MAY STOP IT
Fur Seal Killing Might Be
Suspended
\ Washington, D. C., Jan. 12? Senator
Stephen B. Elkios, of West Virginia,
D. O. Mills, the New York capitalist,
and Isaac Leibes, of San Francisco,
lessees of the fur seal islands of Alaska,
under the name of the North American
Commercial Company of San Francisco,
will probably loee their privileges be
fore the end of the present session of
congress. The administration is
alarmed at the threatened extinction of
fur seals.
Steps will be taken before adjourn
ment to stop the slaughter. This will
probably be done through an agree
ment with Canada or through the sus
pensions of the work of the lessees on
the islands.
The reports of seal agents for the
past year include sevre indictments of
the work of the lessees and declare that
the killing has been the sole cause of
the decrease of 58 per cent, of the sur
plus *^ri!e females and breeding bulls
in a year.
* In his annual report, Got. Brady, of
Alaska, recommends that the question
of seal hunting be taken up with Great
Britain, Japan and Russia and that the
killing of seal be stopped on St. Paul's
and on St. George's islands for eight or
10 years, the natives being deported.
