The Seal Conference. There seems to be no doubt that Japan, Russia and the United States have agreed through their conferees now in session in this city that the preservation of the seal herd in the Bering sea depends upon the suspensicn of pelagic sealing for a certain season. There is some question as to the duration of this period of protection. The treaty soon to be signed by these three nations will probably bind them to a strict observance of the closed season, but it re- mains to be disclosed just how far each of the parties to the treaty will consent to go in contributing means to enforce the stipu- lation.

Of course nothing practical for the pro- tection of the seal herd will come from the present agreement unless Great Britain shall become a party to the treaty, either through its indorsement or through the writing of a similar agreement with the United States. In the latter event, which is the more probable, the United States would doubtless seek to include in the treaty precisely the same provisions that are now embraced in the terms of the Japan-Russlan-American alliance. Hereto- fore the prohibition of pelagic sealing dur- ing a stipulated period has been an item of serious contention between Great Britain and this country but it is understood that the authorities at London have lately been hearing from a variety of sources that the seal herd is in real danger of extermi- nation and, perhaps, a change has come over the spirit of Salisbury in his attitude toward the situation.

But the ten- tative agreement on this point will have the effect of putting Great Britain's inten- tions in the matter to a final test and of exhausting the alternatives to destruction of the seals on the islands by this govern- ment. If the seals of the United States are certainly to be exterminated by pelagic peachers this government will undoubtedly anticipate the work of extermination. ——__++ 2 _____ General Weyler in Spain. General Weyler returns to Spain a very yeuch disgruntled man. He feels that he has been badly dealt with. He carried out to the reddest letter the orders with which he went to Cuba. He put aside all the hu- Manities of General Campos, blacklisted the people, and entered upon a campaign of exterminaticn. He performed deeds of “appalling savagery, and sounded all the possibilities of such a course of action. He has claimed a large degree of success. But now he goes back with the mark of failure aiust his name, and under a of aceusations as to treausre wasted oldiers neglected. What will be his rse at home? What advantage will his presence there be to The suggestions which Secretary Gag? has thrown out about the reform of the currency are having the effect that was doubtless designed by the publication. They are giving rise to discussion, some of which must necessarily be illuminating. The subject promises to be the-leading one during the coming session of Congress, and to draw the fire of all parties, and of meu out of politics as well as of men in politic: It will not lack for elaboration or for va- riety in the matter of presentation. The Secretary of the Treasury, the monetary commission, and members of the House and Senate, all will contribute. Action by Congress is by no means assured, hut the stock of general information on the sub- Ject ought to be materially increased. Sooner or later action of some kird will be necessary, and this invites the attention of all parties in interest. In the treatment of this subject the coun- try so far has not risen above the phil- that while the weather was inclement the repairs could not be made, and while it was fair they did not seem necessary. While the country was in tie throes cf a botched tariff, with the government's re- ceipts running behind, and gold brokers working the endless chain feature of the greenbacks, talk of currency reform was discouraged. The argument was advanced that it would but add to the difficulties and embarrassments. The weather was too in- clement. Now, when the Dingley bill is giving every promise of justifying itself; with a good supply of gold on hand and mere coming in; with the greenbacks per- forming only useful offices, talk of cur- rency reform to those opposed to it seems superfluous. Why worry? The sun is shin- ing. Why not fiddle and enjoy life? That any harm to business interests can sSrow.ont of the discussion is-well nigh im- possible.. Now is the time to indulge in such discussion, for it is-entirely safe to do so. No extreme measure of any kind could possibly become a law. The House and the Senate are not in agreement on the financial question in.any of its bear- ings, and the President, under the instruc- tions of the St. Louis platform, would not’ be justified in signing aw extreme measure if one were sent to him. If the roef needs. and display the news without delay, and, as on other election nights, the citizens of the capital will enjoy perfect service in every detail. + It may be that Mr. Bryan will regret having made himself so conspicuous in Ohio as to be a liberal sharer of the blame in the event of democratic defeat. ——_++e—____ People who charge Mr. Weyler with hav- ing gotten rich iniquitously will wait with interest to see whether he goes to Engiand with a string of race horses. —_—__ -_____ No doubt David B.

The District Court of Appeals has made it possible to give full force and effect to the law intended to protect the game birds in this vicinity. That law was plain enough in its provisions and prohibitions. It stamped as a misdemeanor the killing of such birds during the closed season, and Included within its restriction the exhi- bition of such birds for sale.
