Presenre In This CITY or the Hero
James Reynolds.

Hon. James Reynolds Of New Haven.
Conn accompanied by Dennis 0'Reilly of
of Providence. was in the city yesterday on
q visit to e1-Msyor Carroll
Seventeen years ago James Reynolds
was comparatively a poor man, doing a
small business in the brass foundry line
He owned his own home, however, and
about that time the Irish Nationalists of
this country were raising funds for the
purchase Of the Cstslps for the purpose Of
being used in the rescue of the Irish polit.
icsl prisoners in Australia.
They had raised considerable money but
were short some $4,000, Mr.. Reynold
promptly offered to mortgage all his prop
erty and raise the money. His offer was
gratefully accepted ard the expedition
which proved to be successful, was at once
started.
Mr.. Reynolds has always held the conf.
dence Of the Irish Nstionalis.s of this
country. He has been honored by his fel.
low citizens in New Haven with many i'm.
portant positions of trust and honor, and is
at present overseer of the poor of the city
of New Haven, a position for which he 10
peculiarly fitted by his kindly disposition.
His many friends in this city were pleased
to greet the veteran Nationalist.
James Wilson, one Of the prisoners who
was rescued from Australia, is now a resi-
dent of Central Falls. Sometime ago the
TRIBUNE gave brief history of the re-
markable rescue of the men.
Mr.. Reynolds was the fnsncier of the
great undertaking. lie is man who says
but little but bis appearance creates q
deep impression. lie bears a remarkable
resemblance to the lat James Mulligan.

WEST POINT ACADEMY.
Many Important Changes Recommended
by the Board OF Visitors.

Many Important Changes Recommended
by the Board OF Visitors.
WASHINGTON, Oct. l2.-The secretary OF
war has received the report Of the board of
visitors to the military academy at West
Point The board inclines TO the belief
that an increase Ia the number Of cadcts
Is necessary Ia order to take full advantage
Of the capacity of the academy. and il
'favors the passage Of an act fixing the
strength Of the corps Of cadets AT a maxi
mum of 40. The board recommends that
Ia addition % the present allotment of one
cadet to each representa- i've aud delegate
in congress, two cadets be allotted to each
state at large, to be nominated by the sen
ators, and that the president be author
lied to nominate, from the country at large,
twenty. The report also suggests that
members Of congress should be required at
the proper time to nominate candidates TO
fill vacancies ut the academy, and failing
to do this, appointments should he
promptly made by the president from list
Of eligible candidates filed at the war de
partment.
Attention Is called to the fact that mem
bers are allowed 70 designate cadets only
by courtesy OF the president and not as a
right under the statut.s.
The report refers to the inef1lciency OF
the present preliminary examinations, as
shown by the failure to graduate Of more
than 30 per cent OF the cadets admitted
and sets forth plan for making these ex.
aminations more effective. The report
shows that under the c. mpetitive system
Of selecting candidates for appointment,
60 per cent. graduated aud 40 per cent.
failed to graduate, while OF those ap-
pointed directly only 42 per cent. gradu-
atsd and So per cent. failed. The board
condemns the practice Of flliHg the pro-
hssorships at the academy entirely with
army officers. The board directs atten.
tion TO the need Of modern ordnance for
the instruction OF the cadets. Among the
members Of the board are General Thee
8. Peck Of Burlington, VT. and Robert ..
Fuller OF Cambridge, Mass.

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
As 20 whether Seal Life Is on the De-
crease c-Cnnadian Poa"hers at Work.

As 20 Whether Seal Life Is on the DE.
crease Canadian Poa"hers at Work.
WAsHINGToN Oct. l2-The Information
which the government has received shows
that, notwithstanding tho precautions
taken to prevent the Illicit killing OF seals,
some 80, 900 seals will have been captured
during the last season by the Canadian
cruisers in the Behring sea. There Is one
aspect to this question which has popu
lar interest Experts are Of the opinion
that the catch has been so large that the
price Of sea skins, which are now quoted
Mt little over $l9. will dropat the October
sales to eli. so that there will be no fam
Inc In the price Of sealskins for the rich.
The indications are that there has been
little falling of rom last year In the mum
Der Of skins taken. Summing up the
estimates from all sources the catch Of the
North American company, of the Cana
dian fishermen and of the company which
has been taking seals in the Russian isl
ands this year, IL is concluded by tue gov
ernment officials here that the entire
catch Of the year will exceed l00,0 900 skins,
30 that there will be no fear OF u dearth Of
garments made from the fur OF the seal
during the coming year After that there
may be n greater scarcity Of seal skins IL
Russia shall join IN the modus vvendi
agreement.
There was strong difference Of opinion
among the experts who have visited Behr-
Ing sea this year rs to the question
whether or not seal life Is decreasing
Professor Mcndenball and Professor Mer.
riam, the experts sent by the United
States government to study that question
this summer, agree.th hat seal life is rapidly
decreasing, aud they ascrIbe this largely to
the pelagic sealing Of Canadian vessels
Sir George Baden Powell and DR. Dawson
the British commissioners, on the other
hand, described the seals as being plen
