FUR SEAL BUTCHERY
An Effort to Stop Slaughter
of the Mothers.
LONG STRUGGLE
SENATOR DILLINGHAM; RESoLU-
TON TO BE VIGOROUSLY PRESSED
Good Results Might Have Been Scored
Ten Years Ago by Passage
of the Dingley Bill.

The fur seal question, which has FUR
nished political and international issues for
many years, is once more in evidence III
the form of a joint resolution recently III
PRODUCED in the Senate by Mr. Dlllne-
ham authorizing and empowering the
President of the United States to abate ana
suppress the shameful and cruel practice
of killing nursing mother fur seals on 'he
high seas, now permitted and conducted.
One of those actively interested In the pas
sage of this legislation is Prof. Henry w.
Elliott of Cleveland, Ohio, who is recog-
nized as an expert on the fur seal conol-
tons and industry. Prof. Elliott served
MANY years as private secretary to Prof.
Joseph Henry, secretary of the Smithsonian
Institution. While acting in that capaclty
he was appointed a special commissioner
for the investigation of the seal ISLANDS OF
Alaska under special act OF Congress-
and remained in that work during lo'Z-4.
Again in 1890 he was sent to Alaska On d
similar mission He has written seVeral
works on Alaskan subjects, particularly on
the seal question. He is now in Washlng-
ton and to a reporter for The Star, IN dls7

ION the 22d of January, 1895, ten years
ago, the late Governor Dinghy ntrooucea

Congress. 1t was fully considered and

No Result of the Law of 1904.


1.-THE negotiations authorized and provid-
ed for by 1t have not resulted in any agree
ment on the part Of the Canadian hunters
to terms which will put an end to their
cruel work. 1t now becomes necessary to
act further in the premises, and hence the
Dillingham; resolution is pressed for enact
ment.
Figures and facts are now in the hands
of the friends of this measure which show
the rare good sense of Gov. Dingley when
he attempted to secure the passage of his
bill ten years ago. These figures and facts
declare that the passage of the Dingley
seal bill in 1895 would have prevented,
up to date
First The cruel and indecent slaugh-
ter of over 100000 nursing mother fur
seals, killed on the high seas under liz
cense of the Boring sea rules and regu-
lations of the Paris award, made August
16, 1893
Second The death from starvation
and thirst of over 100000 pup seals, be-
ing the offspring of these mother seals
killed at sea, and which were subjected
to this slow physical torture into death
on the islands of their birth.
Third The actual loss to the United
States treasury of property value in these
skins Of at least $4,000 900, and of pro-
ductive value in these female seals of at
least $16,0O0,00O!
Fourth. The shame and humiliation of
our appearance and the results we Sc
cured from that appearance before the
Boring sea tribunal at Paris in 1893
would have been lightened and improved
All this enormous waste of valuable
and highly organized life, cruelty and
shamefully killed by inhuman butchers
or our own species, would have been
averted and reduced to a minimum at
once by the enactment in February, 1893
of Gov. Dingley's bill
The leaders today in the Senate and
the House understand 1t to be so. They
have resolved to pass the DiIIjnpbaw
resolution at this session and put an end

misery which now characterizes the con-

A Senatorial Visit to Alaska.

"It came to pass that a select Senate
committee happened to visit the seal islands
of Alaska in the summer of 1903. This
committee was charged with the duty of
examining into all needs for Alaskan legis-
lation at the hands of Congress, with due
regard for the best interests of the public.
Senator Dillingham; was and is the
chairman of this committee; he was pro-
foundry impressed with what he saw on the
islands, and so Were his associates; they at
once put themselves into communication
with every man who claimed to have knowl
edge of affairs on the seal islands; they
studied all the literature, reports, ETC., of
the agents of the government on file in the
archives of the government and published;
the result vas embodied in a unanimous
report to TIL. Senate, submitted January
IA, 1904. Thi. report recommended, in
short, the enactment of a measure in full
accord with that proposed by Gov. Dingley
in 1895.
THE Senate foreign relations committee,
to which this Dillingham; bill of 1904 was
referred, after elaboration agreed that it
was in all respects correct. The committee
secured from the Department of Commerce
on the islands, SO as to prevent the ex-
cessive slaughter of young male seals,
which section l of the bill called for. The
committee then withheld section of the
bill-which is now before it as the pending
Dillingham; reSolutiOn-for diplomatic rea-
sons, to give the President a reasonable
length of time in which to negotiate before
using big stick With these changes in
committee the Dillingham; bill of 1904 was
reported as Senate joint resolution 81, and
became law April 8, 1904.

