SEALERS ANGRY AT
REVENUE OFFICERS
Canadians Claim United States Acted
illegally in Rerina Sea.

VICTORIA. B. c., Sept. 3o.-The
first OF the Victoria sealing fleet to
return. the schooner Jessie. reached
port this afternoon with eight sea OF
tiers and, 542 skins, of which 191 were
taken in Boring sea. The schooners
owners will probably make q claim for
damages following the report of Capt
Munro. Who states that the officers of
the United States revenue cutter ear
boarded her on June 30, after sealing
up the arms OF the schooners Pescaw-
ba and Thomas F. Bayard. and despite
protests. sealed up her firearms Capt.
Munro says this was done to break up
the otter hunting season. and claims
that it was illegal and arbitrary He
protested on board the Bear. but her
captain insisted on sealing up the fire.
arms, and threatened to seize any
schooner breaking out the firearms af-
ter they We're sealed.
The sealing up of the Jessie's arms
followed thorough search for seal
skins. the searchers even ransacking
hunks and searching beneath the floors.
The action of the Bear completely
spoiled the otter season. Four schoon-
ers took eighteen sea otter pelts, and
with good weather prevailing for some
time after the interference of the Bear,
they anticipated big catch. The Bear
was at the time searching for a Jap
aneSe sealing vessel to seize her for
selling liquor to the natives at Yuka
tat and Illegally trading at other VIII
lagos
The catch of the five Victoria sealers,
up to September, was 2.50Q sealsllins
and eighteen otter skins. The schoon-
er Togo Maru. in command of Capt.
Voss, who some years ago circumnavi-
gated the world in a canoe, had the
highest catch of the 80 or 33 Japanese
SchoOnerS in Boring sea, having 1868
skins The others averaged from 900
to 400 sealskins.
1t. was reported that one japanese
sealer had been seized for having one
hunting boat inside the three-mile linn
it. Much bad weather prevailed dur
ing the sealing season.

RAT TIE
FIXED

OLYMPIA, Sept 30.-The Northern
Pacific has agreed to cut grain rates,
effective November 1. The state rail-
road commission today made the fol-
lowing announcement:
LAS a result OF a conference be-
tween Judge Reid of the Northern
Pacific Railway company and the
railroad commission yesterday an
agreement was reached on the wheat
rate case. The Northern Pacific pc
titioned the commission for a, modi-
tication Of its order so as to make the
order apply only to rates from the
interior to Seattle and Tacoma. The
complaint challenged the reasonable
ness of these particular rates and the
evidence was directed toward the
rates only. AS a result of the con-
ference the commission modified its
order, so as to read that the old rate
of 1914 cents a hundred pounds be
made Il cents, the 17-cent rate be
made Is "a cents. the II 2-3-cent
rate be made Is IL cents, the II
cent rate be made Is cents, the 16 Ia
cent rate be made IA IA cents, the
16-cent rate be made IA cents, the
Is 3-4-cent rate be made Is 3-4 cents
the lucent rate be made - IA cents,
the 141-2-cent rate be made II ga
cents, the 14-cent rate be made
121-4 cents and the 13-cent rate be
made II IL cents
The order was further modified by
providing that the new rate should
take effect on November 1. This ex-
tension was granted at once to en-
able the o. r. & n. to meet the rate
of the Northern Pacific, and as the
service rendered by it is practically
all interstate it is necessary to pub
lish the rate 80 days before 1t can
take effect The Northern Pacific on
its part agreed to Immediately issue
it's new tariff and have the same pub
lished. so as to have the same con-
form with the order of the commits
sion.
The commission further provided
that the rates to points other than
Seattle and Tacoma west of the
mountains be correspondingly re-
duced, but left the detail of this to
the Northern Pacific.
The modified order will undoubtedly
result in rates being reduced by the
different roads effective November l,
1909.
