PROTECTION FOE QUIZ EIsHERIEs.
The Capture and Sale Of Immature Striped
Bass and Rock Fish.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN Every one who ID
acquainted with the facts, upon which you
might properly base . much longer article
than tina. appearing in THE REPUBLICAN of
April 4, will thank you for calling the atten-
zion of the community, even In the most brief
manner, to subject Of 90 great Importance to
all the residents Of Washington. While you
have referred to the great decrease in the
shad and herring In the Potomac consequent
upon the modes Of fishing, and cannot too
strongly or too often urge the adoption Of the
most efficient measures for the protection and
artificial multiplication OF these fish, there is
another species, Of peculiar value to the people
residing upon the Potomac, which IL fast be-
coming scarce, and which especially demands
protection. l refer to the striped bass, or
rock fish, found at almost all seasons In the
Potomac, and formerly extremely abundant.
This fish, as 10 we'll known, attains . weight
Of from ffty to eighty pounds, though rarely
seen In our markets. even OF the former size.
But even II II reached at maturity no greater
weight than eight or ten pounds-with what
earnestness ought those who can influence
public opinion in this matter to protest that
"the Potomac fisheries should be protected, !"
when such fish 10 continually offered for sale
in our markets a. "bunch fish ," the inai-
viduals not weighing more than eight or ten
ounces?
II, as you observe, flaws should be passed
limiting the number Of seines and gill-nets,
and also the time OF fshing," as tending to
prevent the entire extinction of the herring
ard shad, why should not the most stringent
laws be enacted to prevent the sale of striped
bass until they have obtained a certain weight,
say four pounds! The United States com mis-
sion Of fish and fisheries lie successfully solving
the problem of stocking new waters with
shad, salmon, and other useful food fishes,
and the authorities of most of the States are
co operating In this important work, those of
Virginia and Maryland being particularly con-
cerned In regard to the fisheries In the Poto-
mac. Does II not seem exceedingly unwise, to
say the least, to neglect the preservation and
protection of so valuable hsh as the striped
bass, with which the Potomac Ia still partially
supplied, and which, II permitted to attain to
q considerable degree its natural growth,
would furnish an immensely greater amount
OF food than 1t produces at present In the
wickedly wasteful manner OF its capture and
sale already referred tot
Without discussing at present the manner
In which this protection OF the rock fish may
be most effectually accomplished, It would
seem probable that this may be done TO q
very great degree, # not entirely, by the enact
ment by Congress for this District, and BY the
States OF Virginia and Maryland, OF q Law pro-
hibiting the capture and sale OF any fish of
that kind having less weight than may be
deemed the best standard for the ultimate
production Of the greatest amount OF food.

transmission Of fourteen alarms Of Gre for the
last month. His report states that oil the
telegraph lines and all the Instruments, except
the machinery OF the Fifth-street bell, are In
good order and working we'll. The large cast
steel hammer spring OF the bell broke q few
days since, which disabled the machine to per-
form Its appropriate work.
The break In the machinery Of the bell 10

sgain put In service. Mr.. Miles further, re-
Ported that on Saturday last he put into full

On the talking circuits which connect the sew
eral IRE companies with the IRE alarm office.
The Instruments work well, and the fremen
are learning readily to manipulate the keys, 60
that he had already succeeded In establishing
symtematic reports from each company fol-
lowing every alarm Of FIRE, and after the
striking the hour Of the day, morning, noon
vsntageous arrangement, for by II every ir-
regularity in the striking Of the gongs and
bells must be reported to headquarters without
delay.
A communication was received from num-
Der Of citizens Of Georgetown asking that an
additional fire alarm box be placed 10 George
town, somewhere between Christ church and
West and Congress streets, as that part OF the

ees, and has no alarm box nearer than Mont.

The Morris and Essex Railroad
Company has within a few days dis
charged number of firemen and other
employees at Belvidere and PhIlipsburg,
for activity in the late strike. When
the discharges were commenced, Wal
ter Kichline, chairman of the Commit
tee on Grievances of the Fremen, dis.
appeared, and 1t is rumored that his
disappearance was due to a letter from
some of the firemen warning him to
'get away with his life while he had a
chance" He is charged by his fellow
workingmen with having "sold out his
brotherhood during the strike"
