RING AND MAT.
Amateur Athletes Who Have Lost Hear
and Stamina.

Amateur Athletes Who Have Lost Heart
and Stamina.
The Secretary of the Olympic Club, Mr.
Cation, was by no means in a pleasant
mood last evening when q representative of
THE CALL asked him how the wresters
and boxers who are booked to contest this
evening were getting on.
Mr.. Cation has worked hard and faith
fully to make the evenings entertainment
hrst-class IN every particular, and W hen any
OF the athletes appear at the last moment
with evasiye excuses for their nOnappear-
ance to exhibit according to agreement, the
genial and accommodative Secretary wakes
warm ana says many things which a man
in his position can be excused for.
1t appears that when the subject Of a
match wrestlers' and boxers night was
br0ached to tho athletes who perform in
the ring and on the mat the first brace of
celebrities" that appeared at the Secre-
tary's Office to further the scheme were
William HinZ, the boxer, and Gus Unger-
mann. the wrestler. These gentlemen were
matched respectively against Billy Ken
ealey and w. Haberley. At the last mo-
ment as previously stated, Ungermann and
HIM notified the club that 1t would be
utterly impossible for them to appear on
this occasion, Us they were suffering in
tensely from severe attacks Of 10 grippe.
Ungermann, who works in a brewery,
was seen yesterday. pitching barrels In a
manner that astonished a gentleman who
was under the impression that the wrestler
was battling with the foreign epidemic. On
further investigation it was found that
Ungermann was troubled only with an
attack Of heart failure, which is common
among athletes who are discouraged.
Hinz has also bad attack of heart failure
and his friends say that he is a decidedly
lucky man to catch the disease before he
had encountered the hard hitting mechanic,
Va m fn nh r,vNto ooft hi
exponent Of the manly art.
John Murray and Fred Britten are others
who avoided 'knobby" physioguomies by
sending in notices at the last moment that
the warm weather affected their constitu-
tions while training. and that 1t would be
utterly impossible for them to contest this
evening.
The club will, however. have good
nights entertainment. as there will be FIVE
contestants in the boxing and an equal num-
ber in the wrestling bouts.
A general meeting of the club will precede
the athletic entertainment.

The SEALI INDUSTRY.
Local Interests Not Likely to BE Affected

Local Interests Not Likely to BE Affected
by the Cruisers.
In view OF the extremely remote possI.
bility of an international difficulty on the
seal question, a CALL reporter was yester-
day detailed TO ascertain views of local rep
Iesentative merchants cognizant of all the
''ins" and ''outs" of the seal industry. The
result of the inquiries w8s not voluminous
or prolific, but it was interesting and pacific.
OF course the seal question Is several
years old. 1t has been chronic nightmare
for Salisbury. and it has not eased the slum-
bers Of Blaine.
'The United States Government has
warned OF a lot OF sea-poachers In Beriug
Sea during the past year." said local
dealer IN sealskins. There is no sort of
question that the United States revenue
steamers and wooden cruisers have inter-
fered with the piratical oper atiops of the
craft setting out from British Columbia
and the sound ports. l don't think there
will be the least trouble about the present
controversy with Great Britain.
"The seals ought to be protected as be-
longing to the American nation. AS to an
lndiscrlmInate killing Of seals. 1t ought not
to be tolerated.
Practically the killing of the seals in the
spring season means the taking of two lives
Tor one. Over 100000 seals were killed last
toria, u. G.

two steamers. The feet sets out about this

grounds in the North Pacific at the end OF
March or the beginning of April. As to the
breeding season il is proper to say that the
fur seal. as high class mammal, breeds
only at certain seasons Of the year. and pro-
duces only one pup seal. At this rate ex-
tinctlon will come quickly.

sion at Victoria.
VICTORIA, March THE Fishery Com
mission concluded its session i'm Victoria to-
day, when the evidence of NJ. T. Johnston
and Page was submitted for the considera-
tion Of the Commissioners. This testimony
gave rise TO little comment, but ii was seen
from the beginning that the people were
waiting for the storm to break and soon
matters came TO a climax, a scene ensuing
that altogether overshad0wed anything of
the previous days proceedings.
Soon after the evidence had been heard
Commissioner Higgins said that In moving
a request for the third time TO the commits

minister. he would ask Armstrong and Will
mot TO look at matters fairly. Ladner was
an honest, reliable witness, who had paid
his expenses to get TO the commission and
who had important new evidence TO submit
He pledged himself to keeping outside of
any old facts at all and would only touch on
new and most vitally important matter.
WilmOt and Armstrong refused at once to
hear Ladner again, and when told that they
had heard other witnesses favorable TO
their views six or seven times they
answered that it did not matter. Higgins
told them they were acting in a mean, dis
honorable way, and like children instead of
sensible men.
heard on new facts. and was peremptorly
refused and ordered to sit down. He would
not do this, and dared the Commissioners
to stop him. He then called their action
mean and contemptible and asked them to
be men for once and give fair play. He had
never in his life seen such actions on the
part of any commission. Instead of making
the inquiry full and open they were trying
TO shut out all evidence that did not prove
WilmotS misstatements In the blue books
last year.
Higgins said that he. for one would not
sign his name to any report of the commits
sion to Ottawa purporting to be a full and
open inquiry.
