Experts appear to agree that the seals will be exterminated " soon unless energetic steps are taken, as the protection afforded by th regulations agreed on by the Paris court of arbitration seem to be insufficient, even when most carefully executed. In view of the interest which British officials take in the subject, it would not be wurprlsingr If public attention was directed to it in the House of Commons.

ALASKAN nOLXDARY DISPUTE. England Untitled to Territory Claimed hy the Vnlted State. .

territorial rights In Alaska, as against the Uritlah claims there, have, again been brought to the attention of the State Department. It is true that under the reports of the American boundary commission and the Nagle Canadian boundary commission of last year England lays claim to large and valuable portions of Alaska, both in the interior and on the seaboard, which had previously been regarded as American tertltcry. It is also true that both survey commissions came to very nearly the same conclusion regarding the questions which they had been appointed to settle. There were, however, divergencies between them regarding certain matters which cannot be overlooked. The fundamental fact to be kept In mind regarding Alaska and the Joint British and American survey Of It is that the boundaries will not be finally settled until they have been made the subject of diplomatic negotiations between the governments at London and at Washington under terms of the treaty of 1825 between 1 f 11 ado unit naat Krltaln Viv Whlrll trtatV our own rights must be determined. SSince the completion of the surveys it is the negotiating authorities of the two powers In Interest that must attempt to determine the validity of their respective claims in so far as they may conflict, and the "English lenira that the line shall be drawn so as to cross someof the broad inlets in the southwest through which they can obtain . direct access to their own domain from the ea, and near which they can establish fortifications that may yet be serviceable to them.

Oil Development in the State. Greenfield Republican. : Producing oil wells are now " running in the counties of, Adams, Wells, Blackford, Jay, Randolph, Delaware, Grant and Huntington, and in other counties there are forty-five oil wells which have been developed from gas wells. Oil leasers are now busily engaged securing territory, and before snow flies 1 in the fall the Indiana oil field will be developed and found to extend from Terre Haute on the west to the St. Mary and Mercer county fields in Ohio, with Indianapolis in the .center of the south edge. There are paying wells near Terre Haute and. good wells exist near Nobleoville. It .will also be found that few counties will surpass Hancock as an oil field. It will be developed in due time. Now to show what pront there is in oil wells we fluote th'e following: Oil is now worth 576 cents a barrel. During December the Indian. oir wells averaged for each well per day 21,2 barrels; January, 23 barrels, February, 245 barrels. Thus you see it would make each well worth nearly $15 daily and easily $100 per week. Some of the wells up in Jay and Wells counities average 150

barrels daily, so those people know what it means to "strike oil" and str.ke it rich. " New wells are being put down right along. In January there were 223 wells completed, with ninety-nine dry holes or gas wel.s, and an output of 3,150 barrels dai.y. In February 171 completed wells, seventy-two dry holes, and a daily output of 2,245 barrels. There are now in March in process of drilling 155 wells and rigs up for 111 more. We do not know the exact number of wells in the State, but it can be seen that they are increasing rapidly, and as each producing well means about $100 a week it can readily be seen how oil wells will add to a county's wealth. We trust and believe that it will be struck rich in old Hancock, and if so we will know in its fullest sense the mean' ing of that term: "That man has struck oil." ' '.. History of a Pension Fraud. Special to the Indianapolis Journal... s TERRE HAUTE, Ind.; March 22.

