egram to THE BEE. THE Newfoundland
government is enforcing the bait act with a
good deal of rigor. One cruiser, Lady Clio
yer, has made eight seizures this season.
The masters of two vessels were sentenced
to pay "a fine of 81, 900 each or to undergo five
months imprisonment. The others were
imprisoned for from five months downward.
To show what the shipoWners and masters
of schooners are now put to, and the arttices
that have to be resorted to in order to get
bait, 1T is but necessary to describe the plan
adopted by one French vessel In her a false
bulkhead was built next to the cabin. Three
pieces OF decking were cut out and the space
was filled with herring. In order TO hide all
traces seines were carefully spread over the

BURKE AND THE BONDS.
Louisiana's Attorney General Accuses
the Treasurer.

NEW ORLEASs, La, Oct 9.-Attorney General
Rogers seems to have been nettled by q state
ment made by ex-Treasurer Burke in London
that the attorney generals acton was guided
by political anlmosity. He said yesterday:
Major E. A. Burke has committed q most
gr'evous outrage against q people who had
honored and trusted him. You may say for
me that Major Burke Is guilty. He has drawn
out of the state treasury and from q special
fund SAC, $50 without right and covered up ms
act by depositlng false vouchers. He has put
upon the market S503.O00 OF state bonds which
had been declared void and which had been in
trusted to him to be destroyed. He reported
they had been destroyed. He deliberately
made further issue OF $4,000 OF other secu-
rites and through others placed them in the
varions banks OF the city, and money has been
obtained upon them. His only duty was to
keep these securities and turn them over TO his
successor. This, / think, is enough, without
saving more"
The attorney generals view as to the liability
of the state is not shared by the commercial
community, and if ex-Treasurer Burke fails to
make good his promise TO protect holders
against loss, q strong effort will be made to
secure a recognition of the states liability and
provision for the payment Of the bonds from
the legislature.

THE GOSSIP OF LONDON.
The iliiteracy Of England Surprises Ger.
many's Emperor-Other Topics,

LONDON, Oct. 9.-One good is likely to result
from the visit Of the Emperor William to Eng
land recently. Among the many questions he
asked In his nervous iucisive way was one as to
the percentage OF literate persons in England.
An approximate estimate being given him he
bluntly expressed his surprise at the existence
OF such a condition Of popular ignorance in
country so wealthy and SO high in the scale of
civilization. His comments were repeated to
the queen, who lost no time in laying the mat
ter before her advisers and requesting them 10
suggest remedy. The persistent agitators
WHO have for 80 many years kept the question
OF free schools before the public in spite of
their discouraging experiences, feel at last that
there Is prospect Of seeing their labors
crowned with success but they complain Bit
terly OF the indifference Of most people of high
position, aud the open hostility of others, who
do not hesitate to proclaim education the par
ent OF socialism and anarchy. and frankly saw
that the common people know too much al
ready. 1t must be said to the credit of the
house OF lords that very few of them entertain
this sentiment, the ultra conservative element
who associate dynamite with spelling books.
finding their frmest supporters among country
squires and rural members of the house of cori-
mons.
THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE
Various circumstances have combined to bring
about a reaction in the anti-slavery cru.ade.
1t is an embarrassing fact that the efforts of
the German and English forces on the east
African coast have had the effect Of aggravat-
ing all the horrors of the slave trade. and il
cannot be SHOWN that they have at all dimin-
ished it in extent Even Cardinal Lavigerie
feels somewhat depressed at the prospect and
has postponed the proposed conference until
spring.
THE Iron GATE" WILL NOT OPEN.
1t is stated, owing to conservative pressure,
the work Of removing the distractions to navi-
cation at the Iron Gate" of the Danube win
be stopped. The old school OF nobility. who
have SO frantically opposed the project for
years, have again been successful in their pro-
test. The fear of opening way for hostile iron
clads into the heart of Austria, has once more
outweighed the appeals Of the commercial
classes.

Rush arrived here yesterday from Alaska.
Lieut.. Commander Shepard was interviewed
about the rumors current here for the last few

The commander smiled and said he had not
heard of any such threats until he had read
them in the papers on his arrival at Port Town

OF the kind had been uttered, and the state
ment must have come from irresponsible par

MANITOBA MATTERS.
The Cabinet Splits and the Attorney
General Disappears.

CHICAGO; Oct. IA Ne,cs special from VIM
nipeg, Man., says: There is split in the Mani
tobs cabinet, and, according to street rumor,
1t is caused by Attorney General Martin having
got all the 'profts" from the Northern Pacific
company and refusing to share with his col
leagues Whether true or not the attorney
general has disappeared. The Free Press says:
Before anything can be done by the govern
ment 1t Will be necessary to find MIR. Martin.
No one knows where he is, not even his col
Leagues. Some weeks ago he went east. He
tried hard, even to the extent of lying. to get
away unnoticed. He went to Ottawa and New
York: MIR. Oakes, president Of the Northern
Paclhc, lives In New York, and between him
and MIR. Martin there are little private business
dealings OF great interest to the latter. No
doubt Mr.. Martin went to New York to look
after these. He was atterward seen in Toronto
at which place all trace of him is lost Ii Is
SAID that he went to the Pacific coast and the
general belief is that he is somewhere out in
that direction, but whether on the Pacific coast
or In Botany Bay no one around the govern
ment buildings can give the least information.
