SEAL PRESERVATION.
No Fear of the Extinction of the
Seal Industry.

y ~ ST
London, Jan. 10. Gerald Barrett
Hamilton, one of the British commits
sioners appointed to investigate the
conditions of seal life in Boring sea,
has recently been to London on the
conclusion Of his mission to Robin
island. near Saghalien, where there is,
q small rookery.
Prof. Thompson went Independently
to the Pribyloff group.
After spending SIX weeks on the
Commander islands and Robin island
Mr.. Hamilton joined Prof Thompson
on the Pribyloffs, where the commits
sion remained until the end of October.
The Canadian and United States COM
missioners, Messrs. McCoun and Clark,
were also on the islands atfthe time.
The British commissioners say they
received most friendly treatment from
the Americans. Owing to the excep1
tional powers given to the Americans
by their government they were able to
do more than has been previously ac-'
colnplished. Among other things a.
census of every seal on the island was
taken which showed that there were
s142, 900. seals on the Pribylofs and
proved that the American estimates OF
previous years were much below the
mark.
The results of the Investigations on
the spot have tended to prove to the
minds of the commissioners that. al
though it has been said that the seal
industry would collapse In two years,
there is no fear of such an early ex-:
tinction Of the fur seal No doubt Is
entertained that now the question has
been approached in such an amicable
way, some measures of preserving the
seal will be adopted. The large de-
crease in this years catch of seals 10
probably due in part to the bad wealth
er prevalent during the early part ct
August. It does not necessarily indie
cate decrease in the number of seals.
On this point opinion is divided. the
Canadians saying that the seals on the
Pribyloffs have increased in number,
while the Americans claim they have
| decreased. 87

Daniel Mayer, the English musical
agent, says America is the only coun-
try besides England where "great
money is made by musicians. On the
continent charges for admission are
small, and there are not so many big
halls, consequently artists have to be
content with lesser receipts. A fee OF
ESQ is considered as something very
high indeed for a single performance
across the water" The musical life
is very uncertain one, it seems Only
those who have made really big names
make big incomes. A great many
''big" vocalists and instrumentalists
receive pupils, even while at the height
of their popularity. Musical suns are
apt to set very suddenly. Singers &C
out of fashion quickly and do not gel
into fashion again.

Saved From the Wreck.

New York journal.
Everything had been swept away in the
crash-stock of goods. business house, home
even the household furniture, and now
the ruined man and his wife stood with
drawn and blanched faces as the auctioneeT
sold to the crowd of grasping and curious
strangers their household goods and treas
ured heirloOms.
Presently he held up a rocking horse,
vorte plaything of their golden haired
boy, now alas, without even a roof to
shelter him.
The woman turned pale, and the man
started forward and cried hoarsely:
mot that. Oh, not that!'
A sudden silence fell upon the gay and
frivolous crowd of buyers and the auc-
tioneer with suspicion of moisture in
his eyes, turned and handed him the toy.
There were fathers and mothers among
that worldly and chattering assemblage
and that one touch of nature in the cry
forced from the parents heart softened
every soul present.
The man seized the faded rocking horse
and hurried, with the pale woman clingine
to his arm, from the room.
They went to another part of the house
and he sat the horse lovingly and tenderly
upon the floor.
How could you forget it?' asked the
woman reproachfully

WORK ON a WAGE SCALE
RATES THAT WILL BE ASKED BY
THE AMALGAMATED ASSOCIATION.
Slight Increases, but No Radical
Chnnges-Riot at Homestead
Other Labor News.

DETROIT, Mich May 22-With the ex-
ception OF the sheet-iron and tin-plate items,
the general wage scale of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
has practically been settled so far as the
association is concerned. The entire scale
has been revised and the rates of wages
on a few kinds of work have been slightly
increased, while on others there have been
reductions Owing principally to the condi-
ton of the times and the breaking up of
manufacturers trusts, no radical changes
have been made.
The following somewhat general changes
show the progress of revision to date: The
boiling rate on l 1-10-cent bar iron has been
left at $3.50 a ton, the same as last year.
The scale has been graduated up to $3.50 on
2-cent bar iron, while for boiling dephos-
phorized iron the rate is $110 a ton extra
Regarding the regulations for boiling, the
charge in the furnace should not be more
than $50 pounds per heat. Five heats are
to constitute days work on double time,
six heats on single time, and either four or
five heats treble or eight-hour time.
The scrapping scale on l 1-10-cent bar iron
has been reduced from $1.55 to $3.50 per net
ton, and the scale grades up to $lSo on
2-cent bar iron, which is the same base as
last year. There is an increase in the scale
on heating slabs and shingling. Last year
the rate was 90 7-10 cents, on a basis OF
l 1-10-cent bar iron, but this year the rate
agreed upon by the delegates is So cents
and the scale graduates up to 7712 cents on
2-cent bar iron. The scales on pipe iron
and skelp, bar and nail plate, kobbling,
those on wages in plate and tank mills IN
guide mills, ten-inch mills, hoop-iron mills
and cotton-tie mills remain unchanged In
the revision so far made. There yet remain
undisposed of the wage scales on sheet iron

OUT OF BUSINESS.
Accounts of the Third National Bank
of New York Transferred.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Yesterday the
Third National Bank practically went out
of business. The accounts are being trans
ferred to the National City Bank. In few
days the Third National will withdraw from
the clearing house officers of the last
mentioned bank deny that heavy losses
were sustained by the failure of out-of-
town correspondents. AS to the amount
the stockholders will receive when the
liquidation is completed, the officers decline
to speak.
A report current recently that New York
savings banks contemplated reducing the
rate of interest, now 4 and 312 per cent,
was denied to-day although managers of
banks say that the refunding of standard
securities at low rates of interest has de-
prived the banks of opportunities for prof
liable investments and that reduction of
the interest rate is inevitable, though it Will
not be made till July. 1t was inability to
profitably employ its deposits that led the
Third National to retire. The National
City Bank now has the heaviest deposits of
any bank in New York.
