Is Enough to Exterminate
the Fur Seal
A PRIBYLoFF ISLAND LESSEE
REFUTEs THE CASE ADVANCED
BY CHAMBERLAIN
Any Protective Measures Must In
clude the Absolute Prohibition
Of All Pelagic Sealing
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
LONDON. Oct. 81. = Herman Liebes
of the North American Commercial COM
pany, and one of the lessees Of the Priby-
loft islands, has made a statement in
refutation Of the case put forward by
the colonies, in his recent dispatch to
Secretary Sherman. Mr.. Liebes says in
part:
There can be no doubt whatever that
the Pribyloff islands are legitimately
owned by the United States, and the
United States had an undoubted right
to grant lease of the seal fisheries upon
the islands to the highest bidder, viz,
my company, and there can be no fur
ther, doubt that the United StateA gov
ernment has an absolute right to per-
nit the lessees Of the islands to kill every
seal frequenting the rookeries. If Amer
lea were to exercise it's right to kill off
all the seals upon Pribyloff islands, the
whole seal herd would be exterminated
in less than a week, and the pelagic
sealing in the lAering sea would be
VI iOA6hS " a Siius iAS wv
ject of America, however is to preserve
and not to exterminate the SEAL though
we may be ultimately driven in self
defense to kill off the seals, as under
present conditions sealing is not profit
able.
What is desired by America and the
lessees of the Pribyloff islands is that all
parties interested, both in land and
ocean sealing, without a moments loss
of time, confer together with the view Of
considering whether or not soSle ar
rangement cannot be made by which,
under terms fair and equitable to all
parties, the herd may be protected.
do not, myself, believe that any solution
can be found which does not include as
one of its terms the absolute prohibi-
tion of all pelagic sealing. This ought
not to be difficult matter to arrange
having regard to what l assert to be a
fact, viz, that pelagic sealing is not
and cannot be under present conditions,
profitable. A great deal has been said
about Russia and Japan. 1t is suggest
ed. that as they are not parties to the
Paris treaty. and are not bound by any
regulations, and are said to be con-
cerned only in the seal fisheries of the
western, and not the eastern, coasts of
the North Pacific, their presence at any
conference 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 and Japan being
represented at any conference is, VEN
ture to think, most unreasonable. There
is no question of voting in the matter.
The conference is to be held merely with
view to arriving, If possible, at some
solution by which the herd shall be saved
from determination, but so many diff
culties and delays arise that very much
fear that by the time the conference has
been held there will be no seals to confer
about"

A BOND DEAL
Santa Cruz City Claims to Have Been
Buncoed

SANTA CRUZ, Oct. 31.-The long
standing bond suit in which much in
terest is taken here will come up for
hearing in the United States circuit
court at San Francisco next Tuesday
The title of the case is Waite VS.. the
City of Santa Cruz, and upon the re-
suit will depend the validity of the re-
funding bonds amounting to s360,00O.
The bonds were originally issued for the
construction of waterworks and sewer
system, and purchasers We're found for
them by Coffin & Stanton, New York
bond dealers and bankers. Three years
ago these brokers proposed to take up
the old bonds and to give new ones
therefor at lower rate of interest and
more convenient terms of payment.
Coffin & Stanton did not pay any cash
for the bonds as required by law and
soon afterward failed, claiming to have
disposed of the refunding bonds. The
city claims it was defrauded and de-
clines to pay interest or principal of the
bonds.

SCARED INDIANS
Are Rapidly Leaving Their Ancient
Hunting Grounds


DENVER, Col, Oct. S1.-A special to
the Rocky Mountain News from Rife,
Col, says: Game Commissioner Swan
and Warden ]. T. Mclean returned here
today from Meeker. Mr.. Swan went
from Meeker to Yellow creek, thirty
five miles west of Meeker, where he met
Warden Mclean and Sheriff Wilbur of
Rio Blanco county, who had been as far
west as the Utah line on their return up
river. They reported that the Indians
were getting out of the country as fast
as possible. Warden Mclean and Sher-
iff Wilbur had been riding the country
for four days, notifying the Indians 10
leave. and when the officers started back
to Meeker the Indians were all moving
out. These officers, as we'll as the set
tiers along the river from Rangley to
Meeker, are satisfied that the Indians
have left for good and very little nm
easiness is felt on the part of the set
tiers. Wardens have been stationed
along the Utah line to report the first
appearance of the Indians.

pointed supervisor of Indian schools.
There are five of these officers. Mr..
Smith has been connected with the
Indian service for many years as agent
and inspector, and lately as assistant
commissioner Of Indian affairs. The
record he made in the administration of
the latter Office actuated the adminis-
tration in retaining him until last
month, when it was expected he would
be awarded with the appointment of
special agent, which fell to friend of
General Fairbanks.

CONSUMPTION CURE
To Be Manufactured for Free Dis
tribution

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31.-It is pro-
posed by the Cooper medical college and
persons who are convinced of the eff
cacy of DR.. Hirschfelder's oxytuber-
culine in the treatment of consumption
to manufacture the compound for free
distribution. No definite plans have
been decided upon, but it is thought that
the best channels of distribution will be
the health departments of the cities and
public hospitals.
DR.. Hirschfelder has given his sane
ton to the movement and will reserve
no proprietary rights. DR.. REILLY of the
Chicago health department has written
to DIR. Hirschfelder stating that he
hopes soon to be able to use the con-
sumption cure for the benefit of the
poor of his city.

"CARLSBAD"
Taken at Home.

Prof. Hlawazck has proven by
clinical experiments, that the
Waters of Carlsbad act in the
same manner when taken at home
as if taken at the spring, and their
remedial action is not impaired
by export. The temperature can
be given them at will. Even
when taken cold the effect is the
same, only depending on the pa
tents disposition or idiosyncrasy.
The results obtained by Prof.
Illawazek, and published in his
extensive works on Carlsbad,
proved beyond a doubt, that the
Carlsbad Mineral Water as ex-
ported in bottles, will act pre-
cisely the same as when taken at
the spring.
Beware of limitations. The gen.
uinc Carlsbad Water and Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt must have the seal
of the City of Carlsbad and the
signature of "Eisner & Mendelson
Co. sole agents, New York." on
every label.
