Gen. Weaver Expects to Throw the Elec-
ton Into the House.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July Thames B.
Weaver, Greenback candidate for President,
spent Sunday in this city. He is en- route to
Scattsboro, Ala, where tomorrow he begins the
canvass in that State. He was interviewed and
spoke very candidly of the coming campaign.
He is confident of his ability to carry Ala
bama, Tennessee, Texas, Mississippi, West
Virginia, Missouri and Arkansas, and says he
will make heavy gains in Maryland, Iowa,
Michigan and Minnesota. He says if he does
not receive a majority of the electoral votes
neither of the other candidates WILL and the
matter will again go to the House of Repre-
sentatives. Ii thrown into the House he will
stand an equal chance with the rest. De La
Matyr, be claims, has got the balance of pow
Ell there, and no concessions will there be
made by his partisans favorable either to DEM
ocrats or Republicans. If no agreement is
reached the matter will become constitution
al question, and the Senate will decide what
disposition will be made of it. He says he will
confine himself to no section, but will stump
every State he can before the election. Kear-
ney, he says, will lend him all his support, and
will give him California beyond doubt.

Kansas, last Sunday, arrived safely and found
corn and vegetables planted by them doing
finely. Jack Bittle, a scout from Texas, was
found there, and stated that a thousand men
from Texas could be in the territory in ten
days. Hill wrote from Arkansas City, at
which point he telegraphed to numerous par
ties along the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
and Kansas & Pacific Railroads to push on at
once. 1t looks as though the invasion of the
territory would be formidable, and that if the
military are instructed to eject the intruders
there will be a conflict.

THE FISHERIES.
How the United States Were Cheated by
the Halifax Comnissionl

HOW the United States Were cheated by
the Halifax Commission,l
GLOUCESTER, July 10.-Prof. Henry Youle
Hind, who was employed by the litigants on
both sides to prepare an analysis and index of
documents of the Halifax fishery commission,
is out in another letter exposing the manner in
which the official statistics of the Dominion
fisheries were falsifed in the documentary evil
dence presented ito the commission, in order
to enhance the importance of the colonial fish
cries and to depreciate the value of the free ad-
mission of the Canadian caught fish into Amer
lean markets. The professor instances that Of
fetal statements of the Prince Edwards Is
land customs authorities show the value of fish
exported to the United States in 1872 as $137,-
T46 while the value of exports to all other
countries was 1856, 1902.
These figures were manipulated before being
presented to the commission so as to make it
appear without changing the total, that the
value of fish exports to the United States was
S9S, S3S and to other countries $S0,010. These
and numerous other discrepancies lead Pro-
fessor Hind to declare that no reliance can be
placed upon any fish trade ratios deduced from
tables presented in evidence before the COM
mission.
