Il 10 Proposed 70 Purchase tho Vic

Victoria, b. C.-According to ad-
vices just received here, negotiations
being carried on at washington for
the cessation of pelagic sealing on tae
basis OF the purchase OF the Victoria
ami Hakodate sealing fleets and in
Identification Of the pelagic sealers
for the loss OF their industry have
been almost concluded. Sir Henry
Durand, British ambassador, ana the
United States secretary Of state
reached an agreement, It Is reported,
and commission viii be appointed
with one representative from Great
Britain, Canada and the United States
to work out the details Of the agree
ment for the preservation Of the seal
herds.
VIII Try and Make &C General.
When a treaty has been drawn up
negotiations viii be commenced with
Japan, Russia and other maritime ma
lions, more especially those interest
ed in sealing, to have the treaty for
the preservation of fur seals made
general. One condition of the seal
ing settlement, it is understood, will
be the cessation of all seal killing on
the rookeries at the PribyloR islands
for at least one year, except such as
may be necessary for the support Of
the natives.
Believed Japan ls Favorable.
It is believed that Japan will join
with the other two nations directly
interested in pelagic sealing in this
agreement. Several years ago a rep
resentative was sent from Japan to
washington and a similar arrange
ment was then discussed and the Jap
anese representative agreed TO it,
providing that Great Britain would
also prohibit pelagic sealing.
Would Cause Advance In SealskIns.
The cession OF seal killing in the
rookeries of Behring sea, even for
one season, together with the prohi-
bition Of pelagic sealing following the
purchase of the schooners and indem-
MITIGATION of the hunters, will cause a
material advance in the price OF seal
skins, which are already quoted at
higher prices than they have brought
in the history of sealing.

WORLDS RICHEST Man.
DEATH or ALFRED Belt, THE Az
RlcAN DIAMOND KING.
He Was Reputed to Be the Richest
Man In the World, Being Rat
ed A. a Billion,

London-Alfred Belt, tho promi-
nent South African fnancier, known
as the diamond king, and said
TO be the richest man in the world,
died Monday. He had been Ia III
health for some time.
Mr.. Belt was born in 1853 at Ham
burg. He was a life governor OF the
Debeers Consolidated mines, a part
ner in the firm OF Wernher, Belt g.
Co, and a director Of the Rand mines,
Rhodesia railways, Bechuanaland
Railway trust, Consolidated Company
Bultfontein mine. and British Char
tered South Africa Co.
The claim that Mr.. Belt was the
richest man In the world IL made on
the grounds that half the mines In
South Africa belonged 70 him, lnelud-
Ing the fabulous wealth Of KImberley's
diamond output.
Early in 1903 Mr.. Belt had an apo
pltctic stroke while at johannesburg,
and It appears that he never fully re-
gained his health. Since that time he
had lived in London.
He controlled the output Of gold in
South Africa, was at one time alleged
to be forming "coId Trust" In which
the names Of promlent American
finanoierS were mentioned.
He gave large sums Of money to the
Red Cross and other institutions, and
recently donated 100000 to found a
university at Hamburg.
His aggregate wealth can not be
stated, but a rough estimate places
It at S1,O0O,0O 1000. His yearly income
was $S2,50O,O00. which means that he
got 800 every minute of his life, or,
to put 1t in another way, 100000 a
week.
