Re-Leasing Islands
For Growing Foxes,
" Interests OMahan
jj (From, a, Btaf t Correspondent,)
- "lyAfiHlKGTON,, gep"t Hi'-JtSpfcolal Tel,
tgram.) Through a protest hiade by
Beach Taylor of Omaha, the question of!
government leasing of lahds In Alaska
is very likely to be settled by the decision
of- the attorney general. A fortnight ago
XV. B. Taylor qf Omaha and Chicago
came to Washington to protest against
the government re-leasing certain islands
in Alaska waters, the lease for use 'of
these islands resting- the propagating
company, of which Beach Taylor Is presi
dent'. These Islands have been Used by the
company for the propagating of blue
foxes which has grown to be a very
lucrative business. When Taylor was an
employe of the Treasury department ho
was sent to AhuU'a to Inspect the sea)
herd and to report upon conditions as
he found them. Taylor became Imbued
with the idea that the propagation of
blue foxes was not only possible, but
wpujd prove highly' profitable. A. com
pany was formed In 1681 and the propaga
tion of tho blue fox was begun on five
islands situated about sixty miles from
ICodlac Twenty-one foxes were brought
from St George island, one of the seal
Iflands and were liberated on the, island
which Taylor's company had leased from
the government.
Lately the bureau of fisheries adver
Used 'the re-leasing of these Islands, which
brought Taylor to Washington and he
has been able to stop the lease, pending4
a decision of the attorney general which
may take in- tho entire question of seal
Islands, fox-- islands and coat araa as
well.

The celebration was thrilling from start

sounded and the soldiers turned In for
the night. Lights were turned out and
the evening went on momentarily In
peace and serenity.
- Then came the attack of the Invaders.
Hostile ships had crept Into the harbor
of Bulcrctrac and had opened fire. The
sentries gave tho alarm, bugles sounded
the call to arms and the troops rushed
to tho shore line to tepel the landing of
the enemy. Signals were flashed b'ack
and forth by the signal corps detachment
calling for hflp from the fleet In the
other end of tho harbor. The boats re

That Offer to Bryan
"to Keep Him Silent
Gets Smiles or Scowls
WASHINGTON, S:pt 21.-Specials-Official
Washington received the offer ot
the New York" World to pay Secretary of
State Bryan (8,000 a year If he would
forego his Chautauqua lectures with
mixed amusement and wrath. The re
publicans wero amused and tho democrats
were angry. Secretary Bryan himself was
plainly displeased at thet proffer, but he
flatly refused to say a word about It.
Senator Vardaman, a close friend ot
Bryan, was Impatient with the newspaper.
"It's nqne of their business," he sold,
"and I suppose Mr. Bryan will take the
Incident with, the silence It deserves. Ho
has the right to employ hla own time
as he sees fit"
"Even though Secretary Bryan feels
that he is right In mounting the lecture
platform as an attraction sandwiched
between Tyrolean yodlers and dancers,"
said Representative Brltton of Illinois, "I
believe the congress should provide for
him. The secretary, I understand, la
forced to do his own marketing and buys
provisions as cheaply as the common
laborer. This Is a deplorable situation.
It he cannot live on the salary now paid
the. of flee of secretary of state, the. gov
ernment and not a newspaper should
stand for the deficit."
Representative L. E. Pyer of Missouri
thinks the newspaper Is supergenerous.
"It's killing. Isn't It, the way that paper
wants to spend. Its money?" remarked
Mr. Dyer. "Why, it's only three months
ago that they paid Colonel Mulhall 110,000
to talk and now they are offering Mr.
Bryan almost as much to stop talking.
You, can't please some people, try as you
will."
