has been furnishing the electric lights
complaints have been frequent and
now that the lights are not burning
everybody is dissatisfied The city
has not been paying for the light and

London, Dec. 19.-George NJ. Bow
ers, United States Fish Commission
err who came to London TO conduct
the annual sealskins sale, at which
he sold Alaskan skins belonging TO
the United States Government, sailed
on the Campania today, satisfied with
the result of his mission.
The sale. which was held yesterday
at Lampson's auction rooms, Melted
eS5.677, ($42S,3S5.) There were ~
0O2 skins sold, or an average of CT
2s. Cd. or about S3566 each. which
is higher than the price obtained last
year, when the average was c lis.
This increase, however, is not due
to a rise in price. but merely to the
skins being a little larger than last
year.
Mr. Bowers created some enthusi-
asm among the buyers and dealers
at the sale by reading a cable mes
sage from Charles Nagel, secretary
of the Department OF Commerce and
Labor, announcing that the Internal
ional agreement for the prohibition
of further pelagic sealing came into
force yesterday. This will put an
end to the killing of female seals,
which comprised the main part of the
northwest coast, or pelagic catch and

Altogether some 10000 sealskins
were sold, 1900 belonging to pelagic
sealers and averaging e5 lis. each,
while the balance, which came from
the Cape of Good Hope and Cape
Horn, and of poor quality, brought
any price down to as low as SOW

The sale was attended by over a
hundred buyers and dealers from all
parts of the world Americans,
through their London brokers, were
the chief buyers, with Leipsic dealers

Pribylof Islands where the skins are
obtained, were leased to private in

that in the last year under the old

eminent received about 100000 in
