enforced the Aleuts say that they viii
starve, as the pursuit of the sea otter has
been their chief means of support for over
hundred years. The settlement of this
question by the courts next October will
be anxIously awaited by hundreds of peo-
pie in the Aleutian islands for it is case
which affects them vitality. The names of
the vessels seized are the Jennie, Lettie
and Kodiak, belonging to the Alaska Com
mercial Company.
The fact of the matter is, however. that
the fur business of this portion Of Alaska
territory is on its last legs. 1t may be
possible by means of rigorous measures
and with the hearty cooperation of Eng
land to build up once more the depleted
rookeries in the Pribilof group and get the
fur seal industry again in tiourishing
condition. The islands are small and,
aside from the seals. possess not a single
thing which would induce people to settle
there; but along the Aleutian chain things
are different. There are immense fields
open for the building up of fishery estab-
Hshments, both salmon and cod. and away
out at Aka island species OF mackerel is
found which experts say is fully equal to
the famous Eastern variety. Besides this
the islands are full OF minerals, and when
prospectors realize the fact that the climate
is not Arctic, as is generally believed, but
Is as mild as that of Washington or

they have always gone before the march
OF progress. 1t may be that this will be
the happiest solution of the great problem
of life which day by day seems more
diff cult to the native, but in the mean
time their rights ought to be strictly
guarded. as they are without exception the
most supplemented. harmless beings one
can imagine possible to exist.
The following is a partial list of the
catches made by the different sealers so
far this season. Many other vessels were
boarded, but the number of seals secured

romantic love story, which leads to further
complications and exciting episodes. The
adventures of the lovers, their disappoint.

the story.
These two intermingling threads of the
plot furnish series of dramatic, pictur.

turn the story will take next. or what will
be the outcome OF the thrilling situations
which are developed.

AGAINST THE KENT BILL.

The action of the mass meeting at the
Commercial Association last night
against the Kent bill was as forcible as
it was timely. The main point of the
argument, clearly and truly put, was
that the very presence of the measure
in the legislature was menacing and
hurtful to the State.
Already its baneful influence is being
felt. Capitalists elsewhere are stand
ing aloof when Virginia railroad securi-
ties are offered, because they fear the
passage of tho Kent bill. The passage
of this odious measure would be para
Lying in its effects.
AS. Mr.. Watts stated last night, there
are already two many laws in Virginia
which have restrictive effect on the
introduction of capital. The lien law,
the collection laws, the exemption law,
the commercial preference law, the
usury law, all operate directly against
the interests they are supposed to guard.
Shall this last and worst act be per-
mitted to pass? 1t should be buried out
of sight in the house itself and it's very
existence forgotten.

McLaughlin's confirmation. 1t is un-
derstood that the objections were based
upon charges to the effect that Nc
Laughlin was not sound Republican;
that he was a barkeeper; Catholic,
and that he had failed to account for
some campaign money given him in

on the case, but there is little or no

A Social Literary and Religious Society at
the Station House.
The prisoners at the station house,
including the chain gang, have or
gained choral and debating society.
On Saturday night they had very in
teresting debate on the question, Which
is dearest to man, wife or mother? Tho
discussion became quite spirited and
some very original ideas were advanced.
Sunday night they held prayer meet
ing, and Barksdale, the negro who is
confined for shooting Pruitt, offered up
a fervent prayer of half an hours dura-
ton. He was followed by another negro
who also prayed and then the congrega-
ton sang couple of hymns. When
the prisoners awoke next morning
Barksdale again led in prayer. Last
night the society held another debate,
the question under discussion being
Which is the most useful to man, paper
or ink? and this was followed by con-
cert which was more or less enjoyed by
the people in the front part of the
station.

MORRIS TO PAY UP.

The ex Chief of Police to Settle with tho
City To-day.
Ex-Chief of Police M. G. Morris has
made arrangements to paw tho city it's
claim against him in full and will do so
to-day.
Mr.. Morris has claimed from the first
that he would settle dollar for dollar
and to do so he disposed of some OF his
property here in Roanoke. This was in
his wifes name. and yesterday sho
signed the deed which was executed
late in the afternoon. This settlement
includes the Ross money also, the total
amount being SO, OO5.
This announcement will be good news
to the friends of Mr.. Morris. They have
always claimed that it was merely care
lessness in his banking affairs and no
desire to defraud the city; that caused
the discrepancy, and that he used the
money for building his house without
really knowing whether it was his own
or the city's money that he was spend
ing. They also insisted that he would
take the first opportunity of refunding
this money and Mr.. Morris has proven
that their confidence was not misplaced.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES: AS
we have been informed that some in
quiry has been made as to our preferred
creditors in our schedule of assignment,
we ask permission to use your columns
as a measure to correct an erroneous
opinion which seems to prevail that our
preferred creditors are "too much III the

in our list are simply indorsers on notes
aggregating 81 100, on which wo had
borrowed money from the First National
Bank of this city, and which notes are
yet unpaid. We thought it nothing
more than right that innocent parties
who had been so kindly disposed TO-.
ward us, even though they do happen to

protected. We desire further to state
that we have made clean surrender of
our effects and earnestly hope and be-
lieve that no one may lose dollar by
