OUR CORNER OF The SEA.

The profits of the seal industry to British
Columbia poachers are calculated at S175.-

of the Second season under the modus-
vivendi arrangement. The United States
has been at considerable trouble to patrol
the seal grounds, but we might as we'll
have let the sealers have their own way
1t makes little difference whether the
specie is exterminated in one year or in
FIVE. That promiscuous sealing will ex-
terminate it in short time has been gen.
orally admitted. Under the decision of
the Paris arbitrators there is space sixty
miles from the islands upon which the seals
make their home, ON which it is not lawful
TO kill seals. 1t is also provided that seals
shall not be shot. Aside from these con-

year without even this imaginary danger
of patrol. The seals are found several

Sixty miles of this several hundred is
declared under United States jurisdic-

prove that they were within thu sixty

will be hard thing to do. In respect to

THE GREAT JOURNAL is I'M
PERSONAL.

lola, the French novelist, recently at
tended the annual conference of the InstI-
tute of Journalists in London and read a
paper on anonymity in journalism. He
Gwelt upon the curious differences be-
tween the French and English press.
Anonymity, great political influence and
wealth are the characteristics of the prin-
cipal English journals. Individualism,
personal literary fame, fuctuating for
tunes and variable influence in politics are
the characteristics of the French journals,
MANY of which appear, as it were. in the
morning and vanish from poverty or nom
success in the evening. The opinion of
NJ lola was that the power Of great
journal is best sustained by anonymity.
The ablest talents of mind are drafted
into grooves of writing that form an indi-
vdualism of the journal itself. which
speaks as an existence having character.
honor, ambitions and purpose in public
affairs, and on all topics of the day
which possess interest. however small, for
the multitude. The unheralded writer
merges his personality in the paper. He
represents the collective opinion of many
minds engaged in common in shaping a
policy.
There is a distinct advantage In I'M
signed articles from the fact that the
writer ceases to identify,hs own individual
opinions with his criticism and thinks Of
his paper as an exponent of policy, whether
that be Independent or bound to party.
When a writer signs his name to a politi-
cal article the public naturally say. shat
is John Smiths opinion, and who is John
Smith ?" A lawyer does not plead as an
individual, but as the representative of &
client; nor does judge decide by what he
feels. but by the law, acc riding to the
clearest Interpretation he can put upon it.
The stability and influence of news
paper are considerably affected by CON-
mercal success. In England the most in
fluential journals earn large profits from
advertising alone, and this success enables
them to be independent in the pursuit OF
uniform policy. In France advertising is
meager and the journals stoop TO the de-
vices OF charging high terms for special
favors, which are in the nature of an i'm
position on subscribers, inasmuch as they
are misled 10y putting which has been paid

THE MAILS DELAYED.
Harry Bailey's Extradition Papers
Not Yet Arrived.

lNOI IcI AIIlNCOs
The case of Harry Bailey. alias Thomas
Kennedy, alias Thomas Bailey, who was
arrested a few days ago at the Palace
Hotel on telegram from the authorities
in Detroit, Mich, where he is wanted on
a charge of kidnapping. came up before
Judge Murphy of Del Norte yesterday on
a writ of habeas corpus.
Carroll Cook represented the defend
ant, aud when the case was called up he
asked for continuance on the ground
that neither his client nor the police were
ready 10 go on with the case. 1t appeared
that the requisition papers were on their
way from Michigan, but had not yet
arrived. owing to delay in the mails.
I'VE can do nothing until the papers
come" said Mr.. Cook. "because when we
see them my client will either surrender to
what we think they are he will contest
the whole proceedings.
Under the circumstances Judge Murphy
agreed TO continue the matter until Mon
day next at 2 P. NJ. Thereupon, M r. Cook
addressed the court on the subject of bail.
He said that in Detroit Bailey's bail was
$500, and so he thought that the present
bail need not be fixed at more titan double
that amount. He was prepared to furnish
$1,000 bail.
Judge Murphy refused to decide this
question without consulting the District
Attorney. Accordingly. Mr.. Barnes was
sent for. All he had to suggest, however.
was that the bail be sufficiently high to
keep the defendant in the city. 1t was on
record that he had forfeited his last bail Of
$500.
Finally Judge Murphy fixed ball al
$4,000. and continued the hearing of the
writ until Monday next.

PARLIAMENT OF RELIGIONS
1t Occupies the Attention OF TIE
PresbyterianS.

Presbyterians.
The Presbyterian Ministerial Union met
Yesterday morning in the Howard Church,
the president, Rev. George d. b. Stewart,
presiding.
Rev. Donald M. Ross. the pastor OF
Lebanon Church. read paper on Chris
tianity the Ultimate Religion" He beg an
with the question. rs the world growing
wiser than it's religious beliefs. and is it
getting ahead of them, 80 that it will
eventually be able to dispense with them
altogether ?" He referred to the recent
Parliament of Religions in connection with
the Colum bian Exposition at Chicago as
showing The universal innate craving of
men for religion of some kind and their
general desire for the best within their
reach.
A perfect religion, he said, must have
three marks. 1t must be monotheistic,
recognizing bat one God; it must be
spiritual, so as to satisfy the wants Of the
soul, having q physical representations as
objects of worship; and it must be reve-
lation from God. Christianity is the only
religion that bears all these marks. conse-
quently it must ultimately prevail as the
religion of the world.
The subjert was discussed by Rev.
Messrs. Mcdonald, Bevier. Griffith,
Rhoda, Meeker, Scott. Woodwork, Ma
tbena and Stewart. During the discus
sion the Parliament of Religions was given
some pretty hard HIS. One of the speakers
referred to the parliament on Mount Car
mel between the Prophet Elijah, as the
representative of the religion of Jehovah,
and the priests of Baal. Another went
further back, to that disastrous conference
which took place in the Garden OF Eden,
the result showing the danger of such
conventions when entered into with any,
thing like a spirit of compromise or a
readiness to yield in the slightest degree
the truth previously held.
Rev. E. G. MatheDa. DID,, Rev. John
Hemphill. DID,, and Rev. Robert Mae

the Congregational Club in the afternoon
and announced the appointment Of these

conference were appointed by that body.
At the meeting of the union next Mon
day morning Rev. Michael Nardi will give
some account of his work as an evangelist

Francisco tenderfeet expected to stop at
Broadway. but obtained the information
Oh the train that the train did not stop at
the principal station in Oakland. 1--WE sell
tickets to Oakland" said a conductor,
"and make stops where we see fit" The
company had what wrestling boys call the
upper hand" and the two San Francisco
explorers had to submit. The walk from
Market street to Broadway was made light
of. Returning, the explorers desired to
stop at the Point Two trains came west
to Broadway about seven, one Of which
stopped while the other ran right through.
The explorers took the train that stopped,
assuming that it would stop also 1t the
Point. But tn at train ran TO the mole with

were informed that it would be an hour
before another train would run to Oak

Louis G. Frey. the labor agitator who has
brought discredit upon the city by sending

lars about the condition of the laboring

ment.

alleged he used it for his own uses and
purposes.
The amount named in the complaint is
S120, but it is SAID there is much larger
sum to be accounted for.
1t was reported yesterday that Frey.
fearing arrest, had disappeared from the
city. ana the general comment was that il
was to be hoped the report was correct.

Lord Shannon. who has been called "the

taste for rough men and hard labor. and
he spends much of his time at his beautiful
