Officers of Revenue Cutter Bear EH-
plain Action Taken in Bering
Sea

SEATTLE, Nov. 3.-Relative to the
protest to be made or about to be
made to the state department against
the sealing Of the arms of Canadian
sea otter schooners in Bering sea last

taken was strictly according to law.
There is an international agreement
between the United States and Canada
by which, for three months OF tne
year. or while the fur seals are breed
ing. there shall be no hunting In Ber-
ing sea north of the thirty-fifth par
allel and east of the one hundred ana
eightieth meridian.
The Bear in her patrol of the sea
islands discovered the schooners Pes
cawha of Liverpool, Thomas s. Bay
ard of Victoria and Jessie of Victoria
within the prescribed territory with
equipment for killing seals and sea OF
ter. The gun lockers on all three YES
sells were sealed by the American Of
ficers Just as they would have been
sealed had a Canadian cruiser detect
ed the schooners within the lines.
The certificate accompanying the ac-
tion says that the seals on the gun
lockers could be broken after August
or outside the limit stated.
