sTRTNEGBR's REPORT.
The Decrease in the Seal Herds is Very
Great.

New York, Jan. 1.-Prof. Leopold SteJ.
meyer. OF the national museum, one OF
the United States commissioners sent to
investigate the condition of seal life In
the Russian waters of Behring sea, has
returned to this city. Prof. Stejneger
left here in June, and his headquarters
were in the heart of the Russian sealing
districts. He said:
THE decrease in the herds Of seals
which frequent the Russian islands is
great. The cause Is pelagic sealing. Take
the mortality OF man, for instance, as
compared with that in the case of war.
Add to this condition of not only the men
but the women, warning against and kill-
ing one another, and It is easy 20 see
what increase there would be IN the NOR
tally There are about $4,000 seals lert
on the Commander island, and still fewer
in the okhotsk sea. The government
kills only males on the Islands, so thav
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 lU
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 little as compared to the ex-
+ tinction carried on by the pelagic sealers.
The Russian government has been able
to do nothing in the way Of preventing
I the decrease in seal life. Russia has
never claimed the right to stop sealing as
the United Stakes haas done. ri the open
sea. An agreement was ertered into, how
ever, between Russia and England where
by pelagic sealing could not be carried
on within 90 miles Of the island. This was
