The diplomatic correspondence concerning
the fisheries has been laid before Congress.
Secretary Bayard proposes that Congress should
authorize commission to take proofs of losses
and injuries to American fishermen through
''unfriendly and unwarrantable treatment by
Canadian officials. This suggestion the Presi-
dent approves, adding that he may have occa-
sion to make further recommendations for such
remedial legislation as may become necessary
for protection of our citizens engaged in the
open sea fisheries" The position contended for
by Secretary Bayard is that American vessels
engaged in the deep sea fisheries should have
ordinary commercial rights and privileges in
Canadian ports and are entitled to damages if
deprived of them. The correspondence on
the other side is evasive and non-committal.

Missouri farmers must produce
more per acre per annum; they must
learn for example, how to calculate
the quantity of milk, fruit or beef
they can produce from an acre and
if the result is not a paying one they
must produce more. Many questions
are involved in the accomplishment
of this end, embracing the study,
drainage, manuring, tillage, rotation
of crops, classes and varieties of
agricultural plants, etc, and the
question arises, which one or more of
these means can most effectually and
economically attain the desired end:
No reliable opinion can be expressed
with reference to any of them with
out taking all the local conditions
and circumstances into consideration.

A SURE GUIDE.
Better Than a Trail Upon the Prairie

Two travellers were lost on a far
western prairie during Il driving

the trail was obscured by the swift
falling fakes and it seemed as if they
were destined to perish far away
from home and friends. But sud-
denly one of them turned his face 10

came in cutting blasts, and, bidding
his comrades follow, walked with
swiftness and confidence against the
storm. Miles onward they pressed,
the one who had first faced the storm
Leading always, with q step that was
strong and steady and an expression
that told of hope in his heart. Dark
less came down upon the treeless
plain and the storm increased in
fury. Directly a light twinkled IN
the distance, and, quickening their
pace, the travellers were soon re-
ceiving the hearty welcome of an old
settler and his wife. When his

New York Correspondence Philadelphia Press.
William M. Evarts has lived in this city years
and years. His residence is in particularly
fashionable remnant of old New York. he has for
a long term been president of the Union League,
and his family is second to none in social cul-
ture and position. There is no good reason why
he should look like ruralist; but he does, es-
peclally In his everyday clothes. His profile is
striklngly similar to that of Cesar the Great on
the Roman coins. but in every other respect he
closely resembles Daniel Pratt, the great Ameri-
can traveller. This was especially true of him
when, coming from Boston after the delivery of
his remarkable speech there the other day, he
emerged. bag in hand, from the Grand Central
station. The set back of his roughened silk hat,
the carelessness of his garments, the time-worn
umbrella and the grip of his satchel- all were in
the makeup of a figure whom Grand Central

awaiting trial for trying to rob victim. He had
succeeded Hungry Joe, retired to Sing Sing, as
chief of his kind of scoundrels, and he was such
brisk, slightly, captivating fellow that his sue
cess was considerable.
'But you fellows mustn't s'pose we catch
every fish that we throw our hook at, he said to
one of the prisonkeepers "'Taint one nibble in
fifty that comes to real bite. The papers then
pretty near knocked us out; and, besides, there

seemingly relevant to me why my individuality

The language which Pete remembered sug-
gested William M. Evarts instantly. and then
his description left no doubt that the ex-Secre-
tary of State was the man. On being questioned
on the subject, Mr.. Evarts recalled the incident
of having been addressed by stranger but. be-
ing then in a reverie. he did not realize that a
hunko thief was assailing him. ''In reading of
