Report Of Professor Elliot on the Condition Of
Seals in Alaska.

Seals in Alaska.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 17-Professor Henry
w. Elliott. Special Agent of the Treasury
Department to visit Alaska and report upon
the condition of the seals there. is again In
the city. He confirms the statements here
tofore made by other parties and says that
not more than 10000 animals were captured
during the past season. The Secretary of
the Treasury had allowed limit of 10000,
as against 100000 taken last year. The
seals, he says, are OH the verge of exter-
minatioD, and it was a statement to this
effect by the English firm Of Lampsons
that caused such rise in the price of furs.
Professor Elliott thinks the Government
will have to take steps to join with England
in an effort to stop the killing of seals for
s0me seasons to come in order that the
ANIMALS may rest undisturbed for few sea-
sons. He says, in relation to gold-minng,
that none OF the mines are doing anything
save the Treadwell mine, near Juneau.
The population is increasing very slowly.
There are probably not more than 1900
whites in the Territory, unless those en-
gagged in the salmon-canning trade be
counted, and they simply go UP there every
summer AID return in the fall.
