
on the Subject Outlined.

The Position of President Mckinley
on the Subject Outlined.
1t is admitted by a high official of the
government that the administration ear
nestly desires the adoption of the Cuban
constitution before the adjournment of the
present session of Congress. The official
who made this statement said that no Of
fetal representations had been made to the
Cuban convention, but that the delegates
had been Informally advised as to the
Views of the President on the subject.
Gen. Woods remarks to the Cuban dele
gates who called on him yesterday were in
line with this policy. The official further
said that the provisions of the constitution,
as finally agreed upon, would determine to
a great extent the character of the action
of this government. While it was extreme
ly desirable to have Congress pass upon the
constitution. he said it was possible that
1t might be so satisfactory in its provi-
sions that, regardless of the date Of its
adoption, the President might not deem 1t
necessary to call Congress together in extra
session to pass upon it. According to his
understanding, it was clearly within the
legal rights of the President to withdraw
the troops from Cuba when he was salts
fled that the country was pacifed and q
competent, stable government established,
without submitting the matter to Congress.
L lie speaker ildue II perfectly pltlfl, nOW-
ever, that the relations between the govern
ments of Cuba and the United States must
be clearly defined, either In the constitution
or In some other satisfactory way, before
the United States will consent to withdraw
entirely from the government of the island.
Secretary Root yesterday afternoon said
that he had no idea when the Cuban con-
Vention would finish its work, or what
action would devolve upon the government
of the United States with respect to 1t. as
everything depended upon the terms of the
constitution itself

Decree Relieving Foreign Holders
From Paying Tax.
The Russian embassy here has made pub
lie an imperial ukase from Emperor Mich
olas to the Russian minister Of finance, d.
reeting the latter to draw up and publish
for general information the conditions on
which bonds of the per cent government
rente. belonging to foreigners not resident
in Russia. shall be exempt from the tax on
incomes derived from securities. The en-
peror deemed 1t proper that the foreign
holders Of these per cent bonds should be
placed on the same footing as the holders
Of the Russian government loans circulating
In foreign markets, which are exempted
from the tax.
In fulf1llment of this imperial order the
minister OF finance has given notice that
holders Of these bonds who are neither
Russian subjects nor resilient in Russia
may be exempted from the payment Of the
income tax by depositing their holdings in
certain designated banks, and having the
interest paid on the periodical presentation
Of nominal receipt provided by the min
istry of finance.

One of the Investigators Succumbed
to the Disease.

to the Disease.
A special from Havana to the New York
Sun yesterday says:
The report Of the yellow fever board was
read today before the fever section of the
Pan-American medical congress. Two of
the main conclusions were that the specific
cause Of the disease is unknown, and that
it can only be carried by mosquitoes. Con-
sequently, the disinfection of clothing and
houses is useless.
The fever can be produced by subcuta-
neous injection Of blood from a patient who
must have had the disease for not more
than two days. Mosquitoes must also bite
the patient during the first two days of his
Illness or they cannot transmit the disease.
The board kept an infected mosquito for
fifty-one days when it was allowed to bite
a person, who contracted the disease. The
board differs from DR.. F'inlay in that the
latter holds that more than one kind Of
mosquito can convey yellow fever. The
board says there is only one kind that can
do so. DR.. Finlay also says that a mos
quito can transmit the disease the fourth or
fifth day after biting a patient, while the
board says that twelve days must inter-
Yene.
The board reported that non-immunes
We're allowed to sleep in infected clothing
and bedding, but none contracted the dis
ease A member of the congress objected
that these so-called non-immunes might
really have been immunes. The board re-
piled that two of these were subsequently
subjected to the bites of infected mosqui-
toes and contracted the disease.
The moral aspect of the experiments was
touched upon. 1t was pointed out that
members of the board were themselves bit-
ten, and one of them died. Yellow fever ID

est localities.
Dr. Wilde of the Argentine Republic pro.
posed the creation. of an international vel.
low fever board to study means of exters
minating the disease.

The Navy and the Queens Funeral.

Officials here are gratified at the correct
understanding on the part of the British
public and press of the absence of an Amer
lean warship from the naval lines during
the queens funeral AS matter of fact,
the representation of the United States gov
eminent during the ceremonies was care
fully considered here. The United States
navy had no vessel in northern Europe.
The North Atlantic squadron was in the
Gulf of Mexico and the battle ships COM
posing it would have been unable to fit out
and cross the Atlantic in time for the water
parade. The New York. now fitting out at
New York, will not be ready for sea until
February 10, and there was no other suit
in time.
1t is expected, however. that, having due
notice, the navy will be fully represented
at the coronation.

WAR REVENUE REDUCTION.
The Measure Passed by Senate with
Several Amendments.

The war revenue reduction measure was
passed by the Senate yesterday afternoon.
Efforts to reduce the tax on bank checks
and to provide that telegraph and express
companies should bear the burden Of the
tax on messages and packages were un-
successful.
The finance committees amendments levy
ing a tax transactions in so-called
bucket shops" modifying the tax upon
cigars and cigarettes. and providing for q
rebate on unbroken. packages of tobacco.
in addition to several others Of a minor
character, were adopted.
Mr. Jones motion to eliminate from the
bill the exemption from tax OF telegraph
and telephone messages was rejected-l5 to
30.
Mr. Morgan (Ala.) offered as an amend
ment to the measure his proposition for an
income tax, beginning on the LIST of next
July and running for twenty years. The
amendment placed a tax of per cent upon
all incomes above $4,000 a year The amend
ment was voted down-21 to 3S-the vots
being on party lines.
