WORSE OFF THAN HOMER.
Seven Cities Claimed the Epic Poet of
Greece, but Brockway Sees Him and Goe
Several Better

SeFeidi
For many centuries 1t has been a
question of vital Importance as to
where Homer, the bard of ancient
Greece, was born, but the momentus
question has now been dropped for a
time, and another matter of vital i'm
portance is presented to US. It is not
''Who struck Billy Patterson?" but
what city, town or burg can prove that
it was the birthplace of the desperate
and aged counterfeiter, Brockway.
Homer was claimed by seven cities.
but it now appears that Brockway can
go him about seven better.
Among the places which have already
brought forward irrefutable evidence Of
being his birthplaces are New Haven.
Bridgeport, North Haven and Essex.
The Bridgeport Post of yesterday says
as follows!
William Elias Brockway, the most
notorious and daring forger the world
has ever produced, has been occupying
considerable space in the newspape for
the past few days. The New Haven
papers have been claiming him as a
native of that city, but this is wrong.
He was born in Bridgeport seventy
three years ago. and went from here t.
New Haven. In this, as in everything
else. Bridgeport leads the world.

Effects of PeIagic Sealing Upon the
Seal Herd.

Effects of PeIagic Scaling Upon the
Seal Herd.
WASHINGTON, Nov 24.-Inforrna.
ton reaches here that the revenue cut
ter Bear. the last government vessel
to leave Boring sea, has just brought
down some startling evidence of the
effect of pelagic sealing upon the
Alaskan seal herd, which frequents the
Pribyloff or Seal island.
In accordance with the finding of the
Paris arbitration, schooners are now
permitted to hunt seals in Bering sea
with spears in zone sixty miles
around the islands from the first of
August. It was thought that confin-
ing sealing schooners to spears and re-
ducing the season to practically five
or six weeks would stop the slaughter
in Boring sea and allow the herd to
recuperate. This year not less than
sixty schooners began hunting in Ber-
ing sea August 1, and captured nearly
10000 pelts. about so per cent of which
were females. This does not show the
full extent of the injury done.
The seal pups are dependent on their
mothers milk for the first four or five
months of their existence, and without
it must suffer starvation Acting
under instructions of their respective
superiors, both resident treasury Off

Commercial company, made a count

Charles H. Grosvenor, member OF
Congress for this district, in an inter-
view today proposes rebelling against
the committee should it select San
Francisco for the place of holding the
coming Republican national conven-
ton. General Grosvenor says the offer
Of San Francisco to pay the hotel bills
of the delegates is of the nature of a.
bride. He says the expenses to the
delegates going to that city would be
one and quarter millions more than
it would be were the convention held
east of the Rockies. Besides. he says,
it would accommodate upwards of
eighty delegates of the Pacific coast
at the great expense of upwards of
720 delegates in the central and east
ern parts of the United States. He
therefore suggests that in case the
committee should be obdurate and
select San Francisco, then the dele
gates in all the states should meet in
their respective states and veto the
action of the committee by SELECTING.

opportunity presents, by the same
means that struck down British power

the world the republic of the United
