MMMBk HE flfioonlh ot December,
JBk 1911, was the Utno sot for
f ftj tho formal adoption of ono
v H of tho most Important inter-
H national conservation mens-
y-ri Hj r uros that has over boon of-
ventlon or treaty concluded
at Washington on July 7,
1911, by tho United States,
Great Britain, Russia, and
Japan, tho fur Beals of tho
north Pacific Ocean will re
ceive for tho first tlmo a
form of protection that has
been Bhown to bo absolutely
necessary, and Is gunran
anteed by theso four groat
powers for a term of IB
years.
Tho agreement prohibits
absolutely pelagic senllng, or
tho killing of fur seals whllo in tho water, and
places tho legitimate killing of surplus malo
seals on land under tho direct control of tho
governments Interested.
This convention lnsureB tho rescue of tho
depleted fur-seal herds from commercial ex
tinction; prohibits tho citizens or subjects of
tho contracting powers from engaging In a
wasteful, cruel occupation, and removes a
long-standing disturbance of International good
will. Fur seals Inhabit certain parts of both tho
northern and southorn hemispheres, but the
most important herds live in tho north PucMc,
represent three distinct but closoly related spe
cies, and are known as tho Alaskan, Russian
and Japanese fur seals, respectively. Although
tho northern seals roam widely on tho high
seas, they always resort for breeding purposes
to certain deflnlto bits of land, and it is this
habit which gives particular nations property
rights in them and has created several inter
national complications.
Tho Japanese seals visit no land except Rob
ben Island and certain Islands of the Kurllo
chain; tho Russian seals novor go to other
shores than those of tho Commander Islands,
oft tho coast of Kamchatka; and tho Alaskan
seals, after distributing themselves over the
eastern part of the Pacific Ocean as far south
as southorn California, mako an annual pil
grimage to islands In Pterin? Sea,
Of all tho fur seals, the most numerous and
important are those ot Alaska, which camo to
tho United States with all the othor resources
of the territory when Russia ceded her Juris
diction. Tho Alaskan fur seals have for many
years boon tho subject of protracted nntlonal
and International discussion, and during the
years 1910 and 1911 came In for an unusual
amount of attention. In addition to tho con
sideration received during the diplomatic nego
tiations resulting in tho treaty already men
tioned. Congress has enacted a now law re
lating to the seal Islands, a new dispensation
has como in tho administration of tho islands,
and tho government as represented by tho
Bureau of Fisheries has for the first time en
gaged in tho business of talcing and market
ing seal skins.
The "new dispensation" includes permanent
scientific observation and control of tho herd,
discretionary authority to suspend all killing,
and discretionary power to leaso tho scaling
privileges or to exploit them as a government
monopply.
Tho only land to which the Alaskan fur seals
over resort Is the group of small, rocky Islands
lying In Bering Sea 215 miles north of Una
laska Island, tho nearest land. Theso bits of
bleak land have come to bo popularly known
as tho Seal Islands, from their most conspic
uous feature; but among geographers they
are callod tho Prlbllof Islands, In honor of tho
Russian navigator who, in 1786, whllo In the
employ of a Kamchatkan trading company,
followed the migrating seals and ascertained
for the first tlmo whero thoy resorted.
At tho time of tho discovery of the Prlbllofs
there wero no human Inhabitants. As soon
as tho Russians began to take sea skins thoy
transferred thereto from tho Aleutian Islands
a number of natives to do tho manual labor,
and from time to tlmo established small colo
nies at various convenient points.
Tho present population numbers about 300
on the two Islands.
When tho seal islands camo into our custody
the fur seals thereon constituted the most val
uable aquatic resourco that any government
over possessed. Owing to tho immense body
of animals present and tho difficulty of count
ing with any degree ot accuracy, estimates of
tho size of tho herd at that time necessarily
differ widely, tho extremes being two million
and seven million. It Is safo to assume that
tho number was between two and a half and
four million, distributed on 20 to 30 rookeries.
At tho close of tho season of 1911 tho
Alaskan seal herd consists of not more than
150.000 Individuals of all ageB.
This appalling dwindling of tho herd has
occasioned much concorn and has subjected
tho government to much unfavorable criticism,
because tho government has exercised full and
continuous control during all tho Intervening
years up to tho present dato. It will bo seen,
however, that the criticism 1b not justified, for
tho reason that the decline and decimation of
tho herd camo through causes operating when
the seals were on tho high seas and beyond
tho protecting caro of tholr foster father.
It is furthermore a fact that tho government
took activo steps to securo adoquato protection
for tho sealB when away from tho Pribllofa,
and that its efforts wcro frustrated chlofly by
tho results of; an unfortunato International
arbitration.
Although the seals aro easily killed by tho
methods adopted by man for tholr destruc
tion on soa and land, thoy are capable of with
standing great privation and of undergoing
extraordinary muscular exertion.

