con SEQUENCES OF KILLING BIRDS
Distress Results to Fields and Crops.
LChicago Tribune Interview

lCnlcagO tribune interview.
"Steps are being taken to pass laws in
every state of the Union to make it a
criminal offense to Kill birds for any pur-
pose, except strictly game birds used for
food and such birds as are needed for
scientific purposes"
"HOW can you make crime out of q
matter of sentiments
"Thls is something more than a matter
of sentiment, something much more.
The loss of the birds which are almost
insectivorOus has already caused a quite
appreciable loss on the farmers crops
and we are destined to see a plague of in
sect life so great as to entail important
commercial consequences to the country
at large Nothing but birds can regulate
the increase of insects and keep it within
bounds, and to destroy the birds as we
have done is a crime of the highest order
against society," and will cause loss and
waste incalculable."
Fact, SIR France once, in paroXysm
Of folly, allowed the destruction of Il pro-
portion of hers. The result in disaster
10 fields and crops and in positive famine
and distress was so apparently the result
of this folly that now France and Ger
many protect the birds with jealous care.
For every wing on a woman's hat to-day
some one will suffer loss, some one will 90
hungry and lose some i-v out of life. II
It would be crime TO Oy the grass of
the fields and hills, because grass Is nee
essary for the support of life, so it is a
crime 10 destroy that which nature has
provided rs the sole protector Of that and
its kindred grain, the birds Nothing can
make 1t less than crime; n crime against
the order of the world, against human so
ciety and welfare"

PORTLAND, Ore, May 1.-THE United
States fish commissioners ca , in charge
of J. Frank Davis, arrived here yesterday.
1t started with 100000 shad, of which
about 500, 600 died en- route. About 500,-
600 were placed iii the Columbia river az
Wallula Junction, and the remainder viii
be placed in the willamette river at Al
bany. This experiment OF transp porting
young shad to Il great distance, however,
is of trifling consideration compared with
the attempt to hatch shad in the car
while en- route, which was IA complete sue
cess. On the 9th, 100000 eggs were taken
into the car at Havre de Grace, and placed
in four Macdonald jars. A pump was
kept constantly at work moving the wa
ter to keep it fresh, and the result was
that fully % pr cent of the eggs were
hatched Fresh water was obtained at
every available point. OF the five per
cent lost, most of them were due to prem
ature Matching. All the shad hatched o.
the way will he planted in the Willamette
river at Albany. The experiment which
is just ended solves the problem of trans
porting young shad 5000 miles.

force of the strike having fallen upon
them, and while it is said a great major
ity are anxious to return to work. they are
prevented By minority of violent agita-
tors The effect of the prolongation of the
strike is shown in a significant way. Large
building operations, involving an eXpendi-
Eure of fully sl0OOO,OOO were stopped just
prior to The beginning of the eght-hOuI
movement. Eight or nine large building
enterprises, however, were already under
way. The construction of the Central
building on the site of the Old city hall, ia
cost 81 100000, which had reached the sec
ond story, il to cease until the present trou-
bles are ellectually settled. The ar
chitects have decided to let no more con
tracts until the strikes have been ended.
On a number of the large structures
which were begun before the eight-houl
movement was under Roadway there Is
little work being done, and on several,
work has entirely ceased. The building
season of 1856 is now practically dead and
by many contractors is considered at /;
close, and employees are threatened with
