SLAUGHTER OF SEALS
Captain J. J. Winant, of the Mis
chief Tells What He Knows.
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.

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.

Bellicose Act of Great Britain

-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

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.
