sealers answer the remark attributed TO
Professor David Starr Jordan that "it is
nonsense to speak OF branding driving the
seals away"
They say that the seals are not in fiuenced
so much by the branding as by the offen-
sive smell of the chemicals used to kill
the stencil rising from the branding opera
tions, and that old hands in the industry
are agreed that perseverance in this sum-
mer's branding methods will surely de-
populate the rookeries where it is carried
on. Seven sealing. schooners returned to-
day, all with fair takes for the season.

WATSONVlLLE. CAL, Oct. 7.-Ahout
$3.50 O'Clock this morning the frebell rang
out an alarm for e fire which proved to be
one OF the most serious which this city
has had for several years The fire broke
out in the barn to the rear of Rilovich
Brothers packing-house. near the South
ern Pacific depot, and between Third and
Fourth streets. 1t spread rapidly to the
large two-story barn of A. L. Bixby on the
Third street side and to the Rilovich ap-
pie warehouse on the Fourth-street side.
When the Fire Department. resched the
scene the long line of packing-houses and
barns, extending over half the distance
between Third and Fourth streets, was
ablaze. and it was impossible to do any,
thing except contine the fire to the burn
ing buildings. Fortunately there was no
wind and the work of Keeping the fire con-
fined was not a difficult task with the
streams the engine was furnishing. Other
packing, houses, the three-story Railroad
Exchange, the depot build ings and many
residences were near, and if there hau
been breeze the fire would have swept
over large territory.
The home or the Rilovich brothers was
damaged considerably by fire and water.
their pa cking- house and 1000 boxes of :
pies destroyed, and besides they lost their
barn, winters hay, four horses, two large
fruit wagons and several thousand boxes
Their loss will probably aggregate about
$4,000. on which there was an insurance
OF $4300-$2000 in the Scottish Union Com
pany, and $1,000 divided between the
Royal Exchange and Lancashire COM
panies.
a. l.. Bixby's loss is about $3.50, with
$500 insurance. Two horses were con-
sumed by the flames in his barn.
The origin ot the fire is supposed 10
have been the wo-k of a firebug. The
evening previous an attempt was made to
fire property in the adjoining block, but
before the incendiary could accomp plish
his work he was noticed and made his
escape and the fire was pul out

Lands chances grow stronger every day.
This year seems unusually favorable to
independent candidates. There are now
seven or eight who have filed their declar-

among the claimants the following
stand pre-eminent: Dr. Tebbits, who
will test the right of Wachhorst when

against De Ligne occupying the City
Attorney reservation; Walter Basseit
declares that Charley Paine and Daniel
Flint are not doing the necessary work to

Lipman stands well among the business

OF elghty-six passengers on the steamer

from Dutch Harbor to ST. Michael Barnum
says:

on which there was not comforta bic stand
ing room, to say nothing of having to go
the entire time without sleep. Although
the distance from Dutch Harbor 10 ST.
Michael is but 450 miles, ten days were
consumed in making the trip, owing to a
strong wind which sprang up when we
were within forty miles of st. Michael
and blew us so far out that we could
plainly see the Siberian coast.
The schooner shipped water until
everything and every body was soaked,
and 1t took four and half days 10 get
back to st. Michael. Owing 10 the
crowded condition of the schooner lher e
was actual suffering aboard, and OH reach
ing ST. Michaels we were worn out, and
the sight we met there only added to our
disgust. The result was that several of
US took the first opportunity to get out"
Barnum said there had been no news
direct from Dawson City received at ST.
Michael Tor four weeks previous 10 his
leaving, and no news can possibly be
brought by river before next summer as
ice was already forming in the salt water
at the mouth OF the river ana The fresh
water must certainly have been frozen TO
considerable thickness at that time.
"In month from now" said he, II do
not believe there Will be 100 persons LETT

preparing to come back. A great many

Regarding the steamer Eliza Anderson.
