An entire stranger to the mind-reader took a pen-knife into another room in the building and placed it between the leaves of a directory, and stood the directory between two other in the of a large desk. The latter object waa in the inner part of the room behind a counter, and a swinging door hnng between the counter and the inner office. Mr.

"I simply put my mind into a paasive condition, reduce the mental camera to a blank, and do whatever first comes into my mind. It has been said that the handkerchief idea is a fake.

POACHERS MUST GO. British and American Gunboats for Bering Sea. THE LAND CLAIMS COURT. President Appoints Judges and Other The I to Sail for Sas Diego Saturday. WASHINGTON CITY, June The government is actirely engaged in preparing to carry out a plan for a cloee season In Bering sea this year.

It is understood that the force of revenue cutters now in those waters is to be supplemented by one or more naval vessels at the earliest possible moment The necessary orders had not been sent out from the navy department up to the close of business today, and detail officers will not discuss the future movements ot the department, but there is reason to believe that orders will not long be delayed. There art four vessels at Mare island ready for sea. Tha British men-of-war available for service in Alaskan waters are few in number. The larger part of the Pacific squadron was sent to Chile some months ago and has not yet returned. The British government, it is known, wishes the agreement to be strictly observed.

A proposition was made by Minister Pauncefote that author ity be given the British government to station an agent on the seal islands to make sura that the North American Commercial Company does not kill more than 7,500 seals, as fixed in tha agreement, but on this ground the request was promptly denied by the president, who lelt that it was a reflection upon tha good faith of this government that could not be permitted. For another reason, however, he saw fit to allow a British agent to visit the seal islands, and that was in order that he might see for himself and report to his government for its guidance in arbitration the actual state of the seal fisheries. Meanwhile the poachers are believed to be taking a large number of akins and killing the mother seals while they are at sea in search of food for their young.

THE PARK BOARD.

Commissioners OflTer to Work Without Salary. A meeting of the park tu held laat night, Messrs. Daniel Jones, W. E. Bailey, C.

N. Evans, Abram Barker and VT. £. Borgiu attending. Mr.

Evans called attention to the suggestion made by several people that the commissioners take steps to acquire the university grounds. Mr. Bailey said that the ten acres were valued at so that the tract was altogether oat of the question. The charter limited the board to an issuo oJ bonds, part of which would have to be devoted to beautifying the property. He would dislike to see the tract cut np into building lots, but he did not see how the city could acquire such a valuable tract He believed the price asked was too high, but even at it would be beyond their reach.

It might be possible to acquire a part perhaps and make a square of It, but he believed that for considerably less money they could get land that would do equally as well for the purpose. Mr. Barker thought tney were all agreed that the duty of the commission was to obtain land now while it could be acquired at a price within their means. The best they coald do would be to recommend to the council the purchase of one or pxore tract. Mr.

Bailey moved that a committee be appointed to ask the regents what price and the best terms they would accept It would be neither legal nor advisable to issue bonds for the pun-ose at present If the board found it to be out of the question to meet the terms of the regents they would then have to seek elsewhere. The chair appointed Messrs. Bailey, Barker and Evans. The chairman brought up the subject of the request of the city council that the commissioners consent to forego their salarv. Mr.

Bailey moved that each member agree to this. He, himself, had never drawn any salary. Mr. Jones would be willing to consent If the pioney were applied to hiring a superintendent Mr. Barker thought such action on their part would establish a splendid precedent Mr.

Burgess said it would not help the city, as the amount was not drawn from the salary fund but from the park fund, no part of which could be alienated for any other purpoee. Mr. Evans thought it was a bad precedent; there was plenty of work to be done, and he believed that every man should be paid for hia work. Mr. Bailey was in favor of each member refunding what he had alrsady drawn, besides retraining from drawing any salary, at least until the city was in a better condition.

No action was taken. Mr. Bailey referred to the opinion that the board had been inactive. He believed there was irreat Esisap; rehension on the subject The had been very desirous of obtaining school lands, but none suitable had been placed on the market. it at necessary to obtain information as to the extent of land litely to be available and the rrrbable cost The first purpose of the should be to make a very careful selection.

even if suitable land were in sight the park fund was not a condition yet to enable the to purchase any large cjuaaUtr. The citr Is not urgent need ot a park site nor. and it far w.ser to submit to a delav than to pay an exorbitant sum which would involve the city in debt. The board is verv earaestiv inquiring into all the conditions to be' considered. The board adjourned for a week after discussing several points of relatively less importance.

FBOX THE KODIAK IILASDB.

The Condition of the Nsttrei and Their Education. Mr. and Mrs. W. E.

and their three children, of Kodiak, Alaska, are at the Arlington hotel Five yean ago Mr. Roscoe, who is a native of California, went to Kodiak to open and take charge of a government school there, and he Is now his first trip home. The Kodiak islands lie some 600 miles west of Sitka, and until Mr. Roscoe went there no government school had been established. The children are learning quite readily," said he last evening, "and are making satisfactory "We have a mixed population.

The natives are called Aleutee, but they are really Esquimaux, nothing more, nothing less. The Russians came into the Kodiak islands, and there are many Russian and Esquimau. Lately Scandinavians have entered tha islands, and marrying with the natives and the halfbreeds have produced a new strain of blood. Many of the children are perfectly white. "The main Industry is the salmon canning.

Year before last nearly 200,000 cases of salmon were sent down from the Kodiak islands, and last year about 150,000. The seal fishing is also an important matter. Tou see Kodiak la in tha outside of Bering sea and no one can interfere with the sealing there in open ocean. So far as I can learn there is no spparent diminution in the number of seals about the Kodiak islands. Indeed, tha catch thia year la better than for some time before.

"There la no mining on the ialands at present, although some promising gold and silver pects have been found. Then, too, there are good veins of coal at various points along tha whole Alaskan coast. "The English language ia fast becoming dominant In all of Alaska There waa a time not many years ago when tha Russian tongue was in common use, and in tha Kodiak ialands it is still more generally employed than the English. But the latter baa come into Sitka and is rapidly gaining ground even in Kodiak. I notice now that the children at play on the streets use English expressions In ing to each other.

Of course we teach them that in the school. At first their Ignorance of the language made it hard for us to teach them other lessons, but they are going ahead steadily in reading, writing, arithmetic and geography. It is difficult for them to do much In the way of mathematics. "One of my objects In coming to the statea la to get either the government or some of the missionary societies in a school and orphanage which I wish to see established at Kodiak. The faotistbat drink is making terrible ravages among the natives.

They have a beer of their own which is pretty bad, and added to that the Chinese employed in the canneries have brought in a Chinese whisky. The natives, who will bay this at any price, also get liquor of the sailors. These Aleutes seem unable to stand the effect of alcohol, and are really dving rapidly. Sometimes a whole family will die, and orphan boys and girls with no one to look after them are common enough. They grow up in filth, ignorance and vice, and become worse even than their parents were.

"To prevent this demoralization I wish to an orphanage and school where thesa children may be trained and educated. Tha orphans could be cared for then, and such people as could pay for an education could get it there. I should also like to see an industrial department in which tha boys and girls could be taught trades. "The influence of the Russian church on the Aleutes seems to me far from good. The arc and immoral, and have never tried to elevate the people.

They Insist, however, on the observance of about 200 great days, on which occasion they and their get intoxicated. On the whole these are very demoralizing." SHIPPING ON rrGIT SOUND.
