tee to prevent the determination OF fur
bearing animals in Alaska According tn
the terms OF the measure, II the president
finds himself unable to secure the co.
operation of Great Britain, especially in
securing the modus vivendi authorized BY
the bill, so as to protect and preserve the
Alaskan seal herd for this years sealing
season, then the secretary Of the treasury
is authorized to take each and every fur
seal on the Pribloj islands, and to sell
the skins, and to cover the proceeds into
the treasury
1t Is believed, says the accompanying
report, that it is in Canada that is stand
ing in the way and holding back Great
Britain from cooperating with us in the
preservation OF the seal herd, and that
when Canada sees that we propose to take
summary measures to END not only
the inhumanity that consigns thousands
OF young seals to slow starvation, but also
the farce by which we are expanding large
sums Of money TO police Behring sea prac-
ucally to aid her pelagic seaers in tho
work of exterminating. seals, she will no

uniting with Us in efficient measures to
save the seal herds to the world.

the killing ana sale of the skins of what
seals are left. 1t IS said that inasmuch rs
all the sealskins taken go to London to be
prepared and dyed, giving employment
there to nearly $1,000 persons, even Great

during one of the worst storms that
ever struck the coast. Eight men, un-
der command OF the first Lieutenant,
were in the boat that left the Satellite.
1t was, as far as could be learned,
picked up bodily by the wind and ov-
erturned. One of the sailors swan
ashore, the others were never again
seen. The next morning their boat
was seen high and dry on the beach
on the opposite side from the town
The two men whom the lieutenant's

the report of the disaster at S!aunton
caused by Tuesday nights storm in
that part of Virginia. They say the
damage was done by flood rather than
by wind and that the flood was caused
largely by the bursting Of the dam Of
lake in the public park at Staunton,
causing the loss ofseveral lives at that
place, variously stated at from Ave to
eight. The unfortunate people drown

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-The West

diplomatic proprieties. It ripped off
some of the coping OF the White House
and lay most of the historic trees in
the White House grounds, including
the elm tree which Lincoln planted

fruitful field for their operation,) it
carried away part of the roof OF the
state department, where the official
documents are stored, but fortunate.
ly left them uninjured. The costly
roof Of the patent Office was picked up
and distributed ali around the neigh
borhood and skylights half an inch
thick were remorsely beaten in. The
naval observatory, and in fact every
other public building was more or
less damaged. Churches and theatres
suffered alike. The slate roof of the
Church of the Covenant, where Presi-
dent Harrison used to worship, was
blown down and each square slate, by
a curious freak, planted itself upright
in the grass parking which surrounds
the edifice. Still more disastrous was
the fate OF the New York Avenue
Presbyterian church which Bryan re-
Gently attended, sitting in Lincoln's
new. The whole tower Of the ediGce
was reduced 10 matchwood and per-
sons in search of souveniers had no
difficulty ia obtaining them. Nearly
every other church in the city suffer
ed more or less and their antipodes,
the theatres, were equally visited.
The total destruction Of property in
Washington city by the storm is esti-
mated at nearly half million dollars.
