SEALING EXPERI,S STATElIENT. Opposed to Immediate Killing of All
 Senls-A Nucleus,


 Washington, Dec. 13.-Professor Da- vid &, J. Jordan, president of the Stan ford university, who was the leading expert for the United States govera- ment in the seal negotiations here last autumn, has given his verdict strongly against any such proposition as that presented in the bill introduced by Rep resentative Johnson of North Dakota, looking to the immediate killing of all of the seals In the seal islands as the readiest manner in which to prevent further friction between the United States and Canada. The report of Dr. Jordan, showing in a preliminary way the results of his Investigations in Der ing Sea during the past season, shortly will be published and meantime the fol- lowing extracts show his opinion:
 ''The fur seal is the noblest of all the animals. of the sea. Though sadly re- duced in numbers, a nucleus of the fur seal herd is still left. Under favorable conditions it can be restored. The Pribyloff herd once yielded 100, 900 skins annually, worth $2000,000 or more, and without injury to itself This would represent a cash value of $25, 5,000,000. If properly projected it will again reach this value. To slaughter the herd our selves, because it's preservation is beset With diplomatic difficulties in which the fault has not all been on one side. would be confession of impotence un- worthy of a civilized nation. It would transfer to the United States alone and for all time the odium for the 'destruc- tion of the fur seal herds.''
