. KILLING OF MALE SEALS . AUTHORISED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Rec. July 25, 10.35 p.m.) New York, July 25.

Tho Government considers this tho'best means of conserving. tho herds.' The action has been criticised, and, despite support given it by the chief authorities on seal life, there has been some insinuation that Mr. Nagel is playing into the hands of corporatewealth —the islands being leased to sealing companies by tho Government.
