OTTAWA, November 16.-With more than
ordinary interest have the sealers of British
Columbia, and in fact Canadians generally,
been waiting to hear what Lord Stanley
would have to say regarding the recent
seizures OF Canadian vessels in Behring Sea
by United States cruisers, and after waiting
they know but little more than they did
before. On laying their case before the
Governor General, during his recent visit to
Victoria, the Sealers' Association, in their
address to His Excellency, called attention
to the manner in which they had been mis-
represented.
''It has been published broadcast IN En-
gland, as well as in America" !" the address
went on to saw "that for every one seal
taken by our sealers and placed on the mar
1et ten seals are DESTROYED. We believe
that this statement, persistently made, and
seldom or
NEVER CoNTRADICTED,
has created, especially in England, a preju-
dice against our sealers, and it is to the
gross inaccuracy OF the statement we desire
10 especially draw Your Excelleney's atten-
tion. We have abundant evidence, part
of which is already in the Department of
Fisheries, Ottawa, that the actual number
of seals killed by our sealers, but for a va
riety of causes not actually captured, does
not exceed six in every 100.
We are charged also with the wholesale
destruction of female seals while carrying
and nursing their young, thus destroying
immense numbers of young seals as we'll.
To answer this charge it is only necessary to
say that the females breed upon the islands
in Behring Sea about midsummer; that
they remain with their young about two
months, seldom going more than few miles
from the island for food, and consequently
do not come within reach of our sealing
vessels. The great majority of seals taken
In Behring Sea by our sealers are what are
known as bachelors and barren cows"
TOO CLOSE A SEASON.
SIT has been stated that the matters in
dispute will probably be settled by COM
promise in the nature of a close season from
May to December in each year TOR seal hunt
ing in Behring Sea. As the only period of
the year when seal hunting can be carried
on in Behring Sea falls between May and
December, Your Excellency will see that 8
close season, covering the period men
toned, means practically the complete
closing of the sea to our sealers and
q monopoly of the fur trade by the Alaska
Commercial Company or other lessee of the
same rights and privileges now enjoyed BY
that company from the Government of the
United States. We feel assured that Your
Excelleney will, so far as is consistent with
your high and responsible position, be able

LORD STANLEY GLAD TO HEAR 1T.
BE Hopes Some Satisfactory Compromise May be Made
Very Soon.

The Canadian sealers who have been
accused of destroying too many seals in their
pursuit of each seal placed on the market,
have denied that charge. Lord Stanley, in
replying to the sealers' address, agrees with
them in their conclusions, and says he is
glad to learn that they have been maligned.

Replving to the address His Excellency
said: "The matter on which we have met is

tions could have to speak upon. 1t con

you are able to show that such is not the

Chicago Onera House.

Professor Hermann has attracted very
large audiences at the Chicago Opera
House this week His Illusion "crema
ton" is undoubtedly one of the most
startling, and at the the same time the
most mystifying of all the magician's feats
which the public have had the opportunity
of witnessing in many years. Nile, Her
mann, who is the subject upon whom
Prof. Hermann experiments, is placed in
casket the sides and top of which are
made of glass, so that the audience can
view what takes place within. The torch
is applied, and to all appearances the body
is reduced TO ashes. OF course this is not
the case, it is only part of Prof. Hermann's
powers of deception, for the lady appears
Immediately to the audience, without a
vestage of damage being done by the
flames. This wonderful illusion, however,
is not the only startling thing in Prof
Hermann's repertoire. His expose of
Spiritualism" is undoubtedly the best
thing of the kind ever attempted. Then
there is D'Alvini, the famous juggler, who
is an attraction in himself, and several
other people who have been retained for
their ability TO add to an evenings enter
tanment such as is given by Prof Her
mann. The wonderful magician will be
seen all of next week ut the Chicago Opera
House, after which Donnelly & Girard will
present their new piece, THE City Direc-
tory" from the pen of that venerable
writer, Paul Potter. The piece has said TO

The Monticello Seminary.

