Slaughter Begins if PrOtec-
 tion Agreement Fails.

The ways and means committee of the house today ordered a favorable report on ths blll for a reopsnlng of negotiations rel- alive to ths fur seal herds of Alaska, with a view of the preservation ot the herds, and authorizing the killing Of the greater part of the seals unless the negotiations for the permnsnt preservation of the herds are successful. The preamble of the blll recltes that regulations made ln pursu- ance of the findings of Che Berlng sea ifl- bunal "haye utterly failed to 80 protect and preserve these herds from indecent killing and the ulnous dlmlnutlon of IIfe after seven wears of faithful endorsements" also that "thls killing of twenty to thirty thousand mother seals at sea by allen hunters every year entails the cruel and ln- tecent starvation to death on the islands of I5ooo to 10000 young or pup seals every September and October" The bill empowers lhs president to conclude nego- tlatlons with Great Britain for a review of the regulations ln order to preserve the fur seal Industry of Alaska for the good of an mankind and abate the shameful order of killing now permitted and conducted"
 Pending the negotiations the blll advises modus vlysndl prohibiting the killing of seals except for native food. ln the event that the preservation Of the herd Is not secured at the opening cf the pelaglc sea son of Ioo7, authority ls given to kIll all the male aud female seals with the excep- tlon nf 10000 females and t,ooo males.
 Representative Mcclellan, of New York, and Representative Mccall Of Massachu- sstls, voted against reporting the full seal bin.
 Mr. MeLlellln stated that lt was a re- mark ible measure, proposing the killing of 7o,ooo seals, apparently through spite.

BROTHER KILLED BY BROTHER
Petty Quarrel Led to Fatal Blow
and Now Jim Little Is Trying to
Commit Suicide.

and Now Jim Little Is Trying to
Commit Suicide.
Waycross, Ga, June 11.-One of the
most terrible tragedies that has ever
been known in Ware county, occurred
near Buckley Saturday morning. Jim
Little struck his brother, Leon Little,
in the head with a fence rail, crushing
his skull. Leon Little lived until this
morning. when he died at o'clock,
remaining unconscious almost all the
time
Jim Little made several attempts to
commit suicide when he learned yester-
day that his brother would probably
die. He drank a quart of spirits tur-
pcntine. hoping that his existence
would be ended in this way, but vom-
ting probably saved his life.
Leon Littles wife was the only wit
ness to the killing. Her husband was
blowing in a field near the house, and
Jim was blowing FOR Mr.. E1enfield in
another field near by. He saw Leon
whipping his horse, and remarked to
an Edenfeld boy that he would go over
and put stop to it. Jim went up to
Leon, and after a short dispute with
him, picked up a fence rail lying near
by, and knocked him down. Icons wife
then came out and begged Jim to help
her carry her husband to the house,
but Jim refused and left the premises.
Later a neighhor came along. and as
sisted Mrs. Little in carrying her hus-
bands body to the house. DR.. Friar
was called on Sunday and pronounced
Icons wound fatal
Jim Little has not yet been arrested.
but a warrant will probably be sworn
out against him. He says that he in
tends to kill himself. He is considered
a wild kind of a young man, having
had some difficulty with his father a
few months ago. Jim is about 80 years
old and is separated from his wife.

New Hotel Nearing COMPREHENSIVE
road to Douglas Discussed-Prof.
Merritt's Election Leaves a Va

Merritt's Election Leaves n Va
cancy.
Valdosta, Ca. June 11.-Valdosta's
large new hotel is nearing completion
and has already been leased for five
years at a price satisfactory to the
owners. The hotel will be ready to open
by the first of September, the carpen-
tiers now being at work in putting on
the finishing touches. Mr. Z. D. Fer
rell. an experienced hotel man of Mont
gomery, Ala. has leased it and will
furnish the building himself. The hotel
is one of the handsomest structures in
this section of the state and it is pre-
dicted that it will have a brilliant fu-
ture as a stopping place for travellers.
1t was built with a view to comfort,
most of those who planned it, intending
to be boarders at the hotel when it is
opened.
The people of Valdosta are very
much interested in a new line of rail-
road from this city to Douglas, to con-
meet with the line from that city to the
Ocmulgee river 1t is proposed now for
Valdosta to build the line from here
to Midtown and for the people at
Douglas and others to build to that
point from the north. The two roads
VIII be merged into one after compile
ton and operated as a single line. 1t
is believed that the road to Midtown
can be built for $4,000, and the citi-
zens of Valdosta are now at work in
the effort to raise that much stock
The election of Prof w. B. Merritt
to the position of state school commits
sioner leaves Valdosta without a school
superintendent, and also leaves
Lowndes county without school com
missioner. 1t is understood that Prof.
Merritt will remain here until the first
of January and will continue to serve
IS county school commissioner, though
his place in the city schools will prob
ably be filled before the next term. He
is fine educator and the people here
regret very much to have to give him
