PELAGIC SPALING.

The announcement from Washington that a portion of the United States Atlantic squadron will shortly leave for the Asiatic Station "paying no duty calls on route, presumably awing to the recent seal poaching in the Behring Sen by Japanese vessels" (Reuter), suggests that it is possible the sealing incident will give rise to some diplomatic trumble be tween Japan and the United States and that the presence of an increased force of warships io Asiatic waters is considered desirable at this time. What is equally interesting, remarks the Japan Chronicle, is the announcement that. an authority on sealing matters, Professor Elliott, has derlared the raiding schooners were owned in America or Canada, commanded by Englishmen of Americaps, but gistered in

The Japanese Government has done every- thing to encourage deep sea fishery, which includes sealing, and since 1898, when the Pelagic Fishery Encouragement Law came into force, both sealing and whaling versels have greatly increased in number. According to the Government's " Financial and Economic Annual" for the present year deep sea fishery is attracting wider attention from Japanese capital than ever before, and the industry on the whole gives promise of rapid development. Japan, with possessions obtained by the late war, should by virtue of ber favoured position derive much larger revenus than is at present the case from her deep sea fisheries,
