The Alaska Commercial Company
whose lease of the fur seal islands of
st. Paul and st. George will expire
in 1890, contends that its lease will be
worthless if the Government allows
independent seal fishing in the Eas-
tern part of Behring Sea. A move
ment is on foot in Washington, how
ever, to oppose a renewal of the lease
when it expires and to throw open
the fisheries to the general public.
An agent of the company has re-
ported to the Government that dur
ing the year 1896 skins were taken,
an average of 1854 seals being killed
per day for thirty-nine days.
The Iessees want authority to EN-.
ploy additional natives from Alaska
to teach them the business of
sealing. 1t appears that the occupa-
ton is causing heavy fatality among
the natives of the islands. At forty
cents a skin they earn years pay
in about six weeks, and for the
balance of the time crowd into their
huts, without any ventilation or SAM
tary arrangements, to emerge, at the
end of their period of Information,
quick victims to pneumonia and other
pulmonary diseases. While seventeen
deaths occurred on st. Paul island
among Indians, between June LIST
and July 18th last, not white man
has died OF the island in five years.
One of the Government officials on
the islands urges that the Govern
ment should exert every means to
preserve the seals. After a recapitu-
1ation of the operations of indepen-
dent sealers in Behring Sea, many Of
whom were captured during the past
season by Government vessels, he
estimates that 10000 skins were
taken by marauders, and that this
catch represents the wounding or
killing of upwards of 100000 seals.
Certainly, if such reckless slaughter
be permitted to continue, the seal
will be exterminated in time as the
buffalo has all but been on land. In
that case the woman of the future
will have no seal-skin sacque, for
which the possession of the ballot will
be poor substitute.

Mr.. De MARX, who has come to the
United States to take the post of
Egyptian Minister, was in San Fran
cisco from Panama in December,
travelling on secret mission prior to
assuming his duties at Washington.
Having been an eye witness to the
construction of the Suez Canal, and
among other high positions in Egypt
filed that of Minister of Public
Works, his estimate of the Panama
Canal after critical inspection of the
works will carry much weight. To a
Chronicle reporter Mr.. De Mark said
there were more difficulties in the
Suez than in the Panama Canal. Six
months work, extending ten miles,
was sometimes destroyed by a simeon
filling up the canal with sand in a
single night, but when work is done
on the Panama Canal it is done for
ever. The greatest part of the Pan
anna Canal was finished, the principal
obstacles were all removed. He said
this as practical engineer. The
rest was easy. There was trace Of

THERE is no matter of administra-
ton more important than the pro-
lection of the public health. "All
that man hath will he give for his
life" is truism whatever the motive
of its original utterance or the char
acter of its author. The fact that the
terrible and loathsome disease of
smallpox is prevalent on both sides
of the ocean from these Islands has
been brought to our doors by the
deposit of cases, acquiring the dis
ease at San Francisco and Yokohama,
within a few weeks past in quaran-
tine at this port. There is decided
call for the strictest vigilanc being
exercised against the introduction of
the disease to the community, with
out regard to private interests or con-
veniences that may be affected. 1t is
a manifest anomaly to subject sailing
vessels, thirty to sixty days from
Asiatic ports, to quarantine for a
term of days before anybody is al
lowed to come ashore from them,
while steamers from the same quar-
ter. whose twelve or thirteen days
passage involves the possibility of
infection without development of the
disease, are allowed to let saloon pas
sengers and others come ashore i'm
mediately on arrival if the vessel has
a clean bill of health. A more seri-
Gus question refers to steamer arri-
walls from San Francisco. It is we'll
known that smallpox is prevalent in
that city, and it is not impossible
that it may be introduced here by
steamers, or vessels making the pas
sage within the time for the disease
to develop itself after infection, even
under cover of honestly-drawn clean
bills of health. The matter is sub
mitted respectfully for the considera-
ton of the Board of Health.

The completion of the California
and Oregon Railway was celebrated
with great demonstration at Ash
land, Or, on December 17th Some
idea of the Importance of this com
pleted undertaking may be derived
from the following preliminary re-
marks to the report of the event by
the Alta California. ''This event
represents twenty-one years of rail
way construction almost steadily
pushed through. The difficulty of
surrounding the mountain ranges of
Northern California and Southern
Oregon forced stoppages, and created
for period the impression that this
latest, and in many respects most i'm
portant of the national highways,
might never be completed Its
accomplishment will undoubtedly be
regarded by the commercial circles of
the Pacific coast as the most impor-
tant event in its significance since
the completion of the first overland
railway system in May, 1859 1t
affords for the first time all rail com
munication between the cities of the
Pacific from the southern to the
northern boundaries of the Union,
and places under the control of one
railway corporation an unbroken line
from New Orleans to Portland. Ore
gon, a distance of three thousand
miles. Its projectors contend for the
system that from a strategic stand
point the completion of this northern
link is of vital importance to the
national government as defensive
measure in the event of war, and
necessity arising for the rapid con
centration of troops"
Mr.. Charles Croker performed the
principal ceremony of the occasion
that of driving the last spike-a
golden one and Hon. Horace Davis
was president of the day. Speeches
were made by many notable men,
Mr.. Croker saying that the spike he
drove united the cities of Portland
and New Orleans in one continuous
line of road controlled by one organi-
cation; and he believed it was the
longest line of railroad under the
control of one organization in the
world. 1t was 1885 miles long; one
continuous line with many branches,
5000 miles in all. He felt proud to
say that he had been associated with
the construction of that line and
others in connection with it from ITS
commencement, and he was getting
pretty near tired of it; but he didn't
know but he would take contract to
build that road that Mr. Hoar had
got started toward Alaska.
An interesting feature of the last
spike driving was the fact that by a
Geographic arrangement every blow
of the hammer was heard in tele-
graph office of every town and city |
along the line This was the signal

