THEIR HOPES ARE Low.
Victoria Sealers Nearly All ShOW Balances
on the Wrong Side.

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 20.-ThOugh all
hope has not yet been abandoned. there are
few among the sealing men who now ex-
pect to see the schooner Maggie Mac return
from the dangers which beset the hunting
grounds for which she shaped her course
early in the spring.
Poor Dodd," is the common remark
among those who knew her hearty skipper
best. ''if he were still above land or water
we'd have he ard from him in some way be-
fore this" So the fate of the Maggie Mac
is talked of as an unexplainable mystery
which the silent sea alone might solve.
OF the other vessels of the fleet the last
is now in port and accounted for and the
total results for the year are therefore OBJ
taina ble and these results are far from sat-
isfactory, for, apart from the losses conse-
quent upon the exclusion from Boring sea,
considerable money has been sacrificed by
the Coguilam's seizure and the expensive
litigation in connection herewith.
The Russians have seized or driven away
the sehooners seeking the Copper Island
side, and. to crown the series of misfortunes
the heavy fogs have seriously interfered
with the work of the hunters.
Few of the sealing men have made money,
and the majority have to face an unpleas-
ant balance on the wrong side of tie books.
According to the official reports at the
Custom-hoUse. which will shortly be for
warded to Ottawa, sixty-fve British Co.
umbia schooners have cleared for the
sealing grounds this season, their crews
including 952 white men and 491 Indians.
The schooners carried 273 boats and $50
hunting canoes, and the result of their
seasons operations aggregate on the lower
coast 45I9 skins, on the upper coast "a, 52S,
on the Asiatic side 1906, by Indians (cas-
uaD 1900, making total of As, 412 skins.
In addition to the above the American
schooners Willard Ainsworth, Anaconda,
Matte I. Dyer. City of San Diego and
Casco have brought 1891 skins 10 this port
taken ON the lower, 2056 on the upper and
1924 on the Asiatic coasts.
The Casco's catch for the season was one
seal, taken on the California coast, but then
she is supposed to have cleared consider
able in less legitimate operations, SO her
owners are not sad.
OTTAWA. Ont. Oct 20.-The secretary Of
the Sealers' Association of British Column
bia telegraphS to-day that 1t Is estimated
that the total seal catch of the British Column
bia sealers will be about A., 900 skins, w hich,
compared with the catch Of last year, shows
a falling off of Is per cent.
The average haul of skins during the sea-
son is placed at S11 skin, against an aver
age of Sl5 last year, which will cause a
reduction Of something in the neighborhood
OF 81 per cent in the aggregate value OF the
total catch this year.
With the exception OF the schooner Maggie
Mac all the sealing fleet has returned to
British Columbia. The schooner is beliey ed
to have been lost at sea.

NEW York, Oct. 20.-General Martin L.
Mcmahon has served a formal notice on the
Tammany Hall leaders that II General
Daniel F. Sickles, the candidate for Con-
gress In the Tenth District, fails to file his
resignation as a retired officer OF the United
States army before election. he will do all
in his power to defeat the Gettysburg hero's
election.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Dlfferent opinions
are expressed here as to General Sickles'
eligibility TO a seat in Congress, and many
army officers are interested in the solution
of the question. In an opinion given in 1877,
Attorney General Devens held that re-
tired officer OF the army does not vacate his
commission by accepting a civil office. I'M
less it be an Office In the diplomatic and
consular service. This decision applies to
all civil offices, including those within the
gift of State or municipality. The general
opinion is that in the case of a representa-
tive in Congress, the constitution makes an
army officer, active or retired. ineligible,
unless he surrenders his commission.
Register Rosecrans OF the United States
Treasury, who is retired army officer,
says that General Sickles or any other gen.
eral who Is on the retired list and who sets
up claim that he is not an officer of the
United States is very far from correct in
his conclusions.
1.-The constitutional provision on which
the controversy hangs" said General Rose
Grams, "is very plain. In section 9. article !,
il is stated that no person holding any
Office under the United States shall be a
member of either House during his con-
tnuance in Office.
General Sickles claims that h5 does not
hold an Office; that he simply holds rank
and draws his salary. Section 1856 OF the
Revised Statutes says: Officers retired
from active service shall be entitled to wear
the uniform of rank on which they may be
retired. They shall continue TO be borne
on the army register and shall be subject TO
rules and articles Of war and to trial
by general eourt-martial fer any breach
thereof Would the law provide for a
trial by a court-martlal OF any one not an
officer of the United States?" Which
means that General Rasecrans believes that
General Sickles cannot be a member OF
Congress and remain on the retired list of
the army.
1t will be observed that in General Rose
Grams view the prohibition respecting re-
tired army officers extends only TO seats in
Congress. General R0secraDs does not
think that place on the retired list dis
Office.
lie said TO CALL correspondent that the
United States Supreme Court had recently
decided that the retired pay was in the
nature of a pension and that retired officers
OF the army were not subject to orders
from the President unless they expressly
volunteered for service.
