PribflOf Islands Expcrtence.

THAT these considerations are not mere
fanciful theories is plainly shown by our
experience on the Pribilof Islands As soon
as the falling off in the catch of the bach
eiors called attention to the decrease of
the seal herd halt was called; the killing
On land was reduced to minimum. The
temporary officials were then under the
same erroneous impression as the Russian
authorities now, viz, that the calamity con-
sisted in the decrease of the bachelors. and
they overlooked that it was the females.
and they only, that needed being looked
after. For several years only fraction OF
tie killable seals Was allowed to be taken
What was the result? A single additiona,
female on the rookeries? No; loss to the
iessees and the government of the bacnel-
crs spared: corresponding gain to the
pelagic sealerS; a deplorahle superabun-
AID numerous pups tramplcd to death soon
after their birth. America has thus paid
very dearly for her blunder. Are the Rus
SLAMS going to repeat it?
1t is quite possible that they may quote
the example of Robben Island. Thus in
1881. only l5o skins were taken; then, in
1892, none; but in 1885, 100. Apart from
the fact tnat raiding Oh land took place, /
will only call attention to the fact that
until within the last couple of years the
killing on Robben Island was not so rigidly
restricted to the males as is usual on the
other rookereS.
1 have formerly favored total prohibition
of killing on land one year. 1t must be
membered that the recommendation in
question was penned in 1895. At that time
the number of males on Bering Island was
more disproportionate than at present:
consequently it seemed more desirable to
increase the number of bulls. At that time
we did not have the experience from the
South Rookery, which shows that much
smaller number Of males is sufficient than
has hitherto been held possible.
II may add that the recommendation was
made upon the surpostiCn of a temporary
Suspension of pelagic sealing oaly, and that
it was thought necessary to make some
such concession to the pelagic sea!er in
order to obtain this suspension. Since 1S9.,
we have learned a great deal, and progress
is only possible if we recognize and re-
nounce our past mistakes.
1T can now be asserted with certainty
that zapuska of five years, or of one year,
will retard the rehabilitation of the rook-
cries not only for many years the "a
puska lasts, but until the blunder be cor
rected by a wholesale killing off Of the su-
perf1uous bulls resulting at the end of the
zapuSka."

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
.'Only a Farmers Daughter" the SEN
sational comedy drama, i'm a prologue
and four acts, was presented last nighl
at the Grand Opera House by Paytcn's
comedy company. The drama was ex-
ceptionally well rendered, and the au-
dience was with the players from the
start 10 finish. Baby June, as Justine's
daughter. captured the hearts of the
audience by her sweet young face and
fauHless portrayal of the character.
The specialties were also very enter
tanning The Paytons give good
show, and Wilmington people prove
their appreciation by the large attend
ance. During the first act OF the play
an escaped convict appears. and his
presence ON the stage caused some ex-
ctement in the audience, as a young
woman was s0badly frightened that she
became hysterical She finally over
came her nervousness and remained to
the end of the performance without
further discomfort.
