George in Ber- ing Sea. From about 1745 until the district of Alaska was annexed 32 COMMERCIAL FISHERIES OF ALASKA IN 1905. to the United States in 1867 the Russians took from these islands 3,354,478 skins. In 1870 the Alaska Commercial Cornpa*iy secured from the Government the exclusive right to kill fur seals on the islands, and retained this right until 1890, when it was succeeded by the North American Commercial Company, which is still in possession. The decrease in the number of seals sinc...e 1867 has been enormous. It is estimated that in 1867 the herd numbered about 5,000,000, while in 1905 it was only about 200,000. A considerable part of this decrease is attributed to the killiiig of female seals by the pelagic sealing ves- sels. On their way to the breeding grounds the^eals follow the coast line from Santa Barbara Channel northward and throughout this jour- ney they are eagerly sought by the pelagic sealers. A little measure of relief to the harassed herd was extended by the decision of the Ber- ing Sea Arbitration Tribunal in 1893, but the slaughter was soon resumed.
