MR.. HAMLIN ADDRESSES
THE BISHOP CLARK CLUB.

The Bishop Clark club of Grace church
to listen to an address by former Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury Hamlin,
of Washington, ID. C. There was large
attendance and the lecture was of the
deepest interest 10 those present, the Sub
ject being the story of the speakers in
ing an official visit there in the interest
of the government
After expressing his pleasure In being
the guest OF the club Mr.. Hamlin said
that the reason that he was sent on the
various missions for the United States
government was because of the relations
that exist between this country and the
countries he had visited.
He then spoke as follows:
There is the closest relationship be-
tween this country and Canada. Canada
is the best customer that we have. Last
year Canada paid TO this country for
goods received of us $4,000 90, while
we sent into Canada only si5 00O. 900 as a
return for what we purchased.
1T can readily be seen. then, that there
is a ratio of about three TO one on the
returns Of our business with Canada.
For some time past there has been dis
puto over the sea fisheries in the Berlng
Sea- and In 1894 IL was decided that
there must be an actual investigation Of
the situation and the president delegated
me TO go TO Alaska and make an inspec-
ton.
Accordingly I set out for San Fran
cisco TO make my start for the islands,
tnat were a IL days journey from the
mainland after having made the run TO

Sitka. We sailed out into the ocean 1900
miles TO the fisheries. and still we were
on the soil OF the United States; still the
old flag was the emblem of authority.
The ship which was awarded 10 me
as an official representative Of this great
country was revenue cutter that was
not as large as some of the private yachts
that you see here in your bay in the
summer time, and i'm this l was TO make
such a long sail, and through the heavy
seas OF an inopportune season. The pros
pect of representating the United States
under these circumstances was not all
that had arisen TO my mind in the first
dreams of my trip.
ION arrival at my destination / found
that there are millions of seals that ar
rive in the early summer and leave In
the early fall. and that the skins OF
these seals are OF immense value. When
this country purchased the Territory of
Alaska IL was at a cost Of about 81 900 900,
and IL mas already received as rental
for the seal fisheries return of about
sl2. .0O0, 600, so IL can be seen how inn
portant the industry really is. But other
countries began killing the seals on the
high seas and claiming the right TO do so.
Ii was at last decided that the matter
should be left to arbitration, and so
(although We claimed our right with the
precedent OF Russia) the matter was
taken TO Paris to be decided. IL was
decided that on the high seas any one
might kill the seals, but there were minor
restrictions placed on the seal hunters" )"
Leaving Alaska Mr.. Hamlln told OF an
official trip TO Japan and something Of
his experiences there, notably his inter-
view with the Emperor of Japan.
At the next meeting of the club Profess

be the speaker.
