How They Fish Through the Ice.

Hartford Comm Times.
The ponds are frozen over and pickerel fishing
will be in order within few days, Several
Hartford gentlemen are we'll prepared for bust
ness. A tobacco dealer has several thousand
minnows for bait in the cellar of his Statestreet
store. Capt Sherman generally has a good
supply. A North End gentleman has 10, 200 at
least in tanks in his cellar, captured out in the
Blue Hill road section The little fish sell at 81
per 100 usually. Mr. Lane, "Ted" Naedele and
several other gentlemen have fine lots
of tip-ups Of improved models. A we'll
known dentist has had fifty new ones
made this winter Favorite places in this
section for pickerel fishing through the
ice are Weatbersfeld cove, Keeny's cove, Bolton
reservoir, Snipsic lake. Shuttle Meadow lake,
Cranberry pond and Pennington river. Pickerel
will not bite on Sundays Down New London
way there is good sport 'iigging' frost fish on
the Thames. The fishermen use no bait. He
takes a couple of sticks two feet in length
Upon the end of one he ties cluster of oak
leaves, and at the end OF the other sharp hook,
making a miniature gaff. He takes his ''bushed"
stick and puts it down in from eight inches to a
foot and half of water, and begins to oscillate
it patiently. and the frost fish come to it. They
swim slowly beneath it, rubbing against the
leaves, when the Zig is deftly lowered, and
they are ierked out with a suddenness that must
astonish the fish. The fish do not seem to get
frightened. but continue to swarm beneath the
leaves and be hooked up as long as the jigger
has patience TO pull them.

tive of the Houre of Representatives has, in all
these treaties, been abundantly secured by a
provision that they should not take effect until
a bill originating in the House had provided
funds for their execution. The presidents
are against the position that negotiations Of this
class are unconstitutional. From the foundation
of the government, beginning with the tune
when the administration was in the hands Of
men who framed the Constitution itself, and
who may, therefore, be assumed to have best
understood its import and scope, public
treaties affecting the revenues have been con-
cuded by the President and carried into effect
by legislation of Congress without the admission
of a doubt as to the entire constitutionaity Of
the proceeding. A few examples. among many,
may be cited: First in order comes the treaty
of 1874 with Great Britain, which stipulated for
commercial privileges and exemptions from
duty, and set limitations upon the imposition of
tonnage duties on British vessels by Congress;
the treaty of 1903 with France for the acquisition
of Louisiana stipulated for special favors to
French and Spanish goods and vessels In the
coded territory during term of twelve years,
Notwithstanding any general regulations as to
trade and navigation which Congress might
make. The treaty of 1915 with Great Britain
changed existing legislation as to discriminating
duties the treaty of 1881 with France contains
special tariff provisions; the Canadian recproc-
ity treaty with Great Britain in 1854 and the
reciprocity treaty of 1875 with the Hawaiian
Islands, both contained a provision that
they should not become operative until the
HSCVcSdIy laws ~ SdrIy tl4Sil i4tO ASNe
have been enacted by Congress. In respect to
all these treaties the required legislation was
passed. In short the precedents are in favor OF
the constitutional negotiation of treaties affecting
the revenues by the President, subject to ap-
proval by the Senate and to legislative co opera
ton of Congress in carrying out the provisions:
The only object which the executive has had
in view in the negotiations of the conventions
now awaiting the action of Congress has been
the best interest of the Republic, and in endeav-
ing to realize this intmations of the purposes and
desires of Congress have served a guide. AS
the action of the executive so taken, is in every
case to be subject to the decision of the Senate
and the representatives of the people,
1 do not doubt that the result aimed at will be
reached. If the Spanish treaty does not meet
the approval of the legislative branch of the
government. the representatives of the popular
will cannot fail trust to perceive that the Pres
dent has made an earnest effort to remove from
the field of dispute subject of contention as far
as Cuba is concerned, and to secure lasting and
increasing benefit to our agricultural, manufact-
uring and commercial interests and the full
protection to the persons and property of our
citizens abroad.

What Auditor Rice Saws,

James H. Rice, Auditor of State returned
yesterday from LaPorte, where he went to look
into the affairs of the LaPorte Savings Bank
which has passed into the hands of a receiver
"The condition of the banks fnances" Mr. Rice
stated to Journal reporter, lis good, and the
depositors will, think, receive their money in
full lis investments, so far as known, are all
good, and there will be no losses In the fourteen
years that the bank has been doing business the
bad paper that has fallen into its hands has
amounted to only 81, 800, and some money has
been realized from it. The business was care
fully and economically managed. Vining, the
cashier, aided by his daughter, did all the work
for 81, 500 per year. The closing of the bank
was precipitated by discoveries growing out of
trouble between the trustees and cashier, which
were called to the attention of the State Auditor
by the latter, who about to be removed from
his position, All Of the trustees, with the ex
ception of one, had doubtless unintentionally,
violates the law by borrowing money
from the bank in small sums, which, under the
operation of the statutes, deprived them from
legally holding their positions as trustees. Vim
ing hoped to secure his retention as cashier by
having the vacancies filed by men who were his
friends.
"'rhe condition in which I found affairs
Auditor Rice says, was very perplexing to me.
called on the circuit judge and requested him
to appoint trustees to fill the places of those
who had violated the law. He consented to do
so, but said it would probably require four
or five days time to find acceptable men
who would be willing to take the trusts
feared that if the doors of the bank were
closed it would precipitate a panic. and yet
if 1 allowed the illegal trustees to continue the
management of the banks affairs 1 would be
making myself liable for a transgression of my
lawful duties The only thing left for me to do
was to Apply for the immediate ola appointment Of
pointed, is a wealthy citizen of LaPorte in
whom everybody there has the most implicit
confidence. He accepted the trust only because
it was urged upon him as a necessity. He is re
garded in LaPorte about like w. c. DePauw or
VIM H. English is here. He gave a bond, within
twenty minutes, for $39O,O0O while the assets
are only about one-half that amount"
