WASHINGTON , Nov 17 The officers of
the State department were very much sur
prised ut the reports of the otal failure of
the Cnnadlcn negotiations which appeared
today in several newspapers One of them
enld that that view Is uot taken by the gov
ernment in Wathlngton "The representa
tives of the Canadian government who have
/ just left this city did not come to Washington
<
ton with anj expectation of concluding any
arrangement or treatj during their brief Btaj.
Thej entertained views upon tbo question of
the scaling regulations and hoped to acquire
accurate information as to the views of our
government upon the remaining questions ,
which their "preceding government In Canada
liad failed to adjust.
"The only fact correctly stated In the pub
lications referred to is that under the favor
able Influences prevailing tun seal experts
agreed upon a report nils report will fur
nish a good tasis for further action It goes
without saying that Canada is not disposed
to make a concession on the seals without
some consideration to Canada What such
reciprocal concession or concessions would
be is a question not yet disposed of , but
continuing under consideration There has not
boon the slightest check to the negotiations
further than the inevitable delay in the set
tlement of the sealing question The
Canadian i epresentativet were hospitably
received , frankly talked with and partici
pated in a free and frank discussion "
Hie official added "If ever irritating
questions can be removed between the two
countries ( meaning the United States and
Canada ) they tan be disposed of under the
administrations now charged with the con
duct of affairs in the UnitoU States and in
Canada. "
Seme Interest naturally attaches to the
conditions that will govern the seal hunters -
ors In. the Juturo. supposing that no ar-
jsngement is arrived at "bat * eon the United
Stales and Great Britain for further meas
ures -piotectlon In the absence of an
oIlclal ! statement on the mibjoct an answer
appears to 'be afforded 1) } the language of
the award made bj the Paris arbitrators
That body , Saving In terms decided that
the United State * bad no right of protec
tion or propertj in the fur scale In 'Bering
jca bejnnd the three-mile limit from the
rhores of the sual Islands , laid down a set
ol regulations for the guidance of both
parties to the agreement , prescribing the
conditions under -which foals might be
taken In the waters of the North Pacific and
Bering eOa. Theoe are the regulations that
govern today , enlarged as thej have been
by mutual agreement. It Is provided In the
award as follows'
"The concurrent regulations hereby deter
mined with . view to the protection and
jinwrvutlon of the fur seals shall remain In
force until they have boon In whole or In
part abolished modified liy common agree
ment between the governments of the United
States and Great Britain. Tne said concui-
rent regulations ( shall be submitted every
five years to a nrvv tflcamluatioa. so ns to en
able both Interested governments to consider
Hhnther in the light of past exparHnce there
Is occasion for any modification thenof. "
This Ilrst term of five jears expires about
the time the seal season closes next year ,
and It Is a fair assumption from the language
of the award , that falling on agreement on
further regulations those In force will con
tinue to run.

TCASHIN'GTON , Nov. 17 The division
of soils of the agricultural depart
ment , ivthlch was established a
couple of jears ugo , is conduct
ing some of the most interesting experiments
nf the department. Prof Milton Whitnej ,
who is in charge of the division , is engaged
at ' present in the inv estlgation of the climatic
conditions of moisture and temperature in
their relation to the local distribution of
crops The work has a scope ns broad as the
country. It Trill cventuallj embrace all the
soils and staple crops , and in its lelatious
to the future of the country , w hen crops must
be specialized under the intensified Ejitem
of i agriculture v hich must come to our farm
ers in a few jeara , it promises to be of the
utmost economic and practical value.
Its practical utility will be the determina
tion of thp normal water contents of the dif
ferent soils in various portions of the coun
trj , their capacitj for the absorption tiid
retention of moisture with the amount of
moisture : required bj different crops , together
with m-thods for ascertaining the point at
which lack of moisture would endanger crops ,
and the most feasible methods of irrigation
Thus far the investigation has cov ered onlj

velous results have already been obtained
It has been ascertained , for instance in the
matter of tobacco growing that tobacco w rap-
prra vvalca are grcwn on the light Boils of
Connecticut , require but T per ceri of mois
ture , while the fillers which are best grown

veloped some most astounding facts ind some
which the department of agriculture is not
jet able tot explain
Prof Whitney saj-s the history of these
soils will make the most remarkable chapter
in the hlstorj of the world's agriculture Al
though these soils , excepting the lied river
and desert districts mentioned , have only
from one-fifth to one-half of the annual rain

Bozeman and Pullman termed the Palouse
district , the annual rainfall varies from ten
to tweatj inches , in which from one to ten
inches fall during the season of the growing
