Indications That the Government Will Pro-
hibit seal-Hunting This Year.
CHICAGO, May A Washington special
says The outlook now is that close sea-
son will be declared by the United States
Government and the North American Com
pany will not have any eaten this year. If
it shuts out its own lessees the Government
may be counted on making short work of
seal -poachers, regardless of the feelings Of
the Canadians. But there is no ground on
which the British Government could refuse
to help in this work, and its cooperation
will be offered with the view of showing
that it is really in earnest in wanting to
prevent the destruction of the animals. An
international commission might also visit
the sealing waters to determine on what
should be done to save the seal-fsheres
pending arbitration. There will be no arbi-
tration, however, on the misleading grounds
sought to be laid down by Lord Salisbury.
The question of arbitration is out of sight
for the present and the only thing in view
is to prevent harm the coming season. The
North American Company is still fighting
for the exercise OF its privilege for "just one
season more" 1t is even willing that the
number of animals to be slaughtered should
be limited by Secretary Foster to $1,000.
Permission to kill 60,O00 this season would
mean a license for an unlimited slaughter
1t is well known that il the North American
Company gets a chance it will be almost inn
possible to limit the destruction. The
North American Company and all its rival
bidders for the lease made their bids with a
full knowledge that whoever got the lease
would take it subject to conditions Of the
seal-fsheries, which might make necessary
the stOppage OF sealing.

ACADEMY OF SCIENCE.

Interesting Papers Indian Hero

There was a good attendance last evening
at the meeting of the Academy of Science,
and the new hall was provided with seats
for the first time. The President read the
following applications for membership:
Professor D. S. Jordan, President of the
Stanford University; Professor c. H. Gill
bert, Professor w. II. Campbell, Professor
o. P. jenkins, DR.. j. G. BRANDS. Professor
Joseph Swayne, Professor II. B. Gale, Pro-
fessor c. T. Marks, Professor G.. NJ. Richard
son and Professor F. S. Fritz, all of the
same institution. E. j. Molera read an ex-
| tended obituary of the late ZibaneZ, a
distinguished scientist OF Spain. The
| President referred to the recent deaths OF
| Professor Joseph Leidy of Philadelphia, a
life member, Coll Deane, and OF Professor
| John LIE Conte, another life member. He
| appointed L. II. Hittell and j. f. HoughtOn
| committee To prepare brief memoirs for
| the society'S archives.
The first paper of the evening was read
| by G. Z. Rixford, on "SOme Indian Hero
| glyphics at Swansea, lnyo County, Cal.
| His account of these curious examples OF
| picture-carying on the rocks was illustrated
with some capital photographs, and his
paper, though brief. was received with
much favor.

known Norwegian explorer and traveller,

upon his wanderings among the cannibalS

almost virgin. He has already sent thirty

Several Men.
Those Who Would Like 10 Succeed The
Western Circuit Judge
Agent GOff Resigns His Position as Treas
ury Agent at Seal Islands Sen.
atOrial Seats.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Judge Dolph OF
Portland, Oregon, brother of Senator
DoIph, has filed his Endorsements at the De-
partmentof Justice to succeed Circuit Judge
Sawyer. This may be considered little
early to take such steps, but 1t is gossip here
that Judge Sawyer has decided to resign
just as soon as the President has disposed
of the work of appointing the nine Circuit
judges provided for at the last session to
relieve the Supreme Court. IL is said that
the Oregon delegation has decided to press
DolDh energetically, at least Mitchell and
Hermann will be active. Chief Justice
Blake of Montana is also candidate.
He has not filed his recommendations yet
but has had some correspondence about the
matter with Attorney General Miller. He
is getting ready to present his claims. 1t is
said he has the Montana Senators behind
him, and that he will receive from them
energetic support. This rather conflicts
with the report that United States District
Judge Noles of Montana will be pressed for
promotion, and it is believed that Nevada's
strength will be concentrated on United
States District Judge Hawley, but per-
sonally he will take no hand in the matter.
So far Washington and Idaho have not been
heard from. 1t is still believed that ex-
Representative Morrow is reasonably sure
of an appointment as one of the nine new
Circuit Judges the President will appoint.
In such event it is claimed that California
will not stand very good show to furnish
a man TO succeed Sawyer.
Secretary Foster to-day received the resig-
nation of Charles Goff as Special Treasury
Agent of the seal islands. 1t is said it will
be accepted and Golf given some other po-
Sltion equally as important and as Temuner-
atiYe. Secretary Foster said to-day that he
was perfectly satisfied with GoffS report,
which is strongly objected to by the North
American Seal Company, and the change
was not due to any distruSt he entertained
with respect to Golf. He regarded the mat
ter as very important one, where the Gov
ernment and the company were both inter-
eSted, and he wanted an abundance OF facts
and opinions on the situation, and so Will
send Colonel Williams of Wellington to
Alaska TO succeed GOff. Williams has been
in the Treasury service for fifteen years and
is an old-time friend Of the Secretary.
The Sergeant-at Arms of the Senate to-
day decided to give Senator Dixon the
seat vacated by Senator Edmunds. Senator
Saunders moves into Dixon's seat, and
Dubois Of Idaho gets the seat released by
Saunders. The Sergeant-at-Arms has a
letter from Senator-elect FELTON, asking for
seat near the Repu bliean eloak-r0om door.
The appeal of William Runyan. involving
land in the Oregon District, has been dis
missed by the attorneys for Runyan, render
ing departmental action unnecessary.

