Seizure of Seal SkIna.

About $4,000 worth of seal skins
were seized at Seattle, Wash. by the
local United States customs officers.
The capture was made aboard the
schooner j. Il. Ward, which arrived
some two days ago from Unalaska.
w thousand and twenty.six skins
were consigned to local houses. They
are OF the Bering sea product, and Dep
uty Collector Mittcn thinks they were
taken by pelagic sealcrs. The schoon.
er ward, however, appears to have had
no hand in the taking of the seals. and
that alone, Collector Mitten stated,
saved 1t from censure.