WHILE the constitutionality of the
Supreme Court Act Repeal Act was
pending, we refrained from COM
menting upon the new appointment
to the bench Now that the Act re
pealing the Act of 1886 has been de-
clared unconstitutional, confirming
the Third and Fourth Associate JUS
tees in their positions, the restraint
is removed. The GAZETTE expressed
itself as not in favor of disturbing
the Judiciary at the late session, con
sidering it better to wait until more
thorough reorganization could have
been effected, making if possible an
Appellate Court removed above dan
ger of complications in cases being
finally adjudicated upon b. bench
of Justices, majority of whom may
have had presided over hearings
below in either Term, Chambers or
Intermediary Division. Mr.. Dole's
elevation will be generally regarded
as an act of executive wisdom, as that
of a man of integrity and even tenn.
per, a profound student of men and
things, and both a lawyer and legis-
lator of extensive experience and
honorable repute. 1t is also a matter
for public congratulation that Justice
Bickerton's career on the bench is,
by the decision just given, prevented
from being summarily interrupted.
His conduct in the Judiciary thus far
has been such as to confirm the pre-
vious estimate of his probity, and he
has been a popular Judge in his
presidency of jury sessions.

VEsTIGEs OF THE MOLTEN GLoBE, PART II,
The Earth's Surface Features, ard Vol
canic Phenomena. BY William Lowthian
Green. Honolulu, 1897. 337 pp. u mo.
cloth.
This is the title of twelve-mo vol
ume that has just been issued from
the Hawaiian Gazette press, and
which is devoted exclusively to the
subject of volcanoes and volcanic
phenomena. Part l., to which this is
the sequel, was published in London
in 1875, and comprised but fifty-ni11g
pages, with several sheets of charfs.
It was, however, so original in its
theories regarding the formation of
the earth and volcanic forces, and
withal, so conclusive in its argu-
ments, that many of the savants of
Europe adopted the new theories,
while others, not so fully convinced,
have waited eagerly for the prom
ised second volume, which has just
been published.
Its author needs no introduction to
our readers resident in this group;
but to those living abroad, we may say
that he is the honored Premier and
Minister of Finance of the Hawaiian
Government During long residence
here. Mr.. Green has made the subject
to which this volume is devoted a
constant study, and has probably
possessed better opportunities for
gathering correct data, than any
other writer on volcanoes. The fact
that Hawaiian volcanoes have pc
RODS of activity, which occur with
some regularity, averaging about
every seven years apart, as is shown
by table inserted at page 287, not
only affords to the student opportuni-
ties for investigating them, but also
for the curious to witness these won
derful displays.
The first FIVE chapters are devoted
chiefly to an calculation of Mr.
Green's original theories regarding
the tetrahedral form of the earthi1
surface, the distribution of volcanoes,
and an inquiry into the nature Of
volcanic action and matter The
sixth chapter gives full account of
volcanic phenomena in the Hawaiian
Islands, which is instructive and in
teresting. The appendix, which com
Drises fully third of the work, EN-
braces numerous extracts bearing on
the subject, and furnishes the most
complete description of Hawaiian
eruptions that has yet been published.
There are very few active volcanoes,
which are so accessible as ours
Even during the most violent erup-
lions of Mauna Loa, the flowing
streams may be approached, viewed
and examined with perfect safety
This has enabled Mr.. Green to fur
nish from various sources the state
ments of actual eye-witnesses of each
outbreak, whose descriptions possess
historical value.
The publication of book on this
subject, which few are able to discuss
satisfactorily or to present in a new
light, is a credit to Hawaii. It's
author has already attracted the IA.
vorable notice of distinguished sciel j
lists, and we feel assured that the
present volume will add to his repu-
tation. Every intelligent person re-
siding here should secure a copy for his
library. The informatie q which it sup
plies relative to our volcanoes, is con
tanned in no other volume so fully.
A good map of the Hawaiian Islands
accompanies it, which will prove val
liable for reference. Mr.. J. II. Soper,
