The state department at Washington
has been Informed 10y our consul at Vic
toria British Columbia, that the Cana
dian sealing vessels for that port have
returned e,mpty-handed from Bering Sea.
They found practically no seals. The
animals have been exterminated (as was
the buffalo by the unrestrained killing.
This result was long ago predicted by
those familiar with the subject and the
contention has often been urged that the
most stringent protection to seal lfe
was needed to prevent its entire destruc-
ton In Alaskan waters. This lamentabie
outcome is the logical consequence Of
the work Of the tribunal of arbitration
In Paris In 1899. Its decision prohibited
pelaglc sealing by American citizens or
British subjects within zone go miles Of
the Prfbyloy is.ands5 beyond this zone,
and in any part of the Pacific ocean or
Berlng sea, north of the thirty-fifth par
allel, and east of Russian water boundar-
les, American citizens and British sub
jects were not to be permitted to Kill or
take seals In the months of May June
and July of every year. This decision
did not prevent the poachers from set
ting out in vessels under the flags of
any power other than the United States
or Great Britain and destroying seals
Thus the decision practically left the
matter as It had been before the arbltra-
tors met The seals were not protected
in the breeding season.

The recovery Of the bodies lost during
the late regatta has brought into prom
lnence question that should be dealt
with at once by the authorities. The un-
dertaking rooms of the county coroner
situated as they are in the heart of the
city, are no fit receptacle for corpses that
have been exposed to the action Of water
for several days, and in a seaport like
Astoria, where bodies in this condition
are often recovered, the county should
provide a morgue removed at a reasona-
BILE distance from the inhabited parts OF
the city and If possible fronting on the
river. If such a building were erected
the dangerous and unpleasant proximity
of badly decomposed matter could be en-
tlrely avoided.

CHILDISH THREATS.

Mr.. Scott mas decided to abandon the
cd you're another" argument in con-
nectlon with the river Improvement con-
troversy and has concluded to get off a
few threats, just to show the immense
power he has up his sleeve for future
use. IL necessary. He makes his young
men Of the Evening Telegram say in yes
terday's issue OF that little afternoon ap-
pendage:
"Prematureness of expression antagon-
istic to Portland seems to be common
weakness of the persons who are push
ing the Astoria-Goble railroad project
Clark of Missouri howled too soon, and
the bray Of the Astorians editor Is decid-
edly too previous. Such hair-trigger work
savors more OF va.or than of prudence.
Before provoking Portland to substitute
opposition for its aid to the road it would
be discreet to wait until trains are run
Ming"
And again, just to illustrate his mean
ing a little more clearly,
Ordinary discretion should restrain the
people and press of Astoria from antag-
onizlng the people and press of Portland
just at this time If Portland were as
vlndictive as Astoria is asinine, the work
OF constructing that railroad from GoD,e
might be considerably delayed"
We really feel very sorry that we have
provoked this dire warning, and are most
anxious to do anything in our power to
avert the impending catastrophe. II the
editor of the Oregonian will refrain from
putting stop to the building of the AS
toria-Goble railroad, we will pledge our
selves to prevent It going beyond this
city or benefttlng in any way the enor-
nous landed interests of Congressman
Clark down at Flavel. In order to make
things doubly secure Astorlans should
waste no time in forwarding a tearful
petition to the oregonian, embodying the
above clauses, and begging the editor, In
MS mercy, to let the railroad come, just
this once, and we will never do It any
more. But we feel that 1t is hardly a
wise thing for that Individual after his
recent sickenlng professions of friendship
for Astoria, to be led by baffied rage into
a confession OF his true deslre-the degre-
dation OF every surrounding center OF
population into a sort of tributary village
TO the great and only city OF Portland.
and the resultant supremacy of the pow
erful organ whose destnles he wie.ds 80

The commissioners appointed by the
local government to inquire into the his
tory, causes and effect" Of the coal mine
fires of Plcton county have just finished
taking evidence. The work of the COM
mission was directed mainly to the in
vestigation OF the condition of the Foord
pit. This mine has been on fire in one
place or another since the tifties, anu
1t is burning yet. Explosion after ex-
ploslon has occurred and many lives
have been lost. When fire broke out in
one place the miners resorted to another
sinking new shaft. To avoid the fire
on an upper level, a shaft was sunk and
coal taken out on the level Immediately
below the fire. Soon the fire came through
and again the miners We're driven out.
Nothing the miners could do availed to
drive out the fire and the splendid mine
has been practically abandoned. though
a little coal has been taken out on
level below part that Is on fire. The
object OF the commission Is to learn
whether something cannot be dong TO
save 50 valuable property as the Foord
