THE MARKET CoMPANY.s CASE.
The suit Not Withdrawn-A Statement
by Gen. Dirney.

The Suit Not Withdrawn-A Statement
by Gen. Birney.
The comments made by the District Com
missioners Saturday regarding the action
of the Washington Market Company ap-
pear to have been based on the incorrect
impression that the market company had
withdrawn its suit entirely The fact is
that the market company had merely with
drawn it's application for an injunction at
this time. pending decision of the case.
Gen. VIM. Birney, solicitor for the market
company, today explained the matter to
Star reporter as follows:
The suit to protect the farmers has not
been withdrawn: it remains in court on
bill, answer and joinder Of issue. Testi-
mony has not yet been taken. No conces-
sion, practical or other. has been made in
relation to b street. and as matters appear
now, none will be made. No point what
ever in the case mas been settled by the
court The legality of the police regula-
ton requiring the farmer to clean the side
walk and street of ali deposits, dirt and
litter. or produce of any kind, which he or
they shall have accumulated or placed
thereon during their occupancy OF such
space has not been passed On by the court
(the Commissioners might have gone
further and required each farmer to carry
paddle in his hand and a bag tied round
his neck for droppings). nor has The court
sustained the claim made by the Commits
sioners In their answer that farmers have
no right to sell their produce except from
door to door. and that If they wish to back
their wagons up to the curb and sell from
them they must pay license tax of $25.
The only pretext the Commissioners have
for rushing into print on the subject is
that 1 was courteous enough to waive my
restraining order in consideration of their
pledge made in open court by District
counsel and to seventeen members of the
Senate and House District committees In
writing n disturb 10 fa I
did in order to save about three days time
Of court and counsel in discussing point
which the Senate has already settled and
which the House will probably decide finally
on the first day of District business No
right of the farmers has been compromised.

KILL THEIR OWN YOUNG.
An Interesting Discovery in Resar
to the Fur Seal.

An Interesting Discovery In Regard
to the Fur Senl.
The Biological Society Of Washington met
Saturday evening in the assembly hall of
the Cosmos Club for the 27Oth time. After
routine business Professor E. w. Nelson
exhibited some interesting specimens of
rev birds from Mexico. Among those ex-
hibited were several quail. which. from
general appearance, are very closely re-
lated to the common partridge of this re-
g.on. New specimens of grouse, magpie
and whippoorwills were also shown.
A paper was read by Professor F. A.
Lucas en- the Natural Mortality Among
Fur Seals. A variety of causes of death
smong the seals was described. Inflam-
nation Of the kidneys, starvation, falling
from rocks or being crushed by falling
boulders were named as large causes of
death.
DR.. Lucas also found that the fur seals
destroys its own young. In the early life
of the newborn pups the parents trample
them to death to such an extent that out
of every 1000 born not half live This
discovery, added to previous discoveries
Sill ce 1880, which were that 10000 pups are
starved to death each year on the islands
by the fnhuman slaughter of their mothers
at sea, naturally gives promise Of little
happiness for the future generations of
seal pups. DR.. Lucas said he had exam
ined 11.OOO dead pup seals and compared
them with 10000 starved pups which had
also been examined. The paper drew out
q long discussion.
DIR. Merriam called out DIR. Macon Of the
Canadian seal commission of 1891. DIR.
Macon said he was glad to be supported by
DR.. Lucas discoveries in his own view of
the mortality of young seals. He had
seen actual demonstrations Of what DIR.
Lucas described.
DR.. Stejneger. a member of the present
United States seal commission. WAS in the
audience, and he said he was surprised at
DR.. Lucas statements. Only year ago
he had. in an official report. denied that
the parent seals killed their young. He
believed the trampling was done in sport
and that the young seals enjoyed 1t for the
sake of the exercise 1t afforded
Dr. True, another commissioner, said that
he had not discovered the evil effects seen
by DR.. Lucas, but he could not dispute
them. Mr.. c. H. Townsend another COM
missioner, supported the Lucas theory.
Mr.. H. w. Elliott said he had been look
ing at seal pups more than twenty-four
years. He had watched them every day
from their birth in June to their departure
great destruction of the young pups by
their parents. He had often seen Old bulls
fight, bowling the young pups right and
left and throwing them in every direction
as they fought, but rarely had he ever seen
a pup injured. He said the localities
where DR.. Lucas and DIR. Jordan had
counted crushed seal pups were sandy and
soft No signs of crushed pups had ever
been observed In the other rocky sections
of the islands. which are about sixteen
He did rot think that the parent seals
crushed their young.

DELAWARE'S NEW SENATOR.
An Interesting Session Of the Legisla-
ture Expected.

ture Expected.
The legislature of Delaware will meet
at Dover tomorrow, and much interest CEN
ters in the opening of tha session because
of the political muddIe in the state.
A United States senator is to be elected
to fill the vacancy caused by the refusal
of the Senate to seat Col. Henry A. Du-
pont republican, who claims to have been
elected at the last session Of the legisla-
ture.
The Delaware assembly is composed of
thirty members-twenty-on representa-
tives and nine senator's. At the recent
election the democrats carried New Castle
county, giving them one senator and six
representatives. the republicans electing
one representative in the county. In Kent
county both sides claim to have carried the
election, but the case is now in the court
of errors and appeals. On the face of the
returns the republicans carried the county.
but the democratic returning board threw
out several election districts on the ground
OF fraud. Kent county elects seven repre-
sentatives and one senator.
The democrats carried Sussex county and
have the certificates Of election, but the
Addfcks men have entered a contest.
The legislature Is judge of the qualifica-
dons of its members. and the democrats
may seat their Kent county men regardless
of the courts decision. The Sussex county
republican contestants will not be seated.
A hot fight is being waged among the
democrats for senator. The battle stiil ap-
pears to be that Of Willard Salisbury of
Wilmington against the field. He is an
attorney, aged about thirty-flve years. He
is q son of the late ex-Chancellor and
ex-senator Willard Salisbury. who repre-
sented Delaware in the United States SEN
ate during the war, and is a nephew of ELI
Salisbury. United States senator from

Mr.. Salisbury Is q sound money democrat,

tive-elect Handy. are making strong ef-
forts to elect John q. Gray, q silver demo-
crat. Ex-Representative e. L. Martin,

Mr. Money seems to think that the House

way IN passing a concurrent resolution that
the Independence Of Cuba should be recog-

Assistant District Attorney Laskey stated
that when the order Is made he will note
an appeal to the Court of Appeals. The
school authorities, explained Mr.. Laskey,
while not desiring to harass the boy by
long-drawn-out leg.u proceedings. do desire
that the right Of a court to inquire into or
rehear the matter Of q boys commitment
by the president of the board Of trustees CT
the reform school shall be passed upon by
the appellate court.
Chief Justice Bingham explained that he
had not thought 1t necessary to pass upon
the alleged unconstitutionality OF the Com
missioners governing such a commitment,
although he intimated that he believes the
law to be not unconstitutional. He had
merely decided to release the boy because
1t had not been shown during the hearing
before him that the boy was under sixteen
years of age when Col. Clay ordered his
commitment to the school, and because it
had not been shown that Mrs. Evans was
his legally appointed guardian.
The court advised the boy to select a
guardian during the day. and then released
him In the custody OF Mr. Cailun's coun-
eel until tomorrow morning.
