The Fisheries Dispute.

A Washington special of Jan. 3Oth
says: The impression prevails to-
night that the Fisheries Commission
has, after all, reached some agree
ment satisfactory to the American
negotiators What that agreement is
it is impossible to ascertain, though
it may include the surrender of one
or two minor points by Bayard. This
statement IS based upon a remark
made by Secretary Bayard to Repre-
sentative Dingley of Maine. 1t had
been the intention of Dingley to re-
port favorably from the Committee
on Ways and Means to day bill
prohibiting the fishing by foreign
vessels in American waters. The bill
is primarily intended to deprive Ca
madam fishermen of the privileges
now enjoyed by them. Dingley
preached the subject to Bayard and
the latter asked him in the most
urgent manner to delay the report of
the bill to the House, as it might
seriously endanger the success of
pending negotiations which were
about coming to a close.

Rough Times in Cuba.

A Key West special to the New
York Sun Of Jan. 25th describes
disturbed state of affairs in Cuba as
follows:
During the last ten days Havana
has been in a perfect turmoil and on
the verge of mob violence. The
trouble was caused by the unscrupu-
lous acts of Captain General NORM
and his officials. The Government
tax is short S250,000. The local
Board of Aldermen has gobbled
$4,000, and the Cardenas Tax
Office of Trust is honey -combed
with fraud Two weeks ago the in
dignant citizens made vain appeals to
Norm for protection. A mass meet
ing was held, but NORM placed
armed guards about the gathering
and prevented the speakers from adj
dressing the people. III Progress,
mercantile paper. denounced Morin's
act, and to-day the paper was sup
pressed by order of the despot.
When Norm learned that the
merchants were sending cablegrams
of protest to the home Govern
ment he placed an armed guard
about the cable Office. Then La Lueld,
another newspaper, censured Norm
in caustic language. and the despot
now threatens to suppress this sheet.
On Sunday there were twelve muir
ders, one suicide, eight highway rob
berries and four stabbing ARRAYS IN
Havana and Cardenas. Senior An
tonic Luis, a prominent planter of
Guines, has been kidnapped, and is
now held for ransom at some I'm
known place The situation is be-
coming more alarming every moment.

Library Matters.

The books transferred by the Gov
eminent to the Library Association,
in accordance with the arrangements
heretofore published in the GAZETTE,
comprise about fifteen hundred vol
umes, many of them of great interest
and value. 1t will be Impossible to
catalogue and arrange them for the
use of the readers until additional shelf
room can be provided. This matter is
in the hands of committee of which
DR.. Rodgers is chairman, and will be
attended to as soon as practicable. The
receipt of the Fernandez library, the
presentation of which by Hon. C. r.
Bishop has been already noted, has
thrown an unexpected amount of work
upon the committee, and has Of neees-
sity delayed somewhat the work upon
the books received from the Govern
ment.

Sweets for the Sweet

Two double-column advertisements,
occupying combined area equal to a
whole column, are utilized to set forth
the productions of the Pioneer Steam
Bakery and Candy and Ieeeream Fac
tory. Mr.. Horn has been more than
half a century in the business as a
whole, having served rigid appren-
ticeship to its various branches in
Germany. after experience in diff
ferent lands he dropped down in Ho-
nOlulu over quarter of a century AGO,
and praise of his work would be super.
iuous for the older residents. As
decorator Mr.. Horn has vet to acEnowI-
edge his peer on this side of the globe.
He has now on exhibition in his store
window variety of flowers for we'd
ding cake, which, although very
much like the flowers of the field
copied, were turned out by him off
handedly in a remarkably short time.
Inside the store may be seen innuIner-
able kinds of confectionery, of fantas-
tic shapes and variegated tints, all of
the proprietor's manufacture.

The Australian Exhibition.

