Adams gave some very interesting in
formation. The breeding places of the
animals are beaches which extend Tor
mi es along the shores of the islands. The
sealers call them ''rookeries" and they
extend several hundred yards from the
water in places. Here the old males or
"bulls" abide, each with a family OF from
% to 30 females and their offspring or
pups" IL is not easy to approach them
closely enough to see them well, as the re-
males and pups are very shy and will take
to the water at the slightest alarm. Dur
ing the breeding season the bulls live In a
state of perpetual warfare. They jeal-
ously guard their females, and in their
combats tear one another with their great
canine teeth SO savagely that they often
die of the wounds. They are highly dam
gerous to approach, and will attack any
intruder with much ferocity.
The 2-year-old male seals, known as
bachelors" are driven from the breeding
grounds by the older bulls, with whom
they are unable to cope. They huddle and
condole together along the outskirts upon
what are known rs bachelor rookeries,
and are quite shy and harmless unless
cornered. These arc the only seal that
legitimately arc killed for their fur. As
they lie sleeping at night in great herds,
hauled well up on the shore, bands OF
Aieuts steal quietly between them and the
water. Then by outcries, beating tin pans,
aud knocking sticks together they startle
them into activity. The seals retreat from
the noise, and thus are driven inland over
the hills in large numbers. Eight or 10
Aleuts will easily drive 5000 bachelors
from the rookery to the killing grounds,
distance of several miles, in three or four
hours. There they despatch them with
clubs.
Although the piratical killing of many
years has largely reduced the fur seals in
numbers, they still are numerous in the
breeding season upon these two islands.
A view of rookery from overlooking
hills at a distance of half mile or SO re-
veals a dense mass of dark-gray objects
that Jump and flop and squirm in inexi-
cable confusion. With n glass one can
distinguish the hugo bulls from to 10
years old, which sometimes are eight feet
long and often weigh from 700 to 800
pounds. They are constantly on the
watch and usually on the move, keeping
their wives and pups from straying from
their care and defending their claims
from the Entertainments of other bulls.
Around them huddle their females,
smaller in size and less conspicuous,
while the entire surface of the rookery not
otherwise occupied is packed with pups OF
all sizes.
Mr.. Adams will remain in the city about
10 days and will then go to San Francisco,
where he will stay until May 10, when the
Bear will take him to ST. Paul island. The
trip is a long one, requiring about Is days,
including stops. There will probably be
| as much sealing this year as last, unless
some new agreement is reached and it is
not likely that this can be accomplished
| for year at least.

said There is disposition on the part
of some people to make light OF the dis
turbance caused by these Indians. / find
that it is really a serious matter. The
three who we're arrested on the night of
the revolt at the agency are, unquestion-
ably, bad Indians and since their release
from the Missoula Jail they have been
worse than ever. They seem to be fer
menting trouble all the time at the agency
and they ought to be locked up where they
can't stir up their fellows. Agent Carter
deals very leniently with his charges on
the reservation, find. When he makes
n complaint, you may be sure that there
is some cause for it,. There are many
instances where he would be justified in
proceeding against some of these turbu-
lent spirits, when he overlooks the offenses
entirely"
The four Indians we're brought before
Commissioner Smith this evening and the
complaints read to them. They entered
pleas of not guilty and the cases were set
for trial at o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
