THE FISHERY QUESTION:.
A Denial About Capt. QuisIey and the
Cruiser Terror.

HALIFAX. Aug. 24-Captain Scott, admir-
al of the Canadian fishery protection fleet,
will command the new steam cruiser Acadia.
She is being fitted out and crew is being
collected She carries one brass gun, proba-
bly, nine FOUNDER. She VIII sail MONDAY
next from Halifax.
The statement of the American officers of
the North Atlantic squadron, who have oeen
visiting the fishing grounds. contained IN
Portland despatch, to the effect that the Do
minion government had taken Capt. Quigley
of the Terror in hand for being too severe
on American fishermen, has no foundation.
1t is true that the government was inyestl-
eating this matter. Captain Scott spent al
one day at that very work but found that
Captain Quigley did no. exceed his duty IN
any particular and that none but general in
structiOns had been given him and no new
orders had been issued to him.
The despatch goes on to say that Amerl-
can fishermen have been allowed to do about
as they liked. They go into Canadian ports
and trade without even reporting at the Gus
tom houses and violate the laws in many
other ways. The enforcement Of the customs
regulations have been very lax, and this
state of affairs has been going on so long
that Americans have come to look upon
these privileges as vested rights and to lmag-
inc that there are no laws OF Canada That
they are bound to respect. Not long ago
Capt. Scott was talking with man Whe nad
been customs officer for forty years and he
informed the captain that during the whole
period he never once boarded an American
fishing vessel. All this is to be stopped. The
minister of customs is determined and that
the laws shall be strictly enforced. He says:
GAS far as it is in my power | am going to
see that no customs or other 1nfrlngements
are permitted, and that the officers of all the
cruisers use their endeavors to prevent yio-

She was born in Derby, Conn, and at an
early age began her literary career. When

HOW IT COST $50 TO EXPEND $40 ON THE
AUGUSTA POST OFFICE.
Kennebec Journal
The charming lesson in Democratic econo-
my presented in the construction of the new
public building is one which is severely tax
ing the brains of Augusta citizens. 1t may
be bonanza for the gentlemen drawing sal
aries, but it is ruinous grind on the public
purse. Let us see; let the laboring man,
toiling with pick and shovel ten hours day
for $1.50, observe. Col Thomas Lambard,
superintendent has a salary of SO day; his
clerk, Mr.. Nevins, $4 day; Mr.. Nathaniel
| Noyes, master workman, $4 per day; Mr..
| Fred Plaisted, messenger, round salary.
| Mr.. NJ. S. Holway, disbursing agent, one
! eighth of one per cent. of all moneys dis
| bursed; Mr.. Aldrich, from the architects
office. large salary; Mr.. B. F. Morse, time
keeper, 1925 day. These gentlemen were
on pay about two months before any labor
| to speak of was done on the foundation. 1t
is estimated by good judges that the total
cost of the management will reach over $50 a
day. AT the present time there are twenty
three, working men doing the labor ON the
| foundation, receiving $1.50 per day and up
wards, or an estimated total of $40 day.
Thus it requires cost of management of
$50 per day, and seven able bodied men to
manage twenty three laboring men receiving
| $40. This is what may be called pinching
economy-pinching the peoples pocket-book.
Furthermore, to illustrate the partizanship
of the management it is well understood that

DISASTERS IN THE GULF.
Details of the Great Storm on the
Texan Coast.
The lndianola Custom House Forced
to Remove to Other Quarters.

GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. 24.-The recent
storm proved very destructive to small yes
sells off the Texas coast and it will doubtless
be months before the full list of casualties is
known. The sloop Katie j. went to pieces
off Pelican island. The crew was saved.
Lying near her, bottom up, is the sloop Elisa
The crew of two men are supposed to be
drowned. An unknown vessel is reported to
be bottom up at Red Fish bar. The schooner
Livonia Perkins is now lying bottom up in
the bay near Pelican island. Two of her
crew were lost.
The schooner Lottie Mayee is reported
ashore at Indianola All hands are supposed
to have been lost. The schooner Lake Austin
is near her, but the crew of the latter was
saved All the small craft in the bay, from
the shoal to Edwards point, are reported to
be lost The schooner S. w. Perry has
gone to pieces in the gulf and cargo of lum-
Der, valued at $4,000, is strewn along the
beach for miles. Her captain and cook were
drowned The remainder of the crew were
saved.
1t is roughly estimated that the damage
done to shipping in this vicinity during the
storm will approximate 100000. The viii
lage of Quinlana, at the mouth of the BraZos
river, was entirely swept away. and the
SchOOnerS Rosa Lee and Nettie were driven
ashore. No lives were lost, so far as is
known.
A special to the News from Victoria says :
Indianola is sa complete wreck, not more
than three or four houses having escaped de-
struction by the heavy storm which swept
over the town last Friday morning. DR..
Fisher, the quarantine officer, with his wife,
M. Malone, Capt. Adolph Sternbrook and a
negro woman named Martha Els had mar
row escape from drowning. The quarantine
station was washed away early Friday
morning. and they were forced to take
refuge IN large grove of Spanish cedars
that grew near the quarantine hospital
For nine hours they clung. to the frail sup
ports before they were relieved.
