| BALTIMORE, Oct 31.-The voters of
Maryland will, on Tuesday next, elect
| a State Comptroller a Clerk of the
Court of Appeals and a new Legislature
which, in turn, will choose a successor
! to United States Senator German. In
the city of Baltimore, a Mayor and a
new council will be chosen. The cam
paign which has been unusually bitter,
closed last night with mass meetings
all along the line and nothing now re-
mains but to cast and count the votes.
| The State offices to be filled are un-
| important, the main interest centering
in the legislative contest. If the Dem
ocrats win, Senator German will doubt
less be chosen for another term, while
| if the Republicans are victorious there
will be sharp fight for the seat among
those aspirants, with the chances
slightly in favor of the election of Con-
gresham Mudd. AS to the outcome of
the coming election, it can only be said
that the result is in great doubt, though
both sides claim to be able to count
enough votes in the Legislature to Sc
cure a majority on joint ballot and to
elect the United States Senator.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The body of

people reverently passed the casket and
looked upon the face of the dead phi

of man, women and children poured
into the hall The immense throng was
composed of representatives of all
classes, of all shades of life and of all
religious opinion. On every face was
stamped the unmistakable signs of sin
cere regret, while hundreds of faces
were drawn with suffering and pain.
To thousands of those who passed by,
Henry George was personally known,

There may be some other bids COM

his manner that he was quite sure that
the committee would have no compet-

Regarding the future of the road af-
ter it has passed into the hands Of the
Reorganization Committee, Mr.. Millar

largely upon who is the purchaser. 1t

I have known instances where roads
have been bought by Reorganization
Committees and these committees have
not been entirely prepared to assume
control of the road just at the instant,
the receivers have been allowed to run
the road for two or three months, of
course under the direction Of the own

made all things ready. they took hold
and managed the property themselves.

THE SEAL CONTROVERSY.
THE UNITED STATES OWNS THE
PRIBYLOFF ISLANDS.
Would Have q Perfect Right to
Exterminate the Herd if
It So Wished.

LONDON, Oct. 31.-Hermann Liebes,
of the North American Commercial
Company and one of the lessees of the
Pribyloff Islands, has made a state
ment in refutation of the case put
forward by Mr. Chamberlain, Secretary
of State for the Colonies, in his recent
dispatch to Secretary Sherman. Mr..
Liebes says in part:
There can be no doubt whatever that
the Pribylof Islands are legitimately
United States had an undoubted right
to grant a lease of the seal fisheries
upon the islands to the highest bidder,
viz: My company, and there can be no
further doubt that the United States
Government has an absolute right to
permit the lessees of the island TO kill
every seal frequenting the rookeries.
If America were to exercise its right to
kill off all the seals upon the Pribyloff
Islands, the whole seal herd would be
exterminated in less than a week and
the pelagic sealing in the Behring Sea
would be brought to summary end.
The object of America, however. is
to preserve and not to exterm1nate the
seal, though we may be ultimately
driven in self defense TO kill off the
seals as under present conditions seal
ing is not profitable. What is desired
by America and the lessees Of Pribyloff
Islands is that all parties interested,
both in land and ocean sealing, with
out a moments loss of time, confer to-
gether with the view of considering
whether or not some arrangement cam
not be made by which on fair and equit-
able terms to all parties, the herd can
be protected.
Il don't, myself, believe that any
solution can be found which does not
include as one of it's terms the abSo-
lutte prohibition of all pelagic sealing
This ought not to be a difficult matter
to arrange, having regard to what
assert as an undoubted fact, viz: That
pelagic sealing is not anad cannot be
under present conditions profitable. A
great deal has been said about Russia
and Japan. 1t is suggested that, as
they were not parties to the Paris
treaty and are not bound by any regu-
lations, and are said to be concerned
only in the seal fisheries of the west
ern and eastern coasts of the North
Pacific, their presence at any confer
ence would be out Of place and would
be only desired by America to secure
from these countries a majority vote
against British interests.
"The whole objection to Russia ap1
Japan being represented at anay con-
ference is, / venture to think most un-
reasonab able. There is no question of
voting in the matter, the conference
is merely with a view to arriving if
possible at some solution by which the
herd shall be saved from determination.
but so many difficulties and delays arise
that / very much fear that by the time
the conference has been held. there will
be no seals to confer about"
