According 10 the strict letter of the law against
pelagic sealing, skins of seals secured In this way
not only debarred from America, but must be
destroyed by the collector of the port and If II can
be conclusivey established that the seals un-
lawfully caught an exporter cannot usually evade

In other words, by a technical ruling the depart
ment set forth that official actually knew that

chased them from peagic sedlers, and long
any doubt remained the owner should be allowed at

Sweet, Forrnan and Rude. Their plan is TO run

in TIM, clear and with water thirty-five feet
deep. Ships would be drawn through the canal
by ali electric trolley line. II was said by the
Witne sses they had secured estimates which
conv1 need them that the tunnel work could be
done at about 81 cents a cubic yard and they
estimated that the entire canal could be con-
Itructed az aggregate cost of from S75. 600 900
