SEAL LIFE ON PRIBrLov ISLANDS.
Report OF Prof. Thompson. the Expert or the
Hritish ComtnisnIon.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Some months ago the
report Of President d.. S. Jordan, the head Of the
American Scientific Commission to the Seal
Islands last year. was submitted to the United
States Government. That of Prot. Thompson OF
the British Commission, addressed to Lord Sails
bury. has just appeared. Prof. Thompson does
not discuss the subject of pelsgic sealing, but
confines his report to the observations made Of
seal life on the Pribylov Islands. He does not
seem TO have discovered any material decrease
In the herd in 1896 or in 1895, but recognizes
and admits n marked decrease rs compared with
1892. He finds the breeding grounds in fine con.
dition, 30 far as abundance of male life was
concerned. and notes a large number OF idle bulls;
He comedies that more than one.half Of the dead
pups on the islands are due 10 the killing OF the
mothers in Behring Sea. This percentage Is less
than that assigned by DR.. Jordan. He speaks in
the male seals by tho lessees. and says that he
has mo recommendations to suggest for their
improvement" Although he denies that there
has been any alarming decrease of the herd, the
conclusion reached from his observations on tho
islands points Enthusiastically TO the necessity for
some modification OF the existing regulations.

CITIL SERVICE LAW QUESTIONED.
Public Printer Palmer Wants to Know whether
It ls Valid as Applied TO His once.

WARRINGTON, April 29.-According to the
statement Of a Republican member Of Congress.
Acknowledgement McKenna has been called upon
by Public Printer Palmer to render an opinion

charged that nearly all OF them were Democrats
at the time that President Cleveland brought the
Office within the jurisdiction Of the Civil Service
law. There is a statute relative TO the Govern
ment Printing Office which reads as follows:
at shall be the duty OF the Public Printer to
employ workmcn who are thoroughly skilled in
their respective branches OF industry, as shown
by trial OF their skill under his directions"
This law. passed in 1885, II, IL claimed, clearly
demonstrates that the employees of the Public
Printers establishment should be outside OF tho
pale of tho civil service: To the protests OF
replied that he has no discretion but to act
under the provisions of the Civil Service law,
unless II be declared by the Attorney-General to
be inapplicable to the printing office.
