thorities to Inform thenaaelvoa .juite. , thoroughly MM the attitude of Rnaato ou the protection of the seals. It has brought out the fact that llussia takes Ml advanced position in preferring lo r seal herds, und nas mora stringent law a I and regulations iu that direction than any of tue countries interested.

under U.a Buaainn lyatemn lone no miles wide is established around the seal islands belonging to the empire. The seals found within this zone lire regarded as exclusively Kassian, and no one other than the inhabitants of

Mie islands can take a seal within these limits. This gives the Russian eiticus exclusive rights over the seals, not only on the islands, but M miles seaward. A british or Japanese s aier cannot operate within the BOttn except to buy skins of the It naalM inhabitants of the islands. The Kassians themselves are permitted to lull only bachelor seals, u being against strict regulations to kill female or pup seals. The Kassian authorities nee that these regulations arc enforced. A fleet of government shios petrol the 80-mlln .one und any foreign scaler who attempts to operate within these limils is sei .cd. As a rule, the seized sealers are taken to Vladivostock, theircatch con Bacated and severe punishments Inflicted. This has led to many protests, but Kussla has main tamed thus far her rigid regulations against foreigners within the 80mile one. In one notahic case the ship Dahlia, cleared by a I'nited Mates cousin. ir officer, be' manned with a Japanese crew, attempted to take seals on the Buaainn islands. They were met with armed resistance and scveial of the Japanese w ere ii i i led. ( aims for Indemnity were made against Bnaaia, hut never paid, as the imperial notliorltiea maintained their right to protect their propert) against Invasion. It is understood to be the wish of liussia in the forthcoming COOfereUOO Hot to stop at the protective regulations al ready made, but to carry thOM further by increasing the width of the One considerably beyond M miles. The Russian authorities have found by experience that many of the female seals go more than :ai miles to sea iu aaereh of food The wiam is t make the zone so wide that it will extend t: the furthest point to w h ich the femalce go for foo i.
