MALE SEALS HAVE NO VALUE
ONLY ONE NEEDED TO EVERY
HUNDRED FEMALES.
After They Are Four Years Old Their
Skins Are Worthless-Proposition
to Brand Females.

New York, Jan. Professor Leopold
Stejneger, of the national museum, one
of the United States commissioners
sent to investigate the conditions of
seal life in the Russian water of Boring
sea, has returned to this city. Profess
sor Stejneger left this city in June and
his headquarters We're in the heart of
the Russian sealing districts.
Professor Stejneger said: THE de-
crease in the herds of seal which fire.
quent the Russian islands is great.
There is no other cause for this than
pelagic sealing. Take the mortality of
man, for instance, as compared with
that in the case of war. Add to this
the condition of not only the men but
the women, warning against and kill
ing one another, and it is easy to see
what increase there would be in the
mortality. There are only about $1,000
seals left on the Commander Islands
and still fewer on the islands in the
Okhotsk sea. The government kills
only males on the islands, so that if
this were kept up there would be no
extinction of seals. The males are of
no use after they are three or four
years old, as their skins are worthless
Only about one male is needed to every
100 females, so that when one of the
latter is killed, there being an equal
number of each in the beginning, the
decrease would amount to very little
as compared to the extinction carried
on by the pelagic sealers.
1.-THE Russian government has been
able to do nothing in the way of pre-
venting the decrease in seal life. Rus
STA has never claimed the right to stop
sealirg, as the United States has done
in the open sea. An agreement was
entered into, however, between the
Russian government and England
whereby pelagic sealing could not be
carried on within 80 miles of the is
land. This was no protection for the
seals, however, as they are liable to go
out $50 miles as 80 miles | think
branding would be a good thing for
females used for breeding purposes. I
am positively assured that the brands
would remain on the animal Just as
they do on horses. Two or three seals
which We're branded on the Pribiloff
Islands last year were discovered with
their brands on Them

GARY'S SECOND THOUGHT.
Adjourned Luetgert Trial Because of
the Holiday.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-The Luetgert muir
der trial was brought to a halt today.
Lawyer Harmon of the defense object
ed to the hearing of testimony today
on the ground that it was a legal holi-
day. Judge Gary, who had announced
yesterday that the trial would go on
today, had evidently reconsidered the
matter, for he sustained Attorney Har-
mons objection and adjourned court
until Monday. Judge Gary said that
while in his own opinion the fact that
New Years day was a legal holiday
did not invalidate the proceedings, the
supreme court had never passed upon
the matter, and there was a possibility
of the days proceedings invalidating
the work of months.
There is a possibility of the trial COM
ing to a sudden termination by reason
of the challenging of Juror Ferris, who
is charged with having expressed the
opinion that the defendant should be
hanged. The lawyers for the defense,
it is said, have affidavits to this effect,
and will present them to the court. No
action was taken today, however.
