Thursday.
The Bishop of Wellington and Father Sauzeaa returned from Sydney yesterday morning. In connection with the indiscriminate killing of seals on our coast, the Hon. Mr. Ballance now proposes to deal with the matter by leasing lands along the coast-lines to responsible persons, and to make the months of October to May inclusive close season for seals. Draft regulations in connection with seal-fishing are now being drawn up, and will be submitted to experts for their opinion. Prince Alexander, of Bulgaria, declares it would be needless to appoint a commission in settlement of the Bulgarian difficulty, and declares that he is quite ready to comply with the demands of the Turkish Commissioner, provided that the latter country insists on the evacuation of Widden by Servia.
