In relation to the condition of the seal rock

the full and exhaustive manner in which the
subject is treated in your report of this year:
and also in view OF the forthcoming report Of
Prof. II. w. Elliot, who was sent by the depart

condition Of seal life upon this and the island Of

that OF my associate g to the deplorable con-
dition OF the seal grounds upon this island.
The large grass-grown areas of these grounds,
until comparatively recent period, occupied
en- nasse by seals to be numbered by the mil
lions, and now wholly deserted, the driving and
redriving from all of the hauling grounds on

You say in your report as to the past, present,

The resignation Of Chief of Police Nom
roe has been accepted By the Police Com-
missioners. and Bolton Rogers, until re-
Gently chief Of detectives. has been chosen
in his stead. The resignation Of Chief
Monroe has been pending for some time,
the Commissioners being loath to accept
it, but it has recently been apparent that
decisive action, one way or another, could
not much longer be deferred. The change
is not. therefore, altogether a surprise.
While Chief Rogers is not the choice of
the Posr-ISrELLrGEscER, it is inclined to
allow his administration Of the police de-
partment to speak for him. That he has
the ability to make a good chief Of police,
that he possesses special qualifications for
the position, is generally understood. He
has had long experience in police affairs
and his official record has been good. He
was warmly Endorsed by many citizens
who unquestionably have the good of the
city at heart.
On the other hand, Mr.. Rogers candi-
dacy has met with strong opposition.
The Police Commissioners, weighing both
the opposition to his candidacy and the
support which he received, have seen fit to
give him the position which he sought.
The justification Of the Commissioners.
and of those who supported him, rests
with Chief Rogers himself. The people
viii watch his course closely, and upon
his administration of his department viii
depend their judgment.
The Posr-IsrEELToENcER is satisfied that
the Police Commissioners desire thor
ough and intelligent enforcement of the
laws. It believes that they desire to sup
press gambling and the kindred vices, so
far as it is possible to do so. and to hold
the criminal classes in that restraint which
is necessary in all well-ordered commune
ties. 1t believes them to be earnest and
sincere in their desire to promote the
welfare of the city. II Chief Rogers intel
ligently enforces such policy as the Com
missioners will outline, he will merit and
receive popular support. AS has been
said, his success or failure a. an officer de-
pends upon himself alone. and the PosT-
IxrELLIGExcER will withhold comment
until it is able to Judge him by the man
ner in which he fills his responsible posi-
ton.

Coal Mining in Warrington.
From q repe,,s pu1lo<;r

The mining OF coal in the state of Washington
began about the year lS50-'5l in the field In the
vicinity OF Bellingham bay, In the extreme
northwestern part Of the territory, but opera
tons there were discontinued in 1879, and have
not been resumed Several important coal areas
have since been opened up both on the western
and eastern slopes of the Cascade range the
most important Of which are in the vicinity of
Puget sound, in King, Pierce and Thurston
counties, ana in Yakima county, near the At
tanam RIVER. ontcroppings have been found in
other localities. notably at Ellensburg, and in
Lincoln and Spokane counties aud also in White
Salmon river In Cascade county. The Goals OF this
state embrace Ignite, semi-bituminous, aud
bituminous varieties, adapted for coking gas,
steam, and domestic purposes. Some specimens
OF very fine grade of coal resembling anthra-
cite are reported IS having been taken from
Cowlitz pass, in Yakima county. The total area
OF the coal deposits OF Washington has not vet
been fully determined, but there is no doubt
that almost inexhaustible supplies are at hand.

THE Alliance thinks it is not question
OF whether man goes home drunk or not.
but whether he has any home TO go to.
1t wants to look aites u mans physical

son Of Kansas treated the prohibition
question at Boston the other day. But
from the other side the question might
well be asked whether the habit of drunk.
enness might not have something to do
with the mans having no home To go to.

moral regeneration might not in many in.

and commenced mixing with the outside
world he has materially modified many of
his opinions.

Of the Coast. is . largo aud profitable con-
sumner Of California products, which arc
well protected against competition from
our near neighbors Of British Columbia.
But the people nor the press Of this state
have not complained on this account.
They are in favor of protection to Ameri-
can products and American industries,
and have been willing to submit to what
ever might be their fair share Of the cost
of maintaining that principle. But If
California should insist upon Withdrawing
protection from Washington coal, and the
repeal of the coal tariff should be accom-
plished by the votes Of California's repre-
sentatives, there may be reaction in this
state against protection to California
products of which we are heavy con-
sumers. It is poor rule that won't work
both WAYS.

the pluck, as the German government has
the determination, to take care of their
own railroads. l am willing, yea, would
be glad, to let the state control the rail-

the state would do it right away" It's

the Chicago and Alton railroad talked the

NIT a comprehensive plan by which the

The Ind ustries Of Southern Alaska.
Erov, consus Rufieffn

On entering the territory Of Alaska at its
southern boundary there Is found densety-
wooded region extending over the large islands
OF RaviIla Gigedo and Prince OF Wales ana few
similar outlying groups of islands. The eleva-
ton OF these islands does not exceed from 5000
to 1000 feet. rising gradually from the seashore.
The first evidence Of industrial progress to strike
the eye Is the salmon sailing establishment near
Fort Tongass, which has been In existence for
six or seven years. Close by Is an Indian settle
ment, the inhabitants Of which furnish the
labor for the saltery during the fishing season,
at other times OF the year engaged In hunting
the seal in the water and tho deer on land, the
latter small kind of red deer peculiar to this
section of Alaska On these islands, as well a.
on the adjacent mainland, there are groves Of
yellow cedar, but they have not thus far been
utilized. Proceeding northward from Tongass,
another fishing establishment is found on Tom
gass narrows, 1t . settlement called Kichikan-
Here also native labor is utilized, consisting
chiefly Of men and women from the
Tongass settlement. Still further northward.
on Reyilla Gigedo island, we find Naha
bay, with the canning establishment at Loring.
Here the annual pack of the last three years has
been about % coo cases, the labor employed con-
sisting of Chinese and white fishermen, who
return to California at the end Of the season.
An extensive trade In furS Is also carried on
here with the native tribes Of these and the sd
jaccnt islands, and q large number OF dee skins
are purchased for shipment to California tan
neries. From figures obtained at the various
custom houses, it appears that the number OF
deer skins shipped from this section during the
year 1850 footed up 3S,652 These skins were OBJ
tanned from the Indians In trade at cost Of =
cents each, or about the equivalent Of q can OF
meat, four pounds of sugar, or three yards Of
calico. and were sold for about 80 cents each in
san Francisco. Where such numbers are
brought to one or two small trading posts It
must necessarily be estimated that large bro
portion OF them were procured for sale only,
and that the meat OF the animal was wasted.
On the channel which separates this island from
the mainland, called the Benin canal, two other
canning establishments are located one at Bur-
rough's bay, near Cape Lee, and the other at

How a German Baby Is swathed.

OF all housewives in Europe, prob
ably the German is the hardest worked.
and of all European mothers the Ger
man practices most completely the art
OF swathing and padding her baby and
OF putting it on the shelf. The Ger
man baby is swaddled in a long, mar
row pillow, which is made to meet COM
pletely round him, being tucked up
over his feet and turned under his
solemn chin. Three bands of gay blue
ribbons are then passed round the
whole bundle and tied in large, ford
bows about where his chest, his waist
and his ankles may be supposed to be.
In this guise he can be deposited as
an ornament either on the summons
best bed, or on the kitchen dresser. or
on the drawing room table. How fond
the Germans are of this presentment of
baby may be guessed from the fact
that it figures largely in their picture
