Experts on Seals

Among the things agreed upon by
the American and Canadian experts
respecting the sealing controversy are
these: T.sa.:s while land killing of
males does little harm, excessive
pe.agic killing of the females. which
alc cr.enest killed by that method
whnl involves indiscrlMinate slaugh-
ter, brings about an actual decline in
the herd. that excessive pelagic seal
ing has led to a reduction in the herd !.
that pelagic sealing has. of late, fallen
off in greater ratio than the herd mas,
thus producing a tendency toward
equilibrium in numbers: that in esti-
mzsing the future conditions OF the
herd ahei-e must be taken into consid-
Grafton reduction in the number OF sur
viying pups caused by the pelagic
catches of 1S94-95 that the herd is not
in. danger of actual determination so
long as it's haunts on land are pro-
tected and the protected ZGne MAN
tanned; that both land and sea killing
new Weld an inconsiderable profit
either to the lessees or to the pelagic
sealers themselves.
Evidently the American experts
compromised not a little in arriving at
joint report. According to statistics
complied by American officers the
pelagic catch fell off nearly one-half
from 1896 to 1897. The catch of seals
in Behring sea this year was at ratio
of Is by the British to by the Ameri-
cans and in all waters the6rasio was
9 TO 1. Not only has this pelagic sal
ing rendered our sealing operations on
land, operations that do not injure the
herd. improbable. but it has been car
ried so far Canadians themselves are
acquiring small profit. Canada has
been acting out the part of the dog
in the manager. 1t is time she agreed
to a settlement of the question now
that she has prevented us from profit
ing by our seal rookeries and herself
has killed the goose which has been
laying gold eggs for her. Nor do we
see what good excuse she has for ex-
acting settlement of other questions in
connection with this. though such a
settlement properly made would be
gratifying.

Those papers that We're so eager to
announce opposition to the election of
Senator Hanna to complete the term
on which he is now serving are begin
ming to hedge, and it is we'll that they
should. There is no reason to doubt
but what Senator Hanna will have
every Republican vote in the Ohio
Legislature. This is his due. He was
una ntmously endorsed for the United
States Senate by the Republican state
convention, and will, undoubtedly. re-
ceive a similar endorsement of the
Republican legislative caucus. Under
such circumstances no man with any
claim to being Republican can well
afford to oppose hinI-and we do not
believe that any will attempt to do
50. Senator Hanna has shown him
self an able party leader. and during
his short service in Congress has i'm
pressed himself most strongly and
favora bly, upon his associates there.
His election by the Ohio Legislature
to the position lie now holds will be a
mcrited recognition of his eminent
qualifications for the place. and will
undoubtedly come in due time.

The Australian Baseball Team.

In the quietest manner possible and
without the least sign of welcome there
calno to this country recently the first
team of baseball players that has ever
visited America from foreign country.
There were Is of them, and they had
como some 10000 miles from Austria
lila not to show Americans how the
national game should be played, but
rather to pick up ideas and learn the
latest tricks Of the pastime as practiced
by the expert players in this country.
They are modest set of fellows, these
wiry, sunburned colonials, and perhaps
that accounted for their coming SO
quietly.
A. G. Spalding, the old time ball
player, recently expressed the hope
that the baseball players, managers,
club officers, presidents and baseball
public of this country would extend the
hand of welcome to the first organized
foreign baseball team that has ever viz
tied this country, and that an effort
would be made to make their tour one
of pleasure as we'll as profit. New
