Not Over 100, 900 Left in the Sea--Con-
gress Asked to Prohibit Seal Fishing
for Seven Years.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Professor II.
r. Elliott, of the Smithsonian Institute,
will present a report to congress, on its
reassembling, on the seal fur industry.
In his report Professor Elliott, it is I'M
derstood, will recommend that the catch
OF fur seals ut the American rookeries
be suspended fora period of seven years.
This period of inactivity he considers as
absolutely necessary for the preserva-
ton of the seals from utter humiliation.
At the present time he estimates that
there are
Only 100, 900 Seals
IN American waters. The continued
d%epredations upon them by pirates and
otherwise, has reduced the number SO
much that hardly a sufficient number
remain for breeding purposes. The ut
most care, he considers necessary to pre-
serve the few that remain, or else the
magnificent industry, which was pur-
chased from Russia with the Alaska
cession -

~ was Oh account OF PROFESSOR El10ttS
knowledge of the fur seal industry that
he was especially designated by con-
gress to visit Alaska and make a report
on the subject. The agents of the fur
seal companies who enjoyed the privil-
eyes about the Islands of st. George
and st. Paul, made representations that
there were l 1000, 900 seals in the Ameri-
can rookeries. Other reports have
placed the number at SOC, 600 and still
others at o lesser number. All these re-
ports are conflicting, and. being made
by parties more or less interested, in
duced congress to send Professor Elliott
not over 100, 900 seals have survived the
war of determination will, it is believed,
call a halt in their destruction, and his
Recommendation that the catch be sus-
pended for seven years, will doubtless
be acquiesced in by congress.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-Nearly every
train arriving from the West brings to
the capital n or more members Of the
Fifty-frst congress, the last session of
which will convene on Monday next.
BY the middle Of this week the Capital
City will have settled itself for the usual

ton bills. The indications warrant the
the assertion that the pension appro-
priation bill will be the most earnestly
debated measure. owing to the enor-
nous proportions it is reaching.
Will Try Hard for Free Coinage.
The silver men are determined if DOS
slble to force through a free coinage bill.
They are strongly impressed with their
ability to accomplish the work i'll the
senate where they will have the assist
ance of the now senators from Idaho,
Montana and Wyoming. There will
not be sufficient strength, however, to
carry such a bill over a presidential
veto, which is almost certain to follow
its passage; although someo of the strong
est adherents to free coinage express the
belief that the president will not antag-
onize such a measure after giving it ma
lure consideration. The recent Demo-
cratic success, it is claimed, will figure
greatly to their advantage.
Apportlonment aud Election Bills.
Representative Lodge, of Massachu-
sets, is of the opinion that the house
will certainly pass an apportionment
bill and that the senate will complete
the work of the majority by passing the
election bill. Mr.. Lodge also ventures
the opinion that IF the Democrats get
an extra session next spring it will be
the beginning Of the end for them" He
thinks Mr.. Mills will win the speaker

tain this opinion. The announcement
that q strong lobby is on its way to
Washington with n view to secure the

Disfranchisemcnt of the Mormons
has created quite a commotion in polit-
ical circles. There are two bills now
pending in the respective houses which
propose to take the privileges of the
franchise from amy person aiding, abet-
ting orcountenancing polygamy, or who
may be attached to amy Institution that
does. Friends of the Mormons hold that
to pass either of these measures would
be very unjust, as the Mormon church
has sincerely acknowledged allegiance
to the laws of the United States. 1t
does not appear. however, that there
will be any time for the consideration of
such bills during this session.

The cost of production will show the

What will the COW do on the chcapcst

GEESE RAISING.

Many persons, after having decided 10
try their hand at geese raising, purchase
Il few mongrcls of light weight, ut mar
kct prices, Instead of sending to u rclia-
bic breeder and getting first class stock
at a PRICE that would seem cxhorbitant to
them. an exchange says this is n mis-
take, and one that must inevitably follow
through the whole course. The five or
more pounds that the wcll-brcd goose out
weighs tho common goose will show itself
in every. gosling reared and will make an
enormous difference in the receipt.
The main thought to be kept in mind
is the worthlessncss of the articles of food
i'll which geese delight and which COM
prises, Tor great part, things wasted and
at the most of little value Cabbage.
turnips, potatoes, aud all other kinds OF
vegetables and grasses form their staple
food, with only sufficient grain to give Il
variety. They are distinctly. a srazinr
poultry, and will keep the grass
as close us n flock of sheep. The
value of their manure upon orn-out
pasture must also not be lost sight of, rs
it is rich in amount, and, for this reason
geese would seem to rival sheep for ben
citing many parts of our country. The
fe"thcrs arc discovery valuable, us the so.
called live geese feathers are worth us
high rs eighty cents per pound. Geese
arc pluckcd by some once in month or
six weeks. While should not advocate
il as often as this, yet they may certainly
be pluckcd once or twice Il year and he
beuciitcd by it, MS thcprocess of Noting
is facilitated. The only prccaution to be
taken is that no blood is drawn with the
feathers. If the quilts contain blood it
may bc inferred that the feathers are moi
in ripe condition and on no account
must they bc disturbed. 1t will be found
in largo flock of geese, as IN one of
hens, that all the members do no, mott
nj one stated time, but vary some weeks,
SO that they should be pluckcd at different
periods, when the feathers arc in the
