HOW SEALS ARE MANAGED
Mr.. COudert Tells the Court About
a Strange Business.
SEALS HE SAYS ARE HERDED LIKE
CATTLE ON THE PLAINS.

In American Territory Palagic Sealers
Would Fare Much the Same az Cattle
Stealers on the Prairie--we Take Good
Care of Our Seals-They Are Not or.
Tended by Tobacco Smoke and Dogs
Are Banished.
PARIS, May Sin the Behring Sea
court Of arbitration today Mr.. Coudert
read and discussed portion of the
American case relating to the methods
employed in taking seals at the Pribyloff
islands, and the results of those prac-
tices upon the herd. He read to the
effect that herd of seals was as capable
OF being driven, separated and counted
as herd Of cattle on the plains, much
resembling the latter In timidity of the
females and ferocity of the males. Ac-
cording to the evidence of one witness,
they are as controllable and amenable
to good management upon the islands
as sheep sand cattle.'' This power of
domestication made it possible to dis
criminate most carefully between the
classes Of seals killed and to enforce the
rules ana regulaJlOnS Tor the general
management of the herd.
Baron de Courcel, president of the
Tribunal, inquired whether the branding
of seals was practiced.
Mr.. Coudert replied that he presumed
it was not. 1t would be no protection
against pelagic marauders who, on
American soil, would be hanged without
trial. There was no difference. Mr..
Coudert continued, between seals going
to sea for food and cattle going on the
prairies for food. In reply to Lord Ham
men, the British arbitrator, Mr.. Coudert
prefaced his examination of the man
agement of the seal islands with an ar
gument in which he contended that the
arbitrators could not make any regula-
tions as to Behring Sea conditional as to
what should be done on ISLANDS owned
by the United States. The United States
would not allow anybody to interfere
with the management of the property of
the United States. Mr.. sCoudert went
on to prove that the regulations in force
on the Pribyloff islands provided every
possible precaution for the preservation
OF the seals. Dogs were not allowed on
the islands and even smoking was for
hidden.

Sad TALES OF THE SEA.
Death on Brigantine ShoaI- How One
Vessels Crew Escaped.
HOMES MADE DESOLATE BY THE
LOSS OF THE BRAVE.

When the Schooner Booth Brothers Sank
Off Brigantine Shoal- Her Crew Took
to the Life Boat-An Were Later
Transferred to Another Vessel by a
Breeches Buoy-The Captains wife
and Child Were With Him,
New YORK, May 5.-Captain Burdick
sof the schooner Booth Brothers, wrecked
on the Brigantine shoals in the heavy
easterly gale Thursday morning, tells a
thrilling story of the wreck and rescue.
Tho schooner Booth Brothers sailed from
Tenants Harbor, Me-, April 20, for Phil
adelphia with 500 tons of paving stones.
The crew consisted of six men and the
captains wife and child accompanied
him on the voyage. Everything went
well until May when the schooner took
heavy northeast gale which continued
with increasing fury until she struck on
the dangerous Brigantine shoals near
Barnegat at 4 a. M, May 4. She re-
manned in this position until the wind
shifted to the west and drove her off the
shoals into deep water where she soon
afterwards sunk. As soon as the captain
discovered that the schooner was sinking
he launched the life boat and notwith-
standing the tremendous sea running at
the time succeeded in getting all into the
boat in safety. Taking his wife's apron
he tied it to an oar and the men took
turns in keeping the signal upright so it
might be seen by any passing vessel.
After two hours drifting in the raging
sea and when all were drenched to the
skin, the boat was sighted by Captain
Bird of the schooner James W. Bigelow,
Cienfuegos for New York. After wear
ing his vessel five times, Captain Bird
succeeded in getting life line to the
boat and dropped her astern. The sea
was too violent to get the boat alongside
and the only hope of a successful rescue
was by means of the breeches buoy
brought into use by the line already
secured between the schooner and the
boat. The captains wife was first pulled
aboard and then the child and the crew,
the captain being the lastto leave the boat
All were brought to this port on the
schooner James W. Bigelow, none the
worse for their experience, the drenching
and the loss of their entire outfit.
A despatch from Atlantic City, N. j.,
says schooner which sank off Brigan-
tine shoals yesterday still shows her
masts above water. Captain Abrams of
North Brigantine, organized volunteer
crew this morning and went out to the
wreck. The crew were still in the rigging
when last seen at sundown last night and
it is believed they fell off during the
night.

The Hard Time of the VIM, Flint.

New BEDFORD, Mass. May 5.-The
vessel reported last night off the end
of Cuttyhunk isl the two-masted
schooner William Flint, Captain Chase Of
Bangor. She came to anchor off the life
saving station of the island Wednesday
night about6 o'clock. Yesterday she
was seen flying her colors union down,
having dragged her anchors until she
was almost within the terrible line of
breakers off the island. The volunteer
life saving crews were unable to shoot a
line to the vessel and had to give UP the
attempt. Two of the islanders came to
this city in a small fishing schooner and
secured the tug Volunteer to go to her
assistance. The tug left here at 2. 80 this
morning and later was reported with the
schooner in tow.

CHICAGO, May 5.-The great relay ride
from Boston to Chicago ended six min
utes and % seconds after this morning.
The exact time made from the Boston
Post to the office of the Chicago Herald
was liz hours and 4S minutes. Although
this time is "a hours or SO later than that
scheduled, the ride can be said to have
been glorious success. The record of
last years ride from New York to Chica-
60 was beaten. The time from New
York to Chicago this year was 95 hours.
Last year it was 100 hours.

Barring Scare and Recalled Black Fri
|, day.
NEW YORK, May 5.-The day was one
of exceptional activity and intense ex-
citement at the Stock Exchange. The
great slump in prices during the last
half hour of business yesterday and the
further break this morning was ex-
planned by the failures of S. V. White,
Ferris and Kimball and W. L. Patton 6
20. Large amounts Of stocks were sold
out for the account of these houses and
the avalanche of offerings created a
more panicky condition of affairs than
has existed since the Barring panic. Ac-
cording to those who have passed
through the ''Black Friday troubles
and all the financial upheavals since.
there never has been time when stock
exchange houses were so completely de-
moralized as today. The situation re-
solved itself into matter of selling for
practically any price obtainable. Had
the pressure to sell continued short
time longer, there is little doubt that
other houses would have qeen forced to
the wall. London turned up a heavy
buyer, it is said, and took upwards Of
100000 shares. At the same time home
investors who have not appeared in Wall
street for years, took round amounts of
railroad and industrial stocks. The buy
ing power thus exhibited turned the
tide. Later funds became decidedly
easier, foreign exchanges declined sharp
ly, removing the possibility of gold ex-
ports, and firms reported in difficulty
pulled through safely. All this com
bined to create much better feeling and
the recovery was even more rapid than
the previous decline. The market closed
with more confident feeling than has
prevailed for several days.
