LIGHT SENTENCES
For Most DiabolicaI and Disgraceful
Crime Against Humanity.

Crime Against Humanity.
LONDON. Nov. 25-The trial of the
officers of the British vessel Why Not
for DESERVING the ship while on fire,
leaving the passengers to their fate,
resulted in the conviction sof Capt.
William Wilkinson and Mate Arthur
Wilkinson. The captain was sem
fenced to six months and the mate to
two months Imprisonment at hard
labor at Guernsey. The judge who
presided at the trial in pronouncing
sentence, declared that the conduct of
the officers and crew of the vessel was
disgrace to the nation.
While the vessel was on her way to
the Island of Jersey in June last, a fire
was discovered in her hold. While the
sailors were attempting to put out the
fire bucket was accidentally dropped
overheard. boat was lowered TO re-
cover it, whereupon the captain jumped
into the boat and was followed by the
crew. One of the passengers jumped
overheard and swan to the boat, into
which he was taken. The passengers
remaining on board handled the yes
sci as best they could, and managed to
beach her at Frouy. where the cap
tain and boats crew also landed.

The SEAL SLAUGHTE r.

ftartIing Disclosures from the Seal-Breeds
ing Islands--Eighty Per Cent. OF tho
Catch Females. While Sucking Pups by
the Thousand are Left to Die of slow
stnrvation-Puny Efforts by the United
States to Stay the Slaughter.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-The revenue
cutter "Bear"-the last government
vessel to leave Behring sea this fall
brought some startling evidence of the
effect of pelagic sealing upon the AL
askan seal herd which frequent the
Pribyloff or seal islands.
In accordance with the findings of
the Paris arbitration, schooners are
now permitted to hunt seals in Behring
sea with spears in zone sixty miles
around the islands after the 1st of
August. This gives them about five
weeks of good sealing.
1t was thought that combining seal
ing schooners to spears and reducing
| the season to practically five or six
weeks would put stop to the slaugh-
ter in Behring sea, and allow the herds
to recuperate. This year not less than
sixty schooners began hunting in
Behring sea August 1 and captured
nearly 10000 pelts. about 80 per cent
of which were from females.
This, however, does not show the
full extent of the injury done. The
seal pups are dependent on their
mothers milk for the first four OF five
months of existence, and without it,
the little creatures must suffer the
lingering death of starvation.
Act ;~-+~,,atiD.. - -;
respective supervisors, both resident
treasury officials and agents of the
North American Commercial Co. made
careful count of the dead pups found
at the close of the season, when seal
ing schooners had left the sea. The
| census, which was just completed
when the Bear" left, reached $1,000.
1t did not include those in the last
stages of starvation. The same con-
count was made with less exactness
on account of snow.
The actual pecuniary loss to the
United States and the commercial
world by this needless waste of ami
NAL life will reach huadreds of thou
sands of dollars.
The United States, which has never
allowed the molestation of seals on
breeding grounds, or the killing of
female seals on land, made puny eff
fort last year to stay the slaughter go
ing on by limiting the land killing to
| $4,000 mature males but as this SIM
ply gave the hunters so much addi-
tional prey it is questionable If in the
light of existing conditions and the
report of treasury officials further re-
straint will be exercised, especially as
request made last January by the
United States to Great Britain for
greater protection to the seals, has
been practically ignored.

WASHING TON, Nov. The report of
James White, superintendent of the
railway mail service, shows that during
the year 497 accidents occurred to rail-
way post offices, in which seven clerks
were killed and IFS injured while on
duty; an increase over last year of 1877
accidents, and 81 clerks killed and in
jured. 1t is shown that the service
is becoming more and more eff
Gent each year. OF the 1887,
s75, 900 pieces distributed but 1,166, 6s2
errors occurred, being one error
for each s,s95 pieces handled
correctly, as compared with one for
each 1854 pieces in 1890, one for each
1854 in 1892 and one for each 1881
pieces in 1894. The patrons of the de-
partment deposited in the mails during
the year l0,907, 151 pieces, which were
not addressed to any post office, or so
insufficlently, incorrectly or illegibly
addressed as to render their delivery
impossible until information as to the
intention of the senders were secured,
and of these, 4, Pa, SAC could not be for
warded to the addresses, because the
intention of the senders could not be
ascertained.
