It appears that the Chinese were not the
only race that showed arrant cowardiee at
Port Arthur. There were a number of
European officers in command at the forts,
and it is said these were among the first
to desert their posts and run from danger.
They were, of course. mercenaries merely,
and took the best care of their skins pos
sible when there was danger they would
be punctured.

An attempt has been made in England
to patent the new diphtheria specific dis,

precedent in England for granting pro-

were, the officials would be sustained
by public sentiment in declining to
patent the serum. There should be no

When the Boring Sea tribunal concluded
its sessions In Paris last year. it was evil
dent to those who understood the matter
as to which there dispute that the
United States had not only failed to secure
several of the advantages it had hoped
for but had lost valuable control over the
seal fisheries. Not. however, until now has
il been made plain that the decision of the
tribunal will result in the speedy exter-
minatiOp CT seal life in Alaskan waters.
Representative Dingley. of Maine, yesterday
presented to the House, for it's informa ton
and consideration, a letter written him by
Mr.. Henry W. Elliott, who probably Knows

An inconsiderate District ofiicial-by name
Beggs and ranked as an inspector-has
recommended to the District Commission
ers that a man be stationed on the tender
of each shifting-engine used in the rail-
road yards at night and that this man be
provided with a lantern which he should
be required to wave as a warning while
the engine on which he Is stationed moves

quently do. Inspector Beggs was prob
ably moved toward his proposition by a
desire to save the lives of persons who
may be brought into more or less forcible
contact with the death-dealing distractions
that continually threaten all who are COM
PEELED to cross the railroad-tracks which
run with careless freedom through this
city at grade; his motive was humane and
will doubtless be commended by senti-
mental men and women who still cling to
the old-fashioned idea that human exist
ence is a precious something and that the
spillirg of blood except by due process
Of law is not easily to be atoned for. The
railroad companies, however. are intensely
practical and are never moved by consid-
erations of the purely sentimental sort.
Does Inspector Beggs realize that the car
rying out of his proposition would involve
the hiring of three or four additional men
who would probably demand as much as
dollar per night each for services rendered
in coupling cars and swinging lanterns on
the rear end of shifting-engines? Would
he insist upon compelling the companies
to indulge in such vast expenditure merely
that the lives of few of the more or less
common people be preserved for awhile?
Inspector Beggs had better be more care
full as to his recommendations or he will

Canadian schooners secured 1904 SKINS
while the little American feet gathered in
9.419 additional Thus it will be seen,"
writes Mr.. Elliott that the catch for 1894
taken from the Alaskan herd under the
license of the articles Of protection ordered
by the Paris tribunal, Is in round numbers
$1,000 skins, against $4,000 skins In 1893
and $1,000 skins in 1892" Mr.. Elliott shows
quite conclusively how this comes to be
the prohibition of the use Of firearms
which, lad they been used, would have
driven many seals back into the 6O-mile
zone, having resulted naturally in silent
slaughter by skilled spearmen. 1t is deeply
interesting to note that a very large pro-
portion of the seals killed were females,
and as this proportion will surely increase
in at least the same ratio as the total catch
increases, Ii will not be more than six or
seven years before the last of the seals
will have disappeared from Boring Sea and
the Paris tribunal of 1893 will have been
proven a complete failure. Mr.. Eliott's
remedy is not a complicated theory. He
says:
we have before just one thing to do
in so far as this business is concerned and
that Is to first make a fair and honest at
tempt to enlist the aid of Great Britain
in uniting with to save that life on the
Pribyloy Islands from the certain ruin now
staring it in the face: then. If we fail in
that, repeal that law of 1S6S-1SIO, which
prevents the killing Of female seals on
land in Alaska the waters adjacent
thereto, so that we at least can take what
belongs to U.S. cover the proceeds into the
public treasury. rather than to hand it
over In the ridiculous manner that we have
done thus far to alien interests, which
only thrive today regardless of the fact
that all is ruined after them and scott at
us for our remonStrance."

In the morning hour the bill to promote

vice. a measure of great merit, was called
up for consideration, but the time was oc-
Cupied by a so-called speech of that coarse
dernagogue from Missouri, who calls him

Clark. During the time this vulgar indi-
vidual was talking to the House it looked
more like a country bar room than a hall
of legislation. Clark took off his cuffs and
laid them on his desk and then proceeded
to eulogiZe the lecherous Breckinridge of
Kentucky, in about the same manner as
he yesterday eulogized Morgan, the con-
federate guerilla.

One OF the remarkable and one Of the
most distressing features of the slow con-
struction of the new post-office building Is
the extraordinary mortality to which a
correspondent has directed attention. Only
a few men have been employed on the
work and the structure is hardly fifty feet
above the ground yet three of the toilers
met death with startling suddenness while
on duty. Responsibility for the deaths In
question ought to be something of a bur-
