NEW l'HASK OF THE OUESTION Stall Are a Luxury and Their Exterinin ation Would Be Ho Calamity-Fiah Are More Important. Seattle. Sept. 15. Captain J. J. Winant. of the steam schooner Mischief, is one of the beat posted men in the country on the seal Question, having made it a consid erahle of a st'idy, not only from his own observations, which have been very extensive, but from every source from which lie could 'It. rive information through otliers. He made a trip to Alaska, last season, to bring down the catch of a number of sealers. His vessel laid around there some time, and he says he was thoroughly disgust ed with the position taken by the United States officials in seizing American sealing vessels while British sealers were practically al lowed to go where they pleased and siat'ghter the seals as tliey oleased. He expretsjs satisfaction at the knowledge that the sealing vessels of both countries are treat ed alike Uiis vear, though on gen eral piinciples he dees not favor the idea of protecting the seal Said he: "Scalsk'ns are a luxury, and though there are many women w ho are ambitious to be possessors of coats made of those furs, yet there is no danger of their 6iillering m case that ambition is never satis- tied. Therefore the extermination of the seals would be no calamity. Seals consume hundreds of millions of pounds of fish annually. Fish is a focd product, the extermina tion of which world be a calamity. Why not protect the fish? Why not protect the necessities of lile instead cf the luxuries? I be lieve it is not wrong, however, to use reasonable discretion. Tnere is no need of allowing sealers to go on the islands and kill the cows about to calve and destroy the young seals, but this is just what this govern ment lias al'owed a private corporation to do. It gave It permission to kill 100,000 seals a year, and those seals were slaught ered on ttie islands the cows killed and the young destroyed. Yes ! this was called protection for the seals, because this corporation was to see that no one else killed any. "I do not know whether seals breed in other places than on those islands or not. 1 am confident the young pups can swim as soon as born, and 1 have been told about the cows hav ing been seen lying on kelp beds with their ca'.ves, though 1 have no direct evidence from authentic sources that they breed there. There are some seals in the couth seas. A iew are taken off Cape Horn every year, but they are get ting rather scarce. It is thought there must be very large rookeries on some islands away south of Van Dieman's Land, wnere it is al most impossibse to reach. I am inclined to think the rookeries in Bering sea islands will have to l relied on for the supply of seals They are the largest known rook; i ies in the world at the present tim and while there is no special obi c tion to giving a reasonable amou.a of protection to the animals, ye l! should not be that kind of protec tion which drives our own vessels into foreign ports to tit out fir their cruise, and to which they bring back their catch, simply be cjtise they get more privileges under the i riiish than they do under the American flag. This season tony-one sealing vessels went out from Victoria, while not more than half a dozen went out fro'ii our American ports. The pnruhase of supplies for thosa vessels, the paying off of the crews ar.d disposal of tbe skins when they come in means a business of al-o'ut $1,000,000 given to a foreign lo. t, when it naturally belongs here. Better give the seals no protection than such protection as that. Another evil of this protec tion business is the fact that it en roll: ages the violation of law. Just think of the temptation for sealers to violate those regulations when they know every skin taken means $0 to $22 for them. It is on the same theory that the high duty on opium encourages smug gling, a proposition no one cau deny. I have been informed by a man who knows what be is talk ing about that for every pound of opium brought in here under duty, a ton is smuggled in. The two are almost parallel cases. Both result in the maintenance of a horde of public officials engaged in a futile attempt to enforca the law. Cap'.ain Winant said that his cargo down from Alaska was valued at $150,000. Not a bad cargo for a little vessel. The Mis chief was built at Yaquioa bay about five years ago, and is a neat vessel of about 100 tons burden. Captain Winant expects M find business for her on the Sound hereafter. CHINKSK DETECTIVES. Thry Are Said to be the 8hrewdrt in the World. A Frenchman naturally thinks the Parisian detectives the best. The English swear by the shrewd ness of Scotland Yard men, and Americans of course, by the New Yorkdetectives. After threeyears residence in China I do not think either of the three bodies are entitled to the credit givn them. The Chinese beat them all. They are atone time the most expert thieves and at anotiier the most skilled detective in the world. A Chinaman can steal your watch while you are