No PcIactc SeaIinc.

Victoria, B. c., Jan. 1O.-In the opin-
ion of sealing men there will be no
pelagic sealing in Boring sea during
the coming season and only one
schooner, the Director, will go to the
japanese coast. What pelagic sealing
Will be done will be carried on along
the California, Oregon and British
Columbia coasts. This, together with
the prohibition of sealing by the
United States government, which will
prevent schoonerS from leaving Ameri-
can ports, should tend to increase the
price of skins, which has been low for
several years.

MAJ. HANDY DEAD.

Long and Painful Illness of the
Distinguished Journalist Ends.
Hotel Bon Air, Augusta, Ga, Jan. 10.
Maj. Moses z. Handy died Saturday.
The remains will be taken to Berlin,
Md, for burial. Maj. Handy was
stricken with illness while he was
preparing to leave Paris for America,
after completing his work as commits
Sioner to the exposition. Never a
strong man, the strain of his position
had told heavily on his constitution,
and he was advised by his physicians
to give up the more trying work Of
the mission, when he was overcome by
what appeared to be temporary weak
ness, which caused him to postpone
his departure. He was nervously
broken down and his condition was
rendered worse by impaired and
faulty heart action. The French ply
SicianS advised absolute rest, and he
remained in France for two weeks.
When he got to New York he sue
cumbed again, but pulled himself to-
gether and went to Chicago. In Chi
cagO he appeared to regain vitality,
but his pride and interest in his mis-
sion led him to plunge into the work
of preparing his report. 1t was no sur
prise to his friends to hear that he
had succumbed while on his way to
Washington, congestion of the lungs
and kidneys increasing the gravity or
the attack. He was removed to
Georgia, where he lost strength grad
ually, and while his friends hoped to
the end that his courage would save
him, they were warned that the
chances were all against his recovery.
