There will be grave apprehenslons
in Germany as to the effect the death
Of Prince Frederick Charles may have
upon the aged Emperor William.
For some time his magnificent physi-
cal system has been giving way be-
fore extreme age, and the wholesome
and courageous spirit which has ami
mated him has been greatly affected.
His strong affections have always
made him suffer deeply from the
shock of losing members of his fami-
ily, and it was noticed that the re-
cent death of his kinsman, Prince
Karl Anton, the head of the Roman
Catholic branch of the Hohenzollerns,
moved him greatly. Until his time
the two branches had been estranged
and the reconciliation was effected
while William was yet prince regent,
and by his urgent efforts, since when
the kinsman had been constant and
faithful. The death of his nephew,
the Red Fprince, to whose splendid
generalship he has owed so much,
and who to the old emperor must
have seemed in the very prime of
life, cannot be other than very Sc
rious shock.

An immense number of fish has
been gent to France, Germany and
other European countries. The old
world, which first began the work of
fish culture hundred years ago, is
now being surpassed in results by
this commission, which has been in
existence scarcely fifteen years. AS
if to prove that there is nothing new
under the sun, it has been found that
the artificial rearing of fish was prac-
ticed by the Chinese ages ago. They
have considerable. literature on the
subject too, but intelligent investiga-
ton and practical result in this di-
rection were never so systematically
attained as under the direction of the
U. S. FISH commission.
That this country is better equip
ped for fish culture, and has more
knowledge of it than any other is
fully shown by the fact that at the
Berlin international fisheries exhibit
ton, in 1880, the highest prize, that
offered by the emperor of Germany,
was awarded to Prof. Baird as the
"first fish culturist in the world"
Then at the London fisheries exhibit
ton, in 1888, the United States re-
ceived more than one fifth of all the
awards given to foreign and colonial
government displays, and much
larger proportion of gold medals fell
to her lot than was received by any
other country. ! saw this fish exhi-
bit just as it appeared at the London
exhibition. Before sailing for Lon
don with his charge, Prof. Baird ar.
ranged, in one of the divisions of the
museum, complete display of the
Matching process, together with all
the improved appliances used to fa-
cilitate the work. 1t remained there
for several days and was examined
by several thousand people who re-
ceived invitations to see it.
The fish commission has three
ships in its service-the Fish Hawk,
the Albatross, and the Lookout. 1t
has three cars specially fitted up for
the transportation of fish. Besides
this central station, and the summer
headquarters at Woods Hall, Mass,
and it has dozen other stations in
different states, all of which are fur
nished with the most approved APP
planes for developing some species
| of fish.

A NEW PREMIER.

Reports from London June II say
the Queen has accepted the reslgna-
ton of the Gladstone Ministry and
has summoned the Earl of Salisbury
to form a new Cabinet. Mr.. Glad
stone announced to the House of
Commons Friday afternoon that he
had resigned flee, that the Queen
had accepted his resignation, and
that Her Majesty had informed him
that she had summoned the Marquis
of Salisbury, the leader of the opposi-
ton in the House of Lords, to Bal
moral for the purpose Of entrusting
him with the formation of new
Ministry.
Mr.. Gladstone said that under the
peculiar circumstances surrounding
the outgoing government, he would,
little later, propose that the House
of Commons adjourn until the 22nd
inst. The question had arisen wheth-
er it would be best for public conve-
nience and interest to 90 on with the
pending legislation concerning the re-
distribution of seats bill. The pres
ent government would only do so
with the consent of the House. He
did not believe that any difference of
principle in respect to this important
measure could now possibly arise be-
tween the parties, and he reminded
the House that the government and
tie opposition were both under 8
compact regarding the Redistribution
bill. 1t would, however, be crafty
ing 10 himself and his colleagues ii
the retiring Cabinet, If, before the,
ceased their public duties, they coult
regard the bill as sealed and deliver
ed. Sir Stafford Northcote, on be
half of the Conservatives, respondei
that his party desired TO proceed wit
the redistribution bill as rapidly a
possible. There was no reason VIII
the amendments made TO the bill b
the House of Lords should not q
once receive the assent of the Hous
of Commons. But the question Z
these amendments was in this pecr
: liar shape-the amendments were nc

THE WAR GOVERNORS OF
VERMONT.

We had three of them. Erastus
Fairbanks was the first one to meet
the great emergency of civil war and
met it with most praiseworthy
promptness and energy. He was the
first governor of all the loyal North
to call the Legislature of his state TO-
gether, to provide men and arms for
the protection of the government.
Under him first, the machinery for
the recruiting of troops and providing
of war material, was created and put
in operation. He organized and
equipped the first six Vermont regi-
ments, at time when war was new
business when the extent of the sud-
den demands for arms and munition
far exceeded the military resources
of the country and when doubts and
difficulties had to be met and over.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
ESPECIAL RREsPoNDENcI oFTHE MONITOR.
WASHINGTON, June 18th.

