IN. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
The trade in sealskins has already Get
in, and in q fortnigh moro will have
been fully inaugurated. Most of the
skins brought to this country come
from Alaska, Cooper Island, the Shet-
land Islands and Victoria. The un-
dressed skins are adm tilted into this
country free of duty. The majority of
them are landed at San Francisco,
whence they are shipped to London,
some of them via Cape Horn by sail
and others across the continent by rail.
The attempts in this country to develop
the industry of dressing the skins has
not met with much success. A few ship
ments are being made to Albany, where
an effort ID being made to increase the
business of dressing the skins, but 90
far it has not proved q success. In Lon
don this work has been successfully per-
formed for many years, and the men
engaged in it are acknowledged as com-
plete masters Of the art, and oapnot be
equalled in the methods they have
adopted toward securing perfection in
the o0lofs and general dressing whereby
the greatest durability has been secured.
The animals known as yearlings are CON-
sidered the best for the purpose, and are
most sought after ny those in the trade.
After being dressed in London, the skins
are reshipped to this country, and duty
Of S per cent is cxacted before being
admitted through the custom house.
The demand for sealskins il annually
growing, and this year q larger trade Il
being done in them than ever before,
Those from Alaska are 20 Per cent
higher than last year, while those from
Cooper Island and Victoria arc cheaper.
The Alaska akins, which are becoming
very scarce, aTe stronger, and last On IN
average about seven years, unless SUBJ
iected 10 unusual wear. About 10000
skins are imported annually into this
country, at . cest ranging from SIS to
go apiece.

The schooner William L. Beebe, con-
corning the safety Of which some anx-
iesy had been felt, arrived in port Wed
nesday evening, and il nov lying at
Yesier's wharf. The Beebe has bad a
most unenviable experience, having
been twenty days from San Francisco TO
Port Townsend, with bad weather dur
ING the entire period. She left San
Francisco on October 7th, and had fine
weather only during the first day out.
On the 8th her misfortunes began with
a burst of stormy weather, which con-
tinued without intermission. On the
18th she sprung the first leak, and be-
fore IL could be stopped the hold con-
tanned water to the depth Of two feet.
After the greatest exertion the fiov of
water was temporarily stopped, but the
bad weather continued. and on the 18th
the leak reopened. The flow of water
was, however, again stopped, and the
hold pumped dry.
From the 18th TO the 18th the schooner
proceeded on her course in this semi
Ieaky condition, bat on the latter date
she was caught in heavy sea of Cape
Flattery. Another and a much worse
leak WAS sprung. and in spite Of all that
could be done by CAPTAIN Furgesen and
his crew, the water in the bold gained
on the pumps, and il seemed that
nothing could be done to stop the fiow,
which threatened destruction TO the
vessel. Preparations were made TO
leave the ship, but the efforts to stop
the leak were continued with fisal sue
cess. At this time the situation OF the
Beebe was most critical, and Captain
Furgesen states that she would have
gone down within an hour had not the
leak been stopped when it was. While
| the schooner was in this condition. three
vessels were in sight at different times
The Beebe hung out signals OF distress
asking them to remain by her all night
| but the strangers either did not see Oh
did not choose to heed the signals. ano
went on their course, leaving the Beeoe
to her fate.
The efforts of the officers and crew
were finally successful, the amount OF
water in the hold was reduced, and on
the 9th Port Townsend was reached
| With an exhausted crew and leaky
vessel. Captain Furgesen deserves
credit for bringing the schooner IN il
safety, as the difficulties encountered
were sufficient to tax the skill OF the
oldest seamen.
The cargo of the schooner was badll
damaged, but the amount OF loss can
not be ascertained until the unloading
is completed.

POST : NTELLIGENCER


The reply of Commander Wildes' OF
the Arctic supply ship Yantic, to Score
tary Chambers charge that he had as
obeyed the orders Of the Departments,
ard thereby defeated the objects OF the
expedition, Is a striking commentary
mon the conduct of the Navy Depart
ment and the condition of its ships
commissioned for dangerous and I'M
portant service. Commander "iides
saws: "rhs boilers Of the Yantic were
in an unreliable condition" They we're
being repaired. and were not ready when
she sailed; material for completing the
work was taken on board. and the work
of repair continued while sailing nortn-
ward. He stopped at Godhaven ana
completed his repairs. II was for TINS
that he was principally blamed. de
saws of this: "Had we sailed from God
haven at the same time as the Proteus,
besides being unable to keep up with
hsr. We should have arrived at Littleton
Island with q coal supply reduced to
seventy-fiye tons. and boiler in a lsaky,
preoarious condition" In other words,
among the ice fields, where steam only
is TO be relied upon, this officer WAS e.
pected TO cruise with seyenty-fivs tons
of coal and dangerously defective
boiler. Somebody is criminally care
less in the matter of this Arctic expedl-
tiou. and thus far il certainly appears
that it lies with the Navy Department
to clear itself from the responsibility OF
the disasters which have left the brave
Greedy and his men to endure the
rieors of another winter in the Arctic,
insufficiently provided with food. Vi
course II is the duty OF the Department
70 hold the officers of this relief expedi.
ton to strict accountability and make
sesrching investigation. But when thai
10 done and they are found to have done
their duty the search should not bt
stopped until the blame is fixed upon
the proper parties. Some official or 9th
cials sitting in warm and cosy offices IL
Washington are responsible. Some ont
ordered and permitted relief ship "
sail for Arctic waters with a leaky AND
dangerous boiler. only partly patched
up, and by the resultant delay the live'
of number of brave and helpless mel
have been endangered. That officia
somebody should be found out and
properly dealt with.
