PELOGIC SEALING.
Eighty Per Cent. Of the Catch Re-
ported to be Females.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The rev.
enue cutter Bear-the last Govern
ment vessel to leave Behring Sea this
fall-brought some startling evidence
Of the effect of Pelagic sealing upon
the Alaskan seal herd which frequent
the Pribyloff or Seal Islands. In ac-
cordance with the findings of the Paris
arbitration, schooners are now per-
mitted 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 confining seal
ing schOoners to spears, and reducing
the season to practically five or six
weeks, would put a stop to the slaugh-
ter in Behring Sea, and allow the herds
to recuperate This year not less than
sixty schooners began hunting in Reh-
ring Sea August 1st, and captured
nearly 10000 pelts, about 80 per cent.
OF which were females. This, however,
does not show the full extent of the
injury done. The seal pups are de-
pendent on their mothers milk for the
first four or five months Of existence,
and without it the little creatures must
suffer the lingering death of starva-
ton.
Acting under instructions of their re-
spective superiors, both resident treas
ury officers and agents of the North
American Commercial Company made
a careful count of the dead pups found
at the close of the season when sealing
schooners had left the sea. The census
which was just completed when the
Bear left reached 81, 600. 1t did not in
clude those in the last stages of stava-
ton. The same conditions prevailed
last year, but the 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 animal
life will reach hundreds of thousands
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 an effort
last year to stay the land killing TO
$1,000 mature males, but this simply
gave the hunters so much additional
prey.
1t is questionable if in the light of ex-
listing conditions and the report of
treasury officials further restraint will
be exercised, especially as a request
made last January by the United
States to Great Britain for greater
protection to the seals has been prac-
ticallX IGNORED

CUTTING TO CEASE.
Railroad Rates to be Maintained Under
tha New Agreement.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 24.-In an inter
view to-day NJ. E. ingalls,, President of
The Big Four and Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad, said:
For the past two years the rates
have been very low, but not so low that
there was no profit if they were rigidly
maintained. But cutting was INDUCED
in to a greater extent than ever before.
The fast freight lines were used as in
struments to cut rates, and nearly eV-
cry man had alliances and arrange
mentS by which he could secure bust
ness at a rate that was below the tariff.
Heretofore all agreements have been
broken Those who entered into them
had no faith in their permanancy, and
the man who did want to maintain
rates soon found that in order to get
business ne would have to go back to
cutting. Every road in the Central
Traffic and Trunk line territory will be
affected We will have nine men to
make rates instead of forty, and every
bill of lading and ticket will come un-
der their jurisdiction. The tariffs that
are now public will be the tariffs of the
new association. No change can be
made without a three-quaTterS vote of
the Board of Managers.
AS to the weaker roads which might
not fare as well, as the big lines, Mr..
ingalls, said a system OF dltterentlaI
rates would be established. For in
stance, suppose the Big -Four should
carry the bulk of the passenger trade
to New York. The Chesapeake and
Ohio could file protest and be granted
a differential rate, such as exists to-day
between the Erie and the other New
York lines out of Cincinnati. think
that the Canadian Pacific will come
into the agreement. The Norfolk and
Western is in the hands of receiver,
and will become a member when the
legal complications are removed. 1t is
quite probable that if the association
succeeds in carrying out what it has
undertaken that others, founded on
similar basis, will be formed to work
in harmony with the trunk line asso-
citation. The agreement will tend to
strengthen rates all over the country.
and | think it will be a success. We
meet in New York on December 18th to
appoint the Board of Managers and
select the three arbitratOrs. Each
President Will send in a list of twenty
five men for arbitrators, and three will
be selected from the lists.

Two Negroes probably Lynched.

CINCINNATI, Nov. PA special to
the Tribune from Greenwood, 5. G.,
says: There is every reason to believe
that the two negroes. John Richards
and Thomas Watts, who waylaid, rob
bed. murdered and then burned the
body of Miss Bagwell near Greenwood,
have been lynched. They were taken to
the AbbeviIle. S. c., Jail. The latest ad-
vices from there are that mob had
gone to the Jail to break it open and get
the men. There is no extra guard at the
Jail, and the indications are ihat they
is closed. and there is little chance of
getting definite information from there
at present.

CHURCH CIRCLES EXCITED.
y Minister DenounceS a Young Lady

y Minister DenounceS n Young Lady
for Teaching Dancing.
CAMDEN On. j., Nov. 24-Some of
are deeply grieved over what they say
was an uncalled-for announcement OF
an estimable young woman by the Rev.
Dr. j. B. Graw, pastor of the church.
The young WOman'S offense consisted of
teaC hing her younger sister and several
of her girl friends the art of dancing.
Miss Carrie Mead is one of the MEM
bers of the Broadway NJ. E. Church. A
few weeks ago her sister Edna, girl
10 years of age, asked Miss Carrie to
teach her and one or two of her young
friends to dance. Miss Mead consented,
and her dancing lessons began. Last
Sunday night Miss Mead accompanied
Mr.. and Mrs. Murray, the parents of
one of the young girls she is teaching,
to the First NJ. Z. Church, and had the
misfortune of hearing herself de-
nounced in flaming language.
In the course of a sermon directed
against the theater and dancing and
other terrible evils, Rev DR.. Graw
said he had heard of a young lady
who had formed a dancing class, and
was taking the pure and innocent
children of the Sunday-school class,
and was teaching them the terrible
thing. He likened such a young lady
to the tiger, and its deadly claws lurk
ing beneath.
Continuing in this line, the preacher
said: IF that young lady is in the
congregation, all [ have to say is that
she is a fool -
Miss Mead was so astounded that she
could scarcely speak after the meet
ing. but since then her brother has
taken the matter up, and says DR..
Graw has not heard the last of it by
any means.
The preacher said he had no apology
to make At a public meeting in Cam
den on Thursday night last DR.. Graw
took occasion to speak of the incident.
He said he had been called upon and
told that he had made an error, but
