CATALINA.
A Run of Horse Mackexei-Big Fish
Crowds at Catalina-Jew Fish
and Yellow Tails.


SANTA. CATALINA, August "a.
Three large jew fish yesterday, yellow
tail and albecore the day before, and this
morning the town turned out to see big
school of horse mackerel or "loonad'
come up the coast. One of those fish,
said an old-timer, will go to San Pedro in
ten minutes, and judging from their
speed and leaps it did not seem impoesi-
BILE. The big fellows were after flying
fish, and the little bay of Avalon was
crowded with them and several were
picked up on the beach. Everyone who
could secure boat went out to see the
sport, and was we'll paid by the sight oi
fsh weighing, in some cases, four or five
hundred pounds, leaping ten feet or
more. The sea for miles was white with
foam, and the sight was one long to be
remembered.
Horse-mackerel have been taken in
the East weighing 1000 pounds, and
those fellows were near allies.
The Wanda made run yesterday and
some fine catches of yellow tail were
made, ranging up to twenty pounds.
The island is we'll crowded and the
ball Saturday was the crush of the sea.
SOD, this and the concert being attended
by everyone. The first sociable in the
new church was held Friday, and the
building was well filled. Sunday it will
be dedicated, number of clergymen be-
ing on band for the purpose.
DR.. Wray, DIR. Ramon and several
others are making observations on the
island here in the interests of their
patients. Catalina has little or no fog
and less moisture than Los Angeles,
statements h1d to believe, but true.

letter made the correction that Los An
geles county was one of the few that had
kept the exhibit fairly we'll supplied.
The Chamber of Commerce has sent
many thousand copies of small pamph-
let, without illustrations, which they is
sued some time last fall. In this connec-
tion it might be stated that private let
ter recently received from w. G..
Neimyer, the General Western Agent at
Chicago of the Southern Pacific road,
declares that there is no litera-
ture to be ad with which to
satisfy the questions of the many people
who apply at his Office for information
about Los Angeles. The HERALD re-
Gently issued an ILLUSTRATED ANNUAL
which was confessedly the best thing of
its sort in its complete collection of facts
and its picturing of the beauties of this
section that WAS ever published. Such a
periodical is perhaps too valuable and
100 expensive for general distribution,
but thousand copies sent to the proper
authorities and placed in the hands of
people who would see that they were
discretely used might accomplish no
small degree of good.
Cars for the travelling exhibit of next
year are now being painted and pre-
pared at Sacramento. The body color
will be buff and the signs will be car
mine and gold leaf. The fitting up of
these cars will cost $4,000. They will
be ready to start about the 1st of No.
vember.
On the way back from Meadville TO
Cincinnati brief stops were made at a
dozen different places, and over 35, 900
people visited the train. At Akron, o.,
the exhibitors gave an outdoor show, to
which about 5000 people came.

HARD TO RE-EsrABLIsH RooKERIEs.
The seals once killed off of q rookery
or frightened away, it is next to i'm
possible to re-estsblish it. These
devastated isla- % of the South seas,
after fifty to seventy five years, remain
depopulated. From time to time vessel
passing the islands makes an investiga.
ton. Sometimes old zeal fishers fit out
a vessel and send her on general cruise.
They return after visiting half dozen
places with forty to sixty skins. One Of
these men appeared before the committee
while their investigations were going on.
He said: 81 do not think that 100
seals could be procured from all the local
tiles mentioned by due search. Any
of these localities have named, under
proper protection or restrictions, might
have been perpetuated as breeding
place for seals, yielding as great num-
Der per annum as the islands belong
ing to the United States" He had
named dozen of what were once the
best fisheries in the South Pacific ocean
including the Shetland islands, and
about Cape Horn. He goes on to say
"Now, the trade in these localities
is entirely exhausted, and it
would be impossible in a century to re-
stock these islands, or to bring them
back to point where they would yield
reasonable return for the investment
of capital in hunting skins. That, in
brief, completes the history Of the fur
seal in the South SEAS"
WHAT is LEFT.
Now, taking comprehensive sweep
of the minds eye over the whole broad
expanse of all the seas, what is there
left of breeding places of the fur seal ?
There are the United States rookeries
on the islands of st. Paul
and st. George in the Pribylon group,
situated near the center of that portion
of Behring sea ceded to the United States
by the Emperor of Russia, the best of
all the breeding places left; the Russian
rookeries in the western quarter of the
same waters, and.the one small island of
Lobos at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata,
which is under the protection of the
Argentine Confederation, or more cor
rectly, of one of the States
of that Union, Uruguay. The
island of St.EPaul has an area of thirty
three square miles, and that of St.
George twenty-seven square miles. And
these are the only considerable rook-
cries left on the globe Surely If ever an
industry beneficial to man required fos-
tering protection it is this fur seal fish

FOR DISTEsS COMMISSIONERS.
The President Hears a Delegation I'm
Favor Of MIR. Thomas Somerville.

The name Of Mr.. Thomas Somerville for
District Commissioners was presented to Presi-
dent Harrison to-day. A delegation consisting
of M. N. Parker, Gen. A. ]. Creswell, Henry A..
Willard, E. Kurtz johnson, Louis D. Wine, Col.
Geo. Truesdell, Geo. Gibson and G. B. Church,
called on the President little after IL O'Clock.
He received them most cordially, recognizing
some among them with whom he was personally
acquainted, and gave them more time than it
is his custom to devote to delegations. They
presented the name Of Mr.. Somerville, as q
citizen Of the District, whose appointment
would be in the interest Of the community and
would give most general satisfaction. In his
support they left with the President petitions
signed by representative men in nearly every
branch Of business and in the various sections
Of the city.
Mr.. Parker acted as spokesman, and the
President was very attentive to all that was
said.
The President said that of course it was not
q matter that he could settle there on the mo-
ment. but that they could be assured he would
give their petition every consideration. The
interview was very satisfactory.

UNDER MOUNTAINS OF COAL.
The Six Miners at Shamokin Buried
Beyond Hope of Rescue.

SHAMoKIS, Pa, March 15.-There is now
very little hope Of rescuing alive the six en-
tombed miners at the Black Diamond coliery.
The scene Of the accident is in the
slope 1000 feet below the surface. Hopes
were entertained of reaching two of them
to-day, but fall of coal, bringing down
with it thousands of tons, occurred at
8 O'Clock this morning. II is belived that the
Ipen we're then killed, or will be killed by the
coal, which is constantly falling and
CT sshing down the chamber, or suffo-
caied for lack Of air. Mine Examiner McMut-
rie, Of Shamokin district, reached the
colliery late last night. 1t is esti-
mated that il will take several days
to drive passage way to the men and their
exact fate cannot be Determined at the present
writing. There is a bare possibility that
some spot Of the roof Of the mine will
shelter them. Mining experts say the
Black Diamond was a very safe mine, and that
the causes leading to the accident could not
have been foreseen. The names of the men
are Pat'k Leonard, Michael Buggy, Peter Near
shalsky, Vincent Rukush, John Hill and
Nicholas Revels.
