be secured. This it is proposed to wipe
out of existence. The return for such
sacrifice is the immediate cash value of
about $50, 900 marketable skins, worth
| probably much smaller value when, as
would necessarily be the case, it was un-
derstood that this would end the supply
of seal skins, and that they must then
go out of fashion.
Fourth-But, aside from the foregoing
considerations, the matter Is utterly
| condemned on humanitarian grounds.
An attempt to put it into execution
would bring down upon it's promoters
and the government everlasting con-
| tempt and disgrace. 1t would involve
| the slaughter and extinction of an inter-
esting form of animal life by one of two
| great nations, whose duty an interna-
| tional tribunal has Solemnly declared it
| to be to protect and preserve such life.
| Furthermore, this animal neither occu-
pies territory nor consumes food which
| has been or will ever be utilized by man.
| The method Of determination contem-
plated involves the slaughter of thou
sands of gravid or nursing females, de-
stroying their unborn offspring or con-
| signing them to slow starvation or wan
| ton slaughter. 1t is such slaughter car
ried on by pelagic sealing which is now
the sole cause of the threatened de-
structon of the fur seal herd and the
sole impediment to its restoration. The
United States has justly complained of
pelagic sealing on these grounds, and
these alone. BY this measure our gov
ernment would sanction and put into
execution in wholesale manner every
iphuman and wasteful practice of pela-
gic sealing.
In word, the proposed measure would
charge the government of the United
States with the task Of exterminating a
noble and valuable form of animal life,
by cruel, barbarous and wasteful
method, and all to no purpose. ToPass
such bill. not to say attempt to put it
into execution, would be a national dis
grace and a national calamity. 1t
would, in itself, be a confession of i'm
becility unworthy of civilized nation.

and if this were no more than a single
pair it might in time revive the fur seal
herd, and with it the whole fur seal Ques

posed that the government would keep
a force of men year after year to clear
the islands of seals.

explained. He believes that missions
should be self-supporting. In a measure
he has acted independently of the
church, and with such success as to
arouse considerable jealousy among cer-
tain other missionary leaders. Since he
was made bishrop of Africa he has es-

which he has expended have been OBJ
tanned entirely through his personal So
licitation.
These stations he has now turned over
to the church, which will conduct them
upon his lines. The old gentleman will
not say that he is satisfied to give up
the work. He will only say that he has

the present lease of the islands, would
be worth in tax alone an annual income

it's present depleted condition the herd
has the past season yielded 10000 skins,
or a revenue of 100000 Under proper

still remains would insure it's restoration
to former conditions. The property rep

Even young men often break down on

of his travelling was done in Pondoland,

mo. I think the black race has too
much vitality. There will be black men
as long as there is an Africa. The
breath of civilization is death to the
Indian, but not to the black man."
WHERE HE BEGAN WORK
The bishops first missionary work was
done in California. He understood the
manners and the nature of rough men.
AS miner he once converted expressed
it: Dominic Taylor makes you get re-
ligion without offending you in the
least" After his California experience
the bishop worked in Australia, New
Zealand. the South Sea islands, India,
South America and Africa.
In India in particular he did a great
work. There he was the first to estab-
lish the mission to the Eurasians. The
Eurasians are half-caste, with white
fathers and native mothers. The Indians
will not receive them in their castles and
the white people will not associate with
them. Consequently they fall between
two stools. They are self-supporting.
The bishop saw the advantage of using
them in mission work, because they
could speak both English and Hindoo.
and established many Eurasian self
supporting churches. The Eurasians, in
turn, have been able to convert many
natives. The missionary societies of the
Protestant churches find their paths
thorniest when endeavoring to convert
South American Catholics. The most
successful missions of all the churches
were those which the bishop established
in Chill. where there are now seven self
supporting churches.
what race have you found in your
travels to be the most easily converted to

The principal objections against the
proposition recently made in congress
for the determination of the fur seal
herd of the Pribilof islands by slaughter
ing it in it's breeding haunts are:
First-Such a measure could not be
put into effect. The seals are never all
present at one time on the islands. They
are coming and going all the time from
the first of June until the first of Novem-
ber. In the breeding season, when the
greatest number of seals are on shore,
less than half of the actual number are
present. At this time the breeding
seals cannot be handled in any way. 1t
would take a regiment of men to move a
harem bull from his post. To kill off
the breedings seals would necessitate the
shooting of each individually. The
grounds they occupy being close to the
waters edge, many must escape. 1t is
aot certain that all classes of seals come
10 the islands at all. To perform the
work of destruction in a single season
would probably be necessary to continue
the work through several seasons to
complete it, if, indeed, this could be done
at all.
Second-The measure would not attain
the end sought, namely, settlement of
the fur seal dispute. AS has already
been stated, 1t would probably not be
possible to biologically exterminate the
herd. A hunted remnant would remain.

The sensational method proposed in a
bill introduced by Representative Johnson
of North Dakota for settling forever the
much vexed seal question does not meet
with favor among the experts. No seals
no quarrels between the United States and
Canada, argues Representative Johnson.
Therefore let us slaughter all the seals and
with their furry little hides bury fathoms
deep the bone of contention between two
great nations. Professor David Starr Jor-
dan, president of Stanford university, who
was the leading spirit for the United States
government in the seal negotiations last
autumn, strongly opposes Mr.. Johnson's
drastic measure and he tells why in no un-
certain way, as will be seen by the follow

Brought Back His Prisoner.

The Deadwood Independent Of last
Saturday says: Matt Plunkett, sheriff Of
Lawrence county, arrived this forenoon
from Sioux City with Howard Smith,
who was implicated in the theft Of l..
p. Stones cattle, and who was arrested
at Sioux City Immediately after the dis
covery that the cattle had been stolen.
Smith gave his name to the officers in
Sioux City as Finch, but he is known
up here, having been in Col. Stones
employ for the last four months. He
was in charge Of the colonel's ranch,
near st. Onge, and that was what made
it so simple a matter for he and his
confederates to drive the cattle to town
and get off without detection. Col.
Stones accidental visit to the ranch.
and the meeting Of the men with the
cattle at Long Pine, by John NJ. Barrett,
who works for Mallory Sons & thinner
man, commission men. at Sioux City,
was all that frustrated their schemes.
Smith is merely a boy, 20 years o d, but
he seems to be long enough in expert
ence, for not a word can be obtained
from him relating 10 the stealing Of the
cattle and his connection with it. He
will neither affirm nor deny the charge.
His parents live in Iowa
Col. Stone is still in Sioux City. going
through the red tape process necessary
to the recovery Of the proceeds Of his
c~attla, and he may be there several days
yet, as the money from the sale is
tangled up in some way.
Sheriff Plunkett left this afternoon for
Sheridan, TO ascertain whether or not
the negro held at that place is Moore,
the murderer. If he is he will be
brought back here Immediately. Mr..
Plunkett says he had just thirty minutes
in Sioux Falls, and during that time he
had to take Dudley up to the penitenti-
airy and get back to take the train for
Sioux City. At the latter place he was
obliged to wait until yesterday for re.
QUESTION papers for Smith, before start
