Pacific Coast Salmon In New York.
New YORK, November 23d.-Fish Com
missioner Blackard was found by your
correspondent this morning unpacking q
box OF steel-head salmon, which had Just
arrived from Oregon. The fish were
plump hard and looked as fresh as if lust
taken from the water. We are receiving
a box of steel-heads from Oregon daily,
each box containing 175 pounds of fish.
and we must say they arrive in splendid
condition, probably because the ice is re-
newed four times en- route. They sell for
twenty cents per pound and cost us Just
seventeen cents per pound, landed here
Frozen Canada salmon sell ut the same
price, but ttae Oregon fish are the favor
ties
What are the prospects for Pacific
Coast salmon next season ?' asked your
reporter.
There is no prospect of any extensive
business in Columbia river salmon at pres
ent freight rates. When they can be landed
here at cost not exceeding ten cents per
pound, we can sell them readily enough.
The past season the amount of salmon re-
ceiyed from Oregon was 20 per cent. less
than the year before. You must remember
that the Chinook salmon season is identi-

come III active competition and, naturally,
the cheaper fish has the readiest sale. The
experience Of the first year in sending
salmon East by the carload deferred any
further ventures in that line. When sent
by express we are tolerablv sure of finding
them in salable condition"
A Horrible Crime.
Fort SMITH Ark, November 23d.-A
horrible crime was committed near Santos.
Choctaw Nation Saturday night. An old
and bitter feud has long existed between
Sandy Walker and Sam Fulsom, both
prominent Choctaws and desperate and
dangerous men. They have both sought
an opportunity to kill each other, and q
short time ago, While Walker was at home
playing on lounge with his little child. a
would-be assassin supposed to be Lucas.
fred on him through the window,
but succeeded only in infiicting a
flesh wound. With the intention of killing
Fulsom, Walker went to the house OF
Lewis Lucas, where Fulsom stopped Satur-
day night, and creeping up to the bed
where he was supposed to be sleeping.
opened fire upon the PROSTATE form in the
bed, thinking it was Fulsom. He fired
several shots in rapid succession. two of
which took effect in the body of the
sleeper, who was Lucas wife, and one shot
seriously wounded a Swear old child sleep
ing by its mother. After this Walker
escaped, and as he is feared throughout
the Nation, it will be hard to capture him.
for he will never surrender.
Winners on the Turf.
New YORK, November 23d.-The Herald
says In estimating the revenue of horse
owners on the turf, it is rather hard to get
down to the precise figures, by reason of
the payments, forfeits and half-forfeits and
entrance fees, the selling of horses out of
stable, dissolution of partnerships, etc A
fair approximate estimate is the best that
can be expected. The Titrf, Field and Ft11n
places the Santa Anita stable of F. j.
Baldwin after Dryers, with about $1,000
over Moreys & Patton, and the figures in
GOodWin's make a similar showing. The
Santa Anita stable is credited with the win
nlng OF S0I,ol3. MOreyS ~ ration, whose
partnership was dissolved in the fall, come
next, with over $4,000, and then comes
Milton Young's stable, with over $4,000.
Chinese and United States Civil Service.
NEW York, November 23d-A SUMS
leader compares the civil service rules with
Chinese civil service methods, in which the
degree of advanced scholar, which is the
pathway to the highest offices OF the State
is competed for at a great examination held
every three years at the capital in vast
walled cells arranged in rows, and intended
for the occupation of candidates while un-
dergoing the severe tests to which they are
subjected, at an enormous waste of mental
power The competitive system is main
tanned by similar methods throughout the
United States The Sun asks: Is China so
much better governed than other countries
thai they should follow her example in this
respect? Are the results satisfactory? Yet
the Chinese carry oft fully and logically
the principles of our competitive examina
ton system. 1t seems TO MS a great deal
more msortant to keep the Chinese civil
service system out of the United States than
to exclude Chinese cheap labor.
