SEAL DETERMINATION,

Only One Remedy.

SAN FRANCISCO, sept. MIR. c. n.
Townsend, a member Of the United
States fish commission, returned from
unalaska Sunday evening. Speaking
ot the work accomplished by the mixed
commission and the condition of the
seal herds, Mr.. Townsend said:
'Dr. Jordan, the leader of the Joint
commission, asked me to say to any
newspaper men that he knows of no
other cause 80 potent in the destrue.
tion OF great seal herd as pelagie, or
ocean sealing.
"The Behring sea was thrown omen
IN 1884, and 50 vessels entered and got
1000 skins, In 1895 81 vessels went
in and took over 10000 skins. This
year there are 20 YES els in Behring
sea, but they will not get more than
10000 seals, They are bound to make
light catch, simply because there are
not seals enough. The catch of the 30
vessels boarde between August 10
and rs amounted to 5000 skins, and
that is for about half the fleet at nearly
the middle Of the season.
"The rooSeries look bad, the pups
are already beginning to die because
their mothers have been killed while
outside the 6o-mile limit hunting fish
and preparing to return to the rools-
cries to suckle tho pups for four or
five days before going out again. The
average catch for each vessel is yearly
decreasing. This year it will be 200
skins u vessel smaller than In 1885,
There was light catch this season on
the Japan coast. II amounted probably
to $4,000 skins. do not think any
profitable catches will be made off that
coast
The Pribilof group of islands north
q the Alaskan archipelago Is the
great breeding ground for the Amer
lean herd of seal; the Commander
group OF islands. near Kamtchatka, on
the Asiatic size, is the breeding
ground for the seal herd Of that coast.
The seals from both these great rook-
cries migrate southwark in summer
without minglng, and spread over
great areas Of ocean. The AsiatiC
herd gets as far south as Yokohama
the American herd as far south AZ
Santa Barbara.
