who was thrown to his knees.
With blow OF an iron trunCheon, how

thus got rid OF his adversary he proceeded
to make the other animals 20 through
their Wonted performances, although the
blood was flowing from his arm. He was
in 0 state Of frenzy, and did not seem to

On the DoprodatIons ON tho Alaskan Seal
Fisheries.
WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept. l7,--speclal
Agent Tlngle, Of the Treasury Depart.
ment, has returned to the city from the
Seal Islands Of Alaska. He left Alaska
shortly after the seizures Of foreign seal
ers had been made by Capt. Abbey. In
the case Of tho British vessel Onward,
Mr.. Tingle says that the master OF the
vessel admitted having killed his catch Of
seals along the shores OF the Seal Islands.
These predatory sealers, he says, make
a practice OF stealing ashore under cover
OF fogs and clubbing seals, which are
then tossed into boats and conveyed
on board ship to be skinned. Large mum.
bers Of seals are also shot in these waters,
and this practice la particularly deatruo.
tive from the fact that three out Of every
four animals shot sink and cannot be re-
covered. Notwithstanding these losses,
the agent says, the seal life Is increasing
with great rapidity. The agent was not
inclined to discuss the legality Of the
seizures already made, but stated that q
law officer had been sent from San Fran
cisco to assist In the prosecution Of the
cases before the sitka court.

west corner Of Fifth avenue and Twenty,
first street for some twenty odd years, and
10 beyond question the most stable and
high,toned club in the city, The trouble
with the Union Is that 1t pretsnda to be
par excellence the most aristocratic club In
the city. This is not from the fact that "a
soon as wealth, either seli.earued or in,
heHted, puts the possessor Ia the upper
swing, he can get into the Union, provided
there is q vacancy, Many such have got
in, No hereditary right is required,
as In the st. Nicholas, or assured
position OF respeCtabillty, as In the Cen.
tury. AT the same time some OF the best
families In the city are represented In the
membership OF the Union. There are
fewer young men in the club than any
other In the city. All the membevs have
passed from that condition In that called
"boys" Of ages ranging from thirty 10
forty, while many Of them ARE totterinR
old gentlemen, who are connoisseurs as To
the port wine and living directories OF the
city In the past, The popular idea is that
all the men in the Union are rich, and
the address is an open sesame in various
quarters. Notwithstanding that the
wealthy element aboundB, there are prob.
ably more poor everyday men in the club,
sclons Of broken families, or at least as
many as In any other, and the wonder Is
how they manage to keen their footing