land is in itself no small accomplishment for
air-breathing animals. The females, leaving
the Islands in Novembor, go further Bouth
than any other members of tho herd, and In
December appear off southern California,
where they remain until March. They then
begin their long return Journey, renchlng tho
islands early in Juno.
Within two days of their arrival on the rook
eries tho cows givo birth to their pups. Not
until ten or twolvp days havo elapsed do thoy
return to tho wator or take any food. Then,
after washing and playing near tho islands,
they malco their first long trip to tho feeding
grounds, coming back to tho rookeries after
three or four days. Thereafter throughout
tho season tho cows mako regular feeding
.trips at intervals of fivo to ton days.
Tho seals subsist chiefly on squid, but also
on herring, smelt, salmon, pollock, and other
kinds of fish, which aro caught and caton in
tho water. They havo prodigious appetites
and gorge thomsolves whenovor the opportu
nity comes.
On tho approach of cold weather, tho cows
and pups leave tho islands togothor. Up to
that time tho pups havo subsisted solely on
milk, and they then havo to learn to catch
their own food, consisting of flBh and squid.
Inasmuch as tho natural mortality among tho
pups In tholr first year Is fully 50 per cent, it
in ovident that thy experience many vicissi
tudes In tho tempestous sens to which they
commit themselves. Tho males follow shortly
after, but somJ remain about tho Islands
throughout tho winter In mild seasons, nnd
tho natives always depend on seals for food in
December and January.
Fur ncala and hnlr fenl have always been
regarded as legitimate objects of exploitation,
and all governments having real or assumed
proporty rights In herds of seals havo sanc
tioned tholr killing, under restriction, for fur,
leather, oil, food, etc.
Beginning in 1780 and continuing until tho
salo of Alaska, Russians wore almost contin
uously engaged In killing fur seals on the
Prlbllof Islands. In tho earlier years there was
a promiscuous scramblo among rival compa
nies, so that to maintain order nnd proporly
regulate tho taking of sealB the government
waB forced In 1799 to glvo tho privilege to a
Blnglo company, created by Imperial decree
and having among Its shareholders members
of tho imporlal family and tho nobility. TIiIb
association, known as tho Russian-American
company, enjoyed a monopoly of this bUBlneas
ns long as Russia had control of AlaBka. An
ukaso Issued by Alexander I In 1821 for the
regulation of tho company had as ono of Its
features tho prohibition of foreign vessels
within 100 miles ot tho Russian coasts and
islands. This ukaso Involved Russia in a dis
pute with tho United Stales nnd Great Britain,
resulting in tho treaties of 1824 and 1825,
which recognized Russia's clnlm to Jurisdiction
over tho whole of Boring Soft, Okhotsk Sea,
and other wntor Inclosed by Russian torrltory.
From tho outset the company placed a ra
tional limit on tho number of nnimals killed
each year, and In tho light of later experience
it is evident that tho herd would havo been
fully able to sustain the annual harvest ot
skins If theso hnd boon taken only from tho
males. But males -and females alike wero
slaughtered In ignoranco or disregard of tho
polygamous chnracter of tho seals, and as
early as 180C It was necessary to suspend
operations for two yenrs In ordor to permit
tho herd to recuporato.
Whon killing was resumed, howovor, It was
along tho samo destructive lines, and the
mighty fur-seal host continued to dwlndlo un
til by 1834 Its numbers wero reduced to one
fifteenth or ono-twentloth of thoso proscnt In
tho first years after tho discovery of tho
Islands. Tho suspension of all killing for a
term of years then ensued, and by tho time
Operations wero resumed tho company officials
had como to rcallzo that tho fomales should ho
protected, and later tho sacrifice of old bulla
and young pups was stopped.
Tho result was a romarkablo recupuriitlon
nnd Increase In tho hord that afford a valid
basis for tho beliof that speedy recovery of the
decimated herds of Alaska, Russia, and Jnpnn
may follow tho elimination of lh factor re
sponsible for their present comllU"", namely,
tho indiscriminate killing of males and females
at sea. Whon Russia ceded her Jurisdiction
over Alaskn, tho. Prlbllof fur-seal herd had at
tained a degree of prosperity closely approach
ing its condition at the tlmo of Its discovery,
and wo thus camo Into possession of a ro
eourco but Il.ttlo Impaired and had a knowl
edge of its significant history to gufdo us In
Its treatment.
it Is a cause for congratulation that no coun
try has dealt with Kb seal life In a moro intel
ligent, humane, und zealous mannor than the
United States, and It waB a cruel fate that for
bo many yeara rendered our efforts futllo. Tho
only occasion whon there was any laxity In
our administration of tho seal Islands Was dur
ing tho first years of our possession, when tho
govornmont was still unorganized anywhoro In
tho territory and various prlva(o companies
landed parties on tho Prlbllofs and took seal
skins without any govornmont supervision or
restriction. It was In that year that tho larg
est killing in the history of tho Islands was
mado; tho number of skins obtnlnod was prob
ably not lcsB thnn 300,000, nnd mny havo
rcachod 375,000; but this tako was not Indis
criminate, was confined to bachelors, and hac
no effect on tho permunenco ot tho hurd.
