THE FUR SEAL INDUSTRY.
British Commissioner Declares There
Is No Danger of Collapse In
the Near Euturc.


London, Jan. 17.-Mr. Gerald Barrett
HamiIton, one of the British commission
ers appointed to investigate the condi-
tions of seal life in Behring sea, has re-
Gently returned to London on the conclu
sion of his mission. The investigation was
made in consequence of the statement that
the seal herd was being wiped out by
peIagic sealing.
After spending six weeks on the Com
mander islands, and visiting Robin ISL
and, Mr.. Hamilton Joined Professor
Thompson on the Pribyloffs. There the
commission remained until the end OF DC
tcber.
Among other things, a census of every
seal on the island was taken This showed
that there were $4,000 seals on the PFlpy-
lofts and proved that the American eStl-
mates of previous years were much below
the mark. Another important piece on
work was the counting of dead pups. Ihe
Americans claims that, owing TO the KILL
ing at sea of breeding females, vast num-
bers of pups were left to starye@ 90 on the ISL
ands-they said as many as 5000 perished
in this way. IT was therefore highly I'M
portant TO know actually how many dead
her of dead-about L, l,OO0-that it was
proved had been killed by over-crowdlns
before the commencement of pelagic seal
ing, and about 10,00O had died later IN the
season.
The results of the Investigations on the
spot have tended to prove to the minds OF
the commissioners mat dltnouSH IL mas
been said the seal industry would collapse
in two years, there is no fear of such an
early extinction 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 decrease in this
years catch of seals is probably due. in
part, to the bad weather prevalent during
the early part of August. 1t does not
necessarily indicate decrease in the num-
ber of seals. On this point. opinion is di-
vided. The Canadians say the seals on the
Pribyloffs have increased in number. while
the Americans claim they have decreased.
The British commissioners are now pre-
pairing their report and they will probably
snrine In ali .probability a fresh com
mission will be sent this year in order to
report any change as compared with last
years condition.