Washington, June 10Th.
Among the sights of the capital,
there is probably no exhibit of great
that is so little appreciat-
ed as one made at the national muse
UNI, by the United States fish COM
mission. Its headquarters are locat-
ed here, but the interest taken by the
public in this work is compar-
atively small, when one reflects what
has been accomplished in cheapening
and increasing the food supply of the
country by the labors of the commits
sion. Much has been learned through
scientific investigation, of the habits
and modes of life of the various spe-
cies of the finny tribe. 1t ls known
now what each species of fish likes
and what best agrees with it.
The establishment OF the govern
ment fish commission about fifteen
years ago was the result of a quarrel
between Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island relative to the fisheries of
Southern New England and the pro-
per function of legislatures in regu-
lating them. Congress appropriated
$500 for the prosecution of in
quires as to the diminution of food
fishes of the coasts and the lakes of
the q. S. and Professor Baird, then
of the Smithsonian Institutions, was
appointed fish commissioner. The
results of the first seasons inquiries
were so valuable that Congress in
creased the appropriation for the
next year, and continued to do SO
each year, until the total amount ex-
pended up to this time will reach
nearly million aud half of dollars
The work of propagation and DIS
tribution has grown very greatly
During the present year the commits
sion has developed and distributed
about $50, 900, 900 white fish, about
100000 salmon, as many as 81,
100000 shad; a large number o
brook trout and California trout, ant
has sent carp to over 200 applicant
embracing every state and territor,
in the Union, and nearly every con
gressional district. The most import
ant work of the year is the attemp
to stock Columbia river and the sys
tenn of streams emptying into Puge
sound, with shad. A car of tn
J commission is now en- route to Por,
land, Oregon, for this purpose, wit
100000 shad. They are also Ell
deayoring TO stock the tributarles c
the Gulf of California with the sam
fish, and 100000 young shad al
now on their way to the Colorado an
t Republican rivers.

No branch of the government has

No branch of the government has
been the subject of severer criticisms
than the naval department. Misrepre-
sentation has made it the object of
its most envenomed shafts. Every
abuse and crime of which corrupt adj
ministration is capable has been
charged against it. OF some of these
charges ex-Secretary Robson says !:
"The navy department never handled
a dollar of the funds appropriated by
congress. The treasury not only
handled the funds but kept the books.
The vouchers are all there for every
item of expenditure. The naval SER
vice is on record in all these matters.
These records will show every step
taken by congress, by the secretaries
of the navy, and by the naval offi-
GERS the reasons for such steps, and
every detail. There will be nothing
found except mares nests by the ex-
cited gentlemen who are now making
the air resound. "-Erchdnge.

The dairy interests of New York
state are again at the mercy of man
ufacturers of bogus butter and cheese
the court of appeals at Saratoga hav-
ing decided that the law of 1884,
which prohibits the manufacture or
sale of oleomargarine and lard-cheese
is unconstitutional. The ruling is
made in the case of one Morris
Marx, who was fined 500 last No
vember for selling oleomargarine, his
composition containing 1920 per
cent of water, 1851 of fat, OBJ of
curds and 4.68 of salt. This failnre
of the act passed by the New York
Legislature of last year is very unfor-
tunate. The magnitude of the imi-
tation-butter business is shown by
the fact that the consolidated capital
stock of one company In New York
city was SlO,OOO,O OO. This concern
failed the other day, its downfall be-
ing attributed to the law prohibiting
its product. The Legislatures of
Maine, Pennsylvania, Illinois and
Ohio have also attacked the oleomar-
garine interests in the last year and
in none of those states, with New
Jersey and Missouri, can any kline
of imltation-butter be sold legally
now. The Massachusetts statue is
less stringent, only requiring tina
oleomargarine, butterine, ETC., Offered
for sale shall be properly labelled
but the state milk inspector has sait
that, with few perfecting amend
ments. it would be sufficient to pro
tect the public.

Frank A. Robbins Circus.

Up to this time, circus managers seem
to have expended their money and ener-
ges in making all the outside show possi-
BILE, and it is pleasant to notice that new
departure has been made in this respect.
If a circus is to be judged by the free ex-
hibition on the street instead OF that por-
ton which is confined under the canvas
and Is to be paid for, Frank A. Robbins
circus ranks lower than some which have
shown in Toronto; but If the Performance
eS in the ring are to be taken as the stan
dard for criticism, and the pleasure given
to the audience, then 1t ranks high
amongst the circuses. In one respect 1t
excels, that is, the attention given to the
comfort of the audience, and the neat ap-
pearance and respectful bearing of those
employed in it. 1t is a new revelation in
the line of circuses. During the greater
portion of the enterta inments, Yesterday
afternoon and evening, the two rings and
central elevated stage were kept fully oc-
cupied with riders on horseback, acrobats,
iugglers, contortionists, slack rope dane
ers, hurdle racers, trained animals, and
last but not least, either in number or
prominence, frolicSOme fools. Worthy
of special notice were Mr.. G.. w. Fish,
! the champion bareback rider, who, al
| though suffering from the effects of a Sc
| we're fall, showed himself to be a highly
accomplished artist; Mile. Susie Comat,
who rode bicycle along rope SO high
that her head might have touched the
canvas; Signor Cook, who gave the al
ways looked for and ever popular riding
of the four horses; the trained elephant
who would persist in ringing the bell for
| something more to eat, besides severa
others equally worthy. There was also
an interesting collection of animals fol
the benefit Of the curious in natural histo
~. Entertainments will be given this
afternoon and evening. 1t may be of IN
| terest to many to state that Mr.. Robin:
some five years ago sold peanuts in j;
circus which exhibited in this city, ant
starting for himself, has now one of thu
most creditable exhibitions on the road
and from present appearances soon vii
stand second to nobody Hoacq Ere
Press.
This establishment will exhibit at Bar
ton July 3rd; and for the accommodated
of those living in the county, excursion
trains will be run on all railroads at re
duced fare.
