PoAcHERs LIKE BURGLARS.
There viii Probably Be no Trouble
With Japan over Seal Fisheries.

Washington-OfRc OF the state
department do not think there is the
slightest possibility OF international
complications arising between the
United States and Japan over the kill
ing OF FIVE and the capture OF IL Jap
anese seal poachers In the Pribilofr
islands by officials OF the department
OF commerce and labor.
For years this government had
trouble with England over the seal
fisheries in Alaskan waters, British
and Canadian poachers persisting In
entering American preserves and kill
ing seals unfortunately, but no seri-
Gus complication ever arose
Now Japan appears to have taken
the place OF Great Britain. With the
former as well as the latter the U. S.
government is determined to enforce
the law for the protection of the seal
fisheries at any cost.
This government looks upon the
Japanese or any other seal pOachers
in much the same light as burglar
who breaks into private residence
at night, with the intention of steal
ing the owners property is regarded
by the ordinary citizen. II the house
holder should fire upon the burglar
and kill him any court in the land
would uphold his action.
Inasmuch as the Japanese were
equally in the wrong, coming as they
did into American waters for the pur-
pose of killing seals in defiance of
law, and therefore at their own risk
and peril, this government does not
apprehend any serious trouble.
In communicating the facts in the
case to Ambassador Wright at Toxic,
the ambassador wa directed, Of
course, to regret that the encounter in
the Pribiloffs occurred, but at the
same time, politely and forcibly, to
intimate to the mikado's government
that future offenders will be treated
in the same way.
Neither the departments Of COM
merce and labor nor the state have
full information regarding the Japan
ese poachers, but the report already
received shows that the Japanese
were caught red-handed in the act Of
Unfortunately slaughtering seals,
some of them females with young. 1t
is this inhuman practice which has
nearly resulted in complete extermin-
alton of seals in Alaskan waters.

NAV Stop PAPER Money.

Pittsfield, Mass-Ten women EN-
ployed in the government paper-mak'
ing plant in this city may create
shortage of paper money in this Coun'
try. They are the expert sorters OF
the bank note paper made for the
treasury department, and are trained
employees. They went out recently be.
cause their pay was not raised from
$l.l5 to Sl.25 a day The manufac
turers offered to compromise at $l.20.
Daily shipments of paper are made
to Washington to keep a supply or
fresh bills in the money market, and
the tieing up of the mill would be a
serious matter, as all of the paper
used by the treasury department is
sent out from this city.

Bellingham, Wash.-Six members

party reached the summit of Mt. Bak'

seemed impossible barriers and
reached the top.

St. Johns, N. F.--The Quebec gov
ernment, which maintained a party
of surveyors at Hamilton inlet last
winter surveying lumber areas, has
seized 10000 logs belonging to lum-
Der company operating there under
leases from the Newfoundland govern
ment. The Quebec government claims
the territory and Newfoundland con-
tends the contrary. This brings about
an acute phase of the boundary dis
pute between Canada and Newfound-
land, and it will likely compel early
arbitration of the matter by the inn
perial ministry.
