INDIANS WHO GO WHALING.
The Makahs of Washington Make a
Good Living Out of the Sen.

From the Chicago Herald
The Makah tribe of Indians of Neah Bay
nave been accustomed for years to cruise
on the. ocean twenty or thirty miles from
Cape Flattery. boldly attacking whales fur
seals and sea lions, catching haltbut. the
several varieties of cod, salmon and rock
fish. all of which abound in great numbers
about the cape. 1t was in 1862 that the
government established a reservation and
agency at Neah Bay under charge of
Henry Webster. The Makahs are not an
agricultural tribe. They are entirely self
supporting. receiving only about 800 a
year from the government for educa tional
purposes entirely. They derive all of their
subsistence from the ocean. They have
been encouraged to procure a larger class
or vessels than the canoes Of their ances-
tors and they have been allowed to own
and command vessels capable of making
voyages to distant seas in pursuit of their
vocation of sealing. whaling and fishing.
In 1861 sealing SchoonerS first commences
to take these Indians with their canoes to
the sealing grounds. and they thus ACQUIRED
knowledge of the superior facility afford
ed by schooner for safety and comfort.
1t was not before 1880 that any Indian
had confidence enough to purchase and sail
vessel of his own larger than canoe
Gradually the Makahs have increased their
business, and having been successful in
their sealing they now own a fleet of ten
fine schooners. varying in size from TWENTY
five to fifty tons each. They start out in
January, as soon as the seals begin to ap-
pear in the vicinity of Cape Flattery, and
cruise south, following the herds along the
coast to the Columbia river and returning
with the seals as they slowly wend their
way north to the Aleutian rookeries. From
the Columbia river to Alaska the Makah
natives know the coast and can navigate
their own schooners, but when they go
to Bering sea or to the Japan coast they
are compelled to take with them a Caucas-
ian navigator. The young men of the tribe
are exceedingly bright. Most of them at
tend the evening school. where they learn
to read and write English. Recently some
of them have been studying navigation
and it will not be long before they will be
able to navigate their own vessels even in
foreign waters. The earnings of members
of the tribe from sealing aggregate over
$4OUO year.
Under the present law, as laid down by
the Bering sea tribunal in Paris recently,
the Indinas have considerable advantage
over the white hunters. Firearms are
strictly prohibited in hunting seals, and
this causes the Indians to adopt their old
custom of hunting with spears, at which
large number of the tribe are adopts Prac-
tical sealers claim that the Indians will
fare much better than either the English
or American sealer.

The Bryant-Ellis Affair.

President c. l.. Bryant of the Inter State college at Texarkana, who shot Prof. Ellis, was lodged in the county jail in default of the Ss,0OO bail, which he tried in vain to furnish. He is a man of considerable property, but pub lie sentiment is so much against him that it was impossible to secure bonds men.
 Prof. Ellis, the wounded man, says a dispatch of the 24th, has shown re. markable vitality. and, to the great surprise of everyone, is still alive, and his physicians now say that he has one chance in ten to recover. The grand jury met this morning, and will remain in session two weeks. It is thought action in the matter of in dictment of Bryant will be deferred until the re- suit of Ellis wounds is known.
