FEARS SHE is NEAR DEATH
Russian Court Anxious About Czarina's
Condition.

Condition.
St. Peter sburg, Jan. 17.-GlOom has
settled down upon the court circles be-
cause of the serious illness of the
czarina, whose condition is such that
she cannot at present leave her bed.
Partial paralysis is said to have at
tackled her feet and is spreading to her
legs and arms. All court fetes planned
for the immediate future have been
postponed. Specialists and nurses are
in constant attendance.
When the czarina returned from TAX
ing the cure at Bad Nauheim she was
in much improved health, although she
still suffered from the extreme depres-
sion that had alarmed the czar and the
royal family. Recently, it has just be-
come known, the czarina suffered a re-
lapse, following which paralysis in her
extremities is said to have developed.
The czarina is said to be possessed
of fear that the life of the cZarevitch
is in danger, fear for whose safety
haunts he" constantly.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.-Friends
OF Hon. Geo. w. Bowers. United States
commissioner of fisheries. will be
pleased 10 know that Mr. Bowers has
thoroughly discredited the malicious
attack made upon him by Henry w,
Elliott Of New York and some OF his
associates. At the time that Elliott
preferred his charges. Democrats in
the house of representatives scented
scandal and eagerly appointed an In
Nestgatlng committee. Elliott's
charges were in effect that large num-
bers OF female seals under one year
old We're being killed ender govern
ment supervision on the Pribylofr
Islands. This. If true. would be in di.
rect violation OF the regulations for
the protection OF the seal fisheries.
Only male seals over one year old are
supposed TO be taken by the seal hunt
ers Elliott presented a table of sta.
tistics showing a large number of seal
skins supposed TO have been received
in London. and which had been taken
from females and from seals under
one year old
Bowers Pushes the FIGHT.
NAaAiiAAsns'tNAl'A lANW fl mas received
from the London dealers an exact
statement OF the facts. which show
that in about 1900 seal skins re-
received from Pribyl loff Islands only 81
were females or seals under one year
old. Already the Democratic members
OF the investigating committee who
made strenuous efforts To discredit
Bowers have apparently decided to
drop the whole affair. Mr. Bowers.
however. is not inclined to let the
matter drop there. lie has been in.
sisting upon an early meeting OF the
committee and promises TO make
things interesting for his accusers
when the opportunity arises.
Bowers Good Record.
Relative To Mr.. Bowers work IL NAV
be said under his supervision the
United states government last wear
received about five times as much
from its seal fisheries as IL ever did
before. Last wear the government re-
allied from this source S420.OOO. The
previous year. the last on contract
with the Alaska Fur q Seal company.
IL received only $50 600 90 Mr.. Bowers
was also very active I'm bringing about
the agreement with Japan. Russia and
Great Britain To stop pelagic sealing.
and IL is his bcliof that under the wise
and careful supervision that is now
being given the seal herds will soon
be repicnished and become as numer-
CHS as ever before. on the Pribylofr
Islands also he is developing the blue
fox. an animal which is much sought
after for FRS ,urs. Last year the gov
eminent took some 800 -ox skins and
this year they cXuecf To take some
four or five times that number.
