CRABS IN THE POTOMAC.
Good Catches are Being Made Near
Marshall Hall,

Grabs are making their appearance in
the river within fifteen miles of this city,
the highest up the river they have been
in any number for many years. This is
due to the fact that the rainfall this
summer has been very light and the salt
water of the Potomac has encroa ched
upon the fresh water until it is brackish
above Marshall Hail.
Sunday a pleasure party at McGhies-
port, Md. about two miles below Mar
shall Hall, had fine sport catching big
green crabs and the party, numbering
eight or ten persons, 1t is stated landed
nearly a barrel of the crustaceans. 1t is
stated that crabs have been seen in the
river off Alexandria, but as far as known
none has been caught there. 1t is not at
all uncommon to catch crabs at Glymont,
twenty-five miles below this city. during
a dry summer, but to find them as far
up the river as they now are is remark
able. The catch of crabs in the lower
river is increasing and the receipts by the
dealers at the llth street wharf market
arc growing heavier each day. Good
cabs can now be bought as low as S1.5o
per barrel.

SEAL TREATY RATIFIED.
Senate Acts Quickly and Pact May
Become Effective December Is.

Transmitted to the Senate by the Presi-
dent Saturday, favorably acted upon by
the committee on foreign relations yes
terday morning and ratified by the Senate
in executive session in the afternoon the
iAmerican-BritishR ussian-Japan fur
seal treaty is in a fair way to become
effective by December Is, the time when
1t goes into effect. The committee was
unanimous in its action, and in the Sen
ate not even a question was asked rea-
tive to the terms OF the agreement
Under the terms of the compact the kill
ing of seals III the open seas. known ai
pelagic sealing. is absolutely prohibits
for fifteen years north of the Goth degree
ments are given power to regulate ana
even discontinue seal killing on the seal
islands within their Jurisdiction.
To compensate the sCalerS of Japan and
Great Britain (really those of Canada)
the United States agrees to transfer each
year 30 per cent OF the skins taken an
nually, one-half of which are to go to
the number In no case to fall below 1,0O0
to each country except IN case of total
prohibition. A money compensation of
$780, 900 each is also allowed by the United
States to Great Britain and Japan for
immediate losses. but its refund is pro-
vided for. Japan and Russia are also re-
quired to turn over to other countries a
portion of the skins taken on their is
lands
The treaty does not 60 into effect until
ratified by all the signatory powers, but
as that act devolves exclusively upon the
soVerigns of all the other countries, nei-
Their delay nor failure is anticipated.
