CINCINNATTs SCANDAL.
The Board of Public Improvements Under
Fire-Gov. Campbell Testifes.

CINCINNATI, O., November 26.-At
the meeting of the Reemlin Investigate
ing Committee to-day, Gen. Hooker,
President of the Cincinnati Gas Com
pany, testified that the fuel gas ordinance
was passed so promptly by the Board
he regarded it as fraud pure and simple,
intended solely to sell to his company.
1t had been offered to him for $4,000,
and later the price fell to S12,0 900.
Governor Campbell testified that his
first determination to remove Reemelin
was caused by hearing of Reemelin's
immortality. But in addition to that he
had numerous reports from political
friends that the Board was regarded as
unworthy. Some of them had cited the
passage of the Fuel Gas Ordinance was
not all right. He thought Montgomery
and Dunham were under Reemelin's
control. He had heard from Kerper
and Ellison, two members of the Board,
that the actions OF the other three were
suspicious. Upon looking up the law
he found that he had no power OF re-
moval. He had not opposed having
that power, as reported. He asked
Reemelin TO resign, and suggested that
that course would suppress some dis
agreeable revelations. But Reemelin
defantly refused and the special ses-
sion of the Legislature was called.

NAV Eyterminate the Seals.

WASHINGTON, November 2G.-Prof.
II. r. Elliott, OF the Smithsonian lnsti-
tute, will present report to Congress
on its re-asSembliDg on the seal fur IN
dustry. In his report Prof. Elliott, it
is understood, will recommend that the
catch of fur seals at the American rock
cries be suspended for perion OF seven
years. This period of inactivity he con
siders absolutely necessary for the pre-
servation of the seals from utter an
initiation. At the present time he csti-
mates that there are only 100000 seals
in American waters. The continued
depredatiOns upon them by pirates, and
otherwise has reduced the number so
much that hardly Il sufficient number
remain for breeding purposes. The
utmost care, he considers necessary to
preserve the few that remain or else the
magnificent industry which was pur-
chased from Russia with Alaska cession
will become extinct. 1t was on account
of Prof. Elliott's knowledge of the fur
seal industry that he was especially
designated by Congress to visit Alaska
and make report on the subject.
