AVALON, Santa Catalina, July 49,
One of the most attractive spots on
this island is Seal Rock. 1t is visited
by nearly everyone who comes here and
has done more, toward making Cata-
lima known than any other one attrac-
ton she possesses. The herd Of seals
which make this rocky point a head
quarters, numbers fully 200, and go
tame have they become, that one can
approach very close to them in boat.
Parties who visited the point within the
past few days have noticed number OF
dead seals, and the fact has been devel-
oped that the fishermen have started in
TO exterminate the seals. One Italian
killed twenty several days ago and if the
slaughter is kept up at that rate, it will
not take long to accomplish their purpose.
The Wilmington Transportion company,
has decided to prevent the destruction
OF these creatures if possible. The seals
in San Francisco bay are protected by
law, and If the statute includes this ISL
and the violators will be vigorously
prosecuted.

john Fiske, as a LawYer.

After taking the college course at Har-
ward, John Fiske entered the law school
and graduated therefrom at the age of %,
taking the degree of L. L. B. He hired an
office and appeared punctually at his desk
for six months, but it must be confessed
he spent most of his time, not in the courts
but in writing articles for the magazines.
Finally a share in a case came into his
hands and he says he felt exceedingly
fraudulent for receiving 500 for putting
easy questions to a witness for a space Of
two hours. At length much better case
knocked at his door. The friend who
brought it had his elatiOn dampened when
Fiske expressed a roget that the case would
interrupt the preparation of an article on
the Laws of History, which he was writing
for the FOrtnightly Review. The friend
hotly declared that prideless lawyer who
would quarrel with a good case when it
came to him did not deserve to succeed,
and was unfit for the profession. And up
on due reflection Fiske concluded that es-
pecially on the last point his friend was
right, so he went into the somewhat pre-
earious business of writing articles for a
living. 1t is fortunate for the scholarship
of the world that he followed his bent in
this direction. His writings are such that
in this age of thought the world will not
willingly let die. All of his works are re-
garded by scholars as having a standing
accorded to but few writers in our penpro-
life age.

MAY ACCEPT
A Movement on Foot to Nom
mate Him.

The Secretary Believed to Have
Consented to be the Candidate.
Ex-Speaker Reeds Hostility To-
ward President Harrison.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 2O.-It is stated
here tonight that within the past twenty
four hours Secretary Blaine has indicated
that he would accept the nomination at
Minneapolis. 1t is claimed that a delega-
ton of prominent republicans called upon
him at his residence, and that during the
conference that ensued, Mrs. Blaine was
present. 1t was pointed out to Mr. Blaine
that it would be unsafe to renominate
President Harrison, and that it was his
duty to the republican party to stand as
its candidate in this campaign. After a
deal Of talking had been done Mr.. Blaine,
with the approval of Mrs. Blaine, informed
Senator Mcmillan of Michigan, who was
one of those present, that he would feel it
his duty to his party, under the present
circumstances, to accept the nomination if
it should be rendered him.
Ex-Speaker Reed is practically out of the
presidential contest. 1t is now believed
that the ponderOus Maine statesman
recognizes the fact that the Plumed Knight
is the most popular living American, and
that if he will accept the nomination it is
his without doubt. Reed would rather see
Blaine nominated than Harrison any day,
and is willing to withdraw all opposition
to Blaine's candidacy. In this connection
Reed worked off one of his sarcastic and
humorous filings today. He turned around
in his seat and handed Houghton, of
/ VTnnrN rnufrn Ioffn I.n InA -~a.l
from a constituent in Maine. HOughtOn
read the letter, and in substance it
advised Reed that it was foolish for
him to any longer think that he
could secure the presidential nomination
this year, and that it would be more polite
for him to get on to the Harrison band
wagon, "for, " states the writer, "he is sure
to be nominated at Minneapolis" Then
Reed handed HOughton his reply to the
letter. The answer was brief and to the
point. He said: Il do not consider it pol
itic to withdraw my opposition to Harri-
son. As for getting on the Harrison band
wagon, want to say to you that the presi-
dent has no such vehicle. His wagon is
an ice-wagon." 1t is stated by those who
know Reed that he has made up his mind
that Blaine can secure the nomination,
and the chances are ten to one that he will
be nominated
CHICAGO, May 20.-A special from Wash
ington City to a morning paper says: Tom
Platt has received assurances that James
G. Blaine will accept the nomination for
the presidency if offered him. The exact
nature of the assurances cannot be learned.
1t is known, however, that they are per-
fectly satisfactory to Platt, and that Clark
son, Alger, Fasset, and others who had the
conference at Detroit yesterday discussed
them and expressed themselves in private
as being satisfied with them.

