David Starr Jordan. of Stanford University,
reached here to-day from his labors in Behring
Sea on behalf Of the United States Government
To The Chronicle" he gave the following strong.
signed statement Of the conclusions which he
reached after a study of the sealing question:
The important result Of this years work as
performed by myself and the excellent assist
ance allowed me by the Government. is that of
fixing absolutely the rate and causes Of the de-
cline Of the seal herd There is but one cause
the indscriminate slaughter Of the female seals
which is a necessity in pelagic sealing The
herd is now reduced to less than one-ffth Of its
number in 1888 when the slaughter began. 1t
will continue to decline, II not another fe-
male be killed until 1901 The only remedy lies
in the absolute prohibition of pelagc sealing
and the recognition of ownership Of property
rights in seals on the part OF the nations which
possess the islands on which they breed Our
observations show that the American contention
as nranered nv Professors Merriam and Menden-
hall. and presented to the Paris Tribunal in 1873
was wholly correct in every important detail, so
far as the fur seals are concerned
our error was twOfOld. % In claiming Ben
