The st. Paul and the Alexander TAKEN
In Tow by the Rush.
PoRT TOWNSEND, July 1S.-The schoon-
ers Alexander and st. Paul were seized
July 1st by the revenue cutter Rush for
illegal sealing in the Bering sea.
SAN Francisco, July 1S.-The schoon-
or Alexander, which was seized in the
Bering sea by the revenue cutter Rush,
is owned by Liebes & Co., San Francisco,
furriers. The schooner St. Paul is owned
up north. Liebes & Co. are
among the leading stockholders OF
the North American Navigation
company which bought the contract for
killing seals in the Bering sea from the
United States, and handle the output
from the rookeries, The fact that one
of their schooners has been seized for
poaching is regarded as peculiar. Owing
to a mistake in a dispatch from Port
Townsend last night in which the seized
vessels were referred to as steamers, 1T was
thought at first the steamer Alexandria
which is alleged to have fred on the
Mohican had been seized by the Rush.

The Rookeries in Antarctic Waters Evi-
IDENTIFY Repopu1ated.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.--A dispatch re-
norting the arrival OF a chip at VAL
psraiso with cargo of 10000 seal skins
taken at an unknown point in the Ant
arctic ocean was shown Professor Goode,
a well-known expert of Ghe Smithsonian
institution. He replied: ut is not at
all improbable that such catch was
made. Fur seals are foand on both the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts OF South
America, about the southern extremity,
and on all the outlying islands, includ-
ING not only the Falkla nds, South Shet-
land and South Georgian, but other
small islands more to the eastward.
They have been found, in fact, at all the
islands making up chain OF pelagic IN
let's stretching somewhat interruptedly
from Cape Horn and the Falkland is-
lands eastward to Australia and New
Zealand, including those south OF the
Cape of Good Hope, 80 famous in the
annals of seal fshery. The rookeries
in that part of the world, however, have
practically been abandoned for some
wears. for the reason that owing to
Great Britain's failure to protect the
aeals there, they became almost extinct
and did not pay for the time and trouble
spent in hunting them. May be theee
Years of comparative safety resulted il
the restoration of seal life to it's forme

FITTED. FOR WAR.

The Steamer A1exandria Well Equipped
for . Fight.
SAN Francisco, July 18.-The steam
schooner Alexandria, which is said to
have disabled the warship Mohican In
the Bering sea. sailed from San Francis
co last April under the Hawaiian nag
Dstensibly for hunting and flshlng
voyage in the North Pacific ocean. The
popularity of her outfit was that she
carried over 80 men, some OF them ex-
pert seal hunters, and that she had over
40 Winchester rifles and several small
cannon. She also carried supplies for
the curing and packing OF scar
skins. Her captain, Sam Mclean,
is notorious for having coEducteo
several raids on the seal rookeries on
the Japan coaet, and one of his vess els
was seized by the Russians after lively
fight. The men selected by him were
known in San Francisco as men VINO
would enjoy fight. Although the ia
pan coast was given as her destination'
It was thought the Alexander contem-
plated raids on the Russian or Bering
Sea rookeries and the American patrol
ling fleet was warned to look out for her.
