The Treatment of Their Industry by
the Government.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Nor. 13.-Congress-
man Cogswell recently sent communication
to the Master Mariners Association. saying
that as he was called to represent their dis
trict in the 51st Congress under Republican
administration, and being desirous of put
ting himself in full accord and understand
ing with them, that he might serve their in
terests in all honorable ways, he submitted
brief outlines of his views on the fishery
question:
First, To every American fishing vessel
and her crew there should be secured by our
government all the commercial pri, ileges, So
called, which are now, or may be hereafter,
accorded to every other American vessel and
her crew.
Second, Our fishing industry should be
protected by tariff legislation to every reason
able extent 1t should be as highly protect
ed. II not more so, as any other American in
dustry 1t being pursuit of great hazard
and OF small remuneration at BEST 1t will al
ways need the fostering care and protection
of our government.
Third, Because the American fisheries are
the only nursery and training school for the
American naval seamen in case of war, they
should be encouraged, either by direct
bounty OF some kind or by an enrolment
with compensation, as the American militia
OF the sea, and further, for the purpose of
gathering statistics and acquiring all possi-
Bile Information in regard to the pursuit of
nshlng, liberal appropriations should be
made by Congress- for the United States
Fish Commission.
Upon receipt of the foregoing, the associa-
tion adopted resolutions that the association
fully concurs with. and heartily endorses the
sentiments expressed.

NEW BEDFORD.
Something About the Old Whaling
City.

To the Editor of the Press:
In the lovely September morning in
November, looking about the city, in many
respect much like our own dear Portland,
having about the same population and situ-
ated by the sea, perhaps few notes may be
Of interest to some of the readers of the
PRESS.
The city is kept very cleanly with good
streets and sidewalks, plenty of shade trees,
fine residences with very large and expensive
lawns, trees, vines and flowers; houses
mostly wood, and much like those upon our
own State street. old style square mansions.
There is large wealth here mostly accumu-
lated by the whaling interests in former
days. This business is now much smaller
comparatively, and less remunerative than
previously. The harbor is fine one and
the Acashnet river flows in front of the city
and connects with tide water which ebbs and
flows about seven feet; not quite as much as
in Portland l think. The river and habor Is
crossed by a substantial draw bridge, filed
in solid at both ends, and track laid upon
it for horse cars, which run to Fairhaven, a
very pleasant place for residence.
The United States revenue schoolship
Chase is stationed here, and officered by
Captain d. b. Hodgsdon. Lieutena nts J. M.
Simons, j. c. Cantwell and j. A. Little.
The first three officers are well known in
Portland, each having been on that station
in the same service. Lieut. SimOns married
his wife in Portland.
The Chase is very fine vessel Of her class,
and has recently returned from Europe from
months ha MOI s,f
Lisbon in Portugal, Finchal, Madeira, and
Habor Royal. There are at present few
cadets on board. The bark will now remain
In port for the winter, and the cadets are
pursuing their studies and practice for sew
eral hours daily under the Instruction of the
ofncers. These young men come from good
families, wide awake and smart, and are
considered fortunate to get their appoint
ment; they bid fair to be a credit to them
selves and the government under whom they
The free public library Is one of the good

THE INSANE HOSPITAL.
A Possible Cause of the Recent
Diphtheria Epidemic.
Especial to tile Press.l

AUGUSTA, Nov. 13.-It has been asserted
by several parties that the diphtheria con-
tagion which fastened so tenaciously upon
the Insane Hospital was able to maintain
itself by reasons of unsanitary conditions
which arose from defective way in dis
posing of the sewerage. The waste of the
institution is disposed of through three
sewers, the outlets of which were on the
river side just beyond the lawn and the
laundry. From there the sewerage water
flowed down the hillside ou the surface of
the ground, distance Of quarter of a
mile. 1t was said that the noxious gasses
arising from this source drifted upon the
buildings and was breathed by the inmates,
etc. However, this may be when the matter
was brought to Superintendent Sanborn's
attention he laughed at it, and pronounced
such a result as impossible, and in support
Of this statement noted the fact that the
disease had been entirely in the new build
ings'which were most distant from the sewer
outlets The contagion was brought to the
hospital and maintained there through its
own vitality. But it may be noticed that
the sewers are now being covered In, the
work having been commenced early iu the
season. One has been covered four hundred
feet from its outlet and another two hundred
feet, and operations have just been COM
menced on the third.

