THE WHALERS LOSE.
Season Closes with Very Few Of the
Big Fish Caught,
only one ship Iias Profitable Trip
20 the Arctic watcrs-IIistory
OF Other Disastrous
Seasons.

The whaling season In the northern
Atlantic, which ended last month, was
a disastrous one OF the dozen steam
sailing craft that cruised In the Arc
tic waters not more than three have
made expenses, and only one, the Alex
ander, had profitable trip
Ever since 1Sis whaleships have
cruised In the Arctic ocean for the
bowhead whale with varying luck, but
never before In the history OF the In
dustry has the chase been marked By
such poor success as this year, except
when disaster has oyertaken the feet
This was the case ia 1917, when 81
vessels were crushed In the ice, caus-
Ing loss Of more than sl.OO0,OO0. Five
years later came another disaster,
when ~ out Of a feet Of 20 crafts were
lost entailing damage. aside from ear
goes. Of $4,000.
For some years prior to the entrance
of the Superior into the Arctic whaling
had been carried on In the waters OF
the northern Pacific. In the year fol-
lowing the fine voyage made by the su-
perior. no fewer than 154 vessels tried
their luck IN the chase for bowheads
in 1852, when there were 27S ships
engaged In the fishery. 5000 whales
we're captured, yielding about 100000
pounds OF bone. which sold for a little
more than so cents pound. The
largest catch in the last 90 years was
made In 1887. when 80 ships took $50
whales, Of which 292 were bow
heads.
La 1895 only 4G whales were taken.
Poor as was the season Of 1895, Il wasn't
a patch to the record OF 1903, and II
whalebone does not jump TO the six
dollar mark, Il will be because some
sharp. Yankee has cargo or two
slowed away for just such a year az
this.
SO far as heard from, the number
Of whales captured this year Is about
half that OF 1885. The failure of the
catch In 1895 was due to the early
formation Of ice. That season whales
In plenty were seen to the westward
but no one could reach them. This
year they were seen In open water
sandwiched IN between ice foes, and
capture was impossible

due to the receipt of dispatch from
Washington by Major Devol in re-
gard to the immediate placing of the
transports now lying in this harbor in
condition TO sail All of the vessels
are ready for sea and only need to
have the stores placed on board. They
are the Crook, the Meade. the War
ren, the Buford and the Logan. The
Sherman also is here. but she has al
ready been scheduled TO sail to Ma
Mia on March I with the Twelfth In
fantry and 500 recruits.
Stationed at the Preside at present
are the Tenth. Twenty-eighth and
Twenty-se Infantries. These
regiments have been drilling hard for
weeks, evidently in expectation OF
emergency orders. and they are pre-
pared 20 sail at a few hours notice.
Which of these regiments will be
called upon to go to eastern waters on
the first transports sailing is the QueS-
ton which puzzled the commanding
officers at the post yesterday.
The transport warehouse here has
recently been loaded up with big sup
plies of merchandise, clothing, provis-
ions and bedding for use in a cold eli
mate, and these goods are ready to go
on the transports at a moments no

is perfect and full equipment is ready
for each one of the reserves.
Hundreds of hotels, tea houses and
temples have been requisitioned in To-
kio and other divisional centers. All
the steamships of Japanese merchant
lines are being rapidly converted into
auxiliary cruisers, armed with quick
firing guns and fitted with torpedo
tubes.
The Government officials refuse to
give out any information regarding
their military intentions. They expect
to profit by dissensions in the Russian
Council of State. 1t is believed that
the extraordinary powers conferred on
Viceroy Alexieff will lead to clash
between Foreign Minister Lamsdorff
and General Kuropatkin, especially as
the latter is unfriendly to Alexielf
The disagreement between these two
Russian leaders is expected here to end
in a military muddle. The Japanese
are convinced that the Russians will
be unable to concentrate and maintain
so 900 troops at any important point of
military operations.
There is much talk current in regard
to the possible dynamiting of the Rus
sian railroad in Manchuria. Thousands
of Japanese, who are practically un-
dstinguishable from Chinese, are work
ing in Manchuria and would willingly
risk their lives for their countrys cause.
A large body of troops is due in
Nagasah on Saturday to embark on
transports for Korea.
A protective system of mines has
been placed about the entrance OF
Nagasaki harbor. Yokohama also is
guarded by mines.

TEXT OF PEKING'S
DECREE DECLARING
CHINA'S NEUTRALITY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Under date
OF February 13 Sir Chentung Liang
Cheng, the Chinese Minister, has trans
mitted to the State Department a
translation of the imperial decree pro-
claiming the neutrality of China in the
Russo-Japanese war. The decree fol-
lows:
Whereas, A state of war now exists
between Japan and Russia; and
Whereas, In view of the friendly re-
lations existing between this Govern
ment and the governments of both the
said countries, it behooves China to
take proper steps for the maintenance
of strict neutrality;
We hereby command, therefore. the
Manchu generals. Governors General
and the Governors of all provinces that
they issue orders to all civil and mill
tary officers under their direction and
enjoin all subjects and persons residing
within their Jurisdiction to observe
strict neutrality between the contend
ing powers, with a view to the preser-
walton of good feeling and general
quiet, and to commit no act, intention
ally or unintentionally, in violation
thereof"
The San Francisco call., 1904-02-16

SHANGHAI, Feb 15.-Advices from
Nagasaki dated Friday, February II,
state that absolute reticence is main
tained by the Government. An intense
war feeling prevails among all classes,
although there is an apparent absence
or excitement. Among the striking
features of the situation are the strict
censorship which is exercised over all
caDlegrams and the close concealment
or military and naval movements. It
has been the Governments policy to
nave the news of naval conflicts come
as complete surprise. The Japanese
themselves did not know the destina-
ton OF their warships. The news of
Japanese successes has caused sup
pressed exultation. The only demon
strations have been made by news
boys, wearing bells, who are constantly
scurrying through the city with EEK
tras" which are frequently issued by
the papers. These are eagerly read
and occasional shouts of "Bansai," the
japanese hurrah, are heard on the
street.
A torchlight procession in honor Of
the japanese triumphs was called for
Wednesday evening in Nagasaki, where
there is large colony of Russians.
When the Japanese began to assemble
with lanterns the police intervened and
dispersed the crowd, without the oc-
currence of any disorder.
The Russians in Japan are not ter
rified by the situation, but nevertheless,
acting on the advice of their Consuls,
they have begun a general exodus.
The mobilization of the Japanese
army has been carried out methodically
1t is estimated that 800 900 troops are
now ready to be placed in the field,
without impairing the national de-
fenses. The movements of the troops
are shrouded in secrecy. They are be-
ing moved at night toward such bases
as Sasebo. Kure, Moji and Yokosuka,
and the lights of ordinary trains are
extinguished when in the neighborhood
OF troop trains.
Members Of the reserve force i'm
mediately step into the places of the