The Australian Colonies are max
ing strenuous and most creditable
exertions to have the products and
industries Of the world well repre-
scented at the exhibition which is to
open at Melbourne on the LIST of Aug
ust next The colonists, being per
capita a wealthy people, are large
purchasers. They are England's best
customers next to India Their trade
is doubly profitable, because they
supply cheap raw material, whilst
they take in return manufactured
articles. During recent years their
trade has been bid for by more ma
tons than one. Germany in partic-
ular has made bold effort to grasp
a fair share of it. A subsidized line
of German steamers is cutting into
the business. France having inter
ests in New Caledonia, Tahiti
and other points in the South
Pacific, Is preparing to WOO
Australian commerce, and that
is believed to be the true
secret of her recent corplacent set
Element Of the New Hebrides diff
Guilty. The United States have a
trade that might easily be made much
larger than it is, with the Colonies.
1t is a very profitable trade, in the
ordinary commercial acceptation of
the term. 1t is about the only trade
we do which leaves large balance in
our favor. Each steamer, for several
months past, has brought us over half
a million dollars in gold. This. for
the most part, is III settlement of their
Indebtedness on the account current
between the two countries. So far
the trade wooing has been altogether
on their side. The very steamers
American built and sailed though
they are-which bring us this
gold, and carry our letters and
commerce through the isles of
the Pacific to the great Aus
tralian continent, are subsidized and
supported by them and not by us.
With an origin, language, and insti-
buttons common with our own, our
intercourse with them might well be
cultivated with more knowledge and
friendliness than it is. The coming
exhibition may well be made to serve
as the occasion for better under
standing. President Cleveland. in a
special message, has recommended an
appropriation of $4,000 for the pur-
pose of having the United States ade-
quately represented at the Melbourne
exhibition. 1t ought to be voted
with all possible good feeling. S. I

THE SUGAR TRUST.

There seems to be little doubt
that the formation of the so-callcd
sugar trust will be completed. The
objections that have been raised by
those who are interested in the
work of this association have one by
one neutralized or set aside, so that
now we are given TO understand
there is little beyond the settlement
of few unimportant details to pre-
vent the different great refineries of
this country from carrying on their
work under single board of direc-
ton. So long as the sugar trust is
buttressed about by the high duty
that is now imposed upon sugar, it
is in a position to bid defiance to
foreign competition. Atleast there
is a sufficient margin between the
average duty on raw and the average
duty on refined sugar to permit the
refners, unvexed by American COM
petition, to make very large profits
before raising the price of their re-
fined sugar to point that would
permit of foreign competition.
This fact may be appreciated
when it is said that well informed
authorities assert that a profit of
one-half cent per pound on refined
sugar would in a year enable the
American reiiners to pay a dividend
of $12, 900, 900, or more than 80 per
cent. on the capital they have invest
ed in their business. But a change
of price of half cent or even a cent
per pound would attract but slight
attention from the consumers of
sugar, who number every man,
woman and child throughout the
land. AT the present time the busi-
ness is carried on upon very fine
margin, the profits being limited to
small fraction of cent per pound
upon the refined sugar. That the
managers of the trust will endeavor
TO increase their net receipts by
other means than economies in pro-
duction goes without the saying, fol

by raising q race prejudice. This
has signally failed, for in the dis
tricts where the Hawaiians are in a
large majority, they have voted
almost unanimously in favor of the
reform government. 1t Is to be
hoped that the Hawaiian Govern
ment has passed through the dark
hours before the dawn, and that
brighter days are drawing near.
Mr.. Gibson's former secretary,
Mr.. Webb, has been convicted of en-
bezzlement while in office under Mr..
Gibson, and sentenced to one years
Imprisonment at hard labor. 1t
would seem that it ought to have
been Mr.. Gibson instead of Mr..
Webb. 1t is hard for an elderly
person like Mr.. Webb to I've placed
in his present unfortunate position,
hut it appears to be right and just.
The suit of the widow st. Clair
against Mr.. Gibson for breach of
promise, is still before our courts.
Mr.. Gibson, however, is at safe
distance in San Francisco. X.

A WILD CAT,

'Come aboard the bark Lillian,
Mr.. Reporter said Captain Dun
can to scribe this morning, "and
see the wild cat there"
"Lead on Duncan" cried the
scribe, Struggling his shoulders and
assuming the walk of Buffalo Bill;
''lead on, and we'll lay the smoking
heart of the feline before the altar
of Nimrod.' q
Having boarded the vessel, Dun
can and the scribe went down into
the cabin and closed the entrance.
The cat was locked in one of the
staterooms and was hidden inside of
locker. Failing to see the prize
through the partly opened door of
the state-room, Captain Duncan
opened it wide and proceeded to
make racket with broom. The
scribe, pale with fear, grabbed q
bundle of joss sticks for self de-
fense, and crouched himself in a
corner of the cabin. All of a sud-
den out came the cat, making a
leap of several feet and landing on
the cabin table. The cat, about
the size of an ordinary dog, that is,
much larger than the common do
mestic cat, was of dark gray
color. 1t had large paws with long
nails. Its eyes had fierce express
sion, in fact, the whole cat was as
wild as wild could be. When the
feline bounded on the table, the
scribe began to say the alphabet,
but before he had uttered the first
letter, the cat had made leap for
the stairway leading on deck, then
down again, and with 12-foot
| jump went through the open sky
light and was gone.

HUMaNlzINC WARFARE.

