Pelagic sealing bill bars U S sealskin imports
Washington December 17 The new pelagic sealing bill beyond prohibiting pelagic sealing by Americans also bans import of fur sealskins from any source taken in waters cited in the act. The provision forbids importation of all fur sealskins whether raw dressed dyed or manufactured and mandates seizure and destruction after effect. Experts say this is more impactful than the pelagic sealing ban.

Burke Stands for Principle An editor letter response to Collins
In a rebuttal to General Collins at a Faneuil Hall speech, Burke denies alleging he would praise Mayor Quincy for a reappointment. He recalls refusing a city position offered via a powerful agent, insisting on keeping his principles intact despite business losses in 1873 and the 1878 Legislature caucus. Burke says he informed Collins of the offer details and asks for verification of the agent’s authority. He states he will accept Collins’s silence as acknowledgment of his principled stance.