looking at it, and he can catch the man w ho fctole it, if it happened to oe some other than himself, when a French detective could not. I have seen evidences of detective ability among the Chinese which would startle even Z-jla. It is impossible for an evil'' doer to long elude the Chinese de'ectives. They scent a crime and follow it to the last before civilized de'ectives would know of it. In acountryof somany people, who all look alike, this is remark able. I heard of one c&se which will serve to illustrate their shrewd ness. A family in Tonquin was murdered and there was no ap parent clew to the murderer. The entire detective corps of thiee pro vinces were placed upon the case, and in three weeks the muiderer no other than the chief of the secret police, who handled the case for the murderer was ar rested and beheaded. Think of that. The Chinese detective fori e is a secret bo ly, and the best or ganized in the world. They have an eye upon tvry man, woman and child, foreign or native, in China, and in addition watch oyer each other. Infouuers are encouraged, and collusion is inv possible. 1 he bead ol the Chinese police is not known. but there is one, and a very active one loo. I have that the present head was once an embassador to a European coun try, but really do not believe that any one knows who he is. There are said to be over (i 10,000 men under him and his assistants, who control the various distuets. FIENDISH WOKK. Men Try to Wreck a Train for the Furone of lioblieiy. Chicago, Sept. 15. A bold at tempt was made to wreck the cannon-ball ex Dress on the Pitts burg, Fort Wayne k Chicago rail road last night. When the train was two miles east of Whiting, Ind., Engineer Pierson saw an ob struction on the track, and re versing the lever, the engine cime to'a Stop just as the pilot pushed its nose against a b.iirL'r of rail road ties. White the passengers and trainmen were standing about the engine discussing the narrow escape from death, Charles How-' anl, of Whiting, an employe of the Standard Oil Company, came running up and said he knew all about the attempt to wre"k the train. "There were live ot them," Howard said, excitedly, "and it was their intention to wreck the train and then rob the express messenger and the passengers Howard then told how lie met the five men at Whiting during the afternoon, and triat they invited him to walk down the ruts burg, Fort Wayne & Chicago track after tarkness had set m. It wasaootit :10 o'clock when the party reached tue spot where the ties vere placed on the track. 1 low aril 'savs that all ot the men were armed, and, pointing their re vol vers at him, they compelled him to aid in putting the timbers icross the rails, lie attempted to run away and warn the tiainmen, when the robbers threatened to shoot if he moved. His story was not believed and he was arrested on suspicion of leing one of the wreckers and brought io tins city. A score of officers irom South Chi cago are hunting through the In diana marshes to-night after the five men. A GOI (1AM K. Salem Wins from the I'ertlamis in a Scere ef Ten to Seven. Salkm, Sept. 15. To-day's ex hibition ball game between the Salems and the Portlands, resulted in a victory for the Salems. Score, 10 to 7. Army Maneuvers Satisfactory. Berlin, Sept. 15. The German army maneuvers nave proved more successful than those of last vear. for the reason that the troops are more accustomed to their novel weapons and to the smokeless powder. At first it required tbe utmost care and watchfulness on the part of the officers to prevent the men from being demoralized by the smokeless powder, which they were unable to understand. But now this peculiar feeling is generally overcame and the new recruits ure steadied by the ex ample of the older men. The kaiser has stated his entire satis faction with tbe conduct of the troops. Swore Falsely for Hire. Detroit, Mich.,Scpt. 15. Frank Parrish, who was brought here last week ftom St. Louis as a very im portant witness in the Perrien ab duction case, wrote a letter yester day to John Considine, one of the alleged abductors, stating that he irarnsn; naa nea on the witness stand when implicating Considine, because he hoped to get $700 from Perrien for testifying against Con. sidine. Parrish has been shown up in fteveral ways to be a pretty hard character. NOT CREDITED. Bellicose Act of Great Britain Denied. IT WAS tSIHPLT A PICNIC, r The Officers Retimed to Their Teitels -Fren Oommeit The Bnltaa in Better Bplrlts- London, Sept. 15. A dispatch jusLxeceived-froiu Cesatantiaople says there is no foundation for the story of British armed occupation of the port of Sigri, on the island of Mitylene, than is found in the fact that a Darty of British naval officers on Saturday last left their ship for the purpose of picnicking on a deserted island ol Cape Sign the party reim barked the same evening, and their vessel sailed. The News and Chronicle both say the report of the occupation of Sigri cannot be without foundation and