"The common form of offensive
and defensive weapon at present."
said Edward Weston, the prominent
electrician recently, ''is something
that will throw solid or an cXplo-
sive metal proiectile-a solid shot, a
shell or torpedo. Explosive bull
lets for small arms are tabooed un-
der the laws of war because they do
unnecessary damage; that is, they
kill after striking, when the wounds
they first cause would be sufficient.
1t follows that if you could over
power your enemy without either
killing or wounding him, that plan
would be preferable to any now
existing. That is what I believe
can be done. 1t is well known that
nitrate of amyl possesses the power
of causing insensibility very quickly
in human being breathing its
fumes. The effect is equivalent
temporarily to a paralytic stroke.
Now nitrate of amyl is very cheap
and plentiful. l propose to fire
shells filled with this chemical in
stead of gunpowder. 1t will not be
necessary to penetrate a ship. A
few gallons of this nitrate dashed on
the deck of warsbip would soon
render her crew helpless. The most
powerful ironclads would be even
more vulnerable than the light
cruisers, for they would be sucking
down great draughts of air through
their artificial ventilators, and the
odor would thus rapidly permeate
the whole ship. The whole crew
being rendered helpless for an hour
or two, the ship could, of course be
towed into a safe spot, while. the
captors ventilated her and removed
the insensible men. - IN. Y. Sun.

MODERN WAR.ShlPS.

Washington, Nov. 2-The atten-
tion of Irving Scott of the San
Francisco Union Iron Works was to-
day called to the Associated Press
dispatch sent out last night, which
intimated that it was next to i'm
possible to obtain on modern war
ships speed of nineteen knots an
hour, and that it seemed unlikely
that the so-called 19-knot cruisers
now building would ever attain that
speed. After reading over the des-
patch, Mr.. Scott said that it was
doubtless true, as it stated, that
there were only two or three naval
vessels in existence that could steam
nineteen knots an hour. That fact,
however, did not argue the inability
of American ship-builders to con-
struct n vessel capable of making
that record. The English vessels
alluded to that had q speed of nine
teen knots were the outcome of
years of costly experiments, many
failures and much earnest thought,
and finally the result had been
reached. Our builders were not in
the initial stage, but were in posi-
tion to profit by everything that
others had learned, and he continu-
ed: "The plans upon which the
cruisers are now being built will, ]
know, give us speed of nineteen
knots an hour. You remember that
Secretary Whitney sent to England
for the best plans, so that the Navy
Department has in its possession
the very latest knowledge that the
most eminent naval architects have
acquired, and there is no reason
why we cannot do as well as others.
''Look at the telephone, for in
stance. The perfected instrument
of to-day has been brought to its
present finished stage after years of
experiment, yet at first it was merely
an indication of what might follow.
How long ago was it that twelve
knots an hour was considered the
triumph of ship building? About 5
years. Since then we have added
knot by knot, until to-day we can
count upon nineteen with almost an
absolute certainty. A few years
ago it took twelve days to make the
transatlantic passage. To-day the
Umbria and other crack lines do il
in six. The Atlanta and Boston,
continued Mr.. Scott, "have attained
speed of fifteen and one-half knots
an hour with an indicated horse,
power of $500. The Charleston
and Cruiser No. will have a horse
power of 1000, and a cruiser No. ;
10000. So you see that in requir
ing these vessels to make better
speed the same conditions have no
been exacted." Mr.. Scott, in con-
clusion, said that work on thu
Charleston was going on very salts
factorily and that the department
was we'll pleased with the progress
made so far. He felt confident tha
the Charleston would satisfy th'
contract requirement. = S. F

CRUISKEEN LAWN.

When Mars the God of War on high
OF battles first did think
He girt his sword upon his thigh
And-miXed n arOP of drink.
King David was mighty man
at course he drank no water
He always had cocktail first
And took his dinner after.
Jack and Gill went up the hill
They say to get some water
They knew enough to drink "such stuff
And that zvaSnf what they were after.
Old Mother Hubbard went to the cup
board
But mt to get n bone
She went to try-if the jug was dry
For she came from the te7pa Of Afhlo1e.
(She was half sister to the Widow
Malone, and excepting her "dawg' lived
alone.)
Boucicault Is ''fine' man
And wrote the Colleen Bawn
But May all did show their wisdom
When they drank the CrWiSkeea Lam
antiquity efthe Hhiskey Demonstrated,
When Noah sailed off in his ark
With his sisters--his aunts and his
cousins,
He loaded her down to P2imsoNs marx
With CrniSkeen by the dozens.
MORAL.
This do declare
Happy is the laddy,
Who II jug can share
of this famous ''toddy.'
