Dear Sir:-Most painters insist that

Which is true: and better that

three: Devoe lead and zinc lasts six.
When paint begins to let In water,
then it is time to repaint. 1t may be
one year: it may be ten. Lead and
oil lasts three If we'll put on: lead and
zinc lasts six II ground t gether and

Bill to Reopen Negotiations to Be Re-
ported.

The ways and means committee of the
House today ordered favorable report on
the bill for a reopening of negotiations reia-
tive TO the fur seal herds of Alaska with
a view TO the preservation of the herds and
authorizing the killing of the greater part
of the seals unless the negotiations for the
successful. The preamble of the bill re-
cites that the regulations made in pur-
suance of the findings of the Bering sea
tribunal have utterly failed to so protect
and preserve these herds from indecent
killing and ruinous diminution of life after
seven years of faithful enforcement
Also that this killing of twenty to thir-
ty thousand mother seals at sea by alien
hunters every year entails the cruel and
indecent starvation to death on the is
lands of fifteen thousand TO twenty-five
thousand young pup seals every Septem-
ber and October" The bill empowers the
President to conclude negotiations with
Great Britain for a review of the regula-
tions in order ito preserve the fur seal
industry of Alaska for the good of all
mankind and abate the shameful order of
Killing now permitted and conducted
Pending the negotiations the bill au-
thoriZes a modus vivendi prohibiting the
killing of seals except for native food In
the event that the preservation of the herd
is not secured at the opening of the pela-
gic season of 1902, authority is given to
kill all the male and female seals on the
Pribylof Islands with the exception of ten
thousand females and one thousand males.
REPRESENTATIVES Mcclellan of New York
and Mccall of Massachusetts voted against
reporting the fur seal bill. Mr.. Mcclellan
stating that II was a remarkable measure,
proposing the killing of 10000 seals, appar-
entity through spite.

LEAVES OF ABSENCE.
Important Decision Affecting Census
Bureau Employees.


Controller Tracewell today rendered an
important decision regarding pay and leaves
of absence for employees Of the census bu-
reau, which will be OF general interest.
After reviewing the question in detail, in
his decision transmitted to Director Mer-
riam, he concludes:
1T is clear that employees in the census
office, other than those in the printing Office
are entitled only to pay during leave Of alb
sence actually granted and taken, and that
If no leave of absence is granted and taken
before the termination Of their service. no
question of payment can properly arise
I'm view of your statement that these
employees are not to be retained in the per-
manent census office 1t is not entirely clear
what you mean by asking II you would be
authorized to retain their names on the
roll until the expiration Of the leave due
them
If they are not appointed by you with
the approval OF the Secretary of the In
terror, as provided in section s of the act
of March 6, 1902, supra, their names can
not be lawfully retained upon the rolls af-
ter June 30, 1902, for the purpose of leave
or pay or anything else. They are then out
of the service, and leave of absence with
pay or pay for leave of absence to persons
not In the service is unauthorixed.

IN A MILE OF PELEE
DARING WORK OF NEWSPAPER
MAN IN MARTINIQUE.
Found One Valley Where $50 Dead
Bodies Lay Just as Blast
Left Them.

FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique, May 90
-Noon.-The crater of Mont Pelee has been
approached within one mile This feat was
accomplished Tuesday afternoon by George
j. kavanagh, an unattached newspaper
man. who had accompanied Professor Rob-
ert T. Hill, the United States government
geologist. on his expedition.
When Prof. Hill turned south, toward St.
Pierre, Mr.. Kavanagh continued on past
Morne Rouge. His route seems to have
been along or near the Gale Basse divide.
He says he descended from Morne Rouge
into the valley between Morne Rouge and
Mont Pelee. This valley was deeply strewn
with ashes. Mr.. Kavanagh was guided by
an aged negresS, to where an old foot patch
once led TO Lake Palmiste, near the sum-
nit of the crater. There an iron cross,
twenty feet high, was buried in ashes to
within a foot of its top. Before him
stretched upward the mountain slope, COW
cred with ashes, which soaked by the
volcano heat, looked like a cement side
walk. The whole mountain top was
shrouded IN smoke.
Forgetful of the explosion of the pre-
vlous night and the awful suddenness of
the outbursts, and tempted by the SEEM
ing1y easy ascent, he continued upward
and made photographs and rough sketches.
Mr.. Kavanagh found the valley filled with
ashes, and two great riffs, which he was
afraid to approach.
At in the evening he turned back, reach
ing Morne Rouge at about o'clock. He
had made new observations. and real
lied his danger only the next morning,
when occurred the greatest outburst since
Mont Pelees first eruption.
On Wednesday Mr.. Kavanaugh tried to
descend to ST. Pierre, but failed. He found
a little hamlet, in the valley near the
mountain, black with $50 dead bodice. They
were not corbonized. nor had their clothing
been burned off Probably this valley lay
near the inner edge of the zone Of blasting
flame.
George Kennan reported from Morne
Rouge this morning.
Two hours ago Prof. Angelo Heilprin,
president of the Philadelphia Geograp phical
Society, but here under the auspices of the
National Geographical Society, left with
Mr.. Leadbeater. to make three days
careful exploration and study Of the new
craters east and north.