that, if true, the seizure will oe nothing less than a bellicose act of which Lord Salisbury could hardly have been capable, since he escaped Beaconsfield'a influence. They hope the government will, without delay, inform the public of the real facts. The Chronicle says : The fail in American railroads can only be temporary. Even if the worst fears of European complications are realized, a war would mean a rise in grain to benefit American farmers and trunk lines. Vienna, Sept. 15. The political correspondence of this city, in ex planation of the reported occupa tion of Metyline by the British fleet, says a reaction has occurred in the sultan's mind, in that he has recognized he has been tbe "victim of a shameless intrigue." The same paper adds that the sul tan is no longer suspicious that a plot against bis life is in existence and requested an audience of the British minister and of others in order to learn the truth in regard to the recent occurrence, in which the Turkish empire is interested. FIRE IN NEW YOKK. Destruction of Preperty Bat No Lives Lost. Nkw York, Sept. 15. A fire broke out in the old Commercial Advertiser bui'dinz at 9:15 this morning. In fifteen minutes th names were bevond control. Many people were in tbe building, and some of them had to elide down the lire escape through a dense smoke. It is believed that all es caped. From the fit st it was seen nothing could save the building, and attention was directed to sav int; tbe adjoining property. There were uumerous narrow escapes John Gibbs, who was on the second floor, came down the fire escape so rapidly tnat his clotues were torn and his hair singed. Theie was a considerable scarcity of water at the commencement of the fire. At 10::i0 it was und jr control. A few minutes later the outer walls of the entire Fulton-street front fell with a crash, and so great was the concussion, the windows were shattered in tbe Ber n Ht building, but no one was injured. The building was occupied by clothing, cloak and jewelry firms, printers, etc. The total loss on the stock and buiding is estimated at (400,' O H), in' st cf which is insured Oilier estimates place the Ios be tween $500,000 and $750,000. A lot of loose diamonds, which were on the tables ot tbe diamond workers in the building were lost. They are valued at several tbous and dollars. THK KENTUCKY METHOD. Thiee Men Hack an Unfortunate Enemy to Pieces. IlAiutoDRBiKO, Ky., Sept. 15. For fifteen years bad blood has ex isted between the Beaslys and Jordans, and during that time one Jordan and one of Beaslys nave fallen victims of the fued. To-day Darwood Jordan took some water melons to Salvissa to sell. )wen Beaslv passed by and tried to re new the old grudge, but Jordan wanted no difficulty. Beaslv got bis brother and his father, who re newed the quarrel against the pro- the unequal odds, defended him self as beet he could with his knife and in Borne way managed to get hold of a hatchet and with this he was cutting right and left, but tbe odds were too much for him and he fell from tbe loss of blood, the Beaslys having literally cut him to pieces. Jordan cannot live. The Beaslys are yet at large. PROBABLE 8TK1KE. Men at the Union Pacific Car Sttops Dissatisfied. Portland, Sept. 15. Trouble is brewing at the Union Pacific's Al bina car shops. The employes have been urging the management for many months to reduce the working hours per day from ten to eight hours, with ten hour's pay. The employes number over 400, and they offered very strong arguments in favor of their claims, bul tbe company turned a deaf ear to the plea. The men refused to strike, though a few employes advised such a step. The majority demurred to such a measure, realizing that strikes are seldom successful, and better counsel prevailed and the men remained at their posts. This morning the entire work ing force was notified that the re duction desired has been made, to go into effect to-day, but that tbe same would be accompanied by a corresponding rednction in wages. On Saturdays the shops will be closed at nosn, hence in a month each employe will lose 15 hours' pay. The notice baa caused a complete change of base among all tbe men. They declare that they cannot stand the reduction, and that thev will not stand it. Whether there will be a. strike Us -matter of conjecture ; but if indi vidual expression can be taken a an indication, there is little donbt that a walkout will ensue. Tbe matter will be taken before the trades union at once for careful consideration. The company claims that in re ducing the working hours they have benefited the men, since - work is growing scarce and the days are growing shorter. If tbe hours were not reduced, a large number of men would have to ba discharged, and rather than throw the minority out of employment. the whole force must suffer. This argument fails to pacify the men. They claim that those who might be discharged could find other em ployment. DEMOCRATS IN SESSION. New York Men Meet At Saratoga Not Yet Organised.
