That is precisely the situation Of the
eoals. The herd-therc is only one
leaves the Pribylov Islands about No
vember 10 each year, to spend the win
Ter in warmer waters. Passing south
ward through the Aleutian chain aud out
of Be!ing Sea, the animals swim in n
southcasterly direction, toward Santa
Barbara, about 400 miles south OF San
Francisco, on the Pacific coast. There
they turn and go northwaTd nearly IA
million strong-hugging the coast, past
southern shore of Alaska into Bering
Sea, reaching the Pribylov Islands again
by July 10. Upon those lonely rocks
they breed and nurse their young for four
months, at the end of which time the pups
are weaned and big enough to accompany
the annual migration. The track they
follow is never varied from, and each
week in the year finds them at the same
stage OF their route, so that no difficulty
in discovering the herd is experienced
by the hunters, who pursue the poor
beasts relentlessly month after month,
killing, killing, killing-until they get
back into Bering Sea again and are safe
fer "a while. No present project for
putting stop to this is entertained. The
modus vivendi and the seizures of vessels
have merely related to the exclusion of
the pelagic sealers from Bering Sea
itself, where they are anxious to go and
wipe out the whole breeding herd while
it is assembled on two small islands, thus
making an end of the species at once

Some very interesting points may be
mentioned respecting the extraordinary
business of pelagic sealing. Fer the pur.
suit of this industry small schooners of
from forty to sixty tons are equipped.
Each such vessel starts out on u voyage
with three or four months provisions, a
quantity of salt, u supply of repeating
rifles, and fifteen or twenty men. Usually
the crew includes few Indians from
Vancouver's Island and Neeah Bay,
Washington. The schooner sails out into
the path of the herd of seals. She has
no trouble in discovering when the right
point is reached, by the popping up on
all sides in the water OF the animals
heads. Then she lies too, unless the
weather is too rough, and lowers into
the sea number Of small dories.
Each boat is occupied by two men.
One of them sits in the bow, with Win

"The Huntington convention" said
Captain b B. Doyener yesterday even.
iug, twas the finest one I ever saw. 1
never did see such a convention. It
was most noteworthy not only in point
of numbers and enthusiasm, but for the
uuanimity and the determination the
delegates showed, to nominate a good
ticket. They were there for considers
ton. All personal and private feelings
seemed to be subjected to the desire to
nominate the best men. They were
there to nominate the ticket to win,
with the intention to go lone and work
for it They had the n single
purpose, to consult the best interests of
the Republican party; they were deter
mined to nominate men, against whom
there could be no objection whatever.
They wanted clean, pure men, knowing
that every Republican would vote for
mon Of that kind.
"Every man on the ticket is a good
man. The candidate for governor. Mi.
Davis, is q business man Of the greatest
integrity. He Is living within fifteen
miles of the place where he was born,
and has the respect OF all his neighbors,
and those who know him best respect
him the most He has made a success
OF his own affairs, and one who does
that is a good man to manage yours.
az never saw more general satisfac-
ton, enthusiasm and good feeling, than
over the result of the Huntington con-
vention. Everybody in the party is
we'll pleased and confident Of the suc-
cess Of the whole ticket"

spokeat Parkersburg and Wileyville, in
Wetzel county. He was especially
pleased with the big ratification meet
ing at Parkersburg, He was at Wiley
vile on Saturday, the day the republi-
can county convention met, and spoke
there two hours. The town is four
teen miles from q railroad, New Mar
tinsyille being the nearest railroad
station. To Wileyyille and back was a
