0NELfs ON THE KExyEBrc.-The ;r,era.t
I'D this question increases As the time an
p'o"ches ior the Presentation of the fact. to
'he committee. 1t is indeed a question Of
great Importance to the people along the Ken
neoec and should engage the attention Of the
legislators of the whole State. The areu.
nienls' pro and con, can be placed in nut
'heii' On the outside is the livelihood of
many OF the poorer people all along the river.
rom It's mouth to Augusta, and the protec-
ton OF the fish; on the other side ia only
the increase of accumulated wealth. Years
ago II was the pra.tice of hundreds of the
iaooring men to engage in catching smells
along the river. The delicious fish readily
round market and any of them would dur.
ing the winter season realize from 500
10 9Ioo- Now it is impossible for man to
catch bakers dozen. if he fishes an entire
day. Why? Simply because the seines A, and
below Bath form as formidable a barrier as a
"aiieu Jam would. The few that filter
through these selnes are of little consequence
towards furnishing 4 living to a family. Be-
sues, the smelts have become a variety in
our markets. Prof. Baird saws thew come
TO our river TO spawn, and how long would il
take to render this species as scarce as the
herrlngs are now, that once were so numer-
Gus, II tins lndiscriminate slaughter goes on:
IL would seem strange indeed if our legiSla-
tors, who annually appropriate so much for
the protection and stocking the rivers with
fish, should neglect to set their disapproval on
this monopoly. For not only does it tend to
extermlnate the smells, but each draught con-
talns multitudes Of the striped bass-another
delicious but very rare fish at the present
TIME Who Is it that desires this monopoly
continued! Those wealthy men who have en-
gagged in the SEEMING of smelts for years. II
has proved a rare source of income to them
IN the past, land of course they are DESTROYS of
perpetuating it. Massachusetts, endured the
evils of this seine fishing until she had no
'meits in her waters. The legislature then in
terposed and by prohibiting the use of seines
mas been able topartially restock her streams
IL Is to prevent the necessity of such future
legislation that the petitioners seek present
action on the subject. 1t is less expensive to
prevent the determination than to restock cur
rivers with smelts in the future. There is
little doubt but that our legislature will act in
the interest of the many and prevent the
destruction of smelts and bass.

FOREIGN NEWS.


NEW York, February ). A London dis.
patch says that as soon as the Irish members
had been suspended, a meeting of the party
was held, and after discussion il was decided
to issue manifesto to the Irish people ask
ing them to remain quiet and not allow them
selves to be forced into a conflict with the
armed forces of the Empire. During the
night Parnell received several communica.
tons from Liberal clubs throughout England
condemning the action of the Speaker, and il
is supposed that the agitation in England
against coercion would be carried on vgor-
ously. The address Of Irish members to the
Irish people was received in Dublin last
night. 1t is signed by G. s. Parnell and
thirty three Home Rule members Of ParliA-
ment.
NEW YORK, February 6. A special cable
says: The excitement in ireland, consequent
upon the arrest of McDavitt, has given place
to quiet determination to make the best
preparations for meeting the coercion act
Throughout the country the greatest indigna-
ton prevails. McDaviu was personally
known in almost every town and village Of
the four provinces.
LONDON, February 5. The Times approves
McDavitts arrest, and says McDavitt has
been an active agent of sedition, vcrging on
treason, and that he is an adventurer &C.
quainted with the springs and methods of the
Fenian conspiracy.
McDavitt will arrive at Dartmoor Prison
to-day. The authorities there are warned
not to place to much confidence in the ABB
sence of pro-Irish feeling there.
1t is stated that even after the passing Of
the coercion bill not more than four arrests
will be made in connection with the land
league. 1t is not improbable that If matters
continue in their present satisfactory con-
dition the coercion bill, as far as the land
league is concerned, will be almost dead
letter. Not so, however, with the fenians.
Their organization will be mercilesslv dealt
with. The authorities have auhcntic in
formation to the number of rifles illicitly
imported into the country almost to within .
hundred, and where to Law hands on large
number. This perhaps is official braggadocio,
but when informers are wanted in Ireland
they are always forthcoming. Experienced
detectives on the Irish staff are at present in
England making inquiries in middle and
northern towns respecting ratification Of
tenian society.
Death Of Carlyle the Author.
Thomas Carlyle died at g. 80 this morning

He will be buried in the churchyard Of his
birthplace, Ecclcfachan Dumfriesshire.

Interview with Jay Gould.

NEw YORK, February 6. The World will
tomorrow, contain an interview with Jay
Gould, in regard to the consolidation of the
telegraph companies, in which he says: The
consolidation is not likely to be disturbed by
any legislative or judicial action. The OBJ
ject of the consolidation was to carry out n
long cherished plan for developing in the
United States an efficient system of cheap
teegraphy on great scale, both by sea and
by land. When | was in Europe in 1879. |
was struck by seeing how much more freely
telegraph was used in ordinary private bust
ness there than in this country. ! am very
sure that under one system, without conflict
ing interests and with the expenses of only
one organization. such economies can be
introduced into American tclegraphy that the
rates can be gradually and systematically
cheapened without imparing the efficiency of
the service. 1t will be the policy of the new
company to effect this.
The new Company has under contract
through the new cable company organized at
ALBANY, two cables between this country and
England. which are TO be laid early next sum-
mer. Cables will also be laid from Cuba,
where they will connect with our present sys-
TEN to the other West India islands and to
Brazil and other parts of South America. as
well rs from San Francisco to China Japan,
Oceanica and Australia, with another line by
way of Puget Sound to Alaska, and Northern
Asia connected in kamiscka with the Rus
sian system. so that at no distant date
st. Petersburg will be in communication
with New York by way of Asia, as well as
Europe and England will reach her Australian
colonies through New York, and by our
American lines more cheaplv and expedi
tiously than over English wires through the
Red Sea and by way of India. We contem-
plate general cable and telcgraphic system
around the world, and we contemplate such
a system as an American system. of which
New York and not London shall be the CEN
tire. | see no reason why the nited States
shouldpermit a position which geographically
belongs to us to be taken away by England.
while the rival companies ofthis country are
fighting for domestic business. They could
neither do the domestic business on sound
principles nor do anything to compete with
Great Britain for the general Geographic bust
ness of the world. Now we have changed
all this. how completely Won may judge when
tell YOU that since the consolidation was
effected. $40, 900, 600 have been subscribed to
carry our new cable connections into effect.