Although the Indiscriminate killing or seals
in the e?n had boon going on from very early
times, this business was not extensive, wna
conducted by nntlvt'8 "slug sponra In tholr
ennoes, and hnd no appreciable effect on tho
herd.
Special Inquiry mado by tho government
showed that In different years from 70 to over
90 per cent ot tho soals killed nt sea, either
on tho northwest coast or In Boring Sea, wero
females.
What polaglc hunting then meant to tho seal
hord when so largo a licet wna engaged, and
what It Iiub meant recently whon tho floet was
larger in proportion to the number of Boala.
may be appreciated whon It Is stntod (1) thnt
for every sual killed and secured by the hunt
ers not loss tlmn two seals woro killed and
lost bocnuso Uiey sank boforc the hunters
could luy hold ot thorn, whllo many that wero
woundod and escaped dlod lator; (2) that for
ovory adult fomnlo k'.Ucd on tho way to tho
luinn.in In Biirlm: an unborn pup wna sacri
ficed; (3) that for .every female killed after
tho hord had reached tho Islands a pup on
shore wns left to die a lingering death by
starvation, and a pup to bo born tho next Ben
son was llkowlso sacrificed.
Tho govermiH-nr was not slow to realize tlto
damago dono to tho seal herd by polaglc seal
ing, and was led to assume Jurisdiction over
tho entlro American sldo of Bering Son and to
regard as poachers any persons found hunting
seals therein. The selzuro ot vessels Hying
tho United States and British flags followed,
and there uropn a controversy with Groat Brit
ain, which culminated In tho roforonco of tho
caso to an International tribunal of arbitration
thnt met in Pnrls In 1893. Tho award of tho
arbitration court wns agalnBt tho United States
on both of tho main contentions, namoly, tho
Boring Sen Is a closed Boa, and that tho prop
erty right In the kau! herd warranted tho gov
ernment In protecting mo scaia wmio on i
high seas.
Since tho award of tho ParlB tribunal tho
caso of tho fur-seal herd has gono from bud to
worse. The United States govornmont early
showed Us good faith by prohibiting Its citi
zens from engaging In tho lucratlvo industry of
polaglc sealing; but the subjects ot all othor
countries wero pormlttcd to do so, nnd It wns
tho Injection of a new fnctor, Japan, that con
tributed moro than any othor causo to tho
decimation ot our Boal hord.
Tho fur-soal problom with which tho United
Stntcs governmont now has to' doal presents
sovoral phaBes. Tho moat important duty tho
reBponsiblo officials havo to perform Is to con
serve nnd Innronso tho soal hord. This In
volves continuous caro, study, and observa
tion; tho determination of tho actual condition
nnd needs of tho hord, and tho application ot
tho resultB of scientific nnd economic investi
gation to tho wolfaro of tho sealo.
A scarcely less important duty, and ono that
Is In no rospoct antagonistic to tho first, 1b to
provide a rovonuo and to utilize a highly usoful
rosourco at tho tlmo whon that resourco pos
sesses tho greatoat market value. ThlB In
volves tho Judicious killing of tho malo sealB
when thoy nrc two or throo years old and the
disposal of tholr polts to tho best advantage.
A third duty Is to ascertain what aro tho real
needs of tho holploSs nntlvo Inhabitants of tho
seal Islands, and to lv thorn tho air .that Is
best suited for tholr montal, moral and physi
cal nnturos.
Recent criticism of tho government's policy
of tnklng tho skins of aoals In view of tho de
pleted condition of tho herd is basod on defi
cient knowlcdgo. Tho fur seal being a highly
polygamous animal, and males nnd fomales bo
In:: lrn In equal numbers, it follows, that un
der tho conditions thut havo prevailed arid
Btlll contlnuo tho numbor of males produced
Ih far In excess of tho requirements of nature
for the perpetuation of tho species.
Tho preservation nnd lncreaso of tho soal
herd Is entlroly compatible with Judicious Bac
rlflco of a limited numbor of young malo Bonis
each year, ami this Is quite as truo whon the
hord Is doplctcd as when the rookeries aro
crowded to tlioir full capacity. When tho pres
ence of n sufficient reserve Is dotermlnod by
responsible odlcors of tho govornmont, the
utilization of tho surplus males for their pelts
and Incidentally for native food Is Justified and
demnndod by common sonso, and fulfills tho
utmost domnnds of both tho spirit nnd tho
lottor of gonulno conservation.
If not a slnglo mnlo seal wero to bo killed
on tho Islands or nt soa during tho next five
yenrs, not a slnglo additional aoal would 'bo
produced as a result of that course. If not a
single malo seal wero to bo killed on the
lehinda or at sea during tho next 20 years, not
a slnglo seal would bo nddod to tho hord that
will not bo added If tho present policy of re
stricted killing of surplus males is continued.
