The Toronto Mai! publishes an interview with Hon. C. H. Tupper, Canada’s minister of marine and fisheries, which the Mail says throws new light on the proposal that sealing operations should be wholly prohibited for number of years for the purpose of restocking the Pribyloff Islands. He admits that there ia anger, not of the extinction of seal life, but of the abandonment of the islands by seals. But while thero is no evidence whatever to show that the Canadian sealers, who do their hunting in open waters, are responsible for this state of affairs, it can be proved that im- proper methods are adopted by the lessees themselves and thatthe ravages of American hers ‘he fact that while the United States becn chasing Canadian vessels all over Bering sea for hunting in the m, they have exer- cised no restraint upon the improper opers- tions of the lessees of the islands and have id others have much to do with it. little attention to the protection of the rook>r- ies from marauders. The fault, he says, is theirs if there is danger of the abandonment of the islands by the weals. According to Mc. ‘Tupper, the true reason for the demand that all sealing operations be stopped for a term of Years is not that the number of seals is being decreased, but that the lessees of the sealing privileges are anxious to throw up their con- racts, which they can do legally and without forfeit only in case they are prevented from taking seals.

Edward Rosanquest,son of a wealthy London banker, was bitten on the leg by a rattlesnake near Daytona, Fla., yesterday, while bunting, and is beyond hope of recovery.

It appears that Walker had a sore on his lip ‘and absorbed some of the poison.