The building which burned Nov. 4, 1893,
with a loss above insurance of $1SO,OOO, is
now being replaced by a still more expen-
sive structure. In little more than a
month after the fire, wooden temporary
building was opened for the school TO 90
on. In addition to the $4,000 insurance,
funds came in from former pupils and
friends, William H. Reed Of Chicago,
whose deceased wife was a graduate Of
Monticello, gave $4,000. It is intended
that the new building Of this oldest
college for women west Of the Alleghanies
shall not have its equal in the United
States. 1t will be three stories in height,
with frontage east Of $40 feet, and south Of
200 feet, divided as follows: Main build

wing and water tower. An Immense

\ Nineteenth Century Saint.

There is nothing in history more touch
ing than the martyrdom of the Rev. j
Damien de Veuster whose death was an
nounced by telegraph from San Francisco
May 10,
Sixteen years ago this heroic young
Belgian priest landed on the rocky island OF
Molokai in the Hawaiian group. His heart
was filled with profound pity for the
abandoned lepers. Stories Of the horrible
immoralities practiced in a Presidential
community, where there was no law and
no religion, had reached his ears He
yearned to raise the cross there and preach
the tender message of Christianity to the
ransomless captives of leprosy.
Father Damien knew that certain death
awaited him. He knew that his comely
body would be polluted by the most dread
full disease known to man.
But he went to his post with smile on
his face and sweet words on his lips He
found a damned company wailing in the
uttermost depths Of physical and moral
degradation. Distinctions of age and sex
were obliterated. Gaunt misery stalked
among the dying wretches. Their homes
were fit only for wild beasts.
brought out of chaos Soon the hush of
piety succeeded the savage revels of the
hopeless and friendless lepers. Little
whtewashed cottages arose, Pretty gar
dens began to bloom. Christian hymns
trembled up from the lost men and wo-
men. The peace of consolation brOoded
over the island
Who shall say what the kind ministra-
tions of Father Damien were to the hup-
dreds of ostracised human beings In fara-
way Moloksi or with what holy devotion he
soothed the dying hours of strangers?
At last the good man was marked by the
inevitable brand of nature He was lep
er TOTO be Stunned by all on earth save
those around him. Slowly he perished,
doing what he could to ease and comfort
his flock while yet he was alive.
such an example ought to silence the
man who cries out against the nineteenth
century. No age and no race has produced
a more supreme type of unselfish heroism.

with opportunity for musical culture, for
painting, and all art studies for girls. The
order of the day is to put woman forward
wherever there is work to do, as a compet
itor of man in the struggle for bread and
home. If learning is of use to man, why
not her? If there are pleasures in achieve

HUGH S. THOMPSON. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

HUGH s. THOMPSON. THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Col Hugh S. Thompson was born i'll 1896
in Greenville county, S. c., and graduated
from the South Carolina Military academy
in 1856 He had but started in his profess
sional career when the war broke out, and
he at once entered the Confederate army,
serving through the war with distinction.
At its close he became principal OF the
Columbia Male academy, which he raised to
high rank. In 1882 he was elected gov
srnor Of the state and reelected in 1884, but
resigned to take tho place of assistant secre-
tary Of the treasury in the Cleveland admin
istration. The law requires that ono Of the
three commissioners shall be a Democrat,
and Cod. Thompson is certainly qualified in
that respect.
Theodore Roosevelt has had the most va
ried career of any young American now in
public LIFE and while not always a perfect
success politically, he appears to have got as
much enjoyment out Of politics as that faSci-
mating but uncertain pursuit can be made to
yield. Nature and fortune did much for him.
Descended on one side from the best Dutch
stock Of colonial New York and on the other
from revolutionary heroes, he also inherited
a large fortune and with taste for literature
and no small ability as a writer. Yet he is
but 80 years old.
He was born in New York city, Oct. q,
1853, and graduated from Harvard in 1850.
He studied lava year, and in 1881 was elected
to the legislature, being reelected in the two
succeeding years. He went into the work Of
reform legislation" with all the ardor Of
youth and inexperience, and devoted almost
his entire time for three years TO deyising
measures for improving the government Of
lis native city. In some of these he was quite
successful In 1884 he was chairman Of the
New York delegation 70 the National Repub-
lean convention, but when that body closed
is work he retired for a short time from poll
tics, living rather secluded on his ranch IN
Dakota.
In 1856 he was the Republican candidate
for mayor Of New Yorl. in that curious tri-
angular contest that attracted the attention
OF the whole country. Mayor Hewitt, the
regular Democratic candidate, was elected,
Henry George, the Labor candidate, standing
next In the pon and Mr. Roosevelt coming in
as bad third