SENATOR JAS. Il. BERRY

Is there any reason for ar honest politician i'll Arkansas; Senator Berry's record Is clean and honest He entered politics poor man; he is still a poor man. He is an honorable man. He has always stood for Arkan- sas and her interests. No man in Washington City or elsew here ever dared to speak disparaging- ly of Arkansas in the presence oi Senator Berry Will the people of this state permit this grand old man to be villifed and heap ed with calumnies by those who are opposing him2 Will they listen and believe the lies that the political trieksters will con eoet and tell on this grand man, who has withstood all the temp tations of politics. and comes out as he went in, one of na- ture $ noblemen-au honest man Ne don'r believe the peo- pie of Arkansas have grown SD base that they can not distin- guish between the true and Che false They may be swept from the true path for a time by DO l1ical tricks, but they will right themselves, and relying on their innate honesty, we predict sweeping victory for Senator Berry Hope Gazette.
 The above reminds us of the old story of the boy whistIins while passing through che grave yard, to keep up his courage. Everyone believes that Berry is an honest man; but that will not save him rom yillifeation. nor from defeat, and the sweeping victory" predicted is only an imagination of the Ga zette which Is not atall likely to be fulfilled.

OHIO DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The Democracy of Ohio adopted platform at its state convention this week that will be received with unusual interest all over the the country. The first two blanks dealing with national issues are in complete harmony with the posi-. ton of President Roosevelt on these questions, and it is signif- cant fact that the Republican par ty has not expressed itself as favor able to the policy of the adminis- tration. We quote these blanks from the Ohio platform:
 We note with satisfaction the determination of the national ad- ministration to purchase supplies for the Panama canal in the mar kets of the world and not pay tri- butte to our protected monopolies. We trust that the day may soon come when the common people of this country may enjoy the same privileges, and not be compelled to pay the manufacturers for the nec- essaries of fife higher price than these same articles are sold for by the same manufacturers to foreign purchasers.
 We demand of our representa- tives in Congress to aid in the enactment of such laws as will pre-. vent all rebates and secret con tracts by railways, and will guar. antee the same service to every cit lzen. We favor the conferring up- on the interstate commerce com mission the power, when 1t finds a rate unreasonable, to fix reason able rate. D
 The national Democracy will. no doubt, indorse this declaration. and the responsibility for the defeat of the legislation advocated by the president will be placed on the Re. publican party.
 Another plank of interest to the public touches the question of mu- nicipal ownership. The Ohio Democracy says: We believe in free and unqualified home rule, feee from state interference. Each city town and village should be al- lowed to decide for itself all mat ters of local policy, especially as between public or private owner ship of all public utilities, includ- ing street railways. as well as Wa terworks and lighting systems, and that provision should be made for

SHEEp-Receipts this morning were quite
large for a Tuesday and were considerably
larger than a week ago and also bigger

the trains were late in getting In so that
there was considerable number OF sheep,
principally feeders, left over until this
morn ing, when they were gradually cleaned
out whlIe waiting for today's stun to get in
This morning buyers were still hungry
for fat sheep and lambs and the market
on anything that would do for the packers
was steady to strong and active. Packers
were on watch for anything suitable for
market on fat stun steady. On the more
choice sheep they were paying prices that
were tri1e stronger than yesterday.
The market on good kinds of feeders
inclined to be little easier on the COM
mon light lambs A lot OF choice yearling
feeders brought $3.50, about as high as
has been paid this year. This morning
there was fair gathering of country and
feeder buyers on hand when the market
opened and prices on desirable kinds of
feeder sheep and lambs remained just about
steady, but there was an inclination to
neglect the common light lambs, and hence
the feeling on them was tust a little easier.
Then, too, there was a good supply on the
market OF the common kind OF feeders,
while the better kinds were o little scarce.
In other words, good feeders were steady,
while the common stun was a lite easier.
