SETTLED THE QUESTION.
eesl Experts Agreed to Facts IN That
They Cannot bse Brought Up Again.
statement by Sir Louis Davies.

Toronto. Nov 27.-Sir Louis X. Davies
at a meeting Of liberals here last night
referred to his recent visit To Washing
ton 10 attend the seal conference He
said: The seal experts settled the
question OF fact in such way that
hereafter IL cannot be opened up, We
know exactly where we are. We know
that the seal herd has diminished In an
extraordinary degree In late years. but
We know that pelagic sealing has di-
minished more than the herd and in a
far greater percentage. We know, too
as a declaration OF experts OF. both
countries. that there Is no immediate
danger of the extinction of the herd
and that the kind OF pelagic sealing
practiced by Canadian fishermen does
not imperil or threaten the existence 0f
the herd. and we knew further that, as
a commercial venture, IL does not pay
either country. That is about the sum
and substance of the case"
Continuing. Sir Louis said: 1T was
pointed out 10 the Americans that Can
ada had taken her stand in reference
to the tariff: had proclaimed and given
effect to a preferential trade arrange
ment and that the representatives could
not enter into any agreement which
should directly or indirectly prejudice
the people Of preference. They were
told that the right To catch seals. being
a national right. yindicated by the great
Paris tribunal. as a legitimate industry
on the part Of British subjects. IL could
not be disposed of for a mere money
consideration: that Canada did not sell
national rights for money, but that her
representatives were willing that IL
should be treated as one OF a number
Of those large questions and put. as IL
were, In the hodge podge I'm the settle

and such articles as barley. eggs pota-
toes and other things of that kind, an
arrangement might be made which
would be- mutually profitable and satis-
factory to both countries. Sir Wllfred
Laurier had not surrendered an iota OF
the Canadian rights or Canadian priv
ileges."

TOWNS WERE SWEPT AWAY
Thousands of Lives Were Lost
in the Typhoon.
OVER THE PHILIPPINES
Ravaeee OF Tidal Waves and Terrific
Wind-Five Hundred Europeans,
Six Thousand Natives Perish.
Vessels Wrecked.

San Francisco. Nov. 21.-A typhoon,
which swept over the Philippine ISL
ands on the 9th of October. Was the
cause of one Of the worst disasters re-
ported from the Southern ocean in
many years. II not in the history of
that section OF the world. Thousands
OF lives We're lost, including many
Europeans, and the damage to property
was something appalling. Telegraphic
advices concerning the calamity have
been very meager The difficulty OF
getting news from the island Is great
AT any time and owing To the remote
ness of some of the provinces visited by
the hurricane, full details of the storm
did not reach Hong Kong until Nov. l..
The steamer Gaelic from the Orient
to-day brought letters and papers
which contain accounts OF the ravages
Of the tidal wave and wind. Whole
towns were swept or blown away. Fully
800 Europeans Were killed. and II Is
estimated 6,000 natives persisted. The
storm first struck the island at the bay
Of Santa Paula In the province OF Sa-
mar. II devastated the entire southern
poiilon OF the lslanu. on tne l-tn tne
hurricane reached Levte and struck the
capital at Tacloban with great fury. In
less than half an hour the town was a
mass Of ruins. The natives were panic
stricken. Four hundred of them were
buried beneath the debris of wrecked
buildings and l2o corpses of Europeans
were recovered from the ruins when the
native authorities instituted search
for the dead.
Reports from the southern coast were
received, which claimed that a score Of
small trading vessels and two Sidney
traders were blown ashore and their
crews drowned. The sea at Samoa
swept inland nearly a mile. destroying
property valued at several million of
dollars and causing wholesale deaths
among the natives.
