WASHINGTON, May 19-Congres- sional legislation to carry out recom- mendations of a commission of three scientific experts with a view to the re- sumption of commercial killing of seals at the Pribilof islands in the Boring sea, will be recommended next winter by the Secretary of Commerce, William c. Redfield, according to present expectations. The ultimate future of the Alaska seal herd has been a vexed international question for years.
 Canada and Japan, which are inter- ested financially in the American seal herd by the terms of a treaty which abolished pelagic sealing, made an in vestigation contemporaneously with the American experts. Both govern ments have made representations to the United States that the condition of the seal herd warrants resuming sealing operations at once.
 The report of the three American experts, submitted to congress in it's closing days, and about to be pub lished, Is by Wilfred H. Osgood, Ed ward A. Preble and George H. Par ker, selected by the National Academy of Science, the Smithsonian Institu- tion and the Secretary of Agriculture

ROME, May 19-The attitude of Roumania is being closely watched by all the diplomatic repre- senatives of the various warning nations in the city ROumania is known to be on more cordial relations with Italy than with any of the other European pow CTS, and 1t IS now more than possible that an actual alliance will be consummatcd between the two coun- tries. Leading diplomats of both peoples have long desired it, and it is certain that the present crisis will result Tn at least diplomatic understanding being arrived at and certain officials state that this diplo matic understanding already exists, and will mean that ROumaina will follow whatever course Italy takes at this time.
 The Italian government has issued a green book stating ltay's position in the present imbrogo and asserting that if Italy should enter the war she will commence fighting only from necessity. Austria has apparently failed to realize that Italy was firmly determined to enter the war if she failed to obtain satisfactory territorial concessions from her neigh bor by the use of diplomacy This undoubted mis- understanding of the Italian attitude is incompre- hensbe to anyone who has closely watched the course of events for the past few months.

SCHOLARS ENJOY TALK BY NOTED
 VISITOR

The pupils of the Cordova public schools enjoyed great literary treat today, when Rev George Edw. Lewis, of Sioux Falls. South Dakota, author and lecturer. talked to the higher grades this morning. Our distin- gushed visitor took for his subject his travels, and especially his visit to the Panama-PacInc Exposition at San Francisco, his description of the Fun Zone" being particularly inter- esting to the children.
 Rev. Lewis also spoke of the linn tied knowledge possessed by citizens of the United States about Alaska: of the similarity of the people from Ari. zona, Massachusetts, South Dakota and Alaska-in fact, the world over. He expressed his appreciation of the Cordova schools and pointed out the
 
 advantages they possessed, telling wherein they surpassed those In many in the states outside of the large cit les.
 After speaking of what our boys and girls in Alaska may become in use fitness, Rev. Lewis said that in Mas. sachusetts 1t Is asked What do you know?" In New York How much are you worth?" In Virginia Who was your father?" But in the west and in Alaska they ask"What can you do?' The speaker referred to the great resources of this territory and the op. portunities offered to the educated and industrious. His talk was lis. tened to with marked attention by the scholars. who enjoyed greatly the wisdom and truth as expounded by one who was familiar with his sub. jects.

perts are:
 "The fur seal herd contains approx. imately 294,OOO individuals, 93,25O of them being bearing female seals The ration of one seal bull to forty bearing cows meets all possible de. mands of safety and conservation. The law of 1912, stopping commercial killing, has greatly increased the male seals. The male seals will be greatly in excess by 1916. The herd is in excellent condition. Yearling seals rarely come to land at all until after the close of the killing season. The increase in the number of bearing seal cows was small. Marking of breeding reserves with a permanent hot iron brand is practicable. Meth ods of killing seals is not objection able from the humane standpoint, but shorter drives are desirable. Dead animals should be measured before they are skinned the present system of weighing being antiquated. Build ings, transportation methods and methods of work need general reform. The fox herd is in poor condition, the reindeer herd is increasing, sea lions and certain birds need protection con tinued. The natives constitute a serious problem; their condition, while far from hopeless, is not creditable to the government"

efficient, happy communi- ty."
 There are good reasons. from both economy and welfare of the seal herd to resume commercial sealing at once, the report concludes. There should be only two restrictions to practically guarantee the growth and preservation of the herd. These are that females should not be killed for their skins or for food, and that breed ing bulls should be maintained in numbers sufficient to supply one for each forty bearing COWS.
 The report says the management of all the animals should be placed in charge of a specially qualified officer and the management of the natives and the fiscal affairs under another officer, the former having senior rank. That the Prlbilof seal herd is not on the verge of extinction Is asserted, with the declaration that complete rehabilitation of the herd may be con, fidently expected in view of it's pres. ent size and condition. Provisions commensurate with the needs and i'm portance of the property involved" " the report adds, "are to be regarded as wise investments and curtailment of operations at this time is not jus. tifled by conditions"

not be jeopardized in the slightest de gree. The inference is clear that un- less sealing is resumed agitation will continue and the integrity of a most desirable treaty endangered"
 The yoluminous report states that the people of the Pribilof islands, though not natives. have so long made the islands their homes that they rec. ognize no other. They are a peo- pie still semi-civilized," says the re, port. They constitute a heritage ae- quired by the United States with the islands and their valuable wild inhab- itants. and considerations of economy and humanity demand that they be accepted as such and managed with all possible wisdom and fairness.
 Many changes In the methods of dealing With the natives seem neces- sary. In their management a great deal will depend on the personality of the officers in charge It is believed that the work necessary to put the sealing plant on an efficient basis and the resumption in the near fu- ture of commercial sealing, accompan- jed by a better system of compensa- tion and the opportunity of exchang- ing the reward of their labor accord ing to their desires, will help to make the natives self-respecting, and the people may become an entirely self.

 INSANE:

In the United States Commission CTS court this afternoon, Al. Harper was given a hearing as to his sanity, a complaint having been issued at the instance of the chief of police Dooley. Harper has been a local fishermen for a number of years, and lately lived on an island in Deep bay, which is part of a military reserva- tion. His conduct has been such that he was not considered a safe man to be at large. laboring under the i'm pression that he had undisputed pos. sion to the island and threatening those who went near there.

FAVOR KILLING SEALS PRIBILOF ISLANDS

at the instance of the Secretary of Commerce. These men investigated conditions on the Pribilof islands last 'ummer.
 Their report, whose revision has just been completed. points out that the treaty effective December 15, 1911, between the United States, Great Britain Japan and Russia, is essen- tially an agreement by which the foreign nations relinquish their right to take seals on the high seas in ex- change for a share in land sealing to be conducted by the United States. Great Britain and Japan paid large sums to retire their sealing fleets, obviously expecting to be reimbursed in the near future by their 15 per cent share of land sealing" The OnlJeu 0taIeS reserved the rlgnt to suspend land sealing if necessary to protect and preserve the seal herd and to increase it's numbers. The report contends that now, after three seasons without commercial sealing, there is no necessity for continued suspension.
 "The condition of the seal herd in 1914" says the report, 'is such that resumption of commercial sealing on moderate scale in 1915 could be un- dertaken with confidence that the pro- tection and growth of the herd would