A MAN OF THE WORLD LOU ISO- MATSON HAS. WORN MALE ATTIRE FOR TWENTY-SIX YEARS. Arrested in San Francisco Attempt' Inar o fa!i a Check English Woman with a Strnnsc History. San Francisco Letter in New York Herald. A few days ago a well-dressed stranger, in a stylish suit of gray, checked tweed, stepped into one of the smaller banks and presented a check for payment. It was payable to "Louise Matson." The cashier was mildly astonished and, scenting a thief, called in a jolleenian. " The stranger had indorsed on the back of the check the name of "Louise Matson" in a bold flowing hand. He was promptly arrested for forgery. In custody the stranger confessed that she was a woman masquerading in men's clothes. She added coolly ,that this was the first time she had been compelled to reveal her, identity to strangers in twenty-six years. The woman was promptly released, and a few days after told me the eventful story of her life. When I called upon her at the hotel where she was stopping she was dressed in an ordinary suit of easy fitting tweed,' a frock coat, waistcoat and trousers of conventional cut. She wore a white four-in-hand tie, and her . stiff sandy hair was brushed up pompadour. Stout, plain, with an honest face, she looked like nothing so much as a solid old English 'squire. She is about forty. She has traveled all over the world, been engaged In various kinds of busineSs, made money, spent it, and happened In 'Frisco rather short Hence the presentation of a check and the . revelation of her identity. Her full name is Louise Blaxton Matson. and on the hotel register it appears plain "L. B. Matson." "They had me well cornered," she said, with a laugh, referring to her arrest, "so I had fo tell the truth and the case w-as promptly dropped. What about my life? Nothing much. I was born In one of the English shires, had a number of governesses who couldn't control me. and finally a tutor. I used to run away from him, 'play hookey,' we used to call It, and go hunting or bird's nesting. I liked that very much better. t ' "I was eighteen when, pop! it came into my head that I would don this style of costume. My tastes were so entirely masculine that it seemed the only natural thing to do. and my looks were likewise masculine enough to warrant the change. They used to call me 'Happy Jack' when I was a girl, and I concluded one day to take up the Idea in real earnest. I simply chose the costume for the greater freedom and comfort It afforded. I never did it as a pose or anything like that. BECAME A GLOBE TROTTER. "I had an income from property left in trust for me that fatrij. check was from this source and so I was free . to travel and amuse myself for several years at a time. 'This accounts for my tanned and rugged -appearance. I never had a headache in all my life, and as for my nerves, well, I don't belong to the Alonzo and Melissa type. "My greatest , weakness was always a liking to spend money. ' So I went up to London to try my hand at it. I stocked up my wardrobe and began life. I have always, worn conventional male clothing, and always keep In the prevailing style. This made me Inconspicuous and never drew attention to any oddities of my figure. From London I went to Paris and traveled all over the continent, to Baden-Baden, Rome, Monaco, etc. At Monte Carlo I used to gamble every night, and I won a good deal of money. I always bet on my age. I met a good many Americans thee, and took a liking to them. They nor anyone else with whom I came in contact ever suspected me ' of being a woman, and, ! fact. I got so used to it that I never thout, about the matter myself. VI mixed freei with people, and often acted as escort for ladies. I am very fond of music, and that was why I liked the foreign cities better than England. The opera I went to very often, and, with a crush hat under my arm, I, too? occasionally went out between the acts for a 'clove.' I enjoyed my privileged immensely, I tell you. "My trips were taken for the purpose of observing men and things, and as I con-, ducted myself as any gentleman should, I was never molested.. Didn't the girls try to flirt with me? Oh, yes, now and then, but one always knows how to get rid of them, and they generally regarded me in a fatherly light. I was not troubled to deceive anybody for no one ever asked me if I was a woman, and I didn't go about volunteering information on the subject. "I spent several years In India, then back to 'England. Then an Irresistible desire to roam took me to Australia. I" didn't have as much money as I wanted to spend, and so I went Into business out there the land and house agency business what you call real estate here. I did well and made money, and got the reputation of being a good business man. For amusement I hunted kangaroos. That's great sport. ' "I am fond of all sorts of sports, especially of fishing and hunting. I came to this country about two years ago, and one season I ran a hotel at Ben Lemond. I minded my own affairs, and I was naturally rather shv about making acquaintances. I said no ape had ever susplcioned that I was a worian. I'll have to take that back. One did. lie was an American, of course. Americans always 'get there' the Englishman, never. 1 He was a baggage porter. But when he looked at me quizzically I gave him such a round of strong language that he was soon convinced that, there was nothing unusual about me. CAN SWEAR A BIT. "Oh, yes, I have to confess that I do qwear occasionally. I couldn't help it, living around among men. And . I am awfully quick tempered. In fact, if I had not been so self-reliant and had a good deal of will power, I dare say, under the circumstances, I could never have carried out my adventures and roving life. Not that there have been any dangers or adventure. I never go ajmed. 1 shake dice once In a while, just to stand In' with the boys, and I take a glass of beer or whisky occasionally, just as your San Francisco women do. But I am not fond of a roistering life." "Mr. Matson" rose, walked over to the i.l tnnr o .iMirrl, nf little Ifavnnna tut rif the drawer, and, offering me one, lit the other herself. "Yes. I smoke," "Mr. Matson' said, "but always cigars, never cigarettes. I don't care anything about betting on the races. I much prefer a quiet read with some of my favorite authors. "Was I ever bothered any? Very rurely. Once I had a 'set to.' As I said, I am quick tempered, and I can't take a nasty word. So I hit a. man who said something to me that was insultiag. He knocked me out, and he knocked me down. Perhaps it was a good lesson for me," "Mr. Matson" added, with a twinkle in her eye. "Regarding my arrest. I can't say that I blame the bank officials. The check was a good sized one, and, presenting it as I did, of course It looked very queer to see me take money that was to be paid to Louise Matson," when I was dressed as a man. You ' may guess that they wre astonished when I told them who anl what I was. It was the hardest thing 1 ever did, though." "Mr. Matson," since the revelation of her I fdima museum managers, and ehe added, ; laughing: "If I! ever 'go broke' I'll know What 1 can uu, 4 won i uive iu eisnr. This remarkable woman is well built, weighs about one hundred anl sixty-five pounds, and neither in her walk or bearing would reveal her Hex. She has a florid, smooth face, Is quiet, and even rather retiring in her manner, and, save for nr cne eccentricity, betrays no out-of-the-way char--acteristlcs. She is a shrewd observer, talk easily and well, is well educated, has a voice that Is rather high for a man and rather deep for a woman. She usually dresses In a frock coat, wears a silk hat and English gaiters, and carries a cane and gloves. She has a decided "British accent in her speech, but. despite the fact that she has lived among men for a quarter of a century, there Is nothing coarse or offensive in her bearing. "I dislike Uu notoriety that my bank adventure has brought upon me Intensely, i It