PADLocKED THE CONSULATE.
High Handed Proceedings by the
Peruvian Government.

New YORK, Nov. 13.-Advices from Pam
anna state that serious international
trouble is on between Peru and the govern
ment Of the United States. The circum-
stances are these: On the assumption that a
house at Mollendo belonged to the Atrequipa
Railway, and was therefore the property of
the State orders were given to occupy it by
force, although the building was declared to
belong to citizens of the United States. 1t
was accordingly seized by squad of SOL
diers. The United States consulate was sit
uated in the building, and this was forcibly
closed and padlocked, the eoat-of-arms re-
moved and the agent prevented from enter
ing his office for nearly week. The Ameri-
can minister at Lima. who protested against
the seizure of the house, on receipt of the in
telligence of this aggression, cabled it to his
government, and was instantly instructed to
demand an apology. The house was vacated
after six days occupation, but the govern
ment peremptorily refused to make an apol-
ogy, and rather upheld the proceedings. On
this the minister telegraphed the intelligence
of the refusal, ,and the Department of State at
Washington has ordered him TO forward full
particulars of the affair before taking further
steps. Unless Peru can show some more
plausible reason than mistaken assumption
for violating the consular privilege, and that,

the minister, it Is difficult to see huw the

THE FRIENDS MISSION.
Work of the Society In the Holy
Land.
Especial to the Press.l

AUGUSTA, Nov. 13.-For several years past
the New England Society of Friends in con-
nection with the English branch of this de-
nomination, has been operating mission at
Brumana, Mount Lebanon, Palestine. A new
meeting house, capable of holding three
hundred people, has beenierected at cost of
$1,000; there Is a boys mission home, with
thirty boarders and seven day scholars; a
girls training home, with twenty inmates,
and three girls schools and five boys schools
In the villages near the mission station, In
which about 800 children from six to four
teen years of age are receiving an education.
There is also a medical dispensarv at the
Brumana mission. The English Friends
have mission at place called Ramallah,
ten miles north of Jerusalem, where the first
mission work in the care of the Friends was
started in Bible lands by Eli and Sybil Jones
of China, Maine. This Is now fiourishing
medical mission, with four day schools un
der the care of a German physician and his
wife, an English lady. Recently the New
England Yearly Meeting decided that they
should have field more definitely their own,
and an agreement was entered into with the
English Friends, that they would relinquish
their claim on the mission at Brumana, and
take in exchange from the English people
their Ramalah station. AS the transfer of
property is attended with considerable diff
fdulty under the Ottoman laws, Rev. Chas.
M. Jones of Winthrop, and Timothy b.
Hussey and wife of North Berwick, depart
for Palestine In about month as represen-
tatves of the New England Yearly Meeting,

A Bet Which Proved a slessIng.


OF the many election bets which have come
to the knowledge OF your correspondent, the
following, as far as the deposition Of the
funds gained are concerned. seems to partake
OF the human side. Mr.. Samuel A. Miller, a
Republican employed in the foundry depart
ment Of the Lewiston Machine Company,
accepted a wager from John j. Kennedy, a
Democrat employed under the same roof.
According to the result. Mr.. Miller came of
the winner, and the question arose In his
mind what shall do with the proceeds?
tie had hitherto decided that he would not
use the money Of his opponent for selfish
purposes. He finally thought Of the man,
Mr. George James, who was so badly burned
about the eyes while at work In the foundry
a few weeks since. and he seat the ten dol
lars to him for his personal use. IL Is feared
that MIR. James win lose one II not both OF
his eyes as result Of the burning. and 1t Is
needless for me TO state that the amount was
gratefully received BY the sufferer.