STOCKTON, Gala, May 20.--Frank Host
Ter, bartender, was shot and killed this
morning by Ivy Clements, young woman
with whom he had been living. She ac-
knowledged the crime on being taken into
custody, and said she shot Hostler because
he was going to leave her. Hostler's par
ents live in Spokane and it is said he is
wealthy.
Mrs. Mullon, landlady of the Cricket
lodging house, states that Hostler passed
her on the stairs this morning whistling,
and had stopped to say how happy he was
because business was good. He then
went directly to his room, where Ivy was
playing a piano. FIVE minutes later
shots were fired. Ivy left her room,
and Mrs Mullon meeting her in
the hall asked what the matter
was, she replied 81 have killed Frank"
81 told him if he left me l would and I
have" Hostler on entering the room
threw his coat on the bed and sat on the
rocker when the woman, without warning
turned from the piano and taking Smith
and Wesson revolver from beneath
her coat, fired two shots into
him. His face was blackened by
powder. He fell to the floor with the chair
on top Of him, and died without a struggle.
Iva threw the weapon among some clothes
on the bed where it was found by Cor
oner Clark. Hostler was about 35 years
of age. Ivy Clement is reported to have
been in shooting scrape before, and her
father then expended large sums to keep
her from prison. He lives in Oakland.

Will ABANDON THE TUNNEL.
The Action in the Portland a. Pnget
Sound Right-Of-WaY.

Two injunction suits have been brought
to restrain the Olympia Light & Power
company from building over the located
line of the Portland s. Puget Sound Rail-
road company at the point where the latter
commenced its tunnel The first suit was
voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff, be-
cause of error in the description of the
property contained in its complaint.
In the second suit defendant demurred
to the complaint and moved to dissolve the
injunction. The demurrer was over
ruled, the motion denied, and plaintiff
was given until 10 am. of May II, to fur
nish S10,000.00 bond. Parties in Olym-
pia had been instructed to furnish the bond
by bank in Portland, and had agreed to
do so. After banking hours, May 16, they
refused to furnish the bond and the
plaintiff was unable to arrange for another
bond within the time set by the court, con-
sequently, the restraining order became in
operative for lack of bond.
The plaintiff intended if it built its line
by way Of Olympia to abandon the tunuel
and make an open cut, and desired that
the street railway be compelled to pay the
additional cost of constructing such a
bridge as would be necessary for street
railway purposes, over and above the cost
of bridge for ordinary county travel.

A Little TOO Narrow.

The Electric Light & Power company is
pushing the construction Of its track from
the south end of Main street to Tumwater
with energy. At the point where the track
passes the excavation for the Union Pacific
tunnel, the width of roadway left for the
public is far too little. There is not room
for two wagons to pass each other and this
is where the roadway is on the very edge of
the tunnel cutting. By making a very
slight curve at this poiut, ample space
change is made it is safe to say that CON
siderable inconvenience will be felt by the
public, especially when funerals are pass
ing, and that sooner or later a serious ac-
cident will be caused.

FLOOD DISASTERS.
The Rising Waters Threaten Fur
ther Destruction.

Reports of Loss of Life and Proper
~ in the Flooded District-IO,-
900 People in 81. Louis without
/ shelter.
ST. LOUIS, May 2O.-The weather reports
indicate that a rise Of three feet is coming
down the Mississippi and Missouri rivers.
This will cause the river here to rise at
least one foot within several days This
means that the entire country from here to
New Orleans will be flooded, as the levees
will not be able to stand so great body of
water.
Madison, ILL.,, a town of 500 inhabitants,
was swept away by food this afternoon,
caused by the breaking of the Chicago &
Alton embankment. East St. Louis is
now the only town in the American bot
tom not completely under water. The rise
on the way will inundate it. A mass
meeting has been called in the merchants
exchange for tomorrow afternoon to raise
funds to aid the flooded sufferers
For twenty miles around st. Louis
twenty square miles Of land is under
water. Fully 10000 people are without
shelter In this city over 10000 people
have been thrown out of work by the fac
tories being inundated. Over 10000 head
of cattle have been drowned. The loss
will aggregate millions of dollars.
As long ago as last Monday the levees pro-
tecting East Carondolet broke and almost
swept that town from the face of the earth.
1t broke at IL 40 PM, and in ten minutes
there were four feet of water in every house.
Many houses were carried away, but de-
spite the Observation-Disclosures far as
known, no lives were lost. The true state
of affairs was not learned on this side of
the river until last night. Today no aid
could be sent across because of the high
winds, but tomorrow an effort will be made
to aid the 300 or more people now in the
second stories or on the roofs of their
flooded dwellings. The railroad situation
is one more degree worse tonight. The
Vandalia tracks are washed out for 1000
feet, and only the Ohio & Mississippi is
now unharmed.
Sioux CITY, May 2O.-According to the
last kilograms the flood is more disastrous
than at first anticipated. The estimate as
to the loss Of life varies from 60 to 100. No
list of the total loss can be given. In fact
the terrorized people have sought refuge
in so many quarters that it is impossible
to exactly judge what number is on the
death roll.