Only Five Are Awake.

Only FIVE nunquam dormios out of the

fresher of the two. There is not a great
deal of excitement in seeing five very slee py
men sitting or walking around hall, and

vigorous piano playing was appreciated by

The American Academy of Medicine at
to-day'S meeting was unanimous in condemns
ing the inertness of the public toward It's
own interests by negecting to demand better
qualified physicians. 1t encouraged the sac
rifle of personal interest among those edu-
Gators who had not already insisted upon,
national standard. and most emphatically
denied that difficulties of such nature
placed in the way of the young student was
hipdrance to his study of medicine or to the
community. Medicine was becoming
science which ought to be honOred. ana
though feeling sorrow for the individual the
academy was glad to lose the man who COM
mtted suicide because there 'was not no
room for no more doctors" The association
readopted the platform established last year
at Nashville.

A MONUMENT ORDERED.
a Hotel Clerk Made Heir to a Californian's
Estate

NEW YORK, May 4-Colonel A. A. Tut
tie, who is said to have been a commiSsary
in the Soldiers Home at Santa Monica, Cal,
for several years, registered at Smith Il Me-
NeiPs Hotel several days ago. There ne
was taken ill and was removed to the New
York Hospital, where he died a few days
ago. just before his death Tuttle told
Clerk Waddell of the hotel that he intended
TO MAKE nm MS heir. aud that his property
amounted to $500. The clerk protested
against this, and said that the moEey should
go to the mans relatives. After the old
mans death it was found that he had dis
posed of his property as he had proposed.
Word was telegraphed TO Santa Monica to
the ColonePs relatives, and a reply was re-
ceiyed to the effect that they would not be
responsible for his funeral expenses. They
sent a dispatch collect" at cost of 81 &C.
Waddeil determined that if it was not
proper that he should retain the stranger 5
money, he would ut least see that the rela-
tlves in the West got none of it. With this
plan in view he bought lot in cemetery
and gave an order for handsome moDu-
ment TO be erected thereon.

The QUEENS GOOD HEALTH.
Her Majesty Returned From GraSSe Greatly
ImpTOY6d-Patti ThGater.

New YORK, Msy 4.-Yates in his cable
gram to the Tribune from London says:
The Queen has been in the best possible
health for several months. and has returned
from GrasSe quite as well as she went there,
which is more ttan can be said OF many
members of the royal encourage, for colds,
sore throats and analogous ailments
were numerous among the party. DIR.
Reid, the Queens regular medical at
tendant, had a most anxious time, for
the maladieS WeSe of a nature to 1udi cate
unwholesome surroundings. The sanitary
arrangements at the Grand Hotel were un-
eXceptlOnable, but those of the town OF
Grasse were much the reverse, the drainage
system being Of the most primitive KIND.
Sir William Jenner was requested bY a
telegram from GrasSa to 20 to Windsor
TO meet the Queen on her arrival there, and
he reached the castle short time before her
Majesty. Sir William maintains constant
supervision over the Queens health,s and
was, no doubt, deemed desirable that he
should see her aud have a talk with DR..
Reid as soon al possible. 1t is remarkable
that although so many members of the royal
party were more or less alllng at Grasse,
yet the Queen was perfectly well all the tine
except for twenty-fOur hours. when she Was
suffering from cold, the result OF having
imprudently remained out driving after
Il
is believed, has cost the privy purse about
$4,000. The principal expenses were the
railroad Journeys between CherbOurg and
GraSse and the hotel bill, the first item in
the latter account being charge of 9120 a
day for the rent of the hOpse.
The drainage in " the Dukeries seems to
be in bad way, and, whether caused by
the fiat nature of the land in the northern
portion of Motifs or from the faulty system
that originally existed, or both combined,
the fact remains that the Dukes of Portland
and Newcastle and Lord Manyers have
spent small fortunes in renewing the sys-
TENS OF their respective places. The Duke
of Portland has just put an additional
100000 underground at Welbeck in the en-
deayor to prevent any repetition of fever
caused by defective drainage, which so un-
dermined the Duchess constitution that
she is only now recovering. Lord ManverS
had put like sum into his grounds at
TbOresby, and now the Duke of Newcastle
finds that he must spend a small fortune 10
insure safety for the present and future.
One remarkable fact is that two of these
houses are practically new, and the drain
age might reasonably be supposed to have
been perfect.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-As soon as th Q

Boston, Colonel Haynes in this city and
Colonel Mendell at San Francisco to prepare

subject of sites is giving the department
more trouble than the allotment of the
$750000 authorized by the recent Congress
for gun and mortar batteries at New York,
Boston and San Francisco, Hampton Roads
and Washington. Already the Secretary
has authorized the requirement of a plat of
fifty acres at Plum Island. New York Har-
bor. A piece OF land similar in dimensions
