senator Jones' weak Expl.nasion.

Senator Jones' Weak Explanation.
Mr.. James Mccarthy, of Jacksonville, Fla, ar
rived in Chicago Thursday from Detroit, Mich,
where he had been specially detailed by several
of Senator Jones' personal friends, as well as
the press of that section, to investigate the
reasons for the Senator's strange actions, and to
ascertain the cause for his prolonged absence
from his post OF duty In Washington. Mccarthy
positively discredits the reports about Senator
Jones drinking to excess and his mental un-
sOundness, which have been extensively pub
liShed. Mr.. Mccarthy says he found one reason
for Mr.. Jones remaining in Detroit, was because
he was largely interested in q new manufactur-
thompson, the ex-mayor; James Capflis ex-
prosecuting attorney; d. J. Campau, and Nc
MILAN Brothers, in wi ich several millions
largely discredits the reports about his deyo-
ton to the wealthy Miss Palms. He learned
that the health of that lady has been seriously
impaired by the publicity given her name
throughout the country In connection with
that Of Senator Jones' but she is still in Detroit
Mr.. Mccarthy quotes Senator Jones as giving
the following explanation of his prolonged stay
In Detroit: when came to Detroit in the first
place 1t was to seek regeneration and rest, and
tations, or, might add, personal inclinations
But the local press, subsequently augmented by
the papers OF my own state and others, have
taken 1t upon themselves to publish certain
stories relating to my personal welfare. don't
propose to be placed in a ridiculous position be-
fore my many friends in Detroit and elsewhere
by their declarations. have been giving my
personal attention to matters relating to my
tors have absented themselves for a greater
period of time, of which there has been scarcely
mention made, and don't see why should
be made such conspicuous exception. My
health has about returned, and / shall very
soon go back to Washington If the members of
the press are satisfied to give up their attack"

AN ABUSE THAT SHOULD BE STOPPED.
II only part of the statements which come
from the Little Falls in regard to the violation
of the fish laws at that point are correct, the
District and Maryland authorities cannot be
too prompt nor too earnest in their efforts to put
stop to the abuses practiced there. The COM
plant is that dip nets are constantly being used
for the capture of black bass, in the rapid
waters above the Chain bridge, both inside the
District and in Maryland. At this season the
bass are pushing their way up stream for the
purpose OF depositing their spawn, and ad-
vantage is taken by the poachers OF the we'll
known habit OF this fish to lie temporarily in
the small eddieS and below the rocks while
making their way up the falls, and in these
places the nets are placed with great success. A
lit is rarely made that does not bring up from
halIa pound 10 five pounds each. The nefariOus
business has been going on for several days past,
and indeed ever since the bass have commenced
running, and on Tuesday not less than two hum
those competent to speak on the subject. In
this way the lawful practice of angling in that
locality Is completely broken up, and at the
rate the spaWners are now being captured it
Will not take very long to destroy the whole
supply In the stream between the Little and
making arrests for these violations OF law with
in the District lines rests with the mounted
police; but as soon as one of the force comes In
sight the work of netting stops and the nets are
put out OF sight. The only way in which the
practice can be broken up is to send officers
there disguised as anglers or hunters, with au-
thOrity To make arrests, and this the authorities
should cause to be done. Not only are anglers
interested in the matter from sportsman s
point of view, but every citizen of the District
Is affected by the practice, since it tends to me-
terlally interfere with the future food supply of
the city.
