Seattle, Wash, July 27.-The Brit

for Bering sea next Monday from Co
moX, B. c., to take part in what is
expected to be the last Bering sea
seal patrol.
The treaty just signed by the four
fur seal powers prohibits sealing for
fifteen years. There are now in
Alaskan waters four British Colum.
bia sealing schooners and 36 Japan
ese vessels. 1t is the understanding
that the Algerine and the U. s. reve.
nue. cutters will notify the Canadian
and the Japanese sealers of the sign.
ing Of the treaty, and order them to
stop hunting. There are now Ameri.
can sealers in the Bering sea.
In succeeding years it will not be
necessary to maintain a patrol fleet.
There will be revenue cutters in the
sea each simmer for the protection
of shipping and any sealing vessel
would be in peril of seizure. The con-
clusion of the treaty will put stop
to the constant strife over the seizure

made a statement in the House of
Commons today on the subject of Mo-

it was bound to become difficult and
Earassing unless solution was
found.
Mr.. Asquith said that Great Britain
was not party to the conversations
proceeding between France and Ger
many but earnestly and sincerely de.
sired to see them result in an ar
rangement honorable and satisfactory
to all parties. He appealed to the
House not to seek to enter into the
details of the situation at the pres

government had thought it right from
the beginning to make it clear that
failing satisfactory settlement, Great
Britain must become an active party

EXCUSE FOR A BAD MISTAKE.

Washington, D. c., July 27.-Gifford
Pinchot, former government chief for
ester, and now president of the nation
al Conservation association. today is
sued a statement declaring that Pres
ter wholly untouched" in his message
to the Senate denying that there could
be any mOnopolization of the water
front of Controller Bay, Alaska.
Mr.. Pinchot opens his statement
with this charge: "The presidents
defense of his course in the Control
Ter Bay affair shows how nard it is to
make a good excuse for bad mis-
take
Concluding, Mr.. Pinchot says: at
lis unfortunate that the friends of con-
servation, in their efforts to bring
about the development of Alaska for
the benefit of people, are continually
obliged to expend their strength
against the men who ought to be the
protectors of the peoples property 1t
looks to me like unnecessary duplica-
ton to work-wnen we must first
get the policemen before we can get a
chance to stop the looting.'
In spite of all explanations, says Mr..
Pinchot, "the fact remains that Mr..
Taft, in opening the lands around Con.
troller Bay and without notice to the
public has given interests behind Ryan
an opportunity to acquire the key to
the channel of Controller Bay before
the public knew what was going on.
"The president denies that in grant
| ing Ryan's request for the opening
of Controller Bay by the Executive or
| der of October %, there was an ele-
ment of secrecy and quotes a press
dispatch of the same date announcing
his action.
| But Mr.. Taft does not mention that
on the day he signed the order and no
titled the press in Washington, Ryan's
surveying party was ready in Alaska
and that by November 1, or four days
after the order was made, and before
the government officials in Alaska
had been notified of the order, they
had begun survey of the Ryan claims
on Controller Bay.
"The commission of the customary
80 days notice to the public that the
land would be open to entry gave Ryan
what he wanted. 1t cut off all chance
for any competitor to locate on the
terminal lands until after Ryan made
his selection. No amount of newspa
| per notice to the country after the ex.
ecutive order was signed could in any
respect interfere with the pre-arrang.
ed work of Ryan's agents or enable
any arrival to enter a foot of land on
Controller Bay except what was not
wanted by the people wnom Ryan
represented. 1t was like locking the
stable after the horse was gona. If
! the order had been wholly secret, the
effect could not have been different.
