Little In the Market and the Supply Grow
Ing Snlhller-An Old salts View.
There il q remarkable scarcity of
w~halebone in the market at present,
and In consequence The poorest quail
ties are being disposed of at prices hero
tofore hardly ever realized for the best
that the hardy New Bedford men could
procure. Parts Of bones usually dis
carded a few years age are now q staple
article and find ready purchasers Among
manufacturers.
What little bond OF first quality is
placed upon the market is sold at
prices which will astonish persons not
familiar with the trade. A well-known
Pearl street firm disposed of several
thousand pounds several days ago, says
the New York Herald, at $500 IA pound,
and n similar figure has been realized
by dealers in Europe.
"Whalebone is getting scarcer every
season." said an old South street whale
ship boat steerer, IAN pretty soon there
won't be any at all. The blackfish,
humpbhcl1s and sperm whales, from
which most Of the bone is taken, don't
breed very fast. They are killed off
fnster than they breed, and in conse
qucnce it is only q question Of time
when they will be extcrminatcd alto
gether, and the humpback will he as
much q curiosity as the departed MANI
moth.
"Thsre's no more money in whaling
for sailors" he continued, nor for any
body Dut the big concerns what controls
a number Of these n~ewfangled steam
whalers. If you don't believe what l
say go to New Bedford. There you will
see lots of vessels, brave ships once, but
old hulks now, with their bones bleach
ing on the sands around the bay. They
were driven out of the business and the
sailors were driven out with them.
1.-THE whales got scarce, and three or
four per cent. on invested capital didn't
pay expenses to the owners of single
ships, SO they had to give up. Only II
few Of the old timers are left, and 1
guess they won't last much longer"

Gradually FAulnw Into Decay By the
W0HhlnEs OF Tropical Floods.
It is very sad-Ius the word advised.
ly-to see the present desolate condition

Nineteenth Century, and, as 1 have be-
fore said, the large quantity of
plant de~teriorating; also the num-
berless houses for lsborers may, VIII
lagos, sven), once teeming with human
life, and now empty and silent. If the
work had been completed and tri-
umphant these would only speak of
manly toll well directed by great fore
thought, care, skill and intelligencej of
q high courage that had warred against
q deadly climate and long and frequent
pestilences, and Of a perseverance and
energy that had resisted the ~enervating
and d~emoralizing effects Of life in a
tropical and often marshy jungle; till
all these had ~deservedly led to success.
But Alasi the true picture is far differ
emit About eighteen and a half miles of
the canal are actually cut to their full
width at the ocean level water line, and
for about half that distance the officials
assured me they had been dug down
to the full depth Of twenty-nine feet,
though, since the works ceased at
the end Of 1889, no doubt much
earth has been washed in again, OF
these eighteen and q half miles thirteen
and q half are at the Atlantic and five
ut the Pacific end. Inavigated all these
waters in steam or pulling boats, when
to the eye the canal in many ports ap-
peared rs il finished. OF the mighty
Culebrs cutting the least reduction in
height is about sixty feet, but in some
places 1t has been cut down for over one
hundred feet in depth. The course of
the canal Is marked out throughout it's
length, and, GENERALLY, 1 should say,
ting made, but the tropical vegetation is
quickly springing up, and railroad roll
ing stocknnd other plant" are in places
nearly hidden by jungle. The nearest
estimate I could form from visiting the
canal works and talking to the people
on the spot about the proportion of
work done was that as an approach to
the first intention-viz., an ocean level
canal-not more than one fifth was ac-
complished, leaving entirely out of con-
sideration the question of damming
and dealing with the Chagres river and
its loodss but that, supposing the lake
scheme were found quite feasible, the
result arrived at in 1880 might equal
one-third of the whole at the most IA
vorable estimate. But it must be re-
mcmbered that every month now the
canal works are going backward from
tho ordinary process of nature, which is
especially active in the topics.

Last winter has been very severe on cattle.
Great numbers have died from exposure and
starvation. This portion Of the territory would

vention OF Cruelty to Animals in which to
exercise Its authority. 1t is pititul to see the
poor lean kline tottering along, barely able to

not less from exposure, while their owners are
too lazy or mean 10 lay in a sufficient store of
hay for the poor beasts or 10 provide them with
shelter, although there is an abundance of tim
Der, ana few days labor would give the poor
beasts sheds.
Last winter n building owned By the Alaska
Commercial Company and used by native EN-
ployes OF the company as Il dwelling while
visiting Kodiak was entirely destroyed by ire
at night. The chief and second chief OF Aiog-
nak settlement were the sole inmates when the
fire broke out, ana the former was entirely con-
sumed by the flames. Both OF them, II seems,
were drunk AZ the time The second chief be-
came aware OF the fire first, and says that ho
tried very hard TO rouse his companion, but
that his efforts were unayailing. so he Lett him
10 his fate and, emitting 10 give the alarm, got
into his bidarxa and lett for Lesnoi settlement,
opposite KODIAK Although the whole trsnsse-
t;on looked very suspicious. the investigation of
the affair was extremely superficial.

An Oregon Murderer Escapes Prison
Blake,ev Wreck story Discredited.

VICTORIA, July 29.-[Special. THE story
of the wreck of the whaler Blakeley, ema.
mating from Port Townsend, and credited
to Chief Mate Hayden, must be taken with
considerable salt. Hayden came down
from the north on the sealing schooner
Ariel, July Il. and on his ar.
rival knew nothing of any wrecks.
His story then was that he left the Blake
ley in consequence of continued and sys-
tematic abuse of the crew by Captain Nc
Curly, whose real disposition was first
shown in his treatment of one of the men,
named Riley, who died at sea, and was
tossed over the side without even the pre-
tense of a ceremony.
