T. report coming from Victoria that the British government lias seized sealing vessels because of the nonpayment by the United States of the Paris award, is said rlOI 19 1M .1 1 for non-payment. Moreover it is learned that the report from Victoria is based on a misunderstanding of the word "sealing." which does not apply to soals by which implements used in settling are lox'ked up during the closed season.

From authoritative sources the substantial features of the tesU of the next British regulations have been secured. Last year a rule was made that sealers could be moved to Japan where a British consul or other officer would seal up the i ammunition, l-nna ..1 i essels having their arms stacked up i were allowed to remain in Behring sea during the closed season, and were not subject to search and seizure, as the seals i on tneir arms was a guarantee that they were not eapturinir fur-benrinr nnininls But the British admiralty has found that this rule is impracticable. In one case ship master concealed arms and used them in the dosed season, although In-had another set of arms set up as a guarantee against inspection. In another case aparatus used for life saving were seized under the impression that it was fwr killing seals. Owing to these objections the British authorities have determined to abolish this one rule, but not all of them, nw notice to that effect has been given.

The oet of this js to make it unnecessary for the British vessels to go to Japan or elsewhere and have their arms sealed up during the closed season, t. ,1. 1 INEY LAV ilk Waists. Ladies' brocaded Taffety shirred front, butterfly eves; new goods; well neatly made. Reduced from 112.50 to 00.