made me very cross. But then." he added with a Gallic shrug of . her shoulders, "It's all over1 In a lifotimo." "Mr. Matson" Is not fathering hertfelf with any "plans." jind will ko on wearing her masculine attire, and will -continue to make her way through the world as unobtrusively as possible, despite the unlucky incident which laid bare her etrango, and wandering career. . .

Last night John Barlow, a fireman, and. a brother of itollceman George Barlow, went into a raloon on Indiana avenue, and while there Patrolman Tomlinson Ftepped Into the place. Barlow Is somewhat of a ventriloquist, and he thought., he wouid have a little sport with the officer, with whom he Is well acquainted. He walked over near the door, and, throwing his voice so as to bound as though It came from outside, he said: "Tomllnson, . If you come.t outside I will beat you to death." . The voice sounded exactly as If it came from some one outside the door, and the policeman made a bold dash for the door. As fortune would have It, a colored man was Just passing the place as the officer dnshed out of the door, and the colored gentleman, seeing a blue coat and brass buttons coming his way, ran. That, of course, settled the matter In the mind of the stalwart policeman, and he gave chase. The two are said to have run over most of the territory In that end o town, when Tomlinson finally captured his man and started triumphantly for the place from whence, they started. The negro pleaded that he had "don nothln' to be arrested for," and the more he begged the tighter became the policeman's grasp on his arm. At the salcw.n, however,-Tomllnson was persuaded to release his prisoner, and that person immediately repaired to the police station. whcrf he put In his complaint that patrolm'.n Tomllnson was drunk and had chased him all over one end of town, t After Barlow had recovered from his convulsion ' of laughter he followed the colored man to the police station, nrrlving Just as the negro had finished his story.' Then Barlow explained the whole matter to him and Captain Campbell. For a minute the negro looked skeptical, then said, in an injured tone: . , "Well, dat was a mean trick, dat is all I kin say fer you. Here I don' gon and dressed all up for to go and see my girl, and I don' had to spend the evening runnln from a policeman." North-Side Republicans Entertain.
