The Seal Fisheries.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE house com
mittee on merchant marine and the fish
cries Of Alaska is directed to ascertain
whether contracts which have been made
by the government with any persons or
companies have been violated. and report
whether any legislation is necessary for
the protection Of the seal fisheries.
AT a meeting today H A. GlIdden, ex-
agent Of the treasury department at Sea
Islands from May, 1882. TO July, 1885, was
called. He said the condition of the peO-
pie compared fav0rably with that of la
b0rers OF this county. The moral habits
OF the people were good There was no
breach OF peace to speak OF and no neces-
sity for civil officers. His observations
We're that Jaborers were paid better than
any other labOrers in the world. From an
almost barbarOus state under Russian gov
ernmenU, the islands had been brought up
90 a state of standardization under the in
huence OF The American government HIS
opinion was that if the fisheries were
thrown open to competition the seals would
become extinct In five years. The policy
Of leasing the privilege OF taking seals was
the very best policy that could be practiced
by the gOVernm The committee then
adjourned subject TO the call OF the chair
man.
